Chapter 202: Chapter 182: Its and His Secrets!

Current Role: Basic Squire.

Remaining Survival Time: 14 hours.

Attribute: Holy.

Skill: Sacrifice.

Wu Xiaode wandered around the pitch-dark graveyard and, finding no better occupation, took out the black Fist Wraps and put them on his hands.

——Try not to fight later.

The right approach is to achieve your goal quickly and then leave this place.

Just as he was about to activate "Crossing the Horizon", he suddenly heard a faint female voice near his ear.

Who?

Who else is in this graveyard?

Wu Xiaode listened carefully, but realized the voice was coming from some kind of magic fluctuation attached to him.

"Brother Wu... where are you?"

Oh.

So, it was the Enchanting Demon!

He had signed a contract with her that allowed communication.

Hadn’t she returned?

"I am still in the Death World, what’s up, something happened?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Can you teleport me over? I miss you," the Enchanting Demon said coyly.

"I’ve told you not to charm me — are you sure you don’t want to let me be?" Wu Xiaode replied coldly.

"Sorry," the Enchanting Demon hastily adjusted her tone, timidly saying, "Brother Wu, I want to continue following you."

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked brusquely.

"To film," the Enchanting Demon said.

Wu Xiaode glanced at his account with over eight hundred thousand Soul Powers—

Christina had contributed to this!

Forget it...

As long as she doesn’t charm me, it’s not impossible to negotiate.

Wu Xiaode also adjusted his tone, "The place I’m in now is very dangerous, you probably can’t make it over."

"No problem, I borrowed the World Transmission Device from the queen. As long as you agree, I can find you directly based on our communication contract and not alarm anyone," Christina said.

Wu Xiaode said, "Still, wait a bit, let me finish up things here first."

——He had the Silent Demon Mist and could turn into a Fog Shadow at any moment.

If the Enchanting Demon came and was caught by the bone dragons, that would be troublesome.

Better to wait until everything was over.

"Brother, I’m a very powerful new generation Enchanting Demon," Christina insisted, "Let me help you, I swear I won’t use the Charming Skill on you."

"Alright... then come over," Wu Xiaode said.

At this moment, his thoughts changed.

If the Enchanting Demon proved reliable in the upcoming battle, they could form a long-term partnership.

It’s just a gemstone, he could afford it.

But if she still planned to take her chances with him...

He wouldn’t be soft-handed either.

"Okay, thank you, brother," Christina said with a smile.

In front of Wu Xiaode, a splendid crimson light gradually appeared in the Void.

Christina appeared again.

She was still wearing the school uniform, without a hint of magical fluctuation on her, and her face lit up with joy upon seeing Wu Xiaode.

"Listen carefully, here’s the situation..."

Wu Xiaode explained everything to her.

Christina listened intently, then walked over to one of the many tombstones.

Wu Xiaode looked at that tombstone, which read:

"Role: Slave."

"Remainable Survival Time: 5 hours."

"Pressing your hand onto the tombstone can obtain the current role."

Christina pressed her hand onto the tombstone and immediately obtained a role card.

"Why choose the slave?" Wu Xiaode asked with a frown.

"Because a slave is the most unassuming presence, people generally won’t react in time when it’s time to act," Christina explained, holding the role card and showing it to Wu Xiaode.

On the card, there was an occupation introduction, and two lines of striking text:

"Initial skill: Slaying Master."

"——Even the lowest role has its own way to survive."

Wu Xiaode nodded, and stretched out his hand, saying, "Hold on to me, I’ll take you to the Church."

Christina took his hand, asking, "Will there be a fight?"

"We’ll avoid fighting as much as possible, I’m just here to take something and leave," Wu Xiaode said.

"Brother, be very careful not to alarm the bone dragon, it holds grudges," Christina said.

"I know."

Wu Xiaode’s figure flashed on the spot and disappeared.

The next instant.

He and the Enchanting Demon appeared together in the city, standing right in front of the Church’s main hall.

"Complete the task quickly, then partner up with Christina to earn Soul Powers... save up a few million, and then I can break through the One-eyed Giant’s game."

Wu Xiaode thought to himself, stepping towards the chapel.

The Enchanting Demon followed close behind.

"Wait for me outside, I’ll be right out," Wu Xiaode instructed.

She had to halt her steps.

Wu Xiaode dashed into the main hall.

There were indeed many people inside the hall.

Many believers were adorning the hall with fresh flowers.

Rows of elegantly crafted multi-tiered candelabra had been brought out, and all the candles lit up, reflecting the whole hall as if it were daytime.

The orchestra and choir members were performing hymns.

A figure resembling a bishop stood on a platform, leading everyone in loud prayer.

The moment Wu Xiaode entered, he saw the Dragon God statue.

It stood at the far end of the hall, towering in the center of the wall, with many candles lit beneath it and a rich array of offerings.

"I just stand outside and wait? I’m just a slave, what if someone asks me questions while waiting?"

Christina asked through telepathy.

"We are leaving right away."

Having said that, Wu Xiaode turned and left, quickly exiting the main hall.

Christina was surprised to see him come out so soon after entering, but she didn’t press for details and simply followed him outside.

The two walked along the main street beside the church.

"Where are we going?" Christina asked.

"There are too many people inside; it’s not convenient to take action—over here," Wu Xiaode said.

He led the Enchanting Demon through an alley beside the church, randomly chose a quiet house, and climbed in.

Inside the house, dust was everywhere, and a withered corpse hung from the beam, its time of death unknown.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the corpse, then around him, and said with satisfaction,

"Good, this is the place."

"Brother, what are we going to do?" Christina asked.

Wu Xiaode pulled a shovel out from behind his back.

"Holy Shovel."

"Divine Artifact, unique item."

"Usage Restriction: Only beings with Holy Power can wield it."

"Sole Function: To dig into any building’s corner."

"Effect 1: Every dig must break through;"

"Effect 2: Any excavation performed with this shovel is for the salvation of the world, the salvation of all beings, the support of justice, and the defeat of evil. Hence, the digging process is protected by Law and will not alert any being."

"—When you wield it, you will represent justice in your excavation."

This was still Little Ulysses’s possession.

But now, it was perfect for Wu Xiaode to use to dig a passage straight to the base of that Dragon God statue.

"You keep watch; I’ll dig," Wu Xiaode said.

"Alright," Christina said.

"Can I trust you?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course, our Enchanting Demon race is extremely vigilant. Any rustle or faintest clue can’t escape our perception," Christina said.

"Good, I’ll leave safety in your hands. I must start digging right away," Wu Xiaode said.

After speaking, he began to work, swinging the shovel.

He dug fast, and soon enough, a large hole appeared, and he disappeared into it, out of sight.

Another ten minutes passed.

All around was quiet.

The only sound was the faint digging coming from the hole.

The corpse on the beam suddenly moved slightly and floated down.

"Enchanting Demon, you know who I am," the corpse said in a hoarse voice.

"Ancient vampire, you’ve fallen behind the times, should have been obsolete by now. Why not just die peacefully? What good is clinging to life in this place?" Christina said softly.

"That kid down there doesn’t have much Soul Power; we can take him by surprise from behind," the corpse said.

"But he is my master; yet you want me to betray him," Christina chuckled.

"You know the nature of us vampires, and I know you Enchanting Demons always like to kill your masters—enough talk. When the time comes, we’ll strike together. His soul will be yours, and I don’t want his treasures—I only want his blood and time," the corpse said.

"...Okay," Christina said.

The corpse revealed a mocking smile and continued, "You find him, and I’ll hide in your shadow, go!"

"Go," Christina said.

The corpse leaned toward the ground, transforming into a wisp of shadow, merging with Christina’s shadow.

Christina stood still, lost in thought.

All remained quiet around her.

The continuous digging from underground was the only sound.

"Hurry up, take advantage of the fact he’s still digging the passage," the vampire urged.

"Hmm."

Christina responded with a hum, suddenly pulled out a whip, and lashed viciously at her own shadow.

Swish—crack!

In the loud sound of the strike, the vampire let out a short, agonized scream, immediately trying to escape from her shadow.

But suddenly, Christina had a lantern in her hand.

The lantern illuminated the surroundings, trapping the shadow firmly under her feet.

"Die already."

Christina drew a dagger and stabbed fiercely into her own shadow.

The dagger shook violently but she held it firmly in place.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Black blood gushed from the shadow.

Only then did Christina relax, sheathed the dagger and whip, and stood quietly in her original spot, maintaining a vigilant posture.

Wu Xiaode was standing in front of the window sill, watching up to this point.

The mist around him floated slowly, concealing all traces of his presence, sound, and scent, rendering him completely undetectable.

—Christina had killed the vampire.

Not bad.

Wu Xiaode nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the tunnel.

This Enchanting Demon wasn’t half bad.

At least for the moment, she was quite good.

He kept walking in the tunnel, all the way to the end of the excavated passage.

There, two bronze hands were suspended midair, tightly gripping the Holy Shovel, eagerly digging away.

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes to recall the layout of the Church, then pointed in a direction:

"Shift a bit this way; otherwise, you’ll miss the entrance to the treasure vault."

The two bronze hands indeed changed their direction and dug towards the spot he indicated.

Above ground.

Christina continued to keep watch.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice whispered in her ear:

"Christina, why did you not entertain the vampire’s suggestion?"

"Your Majesty?" Christina hurriedly attempted to curtsy.

"I wasn’t very reassured about you, so I followed to see... Answer my previous question," said the queen.

"Your Majesty, moments ago, grand hymns emanated from the Church, and many elaborately dressed Believers were coming and going. I surmised that the Bone Dragon was preparing for some ceremony," said Christina.

"And then? What does that have to do with your decision?" the queen asked.

"This young man obviously came for this purpose—strangely, he does not possess our exclusive Enchanting Demon talent, yet he is unaffected by the Bone Dragon’s Memory Manipulation, and he is even scheming something related to the Church—he has started digging a tunnel." Christina explained.

"Do you think that allowing him to continue digging will increase your gains?" the queen inquired.

"Yes, whether it is the secrets of the Bone Dragon or the purpose of this young man’s excavation, they should be very worthwhile for me to anticipate, after all—"

"Before these astonishing secrets, all wealth pales in comparison."

Christina said.

"Good, you did the right thing. Let’s see what will happen here,"

the queen said with a light laugh.
