Chapter 392: Chapter 332: Hidden Methods for Trading with ’Red Names

After hearing about Lind’s arrival, the Crystal Mage and Wen immediately rushed over. They were worried that the Riven Soldiers were only devoted to City Lord Wen Ruien and upsetting the imposing lion was definitely not correct.

When they saw Lind actually sitting and chatting with the soldiers, they stopped in their tracks and chose not to get closer.

The distance was enough for Lind to notice them, but their pause also symbolized a reluctance to disturb.

"He possesses a special ability," the Crystal Mage couldn’t help but comment.

A person with great power can easily display their charismatic personality, as long as they are willing to bend down and show their approachable side.

But many people are unable to do this.

Wen then said, "The lady he mentioned doesn’t seem to be Tione."

She just doesn’t want to spend time on trivial matters, which doesn’t mean she can’t think about emotional issues.

"Yes," the Crystal Mage was more convinced, and then added, "but she owns a castle."

Right in the back of her mind.

Lind could see the fragments of Tione’s Ring of Magic, and of course, the Crystal Mage could see them too.

In his magic wand was a fragment, a very small piece, incomparable to Tione’s, so he knew how terrifying Tione was.

Recently, he had been trying to discuss Tione with Lind, although Lind hadn’t avoided the topic despite Tione being his fiancée, they had no solution whatsoever.

The only thing they could do was hope that Tione would not go mad, otherwise, if she planted several more mushrooms, no one would be able to stop her.

The colorful jokes at a distance were still continuing.

From a female perspective, it was distasteful, but Lind was so forthright.

Ultimately, the two decided to leave rather than to enter.

It might sound absurd, but the Crystal Mage and Wen worried that their arrival might disturb the Riven Soldiers.

Because they seemed unable to bend like Lind could.

Knowing how to do it is easy, but actually doing it is difficult.

As Wen and the Crystal Mage were leaving, Lind glanced over at them twice. Then, he heard the "love story" next to him and began to laugh and chat again.

Chatting with the soldiers was interesting, much more so than dwelling alone in the vast estate.

He also wanted to learn about the operational state of Raven City from the Riven Soldiers; the chaos within the city could breed many pests, and tackling them from the root would save a lot of trouble.

Having Lania as the queen had its benefits; he could delegate these issues to her and let her worry about them.

Meanwhile, he also browsed official website news, not expecting any major gains, but at least to get a sense of the situation within and around the Rand Kingdom.

For example, the situation with some of the undead in the Black Marsh Kingdom wasn’t very optimistic. These undead were treated as a kind of calamity and were caught and imprisoned in a high-mountain jail, guarded by a level 45 monster.

Level 1 undead facing a level 45 red-name boss, no matter their numbers, couldn’t dream of escaping.

Aside from the Rand Kingdom, the undead are basically despised in other regions; even though they can destroy calamities and are fearless in the face of death, after helping others, they are likely to receive a reward and then an additional spit in their face.

If any undead chose to fight back, it would be even worse, good deeds stay within, but bad news spreads far— all undead would be treated like plague bearers, and other undead could forget about continuing their normal activities as all NPCs would refuse to cooperate.

There have already been numerous cases of undead "slaughtering villages."

People online are even less able to control their temper, especially when they have swords and can outfight the others.

By the way, Moktelyria Province in the Black Marsh Kingdom was also at odds with the king.

The feeling of being able to decide victories from thousands of miles away pleased Lind.

The Ring Scholars who were "keen on plot investigation" and the scholars who "study ecology" were his eyes across the world; although they couldn’t see through all the fog, they ensured he wasn’t completely ignorant about everything.

A video caught Lind’s attention; it wasn’t very popular and had been around for several days.

"What kind of death mission is this!"

Death mission? Could it be another noble?

He clicked on the video.

The beginning showed four Undead preparing to sneak into a village ahead, today they were playing "Bandit Simulator."

Feeling good, so wanting to do something bad; feeling bad, so still wanting to do something bad—there was no rationale, typical of the chaotic nature of the Undead.

Lind was just casually watching the video when he saw the Two-Headed People suddenly rush out from the village, which slightly changed his expression.

Two-Headed People, theoretically, should only appear near Star Dragon City.

"Damn, an assassin?" In the video, an Undead was suddenly struck through by an enemy who appeared before him.

Then Fireballs appeared, which made Lind one hundred percent certain that early-made Magic Potions from Star Dragon City had leaked.

To the Undead, the flawed Magic Potions that could only be enhanced to level 11 were now useless, like a chicken rib. But for ordinary people, getting the formula for Magic Potion and then obtaining a complete Heart of Calamity was difficult; even cheap Magic Potions could enhance their strength.

"Is that really a village of Red-Name Monsters?" an Undead in the video couldn’t help but complain.

They were utterly beaten.

"Could someone be selling things to them?"

"Can you trade with Red-Name Monsters?"

"That’s true."

Lind turned off the video. The village in the video was called Swamp Mud Village. He wasn’t sure which noble’s territory it belonged to, but if they had a way to acquire things from Star Dragon City, it likely meant a NPC Pharmacist from their own ranks had defected.

It was unlikely, since following Lind was exhausting, but there was definitely only he in the Kingdom would provide various resources at all costs.

Thus, it must be the Undead who had mastered a method of trading with NPCs outside themselves.

Not trading with NPCs from "Newbie Village," but with the hostile Red-Name Monsters.

Lind only hoped to channel resources to himself; he never intended to let others buy his goods and then sell them to forces outside of his, helping the enemy grow stronger.

Some "spies" who only cared about profit had emerged beside him, and Lind was indeed weary.

He needed to find out how the Undead weretrading.

...

The stallions stopped to drink water by the river while the Witch, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, also took out a bag of water from her pack.

The accompanying Soldiers sighed in relief; the long journey and relentless travel had exhausted them physically and mentally.

"Where have we arrived?" The Witch didn’t sit down, but kept pacing back and forth.

An accompanying Female Knight pulled out a map: "Six days ago we passed Snake Catcher Fortress, it was in ruins; I think now we are drawing close in the direction of Raven City."

They had set off from Star Dragon City upon receiving the Lord’s command and hadn’t stopped along the way, even feeding potions to the stallions to restore their strength.

But the mental exhaustion was hard to bear.

"What about heading to Goliath?" the Witch asked.

"The map suggests from here, it’s best through Black Hoof Village; the food and water we carry aren’t enough to last us to Goliath," said the Female Knight.

"Then let’s go through Black Hoof Village."

Indeed, there were those who followed Lind even when he had nothing, not just after he became General.
