Chapter 620: Chapter 360 Yun Ni Returns!

Thump.

A wooden box was placed on the bar counter.

The Necromancer James chuckled and said, “Dear Mr. Norton, I believe you should take a good look at this gift.”

Norton pressed his hand against the wooden box, sensed briefly, and nodded,

“Indeed, it’s a fine item.”

...

“Then, I’d like to use it to exchange for some information—you seem to have some regarding Immortal Country,” James said.

Norton looked around.

The bar was empty except for Yudelia standing behind the counter, mixing a cocktail.

Fei Lun had bought the place.

The sign reading “Closed” was always hung at the door; ordinary people wouldn’t come in.

“We’ll have to wait a bit longer.”

Norton spoke in a lowered voice.

“How much longer?” James frowned.

“A few hours, at least. I must receive the order before I can sell information.”

“Ha, a few hours is no problem—then I’ll be off, and come back for you later.”

James was reassured and turned to leave the bar.

“Guest, you’ve forgotten your box.”

Norton called out from behind.

Without turning his head, James replied,

“It’s just a small token of appreciation, take it—though please beware of those from the Actual Refinement Layer; one of their important figures has died, and they’re going mad everywhere—it might involve you.”

The door of the bar closed.

He was gone.

Norton pressed his hand against the box, flipped it open with a gentle motion, and stored it within the Ring.

“What’s inside?” Yudelia asked.

“A Crown,” said Norton.

The two exchanged glances.

“It seems they don’t know the true depth of the Royal Family,” Yudelia said.

“These Descenders think we’re easy to pick on, but the entire Nightmare World has never been completely wiped out… They wouldn’t understand,” Norton said.

“Yes, are you prepared?”

“Don’t rush; we first need to restore our nation… and get all the other Holy Artifacts into our hands.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty—should we tell Peiqi about this?”

“I’ll tell him when I’m ready.”

Bang.

The door of the hotel was pushed open.

A tall and beautiful woman walked in.

She was so striking that she captured everyone’s attention.

“I have something to say to you.”

The woman said.

She displayed a Gold Medal in her hand.

Norton’s expression changed instantly.

Yudelia was also surprised and whispered,

“The Earth Gold Seal… Are you an Envoy of the Earth Mother?”

“I am Karula, I have business with you both,” Karula said.

At this moment,

The door of the bar was pushed open again.

Everyone turned their heads.

A young girl wearing a sun hat and bearing a sword had arrived.

“It’s you—Peiqi’s friend, come on, wait here for a bit.”

Norton said to the girl.

It was this girl who had previously carried him along with Peiqi to escape.

Peiqi had said she was a trustworthy ally.

“Where’s Peiqi? I couldn’t find him,” the girl said.

“You might have just missed him; he was at the opera house earlier—but he’ll probably come back later,” Norton said.

“Alright.” Xiao Mengyu walked over.

Yudelia smiled at her and poured her a glass of spring water.

“Envoy of the Earth Mother, you came personally to Eternal Night City, and found me, what is your command?” Norton turned back to Karula.

Karula said, “I’ve heard that there have been many changes in the world; I am specially entrusted by the Earth Mother to seek the truth.”

“I suppose I could talk to you about it,” Norton said.

—The Earth Mother is a Divine Spirit, the god supporting the entire world.

Any Race should maintain basic respect for her Envoy.

“Thank you very much,” Karula said.

She sat down next to Xiao Mengyu, took a casual glance at the girl, and then politely withdrew her gaze.

At this time, Xiao Mengyu had just taken off her sun hat, placed her sword on the bar, nodded to Yudelia in greeting, and accepted the glass of water from her.

Karula then saw the young girl clearly.

“May I start now?” Norton asked.

There was no reply.

Karula turned her head again, and even her body turned around, as she stared intently at Xiao Mengyu, observing her from head to toe.

Everyone was puzzled by her behavior.

“Do I know you?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“—You’re Peiqi’s friend?” Karula did not answer but asked back.

“Yes,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Then you can be trusted… I might as well speak directly to you.”

Karula’s expression was extremely serious, yet there was a soft smile:

“On you is a swordsmanship, you’ve practiced it, so the ‘Resonance’ attribute in you has already broken through the limit with the earth; you’re one of us, in fact, you’re another Earth Mother.”

“—Come with me, I’ll take you to the deep veins of the earth, where your practice of swordsmanship will be twice as effective, and you’ll gain all kinds of extraordinary opportunities.”

Xiao Mengyu was stunned.

Norton and Yudelia were equally moved.

“Hurry up and agree, this is an extraordinary opportunity.”

Yudelia patted Xiao Mengyu’s arm frantically with her hand.

“But why me? We’ve never met before, I don’t even know your name.”

Xiao Mengyu said incredulously.

Karula leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “You have a destiny with the earth.”

“Why?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“You kill, the earth buries. Perfect match,” Karula said.

“Hey, there are too many killers; would they all be a perfect match with the earth?” Norton interjected.

Karula glanced at him and chuckled,

“Regarding killing, no one’s swordsmanship can compare with hers.”

Xiao Mengyu, however, shook her head, “I don’t like killing.”

Karula said without hesitation,

“No one likes killing, but if you can cut down a planet with one sword, then the whole planet is at peace; if you can pierce through the universe with one sword, then the universe is harmonious everywhere.”
