Chapter 801: Irresistible Craving (1/2)

As Brown finished talking, Kempes, who had been indifferently and ruthlessly kicking Kans, suddenly stopped, and interest flashed in his eyes. He sat back at his desk as if minding his own business and resumed drinking his glass of wine.

”Poison Mist Valley?”

Brown promptly nodded.

”Yes, the Poison Mist Valley. In the past few days, that person has been going there frequently, and he even enters the poisoned area sometimes before quickly coming out. It would definitely be easy to kill that person in that environment if it's Sir Kempes…”

Kempes fiercely tore a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, suspicions flashing in his eyes.

'A mage of Okland is actually interested in that region? Didn't they already give up the research many years ago?'

In terms of understanding of the Poison Mist Valley, no one could compare to the Gaugass Battlemages. When other forces had stopped studying the Poison Mist Valley, only the Gaugass Battlemages still explored it.

Other people would at most walk a kilometer before being unable to keep moving forward. Anyone below the Archmage realm wouldn't be able to last more than five minutes without dying. Only Gaugass Battlemages could remain inside for a very long time, and although their speed was slow, they were still making progress.

Other mage forces might explore a kilometer deep at most, but they wouldn't find anything within a kilometer... Only stones, and such, nothing valuable.

But now that someone seemed to have thoughts on the Poison Mist Valley, Kempes immediately showed some interest.

After contemplating, Kempes nodded.

”Okay, I'll take care of this job offer. But the price will be the planar coordinates of your Charlotte Family's Golden Pearl Plane.”

Brown suddenly froze as he heard that.

The Golden Pearl Plane was the Charlotte Family's main source of metal. It could be said to be the heart of the Charlotte Family in terms of their weapon business and material business.

The Golden Pearl Plane was basically a desolate land with very little vegetation. But it was frighteningly rich in ore veins. Almost half of the ore veins were directly exposed to the surface, which made extracting them very simple.

The Golden Pearl Plane was rich in mineral resources, and over 30% of the ore veins were very prosperous, while the remaining ones were ordinary ore veins. But they also couldn't set aside all those veins, because even the ordinary ore veins would give birth to some rare magic ores.

A few days ago, a piece of Steel Core was found in an ordinary large-scale iron mine. This was a first-rate ore, and if used to forge a weapon, it would absolutely increase the rank of a Sword Saint by a rank. It was also a top-notch material that could be used to forge a True Spirit Magic Tool or increase the power of a True Spirit Magic Tool to an outrageous level. Even a direct attack from a Sword Saint wouldn't leave a mark on it.

The flourishing development of the Charlotte Family in the past years was inevitably linked to the Golden Pearl Plane, and its Planar Coordinates were a secret among the deepest secrets of the Charlotte Family. Those chosen to be sent to the Golden Pearl Plane were selected very carefully, and even an ordinary miner had to go through three inspections.

How could the Planar Coordinates of this kind of place be given to others? Wasn't this the same as cutting one's own arm? This would be a great blow to the Charlotte Family!

Brown's expression kept changing. He was wondering how to tactfully decline this demand when Kans wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth and fiercely answered, ”Good, I agree! As long as you can kill Mafa Merlin, I shall give you the Planar Coordinates!”

Light flickered in Kans' eyes as he inwardly sneered.

'It's only the Planar Coordinates, anyways. As long as this Kempes kills Mafa Merlin, it'll all be fine. It won't matter if I tell him. The Family won't know that the Planar Coordinates were leaked by me, as there are a lot of people who know about the Planar Coordinates. I can just grab two scapegoats when the time comes.

'And it'll be no use even if that Kempes knows the Planar Coordinates. The Golden Pearl Plane is guarded by a massive military force, so even if Kempes went, he wouldn't be able to come back, so the Family wouldn't lose much.'

Kempes didn't care what Kans was thinking; he only sneered as he replied, ”Alright, then we've reached an agreement. If you don't tell me the coordinates after I kill Mafa Merlin, I shall teach you why no one dares to double-cross a Gaugass Battlemage!”

Kans didn't care about it. He didn't plan on cheating Kempes, after all. The situation might become bigger if he tricked him, and it could get him dragged into a quagmire. In any case, no one would know who leaked the information.
