Chapter 3299

When Su Xiao received the commission to treat Brother Donkey, he knew something was wrong. At the time, he had two choices: play it safe and slowly arrange for the Sea God with Zuiyas and Wood, or make contact with the person plotting this and strive for a quick resolution.

It had been a while since any elimination notifications appeared; Crow Woman must have arrived. Given this, playing it safe was not a good choice.

Crow Woman had no grudge against Zuiyas or Wood and would only come to cause trouble for him, so Su Xiao took a different path and chose to treat Brother Donkey.

Brother Donkey was treated to death, which had now drawn out Conrad. This was an absolute local tyrant; at the current stage, the fact that the other party could wrestle with the Sea God was enough to show their power in the main city.

Cooperating with this local tyrant carried extremely high risks, but the benefits came quickly—for instance, Su Xiao no longer needed to go around treating people.

This also had its downsides. The "Evolutionary Eye Drops" he had reinforced using three Soul Crystals (Complete) via the 【Golden Scales】 were now useless. Man proposes, God disposes; despite being fully prepared, he had only made one house call, and he had even treated the patient to death.

"Two conditions."

Su Xiao would not cooperate with Conrad for no reason, and the other party's desire to get rid of the Sea God was even more urgent.

"Speak."

"5000 grams of God Blood Crystal."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"5000 grams? Bai Ye, before you came to the main city, you must have been in a profession related to robbery."

"……"

"2000 grams at most. However, there are many God Blood Crystals in the Sea God's treasury. It is said they are in Treasury No. 2. The key to that treasury is imprinted with a violet flower and is worn by the Sea God himself."

After Conrad gave a few low-voiced instructions to his guards, one of them left quickly to retrieve the God Blood Crystals.

Conrad was indeed pushed to the edge. He didn't care about having drunk a chronic poison and took out 2000 grams of God Blood Crystals without even blinking.

A few minutes later, Conrad's guard returned, carrying a cloth bag. He placed it on the table and opened it. Inside the bag were God Blood Crystals of varying sizes; the large ones were the size of pebbles, and the small ones were only the size of rice grains.

【You have obtained 2395 grams of God Blood Crystal.】

"This is all there is. I even took the God Blood Crystal necklace my youngest daughter was wearing. If you raise the price again, I can only switch to another partner. On the day you arrived, two others also came to the main city from Shelter City No. 6. Presumably, the relationship between the three of you is unusual. Bai Ye, the chronic poison I drank can indeed take my life, but I'm not actually very afraid of death; I just don't want my descendants to be buried with me."

Conrad remained composed. The attitude he displayed was that he was not afraid of death; doing all this was not just to survive himself, but to ensure his descendants were not exterminated.

Conrad was not a good son, but he was a good father.

There was another point: Conrad revealed that he had already discovered that Wood and Zuiyas were both viable partners. If Su Xiao's asking price was too high, he would consider seeking cooperation with either Wood or Zuiyas.

"State your other condition."

Conrad picked up his teacup and took a light sip. He found that this chronic poison tasted better than the tea.

"Scroll fragments."

"Agreed."

Conrad agreed without hesitation. This attitude made Su Xiao think that the Undersea World was very different from the Sand World.

The Sand World needed to consume scroll fragments to continue existing, whereas the normal maintenance of the Undersea World very likely did not consume scroll fragments; otherwise, Conrad would not have agreed so easily to use them as payment.

Even so, the only way to get scroll fragments from the Sea God was to seize them by force. The Sea God was different from Conrad; the latter was in a desperate situation.

After a while, Conrad's subordinates brought 5 scroll fragments and placed them on the table.

"Conrad, with these assets, why cooperate with people like us who have unknown origins?"

Baha asked a rather sensitive question. Su Xiao didn't like to say certain things, so Baha did it for him. Su Xiao didn't need to mention this; Baha would take the initiative.

"Because the Trace King let me see him slash the Sun Bird with one blade."

Conrad pushed the five scroll fragments on the table over, and Su Xiao put them away.

"Since we have reached an agreement, let's talk about how to deal with the Sea God."

Baha took out a map of the Sea God Palace and spread it flat on the table. Caesar also stepped forward to watch. At this stage, undercurrents were surging in the main city. Zuiyas and Wood each had their own plans, Crow Woman's combat power was formidable, and the Sea God was only one step away from becoming a Holy God. In this situation, no matter how you looked at it, the potion business was a long way off.

"The Sea God Palace can be divided into five areas. The most critical is the sleeping quarters; the Sea God resides there for long periods. My plan is to sneak in, have multiple powerhouses launch a surprise attack simultaneously, and kill the Sea God in a short time."

After Conrad finished speaking, he looked around at everyone present. His subordinates were stunned, and the female guard behind him even blushed and turned her head away, as if to say this was not her leader.

"Sneak in, assassination?"

"Yes, it's that simple. The simpler the core of the plan, the lower the chance of errors. The defensive strength of the Sea God Palace is beyond your imagination. I have been preparing for many years to be able to sneak in here."

"Woof?"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at Conrad in confusion. Xiang Bubu had monitored the Sea God before and had of course entered the Sea God Palace, even squatting in the sleeping quarters for several hours.

Hearing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's bark, Conrad explained: "Don't be surprised. It did take 3 years to figure out all the defensive layouts of the Sea God Palace, which is indeed a bit fast and makes people worry, but I can ensure it is foolproof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted his head, even more confused.

"Regarding the assassination of the Sea God, I will participate personally. Bai Ye, you must also be present. Besides us, there are Sophia, Luo Er, Qian Ying, and Master Xiulu."

The more Conrad spoke, the more familiar the names sounded to Su Xiao. Fate Priest Sophia and Black Horn Luo Er were both the Sea God's confidants. It was barely understandable that Conrad had poached these two.

Qian Ying was confusing; he was almost the Sea God's shadow.

Master Xiulu was also famous. He was a doctor, but Conrad said that being a doctor was just Master Xiulu's side job. He was a weapon master, proficient in various melee weapons, and only became a doctor later because he felt that fighting and killing were too impetuous.

"How many of the people around the Sea God are not your undercover agents?"

Hearing Baha ask this, Conrad gave a bitter smile and said that divine power had lost the hearts of the people.

"When are we acting?"

"Anytime within the next few days."

"Then tonight."

Su Xiao had always been the type to never hesitate once a decision was made.

"Tonight?" Conrad glanced at the time and said: "It's in time. My subordinates have practiced this plan hundreds of times in the underground venue. The plan is this: every night at 10 o'clock, servants enter the sleeping quarters to deliver 'Mind Marrow' to the Sea God. This thing has a catalytic effect on absorbing faith power. Every portion of 'Mind Marrow' is an innocent life. Our first step is to tamper with today's 'Mind Marrow'."

Having said this, Conrad paused for a moment and continued:

"As for the choice of servants, I have trained dozens of them. Servants must be ordinary people. No matter how firm an ordinary person's mind is, they might show flaws after seeing the Sea God. That is a god, after all."

"So?"

"So I want to say that if a special person disguises themselves as a servant, the probability of problems is very low. At least they won't show inappropriate flaws due to fear of the Sea God. We are not the first to want to tamper with the 'Mind Marrow'; the previous rebels met a miserable end."

Conrad sighed, meaning that among those present, it would be best if someone could disguise themselves as a servant.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted his head, meaning he was not a person. Baha shrugged; he wasn't either.

Su Xiao and Conrad's gazes turned to Caesar at the same time. Not just the two of them, but everyone else in the room also looked at Caesar.

"Impossible. How could I disguise myself as a servant? Besides, the Sea God has seen me."

Just as Caesar finished speaking, he made a move to take off his shoes. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was shocked.

Conrad took out several portraits. They were all of old women and old servants, most of whom were similar in height to Caesar. If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't be able to disguise themselves.

It was these kinds of elderly servants who entered the sleeping quarters every day to serve the 'Mind Marrow' to the Sea God.

Conrad had prepared many alternative servants. The sudden change in plan was both because he was impressed by Caesar's temperament and because those alternative servants could not guarantee 100% resistance to the Sea God's deterrence. Even a casual glance could potentially expose these old servants.

"It's absolutely impossible. Even if I, Caesar, today..."

"10 Soul Stones."

Conrad took a box from his subordinate. After opening it, inside were 10 Soul Crystals (Complete).

Caesar sneered and said 'disdainfully': "Let's try on the clothes first."
