CHAPTER 668: CHAPTER 538 JOINING THE GANG

Dream City.

The highest skyscraper’s top floor.

The gathering of the robbers was still ongoing.

All the servers had withdrawn.

The man in a tailcoat—

Some called him "Duke of Abyss," among the many robbers, he seemed to be the most powerful one.

—whatever he said, almost no one opposed.

"All right, everyone, your information is very valuable, please feel free to exchange it with other friends in need," he announced.

Several robbers immediately approached the cloaked woman.

The other robbers also found the holders of the information according to their own ideas and began to converse.

The Duke of Abyss walked straight towards Wu Xiaode.

"Daville, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard from you; it’s unexpected that you’ve discovered such valuable information," the Duke of Abyss greeted him with a smile.

"Which part of the information would you like?" asked Wu Xiaode.

"I want all that you know," said the Duke of Abyss.

"Then, what are you willing to pay for it?" Wu Xiaode asked again.

The Duke of Abyss casually waved his hand, and suddenly a transparent barrier appeared around the two of them, isolating them from others.

The Duke of Abyss smiled proudly and spoke,

"Among the ’Tomb of Laws’ deck, the hardest to obtain is the third card ’Babylon,’ it requires absorbing all the treasures of a great tomb to regain its former glory."

"As for the fourth card ’Radiant Holy Light,’ I’ve already got it in my hands."

"So that person will definitely not be able to collect a full set of ’Tomb of Laws’ cards."

Knowing that he was trading information, Wu Xiaode said,

"What I know is that he has already obtained the first and second cards, named ’Eternal Night Star’ and ’Heir of the World Tree’."

The Duke of Abyss contemplated for a few moments, then spoke, "I have heard of these two cards, they are extremely rare treasures that I am very interested in."

"What puzzles me is how that guy, after killing the Purgatory Demon King, vanished without a trace for many years."

"How did he travel through time?"

"It’s the flag of the Master of Time, that flag has the power to carry people through time," said Wu Xiaode.

"I see..." the Duke of Abyss said, enlightened, "That’s quite the unexpected answer, but I can feel it’s the right one."

He sized up Wu Xiaode, then after a moment of thought, he said,

"I am currently assembling a team to go to that great tomb to get the treasures of Babylon first."

"It seems that you’re also interested in that deck of cards," said Wu Xiaode.

—The other party has the fourth card!

Sooner or later, he would have to face this Duke of Abyss; it would be better to understand more about this guy now.

"I am indeed interested; you see, that deck of cards will eventually..."

The Duke of Abyss suddenly stopped speaking mid-sentence.

He was holding out for a better offer.

However, Wu Xiaode wasn’t fooled.

—He had sold information about the deck, proving he didn’t want to acquire it.

Yet, at this moment, he was again paying attention to the other secrets of the deck—

This would seem very off, logically speaking.

After all, Daville wasn’t such a powerful robber, and he needed to act with caution here.

Wu Xiaode smiled and said nonchalantly,

"I’m not really interested in the secrets of the deck; if you think you shouldn’t speak of it, then let’s leave it at that."

"Daville," the Duke of Abyss, seeing his reaction, seemed pleased, and gently patted his shoulder, "Your ability to gather information impresses me. I am organizing manpower to go to the great tomb to search for the treasures of Babylon, but I wonder if you have any particular skills in distractions, disguise, deception, and tomb robbing?"

The test came!

Once passed, there was an attempt to recruit.

The other party needed help!

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts raced.

From this conversation, it was obvious that even robbers going to the great tomb would need to resort to the most ancient methods of excavation.

Clearly—

The guardians of the tomb world were far more powerful than the robbers!

Otherwise, with the robbers’ methods, they could have easily destroyed a world and taken every treasure cleanly.

Given this—

Should he join in?

This guy had the fourth card and was coveting the third one.

Moreover,

A group of robbers were going to dig up graves, and he had lost his power, completely unable to stop it.

He must get involved!

"I am actually quite skilled at excavating treasures," said Wu Xiaode.

"Are you certain?" the Duke of Abyss eyed him.

"Yes, I’m quite impressive at digging things up without alerting any presence; that’s my specialty," Wu Xiaode confidently said.

In his Holy Treasure Ring, an item lay quietly, having been placed there for a long time.

It was an inconspicuous shovel.

"Holy Shovel."

"Divine Artifact, unique item."

"Usage restriction: Only beings with Holy Power can use it."

"The only function: dig the corners of any building."

"Effect 1: Infallible digging;"

"Effect 2: All excavations performed with this shovel are for the purpose of saving the world, salvaging all beings, supporting justice, and defeating evil. Therefore, the digging process is protected by the Law and will not alarm any existence."

"——When you pick it up, you will represent justice in your excavation."

Even the prison that held all beings and the Demon God was breached by Ulysses with a passage!

From this, it can be seen that the shovel is actually a quite valuable treasure.

If it were used to dig the great tomb, I believe it would also be of great use!

Wu Xiaode was full of confidence about this.

The Duke of Abyss looked at him and couldn’t help but believe him a bit.

"Then come work for me, we are about to set off for that great tomb soon," said the Duke of Abyss.

"What’s in it for me if I exert my efforts?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course, you won’t be shortchanged."

The Duke of Abyss smiled and pulled out a badge from his pocket.

It was a black and red metal badge engraved with a skull on one side, and on the flip side was a city.

Lines of ice crystal small script appeared beside the metal badge:

"The badge of Chupnos."

"Special token, the ultimate currency of Dream City."

"Using this badge, you may purchase anything in Dream City, and all charges will be covered by Chupnos, up to three times."

The Duke of Abyss placed the badge in Wu Xiaode’s hand, whispering:

"Indeed, there are many fine things in Chupnos’s city, some of which even we raid demons find useful."

"Take this badge and buy whatever you want, no one can refuse you, but you can only make three purchases."

"Are you satisfied with this reward?"

Wu Xiaode immediately pocketed the badge and laughed, "Satisfied."

"Good, as long as you’re satisfied. I’ll see you later," said the Duke of Abyss.

He nodded slightly at Wu Xiaode, then turned and walked towards another raid demon, clearly wanting to inquire about other information.

Wu Xiaode held his glass, standing silently in thought.

——Where could Gjestastav be right now?

To go look for her?

Or stay here and continue to gather some information?

Wu Xiaode observed his surroundings, noticing the other raid demons didn’t even give him a glance.

After a few moments, he realized something.

The information on that set of cards had been obtained by the Duke of Abyss.

The Duke of Abyss would surely set out to seize the deck.

If any other raid demon attempted to gather this information, it would be equivalent to becoming a competitor of the Duke of Abyss.

——Who would dare?

Wu Xiaode laughed to himself, shaking his head, he casually set down his glass on the table and turned to walk out.

So be it.

Everything that could be said had been said, and many secrets must not be disclosed.

Thus, this place held no more value for him.

Off to find Gjestastav!

He stepped out of the secret room, leaped from the building, and flew down to the city street with the wind.

Just as he landed.

A group of women immediately swarmed around him, but upon closer inspection, they were all stunning beauties from various races.

The women bowed and said:

"Raid demon, sir, I am the dream manifestation specifically created for you by Chupnos. Whom do you need? Just point one of us out, or we can all stay by your side to serve you."

"I’m looking for someone," Wu Xiaode spoke up.

"Please tell us."

"A Black Dragon, named Gjestastav."

"This..."

"What’s the matter?" Wu Xiaode asked, puzzled.

All the women suddenly displayed radiant smiles and bowed, saying, "That is an unawakened dragon, exceedingly weak in strength——The Dream Master thought she merely had good fortune to carry you temporarily, but we did not expect that she actually is your female slave."

An Elf woman casually waved her hand.

Gjestastav then appeared before Wu Xiaode’s eyes.

The Black Dragon lady was lying on the ground with shackles on her hands and feet, unconscious.

"It seems you’ve already captured her——What were you planning on doing with her?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The Elf woman uttered a spell.

Gjestastav immediately woke up to find herself shackled.

The Elf woman spoke:

"To reply to your question, this dragon would have been dismembered; her Dragon Skin and Dragon Bone could be sold, and her heart, possessing the Magic Power of the Dragon Clan, would’ve been harvested by Mr. Chupnos for energy, and all her belongings would belong to Dream City,"

"That harsh?" Wu Xiaode burst into laughter.

He seem to find it extremely amusing, showing no concern for the condition of his slave.

The Elf woman performed a courteous bow, elegantly stating:

"Everything in the world comes at a price, especially beautiful dreams——"

"However, since she is your slave, we will not trouble her further, and we apologize for the earlier rudeness."
