Chapter 49: Chapter 49

After Solon Linton saw Loren admit that he was the one who had guided Lanck.

He, behind the screen, began to ponder.

How could he probe, without being too abrupt, yet clearly find out the purpose of this Great Druid from the land ruled by the "Gods" who had quietly arrived in the Federation.

The local "Nature Sect" that Solon Linton currently belonged to was in a honeymoon period with the Federation.

The previous sect leader had even joined the Federation Council, which was why the local "Nature Sect" now had an open and legitimate footing.

Solon Linton was very afraid that this unfamiliar Great Druid had come to sabotage this relationship.

After all, in Solon Linton's impression, Great Druids who came from the land of the "Gods" were always very radical.

However, what puzzled Solon Linton somewhat was.

As a legendary Druid himself, he hadn't heard any rumors from the "Moonlight Goddess" or the "God of Nature" about having any intentions towards the Federation...

Could he be out traveling the Star Realm? Solon Linton guessed in his mind.

Solon Linton: "Among those who revere nature, having a Great Druid like Your Excellency who cares so much for the younger generation is truly a fortunate thing."

Looking at the other party's reply, Loren couldn't help but think to himself.

Why does it feel like each one is easier to fool than the last? Is it an illusion?

Seeing the other party being so "pure and innocent," Loren's mischievous streak came bubbling up again.

Anyway, fooling one was fooling, and since things had already progressed to this point, fooling a few more naturally wouldn't cause any psychological burden.

GreatDruid233WhoRespectsNature: "Did you have something to discuss with me this time? Great Druid Solon."

Solon Linton: "Has Your Excellency come to the Federation to travel the Star Realm? Or were you guided by those two?"

Seeing the other party directly asking about his reason for seeking him out, Solon Linton stopped overthinking and instead directly voiced his doubts.

Facing such a venerable and respected Great Druid, deception was meaningless.

"Nature will naturally provide guidance."

Looking at Solon's message, Loren was thinking about how he should answer.

Those two? No idea, probably big shots...

Better not steer the conversation in that direction, easy to give myself away.

GreatDruid233WhoRespectsNature: "Traveling the Star Realm, comprehending nature."

Loren chose to follow the other's train of thought, giving a vague answer.

After seeing Loren's reply, the worry in Solon Linton's heart subsided.

Just here to travel, that's good, that's good...

The current relationship between the local Nature Sect and the Federation shouldn't be rashly changed, this is very good as it is.

Solon Linton: "On behalf of the local Nature Sect of the Federation, I welcome Your Excellency's arrival. If Your Excellency requires assistance, my forum name is my real name. Please contact me using Nature's Messenger, and I will spare no effort."

Seeing the message sent by the other party, Loren chuckled.

If only I knew the Nature's Messenger spell...

GreatDruid233WhoRespectsNature: "I will, thank you for your trouble. Great Druid Solon, may nature bless you."

After saying this, Loren quickly went offline.

Talking with such a Great Druid kept Loren's nerves on high alert.

Although he hadn't been exposed in the end, Loren was truly afraid the other might ask something he didn't know.

Thankfully, he was "fortunate" enough.

Smiling, Loren felt the "Fortune" state he had been maintaining and silently praised his fifth ability.

From now on, as long as he maintained this persona of a Great Druid traveling here from outside the Federation, he would surely learn some inside information about the Nature Sect.

For example, whether the "Gods" had turned their gaze upon the Federation...

For example, how the Nature Sect dealt with people impersonating their sect...

If future circumstances met expectations, he could even create a small alt account, pretending to be a newbie, and genuinely join the Nature Sect...

That would be truly interesting.

Thinking this, the corner of Loren's mouth lifted into an extremely flamboyant angle.

"My dear master, you're smiling like a villain whose scheme has succeeded," Raven's voice came from beside him.

"Shut up, you're too noisy." It hasn't been realized yet, it's just a plan.

Loren got up from the sofa, intending to go down to the lobby on the first floor to inquire about when the Energy Department's blockade of the Dusk Star Domain would end.

It had been blocked for over half a month; if he hadn't bought a portable computer, Loren probably would have been bored out of his mind.

The reason Loren had to wait until the Energy Department lifted the blockade before he could leave the Dusk Star Domain.

Was because inter-stellar travel only had two methods: "starships" and "teleportation arrays."

And regardless of which one, it required space to no longer be locked down.

Currently, the Energy Department, one of the Federation's three most powerful departments, had used countless interstellar warships and mechas to blockade the space around the Dusk Star Domain, forming a spatial net.

Prohibiting anyone from warping or teleporting.

Therefore, for Loren to go to the Jadeite Star Domain, he could only wait for the spatial net established by the Energy Department to be dismantled.

In the first-floor lobby.

After inquiring at the reception desk about the specific situation, Loren silently headed towards the lounge on the third floor.

The Energy Department's investigation and purge were almost over.

Only one place remained un-investigated and un-purged—the Main City of the Dusk Star Domain.

But this place was also the political and power center of the entire Dusk Star Domain, with a highly complex situation and crisscrossing interests.

So when the Energy Department would finish its investigation remained an unknown to the outside world.

Returning to the third-floor lounge, Loren habitually opened his portable computer.

Who should I tease today? Forget it, let's tease those guys from the Security Bureau.

Those guys, their way of talking is also interesting, and they're easy to provoke...

Perhaps because of the Security Bureau's special status within the Federation, few dared to tease the Security Bureau's official account .

So, facing Loren's provocations each time, the other side always easily lost their cool.

This also brought Loren a great deal of amusement.

Now, on the Interstellar Hunter forum, everyone knew there was a newcomer who kept chasing after the Security Bureau's account to provoke them...

The Energy Department finally announced the news that the investigation had concluded.

The blockade of the Dusk Star Domain was lifted.

The large-scale investigation and purge lasting about a month had ended.

Within the Dusk Star Domain, a large portion of the politicians and officials familiar to the populace had disappeared, all of them now residing in the Energy Department's prisons.

Most of the people now active on television and in the news were new faces.

And the impact of this investigation went far beyond that.

Even within the Gray Zone.

Those hyenas hiding in the darkness had also decreased by a large half.

Throughout the Dusk Star Domain, illicit activities in the shadows had diminished significantly.

All kinds of business related to contraband had ground to a halt.

These situations were even heard by Loren, who was hiding in the Interstellar Hunter Branch.

However, Loren didn't overly concern himself with the specific situation of the Dusk Star Domain after undergoing the purge.

Those things had little to do with him now.

Now, he was going to leave the Dusk Star Domain.

With a heart full of anticipation, he was going to another wealthy star domain—the Jadeite Star Domain.

Before boarding the starship, Loren looked back at the scenery of the Dusk Star Domain and said to himself:

"I hope it doesn't come down to having to pull off a job."
