Adachi walked hurriedly deep in the quiet and deserted school road.

The trees on both sides of the road grew extremely lush, and the canopy-like canopy almost completely blocked the sky. Only a little light leaked in from the leaves, forming tiny mottled light spots.

After advancing dozens of steps, Edqi passed a warning sign on the left side of the school road marked "No Entry".

He walked straight ahead and finally stopped in front of a wooden house.

The environment here is quite strange. The leaves of the trees are withered, yellow and black brown, and stone slabs like tombstones are scattered around the house.

The nearby land was barren of any vegetation, and was as black as thick ink, as if it had been polluted in some way.

Adachi looked a little nervous. He clasped his hands together and tentatively called out to the wooden house.

"Mr. Gravekeeper? Are you inside?"

After a while, there was no response.

The gloomy atmosphere around makes people not want to stay for a moment.

But thinking of "Charles"'s instructions, Edqi had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout a few more times.

Unfortunately, no one responded.

Just when Edqi thought that the other party had gone out and was about to leave in distress, the door of the wooden house was opened from the inside out, and a figure wearing a tattered black robe walked out.

"what's up?"

"It's great that you are here." Adachi breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Charles is here and he wants to see you."

"See me?" The anonymous tombkeeper, who only had a code name, hesitated, "Where is he?"

"In my studio, do you want to go back with me?" Edqi lowered his head slightly and asked.

There was an intimidating aura about the tombkeeper that made people reluctant to look directly at him.

"Let's go then."

The tombkeeper did not refuse the proposal. As an employee, when summoned by his employer, he should still go and take a look out of politeness.

"Please follow me."

Adachi led the gravekeeper out of the woods.

He deliberately chose a more remote road to prevent the tombkeeper from being seen by too many people.

The two walked among the tree-lined avenues for about ten minutes before arriving at the tallest teaching building. They quickly climbed to the top floor and stopped in front of the only room with double doors.

"Lord Charles is inside."

Edqi smiled at the tombkeeper, then stepped forward and knocked on the door, loudly saying: "Sir, I brought that person."

"come in."

After hearing the response from inside, Adachi pushed the door open.

In the room, Li Shanren was leisurely staring at the black-robed figure led in by Ed Qi, with a smile on his face and calm eyes.

"What do you want from me?" As soon as he came in, the tombkeeper asked directly.

Li Shanren waved to Edqi, motioning him to go out, and then looked at the tombkeeper, "I have something to ask you for help."

"Say it," the tombkeeper said, cherishing his words like gold.

"Before that, I want to confirm first. How many gold-level transcendent beings can you deal with at most?"

The tombkeeper was silent for a while and said conservatively: "One at most."

Li Shanren smiled lightly.

He asked this question to confirm whether the person in front of him was the gold-level transcendent stationed in this slave house.

If Ed Qihui made a mistake and brought back a mess of people, his plan would be in vain.

"I will hold an important dinner in Prodavence the day after tomorrow. In order to ensure the safety of the dinner, I hope you can temporarily act as a guard for the dinner." Li Shanren tapped the table with his fingers and said.

"I should have clearly rejected you on this matter." The tone of the tombkeeper was a little unhappy, "It's not convenient for me to show up to the outside world."

"Oh? Really? But I have no impression." Li Shanren kept smiling, "The dinner that day is very important to me. If you can overcome the difficulties, I will be very grateful."

"What will you do if I don't want to go? Fire me?" The tombkeeper raised his voice slightly.

"What if I say, I will do this?" Li Shanren leaned forward slightly, this threatening posture was exactly the same as Charles's.

The tombkeeper fell silent again. It was inconvenient for him to appear in the outside world. It would be very troublesome if he was discovered by someone interested.

But if he is fired, it also means that he loses a place where he can hide and provide him with cultivation resources. This loss seems to be even greater.

Therefore, he hesitated in the face of threats.

However, since he chose to be employed by Charles from the beginning, he expected that there would be a day when he would be threatened.

After thinking for a long time, the tombkeeper looked at "Charles" behind the desk with indifferent eyes and said:

"I need extra pay. Someone will be sent to pick me up that night and a separate room will be prepared for me. I will only take action when necessary."

There are quite a lot of requirements.

Li Shanren smiled without changing his expression, "It seems that as long as certain conditions are met, we can still cooperate happily."

The tombkeeper snorted coldly, "Can I leave? If you accept my conditions, just send someone to pick me up that night."

"No, you can't leave." Li Shanren shook his head slightly.

"What do you mean?" The tombkeeper became alert, his eyes turned and fell directly on Wei Luo behind Li Shanren's chair.

"The gold-level combat force that could become a defensive force on the day of the dinner must be cut off. It is a pity that you failed to stand your ground, sir."

Li Shanren said something that the tombkeeper couldn't quite understand, but it made people aware of the danger.

Therefore, before the words could be finished, the tombkeeper quickly took out a short black wooden stick from his sleeve robe, recited a spell, and wisps of strange black energy rose up from the soles of his feet.

Wei Luo, who was originally standing behind the seat, gently picked up the steel sword on the ground with his feet, pulled it out casually, and then took a step past Li Shanren.

An ordinary sword thrust straight towards the gravekeeper's throat.

It was an unremarkable, even boring attack, but it was deadly.

After the wisps of black energy completely rose around the tomb guard, Wei Luo inserted his steel sword straight into the opponent's throat, and then slashed down, hoping to split the person in half.

However, as the black energy began to flow into the body of the tombkeeper, the body hidden under the black robe slowly disappeared, and after a while, only the black robe fell to the ground.

The gravekeeper disappeared without a trace!

When Li Shanren saw this, he couldn't sit still.

It would be troublesome if this guy ran away.

He was just about to shake the soul-summoning bell and summon the headless knight Rutier to come out for help.

At this time, Wei Luo changed the posture of holding the sword from one hand to two hands, and his light green eyes instantly turned into a pair of yellow-brown vertical pupils, like the eyes of some kind of feline.

The sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, and the next second, the steel sword struck out heavily, and the tombkeeper who had escaped into nothingness immediately appeared in front of Wei Luo's right.

The tombkeeper who lost the cover of his black robe was a man wearing linen clothes with skin as pale as paper.

Obviously, he is not an extraordinary person who is good at close combat.
