Boulder Hanen had been revived. Or rather, he had been 'alive' ever since the first generation of the Hanen Society had discovered him. He was just incomplete.
All this time, the members of the Hanen Society had only been looking for suitable limbs to replace Boulder Hanen's, allowing him to regain his normal mobility or even reach a higher level. After all, the strength of a stitched corpse largely depended on the integrity and strength of its limbs. If they didn't mind the appearance, sewing the limbs of magical beasts would also be useful.
This process had actually been completed a long time ago, at least before Pandas joined the Hanen Society.
However, Boulder Hanen had never appeared and directly directed the Hanen Society's actions. Most of the actions were decided by the Elders of the Hanen Society. At least in Pandas's memory, he had only met Boulder Hanen once, and the only response he had received was a single word, "Mm."
Pandas could see that the other party's attitude was neither warm nor cold. He had thought that it was because his rank wasn't high enough and that he wasn't close enough to that person. But after a while, he realized that wasn't the case. No matter who it was, that big shot always had such a cold attitude towards them.
However, the people in charge of the Hanen Society wouldn't care about such a small matter. They only needed a flag and a final life-saving measure. Boulder Hanen didn't care, which was good for them. If they encountered an enemy they couldn't deal with, as long as they lured them to Boulder Hanen's location, that person wouldn't hesitate to take care of them. But he definitely wouldn't stray too far from his own coffin.
The two sides had used this strange relationship to coexist until now.
As for the Hanen Society's current base, it was indeed Carefree Palace in Storm Bay.
The original base had been expanded by Boulder Hanen's tomb. Although it had been operated for a long time and was quite large, it couldn't be said to be comfortable. So when they obtained Carefree Palace as their new base, they sealed the original location and moved all the Hanen Society members to Carefree Palace as a backup.
After all, they didn't join this organization for their dreams or ambitions. They weren't afraid of suffering. How could they not enjoy when they had the conditions? Now was the time for the Hanen Society to reap the fruits of their labor.
The most important Boulder Hanen and his coffin were also moved to Carefree Palace's underground palace, continuing to be their final life-saving measure. Some of the new members could also see the 'Face of Heaven's' location.
Apart from the person that Fen was concerned about, Pandas of the Hanen Society was very straightforward. he answered whatever Lin asked him, directly revealing everything he knew about the Hanen Society. After all, one of them had a lie detector method that he couldn't understand and couldn't guard against, while the other could directly extract his soul to interrogate him. It didn't seem like there was a way to keep a secret even if he was stubborn, so he might as well be straightforward.
And all of this was for the sake of release.
Of course, he couldn't let him go. Lin casually threw a Detect Evil on the other party. The red light that represented evil was so dense that it was glowing. Therefore, there was only one choice on how to deal with Pandas.
There was still room, there was room Hanen's If it was in the past, most of the people who offended the former Demon King would be killed, and their souls would be taken out, made into inextinguishable flames, and placed in oil lamps to be admired. But for Pandas, who had already told her everything, Fen was not interested. So in the end, it was up to Lin to end Pandas' evil life.
The most innocent ones this time were the horses. But 'an old horse knows the way' was the same in a maze. So no matter how reluctant Hallumi was, she couldn't plead for mercy for the horses.
When everyone returned to Uzov's tavern, it was almost noon. The girls prepared lunch, but Lin went into the room with the Carefree Palace map, thinking about his next move.
Now that they knew the target's location, the easiest thing for Fen to do was to walk in, kill, and walk out.
However, doing so had an unpredictable side effect. If the decapitation tactic was successful, would the remaining underlings scatter like birds and beasts? Would they establish their own strongholds in the future and live their own lives? Or would they continue to target him like maggots attached to bones, causing trouble for him from time to time?
He had just dealt with the problem of having a bounty on his head because he was jealous of the browser's benefits. Now, was he going to have to watch as he gained a few more followers? Although the previous situation didn't cause any substantial harm, it was still very troublesome.
A perfectly fine road had been turned into a scene of an ambush by the group of people who were looking for trouble with him. If there was some treasure at the end, it would be fine, but there wasn't. Moreover, real life wasn't like the movies, where there was always a critical moment. Putting aside the fact that all of them had been messed up, Hallumi had also been injured and had been quiet for a long time … Hmm, this should be considered a good thing?
In any case, Marco Lin didn't want to live that kind of life anymore. In the past, he didn't have enough strength, so he could only admit defeat and hide. But now, he had the strength to fight. So this time, it was a choice of first bitterness and then sweetness, or sweetness and then bitterness.
After making up his mind, Lin raised his head and looked around, looking for the Lich. When he turned his head, he found that the Lich was staring at him. That gaze … made his hair stand on end.
"Have you come back to your senses?" Fen asked.
"I'm just thinking about something. I'm thinking about how to solve this problem. "
"What's so troublesome about it? Go in, kill, come out, finish it, and continue on your journey. "
… He really didn't want to continue discussing this kind of thing with the Lich. So, Lin didn't answer the Lich's question and asked another question. "Do you have any way to restrict people's entry and exit? Simply put, no one is allowed to leave within a certain range. "
Fen's mind was quite flexible. When Lin started, she thought of the reason and asked, "You want to catch all those people in one fell swoop? For the sake of that ridiculous justice? "
"Justice? It's fine to say that to outsiders, but to you, I'll tell you what I think. There's a saying in my hometown, if you cut the grass without removing the roots, it will grow again in the spring. Besides, your opponents aren't good people. You still haven't gotten back at them for tricking you. According to what you're doing, you won't just deal with that old enemy of yours this time. If you meet any stupid people along the way, you'll deal with them as well. Since you don't plan to solve this problem peacefully and you're about to make a move, you might as well get rid of all the trouble once and for all. I'm not that scared, but I'm just annoyed. "
"So, you're planning to use a sealing barrier to prevent people from entering and exiting. Then, you'll kill them all."
"Yes, that's right. Do you have any magic like that? "
"Yes, but I don't think it'll be useful. At least, I don't want to use it. "Fen refused without hesitation.
Of course, Lin didn't understand and asked, "Why?"
"It's a fixed type of defensive magic array. Its main purpose is to prevent enemies from entering easily. Usually, it's placed in important places like palaces. Simply put, it's not a magic array that can be set up with a snap of your fingers. Besides, even if you want to spend time, the other party won't let you set up a magic array in their territory. As for the materials, there's no need to mention it, right? "
"Yes, if that's the case, then the first plan won't work."
"Oh, you have a second plan? Let's hear it." Fen asked curiously.
"Since we can't seal them off by ourselves, then we'll look for outside help." Lin gave a simple conclusion and turned to Kaya, who was monitoring the situation in Carefree Palace. "Girl, go ask Mr. Gantia to come over."
Uzov, who was taking care of matters in the tavern, quickly followed Kaya's invitation and entered the temporary war situation room. As soon as he entered, he bowed and greeted, "Lady Fen, Lady Tripwood. May I know if there's anything you need me to do? "
Fen didn't turn her head. Instead, she focused on the structural diagram of Carefree Palace. Using the Arcane Eye to investigate from the outside, she couldn't see the underground palace. Although she had obtained the location of the underground palace entrance from Pandas, she still needed to figure out where it was on the map.
Lich looked like it had nothing to do with him. Lin, who had invited them over, obviously couldn't show the same attitude. He said politely, "Mr. Gantia, you said that if you need help, you can also find people to help. How many people can you find? How long will it take? Can you give me a rough idea? "
"Oh, I need help. In the city, I have two people I trust who can fight. As long as the reason is right, they'll help and can come at any time. If the time can be extended, I can gather a team of ten Warriors and Mages in three days. You can trust them with your back. If the time can be extended, I should have no problem gathering a few dozen people. "
"Oh, the number is still too small. Have the original local bullies in Storm Bay been absorbed by the Hanen Society? "
"If you don't mind whether they're trustworthy or not, there are at least ten people who were originally suppressed by the Hanen Society. In addition, some of their old subordinates and people who were also ostracized by the Hanen Society. It shouldn't be a problem to gather a hundred people. "
"Well, that's good. That's it. Tell those people that we want to deal with the Hanen Society. If they want to, attend the meeting in the evening and discuss the content. And you should do your best to find temporary allies. The attack is scheduled to be launched in three days. I don't want to wait too long. When the time is up, whether the people you're looking for arrive or not, I'll launch the attack. "
Uzov was stunned by this news. His eyes widened, and he gradually came back to his senses. He asked, "Weren't you worried that too many people would cause unexpected changes? Why aren't you worried now? Instead, you look like you're ready to make a big fuss. "
