Chapter 494 -Mission Accomplished
GDK 494: Mission Accomplished
The sudden changes that occurred to Zofi had attracted the attention of every guest in the lounge. When that upper-class lady from the auction house suddenly chased after the ‘Viride Leaf’, the party was even more shocked.
From the moment that ‘Viride Leaf’ flew out from the exploded space ring on Zofi’s left hand, everyone in the lounge was silenced by the miserable shriek Zofi unceasingly let out. Braque only dazed very briefly before he gave Thuram beside him an order. In a deep and low voice, he said, “Go grab it!”
Thuram, without saying a word, immediately chased the ‘Viride Leaf’ as it shot away. He was close behind the upper-class lady.
On one of the roofs outside the manor, Han Shuo was rather dazed for some time. He stared blankly at the ‘Viride Leaf’ as it flew towards him. Everyone in the manor had their sights cast in that direction. Without thinking, Han Shuo realized that Sophie and he were certainly exposed.
“What is going on?” Han Shuo questioned wood elite zombie. The abnormality of the ‘Viride Leaf’ was obviously single-handedly caused by wood elite zombie. Han Shuo did not anticipate that wood elite zombie had such a remarkable ability.
“It, it is flying over by itself!” wood elite zombie replied somewhat unsurely, as though he was very much innocent.
Han Shuo was startled. But shortly after, he recalled of the legends of the five elemental treasures. In the interpretation pertaining to the five elemental treasures that Chu Cang Lan left behind, it did mention that there existed some incredible sensing power between the treasures of the five elements and elite zombies of the five elements. The treasures of the five elements, formed by the accumulation of nourishment in places of extremes for millions and millions of years, not only contained miraculous energies, but also had the ability to select their own masters.
Once this wood attribute treasure, a treasure produced from the place of extreme wood, sensed the homologous aura emanating from wood elite zombie, it took wood elite zombie as the most suitable master for itself. Therefore, it actively broke away from the binding of Zofi’s space ring and flew towards wood elite zombie, the master it had chosen.
“Now I see! Quickly receive it then!” Han Shuo softly said after he figured out what really was happening.
Upon returning to the small hotel, Han Shuo was entirely free from worry, not in the slightest concerned about the affair in Braque’s manor. Having obtained the ‘Viride Leaf’ without spending 300 thousand gold coins, Han Shuo had no reason not to be happy. He wasn’t concerned about all those people from the manor, not even Sulo. Therefore, even though Sulo did see him and Sophie together, Han Shuo was not at all worried.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Sophie was anxious and restless as soon as she returned. She unceasingly fretted and complained. Han Shuo consoled Sophie in every way possible for quite a while, and only then, although still somewhat distraught, did she return to her room and sleep.
There were still another two days of auction sale to go. Based on intelligence obtained by the Dark Mantle, there truly was a copious amount of invaluable goods up for bidding, especially on the final day. There reportedly would be certain exceedingly rare materials that would be auctioned. But as for exactly what material they were, even those from the Dark Mantle couldn’t unravel it. However, Han Shuo was still very much looking forward to the third and final day of the auction sale.
Seeing that it was still early, Han Shuo took out the Soul Depository Ring which stored the soul of dark dragon Gilbert and chatted with him for a while. The main reason he did so was to keep Gilbert’s soul active so as to avoid too much lifeless aura polluting him. Otherwise, in the future, after his physical body was reforged, it would be hard for him to regain that vitality he originally had.
Afterward, Gilbert continued on his cultivation, while Han Shuo again attentively studied some abstruse necromancy magic books with diligence, not slacking for a moment. It was Han Shuo’s belief that the reason he could not grasp the Boundary of Aging all that while was that he was still lacking in his understanding of the essence of necromancy magic. He was convinced that once he accumulated insights up to a certain level, he would surely be able to make giant leaps in necromancy magic.
It was almost sunrise, Han Shuo was still meticulously studying, delving into abstruse necromancy magic books. All of a sudden, he felt a kind of palpitating feeling. Han Shuo furrowed his brows and immediately unfolded his consciousness. In an instant, he sensed a boundless killing intent that originated in the distant Tarrag Canyon.
Han Shuo was shocked and immediately realized that the six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race had re-established a link with him. It seemed that after such a long time, that six-horned tribal king must have recovered from the injuries he received during the battle with the Saintess of the Church of Light.
After the initial surprise, Han Shuo felt delighted. Being able to conceal his consciousness, Han Shuo had no need to be afraid of the menace of this six-horned tribal king. Han Shuo was certain that if Stratholme the old monster and Tiana had yet to fuse their souls with their Origin Crystals, the six-horned tribal king could certainly sense their presences as well.
All the while, Han Shuo had been brimming with regret for failing to draw the six-horned tribal king to the Shrine of Ice the last time. Now that the creature had made a comeback, contrary to what one might expect, Han Shuo was getting excited.
Thus, not only did Han Shuo wait to conceal his consciousness, instead, using the wonderful power of his consciousness, he transmitted a provocative vibe to the six-horned tribal king over at Tarrag Canyon of the Brut Merchant Alliance thousands of miles away. The transmission included Han Shuo’s feeling of despise and disdain towards him.
Sure enough, as soon as Han Shuo transmitted this provocative vibe, he could sense the fury of the six-horned tribal king. What made Han Shuo even happier was, he discovered that the six-horned tribal king was in motion, right towards where he was!
