Chapter 615 - Get Information Little by Little (2/2)

“Upstairs is a sly old one too. You’re trying to say Roland’s heart is as hard and ruthless as a diamond.”

“Oh dang, if you didn’t explain I couldn’t even understand that he was cursing Roland.”

“This world has all kinds of people like Mille Crepe cakes(1), can a husky brain like mine still be good?”

Not to mention the att.i.tude of the netizens in the livestream at this point, Roland and the others started making preparations after seeing that rainbow.

After confirming the supplies in their Backpacks, they began to leave the city and started walking southward.

Roland also left a mark outside the city, so that in case something happened, they could still teleport back in an emergency. The Ten Thousand Stones Abyss was not far from Portree. When Roland left the city, he bought a stone cart and then bought a four-legged animal unique to the Netherworld to pull the cart. It looked like an elaphure, with horns, four hooves, a horse face, a dog tail, and a pig’s body. Despite its odd appearance, it was very strong and didn’t eat much, and it could eat plants, meat, or even carrion. It was excellent for pulling a cart.

Some clothes were put in the cart. Roland alone naturally didn’t have that many clothes. The other four also contributed quite a few.

Some emergency rations were placed on it as well.

The food tasted average, but in the Netherworld, it was a delicacy.

“We’ll pose as luxury merchants later,” Roland explained as he walked ahead. “I’m the merchant owner, Schuck is the accountant in charge of bargaining and buying, and you three are the escorts.”

“These things can be luxury goods?” Li Lin had some doubts.

Roland laughed. “From the mayor’s att.i.tude just now, you can tell that such clothes are definitely luxury items.”

Li Lin threw up his hands. “Well, I’m just raising some questions, you’ll be the one executing the details.”

“After we blend in, don’t rush to act, continue to poke around for information,” Roland said after some thought. “Find out the topography of the Ten Thousand Stones Abyss and the layout of the city to facilitate our escape. Then inquire about the True Ancestor’s personality, preferences, eating habits, and abilities. It’s best to even find out the number of the guards around her.”

The other four nodded.

“As for emergency food…” Roland thought about it and said, “The vampires only drink blood and don’t eat anything else, but the blood slaves they keep are human and need to eat. I think the True Ancestor, as the n.o.blest vampire, should keep blood slaves of good quality that are well-fed… If we can sell food to the head steward in charge of these blood slaves and set up a relations.h.i.+p, we might be able to pry out considerably useful information. It’s in your hands, Schuck, you’re the best negotiator out of all of us.”

Schuck nodded. “I’ll do my best.”

Just then, Roland, who was at the front, suddenly reached out and stopped the cart.

The other four immediately drew their weapons and stood guard.

In the distance to their right, a group of men dressed in black was silently watching them.

There were at least thirty people on the other side, and all of them were professionals, the lowest at level four. Eleven of them were Masters.

“When did the robbery lineups all get so luxurious?” Li Lin was surprised.

If this was the main plane, these thirty people would be able to control a large city with a population of a million.

Just when they thought there was going to be a confrontation, the other side retreated, leaving quickly, as if they had no interest in them.

Shuck thought for a moment and said, “Could it be that they saw we only had one cart and couldn’t bear to rob us?”.

The other four shrugged in disappointment.

In reality, they all quite wanted to fight. If the other party took the initiative to attack, then killing the enemy in self-defense could earn them a lot of EXP. It was a good way to level up and earn EXP.

Pity!

The other side ran away.

The five continued. The rainbow in the air had disappeared, but according to the intelligence, the vampires’ True Ancestor would be awake for at least six months before she would sink back into slumber.

So… the idea of waiting for the True Ancestor to sleep before finis.h.i.+ng her off was feasible, but it would just take too long.

It wasn’t worth it.

They arrived outside the Ten Thousand Stones Abyss.

There were no walls here because the abyss was the best wall.

All five of them were shocked by the huge sinkhole.

And the long, tall, stone pillars in the pit were densely connected, giving the illusion of an exotic alien world.

At the edge of the pit, there was a large gantry, which was a high square stone frame.

There were a dozen soldiers on guard there, and Roland and the others went over with their cart.

The captain-like person also came over of his own accord, and he was a little surprised to see Roland and the others. “You all… just came from the outside world not long ago?”

The captain was a human.

“You can tell?” Roland asked with a smile.

“The life energy is still thick in you, and your aura is not quite the same as ours on this side.” He looked at the wagon behind Roland and couldn’t help but gasp when he saw the twenty or so pieces of clothing piled on it, as well as some emergency rations from the main plane. “Oh my Nether G.o.d, how did you get these rare goods?”

“Brought them from the main plane.”

The captain said admiringly, “You guys are going to be rich… Everyone else in this city except the Her Majesty the True Ancestor will have their souls hooked by your clothes.”

“Why doesn’t your Her Majesty the True Ancestor like new clothes?” Roland asked, pretending not to care too much.

“Because she can teleport long distances!” The captain didn’t have any suspicions and answered Roland’s question directly. “Every year, she spends a day or two on the main plane, so she doesn’t lack new clothes to wear at all.”

Roland hummed a response. The vampires’ True Ancestor also knows spatial magic.

When fighting with her, he had to be careful not to let her escape with Teleportation, so Dimensional Anchor scrolls had to be prepared.
