Death Notice

“It’s fine. I’m leaving the city this afternoon and will probably be gone for a few days. You can wait until I return to complete the trade!” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed as he spoke ambiguously. Of course, he didn’t want to give Osiris time to think; the sooner the deal was settled, the greater the benefits he could gain.

“You’re leaving this afternoon?” Osiris frowned slightly and sighed. “If you’re free now, please wait a few minutes. I’ll be back soon!”

Watching Osiris step away from the projection, Qin Lun let out a soft sigh of relief. He was now certain that the Apostle who needed the Exemption Token was very close to Osiris and about to embark on an Otherworld Mission; they absolutely couldn’t wait for several days.

…

Meanwhile, in the hall of a luxurious villa at Devil’s Horn, Osiris, wearing a wind element mask, was speaking to a stern-faced young man. “Leader, I need those Skill Scrolls from the team warehouse. If my Contribution Points aren’t enough, I hope you can grant me an advance equivalent to two Quest Worlds!”

“Osiris, that Apostle might have already seen through your intentions. If you rush the trade like this, you’ll likely be taken advantage of!” A heroic-looking man with white short hair, sitting on the sofa in the hall, frowned and tried to console him.

“Yes, Osiris, won’t you reconsider?” A blue-haired girl in the hall softly agreed, tiny flashes of lightning occasionally visible within her closed eyes.

“Rulna died because of me! I promised to take care of his sister!” Osiris suddenly roared with surging anger. “You all know how dangerous the first Class Change mission is! I absolutely will not let her repeat the same old path we walked before!”

Silence fell over the hall. A trace of dazedness appeared in everyone’s eyes. Even though they had all crossed the threshold of the second Class Change, some memories from their lives could never be erased.

“Rulna was our comrade. Even though he fell while taking a private job, we should still take care of his sister.” The stern-faced young team leader sighed. “Alright, Osiris. Within the limits of my and your Contribution Points, you pick the good items first. I’ll go ask the Leader to open the Team Warehouse so we can complete this trade as soon as possible.” “Add mine too,” the blue-haired girl said plainly, then turned her head to look at the white-haired heroic man.

“Why are you looking at me? Since you all agree, would I be stingy with those Contribution Points?” The white-haired man smiled bitterly and touched his nose. He then turned to Osiris and said seriously, “Our Contribution Points are at your disposal. However, if that Apostle demands too much, Osiris, you know what to do!”

“I know. If he tries to pull a major scam, I will find a way to get his personal information after the trade is complete.” A cold glint flashed in Osiris’s eyes.

…

“I have acquired the items you wanted. Please take a look and see which ones meet your requirements!” Qin Lun didn’t have to wait long before Osiris sat down in front of the projection again.

His attitude seems to have changed… Qin Lun immediately sensed the difference in Osiris’s tone. This High-Rank Apostle’s attitude had cooled significantly; he no longer seemed focused on haggling and just wanted to finish this trade quickly.

The thought flashed through Qin Lun’s mind, but his attention was soon captured by the scroll projections before him. There were seven or eight Skill Scrolls laid out before him. One was the Frost Wind, a seventh-tier magic spell, and another was Titan Descent, an eighth-tier summoning magic spell. Seeing these made Qin Lun’s heart skip a beat.

Although he didn’t know the exact value of high-tier magic, such things probably couldn’t be offset by Dark Gold Equipment alone. If he actually chose those two spells, the team behind Osiris would definitely not let the matter rest easily.

“I want… these three scrolls!” After a moment’s contemplation, Qin Lun lightly tapped twice on the projection.

“Are you sure?” Seeing the Skill Scrolls Qin Lun requested, a flicker of anger passed through Osiris’s eyes. The value of these three scrolls plus the Dark Gold Ring already exceeded 350,000 Shattered Crystals.

“Mm, these three scrolls in exchange for the Dark Gold Helmet and the Exemption Token!” Qin Lun said with a smile. “Your Dark Gold Ring doesn’t need to be part of the deal.”

“No Divine Light Ring?” Osiris was slightly stunned. He took a deep look at Qin Lun. “Alright. I’ll deposit the items at the Auction House. We’ll complete the trade within the day.”

“Okay, pleasure doing business!” Qin Lun revealed a charming smile, but as soon as he turned off the projection, his smile vanished, and he let out a soft sigh.

The three Skill Scrolls he chose were all low-tier scrolls: one was Virtual Magic Web, one was Summoning Overlay, and the last one was the wind-element Drift Technique.

Virtual Magic Web: Constructed a virtual Magic Network Core within the Apostle Soul Mark, allowing all of one’s own spells to be imprinted onto the Magic Network Core. It enabled spellcasting using one’s own mana without needing to connect to the World Law, only being restricted by the laws of the Quest World.
