--- Chapter 56 ---
[You have completed a Quest]
[Rewarding 1k system points and a random skill]
[Random skill... Blacksmith]
'Blacksmith?' Yunlong thought with a confused expression while looking at the system panel.
'I mean, it's fine, I guess.' He inwardly added in his heart because the blacksmith itself one of many professions in this world, even though it's only shining 10.000 years later.
In this era, a blacksmith was not really a thing. Still, ten thousand years later, a blacksmith profession would become an essential role after technology grew a lot.
'Well, I can go to the sun and moon continent later to check about their technology progress.' Yunlong thought while turning his gaze at the other system panel.
[You have finished a part of Chain Quests]
[Rewarding 10k system points and a random ego]
[You have received a nameless ego]
'Nameless ego?' Yunlong frowned while looking at the system panel, which suddenly glowing with white light.
A black ring with white eyes symbol suddenly appeared out of the system panel and floating in the air while constantly releasing a bright golden light.
[Name: None]
[Type: Ego/Equipment]
[Grade: Rare?]
[Description: An ego is a weapon or item with a conscience, and it usually mimics its host's character and develops over time with its owner]
[Do you want to bound the nameless ago?]
[Y/N]
'Nothing bad will happen if I bound this ego, right?' Yunlong asked his system.
[Correct, host]
Yunlong nodded his head and then agreed to bound the ego with himself, making the ring shone brighter as the white eye symbol turned purple.
[To fully bound. You need to give the nameless ego a name, host]
'A name... Greed?' He stared at the ring, which suddenly flew to his right hand's index finger.
[Greed fully bound to the host]
"Hmm, I don't feel any differences," Yunlong commented while looking at the ring.
"Well, let's focus on the mission first." He added while turning his gaze at the other man, the bandit leader's business partner.
Yunlong already scanned his memory when he put him in the frightful illusion. The information he got was surprising because this man is a slave trader and the heaven dou auction house's vice leader.
Not only he buys a kidnapped female from the bandit's leader, but he also sells them as a slave for the nobles.
'That explains a lot about these women around them.' Yunlong thought while looking at the naked women around the man, who are fearfully staring at him.
"Hey, you guys are free now," Yunlong stated with a smile on his face, but he could tell that these people don't believe him.
"Young master." The driver suddenly appeared on his side and kneeled.
"Oh, you're already done saving them from that cage?" Yunlong asked while turning around and saw his sister walking toward him, followed by a group of young women.
'They only kidnapped females, huh.' Yunlong commented because he doesn't see a single male's hostage.
[Chain Quest]
[Heaven Dou Auction House's Dark Side]
[Objective: save the slaves inside of the auction house]
[Reward: 7k System Points, 1x random earth flame]
'Okay, one random earth flame?' Yunlong intrigued while looking at the system panel.
Yunlong will never think a chain quest would be this rewarding. It's not even a challenging quest because this bandit's leader is only a soul master with two soul rings.
'Maybe it's become harder the more I finished every part of this chain quest?' Yunlong assumed that while pulling his katana out of the bandit leader's head, and swung it to clean the blood before sheathing it back.
"Yunlong? Hey, Yunlong?!" Qian Renxue's voice echoed in Yunlong's ears, which snaps him out of his thought.
"Ah, yeah. Do you need something?" Yunlong stared at his sister, who is pouting at him.
"What should we do with these people?" Qian Renxue asked while staring at the women around them.
"Uh, honestly, I didn't plan anything for that," Yunlong answered with a weak smile on his face.
Qian Renxue's mouth twitched for a moment before facepalming herself and releasing a heavy sigh of annoyance.
"There should be a spirit hall's branch around this area, right?" Yunlong suddenly asked the driver, who nodded his head.
"Well, let's bring them there." He added while taking a peek at the women, who are still afraid of him.
'I don't know if they are afraid of me or not.' Yunlong thought while inwardly sighing and then walking out of the room.
--- Outside of the cave ---
"As I expected, he's fast." Jin Eyu commented while looking at Yunlong, who brought a group of women out of the cave.
"Well, his enemies are only a bunch of normal peoples and a soul master with two soul rings." He added while thinking that the bandits were not even challenging for Yunlong because he already at level 39.
'Wait, how many people can I fit into the ring?' Yunlong stared at Jin Eyu because if he can place these women into his unique spatial ring, he can easily use Jin Eyu as transportation again.
But then he remembers about the heaven dou auction house's vice leader, who is still in illusion. He didn't kill him but brings this man because he would be so helpful later in heaven dou city.
'There are 19 hostages, one man, and combined with my group, it should be 25 people.' He inwardly added while shifting his gaze at his sister, who watched him with a confused expression.
"What?" Qian Renxue responded with a frown.
"Nothing." Yunlong smiled while turning his gaze back.
[You can fit a maximum of thirty people in that spatial ring, host]
'I see. It should be okay then.' Yunlong thought when hearing his system's answer while gazing at the hostages.
The hostages can clearly feel Yunlong's gaze, so they dodge his gaze by awkwardly lowering their heads.
"These women are?" Jin Eyu asked Yunlong, who is shaking his head.
"They're hostages of this bandit group. I saved them." Yunlong simply replied, which makes the hostage staring at him for a moment with wonder.
"I see..." Jin Eyu nodded his head, but Yunlong can tell that he's not interested in this bunch of normal women.
"Well, I need your help again," Yunlong stated with a smile on his face, making Jin Eyu's mouth twitched in distress.
"Haah... Fine." Jin Eyu sighed while feeling depressed.
Yunlong fastly put his maids, the driver, and the hostages into his unique spirit ring. Still, before that, he instructed the driver and maids to explain their situations.
After that, Yunlong destroyed the cave passage and then said, "Okay, we can go now."
"Why did you destroy the way to that cave?" Qian Renxue asked, to which Yunlong responded with a neutral expression.
"We already loot it, it's an empty cave, so it would be useless for us," Yunlong stated while staring at his sister.
"I also destroyed it for clearing our presence from this place." He added, which makes Jin Eyu nodded his head in understanding.
"Let's go back to the inn." Jin Eyu suddenly said while taking them with his arms and flying to the night skies.
'Heaven Dou Auction House...' Yunlong thought while staring at the night skies.
'Let's see what kind of dark scheme did you do behind the scene of the original story.' He inwardly said with a smile on his face, not realizing the ego greed in his right hand's index finger shone with dim purple light.
