Chapter 210: Chapter 208: Pattern_1

This is a detoxifying and healing spiritual pill, up to tier-4!

Moreover, it is a very rare universal type among detoxifying elixirs. Ordinary poisons can be directly cured after taking them, and even some extremely rare potent poisons can be relieved so as to buy time for finding the specific antidote.

Although the demand for this kind of spiritual pill seems small, when the time comes to use it, it can save lives.

Owen Bertram smirked, realizing that to reach the first level of the Dao Tower Realm, he would still have to rely on the Jade Seal in his hand.

He patted Julian Gourd and said to his younger brother inside, "Empty your stomach, and I’ll give you the Jade Seal tomorrow."

Little Loach happily wagged his tail in the water.

Owen Bertram counted his gains from this time and then laughed crookedly.

No wonder there was a saying in his previous life, "Small Hidden in the Wild, Middle Hidden in the Market, Grand Hidden in the Court." Look at how much you can earn while doing things for the Imperial Court.

In comparison, those so-called sects and schools would fight to the death for a treasure, and even a single martial skill could cause a bloodbath in the martial world... Such a small pattern.

Once the matter is raised to the level of the Imperial Court, all values swell rapidly.

"The next task must also be done well!" Owen Bertram planned ahead, "The affairs of Casterly County may not seem as important as the Henry Case, but if done well, they can be a long-term source of income."

"To know your friends and enemies is the key to victory. Master Lane needs to resolve the Henry Case first to promote the matter of Casterly County. However, I can start arranging things beforehand."

"According to the information David revealed to me before leaving, Prescott of Casterly County may not willingly let the treasury mines in his territory fall into the hands of others. I just don’t know if there is anyone supporting him behind the scene."

"None of the people under me is suitable to go to Casterly County in advance to gather information."

"On the other hand, someone like Sophia would be quite useful."

Owen Bertram had made up his mind, looked at the late hour, and closed his eyes, focusing his main mind on the Ghost Zone.

...

During these days, business in the "Ten Percent Pawn" was being run by the Bat Taoist. Unlike the Lord, the Bat Taoist’s ghost origin was the spy of the Nanni Nation. So, Owen Bertram had no hesitation in wiping out the ghost’s consciousness, and he had to control himself.

If the Bat Taoist could change his ways, he could be set free.

During the time Owen Bertram was working on the case in Darnell Manor, the Lord had been sleeping in the Back Hall of Ten Percent Pawn.

However, having the Bat Taoist mind the business was more suitable than having the Lord do it.

First of all, the Bat Taoist had extensive experience and had traveled around to see more things than the ghost spirits and cultivators in the Ghost Zone. Secondly, he had a deep understanding of treasure materials, almost on par with Owen Bertram, and could handle pawning in this area as well.

Moreover, the Bat Taoist was very smooth and got along well with the great ghosts and little ghosts here. Even in just a few days, he became familiar with the patrolling Ghost Knights and even established a relationship with Butcher Maxwell, often inviting him for drinks.

When Owen Bertram attached his consciousness to the scene, the Lord stretched his waist lazily on the bed in the Back Hall and woke up with a groan. He walked around with his hands behind his back to the front. As soon as the Bat Taoist had sent off a group of customers, he immediately stepped down from the counter, bowed with a fist, and said, "Host."

As the Lord nodded his head and was about to speak, he suddenly saw a bamboo hat appear at the door and felt a moment of guilt.

Sophia walked in and waved to the Bat Taoist, "You step aside."

The Bat Taoist, being tactful, knew from the situation that this woman’s relationship with the host was not ordinary. He silently slipped into the Back Hall. Moreover, as a ghost, his body control was extremely precise, and both ears shut down: I hear nothing.

Sophia came up and tried to scratch the Lord’s face! It was a standard move for a little wife dealing with an unfaithful husband.Lord struggled awkwardly, and yelled in anger and frustration, "What are you doing? What the hell are you doing?"

By chance, several Little Ghosts had just obtained mysterious treasure and wanted Lord to have a look at it. When they entered and saw the scene, they were dumbstruck. Then they became excited and stood at the doorway, neither coming in nor going out, clapping their hands and saying, "You guys go first, we’ll wait. We’re not in a hurry."

Lord was furious, and with a roar, his ghostly energy created a gust of wind, blowing the Little Ghosts out of the doorway. Then, the door panels flew up and slammed shut!

The Little Ghosts, not knowing any better, stumbled to the ground, got back up, checked that they weren’t hurt, and immediately pressed their faces against the door to eavesdrop, their eyes shining.

Sophia gritted her teeth and was about to pounce on him again. The Lord, relying on his ghostly body, dodged among the counter and chairs, shouting, "Enough! Aren’t you a well-known ferocious character? Why are you acting like a shrew on the street?"

Sophia growled harshly, "You old pervert, I almost got killed this time because of your scheme!"

Lord stuck his head out from above a tall cabinet, dissatisfied, "What did I do to you? Wasn’t the clue I gave you useful? Didn’t you gain anything from it?"

Sophia had to admit that she had made a considerable profit by following the clue about the Ghost Army, which relieved her financial pressure. Otherwise, her household would’ve run out of money.

"But this time, I got ambushed by a Fifth Great Realm, and almost died in the dungeon!" Sophia angrily shouted, then kicked the cabinet Lord was hiding in, breaking it to pieces.

Lord floated out and said, "Who’s to blame? Did I tell you to investigate that clerk?"

Sophia was furious, "You men always find excuses!"

Lord was annoyed, "Don’t make false accusations. The Prince Henry case was a matter of everyone relying on their own skills. If your abilities aren’t good enough or your luck is bad, who’s to blame?"

At this point, he couldn’t help but make another sarcastic remark, "You shouldn’t always look so gloomy. A girl who loves to smile will have better luck..."

"I’ll tear you apart, you perverted bastard!"

Lord suddenly opened his mouth, releasing a thin strand of Huangquan Power, which threatened Sophia’s forehead like a flying needle. "Alright, I’ve let you vent your anger, but if you don’t know your limits, I’m going to lose my temper."

Sophia gritted her teeth, put her hands down, and turned to leave.

"Hold on," Lord said, "You’re short on money, right? I have a business deal, and we can continue to work together."

Sophia snorted coldly. She didn’t agree nor refuse and kicked open the door and left.

Lord called out from behind, "The price is negotiable..."

Sophia didn’t bother with him.

As she walked around the Ghost Zone, Sophia’s thoughts perked up: such a rich and prosperous Ghost Zone! If she could take it for herself, she wouldn’t have to worry about money ever again.

However, that skeleton and the Judgment Officer would be tough to handle.

While observing the Ghost Zone, she secretly calculated in her heart how to make this place her own.

Suddenly, the entire Ghost Zone quieted down, and everyone’s eyes turned towards one spot. Only the old members of the Ghost Zone knew that this was the small building where the King of Souls was in seclusion.

An immense aura, like a dense fog, enveloped the entire Ghost Zone. Although it was brightly lit, it became a bit dimmer. A huge face appeared in the sky above the Ghost Zone, its eyes slightly moving as it looked down.

Everyone felt as if that look pierced through all of their secrets!

Sophia couldn’t help but tremble, mentally exclaiming in terror: Tier-6 Power!
