Two hours later, under the soft candlelight, an appetizing aroma filled the air.
On the huge dining table, rare delicacies were presented like flowing water, disappearing into Zim's bottomless mouth. Broken bones and sparse oil were thrown under the table.
Under the grate, the beasts kept in the dark fought with all their might, gnawing on each other's flesh and the oil that fell from the air, providing a refreshing show for the dining host.
Or, after arousing his appetite, it became the next fragrant meal.
And just after dinner, Zim enjoyed dessert and the service of the harem. Finally, he took some time out of his busy schedule and looked at the Minotaur warrior standing at the bottom of the palace steps.
"What is Hades doing?"
"He's living in seclusion. Other than the daily routine of patrolling, he doesn't do anything," the Minotaur warrior replied.
"But today is an exception. He talked to a foreign kobold for a while in the market, but we didn't hear what they said."
"Why don't we capture that Kobold and interrogate him?"
"Before I was ready to catch him, the kobold was caught by the people in the market," the Minotaur warrior replied.
"Okay, and then?"
Zim waited for a long time, but there was no reply.
The Minotaur warrior looked at him for a long time with a look that said, "Don't you know?" "Then there's no then."
"… Those guys."
Zim slapped his forehead. "They've been too outrageous recently. They eat everything. My god's teachings have to be carefully chosen. Forget it, I'll talk to them next time."
"What about Hades?"
"Hmph, worrisome guy." Zim snorted coldly. "Don't let your guard down. In two days, find an excuse and drive him out."
.
.
At the same time, in a sealed room, Hades pretended not to notice the peeping through the wall and calmly maintained his tools.
However, looking at the time, that pig Zimu should be starting to get impatient, right?
As an outsider, he was still too conspicuous in Thunder White Plains.
Moreover, the identity of the Abyss Jester was suspicious enough.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Huai Shi would be kicked out even if he didn't come.
For the sake of the plan, he had no choice but to refrain from doing anything unnecessary for the time being.
Thinking up to this point, he had already made a decision. Before reinforcements arrived, he would let that fat pig be arrogant for a while longer. It was time for this transit station, which occupied one-tenth of the armaments on the frontline, to change its owner.
After the maintenance of everything was completed, Hades continued to monitor Huai Shi's position as usual. When he found that the aggro pointer had not moved, his heart sank.
Huai Shi should really be in the White Thunder Plains.
However, there were only two possibilities for him not to move for so long. The first possibility was that he was indeed trapped and unable to leave. The second possibility was that he had other motives …
Hades closed his eyes, calculating the possibilities of various accidents and estimating the time it would take for reinforcements to arrive.
Two days, at most two days, the other depths would be able to form a blockade, and the power he summoned would be enough to seal off the entire White Thunder Plains, and then wash this place from the inside out.
However, for some reason, there was a lingering uneasiness in his heart.
Inexplicably, he thought of the smirking kobold during the day. Hades's heart skipped a beat. He threw out a few cards from his pocket, casually flipped them over, and divined the other party's whereabouts.
The cards that were flipped over were messy and didn't show any signs, but some of them vaguely fell towards the deeper depths of hell …
Hades frowned slightly. Could it be that this was the envoy of some ruler?
Then what was its purpose?
He focused and carefully analyzed, but before he could figure out the other party's origin, the spoiler had already seen the result.
Dead.
Even before Hades's curse took effect, the other party seemed to have died in an accident, and there was a hint of greed involved, a symbol of devouring.
Was he eaten?
Hades was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't help but shake his head, laughing at his own oversensitive nerves.
This was hell, and it was never strange to have secrets, and people with heavy responsibilities were even more common. Unfortunately, all kinds of sudden and tragic deaths, plundering, and ravaging were the main theme.
He no longer paid attention to these things and once again threw himself into the preparations.
He had to ensure that there were no mistakes in taking down this place.
.
.
At the same time, in the dungeon, the kobold, who had just finished a hot bath and was draped in a rat skin towel, suddenly sneezed.
"Which little bastard is investigating my origin now?"
Huai Shi shook his head and muttered to himself, "Didn't I just take your ship? Why are they so fixated on it?"
At this time, the only person who could divine Huai Shi and trigger the Book of Destiny's feedback was probably Hades.
He wasn't worried at all that he would expose himself.
With the existence of the Book of Destiny, unless one's authority was as high as the Astronomical Society, no matter which god wanted to perform divination, they would probably be led into a ditch by all sorts of tangled and chaotic phenomena.
The more powerful ones would be able to tell that Huai Shi wasn't simple, but at most, they would only be able to see the character that Huai Shi had written in the Book of Destiny and believe that he really was a dog-faced kobold.
"After all, what kind of bad intentions could a little dog have?"
Huai Shi muttered to himself as he shook his head. He sat cross-legged on a chair and glanced at the frozen Frostbone sitting across from him.
"Name?"
Within the Origin Substance seal, the shriveled corpse covered in frost and fog twitched violently. It struggled and opened its mouth to scream, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't reach the outside world.
"Tsk, forget it. Feed the Prince some soup."
Huai Shi waved his hand. A minotaur picked up a spoon and scooped up a ladle full of sticky, pitch-black bath water. Then, the toolmen on the left and right used pliers to pry open the corpse's mouth and force the thick, healthy soup into its mouth.
After drinking a bowl of thick, healthy soup, the corpse indeed looked much healthier. Even its face had become ruddy.
It was very nutritious.
However, its eyes gradually lost focus, and the cold fog around its body began to stir violently. It was dyed with a layer of pink, and the corpse twisted and turned on the chair like a maggot.
Accompanied by a series of "Ba ba ba ba" sounds, it had completely lost its consciousness.
Huai Shi knocked on the birdcage next to him. A Crow hopped out from within and spread its wings. It suddenly transformed into Origin Substance and dove into Frostbone's eye socket, disappearing without a trace.
Very quickly, a metallic light appeared in Frostbone's eyes.
"Caw, holy...... Caw, holy!"
Frostbone let out a series of excited cries as it began to spasm violently. Its arms flapped out of habit. "Thank you, brother, I, I'm fine now!"
"If you're fine, then next!"
Huai Shi calmly waved his hand, then looked at another Rat Man who had been brought up and was beginning to spasm in fear. He smiled amiably.
"Name?"
.
About two hours later, everyone was fully healed.
Even though they didn't know why they had recovered so quickly this time...
In any case, after a few months, Huai Shi's Magical Cooking Dishes had once again received unanimous praise from the customers. The "Stewing Oneself in an Iron Pot" had received unanimous praise from the crows, and they even wanted to order two bowls.
Only Raymond, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but hesitated.
He could finally tell that Huai Shi wasn't human.
Good lord, he had poisoned, cursed, and even used people to plant flowers. Not only had he brainwashed them with bath water, but he had also used a large group of corpses to resurrect their souls!
This entire process was even more sinister than the Underworld. There wasn't even a trace of Yang energy.
How fortunate was the Celestial genealogy to have such a treasure?
In any case, after a few short hours, apart from a few teammates who could finally get out of the car, there wasn't a single normal person left.
Without anyone noticing, he had turned the prison and the guard station outside into his own under the City Lord's nose.
If he had a few more days, he would probably be able to replace everyone from top to bottom in this hell.
Not only that, through the parasitism and control of the Crow's Origin Form, Huai Shi had also dug out many good things from the brains of these hospitable locals.
For example, there was a detailed map spread out on the table in front of them.
Most of the surrounding plantations and scattered fortresses, as well as the rough demarcation of most of the areas in Ironflame City, the location of the barracks, the situation of the internal and external defenses, the location of the important characters, and most importantly... the location of all the warehouses in the volcano factory.
Everything had been marked out on the map.
When he saw Huai Shi's eyes darting around, Raymond felt his hair stand on end.
"I say, Huai Shi, cough cough... Captain Huai Shi, since we've finished our disguise, we're almost done with our meal."
He did his best to soften his voice as he asked in a gentle voice, "Then let's go?"
"Why should we go?"
Huai Shi raised his head and looked over with a puzzled expression. "We're already here, and it's New Year's. Besides, I'm the Disaster Sword, yet that bastard Hades is chasing me around like a rabbit. Do I not care about my reputation?"
It was true that they could run now.
But there was no need for that.
There was no point.
Even if they ran away, as long as He Di was still alive, the aggro indicator would still be in their hands, and they could only be chased around. This was hell, who knew when they would be chased into that guy's trap.
Passively running away was just a slow suicide.
If they wanted to solve this problem, they had to find an opportunity to give this guy a hard time.
Even if they couldn't kill him, they had to make him suffer the consequences!
Not only did Raymond's reminder not have any effect, but it also attracted Huai Shi's attention.
That gaze, which was a mixture of surprise, astonishment, and realization, made the back of his head feel cold. He habitually moved back a little. "What? I'm warning you, although I'm a truck driver, I've always been clean and honest. I won't accept any unspoken rules! "
"I say, Old Ray." Huai Shi stroked his chin and said pleasantly.
"Raymond, thank you."
The Tauren raised his hand and corrected him solemnly. "Even if the abbreviation is also Ray, please don't add the word 'Old'.
I think that although we're colleagues in a workplace, we're not that close in private. We need to keep a little distance. "
"Hey, look at you, are you treating me like an outsider? We're friends, we've been through life and death together. "
Huai Shi leaned over and put his arm around his neck with great enthusiasm. He asked in a seemingly casual manner, "I remember that you're about to advance, right?"
He paused for a moment and smiled meaningfully.
"How's the preparation going?"
