Chapter 1005: Snake, Dead

"Black Rope Legion? Black Rope Mercenary Group?" Negris's face showed an awkward expression.

They were indeed old acquaintances, so familiar that if the Old Undying knew, he would jump out of the graveyard to wipe his memory. But Anthony said 'Legion' instead of 'Mercenary Group'. These two words still have a big difference in human common language.

"The Black Rope Legion is the peripheral organization of the Black Rope Mercenary Group. If a mercenary group has been around for a long time, it will definitely have a bunch of idle personnel, such as the parents, wives, children, and little lovers of the members. These people need to be settled. Firstly, it can stabilize people's hearts, and secondly, it can also..." Speaking of this, Anthony curled his lip and said:

"Secondly, it can also bind them into a community of interests. If your wife, children, and little lover are all in the legion, the possibility of you betraying will be much smaller. There are also some members who are weak, old, or injured and cannot adapt to the high-difficulty missions of the mercenary group, so they are demoted to the legion to recuperate and retire."

Negris was surprised: "Raising wives, children, and little lovers, and also providing recuperation and retirement—this mercenary group is quite good."

Anthony said disapprovingly: "This is a matter of course. A team with combat effectiveness must take care of the needs of all core members. If the intensity is high, then increase the commission; if the danger is great, then take good care of the whole family; if the benefits are few, then arrange fewer missions."

"That kind of mercenary group that lets you go to die while not increasing your money, and still talks about the spirit of dedication, definitely won't grow big. This Black Rope Mercenary Group can reach the super-god level; it must have a reasonable operating structure," Anthony explained.

Negris curled his lip and said: "Then these people are peripheral members of the Black Rope Mercenary Group. Could it be that the Light Catastrophe has something to do with the Black Rope Mercenary Group?"

Anthony said: "That's not necessarily true. Besides the Light Catastrophe, it's also possible that they provoked some powerful enemy. The underwater structure here is destined to be more hidden than other planes. Moreover, some bubbles have high terrain and thin water curtains, so sunlight can still penetrate, and quite a few crops can be grown."

"Of course, it doesn't exclude that they discovered some problems while on missions, or participated in missions to create the Light Catastrophe. Anyway, they are a mercenary group, taking money to do work. If they sensed something was wrong, they would start arranging a retreat."

Negris asked: "Then what should we do?"

"Do you dare to wake up His Majesty?" Anthony asked.

"Am I crazy? Do you dare? If you dare, you go call him." Negris almost jumped up. He dared to gossip behind his back, but let him go call the Old Undying to get up? Did he not want to live anymore?

Anthony spread his hands: "Then there's no way. This is His Majesty's enemy. I don't dare to make a move. Let's scout around first and see if we can find out anything."

The Black Rope Mercenary Group is the King's enemy. They don't dare to steal the King's monsters. What if the King gets angry?

Just then, Silver Coin suddenly flew back and said: "I found out some news. Those migrants belonging to the Black Rope Legion all moved here suddenly three years ago. Before that, the Black Rope Mercenary Group had always been on missions outside. One of their missions was to escort a caravan to a certain plane. After returning, they started arranging for everyone to move."

"A certain plane? Which plane?" Negris asked.

"They don't know either. The Black Rope Legion is a peripheral organization. These personnel who moved away in advance are even more peripheral among the peripheral. It's already quite good that they know it was an escort mission," Silver Coin said.

Negris asked: "How did you find out? Did you alert them? It wouldn't be good if they got suspicious."

"Ah? I asked with money. I asked them why they moved here, if they discovered any gold mines or something, and then we started chatting. They are a mercenary group; selling information is too normal," Silver Coin said.

Speaking of this, Silver Coin tilted his head, dropped a sentence, "I'm going over there," and flew away with a 'swoosh'.

During this period, the busiest one was actually Silver Coin. From organizing personnel, distributing grain, to selecting personnel to join the Chamber of Commerce, and then registering various data, he was physically busy, his feet not touching the ground, basically flying around.

Silver Coin was both headache-ridden and happy. When it comes to team reliance, Silver Coin is even more serious than Anthony. Without a team that is easy to use, Silver Coin can't do anything at all.

That's why he was crazy about lacking people. He needed a large number of personnel, whether it was a vice president of the Chamber of Commerce who could stand alone, or guards, accountants, cooks, or carriage teams, boat teams, porters, he needed them all.

This is also why he actively hoped to buy the Omniscient Church. In this way, he would have a huge pool of manpower to use.

It's just that Ang is too powerful. Originally, Silver Coin was prepared to use money and grain to solve things slowly, but Ang solved it with the most direct method.

That is to say, in a very short time, he had nearly ten million people to choose from. While distributing grain, recruiting suitable personnel to join his Chamber of Commerce, and also paying attention not to steal Anthony's personnel, he was busy flying.

Everyone was busy crazy. The most idle one was actually Ang. Seeing that no one was looking for him, Ang slipped away quietly, quietly.

"Where are you going?" Negris followed immediately.

Ang ignored him, came to the dock position, and jumped directly into the water.

Negris hurriedly shouted: "Death Skeleton, take me with you. I don't know how to swim, gulu gulu..."

Before he finished his words, he was dragged in by a spiritual touch reaching out from the water, leaving only a pile of bubbles in place.

Carrying Negris, he soon swam above the water curtain. When he emerged, a strong and bright sunlight shone on them.

"It's so sunny." Negris's eyes narrowed.

Because water is lighter than air, air is at the bottom. There is no air above the water curtain, and it cannot scatter sunlight, looking as pure as the void.

Sunlight shone directly on the water surface, evaporating a layer of water mist, which floated on the water surface. If one hid in the water mist, the power of the sunlight would weaken. When the water mist was also evaporated, the power would increase again, cycling back and forth.

"You can't stay on this water surface. There's nothing. Why did you come up here?" Negris asked.

Ang didn't speak, dragged Negris for a swim, and finally found an island protruding from the water surface.

He took out an ultra-long rope, tied it to the island, tied a big stone to the other end, and threw it into the water.

In this way, the rope would use the island as an anchor and drift in the water.

Negris knew what Ang wanted to do. Sure enough, Ang took out a string of water algae and clipped it onto the rope.

"I knew it, I knew you wouldn't come up here to sunbathe. How could you have any thoughts other than 'growing vegetables'? I'm too naive." Negris said angrily.

"But this is indeed the best place to grow water algae, just like the Freshwater Plane, all water. Eh? What is that?" Just as he was sighing, Negris suddenly felt a shadow float by.

Looking up, he saw a huge disc floating in the void, which was floating between them and the sun, blocking the sunlight.

"Snake, dead." Ang looked up, then lowered his head to fiddle with his water algae.
