Chapter 107 (2/2)

Moreover, he was no longer a solitary thief. There was a group of companions who needed his care. If they really had a fight, even if he could break through and escape, what would his companions do?

Steele would most likely be able to escape, but what could others do: Mrs. Teague, Liv, Ranke, and little Nice?

He hesitated again and again and eventually decided not to launch an assault. He sighed and said, “Well, I’m going to catch the three-headed legless lizard then. I hope you’re not stupid enough to force me to turn against you!”

After that, he left with all the grievant companions.

Sean smiled, saw them off, and shook his head contemptuously.

“His intuition is good, but his vision is not. The horizons of all adventurers will eventually be the same!”

He sat down again, took out a document to scan it, and quickly forgot the people who had come from far away.

A few days later, Ray returned to Gars City with some embarrassment, bringing a three-headed legless lizard that was tightly tied up.

When he took the giant beast that seemed to weigh a ton and stepped into Gars City it even felt as if the earth shook and mountains moved. The onlookers almost blocked the gate.

The three-headed legless lizard was not very powerful, but it was definitely not weak. It was about four to eight meters long, and three to five meters tall. Some small ones weighed seven or eight hundred kilograms, and some bulky ones could weigh even over two tons. The huge body gave it amazing power, and its massive scales could provide a defensive force comparable to that of a man of unusual strength with a full set of steel armor, and a heavy shield held in his hand. Not only that, but these monsters still had terrifying vitality. Unless special weapons were used, ordinary weapons needed to cut off all three of their heads in a short time and burn them with flames before they would be able to truly kill these monsters.

Some of the three-headed legless lizards could even use magical powers, such as Flames, Cold Ice, Lightning, and Toxins. It was said that someone had seen a long-lived and ridiculously strong three-headed legless lizard that not only had a great size, but also three heads that were able to spit flames, cold ice, and lightning, respectively!

This legless lizard that Ray caught alive was certainly not a particularly powerful individual. It was just a monster that had become an adult. It was not very good in terms of combat effectiveness. A team of skilled adventurers could successfully kill it. However, hunting and catching one was completely different; the teamwork and fighting involved were even more different. This warrior who had not appeared here must have had an awesome strength, because he could single-handedly get this guy from the marsh and carry it all the way into the city!

“Only those legendary strongmen could do this kind of thing!” Inside the crowd, some people commented on him this way.

This news quickly spread to the leaders of all the forces in Gars City, including the city owner Joseph.

More than one person began to investigate Ray. Because there was no special meaning of confidentiality, they quickly investigated it clearly, and then the strong leaders received a second report.

“What did Sean want to do?” the chief priest Heli Riley said to herself. In the magnificent temple of the Goddess of Harvest, she took two pieces of information and was lost in thought.

Unlike ordinary intelligence merchants, she had more powerful intelligence channels. She had always been wary of her brother who seemed to be easy-going and had nothing special, because she had a lot of information that was not known to ordinary people.

At this moment, the time of the mining ceremony was coming. But Sean made a big move. What was the intention?

At this time, Ray once again visited Sean’s residence.

“I’ve brought you what you wanted, and it’s just outside your gate,” he said to Sean gruffly. “So you should give me what I want. The information!”

Sean put down his documents, smiled, and gently said, “I think you may remember something wrong. What I said before was that if you could catch a three-headed legless lizard, you could prove your ability and that you would be qualified to get the secrets. But when did I say that a foolish beast could be traded for such secret intelligence?”

Ray was grim, clenched his teeth and looked at him angrily.

He had already reached the edge of his temper: these days he was fighting all sorts of messy vipers and beasts in the damn marsh to find a three-headed legless lizard, catch it alive, and drag it all the way back to town. At the moment, he was not only physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme; his mood couldn’t be worse.

If Sean dared play tricks, then he would just go, get a good rest, and send his companions away. Then he would come in here alone, grab the bastard, cut his ear off first, then torture him slowly!

Sean seemed not to have seen his almost flame-lit eyes, and slowly said, “I have always kept my word. It would be very costly for me to destroy my credit.”

“What do you want?” Ray interrupted his nonsense and asked coldly.

“At the mining ceremony, I’ll need your strength,” said Sean lightly. “Before that, you should have a good rest until all things are determined. If I haven’t died yet, I’ll not only tell you everything, but also will help you without sparing any effort.”

“What?!” Ray was dumbfounded, and didn’t understand what he meant.

“Anyway, you will understand then.” Sean smiled and looked on, mysterious.
