Chapter 379: Pleater’s Discovery

First elder Brighton bade farewell to the old palace master and went to the dungeon of the Salko Temple.

When the guards saw the first elder coming, they did not dare to stop him at all. They opened the door for the first elder and let him in.

The dungeon of the Salko Temple was divided into seven levels. Each level was different from the others.

The higher the level of the strange creature, the deeper they were locked up. Grand elder Brighton soon arrived at the fourth level underground.

This level was full of strange creatures , and there were hundreds of cells.

All of them were A+ rank strange creatures.

“Let me out!”

“I don’t want to be trapped in this small prison!”

“Please, let me go!”

“When I come out, I will kill all of you!”

…

The first elder did not care about the curses and pleas in the prison. He came in front of Birch.

“Birch, there is something that needs you to solve.”

Birch did not care about Brighton at all. He had once competed with Brighton for the position of the temple master of Salko Temple.

Unfortunately, Birch failed, but he was not willing to lose. He had always thought that Brighton had cheated.

In fact, Birch did not know that it was impossible for him to become the temple master.

Birch was the disciple of the ancient summoning mages. They had joined the Salko Temple three thousand years ago.

On the surface, they were highly valued, but in fact, they were watched everywhere. No one knew better than the Salko Temple how powerful these summoning mages were.

As time went by, the summoning mages gradually became loyal to the Salko Temple.

Birch was one of the best among the summoning mages. He was a summoning mage who had advanced to S rank.

He was full of confidence to compete for the position of the temple master of the Salko Temple, but he was doused with cold water.

Even though he had advanced to S rank, he was still an outsider. Birch had always thought so.

“Birch, I know that you are unhappy. You are still brooding over what happened back then.”

“If you want the position of the temple master, I will give it to you right now!”

A glimmer of light appeared in Birch’s eyes. He looked at Brighton and said, “who cares about this temple master? I’m not going back to be the temple master!”

“All i care about is improving my own strength!”

Brighton was stunned for a moment. He knew that Birch had been babbling about the position of the temple master. Why had it suddenly changed?

It seemed that the old temple master’s had better vision!

“There was an accident in the ghost lair. Do you know about this?”

Birch smiled contemptuously. Of course, he knew about the ghost lair. In fact, he had been studying the ghost altar. He deeply admired the ancient summoning mages.

How could they think of such a genius idea? Every time he studied the ghost altar, Birch felt that he had gained something.

Birch pointed to a miniature ghost altar in the middle of the fourth floor of the dungeon and said, “see it? Brighton, this is the altar. It is connected to the altar in the ghost lair. If anything happens to the altar in the ghost lair, this miniature altar will immediately sound the alarm!”

Brighton was not a summoning magician, so he did not know much about the ghost altar.

Since Birch said so, Brighton did not mind learning more about it.

“A month ago, the miniature altar sent out an alarm. I knew that something had happened in the ghost lair.”

“I already sent Pleater to the ghost altar yesterday to investigate the situation. You don’t have to worry.”

“I reckon that the ghost altar has been in disrepair for a long time and that something has happened. At the same time, I’ve also arranged for five summoning mages to go with him. I reckon there won’t be any big problems!”

“For thousands of years, every one to two hundred years, the ghost altar will send out an alarm. Basically, it’s the ghost altar’s magic array. It needs to be reinforced.”

After thousands of years of peace, the accumulated inertia was quite strong.

Brighton frowned. He was a little unhappy.

What a joke. Most of the time, he was careless and his opponent turned the tables.

Back then, he had taken advantage of Birch’s carelessness and successfully turned the tables, taking the position of the temple master in one fell swoop.

Birch, who was originally the most favored, left the scene dejectedly.

Brighton knew Birch’s personality. He was not suitable to be the leader of a sect in the Salko Temple.

The old temple master also knew that Birch was not suitable to be the leader of a sect! Only Birch himself did not know that he was not suitable to be the leader of the Salko Temple.

“Birch, it was the old temple master who specifically asked you to go to the ghost lair. He felt that it was very necessary for you to go.”

In the Salko Temple, their old temple master was their god, their legend.

Birch also worshipped the old temple master. Since the old temple master had spoken, there was no reason for Birch not to go.

“Sure!”

Beecher did not say much, but his heart was extremely excited. He felt that the old temple master still remembered him.

He wanted to complete this mission perfectly. When the time came, he would propose to the old temple master to become the temple master of Salko Temple.

“Birch, take Graham and his battle team with you.”

“This is an elite team. They will be of great help to you.”

Hearing that it was Graham’s team, Beecher did not refuse. He knew about Graham.

Graham might even become the next temple master. Birch was deeply jealous of Graham. He wanted to find an opportunity to kill Graham so that the strongest person in the temple would most likely be the successor.

“Graham and his team are very outstanding. I like them very much!”

Birch could not wait to go to the ghost lair. It was time to let those shameful strange creatures see who was their master.

Two days later, Birch took Graham and set off. They went to the ghost lair together. Before Birch and Graham arrived, Pleater had already arrived at the entrance of the ghost lair!

Pleater was quite familiar with the ghost lair. When he was young, his master had brought him here.

At that time, his master had easily subdued an A+ rank ghost strange creature. Although the strange creature was at A+ rank, it did not have the corresponding combat strength.

At that time, the young Pleater was very curious as to why these strange creatures were so weak.

He asked his master curiously, but his master did not care about his question.

It was just a pig, what was the point of having such strong combat strength? This was Pleater’s master’s answer.

From then on, he remembered that the strange creatures here were not strong. He kept them for the sake of harvesting them.

Pleater led the battle team into the ghost lair. He advanced in the cavern, but to his surprise, he did not see a single ghost.

He felt that it was very strange. Where were all the strange creatures?

He kept walking until he saw something. He turned pale with fright!
