Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 234 --Whitemist Town — What Caused It?

The moment Jester Tycoon heard those words, a flash of delight immediately passed through his eyes.

In truth, one major reason he had been constantly currying favor with Caelan and the others was that he hoped Caelan would put in a good word for him before the Lord of Abyss.

What Caelan did not know was that the Lord of Abyss held an exceedingly exalted position within the abyss. Under normal circumstances, even the seven Abyssal Overseers themselves had no right to seek an audience unless they had first been summoned by the Lord of Abyss.

So if Caelan truly spoke well of Jester Tycoon before the Lord of Abyss, the benefits it could bring would be endless.

"Praise be to you, great Lord Caelan. To receive your favor is truly my good fortune. If you have any need at all, please contact me at any time!"

Caelan nodded lightly. Meanwhile, when Evelyn saw this scene, she was completely stunned.

She had never expected Caelan to have this side to him.

Originally, Evelyn had assumed that with Caelan’s personality, he would not understand the subtleties of human dealings. Yet to her surprise, he had effortlessly grasped Jester Tycoon’s mindset and played right into it.

So Caelan had this side too...

And somehow, it felt a little adorable?

Caelan did not linger any longer. He simply left the palace with Evelyn.

According to the information provided by Supreme Staff, they headed straight toward one of the most famous forbidden regions in the abyss—

Divine Tomb.

Of course, the Divine Tomb here was not literally the grave of a true god. It was only said that a god had once fallen there, and for that reason, many powerful beings had chosen it as their final resting place.

Thus, within the Divine Tomb, not only were there powerful guardian spirits, but also countless corpses of mighty experts and the burial treasures they had left behind.

Any funerary object that had remained preserved in the Divine Tomb to this day would be an extraordinarily precious treasure if taken out at random.

And yet, over the years, very few awakeners had ever truly managed to step into the Divine Tomb.

The main reason was that the Divine Tomb was not a simple single-layer mausoleum. Instead, it was divided into an inner tomb and an outer tomb.

According to ancient legend, only by stepping into both the inner and outer tombs at the same time could one truly enter the Divine Tomb.

For hundreds and thousands of years, countless awakeners had tried to uncover the secrets of the Divine Tomb, but without exception, they had all returned empty-handed.

Moreover, the guardian spirits of the Divine Tomb were extremely powerful and elusive. A single careless step could cost one’s life.

With such a low risk-to-reward ratio, many awakeners exploring the abyss had, intentionally or not, gradually chosen to ignore the existence of the Divine Tomb.

As time passed, it became one of the few true forbidden zones in the abyss.

Because Evelyn was with him this time, Caelan did not choose to use [Flashstep], instead traveling together with her.

This operation was entirely arranged by Supreme Staff from start to finish.

And it was obvious that Supreme Staff thoroughly enjoyed this sense of freedom, so it eagerly flew ahead to lead the way.

"You two, hurry up! This is treasure of this caliber, and you’re not anxious at all!"

"Hey, hey, hey! You’re flying too fast! Slow down—I feel like I’m about to fall behind!"

"Wait a second! I need to judge the terrain first, so don’t charge ahead so fast!"

Supreme Staff kept muttering nonstop, yet at the same time, it clearly seemed to be enjoying the whole process immensely.

However, after drawing near the Divine Tomb, it ran into a bit of trouble. It began circling constantly around the forbidden grounds of the Divine Tomb, but no matter what, it could not find the true entrance.

Caelan narrowed his eyes and simultaneously activated his [Eye of Insight].

Even so, he still failed to locate the actual entrance to the Divine Tomb.

But Caelan was not entirely without gains.

Because not far away, he noticed that a small town was giving off an aura very similar to that of the Divine Tomb.

At almost the exact same moment, Supreme Staff began bobbing excitedly up and down.

"Found it—it’s in that town!"

Caelan was slightly startled, then could not help glancing at Supreme Staff again.

It seemed that Senior Supreme Staff possessed some sort of detection method that Caelan himself did not understand.

But after a moment’s thought, Caelan felt that this was perfectly normal.

After all, Supreme Staff’s very existence revolved around releasing all kinds of skills.

So it was only natural that Volibel, back in the day, had possessed investigative-type skills as well.

"Let’s go check it out."

After Evelyn spoke, she took the initiative to grab Caelan and headed with him toward that small town.

But only after they approached it did they notice how unusual the place was.

The entire interior of the town seemed to be shrouded in white mist.

Yet the moment Caelan and the others passed through that white mist, they found bright, clear skies overhead!

As for the white mist from before, it vanished completely in an instant without a trace.

If not for the fact that Caelan was certain his memory could not possibly be wrong, he might even have suspected he had remembered it incorrectly.

Evelyn, too, frowned slightly.

"How strange. Where did the white mist from just now go? Why did it disappear?"

"Could it be some kind of spatial issue?"

Caelan was not entirely sure, since he himself did not know much about spatial phenomena.

But Supreme Staff immediately rejected that answer without hesitation.

"No. There is nothing wrong with the space here. I haven’t detected any spatial fluctuations at all."

At Supreme Staff’s words, both Caelan and Evelyn grew visibly more serious.

If it had been a spatial issue—some kind of layered space, for example—then the strangeness of the white mist could at least have been explained.

But the problem was, if it was not caused by space, then what exactly had created that white mist?

Clearly, this defied common sense.

Just then, someone in the town seemed to have noticed Caelan and the others’ arrival. And after seeing the bookmarks they were carrying, that person’s expression grew even more respectful.

"Honored guests, you must be Lord Caelan and Miss Evelyn, correct?"

"I am Edward, the mayor of Whitemist Town. It is an honor to be of service to you both."

The mayor of Whitemist Town was a tall and cold-looking Shadow Fiend.

Under normal circumstances, the Shadow Fiend race was known for its aloofness. They were arrogant by nature and looked down on others. Unless they encountered someone they truly admired, they generally had no idea how to show respect.

And yet, the mayor of Whitemist Town before them was displaying an extraordinarily warm attitude, one that formed a striking contrast with the typical traits of his race.

Such a welcoming Shadow Fiend left even Evelyn momentarily unable to react.

Caelan, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm. In the depths of his eyes, there was even a trace of vigilance.

"Mayor Edward, how did you recognize us?"

Edward immediately revealed a fawning smile and hastily explained,

"Lord Caelan, you may not know this, but from the moment you arrived in Whitemist Town, I had already understood that you had come in person."

"If I’m not mistaken, you should be carrying Lord Tycoon’s bookmark, correct?"
