Chapter 239: The Hunter Who Spent All Day Hunting Geese Is Finally Blinded by a Goose

They had all been scared by the Undead mage.

Little did they know, this time there really was nothing, and the Undead mage was being sincere for once, only to be met with everyone's suspicion.

It was just like someone who tells lies too often; even when they finally tell the truth, it is still taken as a lie.

The story of the boy who cried wolf had been told so many times that everyone was immune to it.

At this moment, the Undead mage grew anxious.

"I know what you are all worried about."

"But if you miss this village, you won't find this shop."

The Undead mage repeated this one last time.

Bianda let out a cold sneer.

"Missing it is your loss; for us, it is basically dispensable."

"Let's talk about your sincerity first."

"We cannot let our subordinates go to their deaths just based on some information."

"We are not experts at playing with corpses like you, who possess countless cannon fodder under your command."

"Our subordinates are flesh and blood; we would be heartbroken if even one of them died."

Bianda put on an expression of cherishing her own feathers, but in reality, she was looking to make an exorbitant demand.

"That's right, if you want us to provide manpower and effort, bring out real gold and silver to hire us."

"Otherwise, who would believe what you say? Your credibility has completely collapsed."

"In front of us, you no longer have any credit."

Even the Magic Sword warrior did not quite believe the Undead mage's words.

"Right, this kind of inheritance is not necessary for us; at most, it is just icing on the cake."

"Or, you could also cooperate with that bunch of lunatics from the Resurrection Society."

"And help them retrieve the Blood Saint's inheritance while you're at it."

"I reckon they would thank your ancestors for eighteen generations."

The Three Sages sneered.

The Undead mage's entire body of bones was filled with resistance; when the Resurrection Society was mentioned, it almost jumped up.

"I would never communicate with those guys who have no sense of beauty and only know how to play with corpses and bones."

The other three high-level members of the Gospel Society twitched their faces simultaneously; was it not talking about itself?

"I am currently lacking someone skilled in infiltration."

"The Bone Shadow Demon under my command has decent strength, but it radiates a thick aura of the Undead; once it enters any city in the Yan Country, it will likely be discovered very quickly."

Most of the Undead mage's subordinates were not skilled at concealing their Undead aura.

And those who were skilled at concealing their aura had already been sent by the Undead mage to carry out secret missions.

That was why the Undead mage was in such a difficult position, because it had no suitable personnel on hand.

"Let me be frank and open."

"This time, my treasure told me that the Blood Saint's inheritance will appear at the Dark Auction House."

After hearing what the Undead mage said, Bianda sneered and said: "Appearing at the Dark Auction House, doesn't that just suit your intentions?"

"Among the giants of the Gospel Society, you are the one who earns the most from making money off the dead."

"As long as you find the tombs of those imperial relatives and nobles, their burial goods are a considerable income."

"What's more, can't you send your skeleton army to surround the Dark Auction House?"

"Don't tell me you, the leader of the Gospel Society, don't even have that much courage?"

Bianda was clearly questioning the Undead mage's strength.

Could it be that the Undead mage's strength had greatly diminished after having its Tomb Whip snatched away?

Could she take the opportunity to annex the Undead mage's forces? Many thoughts flashed through Bianda's mind.

However, after thinking about it, Bianda gave up on this idea.

After all, the Undead mage was an expert at playing with corpses, and most of its subordinates were resurrected by the Undead mage.

They all regarded the Undead mage as an existence like an Ancestor.

A single word from the Undead mage was an absolute imperial decree.

At this moment, the Undead mage smiled awkwardly.

"If only it were that simple."

"The Dark Auction House has a major background."

"I cannot afford to offend its backers, and transactions at the Dark Auction House are not measured by worldly gold and silver; they require a large amount of heavenly treasures."

"And what I lack is exactly that; Undead-type heavenly treasures are useful to me, but they would be undervalued at the auction house."

"That is why I want to intercept that person before they put the Blood Saint's inheritance into the Dark Auction House."

"This is the reason why I want you to send people to help me search for it."

"This is the reward I am paying you in advance; even if the matter is not successful, it will not be returned."

The Undead mage tossed three colorful gemstones to the three of them.

Bianda used her small leather whip to coil up the gemstone, while the Magic Sword warrior flicked his sword tip to catch the gemstone in his hand.

As for the Three Sages, she used a cluster of starlight to imprison the gemstone.

She examined it closely within her eyes, which were as deep as starlight.

"A magic stone sealed with an eighth-rank spell?"

"What a grand gesture."

The Three Sages smiled as they collected the magic stone.

The Bianda girl gave a cold snort, crossed her arms, and her expression softened slightly.

As for the Magic Sword swordsman, he stood up and turned to leave; he had no suitable candidate on hand, and having already taken the benefits, there was naturally no reason to spit them back out.

The Necromancer felt as though he had spent his whole life hunting geese only to be blinded by one in the end.

Even a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes like the Magic Sword swordsman had learned how to swindle things from him.

Damn it! The Necromancer was so angry that all the bones in his body were clicking and clacking.

"I have someone here who is extremely skilled at shadow manipulation."

"His talent is Shadow Mastery; his younger brother betrayed me previously and joined the Resurrection Society." "So I have him imprisoned in an alternate dimension, killing Void Exotic Beasts."

"Let's give him a chance to redeem himself this time."

"Do you have any treasures that can detect the inheritance of the Blood Saint?"

"Bring them all out."

The Bianda girl grinned, her eyes filled with ill intent.

Once a treasure was in her hands, she naturally had no habit of spitting it back out.

The Necromancer was in a bit of a bind at this moment.

At this time, the Three Sages spoke: "Necromancer, just give the Fate Pointer to the Bianda girl."

"Rest assured, once we obtain this inheritance of the Blood Saint, we will share it publicly; you won't be left out."

"Although the Bianda girl doesn't get along with you, she still remains in alignment with us on matters of great principle."

"Right, Bianda girl?"

The Three Sages said with a smile.

The Bianda girl nodded: "That's right, Necromancer, don't be dawdling when I'm doing things for you; I can choose not to help you."

"At worst, I'll just return this magic stone to you."

The Bianda girl made a move to throw the magic stone back, and at this moment, the Necromancer waved his bone staff.

An object resembling a golden pointer appeared beside the Bianda girl.

"This is my treasure, remember to return it to me."

The Necromancer revealed an expression of heartache and pain.

"Fine, leave everything to me."

"Once this thing reaches me, it's mine."

The Bianda girl said with extreme arrogance, and she transformed into countless black shadows and vanished.

"Haha, that Fate Pointer should only have one last use remaining."

"It doesn't matter even if we give this thing to the Bianda girl."

"Necromancer, you don't seem to have suffered much of a loss."

After the Three Sages said this meaningfully, they vanished into mid-air.

At this moment, a look of wariness appeared in the Necromancer's eyes.

In truth, among the remaining three giants, the one he could see through the least was the Three Sages.

However, the Three Sages were also right; although the exterior of the Fate Pointer appeared intact, it was actually covered in cracks inside.

It only had one use left.

This was the backlash brought about by peeking into fate.

Ye Bai did not rest much; instead, taking advantage of the night, he left the house with the Space Pelican.

He changed his appearance and headed toward the Guishi in the Imperial Capital.

Between 2:00 and 3:00 AM was exactly when the Guishi opened.

In the Imperial Capital's Big Willow Tree Village, this place was originally a graveyard.

Numerous ghost fires usually floated about.

Ye Bai wore a paper-effigy mask, weaving through the desolate wilderness.

Using the big willow tree as a reference point, he arrived at an unnamed tombstone not far from the big willow tree.

Ye Bai tapped lightly on the blurred photograph on the tombstone, and he instantly arrived at the entrance of a bustling market.

Responsible for guarding the market gate were two paper figures with rouge painted on their cheeks.

After they saw Ye Bai intruding here, they flew out and blocked Ye Bai.

"Please present your passage permit."

"The Guishi only allows those who have received a passage permit to participate."

A terrifying pressure erupted from the paper figures, as if they would kill Ye Bai on the spot if he could not produce a passage permit.

Black currents of air spread from the paper figures and landed on Ye Bai.

At this moment, Ye Bai opened his Pet Beast Space and took out a box from inside, which contained exactly one million Alliance Coins.

"I need to buy a passage permit; I know you have them."

When the paper figures saw the Yan Kingdom Coins, they immediately retracted the terrifying aura on their bodies; they gave a sheepish smile, revealing a fawning expression.

"So it's a VIP; excuse us, we have offended the VIP."

The paper figure spread its hand, and an exquisitely crafted bronze plaque appeared.

At the same time, there were also one hundred copper coins.

"One million Alliance Coins can only buy a bronze passage permit, which allows you to tour most of the Guishi, and at the same time, you can rest for free until dawn at the largest Laifu Inn in the Guishi."

"Our black market does not accept real gold and silver."

"These one hundred ghost copper coins are the common currency of the Guishi."

"Above the Ghost Copper Coins are Ming Silver, and above the Ming Silver is Tomb Gold."

"1 Tomb Gold = 1,000 Ming Silver = 1,000,000 Ghost Copper Coins."

"Honored guest, please keep these safe."

"If you wish to exchange them for universal currency, you may go to the Silver Bank."

"The Silver Bank is a large building that looks very much like a copper coin."

The paper person reminded him.

Ye Bai put the copper coins away, and he immediately wanted to ask the paper person where there might be a place that sells Exotic Beasts.

Upon his asking, the paper person suddenly laughed.

"Honored guest, it is my fault for not explaining clearly."

"That road guide is a large map; you only need to probe the road guide with your spiritual power, and the image of the map will appear."

"Then, you tell the road guide where you want to go, and the road guide will naturally lead you to the place you wish to go."

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows. Is this an innovation of technology and ruthless skills? Begging for votes (End of this chapter)
