Chapter 1231: An Unexpected Accident
" The second method is to commission a third party to investigate. Once the truth is out, I'll give you an ordinary Book of Dead Souls as a reward.
" No matter which of the two methods you choose, as long as you promise me to investigate this matter, you will immediately receive the Book of Dead Souls' creation experience. This is my sincerity."
Matthew rubbed his temples, feeling troubled.
He really did not want to get involved in this mess.
However, Hex was very sincere.
As a former legendary necromancer, she clearly knew the value of the Book of Dead Souls to a necromancer.
Not to mention it being at the legendary level.
"How do I entrust a third party to conduct an investigation?"
Matthew asked.
Hex said without changing his expression,
" I'll give you a name and contact information. If he's still alive, he should have become the best Rogue in the world.
"If he's already dead, then I need you to find me another top-notch investigator.
"Unfortunately, I don't have much money on me. I might need your help to pay for the investigation.
"If you think that you need to make up for the difference, I can teach you some special knowledge about the field of undead. I can't offer you anything else."
Her tone was somewhat bleak.
However, Matthew was unmoved.
He thought for two minutes and said decisively,
"I choose the second option.
"Tell me the name and contact of the person you want to entrust."
Matthew handed over a pen and paper.
Not long after, Hex returned the pen and paper.
Matthew took it and looked at it.
His eyebrows instantly shot up.
There were a few words written on it, Sener.
Golden Scissors Tailor Shop in River Hexi District of Jiliu City.
"Your contact is Sener?!
" He's the Alliance's most wanted criminal!"
Matthew couldn't help but complain.
Hex asked,
"What's wrong?
" Do you think I, a prisoner of the Alliance, would have a better investigation channel?
" Sener is the best Rogue and the best at investigating such cases. He owed me a favour when he was young, so he won't ask you for money.
" Listen, kid, don't stare at me with those guarded eyes. I'm not that weak and useless b * tch Ashe, who only knows how to cry at home after her husband dies. I've always been straightforward, so you don't have to worry that I'll scheme against you like she did.
" It's unnecessary for me, and it's an insult to my honour."
Honour?
Necromancer's honour?
Matthew seemed to have heard something funny, but he held it in.
It was Hex's turn to be surprised.
"You actually didn't retort?"
Matthew waved his hand.
" Although I don't think necromancers have any honour to speak of, I believe that everyone is different as an individual. There are so many groups in the field of necromancy, it's not surprising that there are occasionally a few noble ones."
A satisfied smile appeared on Hex's face.
"You're right, child.
"Don't give up on yourself just because you're a necromancer.
" Necromancers are supposed to have honour. We had the chance to prove it to this world, but unfortunately..."
She paused for a moment and did not continue.
Although Matthew was curious, he knew that now was not the time to ask about Hex's old story.
He confirmed a few details with the other party.
He also successfully learned the location of the two books from Hex.
" Newbie Owl's training email? In the Cauldron House?"
Hearing this result, Matthew was even more surprised.
"Won't anyone check that mailbox over the years?"
Hex chuckled.
"Of course, no one checked.
" This is the result of my many years of observation. Ever since the Alliance began to use owls to deliver mail, the mail in the training mailbox has always been the first batch. The training route of the Southern Owl has never changed. It has always been between Rolling Stone Town and Jewel Bay.
" What's even better is that the training mailbox comes with the Alliance's spell-blocking system. No one can find it even if they want to.
" If you have a stolen item that you don't have a place to store and it's inconvenient for you to carry it with you, just swap it with a certain email in your training mailbox. Remember to mark it so that you can come back and find it when the time comes.
" The owls there look very clever, but if you give them something to eat or even a glass of wine, they'll forget everything the next day..."
Matthew was amazed.
Even though he hadn't verified it yet, he believed what Hex said was true.
" Whether it's the Seven Saint Alliance or Baiyan City, there are still many such loopholes. Sometimes, I often wonder why those idiots can't find them. It's such a simple matter!"
Hex sighed and said,
" Later on, I realized that people like me are rare. Even if I'm a Legend or even a Holy Mage, I'll still be stupid when I need to be.
"It's not their fault. The nature of this world is just a group of idiots managing another group of idiots."
These words were too sharp.
Matthew couldn't take it.
However, considering that the other party had been in prison for so long, it was normal for her to have some luck.
Matthew took out some food and milk from his luggage and placed them in the corner of the prison.
Then, he left quickly.
Clang!
The rusty iron door of the single room was tightly shut.
Matthew wanted to leave quickly.
Then, at this moment, the jailer who had brought him in earlier suddenly came over with a mischievous smile.
