He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Western Continent, Dome Academy.

Cresos and Gaelost remained in front of the treasure tower, waiting together for Shepard to emerge from inside.

After an unknown amount of time, Gaelost finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned to ask Krysos.

"Did your sister say what she came here for? Why hasn't she come out yet?"

Chrisos also looked impatient when asked by Galloster.

"have no idea."

"All right…"

Galloside turned back helplessly.

Three full hours have passed since Xie Bai asked him to protect Krissos.

During this time, he and Krysos didn't go anywhere; they stayed in front of the treasure tower waiting for Xie Bai to return.

However, nothing happened after that.

Logically speaking, even if the actual students of the Dome Academy entered the Treasure Tower, they should have chosen their desired treasures by now, given all this time.

He couldn't understand why someone as strong as Xie Bai would linger inside for so long.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, since all he needed to do was make sure Cresos was alright.

But the key point is that others don't see it that way.

Imagine seeing a grown man and a little girl sitting together for a long time without moving, and the little girl's expression is never very pleasant. What would a normal person's reaction be...?

One.

A kind-hearted man happened to encounter a little girl who had gotten separated from her family, and stayed by her side until her family returned to claim her.

two.

A father and daughter had a disagreement, and the daughter refused to leave in a huff, which gave the father a real headache.

three.

"Holy crap! There are still human traffickers these days, they even dared to kidnap the greatest mother of my Valhalla!"

"Wait a minute, who is this guy? Why is he being so arrogant in broad daylight?"

"I think it was the head of the magic department, right?"

"How dare the head of the magic department be so arrogant! Knowing that our mother is frail and timid and dares not resist, he uses his power to keep her pinned down in this remote corner. It's utterly shameless!"

"Um...I mean, is there a possibility?"

"Impossible! No matter how you look at it, there's no way Lady Kriss could have traveled all the way from the Southern Continent to here, and then been with a man she had absolutely no connection with. This is clearly a kidnapping orchestrated by the Dome Academy, with the aim of using it to coerce the Hall of Heroes into opening a branch there!"

"Damn, how could this Dome Academy be so bad? It's already completely dark."

Numerous rumors spread on player forums, and in just three hours, Galloster and the Dome Academy behind him were thrust into the spotlight.

As a wealth witch widely praised by players, Clythos's influence among players is overwhelming, to the point that many players have spontaneously organized themselves to become Clythos's powerful support team.

These players provided considerable assistance to Krysos in her previous plan to delay Ivy and the others.

Now, one of the members happened to witness Krysos and Galost together, and before they knew it, related discussions erupted on the player forums.

Although Galloster himself was unaware of the discussions on the player forums, he could sense that many people from outside the school had suddenly appeared at Dome Academy.

Since most of them were the common, undead, Gaelost hadn't paid much attention to them at first.

But as more and more people without a destiny began to linger around him, and occasionally emanated a sense of disgust, he seemed to sense that something was amiss.

It seems their motives are all directed at Clythos.

"Um……"

Galloster fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, it dawned on him.

"No wonder that lord specifically asked me to protect this young lady. It turns out there really are so many people watching her. In that case, I can't afford to let my guard down."

Therefore, in response to the players' probing, Geralst ruthlessly activated the shielding barrier, keeping all the players who were trying to ascertain Krysos's current situation outside.

However, this action confirmed the thoughts of all the players who came to investigate the situation.

"Damn it! The intelligence was actually true! This Dome Academy is seriously suspicious!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yu Yunsheng was at the core of the Hall of Heroes, handling various matters that had gathered there.

Due to various factors, including potential trouble, Atoris was only responsible for providing military support and guaranteeing liability when needed.

Most of the miscellaneous tasks at other times were left to Yu Yunsheng, the actual manager of Valhalla.

Fortunately, Yu Yunsheng also needed this method to ensure his value and status, so this management method was retained and became the official operating model of Valhalla.

While handling various affairs of the Hall of Heroes, Yu Yunsheng also took on various requests from the cat.

For some reason, her intuition about certain secret things was quite accurate.

She provided solutions to many of the various problems that [Sea Salt Lemon] encountered in the ruins.

Just now, Yu Yunsheng finally finished processing the last batch of feedback documents. Having finally been able to rest for a moment, she opened the player forum, ready to browse what major events had recently occurred that were worth paying attention to.

Then she saw the bombshell news that the Wealth Witch had been abducted and sold to the Western Continent.

"Huh?"

Yu Yunsheng uttered a question after a long time.

"Wait, what is all this? How come I didn't know about this?"

Upon hearing the noise, Elania, who was resting on the table on the other side, groggily raised her head, rubbed her eyes, and asked.

"What's wrong... Sister Potato, are you off work...?"

Seeing that he had woken Alania up, Yu Yunsheng quickly shook his head.

"No, but it will be soon... By the way, Elania, do you know about Clythos? She's the Witch of Wealth from the Witch Guild Hall."

Upon hearing Yu Yunsheng's question, Elania chewed her fingers and said.

"The Witch's Guild? Hmm... I remember their representative was named Hiti. Not long ago, she seemed to have gone somewhere after agreeing to someone's request. She's not in Valhalla right now, so I can't ask her for information..."

As she spoke, Elania suddenly looked up at Yu Yunsheng.

"Sister Potato asked this... does she have a crush on someone from there?"

"Uh... well... not really."

Yu Yunsheng turned her head to one side.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she quickly opened her friends list and typed rapidly on it.

[Potato is not a taro: Wait, kitty, stop working on that archaeological site deciphering stuff, I have a question for you!]
