Guild Boss's Ambition

Most of us are just passers-by in each other's lives, but there are always one or two who will always occupy a corner of each other's heart.

Taking Lvliu and the others with me, I found Blanny who was serving dinner in the restaurant and asked her about Bai Ye's whereabouts.

She told us that Bai Ye came back to spend the night last night and had not appeared this morning.

"Maybe you haven't woken up yet?"

23. The Light of the End (Little Blue)

(Uru-Lannon)

"Maybe you haven't woken up yet?"

With the above assumptions in mind, I asked Mr. Lvliu and the others to wait in my room, and I went to Bai Ye's room and knocked on the door to see if she had woken up. According to her daily living habits, she was either still asleep or had been studying all night without closing her eyes to rest, but generally speaking, morning to noon were her inactive times.

giggle.

Before entering the lady's room, I knocked on the door.

"Well... come in."

Bai Ye's soft answering voice came from the other side of the door.

I opened the door and walked into the room, only to see Bai Ye lying on the bed with her clothes untidy and her breasts half exposed. I don't know whether to say that she looked sexy or lazy and rude. Anyway, I was no longer surprised by her appearance. I used to feel a little embarrassed when I saw it, but now I simply regard her as a beautiful scenery.

Seeing that she was awake, I didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Bai Ye, didn't you take down the Beihai Chamber of Commerce by yourself before? The commission I'm following up on happens to be related to them. A detective who is traveling with us wants to take a statement from you. Can you do him a favor?"

Bai Ye straightened his clothes, stood up and threw himself into a wizard robe, covering the skin exposed to the air, and slowly responded: "Mission? What kind of mission would involve the North Sea Chamber of Commerce? Wulu, do you remember what you promised us?"

When Bai Ye asked me this, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

No matter how you think about it, investigating the whereabouts of the Saint and the Demon King is an extremely dangerous thing, but──

"Sorry, when I came to my senses, I was already completely immersed in it."

"You will pay the price sooner or later."

Perhaps he had seen through my thoughts. Bai Ye shook his head unhappily, rolled his eyes at me, and said, "Go and invite your guests. I'll make some scented tea for them, but please remember to let them know the rules here in advance. I don't want anything unpleasant to happen. Don't make it difficult for me because of you. Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

I quickly escaped from Bai Ye, who was about to start nagging again, and turned around and trotted back to my room, asking Lvliu and the others to prepare themselves to meet Bai Ye. Except for me and Heloise, Lvliu and Sora all looked as if they were facing a great enemy. Is Bai Ye really that scary? Yes, she is indeed quite scary. She used to dissect people.

While thinking about going to the kitchen to ask Karolo for some red bean buns later, I led them to Bai Ye's room.

Bai Ye's room is very tidy. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary room, but if you have a pair of eyes like a famous detective, you will find that there are actually a lot of strange props hidden in Bai Ye's leap room, such as voodoo dolls and scalpels, which are characteristic of necromancers and are almost scattered throughout the room.

After stepping into Bai Ye's room, Midori and Sora's expressions seemed to become even stiffer.

I laughed secretly to myself and just introduced them to each other, briefly saying their names and identities.

After a brief introduction, Bai Ye treated them to flower tea. Her excellent social skills immediately made the winged man Sora, who was not good at reading people's expressions, put down his guard and quickly returned to normal behavior; on the contrary, Mr. Lvliu's expression became more solemn, probably because he had clearly understood the danger of Bai Ye.

At this time, I have completely handed over the sovereignty of the negotiations to Mr. Lvliu.

After all, if you want to negotiate with Bai Ye, you must bring out the corresponding bargaining chips, and these bargaining chips can only be brought out by Mr. Lvliu himself. Of course, I can also use my private friendship to make Bai Ye tell the truth, but this is a bit unfair to Bai Ye himself. All the information in the world is an important resource, and those who provide information are entitled to ask for a certain amount of compensation.

It was unexpected but also reasonable. At the beginning of the negotiation, Lvliu readily told Bai Ye about the disappearance of the saint.

His honesty is the most astute strategy. Given Bai Ye's personality, the more we try to use our cleverness on her, the more she wants to use our cleverness to counterattack. In front of Bai Ye, Miss Raftan's almost naive kindness can successfully win her trust, and then establish a relationship of mutual trust, and even win a rare friendship.

However, Bai Ye didn't seem to be in a good mood today.

Because it comes from me.

After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, she smiled lightly: "Let's not talk about the North Sea Chamber of Commerce for now. What is the contract you signed with Ulu and the others? What makes you sure they won't be in danger? If you want to use the wisdom of our Ulu and the specialness of Heloise, you should be more sincere."

Mr. Green Willow said calmly, "They took the initiative to join us."

Unfortunately, Bai Ye is not the kind of woman who makes sense: "I don't like this reason."

“I can adjust their compensation.”

"I don't need you to adjust your compensation."

Bai Ye glanced at her charmingly and said with a smile, "I want you to swear to the God of Light to protect our adventurers. If any of them are permanently injured, your Church of Light will have one more enemy."

At this moment, Heloise chuckled softly, and then pretended to be serious again.

Mr. Green Willow, who was mocked by the high elves, twitched his eyes unnaturally: "Well, I think I did something wrong in this matter. I am willing to promise to do my best to protect the safety of Miss Lan Nong and others, but in return, I hope that Miss Bai Ye can also provide information about the North Sea Chamber of Commerce──"

Before Lvliu finished her topic, Bai Ye gave her an overly gentle smile.

Mr. Green Willow was frightened by this smile and was speechless for a moment, and Heloise laughed slyly again.

The Necromancer smiled brightly and said, "Swear first, then we can talk about other things, okay?"

The subtext is - you little bastard, the promise you just made was just the admission fee to meet me.

Unfortunately, the situation was stronger than the person. Even with the support of the entire Church of Light, Mr. Lvliu was still easily bullied by Bai Ye. The smile on his face became even more bitter. He had to point three fingers to the sky and quickly and shamefully swore the oath in front of us using his own name and faith, which made Heloise look funny and she kept making small moves secretly.

Seeing Mr. Green Willow being humiliated, the high elf seemed quite pleased.

Of course, those who are happy about it also include Bai Ye, who controls everything.

The necromancer lady's thin lips curved up in a satisfied arc.

"Very good. I believe that with your protection, Mr. Green Willow, our poster girl and adventurers will be safe. As for the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, I have collected some very interesting information, but unfortunately I have been busy investigating a mysterious monster murder case recently, so I can't remember the information from a few months ago."

"I will contact the church to send someone to take over your case." Lvliu agreed immediately.

But Bai Ye didn't appreciate it, and chuckled and said, "Sorry, I don't want to give up halfway this time. Besides, there is one thing I am quite concerned about, why do you have the aura of a monster on you, Mr. Lvliu?"

The breath of a monster?

Heloise and I all looked at Green Willow in surprise.

The so-called monsters are species that are incompatible with the nature of intelligent humans, such as vampires that feed on human blood, and soul-stealing imps that feed on negative emotions. These species that are naturally hostile to intelligent humans are collectively called monsters. From the perspective of the food chain cycle, they cannot coexist with intelligent humans.

One of the main reasons why the Church of the God of Light strictly prohibits people from having sex with monsters is that mixed-blood situations make it difficult for people to accurately judge the boundary between humans and monsters. If a gray area appears, in this society that increasingly advocates human rights and freedom, whether to kill or not will lead to a long and complicated interrogation process.

So, is Green Willow, who has been hiding her demon bloodline, a real demon, or just a human with demon blood?

Lvliu, whose past was exposed by Bai Ye, smiled calmly and said, "Miss Bai Ye, don't you know? We so-called exorcists are actually intelligent humans with monster blood mixed in. It is because we have monster blood in our bodies that we can more easily find monsters hiding in the city. And speaking of danger, don't you have a more dangerous race here?"

A more dangerous race?

What exactly does Green Willow refer to?

Thinking of Heloise's life story, my heart skipped a beat, and Bai Ye over there chuckled, "The only way to define monsters and non-monsters is to say whether they are dangerous or not. What's so scary about a half-lich like me who's bound by morality? Anyway—"

Just when the negotiation momentum was slightly leaning towards Lvliu, Bai Ye responded with a new rhetoric: "I remember that the Inquisition seems to be an agency on your side, right? Over the years, I have received a lot of care from them!"

When encountering Bai Ye, the creditor, Lvliu's calm attitude finally collapsed again: "Although those lunatics are very difficult to deal with, as long as you agree to cooperate with us, you will no longer be harassed by them in the future. We can even make an exception and let you become a citizen of our Church of Light as a necromancer..."

At this point, two different kinds of laughter rang out simultaneously from Bai Ye and Heloise.

Bai Ye couldn't help laughing and shook his head and said, "Join the Church of Light?! Mr. Lu Liu, your joke is really creative. It's simply the most novel mental attack skill. Let's make it short. I am a researcher who loves to pursue the truth. I am very interested in an angel magic of your Church of Light──"

Green Willow frowned and asked, "Is it a forbidden spell?"

"Don't worry, I don't need the magic of summoning angels. I just want to see the light of the end."

……

24. The Exorcist's Thoughts (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

"Don't worry, I don't need the magic of summoning angels. I just want to see the light of the end."

Bai Ye proposed such a transaction condition.

Mr. Green Willow showed a puzzled expression and asked fearfully, "Why do you want the Light of the End?"

Bai Ye raised two fingers and said, "First, please don't ask unnecessary questions. Second, please don't let me ask too many questions. Before we talk about the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, this is the only time you can provide additional information. I will sort out the information about the North Sea Chamber of Commerce based on the information you provide. If I were you, I would tell you everything about the Demon King and the Saint immediately."

Green Willow asked, "What do you want to know?"

Bai Ye smiled contemptuously and asked, "Do you want me to start talking about intelligence?"

Faced with Bai Ye's condescending attitude, Mr. Lvliu clenched his fists tightly under the table where only I could see.

It can be seen that he is under unprecedented pressure while confronting Bai Ye.

I felt a little sympathetic towards his situation, but I just watched the whole situation unfold.

After all, a big part of the reason why Bai Ye tried so hard to reveal Lvliu's trump card was probably to ensure my safety. Unlike me who was willing to trust others, Bai Ye was more inclined to eliminate all possible variables to achieve the greatest success. In order to achieve this goal, she did not hesitate to establish a cold-blooded image in front of others, and even regarded herself as a villain.

In the end, the Green Willow I trusted still kept a secret from all of us.

Only in front of Bai Ye did he have no choice but to tell the truth: "The Saint's body is a holy demon body. Her body is the only medium in the world that can withstand the arrival of the upper angels. Similarly, her body is also the only container that can withstand the power of the upper demons. It is because of this characteristic that we can seal Leia in her body."

After hearing the news, everyone present moved, except Bai Ye who remained indifferent.

The necromancer took a sip of the scented tea and continued to smile, waiting for the next words to be read.

Mr. Green Willow, he has something to hide: "As the former saint, Agatha is the most outstanding saint in history. According to the estimation of the Cardinal of the Holy Cloth, she has the ability to make the Seraphim spirit descend upon her. And correspondingly, she also has the possibility of assimilating with the Seven Deadly Sins. However, whether you want to summon the Seraphim or the Seven Deadly Sins, you must meet many harsh conditions."

Having said this, Mr. Lvliu looked at Bai Ye for confirmation, but Bai Ye still didn't say much.

"Since the end of the last Holy Demon War, most of the magic weapons of the Seven Deadly Sins have been taken over by our Church, but two-thirds of the magic weapons belonging to the sin of lust are missing. Up to now, we have not found their whereabouts. Under such circumstances, Fraud, who is under the command of Lust, has come to the world of the living by chance."

Having said this, the expression on Bai Ye's face finally changed significantly.

Her faint smile was filled with a hint of sarcasm. "You clearly control a large part of the resources in society, but you, the Church of Light, can even make trouble for your own saint. In the end, you had to ask for help from me, a necromancer. This really makes me wonder if our social resources are misallocated. Should we have a revolution to improve the distribution of power?"

Mr. Lvliu was immediately a little embarrassed, but who could blame him for representing the Church of Light, which Bai Ye hated the most?

With Bai Ye's weak spot held, he could only scratch his messy hair, suppressing his annoyance with a grim face.

Bai Ye did not embarrass him too much. She just made a few sarcastic remarks as usual and then turned to the main topic: "First of all, congratulations to the Temple of Light, even though a demon king was accidentally lost. But Leia's goal is indeed as you predicted. Before Saint Agatha disappeared, those stupid good-for-nothings in the North Sea Chamber of Commerce were indeed working for someone."

Mr. Lvliu asked, "Excuse me, what's going on with the Beihai Chamber of Commerce now?"

Bai Ye crossed his arms and smiled as if he was reminiscing about the good old days. "All the key figures are dead. Since they are dead, you can no longer find a living person to interrogate. But I can give you a hint - they have already found the one serving that master. As long as they can take back the remaining one, their long-cherished wish will be fulfilled."

Mr. Green Willow questioned, "How can I believe what you say?"

Bai Ye shrugged nonchalantly and smiled: "I can say that I have read the secret documents of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce; I can also say that I have infiltrated their inner circle; I can even say that I have read their memories... But dear Exorcist, please remember that I am not a criminal, and I have no obligation to provide evidence to convince you."

At this time, Mr. Lvliu became tough for the first time: "I do not rule out the use of force if necessary."

Bai Ye chuckled softly: "Let's not talk about whether you are my opponent or not. Even if you win, what does it matter? Can you tell the truth from the falsehood in my words? The descendant of a monster is worthy of being the descendant of a monster. Even if you become a core member of the church, your heart is still so suspicious. You have no idea how great and kind the virtue of unconditional trust is──"

Mr. Green Willow said dissatisfiedly: "There are too few clues. You should know more."

"Don't be impatient—"

Bai Ye refilled everyone's cups with tea one by one, and said leisurely: "Mr. Luliu, haven't I already given you the last piece of information? Why do you still complain that the information is too little? Since Leia's goal is to revive lust among the seven deadly sins, then you just need to guard the magic weapon in your hands, and Agatha will appear in front of you by herself, right?"

Mr. Lvliu looked determined and explained, "Defense alone is not enough. The safest approach is to find out the location of the Saint and Leia as soon as possible, and then retrieve them based on their current conditions. Miss Bai Ye, please stop doubting and testing me, okay? I have really told you everything I should tell you."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't really want to question you. It's my habit to question everything around me. As for finding Agatha, I can give you an idea - any demon summoning ritual requires sacrifices. In addition to the three magic weapons and the saint as a container, what else does the sin of lust want?"

"A lot of virgins?"

Green Willow put forward a hypothesis.

Bai Ye smiled meaningfully: "The following opinions will be charged extra."

Looking at the greedy Bai Ye in front of me, I almost suspected that she was the one who caused the disappearance of the saint.

Just by saying a few words, you can get a lot of benefits. This is simply the ugliest blackmail of this century. But the so-called information dealer is also a legitimate profession. Intelligence can be sold at a high price because it has value. At least for the current situation, Mr. Green Willow can only write another check for Bai Ye.

"What else do you want?"

Bai Ye licked his lower lip and said seductively like a snake, "Because I am not absolutely sure, I will not charge too much for the next part. I need the addresses and related information of several ancient civilization ruins. Judging from the style of your Church of Light, you should have secretly sent people to explore in recent years, right?"

How should I put it? Bai Ye is really full of sexiness now.

Look at Miss Sora over there──

He didn't even notice that his quill had fallen to the ground.

Facing Bai Ye's seduction, the chicken-coop-haired Lvliu seemed to be incompetent. He just coughed lightly, and the charm disappeared without a trace: "I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to agree to this request. Please make other conditions."

"What about the portal to the Dark Alliance? I want access to it."
