Chapter 939 Sneaking Into The Guild

Bernie’s body burned. However, Shirley and Helen realized Bernie’s clothes weren’t burned and his skin wasn’t charred.

This scene confused the two of them even more.

“What strange flames. It doesn’t have any effect at all.

Helen nodded in agreement. “I’ve read many books, but I’ve never read of such a flame.”

Lu Yu turned to Helen and asked, “This is Undead Fire that burns a person’s soul. After burning thoroughly, it will turn a person into a puppet that can be controlled at will.”

Hearing this, Helen’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly asked, “I seem to have read about it. There have been cases of undead armies invading the human world. Could those undead armies be all puppets that were burned to death by this flame?”

“It should be a similar situation.”

Lu Yu turned back and continued to look at the corpse.

Gradually, the flames weakened and disappeared.

Bernie was still lying on the ground with no visible burns.

Suddenly, he raised his arm and supported himself, slowly standing up.

Helen and Shirley were so scared that they stepped back and looked at Bernie in shock.

“He… He stood up!”

“Did he come back to life, or is he a puppet?”

Bernie turned around and looked at everyone.

His eyes were lifeless, and his movements were stiff.

The living would blink occasionally and have micro-expressions, but Bernie’s face was deathly still. His eyes never blinked, and his cheeks were frozen in place with no change in his expression.

“Yeah, he’s dead. He doesn’t look like a normal person at all.”

Shirley walked up to Bernie and waved her arm in front of his eyes.

Sure enough, Bernie didn’t have any reaction.

“Sigh, why did you choose this path? In order to become stronger, can you really do anything?”

Shirley sighed and shook her head helplessly.

“What do you plan to do next?” The Empress looked at Lu Yu and asked.

“I’ll bring this fellow to the Mage Guild’s headquarters and see if we can sneak in.”

“Are you confident? Will there be any accidents?”

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders. “We have to try whether it works or not. If anything happens, we will leave for now and continue heading deep into the Empire.”

“After exposing your identity, are you planning to retreat immediately?”

The Empress continued to ask.

She waved the dagger in her hand as if she wanted to fight too.

“If our identities are exposed, we could fight them to the very end. However, we will be forced to leave the empire after that.”

“So, it’s better if we leave if Bernie is exposed. We’ll make further plans after we investigate the situation in the Ember Empire.”

The Empress nodded in agreement.

“No problem. I think that’s a good plan. Just be as cautious as possible.”

“Alright, I’ll let Bernie lead the way for me.”

Under Lu Yu’s control, Bernie began to saunter forward.
Helen and Shirley looked at Bernie and were weirded out. They even felt their hair stand on end.

A dead man walking. Any normal person would be terrified of such a thing.

Bernie slowly walked out of the basement and reached the surface.

Lu Yu and the others followed.

“Are we going back to bed?”

Lu Yu looked at the Empress and replied, “You guys go ahead and take a rest. I’ll bring Bernie over and see if I can find an opportunity to find something.”

“It’s so late at night. There shouldn’t be a chance, especially when they’re all asleep.”

“No, they won’t be asleep. They are making potions that need human sacrifice, and their victims won’t be captured openly.”

“So, if they want more sacrifices, they must act at night.”

Lu Yu’s answer enlightened the Empress. “That’s true. They can only be active at night!”

“I’ll go over and take a look at the situation first. You can go back to bed and protect the two of them.”

The Empress raised the sharp dagger and said, “Don’t worry, leave them to me. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Shirley looked at Lu Yu worriedly and asked, “Why don’t we go with you? We can help you. Otherwise, it’ll be too dangerous.”

“No need. Just stay in your room and wait for my news.”

Helen nodded helplessly but still reminded him, “The Mage Guild is massive, and there are many cultivators within. It is best to be cautious, as stirring the hornets’ nest is something we want to avoid.”

She did not know the upper limit of Lu Yu’s strength, but she knew the overall scale of the Mage Guild.

The guild was so strong in their eyes that they could only look up to it in awe. The chase of one person fighting against the entire guild was utterly non-existent!

“Good luck. We’ll head back to bed.”

Helen waved at Lu Yu and walked into the house they were staying in.

Under the dim streetlights, the three of them gradually left the yard.

Thus, Lu Yu left the manor with Bernie.

As soon as he walked out of the manor, he saw some bloodstains in front of him.

These were all left behind by the people who had just been rescued as they fled the manor.

Lu Yu had to act as soon as possible. Once those people returned home and told everyone what happened here, it would mean that Bernie was exposed.

At that time, Lu Yu would no longer be able to use Bernie’s identity to head into the Mage Guild, nor would he be able to use him to meet the core members of the guild.

Lu Yu strode quickly down the dark street.

In this backward era, there were naturally no streetlamps at night.

Lu Yu walked quickly in the darkness, heading toward the castle where the guild was located.

After passing through a few streets, Lu Yu gradually saw the entrance of the castle where he had been during the day.

Only a few windows were still lit up in the dark castle. The two guards at the entrance were still guarding their posts, constantly vigilant of their surroundings.

Bernie approached the guards as Lu Yu pulled his hood down as much as he could, covering half his face.

At the door, Bernies spoke up, “I’m here to supply potions.”

The two men looked at each other and sized up Bernie.

“Show me your badge. It’s so late, yet you’re still working?”

Bernie took out a badge from his pocket and put it in his palm for the two to look at carefully.

“Clear, you can go in. But what’s with the person behind you?”

A guard looked at Lu Yu and asked curiously.

“I… I just caught him. He’s talented, and I especially brought him here. Don’t tell anyone.”

Lu Yu pretended he heard nothing and looked around curiously like an ignorant child.

The two guards immediately understood Bernie’s words. They nodded slightly and opened the big iron gates.

Hence, Bernie brought Lu Yu into the Mage Guild smoothly.
