Chapter 1021: Chapter 630, Caught in a Trap (Seeking votes and subscriptions at the beginning of the month…)
The Skeleton cashier was taken aback.
He glanced at the cat-eared girl below and then at Fang Hao who wanted to buy the fish bones.
He didn’t forget to gently remind, “Sir, these have been dried and preserved, they are not edible.”
Fang Hao was also taken aback.
There it was, his impression of buying bones for soup at an undead shop was cemented.
“Who would eat this stuff? I have a friend from the Undead Clan, I’m getting it for him,” Fang Hao explained.
“Oh, alright, then I’ll pack them up for you.” The Skeleton cashier opened the glass cabinet and wrapped up the three skeletons separately.
Fang Hao took this time to pull on Lorrey.
Signaling her to wipe the drool off the glass.
He continued to walk further inside.
To see if there was anything else he could use.
The items for sale here were somewhat homogeneous, all from the land.
Not a single thing from the sky.
After checking the second floor, Fang Hao went up to the third floor.
He checked many Viscera Jars.
Eventually, Fang Hao’s gaze fell on a book on the side with a gray leather cover.
Book: Lingering Ghosts
Category: Book
(Description: A book recording Dark Magic and insights.)
Hm?
A Magic book?
The name is very undead.
He looked at the price, fifty thousand Warfire Coins.
Compared to the other items which were around one hundred and ten thousand, it seemed a bit out of place on the third floor.
But as far as book prices go, this one was exorbitantly priced.
“This book, isn’t it priced a bit too high?” Fang Hao mentioned.
The Skeleton cashier stepped forward to explain, “Human sir, this book contains Level 4 undead spells, which if studied by mages of the immortal faction, can greatly enhance their power.”
Level 4 magic corresponds to the purple quality.
It indeed is of high quality.
But one needs to read and learn from it.
Fifty thousand for a book, truly extortionate.
“Wrap it up, I’ll take it,” Fang Hao said through gritted teeth.
Hoping that upon returning, he could decipher some magic from it.
After he was done, he could let Nelson read it, then Amanda, and finally, sell it for fifty thousand.
Thinking about it, it wasn’t a loss…
“Alright, sir.”
Though the Skeleton showed no expression, its movements became a bit more brisk.
It was probably quite pleased.
With nothing else of interest, they returned to the first floor.
Paid at the counter.
Took their items and stored them in the storage space.
Once again, he took the two women out for a stroll on the main street.
And on a roadside stall, he bought grilled fish for Lorrey to satisfy her craving.
This child, how long has it been since she last had fish, drooling over a fishbone like that.
Next, the trio continued to browse the shops of various other factions.
Nothing special.
Nor anything they specifically needed.
They even made a point to check the Lizardmen’s shop.
The queen wasn’t there, so they just browsed around and left.
Lizardmen’s gear, in fact, had its unique features.
Apart from the armor sizes being more suited to the Lizardmen’s physique, it also included tail armor.
The tail was encased in armor, and at the very end, they equipped it with attacking Weapons.
Such as tail spikes, tail hammers.
It’s also an attack method.
…
They strolled until dusk.
It satisfied the girls’ desire to explore.
Actually, Fang Hao was not very controlling over them; if it weren’t for safety concerns, he would let the maidens come out for a stroll.
Being cooped up in the city all day could make one go stir-crazy.
“Let’s go to Succubus Cottage for dinner!” Anjia suggested.
Fang Hao looked across the street where at the entrance of the cottage stood a plump but seemingly young White Temptress Demon.
With tiny demon horns on her head, dressed in a black leather outfit, her belly slightly exposed through a heart-shaped cut-out.
And that spade-shaped tail that just wouldn’t stop wagging, warming the hearts of the onlookers.
Fang Hao had actually been to the Succubus Cottage once before.
Back then, some kind of “Drunkard’s Contest” was about to be held, and Fang Hao bought several bottles of the most expensive Dragon Village Dream.
It was that time he and Rolana drank together, both a bit tipsy, which brought them closer.
“With so many people going in, it would be problematic to draw attention,” Fang Hao said softly, watching the steady stream of customers entering the store.
“How about I ask if there are private rooms? If there are, we can eat here—how about it?” Anjia haggled.
“That works.” Fang Hao thought for a moment and agreed.
“Lorrey, you go and ask if there are any private rooms.”
“I won’t go. Why don’t you ask yourself?” Lorrey retorted.
Anjia hands on hips, replied, “I brought you out this time, won’t bring you next time.”
“Fine, I’ll go.”
Lorrey trotted towards the Succubus standing at the door, pointing this way while asking her questions.
Soon enough, she came running back excitedly.
Real fast.
“There’s a private room, said if we wait any longer when more people arrive, they can’t guarantee there will be any left,” Lorrey hurriedly reported.
Anjia also widened her eyes, looking at him expectantly.
I don’t get it, a demon-run restaurant should attract men—what are you two so eager for?
“Let’s go, we’ll see. Don’t order anything weird; Anjia can detox but you can’t,” Fang Hao said on the side.
“I won’t eat,” Lorrey stated.
You better not.
Heading to the Succubus Cottage, the two were quite pleased.
Arm in arm with Fang Hao, they walked briskly over.
The atmosphere inside the cottage was rather unconventional.
A room full of men, with sexy seductress demons, waggling tails as they served drinks and food to the tables of guests.
It was indeed lively.
When Fang Hao was at the front desk booking a private room, his gaze fell upon a… poster on the wall next to him?
It could probably be called a poster.
The “Drunkard Competition” first place winner, Beata of the Dragon Clan.
There was also an image of Beata, the silver-haired dragon girl, that closely resembled the wanted posters from One Piece.
Looking at the name, Fang Hao really couldn’t remember her.
But one look at the image, and he immediately recognized her as the Dragon Clan girl who had dismantled the Trade Alliance auction with him.
He heard that the Dragon Clan was still looking for him.
This dragon girl, still young in age and small in stature, could really hold her liquor, having won first place.
The second place went to a dwarf, and the third to a troll with a horn on his forehead.
Ah, this…
First place was a member of the Dragon Clan, which was understandable.
After all, the Dragon Clan naturally possessed great physical strength.
But considering a troll’s size, which could fit three or four dwarfs, not being able to drink more than a dwarf was somewhat unreasonable.
“Sir, madam, this way please,” the Succubus said gently, taking Fang Hao’s hand and walking up the stairs to the second floor.
Soft and fluffy.
Anjia and Lorrey, not minding him, were looking around.
Upon entering the private room, it immediately became much quieter.
They sat down at the table.
Anjia and Lorrey began to order, and although the restaurant was owned by a Succubus, the food was quite normal.
Nothing bizarre appeared.
The White Temptress Demon beside them listened quietly, her tail gently wagging.
Anjia touched it.
The White Temptress Demon looked at her and said softly, “Sir, madam, that’s not allowed.”
It’s not me who touched it, why bring me into this.
…
At dusk, the sky slowly turned red.
Silver Wing City, a village on the eastern side.
In a slightly dim wooden house.
Ms. Li Rong looked curiously at the few people before her.
“Do you have teaching experience?”
They didn’t seem much like scholars from any perspective.
“Yes, yes, you didn’t say, can we divide the houses for teachers? We all can,” a man said.
Li Rong frowned, “What did you teach before?”
“Language, language…”
Half an hour earlier, Ms. Li Rong had left Silver Wing City, heading back to her own city.
People hurriedly came up, saying there were several people willing to be teachers.
They had previously worked on compiling teaching materials as well.
And wanted to talk to her.
Ms. Li Rong thought for a moment and was led here.
“What about the rest of you?” she continued asking.
“I teach math.”
“I am a physical education teacher.”
As they spoke, sweat began to form on their foreheads.
Ms. Li Rong’s eyebrows knitted slightly, but she felt that something was off with these people.
They seemed very nervous.
During this time, after having many contacts with the city’s nobility and hearing about numerous plots and schemes,
she felt even more that these people had ulterior motives.
Thinking this, she remained calm and said, “Alright, I can approve this matter. When the time comes, I will arrange for your employment, allocate separate housing in the city, and provide compensation, which is much better than here.”
The men’s eyes shifted evasively.
The offer, if fulfilled, was actually not bad.
Just as Ms. Li Rong was about to say something else casually and get up to leave,
the door opened.
Two men, one after the other, walked in.
[Sword of Chivalry-Walter (Blue Tier 5)]
[Brave Vanguard-Jonathan (Blue Tier 4)]
They stood at the doorway.
At the same time, sounds of shouting and killing could be heard from outside.
Morse pulled Ms. Li Rong up, quickly retreating to create distance from the opposite side,
shielding her behind him.
Ms. Li Rong was startled, but her expression remained calm.
“If something happens to me here, and the Mage Association investigates, none of you will survive either,” she said.
The hero known as ‘Sword of Chivalry’ replied with a smile, “Ms. Li Rong, we are merely asking you to come with us, there’s absolutely no ill intent.”
No ill intent??
That statement contrasted sharply with the fierce shouts of combat outside.
“Can you tell me who is behind you?” Ms. Li Rong continued to inquire.
Meanwhile, she contemplated what to do.
Morse was a Purple hero, skilled in assassination; openly fighting, especially while protecting her, he might not be a match for two warrior heroes.
Send a message to Fang Hao?
There wasn’t enough time; reaching for the Book of Lords might provoke an immediate attack from them.
Even if contact was made, what then?
Fang Hao’s teleport required precise positioning, and it wasn’t something briefly explainable.
“You will know in due time, Ms. Li Rong, please come with us to avoid any harm,” Sword of Chivalry continued.
Ms. Li Rong didn’t respond; if she agreed to go, she’d be a fool.
Such a forceful attempt to capture her likely wouldn’t end with her release.
Her eyes constantly scanned the room.
Two heroes, four transmigrators.
She needed to quickly eliminate the transmigrators, then assist Morse.
Or, after eliminating the transmigrators, she could turn and run; if they chased her, Morse could likely handle one on his own.
As she thought this, she covertly signaled on Morse’s back with a couple of gestures.
Not caring whether the others understood.
She coldly warned, “Reminding you that I have a mark left by teacher Grigorya on me; every move you make is seen by the teacher. If you don’t want to die, leave now. I can pretend nothing happened.”
The two heroes scoffed.
Directly addressing their comrades, they said, “The four of you, dealing with one woman, no problem, right?”
The four transmigrators nodded, pulling gleaming steel swords from a nearby cabinet.
“Good, capture Ms. Li Rong, and your task will be complete,” Sword of Chivalry said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, the two heroes and the four transmigrators,
rushed forward together.
