Who hid My Corpse!

When he realized that the visitor was a genuine Contract Land envoy, Lair felt as though his heart and lungs were about to stop.

What the hell?!

Wasn't the Contract Land's envoy already slain by Lord Visas?! Why is there a new one?!

So is it my turn to prove my identity to him now?!

In that instant, all sorts of thoughts flooded Lair's mind, especially when Isaiah's scrutinizing gaze fell upon him. Lair began to wonder if Lord Visas would help him once he failed to prove himself.

Isaiah's gaze constantly wandered between Lair and the new envoy's faces.

The new envoy had a poker face, showing little change in expression. Perhaps because the news came too suddenly, leaving him unprepared, Lair also maintained a poker face.

Only...

Isaiah noticed quite clearly that when the new envoy appeared, Lair's fingers twitched unnaturally twice, immediately giving him a judgment, though he didn't reveal it. Instead, he smiled and asked the new envoy, "You're also from Contract Land, just like him?"

After Isaiah spoke, the new envoy's gaze naturally fell on Lair.

That intensely scrutinizing look made Lair's blood run half cold, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth, preparing to explode with everyone here.

But to Lair's surprise, the new Contract Land envoy merely glanced at him and nodded, "Hmm, so it's you."

Lair was slightly puzzled.

Wha, what do you mean, so it's you?

Did you react so casually? It seems like we don't even know each other.

Lair's confusion was also Isaiah's confusion, but Isaiah didn't show it. He simply asked calmly, "So, both of you are envoys from Contract Land?"

"Yes." The new envoy nodded, "But our missions differ. He stays at Nameless Town, responsible for guiding you to the assembly location, while I came from the headquarters with a more urgent message for you."

"A more urgent message?"

"Yes." The new envoy gently placed a hand on his chest, "About two days' journey from Nameless Town is Delar Town, do you know it?"

"No, I'm unfamiliar with lands outside the Star Relic." Isaiah shook his head, then asked, "Has the assembly location been changed to there?"

"No, it's not." The new envoy shook his head as well, "A very dangerous person has appeared there. Following an urgent discussion in Contract Land, we hope you can go to take him down."

Isaiah's hand lightly tapping on the table suddenly stopped, and he showed a surprised expression.

"A dangerous person for me to take down?" Isaiah frowned slightly, "Is it Rhein's Ulu?"

The first person that came to Isaiah's mind was Ulu, but Ulu is the Hand Eye, who had already informed him of his location, not at Delar Town. So if Hand Eye is at Delar Town, doesn't it mean that Taoyuan Village's restraint has no hold over Hand Eye?

Thinking of this made Isaiah look so serious.

The new envoy shook his head, "No, it's not Ulu."

If not Ulu, then who?

Tongue perhaps?

But let's not talk about how Contract Land got information on Tongue, just about Tongue himself...

Isaiah turned to look at Lair.

Isn't Tongue right here?

Isaiah was rarely puzzled, but fortunately, the new envoy didn't continue speaking in riddles and directly stated, "It's not someone you know, this person is named Edwin, he was once an Eternal Nightmare Apostle, and he doesn't have Corpse Blocks, but he is very dangerous…"

Then, the new envoy informed Isaiah about Edwin's profile.

After listening, Isaiah's tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed.

As long as that guy isn't Hand Eye, a Hand Eye not bound by Taoyuan Village's rules is indeed terrifying.

In comparison, a mad scholar possessing forbidden knowledge is much more acceptable.

But how did this mad scholar emerge, and why precisely at this moment?

Isaiah asked, "Why me to take him down? Can't Contract Land send others?"

"Rhein's Bishop Rocky and Eternal Nightmare's Church Leader Fenris are already on their way." The new envoy said, "But to be safe, we still hope you will also go. As for us, we are still perfecting the assembly facilities, and can't spare more people at the moment... Besides, remember, in principle, Contract Land still cannot become known to the world."

Isaiah smiled and said, "But there are already two envoys standing before me."

"This extent is already the limit." The new envoy placed a hand on his chest again, "Respected Mr. Isaiah, everything I have said to you is simply Contract Land's request of you. We have no authority to command your actions, but we still hope for your assistance, because based on our judgment, if that mad scholar continues to escalate, the destruction he brings will be at least as much as Ulu possessing five Corpse Blocks."

"With what you've said, I'm even more curious about what knowledge he's studying, that it has prompted the Three Great Churches to join forces to annihilate him, and poses a threat comparable to Ulu with five Corpse Blocks." Isaiah raised an eyebrow, "But if I were to ask you directly, you probably wouldn't tell me, right?"

"Taboo is so because it should leave no trace in any mind, including mine." The new envoy said, "Believe me, Mr. Isaiah, you wouldn't want to know."

While the new envoy and Isaiah conversed, Lair stood with a completely bewildered expression.
