Chapter 357
Chapter 357 Murder of Cackling Crows
What did the Death Witches like best?
Corpses, souls, and any items that were soaked full of death energy!
And Greem had quite a few of such items in his collection.
The first thing Greem took out was a massive block of ice. One could see the frozen corpse of a human knight through the crystalline ice.
“The corpse of a powerful human? Not bad, I like it,” One of the semi-translucent projections floated past the block of ice and cackled, “But at our level, these ordinary things aren’t enough to move us. Let me first see what Grade this corpse is!”
A string of strange and awkward-sounding syllables rang out in the air as a magical gray light arced towards the corpse.
The knight’s body instantly glowed with a blinding red radiance!
“Yeesh. I didn’t expect to misjudge a person! Very well kid, you win. Your offering is sufficient to win the support of two of us sisters. Now, of we twelve sisters, pick any two of us to be your guarantors, and you can enter the clan’s lesser plane.”
The beautiful witch’s voice had just left her mouth when the whole room filled with the wailing and swooshing of ghosts.
“Brat, pick me, or I’ll release my ghosts to haunt you.” This one tried to use threats of violence.
“Kid, if you pick me, I can give you…” This one tried to win Greem over with benefits. She sent the latter half of her sentence over the more private mental connection.
“Kid, do you want to enjoy a blissful night with your elder sister over here?! I can make sure you are entirely satisfied.” This one was just straight-up trying to seduce him.
For a moment, the room felt like it had been taken over by a murder of cackling crows. Countless sharp, or hoarse, or excited, or seductive voices and mental messages were sent Greem’s way. Greem felt like his mind had been crammed full of demonic chantings. He couldn’t even think.
“Stop for a moment. Please, stop.” Greem instantly ordered the chip to cut off all the mental connections the witches had established with him. He rubbed his forehand as he smiled bitterly, “It is thanks to Lady Cheryl that I have this opportunity in the first place. So, I will have Lady Cheryl decide in my place.”
The floating projections fell silent. Then, all of them turned to look at Cheryl.
The dignified Cheryl was cheerfully looking on at the entertaining drama that was happening. The smile on her face instantly collapsed now that Greem had thrown the whole mess to her.
“Sisters, calm down!” Cheryl knew what was about to happen and immediately stopped the witches before they could erupt into chaos once more, “We are the proud and noble Death Witches! We can’t let outsiders see us as jokes. I suggest we go through with Sir Greem’s request for shelter before we slowly discuss the ownership of these items.”
“Seconded!”
“Seconded!”
“Seconded!”
……
It was clear that the Death Witches were remarkably cohesive on the inside. Cheryl’s simple suggestion immediately gained the agreement of the witches. Thus, Greem’s safety was guaranteed. At least, within the Death Witches’ territory, the warrant for arrest issued by the Witch Council only existed in name now!
Moreover, Greem couldn’t help but start thinking about the future, with these many Death Witches standing before him.
“O respected Death Witches, other than the previous agreement, I also wish to purchase some items to guard against spirits, curses, and illusions. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a spell, an item, or a potion. As long as they work effectively, I will be willing to purchase them with items that you will be interested in!”
“Oh, do you have anything else that can satisfy us other than those two Second-Grade corpses?” One of the more veteran Death Witches let out an ear-piercing cackle.
“Take a look at this. Will this work?” Greem smiled.
He took out a gray, spiral-shaped crystal from his pouch.
The light from outside the window allowed the witches to see the object contained within the crystal. A faint gray mist furiously crashed against the gem, as if it wanted to break free of its prison.
Every time it crashed against the crystal walls, the gray mist would turn into the ferocious face of a human male. The face cursed and roared in anger.
“The soul of a Second Grade Knight.”
The eyes of the Death Witches once again shone with greed.
If the Second Grade knight’s corpse could be used to create a high-quality undead subordinate, then this Second Grade soul could most definitely bring about tremendous growth to the Spirit of their accompanying spirits.
That was indirectly increasing their own powers!
Cheryl was finally unable to hold in her sigh.
If she had known Greem had so much ‘good stuff,’ she would never have called these greedy sisters over.
For the first time, she felt genuine regret!
“I have a Voodoo Puppet.”
“I can help you make a Wraith Doll.”
“Revenant Herb. I have a Revenant Herb here.”
“All those things they mentioned are consumables. I can teach you how to cast Soul Barrier.”
An old voice suddenly rang out amidst the wave of noise.
“Little brat, ever heard of the Dead Soul Array?”
