Chapter 783: 409 Hit Three Birds with One Stone (4000)_2 Chapter 783: 409 Hit Three Birds with One Stone (4000)_2 He suddenly spoke up: “Did these two mention when that task is supposed to start? I have a feeling that they might still invite you two…”

“It seems to be in two or three months, after all, a lot of preparations are needed. Besides, the top knights of the Knight Rank are basically carrying out tasks everywhere in the Hong Li Empire. It might take this long to inform and invite most of them.” The Ghost Man glanced at the Iron Knight beside him: “As for us two, forget it. Even if they invite me, I will not go…”

The words of the Ghost Man were certainly comforting for Casio. He thought that Casio, who suddenly spoke, was worried that they would not be able to cooperate with him if they returned to the Black Rain Villa to carry out the task, which is why he explained. The Iron Knight and Ghost Man looked at each other and nodded at Casio.

Going back and executing the task with these two strongmen indeed had some benefits, but the cooperation with Casio was more comfortable. Just following Casio when exploring the World of Calamities is enough—someone to guide and someone to save them. The efficiency was high, and in less than a month they completed two precious tasks to promote their markers’ rights, which was almost effortless.

What they had to do was just to act as a middleman channel to exchange the resources Casio needed. They knew it was far better than the dangerous task masterminded by the Ripple Master. A task that required the assembly of the Black Dragon and Ripple Master was clearly perilous. If no knights died during the mission, the cautiousness of the two would be in vain. The Iron Knight and Ghost Man definitely did not want to be the knights who died.

In response to the two’s words of loyalty, Casio showed no relief, but instead said, “No, if they invite you two, you should go. Actually, I would go too…”

“Huh?” The Ghost Man was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant.

Casio’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Do you remember I asked before if there was an Ancient White Bone Tree in the Black Rain Villa?”

“The place where the Black Dragon and Ripple Master perform their tasks should be where I need to go. I was worried about how to get that Ancient White Bone Tree out of the Black Rain Villa—I even thought about launching a direct attack. Turns out, it is less troublesome. The Ancient White Bone Tree, being inside the Black Rain Villa, probably became a task prop and was taken out by them. Hahaha…”

Casio wore a somewhat cold smile on his face: “I was planning to take things slow at the Black Rain Villa. But since things have suddenly changed, let’s speed up the process these next two or three months. Both of you, listen up…”

His voice stopped, and his gaze slowly swept over the Ghost Man and the Iron Knight. The Library of Calamities fell silent, with only Casio’s words echoing.

“I have a way to let you markers completely escape the control of the Black Rain Villa, and you won’t be perpetually pursued by the Decayed Knights…” As these words left his mouth, two heavy breaths abruptly sounded.

The Ghost Man wobbled, and his scythe-holding right hand’s veins bulged, the tips of his fingers turning somewhat pale. There was a clear sound of swallowing saliva from the Iron Knight’s Armor mask. Both were extremely excited.

“Really or not? Wind Elephant, you… don’t lie to us…”

The Ghost Man’s words were somewhat incoherent.

“Lie to you? I never lie to my friends.” Casio slowly stood up from his seat and closed the book in his hand, placing it on the table. He looked at the two and said: “There is something in this world called a False Death Elixir, it can put a person into a completely breathless, deep sleep…”

“You just need to accept a task from the Black Rain Villa where the penalty for failure is imminent death and then intentionally fail to complete it. When the Decayed Knights appear, take the False Death Elixir—you can deceive the Decayed Knights and Black Rain Villa.”

The Iron Knight came out of his shock and asked a silly question.

“What if you’re lying to us?”

As soon as he finished, he realized how idiotic the question was. Of course, anyone who got their hands on this kind of false death elixir would first test it on others! He could just find a few more Eerie Night Guests to try it out, even at different strengths, and ensure it was safe before taking it himself. The Iron Knight laughed awkwardly, “Err, sorry, what I meant to ask is, do you have more of this potion?”

Casio nodded, “Don’t worry, I have plenty, and it’s been tested to be effective. However, this potion is currently in a relic…”

The eyebrows beneath Ghost Man’s mask twitched faintly, evidently noticing Casio’s claim that the potion had been tested. But he didn’t believe that Casio tested it. Perhaps a marker friend of Casio, who once attempted to escape the control of the Black Rain Villa, really found a way out amidst the numerous difficulties.

And Casio was involved throughout, knowing the most core information.

Ghost Man’s attention was here, while the Iron Knight’s attention was on the latter part: “Relic? So we need to enter that relic first and retrieve the potion…”

“No rush, first let me weed out the other little ones in this half month and become a Shadow Hunter. Once I’m free, I’ll take you guys along,” Casio paused, “And, about leaving the Black Rain Villa, we don’t need to rush. We could profit a lot from this final stage first, at least to complete some of the tasks Ghost Man accepted. My idea is, you guys could leave Black Rain Villa after the mission of the Ripple Master terrifying Black Dragon is over. This way, we should have two to three months of ample buffer preparation time.”

He picked up a book from the desk, placed it back in its original spot on the shelf, and continued, “There’s actually a lot of the false death elixir. We need more comrades, more friends…”

Casio gave a slight smile, looking at Ghost Man, “As markers who have broken away from the control of Black Rain Villa, undoubtedly we have common interests and topics. Perhaps, we should form an organization using the false death elixir to invite top Knight Rank individuals to join us. From what I see, the markers that the terrifying Black Dragon and Ripple Master want to invite are good. Why don’t you guys be the first batch to join their team and then volunteer to undertake the task of inviting other top Knight Rank individuals? What do you think?”

Ghost Man was initially taken aback, but then he suddenly laughed. He knew what Casio meant, it was nothing but a move in secret. Ghost Man and Iron Knight inviting other top Knight Rank individuals could entirely be like Casio tempting the two of them right now, using the false death elixir to tempt others. If they conduct a character study in advance and then select candidates, the success rate would be high. For those who didn’t succeed, naturally, they would be killed to prevent the news from getting out.

After doing this for two or three months, by the time the terrifying Black Dragon and Ripple Master lead the team to the Southeast Sea, half of the entire team might turn out to be undercover agents, plus a forcibly inserted Casio.

The hardworking terrifying Black Dragon and Ripple Master eventually might just be feeding a bridal outfit to Casio. In this process, Casio achieves his goal of exploring the Forever Islands, and the nascent form of an organization inviting top Eerie Night Guests also appears. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone, no, three birds. Because the Ancient White Bone Tree was also brought out by those two.

In this way, Casio only needs to get that bronze key to the relic from the Dark Hunt Organization’s treasure vault, and all his extra goals for this retrospection would be achieved. After that, he just needs to focus on dealing with the original host’s obsession.

Inside the Library of Calamities, Casio looked at the bookshelf, his eyes flashing slightly.

So, every time during the Era of Retrospection, apart from strength, the most important thing was the information difference unknown to others. Whether it was a piece of unknown Orchid Root Grass producing area or the current false death elixir in the Akaba Ruins. If used properly, both could provide him with great convenience…
