Angelica finally followed Han Shuo into Candice's room. Han Shuo chatted with Candice and Phoebe for a while, learning that Emily had gone out to take care of business.
With Candice and Phoebe here, Han Shuo didn't need to worry about Angelica's safety. He excused himself with business and returned to his room, silently practicing another high level necromancy magic — hate warrior summoning.
With Clarendon's many years of memories and Han Shuo's unyielding spirit, he finally grasped the art of summoning a hate warrior after a few hours of torment. He summoned a hate warrior wielding a metal rod from the other dimension to his front.
This hate warrior's summoning consumed quite a bit of Han Shuo's mental strength. He meditated for a while and felt his mental strength rapidly recover. He then used the transportation matrix to return to the cemetery of death.
"Evil master, shouldn't you be taking me out of here this time?" Gilbert started yelling loudly when Han Shuo appeared.
"That's right, I'm really going to take you out of here this time." Han Shuo said with a smile when he saw Gilbert walk over dejectedly.
When he heard that he could leave the cemetery of death, the dejection on Gilbert's face was instantly replaced by excitement, and a string of flattery flowed out.
"Alright, make your preparations. We'll be leaving in a bit!" Han Shuo said impatiently and quickly walked to the place where he was refining the earth elite zombie. He discovered that the earth qi was flowing more and more slowly towards the center. It looked like all the earth qi in the cemetery of death was about to be absorbed by the earth elite zombie that was about to evolve.
On the other side of the yin demon cave, the wraiths were still fighting and devouring each other, fighting over the three drops of blood essence that Han Shuo had dropped. Because his strength had already reached the true demon realm, Han Shuo's demonic yuan had already undergone a qualitative change. Coupled with the support of three drops of blood essence, he could maintain the yin demon cave for a long time. Han Shuo didn't need to inject demonic yuan every day like when he was refining the original demons.
Seeing that everything was normal in the Cemetery of Death, Han Shuo didn't continue to stay here. After giving the little lewd dragon Gilbert a few reminders, he left with him.
After returning to Elaine's hotel, Han Shuo let Gilbert stay in the room while he practiced his demonic arts for the whole night, adjusting his state to its peak.
On the afternoon of the second day, Han Shuo shut himself in his room and ordered Gilbert not to take a single step out. In a single day, Han Shuo had mastered the advanced necromancy magic, Corpse Explosion.
When it was almost evening, Gilbert couldn't bear it any longer and yelled at Han Shuo, "What the hell is this place? I've been staying here ever since I came out of that place. I'm about to get sick from the boredom."
Han Shuo, who was meditating, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and opened his deep eyes. He looked at Gilbert, "Alright, we'll leave this place immediately. When we leave, shut up for the rest of the journey and do whatever I want you to do. If you dare act on your own, I'll leave you in the Cemetery of Death forever."
"What, what are we doing tonight? Haha, honored master, don't worry, I won't be a burden to you! "Gilbert immediately responded with great excitement when he heard Han Shuo's words.
Footsteps sounded from outside at this moment, and then Emily's voice sounded from outside, "Are you inside?"
When he heard that it was Emily, Han Shuo immediately stood up and opened the door, "How is it? Has everything been settled?"
Emily's beautiful figure was revealed when the door opened. Gilbert's eyes lit up and he suddenly whistled, saying excitedly, "A beauty, a great beauty!"
"Shut up!" Han Shuo turned his head and glared fiercely at Gilbert. Gilbert didn't dare open his mouth after being scolded by Han Shuo, but his eyes darted shiftily at Emily and then looked at Han Shuo with a face full of envy.
"Who is he?" Emily didn't know of Gilbert's existence and couldn't help but ask Han Shuo in surprise when she saw him suddenly appear next to Han Shuo.
"He's one of us, there won't be any problems. He'll move with us, and his strength will be of great help to us." Han Shuo explained.
Although Gilbert was only a young dark dragon, he possessed great destructive power when he transformed into a dragon. If a dark dragon appeared at a critical juncture, it would greatly increase the safety of Han Shuo and the others.
Emily never doubted Han Shuo's words. Gilbert's appearance only gave Emily a deeper understanding of Han Shuo's mysteriousness, and she didn't question Han Shuo's methods.
"The great druid Caspian hasn't returned yet, and the little elf Angelica is very worried. This time, it's not related to the Battlefire mercenary band, so apart from Candice, no one else knows of our identities or our movements. When we first arrived, Candice temporarily entrusted Angelica to the other members of the Battlefire mercenary band to look after her. That senior swordsman named Davis seemed very happy to do it, so you don't have to worry about Angelica's safety. " It looked like Emily must've heard about the small friction between her and Davis from Phoebe and Candice, which was why she'd said this to Han Shuo.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's leave." Han Shuo thought for a moment and said.
The fact that the great druid Caspian still hadn't returned meant that something must've happened. However, Han Shuo didn't have a deep relationship with Caspian and naturally wouldn't delay the important matters that he'd been planning for so long for Caspian.
Bob Ascher, who wasn't young anymore, had lost two sons in a row in the span of a few months. This matter had greatly affected him. As the true master of Valen City, Clark's death still required a funeral according to the rules.
All sorts of luxurious carriages were parked in front of Ascher's manor. None of the people with status in Valen City dared not give face at this time. No matter how busy they were at home, they still took the time to comfort old Ascher's wounded heart.
"So we're here to attend the funeral!" Gilbert stood in a remote corner in front of the door and stood shoulder to shoulder with Han Shuo and Emily, complaining with flagging interest.
"No, we're here to cause trouble." Han Shuo chuckled lowly and said, "If you successfully complete the mission today, I'll reward you with a few things. Work hard."
When he heard that they were here to cause trouble and that there might even be a reward tonight, Gilbert's spirits immediately rose again. He laughed heartily and wanted to walk inside, but Han Shuo grabbed him back.
"Since we're here to cause trouble, of course we can't go through the front door, idiot!" Han Shuo chided Gilbert with a bad temper and nodded at Emily. The three circled around and arrived at the other side of the manor where there was no one.
"Even some of the important corners of Ascher's manor are protected by magic barriers. However, there shouldn't be any problems going through from here, but we still need to be careful. I'll go up and take a look. " Emily spoke softly and used the levitation spell that only archmages could grasp to slowly rise into the air. She landed on top of the high wall and looked around, gesturing to Han Shuo.
"Can you still fly?" Han Shuo was about to move when he glanced at Gilbert and asked.
Shaking his head, Gilbert said honestly, "Unless I return to my original state, I won't be able to fly over."
"You've become a burden from the start!" Han Shuo looked at Gilbert with disdain and reached out to grab him by the neck. He used the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens" to bring him into the air and landed next to Emily with a whoosh, landing shoulder to shoulder with Emily.
The group of three flew down from the high wall, with Han Shuo and Gilbert following behind Emily. They passed through two corridors and a rock garden before appearing in the lively area of the manor with their usual expressions.
The three of them had changed their clothes long before they'd arrived. Emily had smeared some magical medicine on her face and her entire appearance had changed greatly. Even Han Shuo almost didn't recognize her. The three of them walked into the crowd and appeared to be dressed the same as the other guests in the manor. Therefore, they didn't stand out too much and no one made trouble for them.
"Wow, so many women, so many beautiful women!" Gilbert was a bit excited as his eyes roamed about lecherously. He called out to Han Shuo beside him in a low voice.
"Watch your image, Gilbert!" Han Shuo cursed lowly as his eyes also roamed about. He suddenly saw Belinda and Johnny of the Calamity Church appear in the crowd.
Lawrence, who'd changed his appearance using magical medicine, was also mixed in with the crowd. He even waved at Han Shuo when he saw Han Shuo appear.
Phoebe and Candice had been arranged by Emily to stay in another place. If the Calamity Church made a move, they would cooperate and set fire to the surroundings, planning on throwing the manor into complete chaos.
Add to that the changes to the defenses of Lawrence's trusted aides, the manor's defenses would be at their most lax. Han Shuo and Emily would then take the opportunity to investigate Ascher's secret room.
