Chapter 366: Hand of Undying Priest

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Hand of Undying Priest

Han Dong didn’t care about the terrifying Evil Qi radiating from Lucius’s body or the possibility of blood seeping into his skin.

Nor did he mind the exorbitant price quoted.

Staring at the wooden box on the table, sealed with an ancient spell and specks of sand clinging to it, Han Dong faintly caught a whiff of ‘Black Magic’.

“This is…”

As Han Dong could not help reaching out to touch the wooden box,

Slap!

He was abruptly thwarted by the blood that popped up out of nowhere.

“Don’t rush to touch it; this thing is quite dangerous… Since it’s a trade, we need to see the money before you can check the goods.”

“Okay!”

Han Dong decisively turned on the ‘Treasury’ function enclosed in the wind-up watch, revealing a storage of 10,000 copper coins.

“Didn’t expect you could get so much money… If I’d known earlier, I would have quoted 10,000 copper coins, the excess would then be the mental distress compensation you owe us.”

“Haha…can I check the goods first?” Han Dong laughed awkwardly.

“Sure.”

Before opening the wooden box,

Lucius bit his finger, allowing threads of his vital blood to sprinkle the table.

Under his control, the blood formed a solid external formation to restrain the arm within the box.

At the same time, Jane, his senior sister, also manipulated the shadows in the area, and Lunze summoned the death energy within his body, ready to assist in the restraint at any time.

…

Ka!

As the wooden box was opened,

a smattering of sand spiraled in the air, even forming a mini sand vortex.

However, as the activation of the blood formation quickly suppressed the airborne sand, it fell on the table and was enveloped by the blood.

What lay in the wooden box was a “mummified hand wrapped in wrinkled and partly decayed white bandages”.

This bandage seemed to also serve as a form of sealing mechanism…

“Let me briefly explain the origin of this hand.

Firstly, there is absolutely no problem with this hand’s ‘freshness’. It was separated from its main body only three days ago… and it also possesses some self-consciousness.”

“Okay.” Han Dong nodded, he could distinctly feel that the arm was ‘alive’.

“My team and I, having an appropriate Fate Card on hand and needing some props from the World of Fate, went into the Fate Space during the cooldown period, without needing any points.

We encountered an event called “The Mummy”.

This hand comes from the high priest, Imhotep, who is sealed deep in Hamunaptra in this event.”

“What?!”

In his previous life, Han Dong had naturally seen this classic film, and it was counted as one of the peak works of fantasy movies at that time.

This ancient Egyptian high priest suffered the fate of ‘bug eaten’ due to serious crimes, and eventually turned into a mummy that could bring about destructive disasters to the world…

In Han’s eyes,

this kind of film level is something only a soldier-level knight could possibly encounter, and he never expected that the newly broken Lucius would meet one.

“Did you kill the High Priest?”

“No… Our mission wasn’t to kill him, just to take away some important props. The constantly resurrecting High Priest would be constantly hindering us during this process.

Whenever he sucked a tomb raider dry, he’d recover part of his power.

The Fate Event’s [Speed up] setting comes right at the moment when the High Priest fully recovers.

We left right before he fully recovered, having just met the baseline requirement for the level… after all, we weren’t getting any points, so there was no big significance for a perfect clear.

As long as we got what we wanted.

This hand was perfectly severed by Jane when the High Priest Imhotep had just recovered to the ‘Second Phase’.”

“I’ll take this arm.”

Han Dong didn’t hesitate to give Lucius 8,000 copper coins directly through the portable transfer function of the ‘Treasury’.

Ka!

The wooden box was closed, and the arm was sealed again.

“It was a pleasure doing business.”

Although there was indeed some friction between Han Dong and them.

But after the last outing, Lucius immediately checked Han Dong’s identity in private, eventually finding one person – Mr. Black White.

Therefore, it wasn’t quite appropriate to pick a fight with Han Dong in the academy.

If Han Dong gave money and they didn’t give the goods in this trade… Mr. Black White would surely know at the first moment.

Moreover, such an arm wasn’t of much use for them to keep.

Eight thousand copper coins were absolutely enough for Lucius to buy some precious materials to forge his equipment required for the Knight Stage.

“Thanks again, senior…”

Han Dong, holding the wooden box, quickly left.

The Necromancer apprentice, Lunze, was very angry, but he didn’t dare to act rashly because of Lucius’s presence.

“Captain, this little guy messed up our plan back then.

We could have gotten the invaluable ‘Ghoul Medal’… but ended up with nothing and almost had an accident.”

However, Lucius was not angry at all and said calmly, “That’s our problem… That’s the price for underestimating someone and not being careful.

Lunze, stop bothering this student after today.

I was in close contact with him just now, he was completely unaffected by my ‘Evil Qi’… Moreover, I could sense quite a strange energy from his body which wouldn’t let my blood penetrate normally.”

Lunze was surprised, “How is that possible? Didn’t you already break the breed?”

“This student of the Crow Prophet has more secrets hidden in his body than all of us can imagine… I suspect, the ‘Old King Incident’ last time has a direct connection with him.

In any case, let’s let bygones be bygones.

Split this money between the two of you, buy some necessary materials, and prepare well for [Breaking Seed].”

…

Han Dong, who left the bar,

completely forgot the oppressive feeling brought by Lucius and his people.

With his full attention on the arm in the wooden box, he immediately hailed a luxury carriage to return to the Mysterious Department.

Once he verifies the usability of the arm, Han Dong will carry out a ‘qualitative’ modification on his body tonight.

“It’s really happening… The High Priest of the Undying Priest, Imhotep, whose arm in the movie could bring great disasters to the world, was obtained just like that.

This arm corresponds to the Black Magic that truly originates from Ancient Egypt! It’s totally worth the price… I’ll repay Dumps’ money in the future.

The ‘Incomplete Substance’ that was cut from Imhotep before his full recovery is more than enough for my current usage.

On the contrary, I can’t control the real complete arm at this time.

Also, the Imhotep’s mummy arm, which needs to be continuously perfected, indirectly suggests that this arm still has room for development, can be improved by meeting certain conditions, and even raise its quality…”

During the journey, Han Dong kept the Little Demon Eye active to observe the surroundings of the coach, making sure no accident occurred en route to the Mysterious Department.

“Most importantly… why does this arm react to my head?”
