"Heh heh, kill it?" The strategist chuckled contemptuously, then turned around, pulled back the curtain, and went inside.
Not long after, it emerged from behind the curtain, carrying a scroll in one hand and two boxes, one large and one small, in the other.
It placed everything on the table, its slender eyes squinting as it smiled;
"This is where the [Lord of No Form] has appeared in the past three years."
The strategist pointed to the scroll with only three fingers, then patted the two boxes next to it.
"Here is what you wanted."
The strategist didn't rush to collect the gold coins on the table. He simply spread his hands and waited for An Yi to inspect the goods.
An Yi first opened the two boxes next to her and took a look.
The small box contained a thin, round, red piece of paper, while the large box contained a worn-out book with a purple cover.
"The Abyss Chip and the Purple Barrier Book are good things."
After An Yi finished speaking, she picked up the scroll next to her to examine it.
The strategist wasn't surprised that An Yi knew what she was talking about, but he was still impressed that she could accurately name two magical items.
At that moment, something flashed through its mind.
Could it be... that the other person is a rare item hunter?
The other party immediately said "Formless" instead of "Lord of Formless", and could name any two random items they picked out.
Perhaps the other party has their eyes on the magical items in the possession of the [Lord of No Form]?
Thinking of this, the strategist pushed all the gold coins on the table back to An Yi, then picked one up and put it in the drawer under the table, grinning.
"If I get something I don't need from that thief, maybe I can offer a good price."
Those two magical items weren't worth much, and information about the [Lord of No Form] is something that's updated irregularly in every black market.
I didn't lose any money to begin with, so I'll just give it all back and consider it making a friend.
An Yi closed the scroll, then put the two items, the scroll, and the gold coins back into her purse: "Okay."
Milu, standing next to him, twitched the corner of her mouth.
You can even make a profit on a single gold coin?!
As they left the store, both of them felt a sense of relief, almost as if they hadn't expected it.
Fortunately, no fight broke out, otherwise it wouldn't have ended so easily.
"Anyi, Anyi, what is Wuxiang?!" Lycorina had wanted to ask for a long time.
An Yi and that cunning strategist barely exchanged a few words; the two seemed to be playing a game of riddles. Lycorina had a mountain of questions to ask!
"Yesterday I heard from another merchant about magical items that can conceal magic power, change a person's appearance and body shape, and also..."
"It's far more advanced than all the magical items we currently possess," Annie said.
"Oh! So, we're going to find that [Lord of the Formless] and get the [Formless] from him, right?" Lycorina understood now.
“Yes, it’s part of the preparations,” Annie said.
Over the past two weeks, all the heroes have made preparations to delve deeper into the demon realm.
It's true that the faster you delve into the demon realm, the faster you can level up, but there are some things that you absolutely cannot rush.
Being impatient for a day or two, or a week or two, and not being adequately prepared, will lead to irreparable disaster for all the brave warriors.
While it's impossible to be perfectly prepared, we must be cautious and thorough.
"But we already have so many magical items, is it still necessary to go find the [Formless]?"
"With these two items we bought, we should have enough, right?" Lycorina asked.
“That’s right.
"But believe me, an item that can freely change one's appearance and physique while also concealing magical power is definitely more useful than any item you currently have," Annie said.
Milu nodded frantically beside her, "Mmm-hmm!"
She agreed, she couldn't agree more!
Being able to change one's appearance and body shape at will means...
Can you really choose to be whoever you want?!
With this tool, you can disguise yourself as someone close to any assassination target!
Of course, one can also disguise oneself as any demon and infiltrate places that are difficult for heroes to enter.
They can disguise themselves as other demons, allowing the enemy to search for them without any precautions!
Seeing that the two agreed, Lycorina smiled and nodded: "Okay! Let's spend a little time looking for it then!"
Then, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, if the other party can freely change their appearance and body shape, how are we going to find them? We can't even sense their magic."
Should we seek help from other heroes? Find a hero who can see through the disguise.
“No need,” An Yi shook her head. “Leave it to me.”
“Okay!” Lycorina nodded.
Since An Yi has said so, then let An Yi handle it!
……
Back at the heroes' temporary base, Annie didn't sense Becky's presence along the way, thinking that she had kept her promise.
Perhaps to avoid encountering An Yi, they have always stayed outside the range that the heroes cannot reach.
The slime sword's reaction was already very weak; if the opponent moved any further, they would be out of the slime sword's range.
We can leave Becky alone; the heroes, on the other hand, need to hold a meeting.
Because tomorrow is the time for the second resupply.
This week, the heroes reaped great rewards.
Firstly, most of the heroes are now able to understand and use the demon language, which is their biggest goal within two weeks.
Following this, An'i obtained a large number of magical items capable of concealing magical power from the demon's black market, meaning the heroes could move more stealthily and hide their whereabouts.
Then, they obtained information about the rare item [Formless].
Once this magical item is obtained, one of the heroes can perfectly infiltrate the demon realm, gaining an absolute advantage in both intelligence gathering and assassination.
At the end...
During their exploration, the heroes obtained a detailed map of the demon race—a map never before possessed by humans!
Not only did the heroes purchase these items from the demon realm, but the information map about the [Lord of No Form] even marked the locations of black markets in various cities!
This is absolutely a huge breakthrough in humanity's intelligence work against the demon race!
With detailed maps, the Hero Alliance could send more heroes to safely enter the demon cities via safe routes and learn the demon language.
Previously, the demon race was seen by humans as a large, intractable fog.
The map brought back by the heroes was like a strong wind, blowing away vast swathes of fog and revealing a world unknown to humankind.
Tonight, the highly agile warriors set off through the night to bring back various intelligence reports to human territory.
……
Rescued by the Phantom Hero Zom, they arrived at the location of the [White Box], where Philia had been waiting for a long time.
"Everyone, you must be exhausted from your exploration of the demon realm. Did you encounter any dangerous situations? How are the other heroes?" Felia asked the heroes with concern.
Those returning include the [Hero of the Thorn], [Hero of the Halberd], [Hero of the Thunder], and [Hero of the Star].
"Everything is normal. There are no demons threatening us yet," Setz, the Halberd Warrior, replied with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group entered the [white box].
When they opened their eyes again, they were already in safe human territory, in the kitchen of the Hero Alliance somewhere.
To avoid drawing attention, even though the believers knew the heroes would be returning soon, they didn't rush to the kitchen in the middle of the night to welcome them.
Without lingering, the heroes emerged from the [white box] and hurried towards the meeting room in the Hero Alliance.
The door opened, and a large number of believers were already waiting there.
This is the place to welcome back the heroes.
"The heroes have returned!"
"The heroes have returned from the demon realm!!"
Shh! Shh!! Don't make a sound!
The believers are usually very orderly, but seeing the heroes return safely, they found it hard to contain their excitement.
As the only captain among the four, Seitz, the Hero of the Halberd, naturally had the right to address the believers.
When he announced that he had brought back the map of the demon race, the believers cheered and then began to copy the map at an extremely fast pace using the tools they had prepared in advance.
"In addition, we also brought back demon gold coins!"
The Sword Hero asked me to pass on a message: I hope everyone can use these demon gold coins as samples to make counterfeit coins using cheap metals.
"At the same time, I would also like to ask you all for a favor!"
This scroll shows the locations where a demon named "Lord of No Form" has been appearing over the past three years.
Hopefully, with this scroll and the existing map, everyone can roughly determine the opponent's likely next location!
“Oooooohh ...
The scene immediately erupted in excitement. The believers were full of energy, and the thought of being able to help defeat the demons ignited their passion like never before!
"Ohhhhhhhh—!" Shi Nuo also started to get excited. Although she was very tired, she still chose to go down and help.
Similarly, so is the Thunder Hero.
but……
Miluko, on the other hand, huddled in the corner, occasionally pouting and smiling in agreement.
