Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

As Aria, who carries the bloodline of the Serpent People Queen, it’s natural that she also inherited the curse from the first Serpent Queen.

When Charles’ strength was still not very formidable, Aria and Joshua had given him a lot of help, especially Joshua, who had given him the [fragment of jade tablet].

[fragment of jade tablet (orange-quality)]: Inject any attribute energy to activate. Though it’s just Joshua’s remnant, its combat power is equivalent to that of a fifth-level Beast Master, and it has 0/3 uses remaining.

When Charles was still a third-level Beast Master, the [fragment of jade tablet] helped him a great deal.

Had it not been for the [fragment of jade tablet], he would have had to resort to much riskier solutions when facing certain dangers.

Charles had never forgotten the help that Aria and Joshua had given him. He had even helped the Serpent People collaborate with the Robinson family of Genosha Calivia.

So, Charles said, “You must have an important mission in the secret realm, something related to the curse on Aria, right?”

The female Serpent froze for a moment, then looked at Charles incredulously, as if wondering how Charles knew about this.

Charles felt helpless. This female Serpent was cautious, but it seemed her intellect was lacking.

He waited for her to respond.

Soon, the female Serpent told him the story.

It turned out that, in order to suppress the curse, Aria and Joshua had discovered that an extremely rare light attribute alchemy material could temporarily alleviate the curse. That was why the female Serpent had been sent to Celestial City.

Moreover, the only Serpent available to be assigned to other tasks was the female Serpent herself.

Charles hadn’t expected the situation with Aria to be this dire. He said to the female Serpent, “Stop using those useless miracle drugs. I have plenty of purple-quality miracle drugs, and even some orange-quality ones.”

The female Serpent’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Charles, feeling resigned, took out his alchemist badge and said, “See this? This badge can only be possessed by a special-level alchemist. My teacher is a master-level alchemist, and miracle drugs are the one thing I never run short of.”

It was only at that moment that the female Serpent truly believed Charles. However, she only applied a small portion of the purple-quality miracle drug to her wound, keeping the rest for later.

Charles could only say, “If you don’t recover quickly, the task Aria entrusted to you might be delayed because of your injuries.”

The next moment, all the purple-quality miracle drug was applied to the wound, and the injury started healing rapidly.

Soon, after the female Serpent’s injuries had completely healed, Charles stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

The female Serpent, confused, asked, “Where are we going? I still need to help Her Majesty the Queen find…”

Charles interrupted her directly, “What is the name of that light attribute material? Follow me, I’ll help you.”

The female Serpent’s eyes lit up!

She had just witnessed Charles’ strength. The three talented Beast Masters from the Haunted Marsh were no match for him. Though one of them had been suddenly attacked by a ferocious beast, judging from Charles’ combat skills, it hadn’t taken him long to deal with the other two talented Beast Masters from the Haunted Marsh.

With Charles’ help, it would definitely be faster than searching for the material alone!

The female Serpent named the light attribute material, calling it [Tears of Light].

[Tears of Light]?

Charles thought carefully. He hadn’t seen this name on the map, and it was likely that this material wasn’t in the white maze.

So, Charles asked, “Can you be more specific? For example, the properties of [Tears of Light], its appearance, and any special characteristics?”

The female Serpent thought for a moment and answered, “Her Majesty the Queen told me that it’s a material that looks like tears, radiating white light, and it can drive part of the curse out of the Queen’s body…”

The female Serpent scratched her head, struggling to explain the exact principle, as the Queen hadn’t mentioned much about the process. She only knew that [Tears of Light] could be exchanged for a portion of the [Blood of the Demigod] from the Queen.

Charles wasn’t concerned with what the female Serpent was thinking. He simply noted down the characteristics of [Tears of Light] in his mind.

Since it wasn’t in the maze, they would have to leave quickly and search outside the white maze—perhaps other places would have it.

But before that, he still needed to raise Mia and Little Gold’s levels to the point where they could be promoted.

Soon, Charles checked the direction and led the female Serpent out of there.

The female Serpent introduced herself. Her name was Zara, given to her by Her Majesty the Queen.

When Charles heard this, he immediately felt that Aria must value this female Serpent quite a lot.

Meanwhile, outside the realm…

When Charles took out the special-level alchemist badge, the Ninth-level Beast Master from the Alchemy Guild couldn’t help but rub his eyes.

He wondered if he had seen it wrong, so he asked someone nearby.

Soon, after receiving confirmation from others, the Ninth-level Beast Master immediately took out his communication device and contacted the headquarters of the Alchemy Guild.

He seemed to recall that Charles was a genius Beast Master from Genosha, and his age was less than nineteen.

A special-level alchemist under the age of nineteen was extremely rare, even in the Haunted Marsh. He was a genius, an extraordinary existence!

How come he didn’t know about this?

Quickly, the Alchemy Guild sent a reply confirming that Charles was indeed a special-level alchemist, and that he was also a disciple of the master-level alchemist, Colton.

Upon hearing Colton’s name, the Alchemy Guild’s Ninth-level Beast Master finally understood what was going on.

Colton had offended many people in the Haunted Marsh. All information related to him was withheld by certain people within the Alchemy Guild.

No wonder there was no information about Charles from the Alchemy Guild’s headquarters. Otherwise, a special-level alchemist under the age of nineteen would surely have received significant attention from the headquarters of the Alchemy Guild.

Now that he knew about Charles, he could no longer ignore him.

At this moment, Everett, looking at Charles’ image, sneered, “What a fool. If it was just him alone, Charles could have stayed hidden as best as he could. But no, he had to bring a Serpent along!”

“And the direction he’s heading in happens to have three genius sixth-level Beast Masters from the Ancient Academy. Now, he’s done for!”

“Hahahaha!”

At Everett’s mocking laughter, Callum was about to retort, but before he could say anything, the Ninth-level Beast Master from the Alchemy Guild, Zane Du, furrowed his brow and spoke up in discontent.

“Everett, don’t be so reckless. Wouldn’t it be better for us all to explore the secret realm peacefully together?”

Everett suddenly turned his head and looked at the Ninth-level Beast Master from the Alchemy Guild, a confused expression on his face.

He asked in disbelief, “Huh? Zane Du, did you misunderstand? I was talking about Charles, not about your Alchemy Guild members.”

Zane Du, the Ninth-level Beast Master, glared at Everett and replied, “Didn’t you see? Charles just showed us the special-level alchemist badge from the Alchemy Guild. He’s one of our Alchemy Guild’s geniuses!”

Everett froze.

Earlier, when he suggested that Charles cooperate with the investigation to prevent Charles from entering the secret realm, Zane Du from the Alchemy Guild had strongly agreed.

Now, why had his attitude suddenly changed, claiming that Charles was one of their Alchemy Guild members?

Was it because of that special-level alchemist badge?

So what? Aside from Legendary-level alchemists, who deserves the respect and flattery of a Ninth-level Beast Master? What’s so special about a special-level alchemist?

Zane Du looked at Everett’s expression and realized that Everett hadn’t quite grasped what was going on.

So, Zane Du spoke seriously, “Charles, nineteen years old, special-level alchemist, and based on the information, he had never touched alchemy before he turned eighteen.”

“Even if you don’t know much about alchemists, you should understand the difficulty of that. So, you’d better not let me hear any more unfavorable comments, or I’ll team up with Callum and make you shut up.”

Upon hearing this, Callum burst out laughing. He was also surprised because he hadn’t known that Charles was a special-level alchemist.

Isolde, at the highest point in the sky, listened to the conversation between Callum, Everett, and Zane Du, a faint smile appearing on his face.

He wondered if these guys would be scared to death if they knew that Charles was the president of the Beast Master Guild, the Lord of the Tower, the strongest member of the Ten-Man Council, and a genius that his boss, Cuny, valued.

Ah, too bad, he wouldn’t be able to see such an interesting scene.

After all, he couldn’t actively bring it up himself.

Isolde shifted his gaze to the Ninth-level Beast Master from the Beast Master Guild. The Ninth-level Beast Master immediately flew over and cautiously asked, “My lord, is there something you need me to do?”

Isolde slowly replied, “Nothing urgent. I’m just curious—what plans do you have for the talented sixth-level Beast Masters from the Beast Master Guild?”

The Ninth-level Beast Master from the Beast Master Guild immediately laid out all the arrangements.

After hearing it, Isolde felt a little bored. The Ninth-level Beast Master hadn’t intentionally arranged for anyone to target Charles.

If he had, upon learning about Charles’ relationship with Cuny, he would have been shocked and panicked.

Isolde would have much preferred to see such a reaction.

Ah, what a dull task.

Isolde looked at the screen in the sky, observing how Charles was getting closer to the three sixth-level Beast Masters from the Ancient Academy. He wondered what kind of conflict might erupt between them later.

In the secret realm, Charles was slowly getting closer to the place where he could find the next treasure to raise Mia and Little Gold’s levels.
