Chapter 701
When Greem brought Mary inside the metal hall, Uzzah was sitting alone inside and carefully fiddling with a palm-sized pegasus statue in her hands.
It was probably the form of the Pegasus Magic Spring after having been sealed!
Even though it had been completely sealed, Greem could still sense the stone statue’s vast magical aura through the sparks of light emanating from it.
The Pegasus Magic Spring could transform ordinary wild horses into flying magical beasts. It was inevitable that there was some research value to it. If it were wholly dissected and understood, it would have incredible benefits for the Dark Witches’ taming and rearing of flying magical beasts.
As such, it was only natural that Uzzah’s mood had become unprecedentedly pleasant after successfully obtaining the stone statue!
“Tell me,” A rare smile appeared on Uzzah’s cold and sinister face, “What exactly is it that you people want me to do for you? Let me say this beforehand; I won’t participate in anything that’s excessively dangerous. At the very worst, I will compensate you for your contributions after we return to the World of Adepts.”
Greem slightly smiled when he heard this.
“Don’t you worry, Lady Uzzah. What we want you to do will in no way exceed the limits of your abilities!”
“The Punishers you mentioned?”
“The Punishers do not belong to any one of the three adept organizations. Instead, they are a secret organization comprised of elite adepts from the central area. The purpose of their existence is to punish the scum amongst the adepts that refuse to abide by the Adept’s Code of Conduct along with the black adepts that have committed atrocious sins.”
“An independent body that doesn’t belong to any of the three major adept organizations?” Greem asked, confused, “Could they be an underground organization the old folks came up with to deal with you guys?”
Uzzah’s expression froze on her face for a second. She couldn’t help but take another look at Greem, “You’re pretty fast. You are right. The Punishers are an underground organization those Fourth Grade old men of Zhentarim created. The purpose of the Punishers is to go beyond the boundaries of clan and family to gather the high-tier forces of the central adepts. Their public motto is to punish the ‘black adepts’ that do not obey the Code. In actuality, their real targets are still the proxies of the three primary forces that have been stationed in Zhentarim. They will not hesitate to strike at anyone that crosses the line!”
“We are not of the three major forces.”
“But you are small fry. If that female companion of yours were to lay her hands on an adept of the same grade, then those old folks in the Punishers wouldn’t let her off the hook, even if it was just for their appearances!”
“Very well, I understand!” Greem scratched his head in frustration, “Lady Uzzah, let’s get back on topic! Will you be willing to accompany us for this trip?”
“You think I’m mad? Do you think I’d send myself to die in the den of the dragons?”
“This green dragon’s den isn’t located alongside the others. It seems to be a traitor or rebel of the green dragons and has been expelled from the dragons’ den by the green and emerald dragons. It now lives in an extremely rural branch mountain of the central mountains.”
“The news is getting better, so much so that I almost can’t help but agree! Any more good news?”
“The green dragon isn’t in its den right now. It has hurried off to the Death Scar!”
“The divination pseudo-artifact is yours. However, I want half of the remaining treasure, and I get first rights in choosing.”
“Deal!”
