Michael frowned deeply when he finished digesting the information and memories of Mr. Klein. 

All he got to know was basic information about the Sacred Desert, and that the hidden region couldn't be accessed anymore. Mr. Klein was familiar with a few human adventurers who had been spending the last few years in the hidden region. They had almost been thrown out of the Origin Expanse after losing their territories, only to be picked up by Hiro Zan and the unknown mastermind, who nurtured them into loyal underlings.

The human adventurers in the Sacred Desert died according to their broken Lord IDs, which Mr. Klein got to know in the same period when the government's AI sent Michael a message about Danny's death.

Michael wasn't a genius but he could put two and two together.
