Chapter 614: Chapter 465, Cathedral (Asking for recommendations, subscriptions…)_1
Cranial Rat!
The Cranial Rat sure is well-informed.
He had used transportation magic to get here this morning, and by midday, the Cranial Rat had already got his message.
And it had sent some new intelligence.
Fang Hao took the card from the paw of the Cranial Rat and looked at the information on it.
It listed two pieces of information. One was about the Swords of Absolution, and the other was a purchase order from the Cranial Rat.
The Swords of Absolution, items necessary for Little You’s level advancement. Each time she obtained the Swords, Little You’s level and strength would significantly increase.
It could be said that of all the heroes Fang Hao had known, this was the most bizarre way for advancement.
Rather than increasing power by collecting items, it was more about restoring her former strength through these items.
This made Fang Hao curious about the limit of Little You’s potential.
He had always been paying attention to the news about the Swords of Absolution, and the Cranial Rat had also been helping him collect this information.
On the card, two names were marked next to the Swords of Absolution – Flame Mercenary Group – Angus and Snow Company – Church.
The line beneath listed the supplies the Cranial Rat needed.
These included basic resources such as fur, food, and others.
It seemed that the heavy rain last week also affected the living conditions in the underworld.
“Alright, I’ll have someone deliver the supplies tomorrow,” Fang Hao said to the Cranial Rat in front of him.
The Cranial Rat nodded, and then turned around to disappear behind a closet.
Fang Hao and the Cranial Rat were still collaborative partners.
Moreover, the Cranial Rat showed great restraint and rarely ventured to the human world.
Even during a flood, they only exchanged goods with Fang Hao, instead of stealing from human granaries.
With the Cranial Rat’s intelligence, stealing food from humans wouldn’t be difficult.
Fang Hao jotted down the names and put the card in the Demon’s space.
“Come in,” Fang Hao called softly.
The door opened, and a Lionheart Knight came in, “My Lord!”
“Go to our former residence and bring Little You to see me,” Fang Hao commanded.
“Yes, my Lord,” answered the Lionheart Knight, as he briskly left the room.
Little You had decided to stay at Lyss City, not only looking for the Swords of Absolution but also protecting our two shops within the city.
…
Half an hour later.
Fang Hao met Little You, who had hurriedly arrived, at the entrance of the City Lord Manor.
“My Lord, you asked for me,” Little You walked up and said softly.
As Fang Hao climbed into the carriage, he answered: “Let’s go, we have intel on the Swords of Absolution, let’s check it out together.”
“Yes, my Lord,” Little You replied, following Fang Hao into the carriage.
The carriage slowly began to move, heading towards the task hall in the East City, escorted by ten Lionheart Knights.
In the carriage was not Fang Hao himself, but a demon doll that bore his semblance.
His real body remained in the City Lord Manor, along with Demitrija and Aseti, who also stayed in the Manor.
The carriage arrived at the task hall shortly.
This was where mercenary groups accepted tasks. There were groups of people waiting for their turns.
Fang Hao and his group entered the hall.
From afar, they saw the fat Eric who was whispering with several mercenaries.
Since Rolana directly rejected him last time, Eric seemed to have given up pursuing her and no longer wrote any love poems.
This time, Fang Hao needed someone to bridge the gap between the ‘Flame Mercenary Group’ and the ‘Snow Company’. The first person that came to mind was Eric.
This rotund man, although unaffiliated with any influential groups, had contacts with many of them.
As soon as Fang Hao came in, Eric naturally spotted him.
After bidding farewell to the mercenaries he was talking to, he stiffly walked over, his belly leading the way.
Closer in, he said: “Bro, how did you become the City Lord? Keep me in mind for any future jobs.”
First thing, Eric lowered his voice and started talking non-stop.
“Alright, I don’t have much power as a City Lord, but if there’s anything I can help with, I will.” Fang Hao continued to ask: “Where are the people from the Flame Mercenary Group?”
“I’ve already contacted them for you, what are you worrying about?” Eric patted his chest.
Eric’s business was an old establishment in the city.
Many of the mercenary groups registered in the City had been hired by Eric before. Even for those he hadn’t hired, Eric was an easy man to contact.
After all, mercenary groups accepted tasks to make money, and they’d rather liaise with people like Eric who had an industry backing him.
“Where is he?”
“Can he be here? Follow me.” Eric led Fang Hao and the others out of the task hall and into a tavern nearby.
They didn’t linger outside the tavern, but went through a long corridor.
They stopped in front of a private room.
Many mercenaries were standing outside the room. As they saw Fang Hao and his men, they immediately became alert.
“I’m Eric. I made an appointment to see Captain Angus right here,” Eric instantly clarified.
The mercenaries at the door obviously recognized Eric.
However, the group of Lionheart Knights standing behind Fang Hao made these mercenaries quite wary.
Their striking golden armor was too conspicuous.
“Wait.”
Leaving only these words, the mercenary turned around and entered the room.
Shortly after, the door opened, and the mercenary said: “You may come in.”
Eric waved for Fang Hao and Little You to follow him in, while the group of Lionheart Knights was left outside the door.
The room was not so big, with only three people inside.
One man was sitting at the table, eating. The other two men, dressed like mercenaries, were standing by in a disciplined manner.
