Chapter 1319: Chapter 963, You Really Deserve to Die_2
Hadara pierced his fingertip, a bead of blood dripping onto Du Crow’s forehead, "The assistance team will still go to confirm post-war procedures."
Du Crow flapped its wings and drilled into the void.
Hadara continued, "Bruno, you still need to go once, no need to rush, you can depart in a couple of days."
"Understood!" The Dwarf Leader nodded again.
"For now, let’s leave it at that, everyone go handle their own matters." Hadara said.
The two Heroes got up and left, leaving only Hadara and the Ghost in the meeting room.
"Hadara, we are allies!" the Religious Leader said in a deep voice.
Hadara sighed softly, "The Holy Court has indeed gone too far, the Body Restoration Association will keep an eye out, you don’t need to do anything else, that’s all I can do."
The Religious Leader wanted to say more, but held back the words.
Just then, the door opened, and a Priest walked in.
After saluting Hadara, he left with the Religious Leader, holding the Demon Soul Pot.
...
Religious Leader’s study.
The Demon Soul Pot was placed on the mahogany desk, the Priest saluted the pot, then left the room.
Saidu’s ghostly figure emerged from the Demon Soul Pot, coalescing into a human form in mid-air.
"Damn kid!" Saidu cursed.
Just then, his gaze fell on the desk, on a brand-new edition of the Gold and Silver Island News.
The large headline in the middle of the front page caught his eye.
[Holy War Failed! The Pope fell, the Religious Leader’s body destroyed!]
The accompanying image showed the burning and sinking ships of the Holy Court.
"You...!" Saidu’s Soul twisted violently, the unstable Ghost began to disperse.
He reached out to tear the newspaper, but his translucent hand couldn’t grasp any objects.
The Demon Soul Pot suddenly generated a strong suction, forcibly pulling his near-disintegrating spirit back.
Before being completely drawn back, Saidu’s eyes caught sight of a small ad below, [Demon Soul Pot Maintenance Package Hot Sale! Buy two get one free, limited-time offer!]
"Wu Heng, I am eternally enmity with you."
...
Wudu!
On the streets shrouded in clouds, the dampness was visible on the corners and ground.
It was like the clouds before a downpour on Gold and Silver Island, things could be seen clearly, but the sunlight couldn’t penetrate the clouds.
After returning to the city with the Blood Clan army, Lilith began the next actions with her group.
Without other Heroes posing a threat, there was no need for Wu Heng to continue following.
He took the Ghost with him and strolled leisurely through the streets.
The ordinary residents’ lives seemed unaffected.
Lilith and that middle-aged Hero both aimed to become the Blood Clan Leader, and the battle was kept away from the city.
Ordinary residents didn’t even know what had happened.
"Sir! Top-quality ebony coffin!" the coffin shop owner enthusiastically lifted the lid of a carved coffin, "It has a woolen cushion inside, soft and comfortable!"
Wu Heng glanced at the velvet lining inside the coffin and waved his hand, "Not needed."
"Customer, would you like a cane to signify your status?" the proprietress of the neighboring store cheerfully invited, "You’re so handsome, it fits you perfectly, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount."
"Top-quality tailcoat, we can tailor it for you..."
Perhaps because Wu Heng was dressed well and didn’t look like a local.
Shopkeepers along the street were enthusiastically greeting him.
But the style of the Blood Clan truly didn’t suit his aesthetic, Lilith’s fashion sense was entirely supported by her appearance.
"Everything here is so strange." Xiao Xiao muttered beside him.
Bella said, "I just came out of the tavern, and they sell blood-flavored wine in there, a mix of various creatures’ blood, it made me feel so uncomfortable~!"
Glenda flew on the other side, "Probably because of different lifestyle customs."
"I wanted to buy some gifts for my mom, but with all this, I’d get scolded when I return!" Xiao Xiao said, folding her arms helplessly.
Wu Heng walked forward, his gaze landing on a shop sign [Black Bat Corner], with ’Various Magical Props’ written on the door.
Magical Prop shop.
"Let’s go, let’s check out the Magical Prop shop." Wu Heng said.
The interior decor of the shop was exceptionally gloomy.
Various props hung on the walls, but their design still conformed to the Blood Clan’s preferences.
"What do the guests need? The shop just got a new batch of props; I can introduce them to you if you need," a middle-aged shopkeeper came out, his eyes crimson, his manners very courteous.
"Just looking around, don’t follow me," Wu Heng said.
"Okay, take your time. If you need anything, just call me," the middle-aged shopkeeper stepped aside.
Looking at each attribute one by one.
Xiao Xiao’s voice sounded from his shoulder, "Uncle, there’s an umbrella over there, the same kind as Sister Lilith’s."
Wu Heng looked towards the inside, and the black parasol hung on the wall.
[Parasol]
(Description: A magical prop engraved with ’Eclipse’ and ’Defense’ array patterns, which can effectively block sunlight and, when attacked, can deploy a shield.)
It’s only the color and design that resemble Lilith’s umbrella.
On Lilith’s umbrella, you can see intricate, beautiful patterns, while this umbrella is predominantly black.
But the effect is also good, effectively blocking sunlight and providing defense.
"How much is the umbrella?" Wu Heng looked at the shopkeeper beside him.
The middle-aged shopkeeper, who had been paying attention over here, immediately smiled, "The guest has a good eye; this umbrella is a master-level creation, effective against sunlight and defensive against crossbow arrows, priced at 75 silver each."
The prices in the Blood Clan are not cheap.
"I want three, and ten each of the Flame Ring and Protection Pendant," Wu Heng looked at the shopkeeper again, "Will you give me a discount if I buy so many? If not, I’ll buy elsewhere."
"Discounts, discounts! How can I not give you a discount when buying so many things? Certainly won’t let you down," the shopkeeper immediately smiled.
He then quickly started calculating the price, saying, "A total of 975 silver coins, giving you a 20% discount, 780 silver!"
"Okay," Wu Heng nodded.
The shopkeeper immediately had someone start preparing, his face full of smiles.
Very soon, the items were packed, and Wu Heng paid the amount and turned to leave with his things.
...
Returning to the central palace.
The old butler beside Lilith led the way, "The dinner is ready; the lady is waiting for you to come over."
They walked all the way to the dining room.
The glow stones on the copper candlesticks illuminated the dining room with a warm, elegant atmosphere.
Accustomed to the electric lights on the Gold and Silver Island, the lighting here seemed much dimmer.
Lilith sat at the head of the long table, her hair cascading like a waterfall, particularly eye-catching against the dark red velvet chair back.
The old butler respectfully pulled out a chair for Wu Heng, whispering, "Considering your dietary habits, tonight’s dishes have been specially prepared."
The table was filled with exquisite dishes.
Familiar ones like venison topped with black truffle sauce, foie gras, and various fresh fruits and vegetables.
Apparently, there were no heavy-flavored foods of the Blood Clan at the dinner.
Xiao Xiao floated above the dining table, "Sister, you prepared so many delicious things."
"Coming to support me, naturally, I can’t let you feel left out," Lilith smiled lightly, an uncommon occurrence.
"The Blood Clan pursues sensory enjoyment," Lilith continued, "Many nobles still maintain human-like living habits; gourmet food and fine wine are popular, but outsiders always misunderstand that we only crave blood."
Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.
Were it not for seeing with his own eyes, Bella had indeed seen blood wine being sold in the tavern on the street.
He might really have believed it.
Lilith glanced over as the old butler walked to a corner of the dining room and lightly tapped a giant conch.
Soothing ethereal music flowed from the conch, echoing throughout the dining room.
Xiao Xiao immediately flew over, curious and poking her head inside to inspect.
"Actually..." Lilith suddenly spoke, "Zoltan used to be my mentor."
Wu Heng slowed his movements, listening intently.
"He taught me magic, combat, and also how to survive in the Blood Clan society," Lilith’s gaze penetrated the illuminating stone, as if gazing into a distant past, "Later, I joined the association and acquired new beliefs: the Blood Clan raising blood slaves and plundering all life forms... like some primitive, unrefined race. To protect the Blood Clan from the association’s grip, I had no choice but to do so..."
The outside was growing grimmer, and the room was becoming brighter.
Xiao Xiao flew back, saying, "Sister, don’t be sad. You did the right thing, Uncle avenged you."
Lilith revealed a smile again, suddenly changing the topic, "Tomorrow, I’ll take you to play at the Blood Crystal Pool."
"Great!" Xiao Xiao immediately agreed and asked, "What is that?"
"It’s a holy place for the Blood Clan; those not at the core can’t enter," Lilith said mysteriously.
"Really? Then I’ll go in invisibly," Xiao Xiao got even more excited.
"Sure."
Seated opposite, Wu Heng watched Xiao Xiao and the Blood Clan Leader chatting happily.
