Chapter 164: The female alchemist

They changed rooms and switched into one of the rooms on the other side of the artificial mountain in the yard. From this room, they could look directly into Belinda’s room through the window.

Candice seemed to be discussing something with Belinda upon returning as she stayed within the room and didn’t come out. The other mercenaries were arranged in the rooms on either side of Belinda’s.

The three people who had followed Belinda were given rooms neighboring Han Shuo and Emily’s room. Thanks to a magical mirror, they could directly observe the three’s movements.

The trio looked like nondescript, ordinary featured men. They actually looked quite similar and could have been three brothers. One of them leaned against the window and kept an eye on Belinda after moving into the room, whereas the other two fell into a deep sleep on the bed, likely because they were too fatigued.

It was still daylight, so the two groups of people made no moves, maintaining a calm, peaceful situation. Han Shuo observed them for a while and noticed that both sides were doing nothing out of the ordinary. He returned to Emily’s side and thought for a moment, “Keep an eye on the situation for me. I’m going to make a trip to the cemetery of death to check on things.”

“Hmm? Why do you suddenly want to go back to the cemetery of death?” Emily was a bit surprised by Han Shuo’s decision and stared at him with a questioning gaze.

Smiling mysteriously, Han Shuo said, “I recently took in a follower and want to see if his injuries have healed yet.”

Han Shuo had already moved further into the room and ripped up the wooden panels of the closet, setting up the transportation matrix inside. Emily was long since used to Han Shuo’s mysteriousness by now and didn’t ask much when she saw that he was about to leave. She said, “Alright, I’ll stay here and observe them. I’ll go over and pull you back if anything happens, so you’d best not stray too far from the cemetery of death.”

“Mm, don’t worry, I’ll stay within the cemetery. You can come find me anytime if there’s anything out of the ordinary.” Han Shuo responded and stood within the matrix, closing the doors to activate it.

“Gilbert, where the hell are you?” Han Shuo immediately yelled loudly when he reappeared in the cemetery of death.

The little lewd dragon appeared in front of Han Shuo with a pop and fell to his knees immediately, saying pitifully, “Noble master, you’ve finally remembered your faithful servant. There’s nothing interesting in this boring place and I can’t go out either! I’m bored to death!”

“I told you to keep a good eye on that place, you didn’t slack off, did you?” Han Shuo had once told Gilbert to pay attention to the piece of land that was refining the earth elite zombie, just in case something untoward happened there.

“Of course I didn’t slack off, but there’s really nothing worth keeping an eye on there. Nothing’s happened since you left. Oh, honored master, when will you take me out to go look for beautiful women?” Gilbert complained to Han Shuo.

Compared to his charred look last time, Gilbert was now dressed in a gleaming black robe and had his hair perfectly combed. Apart from his skin being the color of coal, the young Gilbert looked rather handsome.

“How are you injuries?” It remained to be seen whether or not he’d take Gilbert out with him, based on his injuries. Although this little lewd dragon was a shot mess, his strength as a dragon was extraordinary, so he would make a good helper regardless.

Gilbert puffed his chest out after hearing this question and said very cockily, “Not a problem. As one of the strongest predators on this planet, this kind of injury was not a problem for me at all.”

“Stop bullshitting me, how are your injuries?” Han Shuo glared as he spoke harshly.

As his master, Han Shuo could more or less sense a bit of Gilbert’s condition through the ties of the contract. Although he was much better than before, Han Shuo could still feel that he hadn’t fully recovered, and so couldn’t help but take a severe tone when he heard Gilbert speak this way.
