Chapter 497: Chapter 411 Loyal Undead_2

"Black Marsh Kingdom has countless treasures," the Bloodless Prince suddenly paused, seemingly remembering that this group was about to conquer the Black Marsh Kingdom, with only Thousand Faces City still desperately holding on. Ordinary rewards probably wouldn’t catch their eyes.

"I can give you Blessed Weapons." He gritted his teeth; obtaining Blessed Weapons wasn’t easy for him.

"What?"

"Holy shit, isn’t this that previous mission!" I caught Pikachu and then realized.

Previously, the Rand Kingdom had issued a long-term quest for the Undead to hand over various Blessed Weapons, which could earn them substantial rewards.

But the Undead had never seen such things; they only knew that Lind’s weapon seemed to be a Blessed Weapon.

Someone had posted on the forum, stating that Blessed Weapons possessed stronger attribute enhancements than ordinary weapons, with few negative effects. Equipping them would significantly boost one’s strength, and the weapons also had a special property of never losing durability.

Good stuff!

But it wasn’t enough.

"How many do you have?"

"What?" The Bloodless Prince thought he had misheard.

How many? Isn’t one enough?

"One, it can bring the blessing of moonlight and heal any injuries." Ostis had managed to get this far, not without the help of treasures.

Although the healing was slow, it could heal anything, as long as there was enough time, there would be no lingering issues.

Ostis didn’t want to hand it over, and he thought the Undead wouldn’t accept it, but no matter, this was just a conversation starter; the key part was yet to come.

Leggy Beauty reacted faster, saying in the group chat, "I think there are two ways to go about this quest, one is to agree with him, then we go back and take out Rania, Crimson Knight, Tione... Lind."

As he named each person, the expressions of the Undead changed.

Rania, such a beautiful and noble Queen, even if she stepped on my face wearing black stockings, I wouldn’t get angry. How could I possibly take action against him!

This is the finish line, switch to white stockings and keep stepping.

Crimson Knight, somewhat tough.

Tione... Nuclear Bomb Nun, dealing with her is like planting mushrooms.

Lind? Me, fight Lind?!

Is it you who’s crazy or me?

"The second option, we pretend to agree, then report back to Lind, and I think that’s the correct way to progress in the game, letting Lind handle the Bloodless Prince himself and take away the Blessed Weapon. Who knows, it might unlock new equipment."

Everyone’s eyes lit up—actually, there might be something to that!

If each person present could get their hands on a weapon or some equipment, without unequal divvying up, they really could strike back at Lind.

But the benefits offered by the Bloodless Prince were not sufficient.

The benefits weren’t enough to make them give up the War Points they’d earned over the past half year, their in-game status, the houses they’d bought, their own NPCs, and unused points, among others.

Lind’s various means of deep integration had finally paid off at this moment.

It seemed like the Undead had never communicated verbally, yet suddenly they unanimously said, "Deal!"

Ostis was stunned.

He had his own little motives in pointing out problems with the Old Nobility, but overall there was no mistake, once a very loyal noblemen in his camp had gone rogue after awakening power.

Such situations had happened more than once, regardless of gender or age, almost none were spared.

Ostis’s plan to convert the Undead wasn’t an overnight affair. He planned to initially propose a goal that would make the Undead hesitate but unable to complete, and then offer simpler tasks.

Simply put, it’s called dangling a carrot—no lessons needed.

Like a carrot tied in front of the Undead, leading them step by step.

Ostis’s target was indeed the Old Nobility, but what he truly needed was to completely command the powerful Undying Legion. As long as the voices in the legion began to echo his own, soon they would all fall under his command.

However, Ostis hadn’t expected the Undead to lack loyalty completely; they agreed without any contemplation.

The words he wanted to say next were completely choked in his throat.

Watching the Undead leaving, Ostis was pondering.

"Are they massively fooling me? Impossible! But why agree so quickly?" He dismissed his thought as soon as it emerged.

Just like the Undead would investigate Black Marsh Kingdom’s people and then use the information to steal, deceive, engage in pyramid selling, and rob.

Ostis was also observing the Undead. In terms of information gathering, he was no less capable than the Undead. He was sure that the Undead he had invited usually didn’t get along; their relationships were very poor, and some even resorted to direct physical fights.

Through several "mission releases," Ostis gradually realized that the Undead really had no loyalties and could easily betray anyone, including their friends.

For a high enough price, they would even betray their teammates—selling them off directly.

But their quick agreement still made Ostis feel uneasy.

...

Lind, while chatting with the Crystal Mage, received a message proactively sent by the Undead.

"Bloodless Prince Ostis wants to kill me and is even planning to turn the Undead against me?"

As version main characters go, Ostis and William’s gap seemed a bit too wide.
