When the time comes, they will use this to bargain with the Crown Prince, whether it's raising the price of raw materials or investing in the fertilizer business in the Northwest, all of which will bring them huge benefits.

This political struggle is not only a contest between them and the Crown Prince, but also a necessary means for them to safeguard their own interests.

The night deepens, but the conspiracy within Duke Madde's mansion continues. These nobles, each with their own hidden agendas, are united for a common goal.

Once they locked onto their prey, they would cling like a leech, following closely until the prey surrendered.

And at this moment, those nobles who thought they were acting secretly were actually being monitored by the Shadow Guards.

In the secret room, under the dim light, the Shadow Guard stood quietly to the side, the crystal ball in his hand flickering with a ghostly light, silently recording everything that happened here.

When Soren took the magic crystal ball, he slowly opened his palm, letting the crystal ball float in the air. The images inside the ball began to replay, like a miniature stage, recreating the scenes in the secret room.

The corners of Soren's mouth slowly turned up, and a playful smile bloomed on his face.

Jennifer, who was beside him, had curiosity and inquiry flashing in her eyes: "My dear, what makes you so happy?"

Jennifer looked up, meeting Soren's gaze, and she saw the undisguised excitement in his eyes.

At this moment, Soren suddenly reached out and pulled Jennifer tightly into his arms, his laughter low and magnetic: "Found an opportunity to make a fortune?"

Jennifer nodded lightly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation for the future.

Soren's smile became even brighter.

As the first ray of dawn pierced through the clouds, dyeing the sky with a faint golden hue, Soren had already awakened from his sleep. He quickly packed his bags and handed over the next task to Jennifer.

Formulating new countermeasures against the old nobles was not an easy task, but he knew that Jennifer was equally capable of handling it.

After finishing his instructions, Soren led Hiltin and Anka and resolutely embarked on the journey to the newly discovered underground labyrinth thirty kilometers outside the city of Fulga.

That labyrinth was called the Norahan Labyrinth.

The reason why Soren was so eager to explore this labyrinth was because he knew that in the near future,

this labyrinth would produce an extremely magical material.

This material seemed unremarkable at first, but as time went by, people discovered that it had an incredible auxiliary effect on cultivation, and it had absolutely no side effects.

This discovery made the Norahan Labyrinth the focus of contention for all cultivators and forces.

Soren knew clearly that this magical material would become the key for him to lead the Allied Forces of the Northwest during the future uprising.

It was because of this material that their number of transcendents could far exceed other allied forces, making them the leaders of the rebel army.

Soren quietly arrived at the mysterious Norahan Labyrinth. The purpose of his trip was to secretly explore and master this labyrinth, for which he deliberately concealed his true identity.

He originally thought that his actions were fast and secret enough, but when he arrived at the entrance of the labyrinth, the scene before him shocked him.

Before the towering stone gate of the Norahan Labyrinth, many adventurers had already gathered, either whispering to each other or pondering the secrets of the labyrinth alone.

Outside the crowd, a small market had even formed, with stalls filled with various essential items for exploration.

"Come on, come on, take a look at the three treasures of labyrinth exploration: the luminous crystal ball, the exploration scroll, and the beginner healing potion!" The hawkers' shouts rose and fell, attracting passing adventurers.

Soren was immersed in this lively atmosphere.

Suddenly, a group of knights in heavy armor blocked his way. They stood majestically in front of the labyrinth gate,

their eyes like torches.

"If you want to enter the labyrinth, you must pay 1 gold coin," the leader of the knights said coldly.

Soren frowned slightly, he did not expect that there would be such a rule here.

He looked around and found that other adventurers were silently paying the gold coins and then stepping into the labyrinth.

"What? The labyrinth has just opened, why should we give you money?" A middle-aged man with a full beard shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

Soren thought to himself that what the bearded man said was not unreasonable.

Under the territory of the empire, any underground labyrinth did not belong to anyone, but was the public property of the empire, and even the nobles high above had no right to take it for themselves.

The underground labyrinth seemed to have life, releasing negative energy at all times, and breeding various forms of monsters.

These monsters roamed in the underground world, with a bloodthirsty desire, and as the labyrinth reached its limit, these monsters would also rush out of the labyrinth and endanger the area.

"Which noble are you loyal to?" Soren asked calmly.

He had great ambitions and intended to make full use of the magical materials in the underground labyrinth, rather than seeking personal gain, so he would never take any improper means.

The heavily armored knight glanced at Soren contemptuously. He looked down at this mysterious figure in a cloak, his tone full of disdain: "What right do you, a sneaking passerby, have to question me? Either hand over the money, or get lost!"

Hiltin and Anka heard this and immediately stepped forward, seemingly intending to fight the other party.

The heavily armored knight laughed mockingly when he saw this: "Oh, you want to fight? You adventurers, like rats, drill wherever there is an underground labyrinth. I'm standing here, try it if you dare!"

Soren quickly reached out and stopped Hiltin and Anka, who were about to act impulsively. His eyes flashed with calmness and restraint, signaling them to stand still for the time being.

The heavily armored knight arrogantly lifted his mask, revealing a face full of provocation and disdain.

He spat fiercely at Soren, as if testing Soren's bottom line of patience.

"Hmph, want to pass? If you don't dare, then pay the money, or go back!" The heavily armored knight's tone was extremely arrogant, as if the whole world was at his feet.

Soren was stunned. Since he had transmigrated, no one had ever dared to treat him with such an impolite attitude.

A trace of astonishment flashed across his face, but it was quickly replaced by an indescribable anger.
