[Dear Wheel:]
Is winter in the Great Labyrinth City cold? The battle lines around Fir City are already extremely tense, and the current problem troubling everyone is...
Okay, I can't make this up anymore. Writing in this tone is just so cringeworthy. Anyway, I need your help with something.
Our Archbishop Antiya Lisi of Fir City's current residence is the old house Bennett lived in when he was human. We need you to get the blueprints of the entire residence out of this old man. Just a rough outline will do, to help us infiltrate later. If the plan succeeds, you will receive a commission.
I love your " Do Some Farm Work "]
Despite the physical discomfort, I finished reading the message. [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], currently in the Great Labyrinth City, couldn't help but feel grateful for the resilience of my body in this World of Disorder.
If it were me in real life, I would have vomited the moment I saw the first line of this letter.
During the latter half of the previous Bloody Night, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] and [ Do Some Farm Work ] forged a deep friendship and cooperated very well in developing Vampire Count Bennett and Grand Knight Motley.
After reading the letter, he quickly understood the sender's meaning, and so he leaped out of his bed in the luxury hotel:
I'm going out for a bit.
The [ Shit Appraisal Master ] and the [ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] on the side both turned their heads to look over, and said in a strange tone:
Where are you going?
"Find Gray."
"What's the rush? We're leaving the day after tomorrow, aren't we?"
"It's something else. Fir City needs some information about Bennett."
"Okay, then you go ahead. Lion and I are going to get prosthetic implants this afternoon."
The tone of those words sounded more like someone getting their hair done than someone about to be hospitalized for surgery.
"OK, everyone, let's split up and get started."
After bidding farewell to his two friends, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] soon arrived at the repair shop opened by Uncle Gray.
As the legendary fortress commander who has gained considerable renown in the past month, Uncle Gray's business has improved considerably recently.
No matter how busy they are, this repair shop always reserves a dedicated area for the Antasia.
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] quickly found Gray, who was helping his master, and Gray was instructing Bennett to quiet down the Blood Corpse in the power core of another small fortress.
Although they don't belong to the same lineage, Bennett, this cheap "uncle," can still control those Blood Corpse to some extent, provided there are no direct high-ranking Blood Corpse nearby. Of course, this also requires more effort.
But Gray was clearly the kind of person who would use anyone who wasn't dead. Even though Bennett was exhausted and his face was pale ( Blood Corpse are naturally pale), he showed no sign of stopping. After giving an order, he would skillfully place his hand on the lever behind his wheelchair.
Upon seeing the familiar Soul Returner arrive, Gray stepped forward to greet him. Hearing the familiar greeting, his wife Nora also peeked out from a pile of parts nearby.
Is something the matter?
Gray continued what he was doing while asking the question:
"We're leaving the day after tomorrow, and I need to help my uncle prepare some spare parts in advance. He's getting old and prone to..."
Who's chirping on my back?
The old man's hoarse voice came from afar, Gray shrugged without fear:
"His hearing is still quite good; I wonder if it can be donated to someone in need after he dies."
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] was speechless, unsure whether this was a common style of sharp-tongued banter in the Graycast Corridor or if the Gray family's style was simply unique.
He looked at the wheelchair not far away and said:
"I received a message from my colleagues; they need to borrow Bennett for a bit."
How do I use it?
Gray did not refuse the request for the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], but was curious about the method of borrowing it.
After all, Bennett's control over the Blood Corpse was limited. If he could influence the Blood Corpse near the Second Holy See from here, Bennett could stand up from his wheelchair, kick Antos off the Grand Duke's throne, and sit on it himself.
"They're asking for some information about Fir City."
"I see."
Gray glanced at the small mobile fortress in the distance and found that the Blood Corpse had already obediently returned to their posts.
"Okay, use it freely, just remember to be careful."
With permission, the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] took Bennett to a distance, where he openly stated his needs.
The old man in the wheelchair, who had long since resigned himself to death, nodded and said in the hoarse voice of Blood Corpse:
"I can tell you, untie one of my hands, and I'll draw it for you."
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] showed a suspicious expression:
"What if you attack me?"
Bennett's face turned very ugly:
"Then how can I explain to you the ingenuity behind the design of my luxurious mansion without any proof?"
Hearing the other party so openly boast about his old house and not deny his intention to attack, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] unabashedly reached out and grabbed the lever.
"Etc."
Unsurprisingly, he heard Bennett pleading for mercy.
"Don't use electricity. Just tell me how to do it, and I'll do it the way you say it."
"Real?"
"Real."
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had been this well-behaved earlier?"
[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] reached out and rubbed Bennett's sparse hair, but to the few onlookers, it was a bully's act of "I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it."
Soon after borrowing a Blood Corpse from a passerby, Bennett exerted all his strength to finally control the Blood Corpse and complete the rough design of the mansion.
This scene shocked even [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], who was amazed that Bennett could make the blood corpse complete such complex movements with his exquisite Psionic Energy output while only controlling one Blood Corpse.
Even a marquis like Oliver, who is already dead, might not be able to do such a meticulous operation, but such a powerful person would probably disdain to do such a thing.
Holding the rough and rudimentary map, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] extracted some more details from Bennett, quickly photographed the revised map, cut it out, and sent it to [ Do Some Farm Work ] in the distance via the players' Root Network.
When players enter [ Fir City Operation ], their Root Network will be temporarily blocked.
However, this does not mean that messages sent by other players will also fail.
Once they are eliminated by unknown NPCs in Fir City, or voluntarily log off, all the backlogged information will break through the blockade and be sent to them immediately.
In order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, [ Do Some Farm Work ] obviously didn't want to wait even a second longer.
He remained offline the entire time until the design blueprints for the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] were sent to him. After carefully reviewing them, he quickly shared them with the other Soul Returner were on the mission with him.
