?Chapter 1114: 343. Legend of Crossing
Oh, the reaction speed of the Death Herald Guild is quite fast.
Nnd Lee looked at the date on the secret letter. It wasn’t today, but yesterday.
This meant that as soon as Professor Dekart discovered that his magic avatar had died in the Pollution Zone, he had immediately sent a secret letter to the Friar Luo Fei before him, warning him not to trust the seller who came with an invitation letter from the Death Herald Guild.
So it seemed that ever since Nnd Lee had entered this Spider Cave and beyond, his identity and origins had already aroused Luo Fei’s suspicions.
Nnd Lee stayed his hand and remained calm.
If he wished, he couldpletely topple the Undead Town he was in right now. <div>
...
This powerful base of strength allowed him not to fear any enemy, even if Luo Fei already knew he harbored ill intentions.
In front of Luo Fei, Nnd Lee remained silent, reading all the deconstruction results as quickly as possible.
Luo Fei scrutinized Nnd Lee, pondering how to probe the true intentions of his visitor.
The scene fell into a brief silence for a few seconds.
The content on “Memory Fragment 12” captured Nnd Lee’s particr attention.
From it, he found the information he truly sought.
The name of this memory fragment was “The n to Procure Soul Energy,” and it was 100%plete.
The n, woven personally by the Spider Mother, was assigned to Friar Luo Fei to carry out.
nned procurement volume in the scheme was 1.5 billion points of soul energy.
Up to the transaction with Luo Fei that Nnd Lee had justpleted, Luo Fei still needed to purchase 260 million points of soul energy to meet the requirements in the n.
How fortuitous.
In Nnd Lee’s magic pouch, there was an ample supply of soul energy!
His soul gems were brought from the “Decayed Wilderness,” sourced from the domain ritual array guarded by the descendants of the Blood Sun Seal, totaling 330 million points.
Having sold off 5 million previously, selling another 260 million now would still leave quite a surplus for Nnd Lee’s reserves.
Furthermore, Nnd Lee had a premonition:
If he were to help the Undead Cult make up this shortfall in soul energy, the Steel Forest of Mortal World would appear sooner than expected, without waiting the full two months.
After thinking for a while, Nnd Lee asked:
“Tell me a number. How much more soul energy do you need soon, and how much death energy are you willing to pay for it? I’ll prepare the exact amount you need at once, to avoid multiple trips here.”
Friar Luo Fei was momentarily stunned, seemingly not quite understanding Nnd Lee’s intention.
An obviously ill-intentioned person, carrying an invitation letter from the Death Herald Guild, was now saying something along the lines of “whatever you need, I’ve got.”
All these signs made Luo Fei feel that the seller before him,beled “suspicious” by the Death Herald Guild, had an indescribable motive.
Nevertheless, procuring soul energy was an important task given to Luo Fei by the Spider Mother.
If there was an opportunity toplete this task all at once and then boast of it before the Spider Mother, Luo Fei was open to trying.
After circling around Nnd Lee a few times, Luo Fei quoted a figure that was within Nnd Lee’s expectation:
“We still need 260 million points of soul energy.”
Nnd Lee nodded to himself; everything matched the deconstruction results.
Luo Fei continued:
“Based on usual procurement pace, it might take me one to two months to acquire this much soul energy. If you can bring me 260 million points, I am willing to pay you at a rate of 1.2 times the price. 1.56 billion points of death energy, that’s my offer.”
The original trading ratio was 1:5.
1 point of soul energy for 5 points of death energy.
A 1.2 times trading price amounted to a 1:6 ratio.
The offer of 1.56 billion points of death energy was fine, but Nnd Lee had to guard against any underhanded tactics by the Undead Cult.
What if he delivered the soul energy only to be ambushed by the cult?
Although the Magic Messenger was convenient, it was a specialty of the Ulnas Circle and a few magical kingdoms, unavable to any other power.
Suggesting delivery via Magic Messenger would be tantamount to revealing his affiliation, something Nnd Lee would not do.
After a moment’s contemtion, Nnd Lee said:
“Agreed. Give me seven days. After seven days, I’ll deliver the soul energy you need.”
Luo Fei chuckled softly and shot a thread of a web to a dim corner, retrieving a bone fragment wrapped in cobwebs from the hands of a Spider Mother Attendant:
“Take this token. When you’re ready, activate it anywhere near the Underground River. You’ll see the Spider Mother’s Ferry emerge from the water. Board that boat and you can quicklye to me.”
Nnd Lee waved his hand, seizing the token with the [Mage’s Hand], tucking it into a separate magic pouch, and sealing it with the magic barrier inside.
Having done that, he turned and left without another word. No longer engaging in conversation with Luo Fei.
Luo Fei’s gaze followed Nnd Lee’s retreating figure, filled with confusion and contemtion, and plenty of expectation.
Once Nnd Lee had gone.
“Hss…” Luo Fei hissed softly:
“This seller has an invitation letter for a transaction from the Death Herald Guild, and it’s the same one from the member who died. He must be connected to the setbacks the guild encountered in the Pollution Zone. Should I inform that guy Dekart of this seller’s existence…”
Luo Fei used the web trailing behind her as an anchor to ascend toward the pitch-ck ceiling, slowly nibbling at the blood food bound to the rafters.
After long contemtion, she finally decided to wait until the soul gems were in her hand before revealing Nnd Lee’s existence to Dekart, so as not to affect her soul energy procurement.
…
…
An hourter, Nnd Lee crossed the checkpoint on a bone boat and left the territory of the Undead Cult.
