Kara stretched languidly, her gaze drifting to Suek.

"Who said I was pretending to be asleep…"

Suek spread his hands. "I wasn't going to make you do anything, why the fright?"

Kara rolled her eyes at Suek. "I know you too well. You see me idle and immediately want to find something for me to do."

Suek's lips twitched. "Am I that kind of person…"

"You are."

Suek fell silent.

After a moment, Suek looked at Kara. "The shop looks pretty good now, right?"

Kara glanced at Suek. "Which aspect are you referring to?"

She then scoffed. "Back in the day, when I was the chief pharmacist of the Eldia Empire, a temporary potion room was more than ten times the size of your current shop. Every medicinal material you could possibly hear of in the entire world had to be present in my potion room."

"What's the big deal with your little setup?"

Suek was taken aback. "Alright, you should go back and rest."

Kara tilted her head and slowly headed down to the potion room.

Suek got up and went to the top floor.

Arriving at the top floor, Suek sat in a chair and looked out the window.

"Come out."

There was no movement.

Suek glanced around and spoke softly. "I don't want to say it a second time."

A gust of wind appeared.

Suek's eyes flickered. Magic surged forth, condensing into a large hand that rapidly shot towards the window.

A moment later, the magic hand returned.

Inside the hand, a person dressed in white was constantly writhing.

Suek scanned the figure and discovered that this person in white had no magic fluctuations at all.

Strange.

With Suek's sixth-tier, fifth-grade senses, almost no one could escape his perception.

However, he simply couldn't detect the presence of magic.

Suek didn't dare to approach. Instead, he took a few steps back, and the magic hand tore open the white-clothed person's garments.

The clothes were torn open.

Revealing a puppet.

At that moment, the puppet stopped moving and began to heat up rapidly.

Suek's eyes flashed. He instantly threw the puppet out the window.

Boom!

An explosion occurred.

Suek immediately went to the window.

He scanned the area.

The explosion was thorough, not even a single fragment remained.

The power of the explosion was considerable, at the peak of the fifth tier.

Any existence below that level would have been taken away with the puppet at the moment of the explosion.

The explosion also attracted the surrounding populace to gather.

Suek glanced at them and returned to his chair.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

Kara walked in.

"Thrown out of your room?"

Suek nodded, his eyes flickering uncertainly. "A puppet, I couldn't sense any magic fluctuations. I don't know who sent it."

Kara came to the window and reached out, grabbing at the air.

Instantly, a transparent figure was caught in her hand.

Suek was stunned and widened his eyes.

"What is that?!"

Kara brought the transparent figure in front of Suek.

Observing it up close, Suek saw that the phantom had a human-like shape, but without facial features.

Kara's expression was strange. "It's the Evil Puppet Sect!"

Evil Puppet Sect?

Suek looked at Kara in confusion.

Kara didn't speak, but instead uttered a strange syllable.

From outside the window, a black shadow rapidly flew in, so fast that even Suek couldn't see it clearly.

The black shadow came close and braked extremely fast.

Suek then saw clearly that the black shadow was none other than the raven puppet that was previously in front of Kara's potion shop.

After the raven puppet arrived, it directly pecked at the phantom in Kara's hand.

Kara released her hand.

The raven puppet directly pecked and devoured the phantom, then stood on Kara's shoulder, motionless, returning to a statue state.

Kara then spoke. "The Evil Puppet Sect is a group of evil cultists who are skilled at making and controlling puppets."

"They worship the Puppet God and the Ghost God, and their greatest pleasure is to imprison ghosts and evil spirits within the bodies of puppets, trying to allow the puppets to develop sentience and create life."

Suek was stunned. "That's possible?"

Kara pointed to the raven on her shoulder. "What Little Black just ate was a puppet spirit."

"A puppet spirit is the sentience born from a puppet."

"Initially, the Evil Puppet Sect's research direction was to put the souls of dead creatures into puppets to extend life, seeking to achieve a kind of immortality."

"But later, the people of the Evil Puppet Sect discovered that no matter how they sealed souls into puppets, it was impossible to maintain the soul's true self."

"As time passed, the souls sealed within the puppet bodies would become increasingly chaotic, filled with disorder, and would only destroy."

"Later, the Evil Puppet Sect changed its research direction and began to create puppets with a certain ability to think. This time, they succeeded."

"These puppets are also known as Evil Puppets."

After introducing the Evil Puppet Sect, Kara frowned slightly. "However, the puppet masters of the Evil Puppet Sect are not ordinary puppet masters. They only operate at the kingdom level and don't even look at backwater places like principalities."

"The appearance of an Evil Puppet means that the puppet master controlling it has also appeared here."

After speaking, Kara closed her eyes.

Suek felt an invisible wave sweep over him.

Realizing that this was Kara's perception, Suek was somewhat surprised.

Kara's perception was very thick compared to his own.

This was definitely not just because her level was higher than his.

After a moment, Kara opened her eyes, and a sharp light burst out from them.

"Found it!"

As soon as the words fell, Kara's figure instantly flew out.

Suek immediately followed.

Kara's speed was extremely fast, and Suek could only barely keep up.

More than ten seconds later, another aura appeared in the direction Kara was heading.

Suek knew that the main culprit had been found.

But this aura was not weak either. Although it didn't intend to stop and fight head-on, its flying speed was extremely fast.

It was so fast that Suek could only see a small dot, and it quickly disappeared from his sight.

Not only Suek, but Kara also lost track of it.

A moment later, Kara and Suek reunited.

"Not easy to deal with, it's a Class D Evil Puppet Master."

Class D?

Suek was puzzled.

Kara explained, "Evil Puppet Masters are another name for puppet masters within the Evil Puppet Sect.

The Evil Puppet Masters within the Evil Puppet Sect are divided into four levels, graded by A, B, C, and D, with D being the lowest and A being the highest."

"A Class D Evil Puppet Master's magic level is sixth tier, and their puppet master level is also sixth tier."

Hearing that the magic level was sixth tier, Suek didn't react much, but hearing that the puppet master level was also sixth tier, Suek was shocked.

What a terrifying force this was.

Just a lowest-level Class D Evil Puppet Master was a dual sixth-tier existence!

Kara saw the worry in Suek's eyes and shook her head. "Don't worry for now.

Evil Puppet Masters are very cunning. You destroyed one of his Evil Puppets, and he won't dare to act rashly."

Suek breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, Suek looked at Kara curiously.

"You know so much about the Evil Puppet Sect, have you fought them before?"

Kara's eyes flickered.

"I'm the chief pharmacist of the Empire, isn't it normal to know the details of a force?"

Suek hummed in acknowledgement. His intuition told him that this wasn't the most truthful answer.

However, this was Kara's little secret, so there was no need to ask so carefully.

But another new force had sprung up, making Suek feel that the changes in the situation were becoming more and more numerous.
