‘Mystic City in the Northwest?’
Philip trembled when favonovel.com heard this name. He looked at Fennel in bafflement and asked, “What is this place? In today’s information technology age, are there still places that are not displayed on maps or known to the world?”
Fennel shook his head, his face getting more serious by the minute. He said, “You misunderstood. It’s not that this place is not known to the world, but that the people who know this place are not ordinary people of the secular world. The reason it’s not shown on the map or marked out is due to human doings. To a certain extent, every country has places that they don’t want outsiders to know about. Take this place, for instance. It’s divided into many districts with many bases for secret research, which are confidential and not marked on the map.”
Philip nodded and more or less understood Fennel’s meaning. He continued to ask, “Then what exactly is this Mystic City of the Northwest?”
Fennel sighed and said, “I don’t really know much about this place. I just entered that place by chance once. The reason they dared to use this name is due to the masses of people from all over the world. They’re not ordinary people but mostly supernatural beings and disciples.”
“It’s a gathering place for criminals and S-class fugitives wanted by various countries. There are no rules to speak of, only strength. The strong can only survive with their own two fists. Moreover, that place is not the flashy urban landscape we see now but is located in a mountainous desert area. It’s relatively poor and backward, subject to sandstorms all year round. The location is not particularly easy to find and requires a certain guide to bring others in.”
By the time Fennel finished speaking, Philip’s face was as dark as it could be. He asked, “Then what do you think the Lovelace family is doing there? Or rather, is the Lovelace family the boss behind this Mystic City?”
Fennel shook his head gravely and said, “I’m not so sure about this, but since Georgina has locked the position, we need to take a look. After all, no matter what, it’s a chance to restore Wynn’s memory. Besides, I think you need to know more about this place. Maybe it will come in handy for you in the future. If we happen to run into someone from the Lovelace family, we can kill three birds with one stone.”
Philip nodded and understood what Fennel was trying to say. He looked at the coordinates displayed on the computer screen and asked, “Is Mystic City under the jurisdiction of the Nonagon and the Supernatural Bureau?”
Fennel shook his head and said, “No. This place is completely ungoverned. Only the mayor they elected has the right to run it. Even the Nonagon and the Supernatural Bureau need to obtain the consent of the mayor to enter that place. By the way, that mayor is not an ordinary person. If we go there, we mustn’t mess with that person.”
“What do you mean?” Philip frowned and asked.
Fennel said, “That person is very powerful. You’ll know when you meet them.”
While Fennel and Philip were chatting about Mystic City, Georgina suddenly exclaimed. She quickly tapped on the computer and said, “Oops! They found our location!”
Looking at the red light flashing on the screen, Philip and Fennel were solemn.
“What’s going on?” Fennel asked.
Georgina quickly replied, “The other party set up a tracking program on the channel where I exited the server and firewall. It has locked onto our location.”
After saying that, Georgina looked at Fennel with a guilty face and said, “Lord Apollo, I screwed up.”
