Chapter 247: Chapter 154: Epic Level Longbow, A Massive Haul of Resources

’But... Black Arrow is only level 14 right now. It’s still a ways off from breaking through to Tier Three at level 20.’

Shen Xing mulled it over for a moment, then stored the Icy Great Bow in his backpack as well.

Then, he began to inspect the last, rather special piece of loot.

A letter.

It was one of the items dropped by the Skinners.

According to Blood Roar, he had pulled it off the corpse of the Tier Three, gray-robed man.

Shen Xing took it out and found that the letter was wrapped in a special kind of cloth.

Even though the outer layer was scorched, the inside was still completely intact.

’This cloth looks quite valuable. A letter protected by this kind of special material must be pretty important.’

He unwrapped the letter and glanced at its Attributes.

[Letter from the Elder Council]

[Quality: Unknown]

[Type: Quest Item]

[Content: Click to view]

[Note: This letter records a conspiracy between the Elder Council of the Blood Source Sect and the Hedersen Monarch. You can choose to deliver it to Videng Royal City to complete the delivery quest.

Alternatively, you can deliver it to Blood Lion City to expose the Blood Source Sect’s plan.]

(Note: Depending on your choice, you will trigger a corresponding quest branch and receive different rewards.)

...

’Hm? A secret letter between the Blood Source Sect and the Hedersen Monarch...’

Shen Xing’s brow furrowed slightly as he clicked to open the letter’s contents and read it in detail.

A moment later, he nodded in realization.

’So that’s how it is... These guys have been in league with the Hedersen Monarch for a while now. They must have made quite a few deals before this.’

’On the seventeenth of next month... the Blood Source Sect will go to Oil Flowing Valley to deliver something called Black Origin Blood to the Hedersen Monarch.’

’If I remember correctly, Oil Flowing Valley isn’t far from my territory, about thirty to forty kilometers.’

’If this letter isn’t delivered, Hedersen probably won’t send anyone to meet them. In that case, couldn’t I...’

Shen Xing’s mind started racing.

Although he didn’t know what this [Black Origin Blood] was, the fact that the Skinners valued it so highly meant it had to be an extremely precious treasure.

’If I could take this opportunity to intercept it...’

Of course, doing so was quite risky.

For one, he didn’t know how strong the experts sent by the Blood Source Sect would be, or whether he could even fight them.

Moreover, he had no idea if the Blood Source Sect had only sent a single messenger.

If someone else had already delivered the letter to Videng Royal City, the Hedersen Monarch would send people to rendezvous with the transport.

At that time, he wouldn’t just be facing the deacons of the Blood Source Sect, but possibly the forces of Videng Royal City as well.

’This matter requires careful consideration. I can’t put myself in a dangerous situation just for profit.’

’Stay steady. Safety first.’

Shen Xing silently warned himself, then temporarily stored the letter in his backpack.

Then, he switched his view out of the Land of Mist to check the time. It was already past three in the morning.

The Skinners’ attack had cost them precious sleeping time.

Fortunately, the rewards were pretty good, so the magnanimous Lord Shen Xing forgave them.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the slender, red figure standing quietly beside him. "Reina, let’s go to your room. I’ll take a look at your wound."

The Red-haired Mage’s eyes flickered for a moment before she nodded lightly. "Yes, my Lord."

Then, she naturally came up behind Shen Xing and began to silently push his wheelchair.

Soon, they arrived in front of a quiet, small wooden cabin in the Outer City District.

CREAK!

The wooden door swung open, revealing the simple furnishings inside.

Reina pushed the wheelchair to the bedside, then sat down gently on the edge of the bed.

She turned her head slightly, took the collar of her Magic Robe in her left hand, and slowly pulled it aside...
