Chapter 1126: 348.Life is short

“Friar Lophi, these are the six Soul Gems I’ve brought.”

Lamont placed a small bag of gems in front of Lophi, who didn’t even glance at him but waved his hairy arms dismissively to send him away.

“Leave, our trade ends here. From now on, I shall no longer purchase Soul Gems from you. This is the last time.”

Lophi shouted for a Spider Mother Attendant, who brought a box of Death Gems to the small creature before him.

All Lamont could think about was returning to report to Elder Skimming Light.

He took the jewelry box, shoved it into his pocket, turned, and left without a moment’s delay.

On the boat back to mankind’s territory, he deviated from his usual silence and struck up a conversation with the low-ranking Undead Acolytes on board.

During the conversation, he subtly steered the topic towards the sea monster disguised as a humanoid creature.

Undead Acolytes are typically introverted, but the “gossiping heart” knows no bounds of race or life form.

Especially the sight of an upper being like Friar Lophi brought low by a foreigner undeniably delighted these serfs in the shadows.

The Acolyte responsible for steering the boat went off in a tirade, breathing out a sour stench of living corpse as he vividly narrated the departure of the sea monster—though the process itself was nothing special…

Lamont listened patiently, using “Lie Perception” to sift truth from fiction, finally extracting a key piece of information:

The sea monster came from Revival City, and on its return, it also headed there, not taking a boat to any other place.

Given that this sea monster had mentioned a Sea Monster Emissary would bring a formal Queen’s secret order the day after tomorrow, Lamont speculated that Revival City might have a temporary base secretly established by mermaids.

Otherwise, when leaving, the sea monster could have easily taken a boat through the Underground River to reach the coast and then cast a Deep Sea Spell to return to the Isidora Mermaid Kingdom.

The more Lamont thought about it, the more feasible his speculation seemed.

When he returned to Revival City, he rushed back to his residence, fell into his sofa, and immediately entered the Pure Light Court’s Sub-Dimensional Plane with his consciousness.

Outside his window, two layers of glass away in the building opposite, Noland Lee silently watched every move.

The Anti-detection Magic Barrier, constructed by Mechanos, perfectly concealed his Magic fluctuations, and Illusion Magic hid his form.

Any wizard whose Strength had not reached the Eighth Ring could only see an empty room through the window, never noticing Noland Lee’s presence.

“The Plane Core behind the Pure Light Court is named ‘Pure Light,'”

the Assassin Angel said using the language of the mind:
