My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Chapter 19 Rats, Nobody

When Su Tu opened his eyes again, his consciousness had already entered his avatar.

He gazed at the bright moon hanging in the sky and secretly estimated the time in his mind.

"It should be about time; there should be quite a few people gathered around by now."

Given Bote's personality, he should have already sent people to lie in ambush in the area.

However, these people are probably just monitoring and won't actually attack.

It's very simple. Since Bot has approached the princess hoping she can help him in the Holy Land, he's done so.

Naturally, they wouldn't take action here, lest they disrupt their already well-prepared plan.

Walking to the wall of the ruins, Su Tu looked around but didn't see a single person.

The surroundings were quiet, as if there was no one else around except himself.

Of course, Su Tu wouldn't think that way.

He secretly used his magical artifact appraisal ability to scan the surrounding area.

Soon, streaks of pale blue light appeared within his field of vision.

These lights appeared in relatively remote locations, places suitable for Tibetans.

As for these rays of light, they are naturally the identification information of magical artifacts.

"This ability is surprisingly effective at finding people."

The Royal Scouts are basically equipped with a magical tool.

When going into action, at the very least, they will carry a piece of magical soft armor.

That is, the one that Su Tu first used a magical tool to discover information.

"Based on the information displayed, there should be 10 people."

Su Tu glanced around and had already determined the number of Royal Reconnaissance Team members lurking in the vicinity.

The reason so many people came must be because Bot was worried that something unexpected might happen and cause their plans to fall apart halfway through.

The unknown is always the most dangerous thing to be wary of. It's normal for that guy to be so vigilant after being in the Royal Reconnaissance Team for so long.

He thought this to himself, but his gaze still drifted away from the pale blue light and toward the path beside the woods.

This road is the only main road leading to the ruins of this church.

There are countless paths, but now they're mostly occupied by the reconnaissance team.

If Rhys had come in from another route, who knows if he would have run into those people.

As he pondered, a figure entered his field of vision, gradually approaching the church ruins.

Upon seeing this figure, Su Tu's lips curled up slightly, showing no surprise whatsoever.

After all, the other party didn't know about the reconnaissance team, so there was no need to act like thieves.

Walking the right path openly and honestly makes one seem more normal.

Going into the woods late at night would arouse suspicion no matter how you look at it.

Of course, if the other side knew that the area was surrounded by reconnaissance teams, they probably wouldn't come over.

He personally introduced a third-party force to disrupt the situation, and naturally, he wouldn't tell Rhys about it.

It wasn't until Su Tu reached the ruins of the church that he snapped out of his reverie and slowly began to walk down.

"Ready?"

Even after a day apart, Rhys's voice remained indifferent, unchanged.

That pale, sickly face showed no sign of improvement, just like always.

It's as if this face is something you were born with, and has nothing to do with what you did later in life.

Or rather, the sickly aura that a person exudes is innate.

"alright."

Su Tu nodded, his deep eyes filled with tranquility under the moonlight.

Whether it's using magic as a trump card or introducing third-party forces, he has prepared everything perfectly.

Now all that's left is to use Rhys's experience to enter the Imperial Holy Land.

"Let's go then."

Having received confirmation from Su Tu, he did not linger there any longer, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Just then, a slight disturbance came from the woods not far away.

He slowly pulled his foot back, which was about to step out, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

His calm eyes were now filled with vigilance, and his fingers rested lightly on the ring.

Su Tu had been secretly observing Rhys, and naturally, he also took in this scene.

"This scene seems familiar."

He thought to himself, and the memory of his first visit to Rhys's house flashed through his mind.

At that time, after he revealed his intention to buy the Ashir treasure, he seemed to have made the same move.

Could it be...

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the ring on Rhys's hand.

A pale blue light emerged from the ring, gradually twisting into lines of text.

The Ring of Tres

[S-level]

[Able to eliminate a designated person. After elimination, the person will enter a state of unconsciousness for half an hour. Limited to one person at a time. The number of people in the ruins can be increased to three. Cooldown time: one day.]

Upon seeing the information displayed on the ring, Su Tu's pupils contracted slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

He hadn't expected that the unremarkable ring in Rhys's hand was actually an S-class magical artifact.

It's one thing to be able to eliminate a designated person, but in the ruins, the number of people eliminated was as high as three.

If it weren't for its negative effects, this ring would be considered the most powerful magical artifact.

Su Tu suddenly realized that the reason Rhys hadn't used the ring to kill him that day was...

They were probably worried that using it would cause them to enter a state of unconsciousness and be killed by Su Tu's people.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly realized that pretending to be profound and unfathomable that day was the best choice he could have made.

Now that he knows, he is prepared, and the threat has decreased considerably.

Su Tu let out a silent sigh and looked toward the bushes from which the sound had come.

A pale blue light was flickering there.

It was obvious that this was where the Royal Scouts were hiding.

For members of the Royal Scouts, this is incredibly unprofessional.

He inwardly grumbled, but took a few steps forward and headed toward the bushes from which the sound came.

Of course, he walked slowly, and his expression was full of vigilance.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Rhys had stopped taking a step, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason he came to investigate before Rhys was naturally because he didn't want the reconnaissance team's affairs to be exposed so quickly.

Otherwise, his plan to fish in troubled waters would have collapsed halfway through.

Thinking of this, he slowed his pace even further.

On the surface, he looked like a vigilant hunter, cautiously approaching his prey.

Hidden in the bushes, Lila dared not wipe the cold sweat from her forehead as she listened to the approaching footsteps, fearing a direct attack.

He really didn't expect that when his leg went numb from squatting, he would accidentally touch a branch and make a tiny sound when he moved it slightly.

Unfortunately, it's nighttime now, and the surroundings are very quiet; even the slightest sound can travel a long way.

If he had known, he would have listened to Bot and wouldn't have moved an inch, even if it meant death.

He tried to suppress his increasingly labored breathing in an attempt to calm his rapidly beating heart.

But as the footsteps drew closer, his heartbeat grew louder and louder, like the beating of drums.

Soon, the footsteps stopped, and the air around him seemed to freeze, making it hard for him to breathe.

He closed his eyes slightly, gritted his teeth, and prepared to fight to the death, but then he heard a voice that he could not believe.

"Rat, nobody's here."

Su Tu's calm voice, at this moment, was like heavenly music flowing into Lira's ears.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when the footsteps faded into the distance.

Only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat and clung tightly to his back.

He secretly peeked out and saw Su Tu and Rhys walking away one after the other.

"Phew, thank goodness I wasn't discovered. If I hadn't hidden well enough, I probably would have been dead this time."
