Chapter 337 Candidates
In the northern suburbs of Tivian, outside the east gate of King's Campus, in the green town.
In the green town at night, there was a light drizzle in the sky. The faint light of the street lamps lit up the night sky on the street. There was no figure on the cold street. The lights of the houses on both sides of the road were turned off. There was still no light coming out of the window of No. 17.
In the living room of No. 17 Greenshade Town, Dorothy, in her pajamas, sat on the sofa. Not far away, there was a crackling fire in the fireplace. The blazing fire and the DVD player dissipated the chill from the surroundings, keeping the whole room at a comfortable temperature.
In front of Dorothy was a wooden coffee table, on which were scattered many pieces of paper, all with neat fonts printed by a machine. Dorothy, who was sitting beside the coffee table, was examining the pieces of paper one by one in the light of the fire.
These notes were all telegrams that Dorothy had recently exchanged with the Order of the Dark Coffins. Regarding Woodhoof and a group of wilderness spirits, Dorothy had been bargaining with the Order of the Dark Coffins in recent days, and finally reached a deal acceptable to both parties. These numerous telegrams were the result of frequent telegram exchanges during this period of time.
Although she had reached a deal with the other party, Dorothy did not destroy the telegrams immediately. Instead, she was carefully analyzing the contents of the telegrams, trying to extract more information about the Order of the Underworld and to find out their intentions more clearly.
'The guy who sent the telegram seemed a little angry about my switching, and scolded me for being a thief many times. The people who contacted me from the Order of the Dark Coffin... maybe they were the ones who went to hunt Woodhoof. I wonder if my behavior has delayed their mission.'
Dorothy thought so. Going to the Continent to hunt the Spirits of the Wilderness, according to Kapak's description of the strength and status of the Spirits of the Wilderness... the ones who would carry out this kind of mission might be Extraordinary Beings of the Black Soil or Cretaceous Stage, that is, people at the level of small or medium leaders in large organizations. As members of the senior leadership, they would only be dispatched when carrying out important tasks.
"If the opponent is at most White Rank... then I can still deal with it..."
Dorothy thought so, and then she began to shift her attention to the transaction conditions proposed by the other party.
"These guys specifically specified that they wanted to meet in person to do the transaction, and would not accept any mail delivery. Although they said that they wanted to inspect the goods on site, I'm afraid there are some other intentions behind this... In any case, meeting them directly would give them the opportunity to test me up close, which is very risky. Maybe they want to rob me..."
Dorothy thought like this. As for the issue of how to carry out the transaction, she had a heated debate with the Coffin. Dorothy wanted to send it by mail, but the other side insisted on a face-to-face transaction in Dankdo. In the end, the result of the debate was that Dorothy accepted the face-to-face transaction, and the transaction location was designated by Dorothy as Tivian.
It was obvious that Dankodo was an important stronghold of the Order of the Underworld. They must have a huge influence there. Dorothy would never go there. On the contrary, Dorothy was very familiar with Tivian.
'Although the transaction location has been successfully set at Tivian... this kind of face-to-face transaction is still a bit disadvantageous to me. After all, I can't match them in terms of head-on strength. Without the ability to use puppets, this kind of contact is still very risky.
"What a pity... It's too difficult to make a puppet pretend to be a human when facing these guys..."
Dorothy continued to think that the other party required that only real people should come over when conducting the transaction, and no puppets of any kind could be used, nor could the extraordinary items of "shadow" be used to avoid detection. This was a rather tricky requirement for Dorothy, who was used to using puppets.
Facing the extraordinary being of "Silence", it is very difficult for Dorothy's puppet to hide. The reason is that the extraordinary being of "Silence" can feel the soul of a person. Dorothy knew this when she was communicating with Capac and Nefernis.
In the eyes of the "Silent" Extraordinary, no matter how much Dorothy's corpse puppet behaves like a real person, it cannot be hidden from the other party, because the corpse puppet is already dead, it is a living corpse without a soul. The "Silent" Extraordinary cannot feel the soul in a living corpse.
Of course, Dorothy also has the means of living puppets, and she can manipulate several living puppets to trade. But the problem is that when the other party trades, they will definitely bring detection props such as the Radiant Light. If they are covered by the Radiant Light, the extraordinary traces of the living puppet will be exposed, and the other party will know directly that it is a puppet.
At that time, Dorothy could also use the Ring of Concealment to remotely inflict a stealth effect on the living puppet that resisted extraordinary detection, allowing the living puppet to resist the detection of the Visible Lamp.
But this will cause another problem. The Beyonder of "Silence" has soul induction. If Dorothy applies the effect of the Ring of Concealment to the living puppet, then any Beyonder detection and Beyonder perception targeting the living puppet will be invalid, including the soul induction of the Beyonder of "Silence".
Being blocked by the "shadow" to perceive the soul, it is equivalent to the "silent" extraordinary person not being able to feel the soul of this person. After all, everyone has a soul, and it would be strange if there is no soul.
This means that if Dorothy uses a living puppet to bargain, she will be discovered by the Light of Brilliance if she does not use the Ring of Concealment, but will be discovered by soul perception if she uses the Ring of Concealment. This is the case with living puppets, let alone ordinary corpse puppets without souls.
To sum up, if Dorothy wants to negotiate face to face with the coffin, she must get a living person on her side to come forward.
"Huh... this is a bit difficult..."
Dorothy sighed and murmured, she leaned back on the sofa, then picked up a list from the coffee table and looked at it in front of her.
This is a voucher issued by the port. In addition to the voucher, there is also a contract signed with Marcosi. This morning, Dorothy used the corpse doll to take this contract to the Port of Tivian, where she took over the "tobacco" cargo that had just arrived at the port. After paying enough "hard work fees" to the customs, Dorothy's corpse doll finally transported this batch of "tobacco" out of the port.
Now, the Wild Spirit Woodhoof and its subordinate spirits are in Dorothy's hands and stored in a warehouse on the outskirts of Tivian. For Dorothy now, the goods have been received and now it's time to trade them.
The time she agreed with the Coffin Order was three days later. For Dorothy, her first task was to find a suitable candidate to help her. After all, with Dorothy's current ability structure, it was definitely more suitable for her to stay behind the scenes. Without the behind-the-scenes, the overall strength would be half.
"So... who should we invite?"
Lying on the sofa, Dorothy began to think about the candidate.
'Among the people I have a close relationship with, Adele of the Cretaceous Stage is undoubtedly the strongest, but her identity as a big star is too eye-catching, and there is a risk of being recognized even after disguise. Moreover, she represents the Scarlet Heart, which is mainly hostile to the Wolf Blood Society. If I bring her in, it is equivalent to asking her to oppose the Coffin Order. Just based on this point, she may not agree to my request. It's okay to ask her to fight the Wolf Blood Society, but she may not agree to ask her to make other enemies. After all, she and I are just a cooperative relationship.
"Vanya is the person I trust the most now. If I ask her to come forward, she will definitely agree. But the question is, is Vanya really suitable to face the Order of the Coffin? These guys who use ghosts have very strange methods. If there is a fraud or something happens, can Vanya, who is more outstanding in healing and biological destruction, handle it?"
