Chapter 227: Chapter 204 Nina’s Feeding!

Temporary recruitment?

Damn it!

The One-eyed Giant had said itself that it had guarded this place for far too long.

And now you’re telling me it’s a temp job?

Wu Xiaode narrowed his eyes but didn’t storm off.

Picking a fight now wouldn’t be good.

With his body feeling weak and his vision darkening, the only reason he could still stand was due to the support of the Deserted Sword Pillar imbued with Soul Power and the continuous technique of Life Force sustenance.

He truly couldn’t even lift his hands anymore.

Moreover, one after another, Demon Gods began to appear behind the middle-aged man.

One, two, three, four, five...

Not just six.

About a dozen or more.

It seemed that last time the White Tiger had taken him through many layers, directly to the floor where the Learning Type Demon King resided.

So the layer recorded in the Book of the Dead was which one?

It was for this reason that the Laws were willing to bestow upon him the highest degree of title.

"Hey, you’ve called so many buddies to hold the fort. Are you afraid we’ll create trouble, or do you intend to bury the incident right here?"

Wu Xiaode said impatiently.

"We won’t take action against those from outside the Sin Prison, after all, you are innocent," the middle-aged man said calmly.

It was laughable to hear such words from a man-eating Demon God, but Wu Xiaode’s mind was full of calculations—

Calculations on how to survive and leave this place!

"Perhaps it really was an accident, but there needs to be an end to this affair,"

Wu Xiaode said, waving his hand casually.

An object flew and landed at the middle-aged man’s feet.

The middle-aged man looked down to see a treasure chest inscribed with strange runes.

"I know your rule is to work for pay. These are your reward. Just tell me that name,"

Wu Xiaode said.

The middle-aged man looked at the treasure chest, initially dismissive, then took a closer look and his expression suddenly turned grave.

"Artifacts from the Death World..."

"Exactly, quite valuable even within our Empire," Wu Xiaode said.

"How do you have connections with the Death World?"

"That’s quite normal. The Bone Dragon is an ally of ours—of course, few believe this. But to find the true culprit, I’m willing to reveal such secrets."

He snapped his fingers.

The Book of the Dead, floating in mid-air, suddenly emitted waves of ice frost and a chilling breath.

—Those breaths came from bone dogs.

But the Book of the Dead was hidden in the Silent Demon Mist, and being a physical manifestation of Wu Xiaode’s Death Skill collection, the living couldn’t see it.

"Indeed, it’s the aura of the Bone Dragon..."

the middle-aged man murmured softly.

Wu Xiaode gestured, and all traces of the chilling ice vanished into thin air.

"You casually accept orders to kill our princess? Don’t underestimate the Auffa Empire, bastards," he growled lowly.

Nina’s eyes flickered, her lips tightly pressed together, not uttering a word.

She indeed didn’t know what to do.

But she knew that Wu Xiaode, equipped with the Battle Armor she had given him, truly came back to save her.

Right now.

—When you don’t know what to do, don’t say anything at all.

Let him handle it.

The middle-aged man’s brows slowly knitted together.

The Holy Saint Empire was not one to be trifled with.

Add to that this unclear-origin individual who even he couldn’t identify the race of.

They also held the friendship of the "Silent Secret Leader" and the "Dragon of the End."

This time, it appeared they had truly kicked an iron bucket.

—So they absolutely couldn’t admit to it, for admitting would bring trouble.

"Your Excellency, no one dares to underestimate the Auffa Empire. We would never get involved in affairs outside the Sin Prison—"

Wu Xiaode cut him off, "I know it wasn’t you, nor any of the other Demon Gods. It was the One-eyed Giant’s doing. It has paid the price."

"Exactly," the middle-aged man said.

The One-eyed Giant was dead.

How did it die?

It seemed there wasn’t much commotion from an intense battle...

Tsk.

Quite cunning.

"Of course you don’t know, but this is your turf; you could easily help me investigate," Wu Xiaode said.

He touched his ring again.

Another treasure chest rolled out, stopping right at the middle-aged man’s feet.

But this time, the chest struck a rock and instantly opened.

Clatter—

Pale high-level soul stones cascaded to the ground.

The Black Dragon’s breathing became rough and he quickly said,

"These are soul stones from the Death World, carrying a certain Power of Death, my lord."

The middle-aged man glared at her fiercely.

You care too much about these soul stones, idiot!

The Black Dragon immediately realized her mistake, hung her head in shame, and silently retreated to one side.

"Your Excellency, we can’t intervene in the conflicts of the outer world," the middle-aged man said earnestly.

"I just want that name!" Wu Xiaode roared.

The middle-aged man was about to refuse when Wu Xiaode suddenly transmitted a message, "I have a prophecy about you. If you want it, tell me that name."

"A prophecy? What kind?"

"Fate."

"...Your Excellency, that’s too valuable. I can hardly believe it," the middle-aged man said.

"Let’s consider it a deposit then. In two days, your underling, the Black Dragon, will die."

"Really?"

"You can watch and see. If it turns out to be true, then we can continue the rest of the trade, how about that?"

The middle-aged man stayed silent.

Fate.

Fate was the most mysterious and powerful among the three great Laws.

A genuine fate divination was invaluable, yet the other party was willing to use it in exchange for the name of the one who had killed Nina.

If that was the case, there was no point in attacking them.

If the other party could defeat the One-eyed Giant, and the sword technique he held in abeyance could even kill the Black Dragon outright.
