Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302
Having made up his mind, Du You issued the order directly. On the other side, the Lich King also knew what to do.
"Very well, I accept your allegiance, follow me." The Lich King stood up directly and then walked outside. Skarow followed with trepidation, his body still trembling, not knowing what fate awaited him.
Before long, under the gaze of numerous high-tier Undead, Skarow finally completed the arduous journey and followed the Lich King to the front of the Lord’s Mansion. By then, the Lord’s Mansion had turned into a grand palace.
"Keep up." As the Lich King continued inside, Skarow was unsure whether to follow when the Lich King spoke. Skarow had no choice but to keep up, as his own strength was insufficient, and not obeying in this place meant death.
After reaching the main hall, the Lich King pointed to a room and said, "You enter."
Skarow cautiously asked, "You, there won’t be any danger inside, will there?" Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
The Lich King did not respond but emitted a powerful aura, causing Skarow to feel frightened and filled with regret, wishing he had never come to this place. But now there was no choice; resisting meant death, while entering might offer a chance to survive.
Nervously, Skarow entered the room. What happened next was not the concern of the Lich King, but of Du You. Du You allowed transformation, and thus the room began the transformation process.
The room closed, and a special power began to gestate within. Fortunately, Skarow was only tier two while this territory had already reached tier six. Thus, in less than a day, Skarow’s transformation was complete.
Upon coming out, Skarow looked at Du You and the others with extreme respect. "Master, Master, it’s nice to meet you for the first time, I’m called Skarow. The two ladies are also well." Skarow became even more sycophantic.
After the transformation, Skarow had learned some information about All Heavens and the Myriad Realms, as well as what this territory was all about. He understood even more clearly that the real master of this territory was the human before him, while the King of the Undead was merely this human’s subordinate, or more fittingly, a Summoned Beast.
"Don’t call me master, from now on call me Lord." Du You frowned.
The two sisters enjoyed being called master by that sweet voice, but what was the deal with this sleazy Lich in front of them? Even the two sisters frowned in disgust upon hearing that guy’s address.
"Alright, Lord." Seeing that the other party was not genuinely angry, Skarow finally relaxed.
"Tell me the specifics, and do not conceal anything."
Since Skarow had become a follower of the territory, with the territory’s suppression, if this guy lied, Du You would know immediately. Though Du You had never used the territory’s suppression ability on followers, it didn’t mean it wouldn’t work. He needn’t be considerate with others, but this guy was an exception.
Skarow hurriedly began explaining, as he was now under the roof of another and had to bow his head.
"So that’s it." Du You and the others exchanged a glance, finally understanding the situation. The guy before them was indeed very skilled in hiding and spying, which allowed him to get by in the chaotic land.
When those bigwigs needed reconnaissance, they would ask him for help. Coupled with his own decent ability to stay hidden and his typically inoffensive speech, he had managed to survive until now.
Otherwise, with the kind of work he did, many unlucky people wouldn’t have let him live.
Regrettably, this guy had poor talent; even after many years, he was only tier two, with no possibility of advancement. Plus, his strongest ability was hiding, not suitable for the path of a Mage, which made him a very unique existence.
You must know, Liches are naturally wise and ideally suited for the path of Mages. Though some also take other paths, they are the minority. This guy before them was one of the very few exceptions. It wasn’t that Skarow didn’t want to follow the path of a Mage, but he simply couldn’t make it through, his own abilities were too poor.
This time, Skarow had been invited to scout out this place; the ones who issued the mission were six tier-six Undead from the chaotic lands. This chaotic land had managed to sustain itself because of these six powerful beings.
However, his own territory had risen too quickly, making them feel threatened, which is why they were prepared to deal with it.
According to the situation, they still didn’t know he had joined under Franluoka. Otherwise, a territory under a Death God, they wouldn’t have the guts to provoke it carelessly.
Skarow was very cunning; after arriving at the territory, he first took a tour and discovered dozens of tier-six Zombie Dragons. This indicated that the strength of this territory far surpassed the chaotic lands.
And since the chaotic lands were too disordered, the activities Skarow had been involved in over the years had increased his own risk. He had been prepared to leave this chaotic area. Now, wouldn’t it be better to directly join under a single Lord? No matter how much information he scouted, the Lord wouldn’t harm him.
That kind of situation where knowing too much got you silenced was rare in the Netherworld, which was more straightforward.
But he hadn’t expected this place to be a human’s territory.
Du You was inwardly astonished, realizing this guy had already been making the rounds here and he hadn’t even noticed. If he hadn’t come forward on his initiative, Du You might not have known until he left. Having a hidden snake in the dark was definitely not a good thing. Now, however, this spy had become his own.
If the other side wanted to use a spy, then he would counter with a double agent strategy.
"Very good, your ability is commendable, and after the transformation, your strength can also be enhanced, I will help you improve. But, you must demonstrate your own value."
"Rest assured, Lord, I will go back and tell them that this place’s strength is not very strong, letting them come and attack."
Du You was taken aback; this guy actually knew what he was thinking. But Du You also said, "No need, you tell them our strength is very strong, but that we are moving into the battlefield. Let them come over after we leave."
Skarow’s eyes lit up, this would make those guys even more reassured, and taking the initiative to attack would also give Du You an excuse to eliminate them. Then, the vast chaotic land would also become his own territory, truly killing many birds with one stone.
"Your command, Lord, is like the bright moon in the sky, I can’t help but admire..."
"Shut up, just do what you’re told and cut the chatter." Lin Yushi finally couldn’t stand it and took the initiative to speak up. You should know, during serious matters, the two sisters never spoke out.
