Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints-Chapter 493 : The Haunted Marsh!
"By the way, after Charles and I return from the Haunted Marsh, I won't be staying in Genosha for too long. There's a place I absolutely must go to. You should let Miles know and try to get as many benefits as possible during the time I'm still in Genosha," Ezra said casually.
He was the only person in all of Genosha who dared to call the emperor of Genosha by name. With the strength of a level nine Beast Master, worldly power could no longer restrain him. Ezra now held the same position Lucas once did any nation within the Abyssal Depths, regardless of size, had to treat him with respect. Smaller countries would even grovel before him.
"Charles, there's another matter," Jamie said suddenly, looking at Charles. "One of the ministers in Genosha, a man named Rowan, was captured by His Majesty after the royal secret realm ended. He's being publicly executed today."
Charles paused, confused. "Who is Rowan?"
Jamie elaborated, "The investigator you killed in Lsengard, named Carter he was one of Rowan's subordinates."
At the mention of Carter, Charles froze for a moment. He remembered the events in Lsengard and the last words Carter spoke to him:
"I'll be waiting in hell. Waiting for you, or for those people."
It seemed that before Charles could take action against the corrupt minister, Miles, the emperor of Genosha, had already moved.
"The emperor wants you to personally carry out the execution of Rowan," Jamie explained. "Doing so will enhance your authority as Genosha's Supervisor. No official will dare oppose you after that."
To Jamie's surprise, Charles showed no interest. He simply shook his head and replied, "Please thank His Majesty for the gesture, but I don't mind others targeting me, as long as they use their power correctly."
Jamie blinked, giving Charles an extra look of surprise.
After a brief farewell, Charles followed Ezra outside. Ezra manipulated his internal elemental energy, enveloping Charles completely, and then, with a slight lift of his head, he and Charles were instantly airborne, speeding toward their destination.
Some time later, at a city on the border of the Abyssal Depths and the Haunted Marsh, a man in a black cloak stood with a young man around 25 years old, about 1.8 meters tall, his face covered in stubble and his expression tired.
"You've got quite a few good things on you," Ezra's voice echoed. "This disguise, if a typical level nine Beast Master didn't look closely, they probably wouldn't be able to detect it."
The two people standing there were Ezra and Charles, who was disguised using the Beast Transformation Flesh.
"Heh heh, teacher, I'm not Charles anymore. My name is Chu Yan," Charles casually replied. He had decided on this name beforehand. Very few people knew about this identity, making it perfect for disguise.
"Alright, we've arrived. But before entering the Haunted Marsh, we need to wait. There's a barrier between the Abyssal Depths and the various major domains. It only opens at noon and midnight every day," Ezra explained briefly.
Upon hearing Ezra's words, Charles lifted his head and looked at the sky in the distance. In his eyes, there was nothing in the air there was no sign of any barrier.
At the same time, Charles felt a sense of curiosity. Why had the Haunted Marsh set up a barrier between it and the other major domains? Was it to restrict people from other domains from entering?
"Teacher, with your level nine Beast Master strength, you can't pass through the barrier?" Charles asked, curious.
Ezra glanced at Charles and answered, "I can, but level nine Beast Masters have the right to directly transmigrate through barriers. However, afterward, people from the Beast Master Guild would question and investigate you. It's a bit troublesome."
"There's a good guild ahead in the city. You can go check if they have any materials you might need."
Charles turned to look at Ezra and was slightly stunned. "Me? Just by myself?"
Ezra didn't respond verbally but instead demonstrated through action. His body slowly faded, leaving behind just one sentence: "At noon tomorrow, you can pass through the barrier into the Haunted Marsh. Don't stay too long."
Charles immediately understood. Teacher Ezra planned to send him alone to the city ahead and would meet him again tomorrow at noon.
"Is there something in the city that can help train me?" Charles looked at the city in the distance, took a deep breath, and with a burst of power in his legs, he didn't use any elemental energy. Instead, he relied on his physical speed, rushing forward like a car speeding down a highway, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Before long, Charles arrived at the city's entrance. A large sign hung above the city gate, with just two simple words: City of Harmony.
At the gate, there were two rows of Beast Master soldiers holding weapons. Most of them seemed to be level four and level five Beast Masters. The leader of the group, a captain, had an aura that subtly radiated the presence of a level six Beast Master.
"Even the Beast Master soldiers responsible for checking who comes and goes have level six strength. This place is not simple," Charles thought to himself.
He slowly approached the entrance of the gate, but before long, he was stopped by the nearby Beast Master soldiers.
"Good day, sir. This is a routine inspection. Please remove any items you have on you, including any storage tools. Don't worry, our inspection will be done under your full observation," one of the soldiers said in a polite tone.
Charles nodded. The important items on him were all stored in his Storage space, and the jet ring he wore only contained ordinary items and the black gold long knife he frequently used.
After the soldier briefly checked the things on Charles, he didn't say much and allowed him to enter the city.
As Charles passed through the city gates, he was greeted by a bustling metropolis, with towering skyscrapers everywhere and roads wide enough to fit eight lanes in one direction.
The sidewalks were filled with various Beast Masters, and Charles even saw several beings resembling Serpents humans with dog heads as their upper bodies.
"Dog headed people? Serpents?" Charles was a bit surprised. In Genosha Calivia, he rarely encountered races other than humans. The last time he saw such beings was when he encountered Aria's subordinates from the Serpent People. The thought of this brought the image of a young girl into his mind. He wondered how Aria had been recently.
"If I reach the rank of a level five Beast Master, maybe I can try to visit the Gaoshan nationality and the Serpent People's desert. Maybe I can ask Teacher Colton if he could give me the final Map Fragment in advance."
"To reassure Teacher Colton, I should also improve my alchemist level. I wonder how long it takes to advance from a special level alchemist to a master level alchemist."
As Charles observed his surroundings carefully, before he could act, someone approached him immediately.
It was a young girl who appeared to be around twelve years old. Her clothes were slightly faded, clearly having been washed many times, but there were no other stains, and they were quite clean.
"Sir, this is your first time in the City of Harmony, right? The City of Harmony is quite complicated, and if you want to adapt quickly to this city, it's best to find a local guide. Sir..." Before the girl could finish her sentence, a few adult men approached, all appearing to be Beast Masters.
"Get lost! Are you trying to steal customers again? Did the injuries from last time heal so quickly?" Three men, looking fierce and menacing, came over and yelled at the girl.
The young girl took a deep breath, trying to control her trembling body. She forced a smile onto her face and continued to speak to Charles:
"Sir, I've lived in the City of Harmony my whole life and I'm also a low level alchemist. If you need a guide, I can make sure you're satisfied!"
"Are you deaf? Get lost!"
"This isn't your territory! Didn't you hear what I said?" The insults echoed, and one of them even raised his arm, seemingly about to slap the young girl.
Charles immediately reached out and grabbed the man's arm. With a slight force, the man immediately winced in pain, his face contorted in discomfort.
"Bro, bro, I'm sorry, let go, please let go!" The voice pleaded.
Charles released his grip and looked at the three grown men, who appeared shocked. He spoke with irritation, "Three grown men bullying a young girl, what kind of men are you?"

"Sir, you don't understand. This girl's been messing with market prices. Hiring her as a guide is half the price of what we charge. Who can tolerate that?" One of them explained.
Before he could finish, the young girl spoke up, "I need the money, and besides, you already hit me. I didn't fight back or call the authorities. I don't owe you anything."
Her expression was unusually determined, with no sign of pain. Charles took a closer look and noticed there were indeed bruises on her arms.
"She's already said that. Are you still going to keep pestering her?" Charles's tone turned cold.
The three men, sensing the shift, decided not to argue further and slunk away. However, one of them turned back before leaving, as if to remember Charles's face.
"You're the one. I'm new to the City of Harmony and need a competent guide," Charles said simply, not even asking about the price, and then he stepped forward.
The young girl's eyes lit up upon hearing his words. She quickly followed Charles's pace, and together they walked deeper into the City of Harmony.
