Chapter 168: Chapter 168, Give Them a Shout _1

Fang Hao looked at the man in front of him, unsure whether to call him smart or dumb.

This is another world where the undead don’t engage in such practices.

“Alright, with the energy you have to beg, focus on developing in the future.” Fang Hao glanced at the impossible-to-carry pile of broken beds and cabinets, “After I leave, these will be yours. Whatever you can use, take it.”

“Huh? Ah.” The man responded subconsciously, but seemed a bit confused.

What’s going on? Leaving things for him?

Are the undead so loving and kind? Even giving humans benefits and warmth.

“You can’t use these?”

“I can, I can. Thank you, Lord Skeleton, I mean, Lord Undead.” The man hurriedly expressed his thanks.

“Alright, just wait here.” Fang Hao said.

The rest of the task was simple.

Skeleton, the troll, secured the fabrics, money boxes, and some jewelry he intended to take on the dragon’s back.

The corpses of several fourth and fifth-tier bandits were piled together. A breath of death from the Bone Dragon turned the bodies into a pile of white bones.

After wrapping them all in beast skins, a large bag was also suspended behind the Bone Dragon’s military saddle.

The whole operation left the man staring dumbfounded.

After everything was prepared,

Fang Hao remounted the Bone Dragon and addressed the spectacled man below, “Don’t leak anything about the undead, otherwise I may have to visit your territory tomorrow.”

“Ah! Yes, yes, yes. My memory’s been pretty bad recently. I don’t know anything about the undead.” The man, rubbing his temples, replied.

“Bury the dead bodies here to prevent infection.”

“Yes, sir, I’ll handle it.”

“Hmm.” Fang Hao responded, lightly tapping the Bone Dragon’s neck. The enormous dragon wings unfolded, carrying all of the Bone Dragons away.

Only the man and villagers under him were left, their legs went soft and they collapsed to the ground.

The heart they were holding up finally eased.

By noon.

The Bone Dragon returned to the camp with the large group.

The battle had only taken the whole morning from start to finish.

Skeleton asked the troll to categorize the spoils of war and place them in different spots. The bones of several fourth and fifth-tier victims were thrown into the Transformation Pool.

Anjia jumped off the dragon’s back and brought the dizzy bandit leader, who had been hanging behind the Bone Dragon, down.

“What to do with him?”

Anjia didn’t understand. Everyone else was killed, so why was he brought back?

“Lock him up for now. After we have lunch, let’s make a trip to Pruell City.” Fang Hao said.

“Oh, okay.” Anjia, holding the constantly begging bandit, headed towards where the Gnolls were previously imprisoned.

There was an iron cage there, guarded by a skeleton.

Fang Hao directly went to the military area and planned to build the House of the Faceless on a vacant plot.

The name itself sounded quite mysterious — Faceless — does that mean they have no face?

He opened the Book of Lords and directly chose the House of the Faceless.

A purple light flashed and ten minutes later, the building was complete.

It really was a small stone house, and the door had an insignia that looked like two crossed hooks.

The building came with its own symbol, which did have some resemblance to the Trade Alliance.

[House of the Faceless]

[Category: Special Building]

[Ability: Information order 2.]

(Description: We are everywhere; we know everything.)

Oops, another miscalculation.

Fang Hao thought that the troop recruiting from the House of the Faceless was called Faceless. But now it seems more like an intelligence agency.

Entering the room, it was not very large, with a counter and behind it, a young blonde woman stood.

“Greetings, my lord.” The woman gave a slight bow.

“So, you’re the staff of this place then?” Fang Hao asked.

“Yes, my lord, I serve as a guide, answering some of your questions, and after this, no one else will appear here.” The woman responded with a smile, albeit a somewhat stiff one.

“Alright, then tell me what this place can do.”

The woman opened the mail chute behind the counter and took out two orders.

“My lord, it’s not as difficult as you might think. In the future, if you need any information, you just need to fill out the order with the required information and put it in the mailbox.”

This operation was similar to how the Skeleton Merchant took product orders, Fang Hao understood as soon as he listened.

“Free of charge?”

“My lord, you’re really humorous. Of course, there will be a certain fee. After the order is sent, it will be evaluated for price within ten minutes. Once you pay, the agreement is complete.” The woman maintained her smile throughout.

Fang Hao thought for a moment, then continued asking, “What are the success rate and veracity of the information? How do you evaluate them?”

Information is not a tangible thing.

The authenticity and reliability of information are very hard to grasp. If a fake piece of intelligence is sent over, it could potentially endanger lives.

“My lord, rest assured. The Faceless One has always had a very high credibility.”

“And, are there times when you can’t find out?”

“Yes, often. The higher the demand for information, the more difficult it is. If we can’t complete it, we will directly inform you of the failure. We won’t fabricate information.”

“Is the money refunded in those cases?”

“We refund up to 20%.”

Damn, what a rip-off.

Through their conversation, Fang Hao understood the use of the Faceless One’s cottage.

It’s simply an intelligence agency, similar to the Intelligence Bureau.

They charge fees based on the information you want to inquire. They then arrange personnel to investigate the information.

Being able to develop to its current scale, the credibility of the information should not be low.

“My lord, do you have any other questions?” The woman asked again.

“One final question, how often can orders be placed?”

“The new orders will be mailed in five days, and of course, the number of orders will remain at two; they are not cumulative.”

“Okay, I understand, thank you for your explanation.”

“My pleasure, sir,” the woman took out a teleportation scroll and slowly disappeared from the screen after bowing.

Fang Hao sat in his chair and didn’t immediately leave.

He had wanted to write about the Frostwind Mountains Skullcrusher Tribe in the information form, but eventually gave up.

Ever since he wiped out the 300,000-strong Skullcrusher army in one fell swoop, the threat from Skullcrusher had decreased significantly.

Bronze Bull has arranged for some spies to enter the Frostwind Mountains for information gathering.

Rather than sending in the information immediately, it would be better to wait for the information to return so he can fill the form accordingly.

This was far better than writing about something unknown.

After thinking about it, he left the information hut and it was time for lunch.

After lunch.

Fang Hao, with Anjia, carried the tortured bandit leader on his back, heading to Pruell City.

Looking at the map and seeing they were about to enter the sight range of Pruell City, Fang Hao ordered the quadruped giant lizard to stop.

Fang Hao took out a pocket made of leather from his backpack and said, “Kill him and chop off his head.”

Anjia felt stunned when she took the knight’s sword, while the bandit leader cried and begged for mercy.

Thump!

The longsword fell, and a head rolled to Fang Hao’s feet.

He picked it up by the hair and put it into the leather bag, tightening the bag opening.

“Did you take him for a ride just to bring him here and kill him?” Anjia asked curiously.

“Otherwise? The bounty by the Lord of Pruell City can be collected by exchanging the leader’s head. It’s the height of summer, carrying around a head is troublesome. It’s better to kill him here,” Fang Hao answered.

“How much money will you get as a reward?” Anjia’s attention was immediately drawn to the bounty.

“1000 gold coins, which is about 300 or so Warfire Coins,” Fang Hao said as he hung the bag with the head on the side of the giant lizard, and the two of them climbed back onto the lizard to continue their journey.

The sight of Pruell City was very good.

Seeing a giant creature rapidly approaching from afar, the lookout tower soldiers alerted their comrades, who began to assemble. The archers climbed the city walls, arrows ready to draw.

The keen-eyed soldiers spotted the two riders on the giant lizard’s back as it approached.

News of Fang Hao saving the cloth merchant Tavek’s daughter had spread in the city, and some soldiers recognized the two riders.

When the giant lizard reached the city, Fang Hao looked at the heavily armed soldiers and the guard captain.

“What’s up? Are we going to war?”

The guard captain looked up at Fang Hao sitting atop the lizard, then at the giant lizard underneath him.

“Sir, is this your mount?”

“Yeah, isn’t it cool?”

“Heh, cool, very cool,” the guard captain swallowed his saliva.

Based on its size, it seemed that the giant lizard in front of him was at least a sixth or seventh-level Warcraft.

Should this type of Warcraft be described as cool instead of dangerous?

“Sir, I’m afraid your mount needs to stay outside to avoid any unnecessary danger,” the guard captain said.

Fang Hao dismounted and lightly stroked the giant lizard’s neck scales, “Don’t worry, it’s very gentle.”

“Lie down, stand up, give them a roar.”

Roar!

The giant lizard lifted its upper jaw and let out a roar. Copious amounts of saliva sprayed from its mouth, soaking a soldier standing in front of it.

“Ugh,” the soldier leaned against the wall, retching.

“No, well, this…” Fang Hao looked a bit embarrassed, not sure what to say.

Looking at his subordinate and then back at the two riders, the captain became more determined, “Sorry, sir, but we can’t let your mount into the city. We have a specialized area for depositing mounts, and we have prepared fodder if it eats fodder.”

Of course, these were small things, and Fang Hao was not going to pick a fight over whether they would allow his mount into the city or not.

“Sure.” Fang Hao patted the giant lizard’s head, “Be good, take a nap, we’ll go back after we’re done.”

He led the giant lizard to the designated area and tied it to a wooden stake.

The giant lizard immediately closed its eyes and lay down on the straw-covered ground.

Having resolved the issue of the mount, Fang Hao and Anjia smoothly entered the city.

Without any stop along the way, they headed directly to the central structure of the city, the City Lord’s Mansion.

Guards in uniform outside the City Lord’s Mansion stopped the two of them.

“This is the City Lord’s Mansion. What business do you have here?”

The guard’s voice was stern, and his eyes flitted warily over the weapons on the duo.

“I saw the bounty set by the City Lord at the tavern, so after killing the bandit leader, I came to collect the reward.” Fang Hao lifted the increasingly reddening bag in his hand.

The bag contained the head of the bandit leader.

“The bandits’ bounty has been pending for many years, and you two managed to get it?” The guard’s face was full of disbelief.

Fang Hao didn’t look strong, and the robe over the iron armor was even weirder.

As for Anjia, she was a girl, so the guard didn’t believe they had the ability to eradicate the bandit camp.

“What kind of talk is that? I could take on ten of you single-handedly!” Anjia retorted.

“How dare you make trouble in front of City Lord’s Mansion…”

The guard shouted when he was contradicted, looking very authoritative in discharging his duties.

Fang Hao stopped Anjia who was about to retort, and directly unbuckled the bag.

Wa-la-la!

Fang Hao directly held up the head of the bandit for the guards to see.

A large amount of blood dripped onto the ground. The flesh on the neck of the head was still fresh, indicating that it was very recently cut.

“Based on your tone, you should have seen the bandit leader. The head is here, you can confirm whether we are capable or not.”

He pushed the head right in front of the guard.

With a pale face and fear written all over it, the guard recoiled two steps in the face of the unyielding gaze from the head.

But he was certain in his heart.

If the bandit leader doesn’t have a twin brother, then the head in front of him must be the leader of the bandits they have been trying to capture unsuccessfully for so long..
