It was during their expedition from the empire to the Syndicate. -l-em,py-r

As they passed through a small country, a plague had broken out there.

Initially, he didn\'t think much of it. He and the imperial army had all received the "Radiance" blessing. The plagues that were most difficult and painful for civilians and other countries were mostly immune to them.

So at that time, he did not order the army to bypass the country, but continued to advance along the planned route.

As a result, unexpectedly, after only half a day, he began to feel unwell. The other imperial soldiers even experienced severe vomiting, and some fell unconscious with brown spots all over their bodies.

This frightened Olba at the time. What a terrifying plague this was, that it could penetrate the "blessing" on their bodies and infect them with the disease.

Olba immediately stopped the advance and set up camp. The magic oil mines of the Syndicate were important, but his own health and safety were obviously more crucial.

Afterwards, the Seventh Prince summoned the army physicians and priests, trying various means to cure the plague. However, no matter how hard they tried, it was to no avail, and their bodies became weaker.

Olba became anxious. Just as the Seventh Prince was gritting his teeth, preparing to shamefully return directly to the empire to treat this damn strange plague, they happened to hear that in this small country, there was a physician who had been doing good deeds and curing the plague. So the Seventh Prince, with a try-it-and-see attitude, immediately sent someone to find this physician.

That\'s right, it was his current teacher, Leon.

This physician Leon, with his superb medical skills, solved the plague that had troubled them for days in just two or three hours, allowing the entire imperial army to recover and regain their health.

The Seventh Prince was certain at that time that Leon was no ordinary man.

Later, when he tentatively communicated more with Leon, he discovered that this man was not just a physician, but a man of great learning, seemingly proficient in all fields.

Just from chatting for a few sentences, Olba felt he had benefited greatly. Some difficult bottlenecks in his techniques seemed to show signs of sudden enlightenment and loosening.

So he immediately extended an olive branch to Leon, and later even directly revealed his noble identity as the Seventh Prince of the empire. However, Leon still refused him, unwilling to get involved in the conflicts.

Olba was not angry with Leon because of this. Instead, he was even more attracted and moved by Leon\'s indifference to fame and fortune.

After all, he had seen too many people desperately wanting to join the empire. Many so-called eminent figures, upon hearing his princely identity, wished they could immediately turn into tail-wagging dogs.

But he found none of this in Leon. This was not something that could be faked. Olba was very confident in his ability to judge people. He became more and more convinced of Leon\'s identity as a hidden sage.

To a true sage, Olba immediately chose to put aside his status. Even disregarding the dissuasion of other attendants, he decided to continue stationing the army and visit Leon\'s "thatched cottage" again and again, just to invite the sage to come out of seclusion, hoping Leon would join his team.

After visiting three times like this, Leon finally seemed to be moved by his persistence and sincerity, and agreed to become his teacher to help him on his future conquests.

The sound of approaching hoofbeats from outside the war chariot pulled Olba\'s thoughts back. The Seventh Prince tidied up his appearance slightly. Then, the chariot door was pushed open, and in walked a well-dressed man with a very refined demeanor.

"Teacher Leon, I apologize for disturbing you." Olba immediately got up from his seat and went to receive Leon as he entered the war chariot, showing the respect this prince had for Leon.

After inviting Leon to take a seat, Olba personally told Leon about the information the Bloody Hand had mentioned earlier regarding the "ruins" and "dungeons" that had appeared in the Syndicate, and then looked at him inquiringly.

"Teacher Leon, what do you think of these ruins? Could they be the magic oil mines we\'re looking for?"

Instead of answering directly, Leon paused for a few moments, then reached out to the side and probed the air. The space there instantly distorted slightly, forming a dimensional pocket for storage. Leon took out a map from it and spread it out in front of the Seventh Prince.

Before Leon even said anything, just this one move of using spatial magic had already secretly shocked Olba and the three imperial hunters inside the war chariot. Spatial magic was extremely rare, and in the empire, those who could use it were probably few and far between.

"Prince, from the looks of the map, although the Syndicate is all desert, there are still many possibilities in the underground spaces. We may have always overlooked further excavation and exploration of the Syndicate\'s depths because of the yellow sand on its surface."

"Recently, the oases in the Syndicate have been disappearing one after another. Perhaps it\'s because geological changes are occurring, and the movement of the land has caused some things that were originally deep underground to surface. I think this principle should apply to both the ruins and dungeons, as well as the magic oil mines you\'re looking for."

After hearing Leon\'s explanation, the Seventh Prince nodded repeatedly. It indeed made sense and was well-reasoned. This way, everything could be explained.

As expected of a sage, just based on a map and some bits of information, he could immediately get to the essence of the matter.

Since that was the case, I have nothing to hesitate about.

Olba immediately ordered the troops to change direction and advance at full speed towards the location of the ruins.
