Bai Xiaowen looked at the Four Heavenly Kings and pondered for a moment.
He slowly said, "Vladimir."
"Yes."
"From now on, you are not allowed to use Night Embrace without my permission."
"Yes."
Vladimir did not have any objections.
Bai Xiaowen did not explain either. He valued Vladimir's Night Embrace very much. It was precisely because of this that he could not use it casually.
Bai Xiaowen then said, "This is your first mission. It includes gathering intelligence and testing your abilities as a Clan Leader. You have completed the gathering intelligence mission very well. You have even captured a key figure. However, you have not done enough to test your abilities. "
The Four Heavenly Kings lowered their heads at the same time.
Butcher Paji said, "Master, Paji will find Elite and Normal corpses as soon as possible to test the effects of the mixed suture."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "Considering that this is your first mission on your own, it is not bad to have such a completion rate. I suggested this because I hope that you can improve. This way, our forces can continue to grow. "
The Four Heavenly Kings accepted the order at the same time. The four of them were more or less under pressure from their "performance".
Their current Lord-tier strength came from Bai Xiaowen's "Death's Power". Under their command, there were one or more candidates who could replace their positions.
If they did not do well or angered Bai Xiaowen, they would be beaten down to the ground. They would be demoted from a Clan Leader to a Normal Commander.
Delifa Sieg asked, "Master, what should we do next?"
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand. A rope condensed from True Inner Force pulled the shivering rabbit demon Zhang Xi over.
"Delifa Sieg, I'll leave this demon to you … I want to meet with the Southern Song Prime Minister, Shi Miyuan. However, we cannot attract attention."
"Yes, Master." Delifa Sieg's heart trembled. This was a mission that tested one's ability.
Currently, the newly established "Changsen Sect" did not have any foundation in the imperial court. There was also no one who could recommend them. It could be said that they were all useless.
It was not easy for a commoner to meet the Prime Minister. Moreover, Shi Miyuan was a powerful Prime Minister.
If he disregarded everything and barged in, of course, he would still be able to meet her, but it would definitely cause a commotion.
What Sig Delifa was certain of was that the meeting that his master had mentioned was definitely not at the cost of a riot.
…
A day later, on the Wuyun Mountain outside Lin 'an Prefecture.
Bai Xiaowen sized up the bloated creature in front of him. He seemed to see the shadow of the butcher in the beginning.
This was an Elite-grade Stitched Monster. Its level was the same as the Butcher, Level 14.
"Now we can confirm that Butcher's Suture skill doesn't require all the corpses of elite enemies. As long as the main body is an Elite and the rest are pieced together with normal templates, you can still get an Elite Stitched Monster, "Bai Xiaowen said with a nod.
Butcher Paji chuckled, looking very pleased with himself.
"However, the [Stitch] skill takes a long time. It takes an hour to stitch up an elite monster … On the battlefield, there isn't that much time for the Butcher to stitch up a large number of monsters. This kind of opportunity can only appear after the battle, when the battlefield is cleaned up. "
Bai Xiaowen made the final decision. "After each battle, the number of Butcher's jobs will be determined according to the number of elite templates of the enemy corpses … Abaddon will use the Necrosis skill on the remaining normal template corpses to create a sea of skeletons."
A sea of skeletons created from normal template corpses would not even be at the normal level. Logically speaking, it would not be as effective as the "Corpse Revival" skill that the Soul-Attracting Banshee chanted.
However, the sea of skeletons created through the Necrosis skill could be maintained for a long time as long as they were not destroyed. There was no time limit.
In the distance, from the direction of Lin 'an City, an angel-like giant that was more than 2.5 meters tall flapped its pale wings and glided over.
Sig Delifa flew to the foot of the Wuyun Mountain. She retracted her wings and transformed into a 1.9 meters tall human female before landing on the ground.
"Master, I failed."
Sig Delifa knelt in front of Bai Xiaowen and said with her head lowered.
"Tell me the process," Bai Xiaowen said.
In the beginning, Sig Delifa had used the normal method to send a visiting card, in the name of a scholar from the same hometown, hoping to be summoned. However, the visiting card was directly thrown out by the gatekeeper.
Later, Sig Delifa changed the name of the rabbit demon, Zhang Xi, in the name of "seeking refuge with Shi Xiang". Finally, the gatekeeper was willing to pass on the message.
However, the gatekeeper only brought back one sentence from Shi Xiang:
"If you have any problems, go to the Privy Council Emissary, Li Zhixiao. Do not report beyond your authority!"
Sig Delifa was really out of options. She had seen Shi Miyuan's palanquin before, but in broad daylight, she could not reveal her true form and forcefully intercept him.
It was worth mentioning here that the scholar-officials of the Northern Song Dynasty rarely used palanquins, because palanquins required manpower. It was not in line with the scholar-officials' philosophy to treat humans as livestock and use them as transportation. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the practice of using palanquins gradually became popular.
Shi Miyuan used palanquins because his "apparent age" was close to seventy years old. He had to give the impression that he was old, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Seeing that Sig Delifa was a little uneasy, Bai Xiaowen said, "Don't be nervous. I know it's not easy for an ordinary person to meet Shi Miyuan. Since this Shi Xiang is arrogant and unwilling to open the door to receive guests … then let him come to see me. "
Sig Delifa was surprised, "How is this possible?"
Bai Xiaowen just smiled faintly and looked in the direction of Lin 'an.
In the distance, a black shadow with bat wings on his back, as thin as a bamboo pole, flew quickly and threw a person who looked like an official to the ground.
This was obviously an ordinary person, who looked to be in his fifties. There was no aura of spiritual power on him, and he had already fallen into a coma.
Bai Xiaowen said, "This person is called Zhen Dexiu, a famous scholar of Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty. He has been promoted by Shi Miyuan again and again, and now he is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. However, he is Shi Miyuan's political enemy. "
Sig Delifa asked, "Since he is a political enemy, why does Shi Miyuan still use him?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "As a powerful minister, Shi Miyuan supported the emperor without permission, and the world slandered him. For the sake of his reputation, he strongly advocated Zhu Xi's Confucianism. As a famous scholar of Confucianism, Zhen Dexiu was promoted to an official under this background. Although Zhen Dexiu is an official, he firmly opposes Shi Miyuan's abuse of power. He has resigned many times, but in the end, his official position is getting higher and higher. He is also an anomaly. "
Vladimir, who was at the side, asked, "Master, do you want to wake this person up?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "Turn back to your human form first."
Vladimir put away his fangs and bat wings, and his body changed from a thin bamboo pole of more than two meters to an ordinary person. He waved his hand and brushed Zhen Dexiu's forehead to wake him up.
