Although I agree to go to the Dammingwei District, it must be right next to the Camden District properties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Gu Xi’s stern attitude, the waiter smiled and said, \"Please rest assured, customer. Our Destiny Compass Guild has never disappointed a customer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the waiter made a gesture for them to proceed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaya, standing at the door, was eager to join the venture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Xi said awkwardly, \"Could you step out for a bit, at least let me put on some clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not only did Shaya not step out, she even poked her head in, seemingly saying, \"It’s not like I haven’t seen anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi put on his freshly washed clothes, not caring that they were still damp. But Gu Xi didn’t mind; at least now the clothes didn’t smell bad and were wearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Xi like this, the waiter couldn’t help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a thief, he disliked attire that would easily expose one’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Gu Xi wasn’t his subordinate, he couldn’t say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was watch Gu Xi put on his clothes, then soak bread in soup before eating and heading out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mentor, look at how spirited he is. What profession do you think he practices?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With him being that skinny, odds are he’s an Undead Mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter whispered, \"Shaya, stay in the store; don’t go out later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not a big deal,\" Shaya rolled her eyes, \"It’s not dark yet, and there’s no one in the store. I won’t affect anything if I follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter shot her a glare, and Shaya shrank back, hiding behind the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you think that will keep me from going, you’re overthinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter didn’t bother much with Shaya’s attitude. On one hand, it was a test for Shaya, and on the other, he was doing it to show Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intention, quite clear, was that he didn’t want to bring such trouble along, aiming to demonstrate his professionalism to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Xi didn’t understand the waiter’s intentions. His thoughts were focused on the waiter’s familiarity with the nearby roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This waiter sure lived up to being a member of the Thief Guild, as he was quite familiar with every street and alley around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, even when there was no road ahead, he could open a small door and lead into another alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following behind the waiter, Gu Xi almost got disoriented and lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was during the day with someone leading! Gu Xi believed that anyone daring to enter this maze of alleys at night might not find a way out for at least three to five hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This section also connected to many main streets, and with a few turns, the waiter led Gu Xi out of the maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just ahead is Greenwich Street; once we cross it, we’ll reach Northumberland Avenue, which is also the boundary avenue between Camden District and Dammingwei District.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter continued to walk while seriously introducing the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi followed behind, glancing around at this main street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall buildings flanking the street seemed to have no shops, no signage other than house numbers, making it look like a dubious place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Xi looking around, the waiter quickly pulled him aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t gaze around. This place has a nickname ’Great Scotland Yard Street.’ You wouldn’t want to get involved, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after hearing this did Gu Xi realize the connections passing through this street belonged to Scotland Yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder there were no markings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the location was good, situated near Scotland Yard’s territory, so petty crime was scarce in the vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While contemplating this, Gu Xi spotted the leading waiter out front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fellow, apparently a thief, was roaming freely on Greenwich Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Scotland Yard’s deterrence wasn’t that strong after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter, unaware of what Gu Xi was thinking, guided him across the street and into the Dammingwei District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the street, Gu Xi noticed a clear difference from the previous Greenwich Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buildings along the street were not as tall, and many looked like apartment complexes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gaps between the buildings occasionally revealed either vacant lots or dilapidated structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Gu Xi requested proximity to Camden District, the waiter didn’t lead him deeper in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely pointed out a few apartments or plots available for sale along the street to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This plot is available for exchange. Don’t be fooled by its narrowness; the length is advantageous, with a total area just under six hundred square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to its shape, it hasn’t sold yet; if you wish to trade, you can easily acquire it for three hundred Camden District Land Purchase Orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can build as you please, as long as the height doesn’t exceed nearby buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small building over here is for sale. Notice the main entrance? Just beyond it is the main street of the Camden District, leading you straight there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the waiter wasn’t a real estate agent, his explanation was a bit stiff. However, Gu Xi’s requirements weren’t high: a sufficiently large area by Camden District’s edge would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Gu Xi quickly took a fancy to a three-story building being prepared for sale, just five buildings away from Greenwich Street. It looked relatively new, with freshly painted exteriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing outside, Gu Xi was quite fond of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter, seeing Gu Xi’s interest, was willing to talk more about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the building’s owner wasn’t their guild’s customer, their guild was conducting a major deal, and acquiring more Camden Land Purchase Orders was beneficial. Exchanging for such a building was relatively straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Gu Xi was about to make a decision, he suddenly glanced outwards, pointing towards the intersection of Greenwich Street and Northumberland Avenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what’s going on over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the T-intersection of Greenwich Street and Northumberland Avenue, right where Gu Xi pointed, there was a collapsed building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original footprint wasn’t insubstantial, around three hundred twenty square meters. But with its collapse, all construction materials were piled on the ground, looking quite a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter immediately remarked, \"What else could it be? The area’s ownership is unclear. The original owner always claimed it was part of Greenwich Street, thus part of Camden District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it’s obvious: it’s in the middle section of Northumberland Avenue. How could it belong to Camden District?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the situation has been dragging on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi pondered the ruins seriously, \"If I’m willing to acknowledge it as part of the Dammingwei District, would the price be cheaper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-06-10T07:09:15.747Z",1,"novelbin.me","67e9fb12dd640937b1cdeabbe72ea90b38e1abea5b5f0cf22c3f975cb526ad86","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-38","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-36",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
