The Sealed Pearl was a commonly seen treasure. It was often sealed with powerful magic beasts or tools or sealed with a legendary spell with shocking power. Sui Xiong had laid eyes on such a thing like this more than once. He had even made some himself. At present, almost everyone high up in the ranks of Church of the Void Mask had one or two of his handmade Sealed Pearls. These pearls were sealed with spells used for protecting lives and escaping. The power was certainly reliable.

So what was sealed within this Sealed Pearl?

Sui Xiong held up the Sealed Pearl and observed it carefully.

The technology it used did not entail modernized spells, but rather, extremely ancient elven spells. It was apparent that this was left behind by the elven gods.

Sui Xiong compared the technology of this Sealed Pearl with the technology that the Master of Mystery used to seal the corpses of the elven gods and this little God’s Kingdom. Suddenly, he seemed to gain some understanding and felt that the search had been quite rewarding.

The elven gods were great experts in the Art of Magic. The Master of Mystery was deserving of his status as the greatest master in this line of work. Both kinds of technologies had their own merits. In the past, the only magic technology that Sui Xiong had been in contact with was the one used by the Master of Mystery. Now, coming into contact with the elves’ magic technology, it was a sudden eye-opener for him.

“I can’t believe that such technology can still be used! This is… a sealing system constructed based on nature spells? Among the modern druids, I’m afraid there’s no one capable of this…

“Oh! So it turns out to be such a principle! So ingenious!”

He could not stop singing praises and deeply felt that this trip was certainly rewarding and not made in vain. He also decided that he would spend some time in the future to carefully look through and examine his treasure trove. He should see whether he could find any more surprises like this from his own treasures.

After spending about an hour or so, Sui Xiong finally gained a thorough grasp of the technology of this Sealed Pearl. He could display the same means too.

But looking at the Sealed Pearl that he had just replicated, Sui Xiong still could not help shaking his head.

It was just knowing how to do it. He was still not proficient in it.

This was just like taking an examination. If this Sealed Pearl left behind by the elven gods had a full score of 100, then the pearl that he had replicated was at best 70. Of course, 70 did qualify for passing. But there was still a long way to go from 70 to 100.

However, Sui Xiong also had no intention of going to that extent in practicing elven spells. After all, the reason why the old spell system was replaced by the new spell system was because the new system was better to use, easier for practice and much more stable.

As for power and the likes of it, would it be that Sui Xiong still lacked any powerful means?

So learning up to this point was more or less enough. In the future, should Arcaian be interested, he could still sort out these old elven spells. Then he could teach Arcaian in detail so that this God of Medicine, who was already the hope of the Elven race, could study these in-depth.

Of course… regardless of how much studying was carried out, wanting to reproduce the glory of the Elven Kingdom from the former times was regrettably impossible.

Closing his eyes and summarizing the information, Sui Xiong tried to disassemble this Sealed Pearl.

There was a great difference between the older, elven sealing technique and the modern sealing technique. There was no need to disassemble the Sealed Pearls made via the modern sealing technique to find out what they contained. On the other hand, the Sealed Pearls made via the older elven sealing technique had to be taken apart to find out what they contained.

In other words, its confidentiality was much higher, but its level of convenience was much lower.

Undoing the seal was much easier than making the seal. Sui Xiong only took a very short time to almost open the seal. However, just as he was about to completely disassemble the seal, he was struck by a sudden thought. Taking this Sealed Pearl, which had 60 to 70 percent of it disassembled, he left this little world—using the treasure trove that was transformed with the God of Potion’s God’s Kingdom as a base, he returned to his own God’s Kingdom.

Over here, he was almost omnipotent. Even if there were any variables, he could always keep them under control.

If there was a powerful legendary spell within this seal while he was in his own God’s Kingdom, he could always make it in time to reseal it and not let it go to waste.

After a while, the seal was completely opened. There was a green light that accompanied the power of nature, and then a figure bound by countless green chains, looking like a dumpling, appeared before Sui Xiong.

“A human?!” said Sui Xiong. He froze momentarily due to the sudden shock. Then he looked carefully and shook his head. “Actually, it’s not. It’s a… Ah, ugh… What’s this supposed to be?”

Through those chains, he could see a petite body like a human teenager. It was a small figure with a pair of beast ears. Looking carefully, those pair of ears bore some resemblance to that of a wolf or dog. But through its slowly opening mouth, he could see that it had also grown much more canine teeth than normal humans. It was sort of like a wild beast.

The more important thing was its disposition.

Though it was bound by chains like a dumpling, it exuded an unruly and violent force that was certainly the kind humans should not have. More importantly, on its body, Sui Xiong could not detect much light of wisdom. On the contrary, he could clearly feel the wildness of a beast.

“This is… a werewolf? Or a human raised by wolves? Humans don’t have ears like these… so it is a werewolf? Or maybe a hybrid?”

Sui Xiong muttered to himself for a moment, then went looking for Arcaian.

Arcaian was from the Elven race. As compared to a layman like himself, perhaps Arcaian would be clearer about the origins of this strange creature.

Regrettably, Arcaian was unclear too.

“Maybe my great-grandfather would know,” he said. “After all, half of his blood came from the advanced elf bloodline, and he was also part of the legacy of the ancient Elf Kingdom.”

So Sui Xiong went to look for Arcaian’s great-grandfather, Clarhott Pasteur.

Clarhott was working on an experiment at that time, so he was unhappy about the interruption. But when he saw that little fellow bound by green chains like a dumpling, all signs of anger vanished without a trace and his face was filled with a somber expression. This little fellow was instinctively starting to struggle. Bit by bit, it was exerting bouts of power to attempt to break free from these chains.

“The Lord of the Wolves, Kersemens?!” he exclaimed. His tone was a little tensed as he asked, “Why is this guy still alive?”

Sui Xiong was momentarily taken aback, then could not help asking, “The Lord of the Wolves, Kersemens? What’s this little guy’s background?”

Clarhott regained his composure only then, and said, “It’s an ancient demon whose origin has long been unverifiable. We only know that it has an endless magic power that’s so powerful, and also, it is able to control all the wolves. Therefore, it’s called the “Lord of the Wolves.’ In addition, it also has a nickname, which is the ‘inherent king of the mortal world’s magic power…’ In short, this guy is very powerful and dangerous.”

“How dangerous can he be?” Sui Xiong asked.

“According to the historical record, it was one of the earliest creatures that could be identified as using magic. At that time, it commanded the wolves and with great ease, and they traversed the great earth arbitrarily. Other than the powerful races like the dragons, there seemed to be no other race that could possibly confront them.”

“Even the elves couldn’t?”

“At that time, the advanced elves were still in the mortal world. The Golden Race’s one-upmanship was a notch higher than the Dragon Race, so how could we have lost to it?” Clarhott said proudly. “If we don’t stir any trouble for it, it should be more than thankful.”

Sui Xiong nodded slightly, then again, he asked, “So what happened later on?”

“Later on… probably after the Golden Race left, this guy caught a glimpse of the weakness of the Elf Kingdom and let the wolves attack us. That battle was named the ‘Wolf Disaster,’ and it was a very intense one at that. Because of the enchantment set by the Goddess of Life, the elven gods could not take the field personally. In the end, it took the combined efforts of the 12 demigod elders to destroy it… at least, this was what I know from what could be found in history.”

With that, he shook his head and sighed. “Though I was born sometime before the Golden Race left, by the time I grew up, the ‘Wolf Disaster’ was over. So I’ve only learned about it from the records left behind by my elders. But whether it be by looks or disposition, this guy is obviously Kersemens!”

Sui Xiong nodded. Once again, he cast his gaze at the slowly awakening Kersemens.

There was actually such a subject within the treasure trove. How unexpected!

Looking at Kersemens, he could not help wondering if this lord from the ancient times would serve any purpose for him. Or if possible, what would be a better task to assign to it…?
