Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 247: Chapter 235: Opponent (An extra release for the Alliance Hierarch, please put down your bowl!)

All were moved.

This Long Wu Baxter is so vicious!

—He seems completely different from his brothers!

The auctioneer on stage continued to call out the bids.

“330 Bone Coins for the first time!”

“330 Bone Coins for the second time!”

“330 Bone Coins for the third time—sold!”

Only a little over three hundred Bone Coins.

Furthermore, when Shen Ye was in Eternal Night City, he noticed that the prices weren’t high.

So how did Prince Norton collect so many Bone Coins?

He also has a Vampire Cloak.

Is he preparing to run away and become an Undead if something goes wrong?

Various thoughts flashed by.

Shen Ye stood up and followed the servant to see the slave he had purchased.

In a room.

Shen Ye saw Rosalia, who was tied up.

“It’s okay now. You guys leave first; I want to talk to her.”

He untied Rosalia.

“You must have already met my brother, Nix Baxter—What are your thoughts now?”

“Buying me was a mistake,” Rosalia said gravely.

“Where is the mistake?” Shen Ye asked.

“These people are inconspicuous in Hell because they prefer to keep a low profile. In reality, they are backed by Lord Tian Luo—he is an almost invincible existence,” Rosalia said.

…It seems there might be a play.

“Do you know why they prefer to keep a low profile?” Shen Ye asked.

“Because Hell was originally overseen by another lord. Lord Tian Luo doesn’t want to fall out with that lord, so he only secretly sent some people here without expanding his influence,” Rosalia said earnestly.

It was quiet all around.

Shen Ye could hear his own heartbeat.

That means—

Lord Tian Luo shouldn’t be stirring trouble in Hell.

But he covertly organized some people and sneaked into Hell.

What would Lord Nine Phases think?

Shen Ye took a slight breath to calm his nerves, though his face remained calm.

“Clearly, another lord is in charge of Hell… Yet, Tian Luo dares to encroach on this territory; we have in fact known about this for quite some time,”

“That’s also why I saved you,” he said.

Rosalia initially seemed indifferent, but soon something occurred to her, and she said with a grave expression:

“—Wait, could it be you are—”

Shen Ye said, “Yes, I work for Lord Nine Phases. Hell is our domain.”

“What if I don’t want to join you?” Rosalia said.

Shen Ye said, “The door is right over there. If you don’t wish to stay, you are free to go. I won’t force you to stay.”

Rosalia’s face showed struggle.

The big Skeleton watched indifferently, finally unable to suppress a telepathic message:

“What if she really leaves? Wouldn’t your money be wasted?”

“Are you suggesting that by refusing my offer, she would offend both Tian Luo and Lord Nine Phases in Hell?” Shen Ye asked.

The big Skeleton fell silent.

If this Rosalia was truly foolish to that extent—

Then she wouldn’t be worth recruiting.

Rosalia hesitated for a long time before finally asking:

“What tasks would I have.”

“None for now. I’ll have tasks for you when I think of them—but I assure you, they certainly won’t be those foolish suicidal missions,” Shen Ye said.

“Alright, do we need to sign a contract?” Rosalia asked.

“No need,” Shen Ye waved his hand.

“You don’t need a contract?” Rosalia asked in surprise.

Shen Ye said disdainfully, “Are you planning to betray Lord Nine Phases in Hell? I really can’t fathom what your end would be.”

“…You’re right,” Rosalia said, bowing her head.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Shen Ye said.

The servant came in with a Skeleton radiating dark light.

“Baxter, this is our Battle Beast Arena’s supervisor, Black Flame,” said the servant.

The Skeleton dressed in a proper black evening suit surveyed Shen Ye up and down:

“Long Wu Baxter, you said you’d pay a hundredfold in Bone Coins to kill that man.”

“What’s the original price?” Shen Ye asked.

“Considering that their territory is still expanding, killing him would cost 3,000 Bone Coins,” the Black Flame Skeleton said.

“Then according to the agreement, I’ll pay three hundred thousand Bone Coins,” Shen Ye said.

He gestured with his Ring.

The large table in the room was instantly piled with Bone Coins, stacking all the way up to the ceiling.

The Black Flame Skeleton glanced at it and took a deep breath:

“Mr. Long Wu, Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses is vast in size, comparable to any city in the mortal world. There are millions of Undead Souls.”

“Powerful masters are abundant, and various forces stake their claims here, fierce and powerful.”
