Chapter 1122: 346. Sea Monsters Envoy_2

This trading journey should be the most difficult yet.

Because he must ensure he is not discovered, and he needs to find out as much as possible about how much soul energy Lophi has bought.

“I heard that before Union City faced the Pollution Zone, the Alchemy Cathedral bought 800 million units of soul energy in one go.”

Lamont pondered as he walked:

“Now the Undead Cult has also been purchasing soul energy, and the total amount must be substantial. Could they also be planning to open a Pollution Zone?”

Lamont always felt that the Undead Cult’s actions hid some earth-shattering secret.

But he was just a slightly capable Pure Light Secret Investigator, and not even able to defeat Lophi in Spider Cave, let alone pry into the truth of the matter.

Unknowingly, Lamont’s route had deviated.

He was supposed to head to the bustling contact point and leave a black tag on the streetlamp for the Undead Cult’s spies to come and meet with him.

But now, in a moment of distraction, he walked into a deep alley.

He was completely unaware that he had come to a place void of people.

The walls around formed a cage, the heavens roofed over, with only the view from a skylight left.

Lamont’s eyes glazed over, completely out of it, standing still like a frozen statue.

While he maintained this pose, an invisible hand undid the string of his magic pouch and took it from his belt, dragging it into the pitch-black corner of the alley.

About 1 minute later, the magic pouch was returned unaltered to Lamont’s waist.

Lamont began stepping towards the alley exit, and as he returned to prosperity, he came to, as if waking from sleepwalking, yet he had no awareness of what had just occurred.

“Did you find anything, Your Excellency?” In the shadows of the alley, darkness cloaked Noland Lee’s figure.

He had just used mental magic to “lure” Lamont into the alley, then taken the latter’s magic pouch.

If the Assassin Angel was not around, Noland could have used the Deconstruction Technique to obtain the correct gesture to open the magic pouch.

But with the Assassin Angel’s help in cracking the magic pouch, Noland didn’t need to risk exposing the existence of the Deconstruction Technique to open the magic pouch.

The Assassin Angel directly used a “Divine Power Rune” to paralyze all defense barriers inside and outside the magic pouch.

It rummaged inside for a while, then allowed Noland to return the pouch.

“I did not find any valuable clues,” the Assassin Angel said.

Noland nodded inwardly. He’d suspected this would be the outcome.

While the Assassin Angel searched the pouch, he too had used the Deconstruction Technique to deconstruct it completely, arriving at the same conclusion.

Lamont had been cautious in his dealings and did not carry items related to the secrets of the Pure Light Court on his person.

Even the report he had written before did not have a copy left over.
