Global Wasteland: I Obtained A Top Tier Shelter-Chapter 753 - 500: The Ultimate Mystery

At this moment.

Lin Yue felt he was infinitely close to that "ultimate" which would unravel all mysteries.

From the mouth of the elderly Wolf-headed Man, the history of the Wolf-headed Men was recounted in detail, and their nearly millennia-long conflict with the Lizardmen seemed to persist until a hundred years ago.

Until a century ago, when they encountered humans and many other humanoid creatures, their civilization once again faced a significant decline.

Finally, their descendants came to this secluded and vast valley, barely surviving, recuperating, and ultimately surviving.

Here, they established over six hundred cities, forming a loose confederation, with technology reminiscent of medieval Earth, and they even controlled cannons for combat.

They were continuously building up their strength, hoping one day to break out of this valley.

Then, to reclaim their lost treasures—the enormous sapphire ores—and reoccupy the entire world.

"Bai, then ask them, what is the matter with this ring?" Lin Yue picked up the Wolf Head Ring again, the sapphire on it shining with the same brilliance as the sapphire ore he held in his hand.

Could it be...

"Master, the ring is from the ore, cut from a small piece, then crafted. The Authority Ring represents royalty, assembling twelve would mean commanding all Wolf-headed Men, and they will pledge their utmost allegiance."

After communicating once more with the elderly Wolf-headed Man, who seemed ready to depart this world at any moment, Bai got the answer Lin Yue sought.

As expected.

He picked up the ring in his hand again, examining it closely before his eyes.

The cut shape of the final sapphire on the wolf seemed to align with the corner shape of the ore.

That proved that this piece of ore should indeed have belonged to the Wolf-headed Men, just as the elderly Wolf-headed Man said.

Wolf-headed Men’s... twelve Authority Rings.

Once all the Authority Rings are collected, driving all the Wolf-headed Men to serve him would become a reality.

Then...

"Bai, are the other rings in the cities of the various Wolf-headed Men? Are they held by the leaders of each Wolf-headed Man?"

Lin Yue suddenly became interested in this.

The number of Wolf-headed Men wouldn’t be small.

If he had this group of fearless fighters responsible for eliminating large numbers of Lizardmen, it seemed to be the best solution to solve the problem.

"Master, there are only ten Authority Rings held by the various Wolf-headed Man leaders. The whereabouts of the remaining two are unknown. However, it is said that once ten Authority Rings are collected, clues to the remaining two will emerge."

Bai’s words were getting smoother and smoother...

Lin Yue couldn’t help but marvel.

Indeed, such a long sentence, yet Bai recited and translated it effortlessly, and it was getting more and more fluent.

However, he did obtain useful information.

After collecting ten Authority Rings, he would get a clue regarding the vital information of the remaining two Authority Rings.

"Who would have thought, the Wolf-headed Men are like riddlers themselves. Couldn’t they just keep all the Authority Rings together?" Lin Yue felt like there were tasks to do now.

"Master, of the remaining eight Authority Rings, one is expected to arrive tomorrow. Also, if the Master retrieves the gems, they will have the same function." Bai got some more information and translated it again.

So that’s how it is.

Lin Yue roughly understood what was going on regarding the Authority Rings.

In short, even if he could quickly conquer at least 450 of the remaining cities out of the 600 or so Wolf-headed Man settlements, he would collect ten Authority Rings. Then, all that remains is to find the last two or obtain two similar gems, and the Wolf-headed Men will also follow his command.

This process shouldn’t be lengthy.

However, Lin Yue’s inquiries didn’t end there.

He saw the elderly leader of the Wolf-headed Men had woken up.

It was time to ask him another question he was curious about.

"Bai, ask if the Wolf-headed Men have any so-called ’system’ in their minds? What about Storage Space?" Lin Yue was quite intrigued by this aspect. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Are humans truly the most unique?

At least the Lizardmen don’t seem to have a system, much less Storage Space.

Otherwise, the capacity of his Storage Space would have reached hundreds of thousands of cubic meters by now.

"Master, there is no so-called system, and the Wolf-headed Men don’t have storage spaces either. The Wolf-headed Men only have their existing civilization, constantly exploring."

Bai said this while looking at the elderly Wolf-headed Man who had come over.

The white-haired leader was now breathing heavily, taking in little air but exhaling more.

Seeing that, he probably didn’t have much longer to live.

He seemed to be muttering something, and Bai listened quietly without interruption.

"Master, he says he wants to touch the sapphire once more."

Lin Yue nodded.

This was something he could do.

Especially since the other seemed on the brink of death, he probably couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Lin Yue handed the sapphire ore to Bai, and Bai placed the sapphire ore in front of the elderly Wolf-headed Man.

The elderly Wolf-headed Man, as if experiencing a moment of resurgence, suddenly became energized. His trembling arms shook continuously, his paw reaching out to touch the sapphire.
