Chapter 823: Chapter 544, Investigating the Undead_3
But then he thought again and deleted the information.
His notoriety was somewhat too eye-catching, and one misstep could alert Odys too soon to his presence.
He thought for a moment and then said, “Is the person reliable?”
“Can’t really say they are reliable, I know them from the trade channel.”
Fang Hao said, “In that case, find a reason to get in touch with him soon, and then inquire about the situation at the Great Cemetery of Odys. It would be best to understand the opposing force’s military strength, as well as the layout of the area.”
Upon seeing Fang Hao’s message, Xu Yang’s heart began to beat violently.
Military strength, map.
This method seemed so familiar.
When Fang Hao had planned his attack on the Bloody Mountains, it was these pieces of intelligence that he had sought from him.
Ah, history was repeating itself on him.
He was certain that there was a very high chance that Fang Hao was planning to go to war with the Undead.
Undead fighting Undead, that bone-crushing imagery would certainly be spectacular.
He immediately agreed, “Understood, boss. I will complete the mission.”
“Hmm, keep me informed of any news, and if necessary, make him some promises.”
“Okay, boss. I will continue to barter resources with him shortly; he is quite short on food, so exchanging some for information shouldn’t be difficult,” Xu Yang continued.
“Good!”
After ending the message, no one else messaged him privately.
In the territorial channel, the discussion had already moved to the techniques of tomb-robbing and coffin-lifting.
The topic had strayed somewhat far afield.
Fang Hao saw that there were no new messages and immediately shut down the Book of Lords to go inspect his territory.
…
The next day, early morning.
Pruell City, Rose Tavern.
Baccarat and Xu Haide, among others, had gotten up very early.
Yesterday, they had still achieved nothing, having been frozen all day without obtaining any useful information.
Last night, they had meticulously assigned work duties again.
The two team leaders took separate actions.
Baccarat led a soldier from the Hall of Justice, staying in the city to gather intelligence.
If there were Undead nearby, there certainly would have been residents who had encountered them.
This was a breakthrough.
Xu Haide, on the other hand, led a Holy Knight of the Church along with another soldier from the Hall of Justice, following a guide introduced by the tavern owner outside the city.
To search for traces of the Undead.
Once discovered, they would take a photo with the Book of Lords to preserve the evidence.
And now, they were waiting for that guide to arrive.
Before long.
An old man clad in a leather jacket briskly walked in.
His gaze swept over everyone present, sizing up the members from Silver Wing City.
The tavern owner immediately came out and introduced both parties, “These are the guests who want to head out.”
Then he said to Xu Haide and the others, “This is Old Keli, the city’s renowned hunter who has been to all the dangerous places nearby. You can’t go wrong with him leading the way.”
Old Keli nodded, “Where to?”
Xu Haide spoke up, “To the north, the Orc area.”
“Orc area? Not an easy place to go, five Gold Coins a day.” Old Keli held up five fingers.
Xu Haide looked at Baccarat, then pulled out five Gold Coins and handed them over.
Old Keli pocketed the coins, “Let’s go, out of the city.”
The group paused at the door and curiously asked, “What about the carriage? Didn’t you say there was a carriage?”
Old Keli, without turning back, said, “With this heavy snow, could the carriage wheels even turn out there? If you’re not going, I’m not refunding the money.”
The old man’s attitude was quite poor.
But compared to the previous Tauren, this attitude was already better.
The five split up, with Baccarat leading his team towards the city center.
Xu Haide and the other two followed Old Keli, heading out of the city together.
…
Outside the city.
Xu Haide quickened his pace to catch up with Old Keli.
He quietly asked, “Mr. Keli, the tavern owner said you are the most renowned hunter in this city, have you seen the Undead?”
“The Undead?” Old Keli looked back at him, “You’re looking for the Undead?”
By the tone of the old man, it appeared he had seen the Undead.
Xu Haide quickly responded, “Ah! Haven’t seen them, thought of coming over to broaden our horizons, can we see them?”
