“For the rest of the journey, we can’t ride on gargoyles anymore. It’s easy to be exposed.”

Richard nodded and commanded the dark gargoyles to descend from the sky. He put the two gargoyles into the Tibetan soldier card.

Ferguson looked at Gray. “Send this mummy in as well. The smaller the target, the safer it will be.”

Richard was stunned. “Even heroes can enter it?”

“As long as it’s a normal life form…”

He nodded and took out the Tibetan soldier card. The hallucinatory space reappeared, and Gray entered it as well.

This thing was honestly a treasure.

Richard was well-pleased. In the future, whoever he went to negotiate with, he had to agree with the other party that they would only be allowed to meet privately.

If they could not reach an agreement, he would shake them… Negotiating with force was also a negotiation.

If they were to fight his troop alone, it was time to show off their strength.

‘You’re welcome.’

The degree of concealment increased by another level when only two people were left.

Ferguson looked at the sky.

“We’ll enter again after daybreak. After nightfall, the most powerful heroes and troops of Templar City will go out on guard to prevent the invasion of the Covenant of Evil. My current strength is unable to avoid their detection.”

It then comforted Richard.

“You don’t have to worry. The Scarlet Council has been operating in Templar City for decades. It’ll be fine.”

Richard nodded. He had restored the Sand Transformation skill.

As long as there was an undoable danger, he could just run away. He was not as worried as Ferguson thought.

After the ultimate battle, he realized that Beyond A-rank skill was initially used to create a home-field advantage. Using it to escape was honestly a godly skill…

Now, with the two skills that Ferguson had taught him, Threat Perception and Concealment Power, he really could not see his own shadow.

The two of them quieted down in the night. Richard thought for a moment. He took out two fire dragon rabbit blankets and handed one to Ferguson.

Ferguson was not impolite. He took it and sat down comfortably against the tree.

No enormous beasts or wild troops were gathering in this area because they were close to Templar City.

Not long after, the sound of flapping wings came from the sky.

A small team of giant dragons whizzed past their heads.

Ferguson and Richard suddenly stopped moving. They even held their breath.

Richard only breathed a sigh of relief when the giant dragons flew out of the area.

His relaxed mood immediately tensed up.

It was the lair of the light faction. If the enemies discovered what happened, it would be as easy as turning his bones into dust…

Moreover, he had also snatched a few great demon corpses from the hands of the demons. He had offended the two main factions of the dungeon.

It was also incredible.

“Keep quiet. Concealment Power is a skill I spent a lot of effort developing. It has an exceptionally audacious effect. They will surely not discover us while those giant dragons are not within 30 meters of us.”

Stunning confidence filled Ferguson’s entirety.

The corner of Richard’s mouth twitched. Thirty meters? He could only pray those scout dragoons would not be so stubborn.

Only when the sky gradually brightened did Richard heave a sigh of relief.

During this half of the night, more than 20 small squads of the templar dragoons passed over their heads.

The number of these top-tier troops was so large that it made Richard’s hair stand on end.

‘Was this the true heritage of an empire?

‘Twilight City still had a long way to go.’

“It’s time to move…”

Ferguson stood up when the sky had starkly brightened.

Richard was about to ask this Scarlet Council leader to return his blanket, but Ferguson waved its hand and put the blanket into a storage space without changing expression.

Richard opened his eyes. ‘This leader was taking advantage of this?

‘That was a fire dragon rabbit blanket sold at a high price…’

Ferguson looked at Richard’s stiff expression and was secretly happy. Richard had always been in control since they signed the covenant. This made the Scarlet Council leader very depressed.

It finally made this player suffer a loss.

Outside Templar City, a river more than 200 meters wide flowed slowly around the city wall. It formed a giant moat.

And in the southeast corner of the sub-gate, there was a deep-water dock.

A bustling small city had even been built around the dock.

At this time, the sky had just brightened, and several people and fleets had already begun to work.

All kinds of supplies were loaded and unloaded from the ships. It was very lively.

However, there were also some disharmonious scenes.

A large circle of lords with various accents had come to the city in the past two days. And they talked nonsense.

They claimed to be the grace lords. And the gods had summoned them to help the Templar City defend against evil.

Some even asked the residents if they had any missions to issue…

The ordinary residents had never seen this before. At first, they were severely scared. But after coming into contact with these so-called grace lords, they realized they honestly did everything.

From going out to hunt demons, killing their enemies, helping deliver letters, beating up the hoodlums across the street who were spying on their daughters, to even helping their own homes dig out sewers and drain feces… They were capable of anything.

That made the residents feel indeed curious. They gradually began to wonder if these god-blessed lords’ collective brains had been damaged…

How could a lord send his troop to do such a thing?

However, these guys were distinctly trouble-free. Some people were even willing to do it without giving them any reward.

The fear of the impending attack of the great demons and undead was greatly diluted by the sudden appearance of these sand sculptures for some time.

Richard immediately saw players shuttling back and forth after he followed Ferguson into the dock town.

Their unique flashy temperament and the way they had to follow them everywhere were too obvious.

However, he was not interested in these players who did not fit in. His gaze was fixed on the Templar City soldiers who passed by from time to time. And his heart was tense.

He initially thought that the two of them were going to sneak in.

However, after Ferguson hid the inscription on his forehead, he strode into the town from the main gate.

He even greeted a few guards warmly with a smile.

The scene made Richard wonder whether those were its relatives.

There was a space full of carriages at the corner of the gate.

A bearded coachman immediately drove a luxurious carriage to the two people not long after Ferguson finished greeting them.

“Good day, Lord Ferguson…”

It seemed the coachman had been waiting here for a long time judging his expression.

Ferguson smiled proudly as if it could see Richard’s confusion.

“Our Scarlet Chamber of Commerce is a big chamber of commerce in Templar City. Young man, there’s still a long way to go. Watch and learn…”

Richard understood. This was its cover.

He did not say anything else. Under the coachman’s surprised gaze, he got into the carriage with Ferguson.

“Lord Ferguson… Do you, do you want to call another carriage to pick up your friend? How can he sit with you?”

Ferguson’s angry voice came from inside.

“This is my nephew. It’s fine. Let’s go. Don’t block the way.”

“Nephew? How come I don’t remember you having such a nephew?”

The coachman muttered as he drove the carriage forward.

The corner of Richard’s mouth twitched. This bastard was too narrow-minded. How could he take advantage of this?

The feeling was joyous every time Ferguson saw this young man’s expression having the same personality during childhood.

It was a cruel joke.

“Big Brother… The strength of this Scarlet Chamber of Commerce is truly terrifying!

“Yesterday, I saw a level 14 hero enter the secret chamber. I also heard from those NPCs that this level was as a gatekeeper in the headquarters…”

“The quests this chamber of commerce randomly triggered are all D-rank and C-rank. They are countless times stronger than the outside world! If we successfully join, we will surely have a golden leg!”

In the core area of the dock town, in front of a three-story shop that occupied a huge area.

Dozens of luxuriously dressed merchants stood at the entrance as if they were waiting for someone.

A few players who did not fit in with the surrounding people stood at the back. Their gazes burned as they looked at the end of the street.

“I heard the person we’re welcoming is the Vice President of the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce. He has connections with the great nobles in Templar City.”

“If we can earn its recognition. Tsk, tsk, we’ll surely be able to take off in one go. By then, Qingqiu will count as nothing. Wouldn’t obtaining a few treasures be better than grinding monsters to death?”

One of the skinny players said, “I just heard that the Vice President has a high position and is extremely difficult to approach. I’m afraid it’s a top-tier NPC that requires a lot of time and effort to gain favorability. Everyone should be mentally prepared.”

The calm-looking leading player said, “Right now, the most important thing is to join the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.”

The skinny player shook his head.

“The entrance to this chamber of commerce is insane. We are still probationary members. I’m afraid we will need at least three days to become official members…”

As he spoke, he became excited again.

“However, I believe that we are the players with the fastest progress. As long as we could join this chamber of Commerce, we will surely obtain amazing benefits!”

A commotion came from the front just as the few immersed themselves in their hopes for a better future.

The Vice President of the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce had arrived!

The few players immediately stretched their necks to look. It was the NPC with the highest status they could come to meet. It was ultimately a big shot.

If they could get closer to it, this dungeon would win…

Under the players’ gazes…

‘Creak! Creak! Creak!’

The carriage slowly came to a stop.

A few NPCs with the highest status stood in front of them. They usually did not even have the right to greet them. They immediately stepped forward with smiles and took the initiative to open the carriage door for them.

Their humble attitude made the few players even more excited.

They had great expectations for the NPCs inside.

The next moment, a thin figure with a solemn expression and an extraordinary aura walked out of the carriage. He was about forty years old.

They immediately opened their status panel and gasped when they saw the level 19 player.

Due to the Concealment Power, they could no longer detect the hero’s condition.

At this moment, they could only sigh at the strength of this hero.

After the Vice President alighted from the carriage, the surrounding high-level NPCs immediately stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

However, to the players’ surprise, the Vice President only nodded indifferently. He then moved aside and pulled the carriage door open.

This scene immediately silenced the crowd. What was this?

A few breaths later, an exceptionally handsome figure who wore a black robe appeared from within the carriage.

The Vice President at this moment was ultimately a top-tier big shot in the players’ eyes still. But it pulled the carriage door open.

Grant the Vice President to pull the carriage door open for the young man.

The few players were stunned. What level of a worthy young man was this?

They could not help but feel excited as they hurriedly opened the young man’s attributes panel.

They were starkly stunned.

An ID that all dungeon players were intensely familiar with appeared before their eyes.

Qingqiu.

The few players looked at each other and saw the stupefaction in the other party’s eyes.

‘What the hell is going on???’

‘How did that Qingqiu get involved with the Vice President of the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce? Furthermore, the other party even opened the carriage door for him!…’

“F*ck! That’s a level 19 hero!!”

“Does a dauntless leader need to open the carriage door for the young man??”

“Isn’t this looking down on our pride and disdain?”

“You’re a level 19 hero. And the Vice President of a force like the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce. Why would you help a player pull the carriage door?!!!”

The few players felt as if their entire bodies were about to collapse.

They had done so many missions and sacrificed half of their troops. But they were still a trainee member.

And they needed to look up to, or even beg to see, a top-tier NPC that ignored them. Yet, in front of player Qingqiu like them, they had done such an inhumane and despicable thing.

Did he have any humanity?

Did he talk about the basic law?

Where was the justice!!!
