Guild Boss's Ambition

"Isn't Hai Lao only in his 50s or 60s? How come his magic power is starting to deplete so early?"

"I don't know the exact reason, but maybe it has something to do with his frequent promiscuity when he was young?"

Bai Ye handed the ceramic jar that I didn't take to Berlani, and then said, "I found his suicide note in his room, and cremated his body according to his wishes. Please send someone to scatter his ashes anywhere, but the letter said that he liked rivers and the sea, or you can give him some more employee benefits at the end."

I nodded in understanding and asked, "Did he tell me anything else?"

Bai Ye shook his head, looked at the dawn in the sky with disgust, and said softly: "No, he is not the kind of verbose man. There is not even a word left for your sister in the letter. He himself does not seem to want to leave too many things for future generations to remember. Even after I finished reading the letter, the letter paper immediately activated the spell and cremated itself."

Although Bai Ye is a woman who loves to lie, her description is very consistent with Ebi's usual style, that is, the kind of unrestrainedness with a hint of dullness. After confirming the news of Ebi's death, I surprisingly did not lose my composure. The effect of being calm and composed allowed me to remain as rational as possible despite the sadness.

After talking about the shrimp, I turned my focus back to the source of the whole incident.

"Bai Ye, how is Xiao Lan now?"

"Nothing special, just acting like a little kid who lost something important."

Listening to Bai Ye's indifferent tone, I understood that Xiao Lan must be very sad at the moment. After all, besides Bai Ye and Lian Er, Hai Lao is her closest elder and friend in the stone house. The old man's position in her mind may even be more important than that of me and Berlani. Although there is a real relationship but no name, the relationship between them is indeed that of a teacher and a disciple.

I was silent for a moment, and then another thought occurred to me.

So, I looked at Berlani who was holding Hai Lao's ashes, and sent her away with an excuse: "Berlani, go and arrange Hai Lao's funeral first. I have something else to discuss with Bai Ye. Please help lock the door when you leave."

Hearing this, Blanny nodded obediently and left my dormitory with the urn.

Bai Ye then cast a curious look at me: "Do you have anything more important than reorganizing the guild right now?"

I sorted out my thoughts and tried to find a way to solve the problem: "Regarding the previous battle, why did Raftan lose control? Was it her barbarian bloodline that made her become like that?"

"It's not just her barbarian bloodline, it's the concept of barbarism itself that makes her like this."

Bai Ye explained, "The danger Raftan faced at the time was beyond her ability, so she took the risk of using the power hidden deep in her bloodline. The price of power is a shift from civilization to barbarism. To describe it in your terms, it is the power of an evil belief. The more frequently it is used, the more it will take root in people's hearts."

Surprised, I asked anxiously, "Is Raftan not well now?"

The black-haired girl sat down beside my bed and said calmly, "The faith in the God of Light allows her to live in peace with that barbaric bloodline. As long as she doesn't use that stealing power again, there will be no problem. By the way, our dear Miss President, what changes have taken place in you?"

At the end of his words, Bai Ye gave me a dangerous look.

It was a look that wanted to eliminate danger.

If I didn't tell the truth, she would use her own methods to make me tell the truth.

However, the reason I let Blanny leave was that I wanted to confess my changes to Bai Ye.

The power that came from sudden enlightenment even frightened me.

I’m scared…

I was afraid that I would lose my mind like Raftan and do terrible things to my companions.

"Bai Ye, do you know anything about eyes?"

Bai Ye showed an interesting expression and pointed at his eyes: "Eyes? Are you talking about this kind of eyes?"

"Not the Eye of Truth."

"That's even more worthy of careful study."

Hearing my addition, Bai Ye's smile seemed even happier.

85. The Devil Awakens (Ehard)

(Mener-Ehard)

In order to avoid any further complications, I decided to take the initiative to explain my situation to Bai Ye.

"In the duel with Lila, I was once hit by Lila's Pyroblast and was on the verge of death. It was because of that near-death state that I also completed the conditions of a thousand victories and a thousand defeats and a clear mirror and still water. After completing these two conditions, I gained a pair of spiritual eyes that can clearly see myself, and a one-eyed demon pupil that can analyze the experience of failure."

After hearing what I said, Bai Ye held his chin and thought for a while.

After a while, she asked accurately: "So, what is it that makes you feel uneasy?"

Bai Ye knew very well that if there was nothing wrong, I would never share my personal information with you.

But now that I have lost Ebi, I think it is necessary for me to make use of the knowledge of this necromancer.

So, I explained, "As I said earlier, I now have a pair of spiritual eyes that can clearly see myself, but its function is also limited. According to its observation, in addition to human blood, I also have the blood of other intelligent races in my body. However, since it has not been fully activated by me, my spiritual eyes cannot fully see through it."

Hearing my inner uneasiness, the abominable necromancer immediately laughed sarcastically: "In other words, you want to know what kind of bastard you are? Come on, tell me a little more information──"

“Bastard?!”

If I hadn't had the effect of a clear mirror and calm water, I would have thrown down my gloves and declared war on the other side, bearing the family honor. But I was past the impulsive adolescence, so I held back my anger for the time being and replied with a sullen face, "Since returning from the battlefield, my emotions have started to fluctuate in some strange ways."

"What kind of fluctuations?"

Looking at Bai Ye's delicate and sexy face, I suddenly felt a strong sense of humiliation in my heart.

"Shouldn't I come to discuss this with Bai Ye?"

"No! It's precisely because it's hard to say that Bai Ye is the best candidate!"

The effect of Mingjing Zhishui immediately calmed me down. I said without blushing, "I don't know what happened, but recently I suddenly started to...well! Have a strong desire for sex. I can still control these desires with my own reason during the day, but when I fall asleep at night, they will quietly stretch out their claws."

As if to test my current state, Bai Ye deliberately leaned towards me, and pressed her chest against my arm at a clever and comfortable angle, and asked in my ear, "So, if Berlane did what I am doing now, would you want to have sex with her? Or do you prefer Xiao Lan?"

Boom!

My eyes unconsciously peeked at the ** in the white night, and the restlessness hidden deep in my heart immediately became active.

However, under my conscious control, Mingjing Shisui's ability was able to suppress it in one fell swoop.

At that moment, I pushed the necromancer away mercilessly and said coldly, "Get lost! I don't want to have any intimate relationship with your dirty body, but your experiment was indeed successful. I did have the desire to violate you or be violated by you just now, and earlier, I even had a very bad dream with Berlane as the object.!"

Bai Ye was not angry at my rough treatment. She straightened her clothes and made a few assumptions based on her experience: "When it comes to races with strong desires for sex, succubus would be one of them, and when it comes to erotic dreams, the most common on the continent is nightmares, but in addition to the above two, there are actually many other possibilities."

Bai Ye took out a notebook and a quill pen, then asked with a smile, "Are there any other symptoms?"

Other symptoms?

That’s not to say that…

But the feeling was very faint, so faint that even I was not sure about it.

However, the spiritual eye had a very certain judgment about that trace of emotion.

That is a very unbelievable judgment!

I can't even imagine how scared I would be now if Ming Jing Zhi Shui hadn't existed.

I told Bai Ye the truth: "I began to crave blood and wanted to eat human flesh."

At this point, Bai Ye's smile couldn't be any stronger: "You made a very good judgment. Judging from your current symptoms, you must be closely monitored. With your strength after growth, if you mutate into a monster like a vampire, you will be a disaster no less than Lila."

Speaking of Lila, I also have my own curiosity.

"Bai Ye, do you feel guilty about what Lila did?"

"To be honest, not at all. She is she and I am me."

"What a cold-blooded person."

I don't know if she was deliberately trying to retaliate against my sarcasm, but she suddenly gave me a coquettish look, then pressed my right arm vein with an extremely gentle hand, and said with a smile: "I am not only a cold-blooded person, but also a doctor who is going to draw blood from you. If you say any more nonsense to me, I will immediately drain all the blood in your body and put an end to it."

Such a white night strangely gave me a desire to conquer, but my calm state of mind continued to play an excellent role. I quickly got rid of the lust and returned to my normal thoughts. However, the white night was really too close at this time. In order to avoid being completely occupied by the desire again, I deliberately sought a serious topic.

"Bai Ye, how did you change from Lila to Bai Ye?"

Hearing this, Bai Ye's hand that was drawing blood suddenly trembled, and then I saw my blood spurting into the sky like a fountain.

I quickly changed my tone: "If you don't want to answer, I won't force you."

The necromancer pretended to be adorably clumsy, tapped his head inappropriately, chuckled and said, "Sorry, I accidentally inserted the needle into the wrong artery. I will help you stop the bleeding soon, please don't worry too much. As for the question you just asked, it's not a secret that cannot be told, but it doesn't make any sense to tell you, it's just a sad story."

I was still curious and couldn't suppress my curiosity, so I asked another question: "So, have you ever encountered the same madness as Lila in the past? In such madness, how did you regain your sanity?"

Bai Ye did not answer immediately. She drew a full tube of blood for me in silence, and then said gently: "Meng'er, you asked such a question, which means you don't understand what kind of existence Lila is. In my opinion, you can neither understand Lila nor need to understand Lila at the moment. It is best for you to never understand us."

"white……"

"Ehard."

I wanted to ask something else, but Bai Ye stopped me with a stern look.

She collected the blood sample and said coldly, "I will take your blood back for testing to see if I can help you find out the truth about your bloodline. According to my preliminary examination, you do have very strong self-control when you are awake. Even if I secretly used the bewitching magic just now, it couldn't affect your state of mind, but!"

She took out a large bottle of strange potion and a bunch of suspicious powders, and said in an emphatic tone, "In order to ensure that you don't do anything wrong while unconscious, you must take these psychiatric drugs for a long time to stay awake. One packet of powder plus a glass of water can keep you awake for 24 hours, but it also has certain side effects."

"side effect?"

"Long-term reliance on drugs and lack of sleep will cause a disruption in your biological clock. My personal suggestion is that you should take a nap once a week. The safest way is for me to personally look after you. After all, judging from your performance in the last battle, there is currently no one else in the stone house who can be your opponent except me."

Is there no other rival for me?

Huh? I've become so powerful?

I asked in confusion, "Master Jacob and the others have returned to the tree of life?"

Bai Ye rolled his eyes at me as if he saw through my thoughts and said, "So, please give up your delusion of defeating a legendary player."

"So, do you think I can go on with my business as usual now?"

"Of course you can, but I have a suggestion."

Bai Ye stood up and began to pack his luggage.

I asked curiously, "What suggestions?"

The necromancer said calmly, "Although we have successfully kept many adventurers alive this time, once the Wrath of Nature ends, I believe most of them will leave the guild with huge sums of money. Therefore, in the near future, your focus should be on selecting new people with potential and preparing for a new round of recruitment."

What Bai Ye said was true. Most of the adventurers were mercenaries who were only interested in the money. Since we successfully completed four war missions with excellent performance in this war, the remuneration that was divided equally among them was enough for each of them to retire and return home. Once the Wrath of Nature officially ends, they will definitely run away all at once.

However, this is actually a problem that every adventurer's guild will encounter.

As the saying goes, if the old does not go, the new will not come. It doesn’t matter if employees leave, the key is to be able to find corresponding replacements.

At this point in time, our performance in Nature's Wrath could be used as a gimmick to recruit new members. If there hadn't been any new changes, our guild's current survival rate could be described as outstanding. But the most regrettable thing is that we lost Ebi, our ace quest appraiser.

"well……"

Even though my hands are covered in blood, until today, I still cannot take life and death on the battlefield lightly.

I sighed, caught the last shadow of Bai Ye before he left the room, and said gloomily, "Bai Ye, before I finish those troublesome things, Xiao Lan will be in your hands for the time being, okay?"

"ah."

The necromancer agreed and quietly left his room.

86. Chaos (Blanny)

(Branny Erhard)

Today is the second day since the last battle. My sister was in a coma for more than a day before she woke up.

But Hai Lao disappeared forever.

Even though I have gotten used to hearing news of deaths of people I know over the years, I still feel unexpectedly sad this time.

Fortunately, the mountain giant's boulder smashed half of the stone house. This huge damage added a lot of work to me and left me with not much free time to indulge in sadness.

Work allows me to ignore the sadness.

But this method doesn't work for everyone.

Afterwards, Xiao Lan was very sad.

She hid herself in Hai Lao's bedroom and blamed herself for his departure.

Because they are so worried about her, Lian'er and Xiaoban are currently staying by her side all the time.

Although she denied it many times, according to Lian'er's testimony, Xiaolan secretly shed tears almost every day.

Gu Shan and I were both very worried about this lively little girl.

But Bai Ye said that we should give her more time.
