Chapter 848: Dark Shadow Fist Sect and the Demon Maze
Hood came rather quickly.
“G-Grandpa…”
The young man stuttered as he looked at Hood, who had suddenly appeared. He could not even straighten his tongue.
“What happened?”
Seeing this scene.
Hood seemed to have guessed something, but he was quite calm, and his tone was calm.
“Grandfather, he wants to take advantage of me…”
The young man shouted in a hurry.
Hood was stunned.
The young man hurriedly corrected himself,
“He wants to take advantage of our family!”
Hood couldn’t be bothered to look at him again. He just smiled at Matthew.
“If you like this child, how about I give it to you?”
The young man widened his eyes in disbelief.
He still wanted to say something.
However, Hood glanced at him coldly, and the latter kept quiet out of fear.
Matthew smiled and stood up.
“It’s not like that.
” But I did encounter some confusing things in Jiliu City. If it’s convenient, do you mind a soundproof barrier?”
Hood nimbly tapped his cane.
A pure white light quickly spread out in all directions.
Other than Matthew and Hood, everyone else was pushed outside the white light.
Matthew pointed at Sif.
“She’s my friend.”
Hood looked at her in surprise and said,” Okay,” before pulling Sif in.
Matthew then briefly recounted his encounter in Jiliu City.
“Speaking of which, we only wanted to have some fun, but the value of that gem is quite considerable. It would be a lie to say that I didn’t have any intentions.
” However, what happened later made me wonder. How much do you know about the gem merchant Kratos?”
Matthew asked.
Hood frowned after hearing that. He said awkwardly,
” Ever since I started to study the life-prolonging technique in seclusion, the Mage Tower and the family business have been handed over to my subordinates to manage.
” I have some impression of that Kratos. He’s just a smart businessman. With the help of that grandson of mine, he became a big and powerful person in Jiliu City. He should have some magic gems, but he definitely can’t take out a treasure like the Earth’s Crown.”
Matthew nodded.
“If that’s the case, Kratos must be related to the Silver Frost Brotherhood.
” But I’m very curious about their purpose. Obviously, someone deliberately used the Earth’s Crown to attract me to participate in the Five Legendary Trials, and my participation in this challenge might draw you out.
” I’m not sure why he did this, but the root of all this must be Kratos. There’s only a small chance that he made a mistake in the setting up the gemstone, but there’s a bigger chance that there’s something wrong with him!”
Hood made a prompt decision. He walked out of the soundproof barrier and instructed,
“If you still want to keep your position, call Kratos over!”
The young man was no fool.
He knew that he had probably run into a tough opponent this time. Hearing this, he immediately rushed out as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
The rest of the servants followed.
The VIP room suddenly became quiet.
Hood walked into the soundproof barrier again. He rubbed his hands and looked a little embarrassed.
“I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!
“I didn’t manage my subordinates well…”
Matthew waved his hand to stop Hood from blaming himself.
A registered mage like Hood owned an entire city, and his family might even be more prosperous than the castellan family.
It was easy to cause problems when there were too many people.
Hood wasn’t a god, so he couldn’t guarantee that every member of the family was clean.
In this aspect, the necromancers were in the lead.
After all, it was difficult for the undead under him to take the initiative to stir up trouble.
” How about this? I’ll ask them to find Kratos and ask him about the origin of the gem.
” In the meantime, shall I show you around my Mage Tower?
” As for the Legendary Pentathlon Challenge, if you’re still interested, I’ll ask them to arrange another one for you.”
Matthew smiled and shook his head.
With his strength, participating in this kind of challenge was very easy.
In the water lock-picking stage, when Fatty showed Sif the parchment, he used Soul Projection and turned into a ghost that passed through the glass tank. He copied the answer openly and unlocked the lock.
Walking with Beasts and Night of the Undead were even simpler.
Matthew’s Dragon Slayer’s prestige was enough to intimidate ordinary beasts, and temporarily instigating a few zombies and ghouls was a piece of cake for a professional.
No matter what the challenges were, he would most likely be able to capture it easily.
A challenge that had completely lost its challenge was naturally boring.
He was only interested in Earth’s Crown and Kratos himself.
” There’s no need to visit the Mage Tower. I’ll ask Kratos about the whole thing later, and then I’ll go to other places in the city.”
he said to Hood without batting an eyelid.
Hood glanced at Sif and revealed a look of realization.
He immediately lifted his hand to remove the soundproof barrier and threw a few voice transmission spells.
“Where is Kratos?
“You haven’t found him yet?!”
There was a hint of anger in Hood’s voice.
A moment later.
A guard and the fat man ran over from the corridor in a panic.
The fatty said nervously,
” Master Hood, Sir Kratos said that he wanted to go to VIP Room No. 3 to talk to another group of contestants who passed three rounds in a row, but the staff in VIP Room No. 3 said that they had never seen Sir Kratos before.”
