After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Wizards inherently believed wholeheartedly in such matters, and now that Chen Yu had spoken as well, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent and actually knelt on the ground to kowtow several times with great force.

"Rest assured, I will definitely bring them to safety. I do not know where you plan to go next, though."

Chen Yu immediately put on a helpless expression.

"The current Lakato Family is like loose sand. The reigning elder of the mountain cannot bear to watch the family become like this, so he wants to hand over his authority. It's just that apart from him, it's hard to say who else in the family can bear the divine right granted from above."

His words were extremely sincere and moved the wizard directly.

He looked at Chen Yu with a gaze akin to that of a pilgrim, then took a Jade Pendant from his person.

"This is the personal belonging of all wizards of the Lakato Family. If you go to other castles, just show this and find the local wizard there; they will take care of you."

Chen Yu was rather surprised, as he had thought wizards were just a special product of this castle; he did not expect that every place had one.

Thinking back carefully, he remembered that there seemed to be a wizard at the side of the elder with the mask on Mount Augustus.

That said, for an organization with such a strong religious atmosphere like the Lakato Family to set up the position of a wizard was not really unexpected.

After everyone had left, Chen Yu went to a shop.

Although the people here had left, the wizard had instructed them to leave some food behind before they did.

Most of the people from Black Hat Mountain were native desert dwellers, very familiar with the terrain and landforms of this area, and they had no obstacles traveling to Mount Augustus at night.

But Chen Yu was not the same.

The next place they were heading to was a thousand kilometers away from here, and they had to cross a vast expanse of quicksand. If they set out at night, they might encounter danger, so they could only stay here for the night.

The food left for them by the shopkeeper was extremely abundant, with not only prepared beef and mutton but also a great variety of desert specialties.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chen Yu sat down, tore off a large chunk of mutton, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This is much easier than I had imagined!"

Jin Lingsu was a bit puzzled, "That fat man you spoke of, how did he just spontaneously combust?"

Chen Yu took a sip of fruit wine, "There have been many instances of spontaneous human combustion throughout history, and moreover, that guy had so much visceral fat, it was bound to be out of control once it started burning."

Jin Lingsu nodded without asking further.

Such incidents were indeed numerous, and even in today's world, they were not uncommon.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk to their content and confirmed their route for the next day, they prepared to rest.

"Damn it, where have all the people here gone to?"

A rough voice suddenly came from not far away. Several burly men, who had not been there before and each holding a shiny broadsword, had arrived.

At their chest location, there was an emblem of the Lakato Family, but beside it, there was also a tree-shaped blue badge.

Chen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he stood up to greet them.

"Where are you from? Is there a problem?"

The leading strong man curled his lip, walked up to the table, grabbed a piece of mutton, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"We are guards under Kadoge's command. We're here to inform your master that the selection event for the elder of the mountain will be held in one month."

Chen Yu was slightly startled, he did not expect this man to be so brazen.

However, after searching through his mind for information on Kadoge, Chen Yu let it go.

This guy, just like Ural, is also one of the more powerful presences within the Lakatoga organization.

Moreover, they have coveted the position of the old man in the mountains for a long time and have proposed more than once to hold a re-election.

It seems that Kadoge is still unaware of the situation here.

Chen Yu forced out a thin smile and dragged several strong men over to the table.

"Your master is finally making a move. My master has considered this for a long time but just doesn't know how to reach out to the various castle owners!"

Kadoge and other powers are somewhat different, this guy is not a native of the desert, but comes from the grasslands, rumored to be a descendant of Genghis Khan.

They don't reside in castles but live nomadically, moving their camps depending on the water and grass availability.

If they didn't take the initiative to contact the outside world, I'm afraid no one would be able to find out where they really are.

Speaking of which, Kadoge's faction was originally quite excluded within the Lakato Family.

The Mongolian Empire was the first to eliminate the old man in the mountains, and as their descendants, the two were as incompatible as fire and water.

However, Kadoge's direct ancestors belonged to the Golden Horde, and they did not directly participate in the war that exterminated the old man in the mountains.

Moreover, during the Golden Horde's era, they even helped the descendants of the old man in the mountains gradually rebuild the organization.

After the fall of the Horde, this group of people joined the forces of the old man in the mountains, and later, they became members of the Lakato Family.

Yet that inherent bloodline exclusion still made them wander on the fringes of the Lakato Family.

By Kadoge's generation, they had become gradually stronger and thus harbored the desire to completely break away from the Lakato Family.

The strong men, seeing Chen Yu in such a fashion, didn't say much and just sat at the table to eat and drink heartily. Find more chapters on empire

The leading man surveyed the surroundings.

"Did something happen here? When I came in just now, I didn't see a single person, and there was an unpleasant burnt smell?"

Chen Yu chuckled and then led the man out of the shop, pointing to the distant castle.

"Our master, due to immense psychological pressure, committed self-immolation, so the matter of cooperation might have to wait."

The man's pupils suddenly dilated as he stared at Chen Yu with a strange look.

"What do you mean by that?"

The corner of Chen Yu's mouth suddenly curved into a bizarre arc, and he forcefully slapped the man's shoulder.

Jin Lingsu also made her move at this moment, taking out the few people in the house.

After a search, they found a large number of jewels and a handwritten letter in these people's bundles.

The writing on it was very peculiar, appearing to be the folk script of the Caucasus region, indecipherable even to Chen Yu.

Fortunately, these characters bore some resemblance to ancient Turkic, so he could barely discern some simplistic information.

It was nothing more than Kadoge wanting to join forces with Ural to attack Mount Augustus and force the man with the mask to abdicate, then to elect a new old man from the mountains.

Chen Yu packed up the items and turned back to the shop.

"No wonder the old fellow from Mount Augustus is so anxious; it turns out his subordinates are already plotting to rebel against him."

Jin Lingsu's face showed a hint of worry.

"Should we still continue to wade into these troubled waters? After all, it's their internal affairs, and getting involved seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"
