Chapter 1124: 347. Perfect Disguise

The concept of impersonating a Sea Monster to trade with Lophi gave Noland Lee a brilliant inspiration.

Previously, Noland had promised Lophi to bring it 260 million soul energy points within seven days.

At that time, Noland was concerned about the possibility of being double-crossed and was only thinking about how he would cope if that happened, without ever considering the idea of impersonating a Big Shot from the Sea Monster Kingdom to trade with Lophi.

There were pros and cons to this approach.

The advantage was that, with the support of the Sea Monster Kingdom, neither Lophi nor the Undead Cult behind it would dare to double-cross him.

The disadvantage was the increased risk of being exposed by other Sea Monsters.

Therefore, Noland had to avoid encountering any other Sea Monsters.

He pulled up the Deconstruction Results of the Fearscale Envoy he had previously analyzed and reviewed them carefully.

Not bad, not bad. The Fearscale Envoy would not visit Lophi today, as it had scheduled its next transaction with the other party for two days later.

As long as the Fearscale Envoy kept its word and didn’t change its plans at the last moment, Noland shouldn’t run into it near the trading site.

But this gave rise to a new problem—how should Noland introduce himself to Lophi?

Should he just whip out 260 million soul energy points and slap it on the other party’s face?

Or should he brandish the Queen’s Scepter pretentiously and say a few symbolic words like “I am a secret envoy” or “The Queen authorizes this”?

After thinking for a few minutes, Noland decided to play it by ear.

After all, he just wanted to sell the soul energy and then attract the Pure Light Court’s forces, not to establish a long-term trade relationship with Lophi.

Noland discarded his Sea Monster form, reverted to his human form, and secured the Scepter.

Once sure there were no traces of the Sea Monster on him, he pushed open the door of the Guestroom where he was staying, took to the streets, and met with the Undead Cult’s informant.

There were no waves in the process of the meeting and heading to the trade site.

When Noland arrived at Lophi’s Spiderweb Cavern, Pure Light Spy Ramont was sitting on a chair made of spider webs.

Today, there weren’t many sellers waiting to see Lophi. Including Noland, there were only four.

Logically, the transaction process should have been quick, but for some reason, after Ramont arrived, he could only wait with the other sellers, never receiving a summons from Lophi.

Noland found a spot where he could see the three other sellers and began to cast Deconstruction on them and the surrounding Spider Mother Attendants.

Noland browsed through the Deconstruction Results in his mind, and the eyebrows under his Hood lifted slightly.

The reason Lophi wasn’t calling any sellers for a trade was that it wasn’t there.

Earlier that day, it had left through a passage at the deepest part of the cavern, with its destination being the Undead Cult’s Main Camp a hundred or two hundred kilometers to the west.

How coincidental, it would return here in about 10 minutes.
