Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 486: I’m Here to Help

Chapter 486: Chapter 486: I’m Here to Help

Jinling City, a level two Main City.

Although it’s big, Lu Ran has never been here before.

In fact.

Lu Ran has never left Black Fire City since he was a child.

Even now, he rarely goes to other main cities, and even if he does, it’s just passing by.

This is the first time he’s come to Jinling City.

Suffice it to say, though it’s far from the Imperial Capital, this main city is indeed huge.

“This is it, right?” Lu Ran said, flying above, looking at Jinling City below.

“Yes, it’s right here, the exact location is in the west of the city,” said Thor.

“Alright, let’s go take a look,” Lu Ran flew straight over.

No other way around it.

It’s not entirely because flying is faster.

But because this is Longxia, not abroad.

In Longxia, Lu Ran’s face is a gold standard, and wherever he goes, the impact is too great.

Lu Ran really dislikes dealing with those kinds of occasions.

So flying over is more reliable.

At the same time, in a residence on the west side of the city.

The senior members of the Jialan Guild were all here.

Sitting at the head seat was a middle-aged man.

Sitting below were all high-ranking guild members.

“The materials are still being collected, but the progress is a bit slow.”

“Actually, if we want to speed up, it’s not impossible.”

“At this rate, it will take at least a week to collect all the materials.”

“A week’s time, we can afford to wait.”

…

But just after saying this.

The middle-aged man at the head seat said, “I can’t wait! Speed up!”

This man was Liao Wenshan, the guild leader of the Jialan Guild!

“Leader, don’t rush, it’s just a few days. We can take our time. If we speed up, we need to collect too many materials, which might arouse suspicion from the Four Major Guilds. At that time, something unexpected might happen,” someone reminded beside him.

“What could happen? The task was triggered by me, it can’t be changed, the summoning of the God must be done by me, and by then, the God will also be under my control. Even if the Four Major Guilds know, what then?” Liao Wenshan raised his eyebrows and said.

But honestly.

He was still very cautious and sly at heart.

If there were no ulterior motives, why not just tell the Four Major Guilds and have the government support the material collection from behind?

But speaking of which.

Liao Wenshan’s tone softened and said, “Three days, prepare the materials within three days if possible and don’t arouse suspicion from the Four Major Guilds. By then, once the God is summoned, I won’t need to worry about the Four Major Guilds.”

In short.

Now the concern is that once discovered by the Four Major Guilds, they might urgently call for a stop and prevent him from continuing the summoning of the God.

This concern is indeed not unwarranted.

Historically, sometimes such things happen.

The higher-ups feel that the power you are about to control will gradually get out of hand and might interrupt you to prevent you from continuing.

Although the chances are slim at the moment.

But Liao Wenshan doesn’t want to take risks, and having his own crafty thoughts indeed makes him want to escape from the rules.

So he’s even more guilty and anxious.

“Got it, three days is about right,” someone beside nodded in agreement.

Then looked at the others, ready to instruct specific tasks.

But at this moment.

Knock knock knock~

An urgent knock on the door sounded.

Liao Wenshan hurriedly made a gesture for silence and then let someone in.

At the door, the captain of the guards was standing outside.

“What are you doing? Have you forgotten what I said? Don’t interrupt during meetings this time, don’t come near, do you want to die?” Liao Wenshan shouted angrily.

The captain of the guard looked embarrassed.

He said, “No, it’s just… couldn’t stop it, it’s National Hero Lu who came.”

Who?

National Hero Lu?

Liao Wenshan was taken aback.

The next second, behind the captain of the guards, Lu Ran walked out.

Seeing Lu Ran, everyone present immediately became tense, like cats whose tails had been stepped on, their expressions odd.

Liao Wenshan’s face also changed.

He hurriedly stood up and said, “Ah, National Hero Lu, why are you here?”

Strange, although the Jialan Guild ranks just below the Four Major Guilds, they have never had any interactions with Lu Ran.

Why did Lu Ran come at this time?

Could it be… their plan has been leaked?

Lu Ran chuckled.

He looked at these people, and from their strange expressions, he knew that they were all aware of the God summoning task.

But up till now, the news hadn’t spread.

The higher-ups also had no idea.

Clearly, this bunch planned to summon on their own.

Their intentions…

Lu Ran didn’t want to guess, nor was he bothered to do so.

His purpose was to ensure the God appeared, regardless of who summoned it.

“There’s something I need to discuss with you,” Lu Ran said.

The staff prepared a seat, but Lu Ran didn’t sit.

He still stood in the hall.

Looking at Liao Wenshan.

“I’m Liao Wenshan, the guild leader of the Jialan Guild. What brings you here, National Hero Lu, please feel free to say,” Liao Wenshan said with a forced smile.

Seemingly polite.

But the look he gave Lu Ran was extremely cautious and wary.

This made Lu Ran even more certain of his speculation.

So he indirectly asked, “Don’t you know why I’m here?”

If it’s spoken, it’s fine, but if kept in the heart, they’re surely plotting secretly.

As expected!

Liao Wenshan’s expression slightly changed, but he gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t understand, although the Jialan Guild has a significant influence, we’ve always operated within Jinling City and rarely ventured out, nor have we provoked anything. What brings you here?”

Lu Ran saw that this guy was pretending to be ignorant.

He was also too lazy to keep talking.

So he directly asked, “How’s the material collection going?”

What?

Liao Wenshan’s expression changed drastically, looking at Lu Ran in surprise.

It was almost certain Lu Ran knew their plot!

But Liao Wenshan was still unwilling to give up and continued, “What materials? I’m not very clear.”

Lu Ran rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, “Do I have to make it so clear? The task, the task of summoning the God, the materials needed for the summoning ceremony, understand now? If you still don’t get it, I really have to suspect your intentions.”

Having said this much.

Liao Wenshan knew he couldn’t hide it anymore, and moreover, Lu Ran’s latter sentence startled him.

In Longxia, being accused of having ulterior motives is a serious crime!

Thus.

Liao Wenshan with a look of sudden realization said, “Oh, you were talking about this, I didn’t react just now.”

Lu Ran looked at Liao Wenshan indifferently, gesturing for him to continue.

Liao Wenshan continued, “Collecting materials requires a lot and the process is complicated. I originally intended to report it, but there just wasn’t enough time, ah, I’ve been swamped with work lately.”

“So you triggered the task?” Lu Ran asked.

“Yes, it was me. I didn’t know using the task scroll would trigger it immediately. Otherwise, I would have submitted it first,” Liao Wenshan quickly said.

Lu Ran waved his hand.

Said, “It doesn’t matter who summons, my purpose is to speed up the summoning process. What materials do you need, just tell me, I’ll give you a hand.”

Oh?

Liao Wenshan was taken aback, is there such a good thing?

The higher-ups trust him this much to let him summon the God?
