Guild Boss's Ambition

If Hai Lao himself knew how we treated his body, he would probably curse loudly, right? But even if he said he didn't want to, the arrogant old man might just be saying one thing and thinking another. So... please let us just have a more romantic fantasy and hope that he will come back from all over the world one day and tell us a dream.

If only I could dream about it.

In the past few days, Lian'er and Gushan have dreamed about Hai Lao, which made them very happy.

However, as if he wanted to play a trick on me, I was the only one among everyone in the stone house who did not dream of shrimp.

Even Bai Ye dreamed about Hai Lao, saying that she almost mistook him for a vengeful spirit and purified him on the spot.

On the night when all the affairs of Hai Lao were taken care of, I plucked up the courage to find Bai Ye, who was responsible for treating many injured people at that time. There was a question that I had never dared to ask her, and it was not a very smart question.

But I still want to confirm the truth behind it myself.

Make sure you really understand the deceased person.

When I found Bai Ye, she was examining Xiao Ban's body. Because of the battle with Lila, Xiao Ban had many problems with his body, so he had to undergo surgery frequently recently and looked listless all day long.

"How is Little Spot?"

"It's okay. I've fully recovered and my abilities have been enhanced."

Perhaps because the operation had just been performed, the temporary operating table in the room had not been cleaned up yet and was covered with chilling bloodstains. Xiaoban had already been cleaned by Bai Ye and was curled up in a pile of quilts to rest.

Seeing Xiaoban sleeping peacefully, I couldn't help but smile.

Bai Ye asked with concern: "Why are you visiting me so late? Is there something special?"

I bit my lower lip, took a deep breath, and asked, "Bai Ye, answer me, why didn't you save Hai Lao?"

……

……

89. The road ahead (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

"Bai Ye, answer me, why didn't you save Hai Lao?"

Although his tone was a little cold, it was just a strategy to get the truth.

Of course, if the power of the soul contract is used, Bai Ye will have no room to avoid it.

But once I use the soul contract, the harmonious relationship between Bai Ye and me will probably be gone.

And Bai Ye also understood what I meant.

She had not told the whole truth when she explained Ebi's death to Ehad.

Even though according to Bai Ye's own notes, spellcasters in this world do have the limitation of magic exhaustion, and as someone who pursues immortality, Bai Ye naturally has extremely in-depth research in this area.

Among them, "undeath" is Bai Ye's answer to the disease of magic exhaustion.

As long as you discard your original body and replace it with a new one, the magic power depletion will stop.

Theoretically, Bai Ye should have had time to resurrect Ebi at that time.

And even if she couldn't revive Ebi, there was no need for her to use the explanation of magic power exhaustion.

Bai Ye, who was seriously questioned by me, smiled with appreciation.

"It seems that you have read my notes carefully. Then why do you think I didn't revive Ebi?"

"I don't want to keep you guessing on this."

"Then I'll just explain it directly."

Bai Ye walked to the bloodstained operating table and answered my questions while cleaning up the scene.

"It was Hai Lao who didn't let me save him. He didn't respond to my resurrection ritual."

"Why... why?"

Bai Ye put the tools back into the box in an orderly manner and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Why? Instead of asking me why, you might as well ask yourself. You have been with Hai Lao for quite a while. He has been trying to cultivate you. You should know his character to some extent. A stupid and stubborn person like him only has a few reasons for coming and going."

Judging from Bai Ye's tone, it seems that Ebi's death was partly caused by himself.

Ok……

I see……

No more unnecessary questions...

"Death is where the adventure begins."

Ebi has his own ideas, perhaps he thinks the time has come to set off.

The reason why Bai Ye did not explain it clearly to Meng'er was probably because he did not want to create extra problems. If Meng'er and the others knew that Hai Lao could still be saved, they would definitely force Bai Ye to pull Hai Lao back from the gates of hell. However, from Bai Ye's point of view, rescuing Hai Lao by force would simply deprive him of his freedom after death.

Instead of letting everyone worry about Hai Lao's resurrection, it would be easier to just say that he is dead.

I swallowed the truth about Hai Lao's death and did not confirm my suspicions with Bai Ye.

I asked anxiously about other things: "Did Hai Lao's suicide note tell me anything else?"

Bai Ye glanced at me and said, "You really like him too."

"Please don't use such ambiguous words to state this fact. We will all feel disgusted."

"You don't deny it? Haha. But he is really lazy. He didn't leave you a single word in the letter."

"I guessed it would be like this."

I shrugged, watching Bai Ye hide an entire operating table with his space ring, and said, "But since the elves and humans have already ceased fighting, the city's martial law should be lifted soon by the city lord. After losing Hai Lao, we need to recruit another experienced task appraiser. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

"Aren't you going to do it yourself?"

Bai Ye packed up and turned to me and made a tempting suggestion.

But I was not shaken by it.

"I will, but not now. I am far from being as old as Shanghai."

"Even if you can't compare to him, you have already surpassed many people. You have an eye of truth."

"That's not the Eye of Truth," I confessed.

"Just think of it as the Eye of Truth, then things will be much simpler." Bai Ye said as he walked towards the closet.

"But even with the True Eye, I still lack actual adventure experience."

"Do you want to go out on an adventure?"

Bai Ye stopped in front of the wardrobe, took out a long dress, and began to take off the blood-stained clothes.

Since I often had the opportunity to see her body, and I knew she didn't mind, I didn't avoid looking at her at this time.

I answered her affirmatively: "No, I just want to observe everyone's adventures."

Bai Ye changed his clothes quickly and asked, "Or can you ask the adventurers to write a work report for you?"

I nodded and agreed with her. "That's one way, but I still want to experience it myself. Words can only convey a limited amount of information. The Marching Wolf Tour has proven that."

After hearing what I said, Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then hooked her arm around my shoulders and took me to her dormitory.

We sat down on the two sofas facing each other in the dormitory.

After thinking it over, she calmly agreed and said, "Okay, I will discuss this matter with Ehad on your behalf. We will find a competent and suitable guard for you, but you must agree to one condition of mine."

"What conditions?"

"I want you to promise us that you will be the first to escape if your life is in danger."

"Huh? Why?"

For some reason, Bai Ye's expression was unusually solemn at this moment.

She didn't explain why, but just said in a paternalistic way: "Even if there are weaker people than you in your team, you must put your own safety as the top priority. If you can't act on this condition, we can't let you observe the adventures of the mercenaries. It will only cause trouble for both of you."

I laughed dumbly and said, "Who would be so stupid as to run to a dangerous place on their own initiative—"

"..."

Bai Ye didn't say anything, he just looked at me like an idiot.

Ok……

I must admit that I do have a bit of a Madonna in my personality...

"Honestly, I really don't think I can ignore the calls for help from the weak," I said with a wry smile.

"Okay, then you are not allowed to go out. The adventure observation trip is cancelled." Bai Ye said without hesitation.

"I promise you! I promise you that safety will be the first priority!" I shouted quickly.

Bai Ye shook his head and sighed in distress.

"You promised so readily, you definitely can't do it, right?"

"Why do you want me to watch someone die without helping him? Aren't we supposed to help each other when facing adversity?"

Bai Ye made a very reasonable statement about this: "Have you forgotten the soul contract between us? As long as you die, I will die with you. You have not only one life, but two lives. If my life is ended by your kindness, I will die with regret."

Although what he said was reasonable, I still felt a fleeting sense of disobedience about it.

Since I didn't notice anything specifically wrong, I just thought it was a simple illusion.

After hearing Bai Ye's additional explanation, I now had one more reason to watch the dying person die without rescuing him, so I agreed with confidence: "Okay, okay! I will watch the dying person die without rescuing him. Even if a cute cat-eared girl falls in front of me, I will ignore her. I can guarantee this with my lifelong moral conduct."

"You don't have to guarantee your own operation. After all, that thing never existed."

The necromancer glanced at me mischievously and changed the subject: "Okay, your adventure observation, we will arrange guards for you carefully, but there is one very important thing that I think Ehad has not told you yet."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"The Water World was destroyed by the wrath of nature, and its leader, Vidora, died in the war."

I was shocked by the news for a moment, but I quickly calmed down.

Thinking of Aunt Vitora's beautiful voice and appearance, I felt deeply regretful: "Although I heard that many guilds collapsed, I didn't expect that Water World would be one of them. In this disaster, Ms. Vitora and her friends really helped us in Stone House a lot. It is reasonable for us to do our part to help them and see if there is anything they need help with."

Bai Ye, who didn't know Vidora, naturally didn't feel sad. She mentioned this matter because of the visible benefits: "The remaining members of Water World can take care of things by themselves. Ehad went there in person to send his greetings a while ago. The point is that when she came back, she brought three more people to our Tree of Life, saying that she wanted to hire them."

"Is it the surviving adventurer?" I asked curiously.

"No, two of them are the head chef and sous chef of Water World. I heard that you know them both, but I am not talking about them, but the remaining one. He is one of the three task appraisers of Water World. Ehard has negotiated the price with him at Water World and has decided that he will replace Hai Lao's original job."

Waterworld’s head chef and sous chef?

In other words, the half-dragon girl Marilo and the lizardman Mengjia are going to join our guild together?

With the addition of the two of them, it feels like our kitchen is going to change again.

Well, let’s not talk about the kitchen for now. What’s going on with that new mission assessor?

I was upset at first about Meng'er hiring a successor appraiser without consulting me, but when I thought about how the president had been so busy reorganizing the guild that she barely had time to eat, the anger in my heart immediately disappeared. Moreover, judging from the judgment of Meng'er and Aunt Victoria, the new appraiser should be a capable person.

"Bai Ye, have you met the appraiser?"

Bai Ye described the person as a machine: "We met once, and he is a part that can replace Hai Lao."

With the excitement of trying new things, I asked with a smile: "Do you think I can learn from him?"

Bai Ye held his chin and said noncommittally: "The newcomer is a pragmatic appraiser. You will understand when you meet him in the future. I really only met him once. We introduced each other in ten seconds. At first glance, he seems to be a good-looking guy. His speech and manners are gentle and elegant. He is a good man who can make a twelve-year-old girl's heart beat."

"Don't worry, I will graduate from being a twelve-year-old loli in just twenty days! Ugh! I was never a twelve-year-old loli!"

1. Reconstruction Plan (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

March 488, 3th year of the Alliance of Light, the beginning of spring with new green.

On the second day after the news of the ceasefire was announced, martial law was lifted in Mopolis City and the official announcement of the end of Nature's Wrath was made.

On this day, the city of Mopolis regained the most tenacious vitality of intelligent civilization.

After the storm comes the beginning of reconstruction.

Because half of the stone house was demolished by the giant's rocks, Meng'er hired a builder to help rebuild it.
