Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 139 Reward!

In the face of real art, the performances of other song and dance groups were completely outclassed, and even seemed childish and ridiculous!
This is the battle song and dance that can represent the undead tribe!

The earl suppressed the excitement in his heart and muttered:
"This outstanding creation was inspired by——"

Daisy pushed Shen Ye directly.

She did not answer this question herself, but left it to Shen Ye!
——Because I am sincerely convinced!
Shen Ye was also prepared. Just as he was about to talk nonsense, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.

wrong.

Why should I tell the count a story?

You can obviously use this opportunity to do something!
"My Lord Earl, our inspiration comes from large-scale summoning sacrificial activities." Shen Ye said.

"Sacrificial activities?" The count was a little curious.

"Yes, it's an ancient sacrificial activity..." Shen Ye continued according to the Big Skeleton's explanation at the time: "It boosts morale before the war starts, and then the army sets out to flatten the entire world."

The count thought carefully and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

This creative inspiration represents loyalty to the undead, as well as the ambition and desire of being an undead.

"Very good idea, very good work," the count clapped his hands softly, then changed the subject: "But it is still quite difficult for us undead to flatten the entire world, hahahaha."

He laughed, as if in a good mood.

"Thank you for your compliment." Daisy, together with Shen Ye and Lily, greeted the Earl again.

The count waved his hand.

The empty legal realm disappears.

Several people returned to the study of Phantom Manor again.

The count walked behind the desk, took a book from the bookshelf, and opened it:

"This morning, the human race has signed a peace agreement with us."

"I will lead the Undead Mission to visit the human race to celebrate the birthday of the King of the Holy Violet Empire and present gifts and an opera performance."

——The count has made his choice.

He planned to choose the Rose of Darkness Song and Dance Troupe to go to the Holy Violet Empire with him.

Ms. Daisy and Lily were both overjoyed.

Shen Ye was thoughtful.

The orc threat is imminent.

The situation in this world has become increasingly dangerous!

At this time, the undead sent the powerful count to the capital of the human empire to celebrate his birthday——

In fact, it was probably to discuss countermeasures with humans and elves.

After all, even Prince Norton has a court mage from the elves around him.

As long as the Undead Earl goes to the imperial capital of the human race, he will definitely be able to meet with the senior officials of the human race and the elves.

That's about it.

But you can't say this openly, lest you irritate the orcs, or the negotiation between the three tribes fails and shakes the morale of the army.

The count recited a spell, put his hand deep into the book, and took out a few things.

"Daisy, this string of ghost jewels is for you. It symbolizes my friendship with the Dark Night Rose Dance Troupe, and will also make you more dazzling and moving in your performance."

"Thank you, My Lord." Daisy bowed slightly and took the crystal clear jewelry necklace with both hands.

"Lily, your performance is amazing. This 'Dancer's Mask' is for you. It will make you more realistic in various roles."

"Thank you, Lord Earl." Lily also took the pale and flawless mask.

"Baxter, you have a great talent for composition. In time, you will surely become a famous singer - but I heard that you were blown to pieces on the battlefield. That won't do. I will give you an emblem."

"Thank you, Lord Earl." Shen Ye took the blood-red badge with both hands.

The count waved casually.

Two waiters suddenly walked out of the void beside him.

"Miss Lily, please follow me. I will take you to the banquet hall to rest." said a waiter.

Lily followed the waiter and left the study.

"Mr. Baxter, please come this way. I will take you to complete the protective measures." said another waiter.

Ms. Daisy stayed and seemed to have something to discuss with the earl.

Shen Ye followed the waiter through the corridor and down the stairs.

Soon they were clear of the ground.

The stairs continue down.

Shen Ye felt a little guilty for no reason, but quickly suppressed his emotions.

What a panic!

Even if Kevin files a complaint, he still has a door and can leave at any time.

Calm.

He followed the waiter for another seven or eight minutes, and saw nothing around him except the stairs extending downwards and the blazing torches inserted into the wall.

At this time, a lookout tower protruding forward appeared in front.

Beyond the lookout, there was only darkness like an abyss.

From time to time, various painful moans and slight crying could be heard continuously.

——God knows what is being held here!
When Shen Ye stood on the stage, the waiter slowly said:

"Mr. Baxter, please sign this teleportation contract."

A contract was placed on the table in front of Shen Ye.

There is something special about this contract.

Six streams of blood met at the center of the contract like water, then passed through the entire contract, falling down the table and flowing down into the dark abyss below the stage.

This contract seems to be some kind of living body, connected to this place through blood flow, and will never be separated.

"Let me explain this in advance."

"This contract is the soldier summoning array of the 'Magic Shadow Manor'. Only by obtaining the Earl's badge can you sign it and use its summoning power.

"Mr. Baxter, after the contract is completed, you can activate the summoning mark on the emblem and call a guard from the Magic Shadow Manor to protect your safety!"

“You can use it once a day!”

Shen Ye was slightly startled.

At this time, lines of small, dim characters appeared in the void, supporting what the other party said:

"The escort contract is being signed." "Use the Earl's badge to complete the contract and gain the protection of the Magic Shadow Manor."

What are you waiting for?
——I may not need the count’s protection, but I need the count’s approval!

That way, many things will be easier to do.

Shen Ye pressed the badge on the contract.

The blood flowed around Shen Ye, as if recognizing him and remembering him.

The contract is being signed!

the other side.

study.

Ms. Daisy has left.

The Earl sat alone on the sofa, shaking his red wine glass, still recalling the feeling of ordering billions of undead to fight just now.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a knock on the door.

"Kevin, the leader of the thieves in Evernight City, has something to report."

"Let him in."

The door opens.

The short living corpse walked into the room, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said:

"I have something to report."

"explain."

"I followed Baxter from the Dark Night Rose Dance Troupe and discovered that he had purchased prohibited materials."

"What materials did he buy?"

"Material for large-scale summoning sacrifices—this is expressly prohibited."

The earl frowned slightly.

I thought it was something.

Large-scale summoning of sacrifices...

Come to think of it, Baxter said that the work was inspired by large-scale summoning rituals.

What a wonderful piece of work.

Having said that, I once hesitated whether to list the materials used in large-scale summoning sacrificial activities as contraband.

in fact--

At this moment when the orcs are rising, at this moment when the battle is being defeated on the front line, at this moment when the morale of the undead clan is low——

Events like this are needed to inspire.

At least I was encouraged.

Besides, this kind of sacrificial activity has nothing to do with that incident at all.

I was too careful.

"Pass on my orders."

said the Count.

The void behind him moved, and two staff members appeared.

"From now on, don't ban large-scale sacrificial activities. We need it now," said the count.

"Yes!" the aide responded and hurried away to do the job.

Only then did the count remember that there was someone in front of him.

"Kevin," the Earl crossed his legs and took a sip of red wine, "Have you ever received money from Baxter?"

"Yes, I have received it." Kevin didn't dare to hide it.

"Oh? When did it happen?"

"Once to search his house, and once to buy the materials—both of which he gave voluntarily, my Lord."

The earl listened quietly, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

Given voluntarily?

What kind of virtues do these hyenas have? Doesn’t he, a dog owner, know?
"Okay, this singer has a bright future ahead of her. Stop staring at her. Got it?"

said the earl.

Kevin murmured for a while, but after all, he did not dare to mention the disappearance of his men again.

——Baxter is now the popular man in front of the earl.

The count has already made a judgment on the whole matter. If he doesn't have any strong evidence, it's better not to anger him.

otherwise……

What if the disappearance of the two men really has nothing to do with Baxter——

The count knows how to kill.

——I can’t afford to risk my life to go head-to-head with a singer.

"Yes."

Kevin buried his head deeply and responded in a sincere tone.

"Okay, go and get to work. By the end of the year, I want to see 10 million bone coins in your account. If you can't do it, you will go to the canal to work as a laborer. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I will take my leave."

Kevin stood up, arched his back, and slowly left the study.

The count was lost in thought.

I have always been generous to those who please me.

otherwise--

Who else is willing to do things for themselves?
That singer's talent is very high, and she may need his help in the future to learn her skills.

And a hyena is just a hyena, and you can always get a new one.

So……

The count waved behind him.

"Go, raise Baxter's guard level. At least... it will make him feel better..."

"My subordinate understands."
