This adventurer is overly righteous.

The evil spirit, dwelling in the cave facing the raging Adrian, had no idea where or when it was born; its memory of it was rather vague. It suddenly appeared in the world, carrying resentment and evil power, which it used to seize its food—the undead.

Most of his food came from travelers who froze to death in the snow, a small portion from tribe members abandoned by disease, and a tiny fraction from the spirits of the dead who traveled from the south toward the land of the dead.

The undead that he can devour are the souls of the wicked; the souls of the virtuous will be protected by an invisible force, and he cannot get any closer.

By devouring souls, evil spirits can acquire a small portion of their memories. Therefore, the more ancient an evil spirit is, the more intelligent it is, and the deeper its understanding of the world becomes.

"What's wrong? Are you angry?" The evil spirit was not afraid of Adrian at all. He was only afraid of priests, not vampires, who were also evil creatures. Besides, the other party needed his help. "You are like actors in a theater troupe, performing for the gods you believe in, while hoping that they will give you some rewards, bless you, and grant you power..."

Adrian grabbed the evil spirit by the neck, and the old man's face, which was originally full of wrinkles, gradually cracked open, revealing a scarlet mouth and countless teeth.

"Shut your mouth! You are blaspheming!"

"Too serious, relax a bit." The evil spirit nudged Adrian with its two claws, and Adrian finally put it down. The evil spirit couldn't feel physical pain, but just to stop Adrian from getting angry, it suppressed its mischievous nature. "I don't care what your motives are. As you said before, this is a fair trade."

After he made a pact with Adrian and officially joined his organization, the vampire's expression softened slightly.

"Our plan, I'm sure that contact person has told you roughly about it..."

"I only have one last question," the evil spirit interrupted Adrian. "Tell me that the White Stone was formed from the leaked power of the Nibelungs, and that by using the White Stone and the magic you devised, we can pinpoint the location of the Nibelungs..."

"The only two known white stone veins are now guarded by the Adventurers' Guild, and your artificial dragon heart has disappeared. How are you going to proceed with your plan?"

"We know who has that artificial dragon heart, and naturally, skilled combat members will retrieve it," Adrian said through gritted teeth, referring to a memory that he found extremely painful.

"Besides, there's white stone, ah, there's just one place with enough white stone to build a palace..."

The vampires and evil spirits were plotting something, but they were completely unaware that a goblin at the cave entrance had memorized their conversation.

"This is really something. Alright, I can't listen to any more. Let's get out of here, Perry..." The goblin named Perry muttered to himself. He was the goblin that Logan had specifically hired to track the dog.

Perry possessed tracking magic, and Kroya obtained a piece of the dog's fur from Lillian. Using this, he tracked the evil spirit's trail and finally arrived after the spirit entered the cave, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Now that he felt what he had heard was horrifying enough, he began to move his body quietly, moving away from the cave and then running quickly towards Whitestone Town. His body was light and agile, and he could move quickly even in the snow-covered ground. In the distance, the outline of Whitestone Town was already clearly visible.

.......

"I've heard some incredible news..." Perry returned to White Rock and immediately went to find Logan, as they had agreed beforehand that Perry must inform Logan first if he found out any information.

"That dog was indeed some kind of extremely evil creature. I didn't see any other adventurers. When I found him, he was in a cave, talking with another scoundrel about their plans..."

Logan repeated Perry's words in his mind, trying to memorize them. He was so focused that he didn't even notice when Perry suddenly stopped speaking. Then he realized something was wrong, turned to look at Perry, whose smile was exceptionally cunning and greedy.

"The remaining information is too valuable; I took many risks to obtain it..." Perry said matter-of-factly, "so I demand that you increase the payment you give me, otherwise that's not fair."

"Furthermore, you must allow me to report this information to the Adventurers' Guild. Since I found out about it, you are not allowed to take credit for it."

The Adventurers' Guild has a well-established reward and punishment system for goblins, encouraging them to investigate various dangerous events in order to obtain valuable intelligence. Perry was certain that if he reported the information he had just obtained to his superior, he would receive a generous reward.

Of course, Perry didn't care about the so-called agreement. He only kept the agreement to get his reward from Logan. Two gold coins were not a small amount, but he could still swindle more.

"I told you it would be dangerous..." Logan looked at Perry with utter contempt; he already knew the other was a bastard. "You knew the risks, and you still took a lot of my money, a full two gold coins!"

"But I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, did I? You didn't tell me he had companions." Perry remained completely unfazed, shaking his head and continuing in a roguish tone, "So I only told you part of the information. Isn't that fair?"

"Heh." Logan tossed a gold coin, which the other party hurriedly caught, examined it closely, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was indeed genuine.

"Wouldn't it have been better if we had done this earlier?" Perry exclaimed in a lecturing tone, then told Logan most of the information he knew. Of course, he made some minor edits to some details. The content was indeed accurate, but if Logan and he reported the information at the same time, these details would lead the Adventurers' Guild to identify Perry as the one who discovered the information.

"I hate you, Perry." Logan said this from the bottom of his heart. The other party was a rare scum among goblins. Logan would not be sad if Perry died out there. That's why he entrusted this dangerous mission to him.

"But I advise you not to report this news to the Adventurers' Guild."

"You're trying to steal my credit? I don't believe you. Fine, our deal is over!"

Perry strode off, heading towards the Adventurers' Guild. After he left, Logan could only shake his head helplessly.

"Then I wish you good luck," Logan said resentfully.
