The Bone Prison spell was a spell that journeyman necromancers had to grasp. If this spell could be used skillfully, it could create conditions for dark creatures and allow them to easily defeat their enemies.
For three days in a row, Han Shuo practiced the Bone Prison spell by himself in the cemetery behind the Academy of Magic and Force. His unyielding willpower and intelligence after developing his brain allowed Han Shuo's understanding of the essence of necromancy magic to become more and more clear.
Originally, Han Shuo would need to ponder for a long time before he could understand the meaning of some difficult magical knowledge. But now, Han Shuo's mind had become incomparably clear. When Han Shuo calmed his heart and pondered over a lot of knowledge, he discovered that he could always understand the meaning in a short amount of time.
In a short three days, the usage of the Bone Prison spell had gone from continuous failures in the beginning to being cast with some unfamiliarity. He also officially started practicing the Bone Shield spell at this time. Even Han Shuo himself felt that such a rapid rate of practice was miraculous enough.
Clap clap clap!
A few claps sounded from afar as the graceful and graceful Emily appeared from the cemetery with a faint smile, slowly walking towards Han Shuo.
Stopping his magic practice, Han Shuo looked at the approaching Emily and said, "I've already met Candide. I hadn't thought that your status in the Dark Mantle would be so high. It looks like I'll have to be added to your mission."
"Hehe, my mission can't do without you communicating with the Forest Troll anyways. Although my status isn't as high as that old fox Candide's, he still needs to do me a favor for me to talk to him about such a small matter. After you join this mission, I'll give you the majority of the credit after the matter is completed. This way, your rank in the Dark Mantle might increase by another two stars. " When Emily arrived in front of Han Shuo, she reached out and naturally wrapped her arms around Han Shuo's arm, smiling in a fawning manner.
Han Shuo was about to praise Emily when he suddenly remembered Candide's words. He had an additional layer of misgivings regarding Emily's other identity. His expression was a bit ugly as he said, "After I met Candide this time, he told me a few things regarding your true identity. He told me to pay attention to my actions and avoid unnecessary trouble. It was also at that time that I found out that you were Lord Amyes' sister. However, I'm still not too clear about your other identity. Can you tell me now? "
Emily's expression changed slightly when she heard these words. She looked deeply at Han Shuo and sighed lowly, saying, "It looks like Candide thinks very highly of you and is deathly afraid that I'll lie to you. Alright, since that's the case, there are some things that I don't need to hide from you. I've actually been married for quite a few years, but he left for battle right after we got married. He never returned and died on the battlefield, leaving me a widow until now. "
Han Shuo grew silent after hearing Emily's words. He finally asked after a while, "That person's status seems to be quite high, otherwise Candide wouldn't have warned me like this."
Nodding, Emily said, "That's right, but he's already dead, so there's nothing more to say. Because I was in the Dark Mantle after his death, I had some missions on me. My conduct was a bit strange because of the missions, so my reputation in the upper echelons of the Empire wasn't too good. "
"What do you mean?" Han Shuo looked at Emily and asked faintly.
Shaking her head self-deprecatingly, Emily said with a downcast expression, "Just like when you first saw me, you thought I was a dissolute person. Because of my status as a widow, it was inevitable that I would be infected by some rumors when I came into contact with others during Dark Mantle missions."
Han Shuo had taken Emily's virginity, so others could distrust Emily, but Han Shuo had no choice but to believe her. Now that he saw her current state, he couldn't help but reach out and pull Emily into his arms, saying softly, "I don't care what others say, but I destroyed your innocence. Of course I know you're not the kind of person they say you are. Don't worry, I won't be affected by those words."
Shaking her head with some gratitude, Emily said sadly, "Candide's words have reminded me that I must recognize the truth. With your strength and progress, your future accomplishments will be immeasurable. But because of my special identity, it looks like I can only maintain this kind of underground relationship with you. Otherwise, it won't be beneficial for either of us. "
Han Shuo was very clear about the meaning behind Emily's words. Just like how Emma had reminded him to pay attention to his relationship with Fanny, social classes and some taboos were unavoidable in this world. If he challenged the rules, he would definitely suffer a heavy blow.
Holding Emily in his arms and kissing her, Han Shuo said with a grim expression, "Don't worry, I won't let you always hide in the shadows. Sooner or later, we'll be able to interact openly. The reason why I can't brazenly show it now is because I haven't climbed high enough. If there comes a day when I can decide the life and death of others at will, I think everyone will shut up. Even if they open their mouths, it'll be to express their blessings to us. "
Emily's face was wild with joy when she heard these words. She turned around and hugged Han Shuo tightly, saying emotionally, "You can do it, I believe in you!"
After a bout of entanglement, Emily's entire body was flushed red. She opened her mouth and said to Han Shuo, "Hurry up and take care of the Forest Troll's business. The McGrady Guild has already started contacting the merchants who trade with the Forest Troll. They're currently heading towards the Dark Forest, planning on purchasing that batch of siege equipment. You must have the Forest Troll hand over that batch of items to them."
Nodding his head to indicate that he understood, Han Shuo thought for a moment and said, "There's a thief that I have a good relationship with. He wants to do this mission with us, I wonder if we can add him."
"No problem. I'm currently in charge of this mission anyways, and I already have quite a few subordinates. It doesn't matter if he's one more. If he's trustworthy, I can directly summon him when I go back. This way, if you're at the Academy, I can directly contact you through him. After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to directly go to your academy with my identity. "Emily was quite straightforward and immediately agreed to Han Shuo's suggestion.
"Alright, he's called Chester. He should be responsible for guarding the northern stronghold for the time being. If you have any instructions that you can't personally show up for, then have him do it. I'll make a trip back to the Dark Forest as soon as possible. Don't worry and go about your business. "Han Shuo said to Emily.
"Mm, I'll contact you if there's anything. Don't worry, I'm confident in completing this mission very quickly." Emily left Han Shuo after saying these words.
After Emily left, Han Shuo thought for a moment and then walked towards the Boozt Merchant Guild. There were still two days until the appointed time with Phoebe, but seeing that the weather was growing colder and colder, Han Shuo was a bit worried that the dwarves wouldn't have enough rations and daily necessities. He planned on making a trip to the cemetery of death and preparing the dwarves' rations for the winter.
Now that he had a space ring with a larger capacity, he only needed to make a trip back and forth to the Forest Troll in a few days and he'd also need to prepare rations and daily necessities. The Forest Troll had many people, and the space ring likely wouldn't even be enough to load a trip back and forth with rations. Therefore, he'd better take care of the dwarves' needs first.
Han Shuo didn't see Phoebe when he arrived at the Boozt Merchant Guild with great familiarity. It was Fabian who came out to receive Han Shuo. Han Shuo learned from Fabian that Phoebe had gone out today. With Han Shuo's current relationship with Fabian, he would be able to take care of the rations even without going through Phoebe.
Because of Phoebe's power, Fabian's status had risen since he'd followed the right person. Fabian directly brought Han Shuo to the warehouse where the rations were stored. Fabian ordered the warehouse to be opened and all of the rations that Phoebe and Han Shuo had prepared were placed into the space ring in one go.
"Mm. Help me tell Miss Phoebe that I need more rations and have her prepare them for me. I'll calculate the price in one go when I come back in two days." Han Shuo smiled as he looked at Fabian.
"Heh heh, no problem. With our relationship, I can help you with such a small matter. You don't need to worry." Fabian looked at Han Shuo with a smile and promised him.
"It looks like Mr. Fabian's status in the Boozt Merchant Guild is rising higher and higher." Han Shuo was a bit surprised when he saw Fabian promise so easily and opened his mouth to speak.
"Not at all, not at all. It's all thanks to your good fortune. If it wasn't for your appearance, I don't think I would have climbed up so easily. Miss Phoebe seems to think so highly of me because I introduced you to her. I really have to thank you. Heh heh, I didn't think that my nephew, Jack, would also receive your grace. It looks like you're our benefactor. "Fabian looked at Han Shuo and said sincerely.
"You're too courteous. Send my regards to Jack and tell him that I came by, but I was a bit busy today and couldn't specifically catch up with him." Han Shuo exchanged a few words with Fabian and left the Boozt Merchant Guild with a smile.
