Guild Boss's Ambition
Page 45
My mouth is on my body, so why don't you dissect me?
I blinked and lied, "Don't worry, I will never mention you to the little guy."
But she didn't seem to believe me: "Stinky old man, I will make you pay the price sooner or later."
I shrugged my shoulders and said teasingly, "My salary is not much, the most I can do is to treat you to a cup of Monfany ice cream next door. If you don't like ice cream, I can cook you a pot of black dog meat in private."
"I'm starting to want to kill someone." She glared at me viciously.
"Just think about it. If you do it, you'll be breaking the law." I did not forget to remind her of her own principles.
Ah──Hu──
She took a deep breath and let out a long exhale.
I think she was going to go crazy with me.
Is a necromancer who cannot participate in experiments on living beings or souls still a necromancer?
Is it still possible for her to pursue her eternal life?
I was her, and I think I was going crazy too.
Don't push her too hard.
There has to be a proper way to raise a monster. Putting shackles on her will only restrict her movements.
The most terrifying thing is the monster's heart.
She is incurable, because that is how she should be.
"Another mission to treat people's illnesses? I have no place to spend the money I earned now, so why am I working so hard on the mission?"
After she finished reading the task scroll, she revealed a vicious look and threw the scroll at me as if to vent her anger. The scroll was soft and it didn't hurt much. I smiled indifferently and shouted to her departing back.
"Bai Ye, let's exchange some information with each other, shall we?"
She stopped, struggled for a while, and finally walked back.
"It would be great if the information you give me would be valuable."
Bai Ye glared at me with gritted teeth, but she, a monster that could only roar but not attack, looked so ridiculous. She exchanged her freedom for the continuation of her life, and now she could only accept the constraints of social morality instead of simply obeying the laws of the alliance.
I asked curiously, "Can you tell me about that open secret?"
She asked in a vigilant tone: "Why are you asking this?"
I answered honestly, "It's just the curiosity of an appraiser."
"Is that really all?"
She looked at me suspiciously for a long time, and finally spoke: "We have an underground association in Mopolis City. The members of the association include necromancers like me and other researchers. Through this association, we can buy materials for experiments from the official."
"official?"
When I heard this word, I shuddered.
Bai Ye continued as if nothing had happened: "According to the general procedure, the death row prisoners will be publicly executed. Most of the time, they will be hanged on the execution rack by soldiers, but in fact, they are just in a state of suspended animation. Next, the authorities will keep the bodies of the death row prisoners in the name of preventing someone from resurrecting them, and finally transfer them to the trading market of our underground association."
"Why did the city lord allow this to happen?"
I'm scared.
Bai Ye replied calmly, "Because there are many monsters like me, and we all have terrible influence, Lord Surut doesn't want to create more enemies for Mopolis City, so he decided to compromise with us and supply us with experimental subjects by legal but not bright means. However, in fact, he and you have also gained a lot of benefits from our unethical experiments."
I began to feel that I knew too much.
But I wouldn't mind knowing more.
"Isn't the city lord afraid that you will release the death row prisoners? Or expose this shady business?"
Bai Ye yawned and explained, "We have to hand over the bodies after each experiment, and the city lord and his men were very careful and did not leave us enough strong evidence. Moreover, even if the matter was exposed, their actions are still protected by the law. Well, I have said enough here, you should give me something useful in return, right?"
Yes, I must open a door to her eternal life.
Even if it is a small door.
I found a travelogue of the mainland from the pile of photo books and put it on the table.
"Two hundred years ago, an adventurer from our Stone House brought back news about the Three Paths Flute. The Three Paths Flute is a relic of Hades. Legend has it that it has the power to resurrect all living things. I think you, who have already achieved physical immortality, will be very interested in it."
Turning to the cover page of the mainland travelogue, Bai Ye revealed a disdainful smile.
"According to the descriptions in various ancient books, the power of the Three Paths Flute may indeed contain the secrets of soul life. But, old man, aren't you afraid that I, who have found the Three Paths Flute, will trigger the third undead disaster? You know, the blue moon that symbolizes death disappeared from the sky at the cost of many people's blood—"
Bai Ye was right, the undead disasters recorded in history were all extremely terrifying.
The two natural disasters in the past 800 years were both major wars that killed millions of lives.
That is a past that time can only dilute but cannot forget.
but……
"I naturally don't believe in an evil necromancer, but I believe that as long as Miss Lannong is supervising you, you won't be so crazy even if you get the Three Paths Flute. Moreover, if you can really find a way to achieve eternal life from it, it will be a blessing for all mankind."
"For the benefit of all mankind?"
Her eyes were filled with mockery: "Even if I found the method of eternal life, I don't necessarily want to share it with all of humanity, right?"
I suggested to her, "You can sell it to them for a price that you deserve."
"However, life is priceless."
A necromancer said so.

21. Miss Korolo's Romance (Little Blue)
(Ulu-Lannon)
At 6:25 pm, I was on the rooftop enjoying the sunset breeze as usual.
Sister Menger went to a meeting early today and is not expected to be back until at least after the dinner.
The matter of Berlani's leave of absence for training has also been put on the agenda. I have arranged for her to teach Gushan what to do as a foreman.
Yesterday, Hai Lao told me about Bai Ye again, saying that she wanted to study the innocent elements again.
I have mixed feelings about White Nights.
She has an almost unscrupulous passion for immortality, and her moral values are completely different from those of ordinary people. She takes the law of the jungle for granted. In her eyes, flowers, trees, birds, beasts, dwarves, goblins, and even humans of her own race all have the same cruelty.
The only person she loves is herself and the person she wants to love.
And the law is a means to satisfy her selfishness.
She has no conscience, or rather, conscience is her selfishness.
She always satisfies herself first and then talks about other things.
I don't know how I should face such a twisted monster.
Should I punish her? Should I praise her? Should I ignore her?
I do not know.
There is no absolute answer.
But I'm the only one who can stop her.
Finally, I made a decision.
Use the laws on earth to restrain her.
I just thought of this method.
"Xiao Lan, you came to watch the sunset again today──"
A familiar yet awkward voice sounded behind me, calling me back from my thoughts.
I turned around to look at the source of the sound, and saw a beautiful girl in chef's uniform slowly walking towards me. Her blonde hair was dyed a warm purple-red in the sunset, her eyebrows seemed to be smiling, and the rouge on her lips was crystal clear, making people want to kiss her.
It’s the same old saying, what a pity he is a man.
"Miss Ke Luoluo, the evening market has just begun, aren't you busy?"
"Senior Stallone is training the two newcomers and has banned me from appearing in the kitchen."
He answered my question with a smile and sat next to me on the edge of the rooftop.
People always say fools like dangerous heights, but we actually just yearn for freedom, so that our tired eyes can look around freely. Sometimes I really want to temporarily break off relations with people and go on a long journey alone.
However, what you can't let go of can't be let go of.
And now, am I not experiencing a magical journey?
I gave a smile to my colleague and friend from another world, gave her half of the peeled orange, and suddenly a question popped into my mind.
"Speaking of which, why doesn't Miss Luo Luo use this self-proclaimed name when she talks to me and Gu Shan?"
After hearing my question, Miss Luo Luo was also stunned, and then she chuckled beautifully: "Oh? You mean that one, the one who claimed to be used to stimulate the seniors and the president. After all, you and Gu Shan don't have that kind of talent, right?"
"So--Is that a taunting skill reserved for a masochist like you?"
I was speechless for a while because of Miss Kololo's explanation, but since it was a rare opportunity to be alone with him, I just continued the unfinished exploration in the lounge that day. I took advantage of my female advantage and asked directly: "By the way, Miss Kololo, I heard from Sauna that you seem to have someone you like?"
"Cough! Cough!"
"Cough! Cough! Cough cough—"
Faced with my sudden attack, the transvestite who was chewing an orange was immediately choked and burst into tears. He finally adjusted his breathing and then hurriedly clarified the rumor to me: "No, I think this is a sauna and he misunderstood it. Xiaolan, don't take it seriously!"
Gentlemen, I suddenly feel that transvestites in love are so cute.
This feeling of being in love yet trying hard to hide it is so cute.
I couldn't help but continue teasing him: "I heard that man is an employee of Water World?"
His face gradually turned rosy pink, but he pretended to be calm and resisted my questioning: "You said I don't have anyone I like! Now Luo Luo only cares about his duty as a chef. Love and affection are just floating clouds in the sky!"
I looked up at the colorful clouds in the sky and frowned deeply.
"Why don't I see Uncle Strom in the sky?"
"..."
My casual complaint immediately petrified Miss Korolo. In fact, after the last discussion about office romance, I had already found the answer I wanted from Miss Korolo's expression.
"It seems like you really have a crush on Uncle Strom."
I smiled with satisfaction for successfully uncovering this relationship.
In contrast to my excitement, Miss Luo Luo suddenly became depressed. She turned her face away with a look of hurt, so that I could not see her expression. Her usually vigorous and masculine voice became unusually cold and depressed: "Don't you feel disgusted?"
Disgusting? Does it mean that having sex with a man is a disgusting thing?
If falling in love with the same sex is disgusting, then aren't Miss Korolo and I equally disgusting?
"Not disgusting at all!" I shook my head seriously and defended myself with the words of Osho: "Because love has no direction, it is not directed to anyone; love is of the soul, a manifestation of one's own self."
Hearing my rejection without any hesitation, Miss Luo Luo turned around in surprise, with tears of gratitude in her eyes.
However, he did not lean on my shoulder and pour out his heart as I had written in my script. Instead, he reached out his fair hands and rubbed my head, the one who agreed with him, in a vengeful way: "People always say that children have clear eyes. It seems that there is some truth to this -"
"Perhaps you should describe me as mature and steady." I was so confused that I was speechless.
He wiped his tears and said jokingly, "That won't work. An old and heavy-bodied poster girl is too much for the guests."
"Are you talking about strong taste?" I complained loudly.
"Who just said that love is a manifestation of one's own self?" he retorted to me loudly.
"It's not me! It's Osho!"
“Who is Osho?”
"If you don't know, go ask Baidu yourself!"
"Who is Baidu?"
"Google sister's best friend!"
"Xiao Lan, what are you talking about?!"
