Chapter 490: Chapter 350: Merchants Gather, The Strong Converge! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

Everyone else was being impersonated by Thousand Faces.

One person, Thousand Faces!

Goodness! Just thinking about it is kind of terrifying, eh?

Oh, Thousand Faces is one of us? Then it’s no problem.

After all, Thousand Faces’ espionage abilities were already maxed out. Back in the day, even when he was weaker, he could infiltrate the ranks of the Heretical Cult, and now...

Fang You stroked his chin.

"Can the legendary skill ’Endless Shadow’ replace the minions of the Evil God without the higher-ranking minions noticing anything amiss?"

"It’s worth a try. After all, the ability to save one’s life is too strong. Even the demigod-level Blood Emperor can’t do anything to Thousand Faces," Fang You mused.

So,

the obvious target to test this on would be...

Blending in with the Blood Emperor’s followers who were blockading the passages around the Falling Star Pit.

As for the task of spying on the City of Fallen Stars to obtain precise information, there’s no need to abandon that – just proceed on both fronts.

"With Thousand Faces’ ’Endless Shadow’ deployed, the number of shadow incarnations would seem infinite. We’ll never lack for agents. Even once Thousand Faces ascends to mythic status or even higher, he/she alone could establish an intelligence department," Fang You thought to himself.

Of course, Instructor Fang isn’t a devil; the intelligence department would still need other members.

He was just thinking that if Wang Chui and Silverbell could also learn this skill, Flamefire’s production of equipment and potions wouldn’t be an issue.

"Perhaps Thousand Faces could find some master smiths to replicate it. But when it comes to devouring and replacing others, one must be cautious. This skill can’t be misused; I have to remind Thousand Faces about this."

Spend over a hundred thousand fate points to create such a skill, and it would be an understatement to describe it as a bargain.

Was there any other major figure he had forgotten about?

Probably not.

Yet it felt like there was?

...

Blue Star, Shui Ze Base City, Flamefire Training Camp.

In a small attic located in a remote area, which all the passing trainees looked at with admiration, the sound of rapid typing filled the air.

Before a high-end desktop computer, on an ergonomic chair, there was a black cat squatting. Its fur was pitch-black, and both its head and body were somewhat overweight. The cat’s eyes shimmered like jewels, fixed intently on the ever-changing computer screen.

At the same time, from the black cat’s body, numerous black threads spread out. They twisted and wrapped around, forming several thick ropes, like human fingers typing away on the keyboard. The rapid tapping noise originated from this.

After a while,

when the screen switched to display the big bold words ’Victory’ along with the sound of cheers, the squatting black cat leaned back in its chair, its tail wagging joyfully as it let out a contented meow.

"18 wins in a row, truly worthy of meow-self~!"

"Life doesn’t get any better than this meow~!"

It skillfully summoned an unseen hand, opened the fridge not far away, and took out a can of happy fat cat soda. With the same invisible hand, it twisted off the lid and drank with gusto.

Eating, sleeping, gaming – this is the life a cat should live!

Fighting Mysterious Evil and such is just too tiring, meow.

...

...

Oasis Two, Blazing Fire Mall.

Located at the southern gate of the mall, after two months of development, a sizable marketplace had formed, buzzing with many Awakeners clad in armor and brandishing swords, hawking their goods like ordinary peddlers, all striving to plump up their wallets.

Most of them were freelance mercenaries, commerce guild escorts on leave seeking to diversify their income, or strong individuals from an Oasis.

Their numbers were not very large.

The permanent population of the entire mall was not necessarily larger than that of the neighboring Streetlamp Town Oasis, but the bustle of this makeshift market easily surpassed that of Streetlamp Town by tenfold, if not a hundredfold.

After all, the number of Awakeners from Streetlamp Town capable of venturing far from the Oasis to explore was less than a handful.

Here? Almost anyone had the ability to delve deep into the Grey Mist Area, hunting Mysterious Evil, seeking resources, and upon returning to the Oasis Mall, they would find ways to sell their trade gains, or sell directly to the Blazefire Commerce Guild.

It’s just that selling to the guild meant getting squeezed too hard on the price.

"I didn’t expect that in just a short two months, this place could become so bustling," exclaimed Lote, the leader of the Warfire Mercenary Group.

His armor was covered in numerous scratches, his hair disheveled, and the sword in his hand yet sheathed, signaling he had just returned from outside, having just crossed over from another domain.

Yes, he had taken on another contract.

Escort a caravan back to the Shattered Sea·Scarlet Lotus Empire, then guide another caravan to this place. After making the journey back and forth twice, Lote had certainly richened his experience.

"There wasn’t even a trace of a market when I left, and to think it has changed so much. It looks like quite a few people are planning to settle here?"

"But the development of Blazing Fire Mall benefits me too. We can continuously take on escort work from the Scarlet Lotus Empire to Blazing Fire Mall... Walking the same route repeatedly is far safer than blazing a new trail," he reflected.

He had spotted a business opportunity.

After bidding farewell to the caravan he had escorted, he began to chat with the stall owners in the market, where, in this place, Lote also came across a few familiar faces.

"Did Captain Lote make a hefty profit again?"

"A small profit, nothing compared to Boss Wang’s big business deals."

"Which caravan were you escorting this time?"

"I can share that. It’s from the Wutie and Wensen families of the Scarlet Lotus Empire, both of which are grand lord families, greatly wealthy. I reckon they came for the auction... Alas, if the auction weren’t so soon, I would have made a few more trips."

Shattered Sea is unlike Falling Star Pit.

There, only super Oasis nations exist, with all Great Oases and regular Oases being territories under various empires and dynasties, hence often referred to by family names or lord titles.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these lord families have to pay tribute to the Empire. These families with long histories and rich heritage are far wealthier than large Oases like Sword Flower City or the Wave City-states.

The Shattered Sea domain has always been a symbol of might.

In the midst of their conversation, the Grey Mist in the distance churned, and another well-equipped squad entered the Oasis gradually. Following dozens of cavalry, the airship suspended dozens of meters high in the sky, glinting in the sunlight with dazzling brilliance.

"It’s the Blazing Heart, people from the Kalien family have arrived!"

"The Kalien family with significant influence even within the Scarlet Lotus Empire? It’s said they have a mythological ancestor!"

"Another powerful caravan has come, look at the emblem—it’s the Guyue forest family!"

"The Seven Stars alliance, people from the Sixth Star Island have arrived."

"That must be from the Pale Cemetery of the Great Domain of Buried Bone Land, I didn’t expect their typically aloof nature to bring them traversing this far."

As if they had agreed upon the time, with the two-month mark approaching, one mighty group after another arrived at Blazefire Commerce City.

Among them were the renowned Six Senses who had made a name for themselves across various Great Domains, but today, these well-known powerhouses were all gathering in this humble Oasis.

Many mercenary leaders were surprised.

The items Blazefire Commerce Guild was putting up for auction seemed... even more important than they had imagined.
