Chapter 112: Where is My Money?
To everyone’s delight and satisfaction, Chi Yu was dead.
Xi Dai Zi needn’t worry any longer and could proceed with the fishman clan’s planned attack of Two Eyes Island.
The imperial secret spy Shadow also needn’t worry about the Blood Light Punishment Institution sending a cultivator over for an inquiry.
Hun Tong could finally let out a breath. Without the Blood Light Punishment Institution, his transition of Two Eyes Island now had abundant time and space to be conducted.
The port blockade ceased.
When the inhabitants of Two Eyes Island heard the necromancer was executed, one after the other, all of them cheered for Feudal Lord Hun Tong’s abilities.
This included merchants, pirates, and more, all were overjoyed.
The only fly in the ointment was that the 50,000 gold coins were missing.
The necromancer Chi Yu was dead and had exploded into bony dregs, leaving not even a corpse behind.
When the battle began, the arrangement in his hiding place triggered a large explosion.
Hun Tong didn’t give up hope, and he surmised, “The money shouldn’t have been on the necromancer himself, if it was, there would be a trace or two of those 50,000 gold coins. Therefore, this money was likely hidden elsewhere.”
Since the necromancer could find one hidden chamber, then it was reasonable to think that he knew of other ones too.
The imperial secret spy also agreed, “We can continue investigating and follow the necromancer’s trajectory of action, perhaps there will be a valuable trail that will allow us to find where the money is hidden.”
He didn’t want to give it up, it was a lot of money!
Meanwhile, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ Cang Xu and Zi Di finally ended their discussion.
They had issued their final decision and chose 30 items.
These things were almost all related to medicine, not finished products, but instead precious alchemy materials. The only comparatively unusual thing was a intact spurting smoke dragon corpse.
After this, Cang Xu came to Feudal Lord Hun Tong again and reached a deal.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps would pay 3000 gold coins to purchase 30 items ahead of time.
“At present, we have a lot of capital.” Zi Di thought to herself.
The 50,000 gold coins Hun Tong and the imperial spy were persistently searching for was in their hands. This purchase didn’t even use a tenth of the gold coins.
“The auction remains the focus.”
“We must compete to buy many things.”
Zi Di had already taken aim at the auction, ready to launch a heavy attack.
As for her potion sales, the sales volume had steadily deteriorated, and she no longer paid it any heed.
Of course, this was the primary way the group had gained capital. None of them thought they’d capture such a find!
“These arms smugglers have money.” Hun Tong’s impression of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps improved somewhat.
Remember, these items were 30% higher than the market price.
Hun Tong didn’t make a loss, he had earned quite the profit,
The banker usually never loses.
What he didn’t know was that the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was using the money he had been desperately searching for.
Xi Dai Zi wanted to leave.
He was standing at the exit of a secret path.
This secret path was located on the bottom of the old island and only opened up for a dozen minutes in the wee hours.
Saltwater intruded into the secret path, and it was pitch dark.
But to Xi Dai Zi, the environment wasn’t terrible to him. He was a deep sea fishman, he could breathe underwater from childhood and his big fish eyes could glean the barest light to see in the darkness.
But he was still injured and couldn’t change his appearance.
Before leaving, he took out a simple communication device and poured magic power into it.
It was a single-use type.
After the imperial secret spy obtained the communication request, he immediately responded.
This communication device was one that he had his subordinate give Xi Dai Zi.
Xi Dai Zi contacted the imperial secret spy of his own volition, “I’m about to leave the island.”
The imperial secret spy stared blankly, “No need to worry, I just got the latest information on soul crystals being sold on the black market.”
He wanted to strive to gain more trust and learn the exact time Xi Dai Zi planned to attack.
But Xi Dai Zi had already decided, “Although there was an accident, that wretched necromancer has gotten his deserved end.”
The imperial secret spy laughed, “That was the result of our joint collaboration. We’ve always worked well together, no?”
Xi Dai Zi couldn’t refute that.
The fishman was silent for a bit, then said, “It is precisely because of that that my group sought your cooperation. The next step is planning, I hope there won’t be any mishaps.”
“The imperial secret spy replied, “I’ll do my best, but I can’t make guarantees my fishman friend. Be aware, the world does not revolve around you. Two Eyes Island’s defenses are still very strong, not only is there Hun Tong’s faction, but there are also the five great merchant alliances. If you want to attack the island, you’d better come with sufficient strength.”
“And money too of course.”
“As for us, making money is the most important thing there is.”
When money was mentioned, Xi Dai Zi laughed, “Was the 50,000 gold coins returned?”
Cough.
That sentence was like a formless dagger piercing the imperial secret spy’s heart.
The imperial secret spy felt his heart aching again.
Hun Tong still had his foundation and industry, while he had neither.
Due to the death of the thin person and the others, not only had he lost manpower, but he also had to pay compensation and other expenses.
The imperial secret spy was looking forward to this money more than Hun Tong, he needed it to recruit a new staff!
He couldn’t tell Xi Dai Zi the truth.
He still had to win the trust of the fishman shaman.
The imperial secret spy could only laugh and resolutely answer, “Of course! The money is bac kin my hands.”
“That’s good.” When he heard that, Xi Dai Zi showed a profound smile.
He crushed the communication device, then with a running start, dove into the water.
He swam the rest of the way through the dark and lightless seawater.
After swimming 2 nautical miles alone, a fishman knight riding a 6 meter long ribbonfish came to his aid.
There was a line of seats on the ribbonfish’s back.
The fishman knight sat at the front and with both hands, grabbed the “reins”.
Upon careful inspection, the “reins” were the ribbonfish’s fish whiskers.
A long lance lay next to the fishman’s foot.
Xi Dai Zi sat in the seat behind him.
The long whiskered ribbonfish roamed through the sea, its speed growing as the two fishmen gradually distanced themselves from Two Eyes Island.
After roughly 3 hours, they arrived at a coral reef on the seabed.
The coral reef on the onset looked nothing special, but inside it, it had been remodeled into a simple and crude camp.
This was one of the Blue Green Coral Fishman Clan’s vanguard camps.
The fishman shaman Xi Dai Zi entered the camp to rest.
The person in charge of the camp was an iron level fishman warrior.
“How is the situation? Are you wounded your Lordship?” The fishman warrior expressed their concerns.
“Something unexpected happened.” Xi Dai Zi nodded, then detailed what had happened.
The fishman warrior took note of it, he needed to report this to the clan.
“So that’s what happened!”
“A necromancer? It’s good he’s dead. It’s also convenient that he didn’t die by ours too.”
The fishman didn’t have a good opinion of necromancers.
In fact, all races and lifeforms loathed necromancers with disgust and hostility.
“How are you doing with things here?” Xi Dai Zi was concerned about the fishman warrior’s tasks.
The fishman warrior lifted the bone flute in his hand, “I can now play ‘Fish Hometown’ proficiently, every day I can attract a gigantic school of fish together.”
“The Holy City is worthy of being the Holy City, everything from it is good.”
“I now know why Two Eyes Island was locked down. They were searching for a necromancer, so we seized the opportunity to gather many schools of fish without any disturbances!”
“But these schools of fish cannot stay in one place forever, our control of them is breaking.”
Xi Dai Zi nodded, “Then don’t control them, release them and let them form a beast tide!”
“We need them to attack Two Eyes Island, deplete their defenses and supplies ahead of time, and probe their defensive methods.”
“Understood, Lord Shaman!” The fishman warrior immediately accepted the order.
After Xi Dai Zi rested for a short bit, he departed.
Before leaving, the fishman warrior hesitantly asked, “My Lord, is it really feasible to have a human power serve as our insider? After all, they are humans.”
“Don’t worry.” Xi Dai Zi revealed abundant confidence, “As long as they take the coins, it will work.”
“That money is not so easily taken.”
“They are the Devil Gold Coins!”
Upon hearing that secret, the fishman warrior’s eyes suddenly went round with pleasant surprise and cleared misgivings.
