Shaya Gathers Information

Extra chapter! Extra chapter! I'll try my best to add more chapters for the new volume! ——————————————

Where did it come from?

Gu Xi reached out and grabbed the Skeleton, examining it from top to bottom.

"It followed me everywhere I went. It was obvious that it was there to spy on us."

Gu Xi casually crushed the Skeleton and pointed at an Undead Headman.

"Get out."

The Skeleton Head didn't even ask where he was going; he led his men outside.

Shaya knew immediately what Gu Xi wanted to do. She stepped back in front of Gu Xi.

A short while later, Shaya reappeared, carrying the same Skeleton in her hand.

"They have a very strict monitoring system. They will assign people to monitor any movement."

"Fine."

Gu Xi said frankly, "Because of some problems, it seems that the Mysterious Academy we came to has run away, and the teachers here all have their own ideas."

As long as they don't interfere with my mission, we'll ignore them.

As he spoke, Gu Xi thought about what had happened before.

The attack he encountered right after leaving the Black Robe Skeleton made Gu Xi realize that there were many problems with this space.

However, as long as it doesn't affect his ability to come here to study, even if there is war in this space, it will have nothing to do with him.

He's just here to improve himself.

They're not here to be saviors.

Besides, Gu Xi doesn't understand anything right now.

How could he know which side had good people and which side had bad people?

Which side would be more beneficial for him to join.

Without corresponding intelligence, Gu Xi would not act rashly.

Instead of wasting time, wouldn't it be better to finish the task and leave sooner?

Gu Xi spoke casually, but Shaya was not so casual. She looked at the Skeleton she was holding, and her face revealed an unspoken expression.

After saying that, Gu Xi closed his eyes again. Shaya didn't think much of it and immediately began to clear away any possible surveillance cameras around Gu Xi.

These flying surveillance drones, which look like Skeleton, actually have no combat capability whatsoever.

Their greatest ability is to hide themselves; if that fails, they leave as quickly as possible.

Their presence is quite useful to people with weak perception abilities.

However, when faced with a skilled individual like Shaya, who was a thief and assassin, their abilities were somewhat lacking.

Shaya simply walked around Gu Xi once and then deleted all the surveillance footage.

After completing all this, she took another look around to make sure there were no enemies before leaving Gu Xi's camp with her weapons.

She had promised Gu Xi to gather some intelligence, but she still hadn't done so.

Now that Gu Xi plans to rest here, Shaya naturally wants to take this opportunity to go out and gather some intelligence.

After leaving the area protected by the three City Gate, Shaya quickly jumped onto a tree.

As an excellent assassin, she not only has a strong sense of direction, but also a strong sense of perception.

When she doesn't know where to go, she can find the right direction even with her eyes closed.

Sometimes, she can even find hidden forces or Black Market with her eyes closed.

Although the most important Mysterious Academy in this space is gone, some things have remained.

Shaya knew very well what Gu Xi wanted.

Avoid trouble, avoid conflict with any faction, and seek out anything that can enhance Gu Xi's strength.

This time was no different; aside from those who were monitoring Gu Xi, Shaya had no intention of causing trouble for Gu Xi.

She easily made her way through the Princess's Forest and came to a shrub that wasn't too tall.

After standing in front of the bush for a moment, Shaya finally believed her judgment. She took a step forward and poked the bush with the Elder Wand stick in her left hand.

"Is anyone here? I'm here to do business."

No sooner had Shaya finished speaking than the bushes in front of her began to bloom rapidly, producing a large number of green berries.

Shaya smiled as soon as she saw it. She quite accurately picked out a fruit from the berries and put it directly into her mouth.

The next instant, Shaya appeared in a busy alley.

The alleyway in front of us was surrounded by a thick black fog, making it clear that the owner of this alleyway was no match for Madam Sha from the library.

In this alley, all sorts of people come and go, including some students wearing black robes and scarves of different colors, as well as some strange people with odd clothes.

Some of them were strolling around, while others were setting up stalls.

However, Shaya noticed that the goods here were always bought from one person and then sold to another.

No matter how much they hawked them, the prices of these items didn't change much.

The situation before her made Shaya feel like she was playing house.

Upon seeing Shaya enter, a Witch with a large nose came out.

Her skin was covered with blue, red, and black tattoos, some of which even overlapped.

"Guests from afar, what do you desire? As you can see, everything here is fake. My existence is merely to provide these people with a place to exist, so that they will not lose their way in time and space."

You can't take these things away, and there's no way to take them. If you buy anything from us, you'll be left here.

So, girl, leave before you're kept here. You can gather some of the berries outside.

Although it's not much, it can still replenish some of my mana.

"No need to rush, Witch Grace, I'm just here to gather information. If I find anything suitable, I'll offer a reward."

As Shaya spoke, she took out some grayish-black, stone-like objects.

The Witch's eyes lit up at the sight.

"How did you know we would want these?"

"I guessed it. When my master asked someone to come out before, he needed to use Summoning. I knew that something related to souls and the dead would be needed here. These are Soul Shard that have lost their function."

I think you should be able to use it.

The Witch glanced at Shaya and said with a hint of helplessness, "You're right, these are what I need most right now. So, what would you like to know?"

"Everything. If possible, start with this mysterious academy. If not, tell me as much as you know. I have my own set of standards for judging intelligence."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, the Witch was silent for a moment before finally raising her head. "I can only say what everyone already knows. There are some things that I would rather die than tell anyone."

"Okay, this much for now."

Shaya stretched out her hand, holding ten of these grayish-black stones.
