Lance the necromancer was here to teach you how to use a formidable enemy properly.
When it came to Lance's formidable enemies, things were somewhat miserable for them. They could not kill Lance while alive, and after death, they still faced the risk of being summoned from Hell by Lance as Battle Partners and used up.
It was somewhat unwise to make an enemy of a Trainee Death God who had signed a contract with Hell.
Death God Solomon silently mourned Lance's formidable enemies for one second.
Lance was his partner. He and Lance were on the same side, so he had to protect Lance.
They had worked together for nearly a thousand years. If he did not protect Lance, was he supposed to protect Lance's formidable enemies instead? If Lance's formidable enemy could kill Lance, then he would be more than happy to support that enemy.
"Don't go too far. The undead in Hell can't be used up at will. Remember, if your formidable enemy dies, write 'killed in battle' in the report. When the time comes, Hell will... Forget it. Within the scope of my authority, I'll take care of the descendants of the undead who died in battle."
"I'm not as sinister as you think."
"Right, right, you're not sinister. Besides the contract renewal, there's one more thing I have to tell you, so you can prepare yourself mentally."
"What is it?"
"Hell has recently been expanding its business into the Demon Race's territory. You know how some of the creatures over there are. They're powerful and ruthless, so the casualty rate among Trainee Death Gods is rather high. Yesterday, I was chatting with a few Death God friends, and they said several Hell Death Gods had already been wiped out by lord-level evil spirits. The higher-ups may transfer some capable Death Gods there. My strength is pretty good, and the Trainee Death God I work with is also quite capable, so we may be transferred there. If I need your help when the time comes, you must help me."
"Once you get to the Demon Race's territory, you can develop new Trainee Death Gods. Just find a few powerful demons and turn them into Trainee Death Gods. You're asking me to help you, but this isn't simply crossing a region—it's crossing an entire continent. Going to the Demon Realm would cost me an astronomical amount in transmission fees alone."
Each Hell Death God was responsible for a different region. In the human world, Trainee Death Gods who had signed contracts with Hell Death Gods could occasionally cross regions to fight or complete bounty missions.
The Demon Race was different.
The Demon Race lived on another continent. Its creatures worshiped the Demon God and believed that the place souls went after death was the Demon God Paradise.
The Demon God Paradise and Hell were the same in nature.
He did not know exactly what happened to the creatures of the Demon Race after death, but one thing was certain: the Demon God Paradise truly existed.
It was normal for Hell to expand its business into the Demon Realm. He did not want to go to the Demon Race for the time being. The young dragon was still a complete weakling, and there was nothing interesting about going to the Demon Realm.
The transmission fees were indeed an astronomical sum for him as well.
"I'll give you all the bounty missions I've collected over the years and let you earn more money."
"Stop talking and send me the bounty missions. I'll look at them later. After I complete them, I'll contact you."
"You really don't respect your superior at all."
After voicing his dissatisfaction, Death God Solomon ended the projection call. First, he would let Lance avenge those two short-lived Trainee Death Gods who had signed contracts with him.
Given Lance's excellence, perhaps after Lance died, those two short-lived Trainee Death Gods would become Lance's capable assistants.
Aside from dying quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, they were quite outstanding in every other respect.
Death God Solomon sent the bounty missions to Lance through the Death God Scythe.
The Evil Dragon had become a Trainee Death God again? Did that mean she had another chance to inherit the Evil Dragon's position as a Trainee Death God? Inherit what Trainee Death God position? It would make more sense for the Evil Dragon to inherit her own throne.
Only people could be worn to death. Dragons could not.
Right, right, the Hell Death God had just said there was a bounty mission for the Evil Dragon. Did that mean the Evil Dragon might have to go to the human world soon?!!!
It was coming, it was coming, it was coming!!!
The opportunity had arrived!
As long as the Evil Dragon took her to the human world, she would have a chance to escape.
Lucia felt her heart beating a little fast. The Evil Dragon was quite nice, and she did not dislike her.
But she was not really a young dragon. Staying by the Evil Dragon's side all the time made her uneasy.
It would be better to leave as soon as possible.
She could not get excited. She had to remain calm and not let the Evil Dragon notice anything unusual.
"L-Lance, do you have to go to the human world to complete the Hell Death God's bounty mission?"
"No. I can subcontract it."
"???"
What did subcontracting it mean? Would he hand Hell's bounty mission over to someone else? Have someone else complete Hell's bounty mission in his place?
Wasn't it just a bounty mission worth thirty-five gold coins? It was even a Death-Class bounty mission.
Would anyone really risk their life to accept such a high-risk, low-reward bounty mission? Thirty-five gold coins were not even worth as much as one pair of her shoes, one dress, or one cloak. Lucia did not believe anyone would be willing to accept a bounty mission with such low pay.
"The reward for Hell's bounty mission is thirty-five gold coins. For so few coins, would anyone be willing to accept a bounty mission that might cost them their life?"
"The reward isn't a problem. I'll look at the bounty mission issued by the Hell Death God first."
The young dragon had shallow experience and had no idea about the wondrous uses of Hell Gold in the human world, nor did she know how popular Hell Gold was in the human world's supernatural circles.
Death God Solomon's bounty mission offered thirty-five gold coins. Lance only needed to pay five, and the Extraordinary Persons of the human world would fight to accept it.
In the human world, Hell Gold had another name: Psychic Gold Coin.
One Psychic Gold Coin could grant a person one chance to speak with the dead.
When faced with mortal danger, putting a Psychic Gold Coin in one's mouth could help one evade the pursuit of Magical Beasts and formidable enemies.
Besides those two uses, it had many other wondrous applications. Thus, Hell Gold was extremely popular in the supernatural world.
Lance was not worried in the slightest that he would be unable to subcontract Hell's bounty mission.
Black Mist billowed from the Death God Scythe. In the air, the Black Mist gradually turned blood-red.
A line of blood-colored text appeared in the air.
Hell Bounty Mission, Serial Number: 388895610.
Difficulty: Death-Class.
Content: A Lich who has continuously devoured the soul fires of the undead has appeared near Lion City in Kerry Province, Nod Kingdom.
Kill him.
Mission Completion Reward: Besides a substantial payment, you may also receive a mysterious reward from the Hell Death God.
The blood-red text made the young dragon feel gloomy and terrified.
Fortunately, it was broad daylight, and an Evil Dragon was beside her. If she had been alone, she might have had nightmares after going to sleep at night.
Kill the Lich.
A Lich was not a wizard.
A Lich was an undead creature. They could no longer be described as human.
Liches were even more terrifying than wizards. To become true members of the Undead Race, they would do anything.
The Farolyn Empire had a law: upon discovering a Lich, kill it on the spot and burn it to ashes, or purify it with Holy Water and holy light.
"Lance, it's an Undead Lich—a powerful being in the human world. Would anyone dare accept this bounty mission?"
"You're underestimating the impoverished Extraordinary Persons of the human world. Their motto is: 'As long as you pay, we'll smash even a dragon to pieces for you.'
"The especially impoverished Extraordinary Persons have an even crazier motto: 'As long as you pay enough, we'll smash even a god to pieces for you.'"
"???"
