Minos knew that the Nine-tailed Foxes were native of the Continent of the Beast because of the memories of the God Henricus Longus. And he knew that this breed had great potential, so they had a lot of influence on that continent.
Thus, a beast with such a background would hardly leave its continent to come to the Central Continent. That's because, on the continent where Minos was, there were no high-level races that could reach the human form.
Because of this, humans on the Central Continent did not have an equal relationship with these beasts. On the contrary, they thought they were superior, almost always in the position of master of the beasts they had. As for the weaker beasts, they were just animals that would serve as food.
And even in those higher-level empires or kingdoms on this continent, they still didn't see these beasts in the same way as humans. Even those who knew that high-level beasts were very similar to humans still did not treat them the same way.
Because of this behavior, the Central Continent has had many problems with the Continent of the Beast, generating a strong sense of rejection of the beasts of this continent.
As for humans who saw these high-level spiritual beasts in the same way as humans were mainly on the Divine Continent, the strongest place in the Spiritual World!
For this reason, a beast that can advance through the stages and even takes a human form generally did not come voluntarily to the Central Continent. If they wanted to go out and see new places, these beasts would go to the Divine Continent, not the area where Minos was.
'She was probably captured by some human group and then brought here.' Minos thought about it as he analyzed the situation of this beast.
He then asked the thin man in front of him. "What exactly is your boss' plan for these foxes?"
Dugal then responded promptly. "Ehh, he intended to capture the two beasts and then sell them on the Black Market."
Upon hearing this, Minos put his hand on his chin and began to make his plans. 'It will be great if these thugs don't kill the mother fox...'
If they captured the two foxes, Minos could return the freedom of the two beasts, earning them immense respect. He wanted to draw them to his side, and the best way to do that was to give them back their freedom, leaving the mother fox with her cub.
Minos was also going to help them recover from any injuries they had, and then he would make his offer. With the Spatial Kingdom in his hands, he certainly had the resources to help the foxes level up more quickly, which they couldn't do independently.
Of course, if she refused, Minos would not force them. Because of the memories he had received, the young Stuart did not have an opposite view of these high-potential spiritual beasts. He knew very well that in the Divine Continent, there were many families with hybrid strains of humans and beasts!
"All right. Since you answered all these questions, you will be stuck here until I find this boss of you. If what you said is true, I will not kill you, but your spiritual cultivation will still be crippled." After saying that, Minos turned and headed for the room's exit.
As for Dugal, he had a pale expression on his face, as if he had lost much of his blood. Although it would not be the end of the world for him to have his cultivating base crippled, it would still be a significant setback.
That's because, for someone in the General Spiritual stage, level 43, only the strength of his fleshy body was equivalent to a cultivator at the height of level 29. Therefore, he could only live as an ordinary person for the rest of his life!
But this was not the end of the world for Dugal. No, as someone with Blue talent, reaching level 50 would be very difficult. That's because the pills for advancing to that level were costly. Even if he were part of a large organization or a family, getting sponsorship for one of these pills would be complicated.
Thus, for Dugal, it would be almost impossible to reach the Spiritual King stage. As a result, his life expectancy would still be limited by its current stage, 850 years. And since spiritual cultivation was not related to this characteristic, even if he was crippled, he could still live to this age!
'Sigh... At least, I won't die.' Dugal thought to himself as he remembered the massacre that had happened before.
At the same time, Minos had let the muscular man live for a few more days. That was because he wanted to make sure that Dugal was telling the truth before killing the last person who could help them besides Dugal. Thus, Minos would only execute the muscular man when he was sure that the information received was accurate.
...
The night quickly passed, and the first rays of light began to appear in the sky of the Yellow City. Minos and his group had stayed all night in the mansion in the center of the city. At the same time, some soldiers collected the little material in this place that could help in the plans of Minos.
They wanted to know some basic information about this place, such as data from a census, population, the talent of the inhabitants, etc. This could help Minos attract the neediest groups to his side by adjusting his plans to the reality of this city.
At the same time, all the traders who the bandit group had kidnaped had been released. Many of them sincerely thanked the group of Minos, leaving their identities and even inviting Minos and his group to visit their families.
Even a trader from the Silva family had long insisted that Minos go to the Red Valley to receive a reward!
Little did he know that an enemy had helped him...
But Minos did not care for that merchant. He did not have the distorted idea that all members of the Silva family were his enemies. He would certainly kill anyone in that family, or other powers, who would challenge him. Still, he would not do that to those who were not involved in the Silva family's schemes and did not try to plot against him.
That was the nature of Minos' personality!
In addition, it would be impossible for that merchant to recognize him and say anything that could undermine Minos' plans.
Minos was not a well-known person in the Brown Kingdom, and he was just a young man at the beginning of cultivation. Therefore, nobody would pay attention to him until he reached the 5th stage of cultivation!
Anyway, time passed quickly, and the Yellow City was already entirely illuminated by the sun's rays.
It wasn't long before the city began to 'come alive,' with several windows opening, residents leaving their homes, and the characteristic noise of a place like this being heard.
There were sounds of birds singing, low-level spiritual beasts emitting their characteristic sounds, the sound of the wind passing through some trees, and some people talking. That gave a pleasant feeling to anyone who came from a big city, like Elen, who was used to the various noises of a very populated place.
However, as that pleasant morning passed slowly, a rumor began to circulate through the streets of the Yellow City. The news was that a group from outside the city had attacked and exterminated the band of criminals occupying the town!
It didn't take long, and the citizens of this place began to discuss this issue actively.
...
In one of the many houses in the Yellow City, a young man ran through the front door, going to the room where his family was having breakfast at the moment. "Father! Mother! Have you heard the news of what happened yesterday?" The young man said excitedly.
The middle-aged man who was eating stale bread and drinking a cup of milk turned his head and looked at his eldest son. "Enan, why are you so excited? That bastard, Gul, left yesterday, but he'll certainly be back soon." He said calmly.
The young Enan then shook his head and said, smiling. "You misunderstood me, father. I'm not talking about the news of that guy leaving town yesterday."
"I'm talking about what happened last night. I just heard that a group attacked and killed all the bandits that were in town yesterday!" He said with a big smile on his face.
"What? Is that indeed true?" A middle-aged woman asked as she placed a glass full of milk in front of a child.
Enan then looked at his mother and waved. He then continued. "Hmm, I heard that many people saw one of the attacks that were carried out in that nightclub on the south side of the city."
"According to what I heard, after seeing what happened yesterday at that nightclub, some curious people went looking for the bandits who were at the city entrances and the mansion. But there were none of them in these places, just different people, whom we have never seen before."
Enan's father stopped eating and then said with a slight smile on his face. "Finally, someone did something about these bums. Is this a new sovereign sent by our kingdom?"
