"What did he do after he showed up?" Glade asked.
"He has a kind of power in that world that can constantly bounce me away, making it impossible for me to cut those silk threads. I feel like a polo ball, being hit far away by the pole, and finally I run out of strength and he bounces me out."
"Well done, little one. You have already fought with his soul. You actually fought with a magician for so long as a magic apprentice. That guy is really embarrassing." Glade touched her head. "Considering your current level, it is amazing. This shows two things. One is that you are very talented. The second is that the guy's own realm is not high, and his mental strength is not strong. No wonder he is a sneaky thing. I guess he may be a wild mage."
Jenny was very happy to receive the teacher's praise, and although she was very tired, she still smiled shyly.
"Don't worry. Although I can't cure Team Leader Chen's poison, I can still suppress the poison and keep him alive in a short period of time." Glade saw that Kalanda looked anxious, so he walked over and said to her, "I don't know much about the people in this world. Have you heard of such a person?"
Although Lao Chen was seriously injured, Kalanda was the leader of the mercenary group after all. She quickly calmed down and recalled some information. "It sounds a lot like the killer 'Puppet Master'. If it's him, Lao Chen's poison is very dangerous."
Glade raised his eyebrows and said, "Puppet master? It doesn't sound like a good thing."
"The Puppet Master is a killer who has been famous for more than ten years. He should be a magician and alchemist. He is a man with no bottom line and is best at controlling others through magic. No one knows where he learned his weird magic. He has a disgusting habit, which is to make the people around the assassination target into puppets that he can control. When killing people, he never shows up, but always uses these puppets. Because many times, the target is not on guard against the people around him, it is particularly easy to succeed, and he himself is not in danger. Therefore, no one has ever been able to catch him during an assassination."
Glade thought for a while and said, "Maybe I have a solution. We are the descendants of the Spirit Tower. No one is better than us in matters concerning the soul!"

The news that Mayor Chen was injured by an assassin spread throughout the town. Although the news caused an uproar in the town, it did not cause chaos.
Unlike the baron era, the entire town is now managed by the town government. The mayor has fallen, but the deputy mayor, Kalanda, is still there, as is the captain of the guard, as well as the heads of industry, trade, intelligence, and organization. The heads of farms, forests, schools, and other institutions are still there, not to mention the mutual aid association and women's association to help manage the locals. As long as these institutions are functioning normally, the town government can control the town.
The comparison between feudal territorial management and modern administrative management is like the comparison between a stone axe and a rifle. The strength of modern government lies in its ability to reach every corner and every person in the town. Both the control and mobilization power are unimaginable for feudal nobles.
Moreover, under the guidance of a caring person, the people in the town are all saying that when the assassin appeared to attack the students, Mayor Chen stood up to fight for them. In the end, the children were unharmed, but the mayor was heroically wounded. A powerful warrior, a territory manager, can fall for a dozen farmers' children, which once again improves the Chinese in the hearts of local residents...

The people from Montenegro were still staying in the same inn where they had checked in three months ago.
When the Baron was defeated, some people suggested living in the Baron's small castle, but Chen Hansheng rejected it on the grounds that it was too out of touch with the masses. The Baron's castle has now become a public activity area for celebrations and gatherings, and more areas will be opened in the future to serve as facilities such as schools, libraries, and martial arts training grounds.
A room on the second floor of the inn. A beam of silver light flashed on Glade's fingertips. He quickly touched several vital points on Chen Hansheng's body, injecting silver light balls into his head, heart, lungs, liver... After being planted, these light balls did not dissipate, but were fixed at the corresponding positions on Chen Hansheng's body. Chen Hansheng was like a human-shaped neon light.
"It can last another day. According to my estimation, as long as I cast a spell once a day, his current physical condition can last at least three months." Glade cast a unique spell belonging to the Spirit Tower: Muscle Solidification. This spell was originally used to stabilize the physical condition of the target during soul surgery, and now it is just right to stabilize the toxins in Chen Hansheng's body. "In three months, we must find this puppeteer, or find another effective antidote."
"Thank you, Glade. If you weren't here, Old Chen..." Kalanda wiped his face and cheered himself up, "Then can we start to explore the whereabouts of the puppet master?"
Glade nodded: "Jenny should be almost recovered after a day's rest."
Karanda kissed Chen Hansheng on the forehead and followed Glade to the next room. They knocked on the door and entered the room. It was Doris who opened the door, and Jenny was lying on the bed resting.
"Teacher." Jenny sat up.
"How do you feel about the situation? Has the spirit of the object been reunited?" Glade asked.
"Yes. Teacher, I can start anytime." Jenny said confidently. In fact, she wanted to use the spirit of the object to help Glade find the enemy's trace yesterday, but Glade was unwilling to overdraw her soul power and asked her to rest fully before casting the spell.
"Hmph, let's let that guy know how powerful the Spirit Tower is." Glade waved his hands, and a light screen appeared on the white wall. He said to the others, "In a while, information about Rosa's operator will be released. You all need to watch the scene carefully and help me find information that can confirm the location."
Kalanda, Doris, as well as Wang Zifeng and Mareno who arrived later, all nodded in agreement.
Glade put his hand on Jenny's head and tried his best to stimulate her spirit. This was the soul that had fought with the opponent in the spiritual world before, and it had been entangled with the opponent's soul without knowing it. For ordinary mages, this level of soul mark cannot be tracked, but the mark left by the spirit of the spirit tower is extremely persistent and obvious. With Glade's corresponding secret technique, it can be used to find the opponent's trace.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the light curtain on the wall showed a scene, which was exactly what the enemy saw and heard at that moment.
