From Trite's previous education to Reji, it could be seen that although executors were regarded as big shots by the nobles of the Lower Senate, they were actually equivalent to local workers in the higher power of the Upper Senate.
The task of an executor was to collect qualified children from various places and hand over the majority of the benefits they reaped.
As for deeper secrets, they had no right to know.
Even Trite was not clear about where to deliver the goods and how to find their superior "governor".
Because according to convention, it was only the governor who unilaterally contacted them.
So for "governor" and "executor", the status of the two was vastly different. The secrets of the "Wall" that Reji wanted to get in touch with still had to be found from the governor.
The hidden teleportation array found by the Shadow Demon sent out by Reji was located in a temple in Stoneheim City.
Now Eileen had led a team and surrounded the place with the Demon Race.
Luxuries like temples could not be built in small countries or regions, so Reji rarely saw them before in Ilinor and the Syndicate.
As one of the three major countries, the Mage Nation had many temples built for the "Wisdom" fate track they believed in. This was very common in the three major countries. According to different fate tracks, there were also Radiant Temples and Judgment Temples.
In the hidden room of this temple, a Star Spirit crystal was inserted in the central teleportation array. However, from the color and texture of the crystal, it was much more rudimentary than those underground in the Syndicate desert.
Of course, it was more than enough to maintain a teleportation array.
Without letting Eileen wait too long, the crystal soon emitted light and then transformed into a door-like black hole. After a few more seconds, several figures walked out of the black hole. The leading one was particularly eye-catching.
He was in full armor, even his face was completely covered by a helmet. His appearance could not be seen from the outside, only a dark golden mask as a symbol of his identity as a "governor".
In addition to the governor and the seven or eight subordinates he brought with him, there were also several iron cages that were teleported along. From the cages, it could be seen that several children were unconscious on the ground, wrapped in chains.
It seemed that this governor had just "collected goods" from another city and was now continuing in Stoneheim City.
From this, the basic operation of this system could be seen.
Each executor was responsible for a single city, and a region composed of several cities was coordinated and summarized by a governor. Finally, it was also the governor who sent all the goods from the region to the core of the psionic wall.
Teleporting with the goods seemed to be a heavy burden for this governor. This was also common sense for teleportation magic. The greater the load, the more magical power was consumed.
But now, the state of this governor seemed to be even worse. He was seen swaying a little, forced to lean against the wall with one hand.
At this time, Shermen cast a questioning glance at Eileen.
Now was undoubtedly the best opportunity for a sneak attack.
But the succubus shook her head, indicating that she was not in a hurry and continued to observe more.
It could be seen that after several seconds of rest, the governor seemed to have barely recovered a little.
Seeing this, the followers behind him couldn't help but come forward and ask with concern, "Lord Governor, has the devouring power from the core host... intensified again?"
The governor did not speak and made a gesture to the followers with his hand. The subordinates immediately understood and quickly handed a box they were personally guarding to the governor.
The box was also dark gold in color. Eileen could also feel the fluctuations of Star Spirit crystals from it.
From its material, it could be seen how precious this box was, making one wonder what kind of thing inside could be worthy of being contained in such a precious Star Spirit crystal.
As the box opened, the governor carefully pinched his fingers and took out a...
Earthworm from the golden silk and satin inside the box.
Actually, it couldn't be called an earthworm. Although it looked similar, this earthworm was completely transparent, and there seemed to be psionic energy flowing from the Star Spirit inside, making its wriggling body emit a psionic glow.
Although it was high-level psionic energy, it appeared on this ugly worm-like creature. The combination of the two gave a very eerie feeling.
After taking out this precious psionic earthworm, the governor moved quickly and swiftly came to the three iron cages he had teleported with earlier.
Then the governor opened one of them. The sound of the cage door awakened a child who was unconscious inside.
Seeing the governor, this child showed a frightened expression, especially when he saw the worm the governor was holding in his hand, he became even more terrified and desperately curled up in a corner.
But this was to no avail. The governor rudely pulled him out, and then with the assistance of the servants, fixed the still struggling child. Then he took the previously wriggling psionic earthworm in his hand and placed it on the child's eye socket.
The earthworm then, as if finding soil, immediately drilled into the little boy's eye. It did not break the eyeball, but used it as an entrance, the closest entrance to the brain.
After the psionic earthworm crawled all the way into the little boy's brain through the eye socket, the boy's body began to convulse violently, his limbs twisting irregularly. After a few minutes, he quieted down.
When the boy raised his head again at this time, although his appearance had not changed much, his eyes were already hollow. He was no longer afraid of the governor, like a puppet that had been connected to strings.
