Chapter 445: Bracelet (1/2)

”The majority of the shops within this city have been closed down, but there are two places of interest.

”One is what used to be the Golden Chamber's auction house; the other is a marketplace.

”In the building that used to belong to the Golden Chambers, you can go and exchange your merit points for resources. It is run by the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Demon Phoenix Continent.

”The marketplace is a bit different. It is run by soldiers, and here you can sell and trade the loot you get from killing enemies. Either you sell it for merit points, or you trade it for items of equal value.

”The marketplace is doing much better than the Golden Chambers, but that is because every person has a lot of items, but they are given a limited amount of merit points.”

Xue Wei nodded his head. This was a military camp, restaurants, and so on, did not belong here, but they had already reached a rank where they did not need to eat, so that was not a loss.

”We need to go to the Golden Chambers' office and get a merit bracelet,” Lan said casually. ”Without one of those, we will not be able to gather merit points.”

Xue Wei looked at Lan and saw his eyes shining with greed. He suddenly became worried. Would Lan exterminate the other continent just for the sake of getting merit points, so that he could bankrupt the Demon Phoenix Continent? He wouldn't, right?

Lan looked at Xue Wei and saw his uncertainty. He instantly understood his thoughts and said, ”I am not going to do anything stupid,” he said. ”I promised to protect the land, so I am not going to destroy a lot of innocent people.”

”And I need the chaotic war zone to obscure my aura so that Uncle Yue can't find me.”

Xue Wei looked at Lan, and then he sighed. ”Why are you hiding from Hui Yue? If you tell him honestly, I am sure he will respect your choices.”

Lan was silent as he looked into the empty air. ”I know,” he said with a sigh. ”But I feel guilty,” he continued. ”I feel guilty about not seeing my family and friends for so many years. I ran away the moment I became an Overlord, and I have been gone for so many years. Although life is unending at our rank, it is still hard to be away for so many years.”

Xue Wei understood. ”Is there any way to contact them without leaving this world?”

Lan paused for a moment and frowned. ”Such treasures should exist,” he said with a nod of his head. ”But, I do not have one.”

Xue Wei contemplated for some time. ”You do not have one, but perhaps Hui Yue does? And if he does not, he is free to leave the world and try to get his hands on one. With your relationship, I am sure he will try his best to get one. That way, you can contact your family while you are staying here until you can achieve your goals.”

Lan had never really considered that before. Since he was a child, he depended on himself; he had never asked for something before; at most, he had robbed his father's treasury before he left.
