LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 464: Old Klass
A few days later…
The hideout of the Kings of the Iron Valley within the mountain was in turmoil.
Looking more closely at the place it was possible to see that a large group appeared.
Each of these people wore white clothes with the design of a skull pierced by a knife. Unlike the Kings of the Iron Valley group, the group that came had men and women together. Each of them had fierce auras.
They were the people that the leader of the Iron Valley Kings group called a few days ago.
The group leader followed the leader of the Kings of the Iron Valley to his mansion. The two were sitting across from each other.
"I am happy that you have arrived. Old Klass, did Chief Parke send you this time to settle this matter?" The leader of the Kings of the Iron Valley group asked the person in front of the other side.
Klass was an old man with white hair, but despite his old appearance, he had muscles all over his body.
His image was a little strange to see because it is very rare to see an old man with a bodybuilder body.
"Hach, is the leader curious to know how you allowed an intruder to enter the hiding place?" Klass asked in a nonchalant tone. He did not care about this matter, as it was not his jurisdiction.
The head of his group sent him and a few other people because Hach was paying them to help.
"It happened because some idiots lit a fire at the entrance. To prevent those damned creatures from huddling in front of the hideout, the guards had to go out and teach that person a lesson. But that person must be some kind of envoy from another group, otherwise, he would not have killed the guards and hid inside the mountain." Hach showed his thoughts.
After a long and intense investigation, Hach discovered how Liu Yang managed to enter his group's hiding place, but he didn't know what he was doing to hide.
"I see… The Wild Regions really a place with few reliable people to be the guard of entry. Hach, you need to find better and more reliable people for this task" Klass commented casually. He found this event very amateurish.
Guarding the entrance should be done by powerful and reliable people, as they are the ones who will protect the base from any type of invasion through the front door.
So qualified people were needed to do this job.
"I know that, but let's put that matter aside and focus on the main subject. Old Klass, do you have any idea how to find this intruder?" Hach didn't want to spend time talking about random things, so he went straight to the main topic.
"According to your report, that person may be hiding somewhere within that village or on the mountain, right?" Old Klass had to listen to the reports again to see if there were any errors or not.
"Yea. That's what I think. I already ordered my most loyal subordinates to check every corner of this village, but I found nothing. Besides, the exit doors have not been opened either, so that person is still inside."
"I see… So there is only one answer. If all the people who live in the village are the same as before and the only exceptions are those who have died. The invader is hiding underground. Did any residents hear sounds of digging?" Old Klass came to that conclusion from little information.
"No. No digging sound was heard. Not even signs that any site has been excavated. Besides, these rocks are very hard. To excavate at that location would require powerful equipment. Such a person would not come to a place like this" Hach did not think that a person with powerful equipment would visit a place of little value like his hiding place.
"I see ... What you said is true. A rich and powerful person would not come to a place like this. But there is an exception." Old Klass was aware of some things that Hach did not know.
"An exception?" He did not understand what this exception was.
"Hach, a few days ago. The door was opened and tens of millions of adventurers entered the Wild Region. So the person who came from this being one of those people or he was sent by the group of those witches" Old Klass explained.
"Has the door been opened again? Has it been five hundred years? " Hach was surprised to find this out. He never imagined that more adventurers would have entered the Wild Region.
As a person who was born inside the Wild Region, he always wanted to explore the outside world, but he is too weak to pass the Exit Challenge. So he could only live inside this dangerous and hostile world until the day of his death.
"Yea. I received this information a few days ago."
"But if this invader is someone who has come from the outside world, he shouldn't have known about my hiding place or this place. So, he didn't have reason to hide. So I assume he is a spy sent by those witches." Hach thought about it and came to that conclusion as well.
"The question now is how to find that person or get him out of hiding. Hach, do you have a problem if I blow up some of your hiding places?" Old Klass had a plan in mind to try to locate Liu Yang.
"Old Klass, I just ask that you be careful when you do this. Otherwise, the mountain could collapse and kill everyone inside" Hach warned. He did not want to be killed or lose his hiding place, as it would be very difficult to dig another place to hide inside the Iron Hand Valley.
The current hiding place was blown up and dug after several dozen years of hard work.
Hach did not want to spend several months outside at the mercy of the cursed creatures.
"Hach, you don't have to worry about that. I will not cause many explosions. My goal is to check if there are any tunnels around here or not. If the invader is hiding on the mountain, he must have dug some tunnel." Old Klass commented on Hach's concern. He also did not want to blow up the hiding place because he and his subordinates were also inside.
Thus, he would not attempt suicide by blowing up the place.
"I'm glad to hear that" Hach was not an idiot.
If old Klass tried to go out to make the explosions, he would force the old man to stay in hiding.
"I will stop wasting time here and start work" Old Klass said goodbye.
"I will be waiting for the results" Hach paid a large number of ores to enlist the help of another group. So he hopes that his efforts will pay off.
A few seconds later ...
