Chapter 244: Chapter 161: Hunter’s Request (Part 2)
A Level 3 Wizard Apprentice, even after fusing bloodlines or undergoing physical modifications, only has a lifespan of slightly over two hundred years.
The staff immediately felt intrigued and hesitated for a moment before saying, “One bottle of Dawn Potion is not enough, add a gemstone worth twenty thousand Gold Coins!”
“Deal!”
Without a second thought, the Hunter agreed. Anyway, the Gold Coins wouldn’t be out of his pocket; Holy Fist, who was wealthy, would handle it.
Then he turned to Sunan, “Player, what about you?”
Sunan remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Two bottles of Dawn Potion, plus a key to the Starlight Tower.”
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, simultaneously having the same thought in their minds.
What a demanding request!
But to everyone’s surprise, the Hunter just hesitated for a moment, nodded heavily, and said:
“Alright, it’s a deal!”
“Wait!” The Remains spoke unhappily, “Why is it that with the same effort, the player’s reward is so much higher than ours?”
The others did not openly agree, but their eyes showed displeasure or confusion as they looked at Hunter and Sunan.
Only the Traveler remained calm.
The Hunter explained in a peaceful tone, “Because the player is stronger than all of you.”
The others didn’t know, but he was aware of some things Sunan had done in the underworld through Holy Fist and understood that Sunan possessed power far beyond anyone at the Woodland Lodge.
Even the Night Owl couldn’t compare to Sunan.
Seeing that the Remains still couldn’t accept his explanation, the Hunter had to look at Sunan.
Sunan shrugged, and with a thought, a Refined Gold Golem appeared beside him out of thin air.
The sudden appearance of the golem startled everyone, making them wonder where Sunan brought out such a bulky entity.
Immediately, their attention was drawn to the luster of the golem’s body.
“This is… Refined Gold!”
Having seen a Refined Gold Golem before, Rose was the first to recognize the type of golem, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
“Refined Gold Golem!”
The others were dumbfounded upon hearing it, and soon thereafter, they confirmed Rose’s words.
“It really is a Refined Gold Golem!”
“How is that possible?!”
Everyone showed expressions of disbelief.
How could the player have a Refined Gold Golem?
Did he get it from some Wizard legacy?
No, it’s impossible.
Even if a Wizard legacy had an intact Refined Gold Golem left, outsiders couldn’t possibly gain control over it.
This is not a magic item that can be used just by erasing the Spirit imprint.
Every puppet’s Soul Core has a Spirit Talisman left by its creator, unless the creator willingly erases it, outsiders cannot remove it.
Even destroying the Soul Core is useless.
The puppet’s body and Soul Core are an integral whole; destroying the Soul Core also destroys the entire puppet.
If it wasn’t obtained from Wizard legacy, then it couldn’t possibly be the player who refined it himself, right?
That’s hardly possible either.
Not to mention where the player got the blueprint, and how he acquired the massive amount of Refined Gold needed to create a Refined Gold Golem, just the puppet refining craftsmanship is enough to halt most people.
The player is indeed skilled at refining puppets, but has his puppet refining skill reached such a level?
For a moment, everyone felt a mix of uncertainty and surprise.
Even the Traveler and Hunter, who were already aware of Sunan’s strength, were shocked beyond words.
But regardless, what can be ascertained is that Sunan, possessing a Refined Gold Golem, could play a role far surpassing anyone present in dealing with the Eternal Life Association.
Even the most dissatisfied Remains was silent now.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, the Hunter said solemnly, “Let’s settle on this.”
“To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, let’s sign a Soul Contract.”
Everyone unanimously agreed, as this was a safeguard for both parties.
There’s no need to say more about the reward, however, when it comes to dealing with the Eternal Life Association, there was a disagreement among them.
Night Owl and others unanimously disagreed with Hunter’s request to annihilate the Eternal Life Association.
That was simply not realistic!
Most Level 3 Wizard Apprentices have their own ways of ensuring their survival.
Especially those people in the Eternal Life Association, who have countless enemies and are condemned by all.
They’ve lived freely until now, so only a fool would believe they don’t have any life-saving trump cards.
Driving back Level 3 Wizard Apprentices is easy, but killing them is extremely difficult unless one has overwhelming power.
After some bargaining, it was finally settled that they would deal with three members of the Eternal Life Association.
“As far as I know, the deadly hands and blood mouth of the Eternal Life Association have already died. Aside from Saulo, only Ember, Yiluo, and Stone Scorpion are left.”
“Among these four, you just have to assist me in taking down any three, and the transaction will be considered complete, for which I will provide the corresponding reward.”
As soon as the Hunter’s words fell, Night Owl promptly asked:
“Do you have a specific plan?”
The Hunter clearly already had something in mind and replied without hesitation, “The people of the Eternal Life Association are searching everywhere for signs of me. As long as I show a bit of my trail, I can lure them all over here, and we can set up an ambush in advance and catch them all at once!”
The people exchanged glances, nodding in agreement.
Although the plan was simple, it was quite practical.
“I’ll select the location and inform you all three days later.”
The Hunter turned to look at Night Owl.
“It’ll be up to you to open the Woodland Lodge once again when the time comes.”
“No problem.” Night Owl nodded in agreement.
At this point, Sunan suddenly said, “It’s hard for you alone to survive the pursuit from the Eternal Life Association, you must have other helpers, right?”
Upon hearing this, everyone realized it as well and turned their sharp gazes toward the Hunter.
The Hunter sighed, saying, “Alright, I wasn’t planning to hide it anyway, I do indeed have help.”
“Who?” Rose asked curiously.
“Holy Fist.”
“So it’s them.” The staff realized with a smile.
“Don’t keep us in the dark.” Black Forest hurriedly asked, “What kind of people are Holy Fist?”
The staff chuckled lightly and explained, “Holy Fist isn’t a single person; it’s a secret organization formed by Legendary Knights, established about three hundred years ago. Its members come mainly from various countries in the southeastern region of the Starlight Continent, reportedly having double-digit Tier Two and Tier Three Legendary Knights, and their power is not to be underestimated.”
“That was in the past.” The Hunter’s tone was bitter, “Recently, in battles against the Eternal Life Association, Holy Fist has lost over twenty Legendary Knights, including their leader Clarence, who died at Ember’s hands. He was the only Tier Three Legendary Knight of Holy Fist.”
The staff shook his head slightly and remained silent.
An organization formed by Legendary Knights seems gigantic to ordinary people.
But compared to the Eternal Life Association, which consists entirely of Level 3 Wizard Apprentices, it’s somewhat unimpressive.
The defeat of Holy Fist was utterly predictable.
Rather, the fact that they dared to fight against the Eternal Life Association is somewhat surprising.
It’s only because the Starlight Tower is an irresistible temptation, not just for Wizard Apprentices but also for Legendary Knights.
“When the operation begins, Holy Fist members will come to assist.”
“However, Holy Fist has suffered significant losses lately, with only a few surviving Legendary Knights left. It’s best not to set your hopes too high.”
The Hunter sighed and said.
The staff shrugged and said, “It’s fine; when facing formidable enemies like the Eternal Life Association, any extra assistance is welcome.”
This statement drew unanimous agreement from the others.
After all, the enemy is the infamous Eternal Life Association. Even for those Level 3 Wizard Apprentices present, there’s an underlying sense of uncertainty.
At this time, even having a few extra Tier One Legendary Knights is helpful, at worst, they can serve as cannon fodder in critical moments.
Among them, only Sunan maintained a calm, undisturbed demeanor from beginning to end.
If it were a few months ago, he would still harbor some concerns about this action.
But now, the Secret Puppet stored in the magic cube gives him powerful confidence and self-assurance.
Never mind the people at Woodland Lodge, even facing the Eternal Life Association alone, Sunan is somewhat confident in pulling it off.
“That’s it for now.”
“Once the ambush location is selected, I will inform everyone as soon as possible.”
The Hunter looked around solemnly and sincerely said:
“I entrust this to each of you!”
