Chapter 35 The Evil Dragon Wants to Go to the Human World?
Chapter 35 The Evil Dragon Wants to Go to the Human World?
Lance, the Undead Mage, teaches you online how to properly use a nemesis.
For Lance's nemesis... it's somewhat tragic, failing to kill Lance while alive, and after death, facing the risk of being summoned from Hell by Lance to be used up as a "battle companion".
It's somewhat unwise to be the enemy of an apprentice Grim Reaper who has signed a contract with Hell.
Death God Solomon mourns for Lance's nemesis for a second.
Lance is his partner, he and Lance are in cahoots; he ought to protect Lance and that means protecting Lance.
Having collaborated for nearly a thousand years, why would he protect Lance's nemesis instead of Lance?
If Lance's nemesis could kill Lance... then he would be quite willing to support Lance's nemesis.
"Don't go too far, the undead in Hell can't be freely used up, remember, if your nemesis dies, make sure the report says 'killed in action'. Then over on the side of Hell... forget it, within the bounds of my authority, I will take care of the descendants of those killed in action."
"I'm not as scheming as you think."
"Right, right, right, you're not scheming. Besides renewing the contract, there's another thing I want to talk to you about so you are mentally prepared."
"What is it?"
"Recently, Hell has been expanding business with the Demon Race, as you know, some of the creatures from the Demon Race... are powerful and ruthless. The casualty rate for apprentice Grim Reapers is a bit high. I was chatting with a few Grim Reaper friends yesterday, and they said... even some Hell Grim Reapers got taken out by lord-level Evil Spirits...
The higher-ups may transfer some competent Grim Reapers over there. My strength is still alright, and the apprentice Grim Reaper I collaborate with isn't bad either. We might be transferred. If I need your help then, you must help me."
"When you get to the Demon Race, you will develop new 'apprentice Grim Reapers'. Why not find a few powerful individuals from the Demon Race and turn them into 'apprentice Grim Reapers'? Asking me to help you... it isn't as simple as a cross-district shift, it's across continents. Just the transmission fee to the Demon Realm is an astronomical figure to me."
Each Hell Grim Reaper has their own designated area. In the Human World, apprentice Grim Reapers who have signed contracts with Hell Grim Reapers can occasionally cross districts to fight or complete bounty tasks.
It's different for the Demon Race.
The Demon Race is on another continent, where the creatures believe in the Demon God, thinking their souls head off to "Demon God's Paradise" after death.
"Demon God's Paradise" is similar in nature to "Hell".
He's not exactly clear on the specifics of what happens to the souls of the Demon Race after death, but one thing is certain, "Demon God's Paradise" truly exists.
Hell's expansion of business into the Demon Realm...
That's normal...
He temporarily has no desire to go to the Demon Race; his Young Dragon is still too weak for meaningful engagement. Going to the Demon Race wouldn't be interesting.
Indeed, the transmission fee to him is an astronomical figure.
"I'll give you all the bounty tasks I've collected over the years, so you can earn more."
"Don't speak anymore, just send over the bounty tasks, and I'll take a look later. After I complete them, I'll contact you."
"You really don't show any respect for me as your superior..."
Expressing his dissatisfaction, Death God Solomon ended the projected call, first letting Lance get revenge for those two short-lived apprentice Grim Reapers he had signed up.
With Lance's excellence, maybe when Lance dies, those two short-lived apprentice Grim Reapers will become his competent assistants.
Besides... dying quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, they are fairly competent in other aspects.
Death God Solomon sent the bounty tasks to Lance through the Grim Reaper's Scythe.
.....
The Evil Dragon has once again become an "apprentice Grim Reaper"?
Doesn't this mean she again has the chance to inherit the position of the Evil Dragon "apprentice Grim Reaper"?
Inherit what apprentice Grim Reaper position? It would make more sense for the Evil Dragon to inherit her own throne.
There are people who get worn down to death, but Dragons don't get worn down to death.
Right, right, the Hell Grim Reaper mentioned earlier that there are bounty tasks for the Evil Dragon, does that mean....
The Evil Dragon might have to make a trip to the Human World soon?!!!
Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes!!!
The opportunity has arrived!
As long as the Evil Dragon takes her to the Human World, she'll have the chance to escape.
Lucia felt her heartbeat was a bit fast; she quite liked the Evil Dragon, she didn't despise it.
But she wasn't a real Young Dragon, and staying by the Evil Dragon's side... she felt uneasy.
It was better to leave earlier rather than later.
She mustn't get excited, she needed to stay calm, she couldn't let the Evil Dragon see her freak out.
"Lance, the Hell Grim Reaper's bounty task... do you have to go to the Human World to complete it?"
"No, I can subcontract it out."
"???"
Subcontract it out... what did that mean?
To transfer a bounty task from Hell to someone else?
To let someone else complete the bounty task from Hell on his behalf?
But... a bounty task from Hell was only worth 35 Gold Coins, and it was a "Death" level bounty task.
Would anyone risk their life to take on such a high-risk, low-reward bounty task?
35 Gold Coins, were worth less than a pair of her shoes, a piece of clothing, a cloak...
Lucia didn't believe anyone would be willing to take on a bounty task with such low compensation.
"The reward for a bounty task from Hell is 35 Gold Coins, such a paltry sum. Would anybody really be willing to take on potentially life-threatening tasks for that amount?"
"The reward is not the issue, let me first take a look at the bounty task issued by the Hell Grim Reaper."
The Young Dragon had a limited understanding, not knowing the wondrous uses of Hell Gold Coins in the Human World, nor how popular they were in the Human's supernatural world.
Death God Solomon's bounty task offered a reward of 35 Gold Coins, and he only had to pay out 5 Gold Coins, and the supernatural beings of the Human World would be scrambling to take it on.
Hell Gold Coins, in the Human World, had another name: Soul Coins.
A single Soul Coin could be used to communicate with the deceased once.
In situations of life-threatening danger, if one kept a Soul Coin in their mouth, it could help avoid tracking by magical beasts and formidable enemies.
Besides these two uses, there were many other incredible benefits, making Hell Gold Coins very popular in the supernatural world.
Lance was not worried at all about being unable to subcontract the bounty task from Hell.
The Grim Reaper's Scythe's black mist rose, gradually turning blood-red in the air.
A line of blood-red text materialized in the air.
Hell bounty task, number: [388895610].
Difficulty: Death level.
Description: In the vicinity of Lion City in the Keli Province of the Norde Kingdom, an Undead Lich that has been devouring the Soul Fires of the dead has appeared.
Eliminate him.
Reward upon completion: In addition to a sizeable sum of money, a mysterious reward from the Hell Grim Reaper will also be granted.
The blood-red text made the Young Dragon feel gloomy and dreadful.
Fortunately, it was broad daylight, and an Evil Dragon was by her side; if she were alone, she might have nightmares sleeping at night.
To kill an Undead Lich.
Undead Liches are not Wizards.
Undead Liches are a type of Undead creature and can no longer be described as human.
Undead Liches are even more terrifying than Wizards; to become true Undead, they would stoop to anything.
The Farolan Empire has a decree: if an Undead Lich is discovered, it must be killed on the spot, burned to ashes, or purified with Holy Water and Holy Light.
"Lance, it's an Undead Lich, will the powerful beings of the Human World... dare to take on this bounty task?"
"You're underestimating the impoverished supernatural beings of the Human World. Their motto is: as long as you pay up, they'll even shatter a Giant Dragon for you.
Those who are especially poor have an even crazier motto: if the price is right, even Deities will be shattered for you."
"???"
