No one understands lightning better than I do

On the way to the castle hall, Mike wasn't idle, pondering the key points of his conquest. 

Currently, his lineage was still human, yet he had the Exploration Rate of three factions. 

"Something's off. If there's a human faction, there must be humans in the castle, right?" 

Mike had been active in the castle for so long without seeing any human NPCs! 

No NPCs, yet a human faction existed—this didn't make sense. 

Mike was brought back to wait outside the hall he had been in before. 

A maid hurried out, looking flustered, and quickly said, "The Duke said to meet you after the banquet starts." 

"I have something very important to report to the Duke." 

With that, Mike stepped forward, heading into the hall. 

"Kill the intruder!"
