Xue Dili awoke to the first light of dawn, sitting up in bed, frowning as he glanced at the Qijela seeds currently controlled by numerous Sealing Techniques within the Magic Academy.
The Technique showed no changes, yet even in such a condition, he was pulled into the Black Mist Council.
Originally, the one expected to enter the council should have been Blington, but Xue Dili, who had never tasted the Divine Wood Fruit, was surprisingly deemed one of them and drawn in by the council.
In fact, that meeting didn't care whether the members were loyal because they knew well that anyone who consumed the Divine Wood Fruit would become addicted, like a rabid dog, and no one would forsake the enhancement and satisfaction it provided.
Consequently, no one would easily leave the Black Mist Council, whether it was to acquire intelligence from other civilizations or to trade for more materials needed to grow more Divine Wood. For those joining the organization, it was a rare fortune.
