56: Chapter 55: A Ghost is Coming to Seize Territory (Second Update)

Owen Bertram got up early in the morning, proactively going to Lord Prescott to pay his respects.

If someone wants to be a subordinate, they must have manners!

Sumptuous breakfasts and the like are all minor details.

But after waiting for a while, he didn’t see Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow.

“Whatever, I’ve already had a meal at home anyway.”

Owen Bertram had the mechanical Dao soldiers on his mind and didn’t want to waste any more time, so he left.

As for Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, she was delayed by Abigail Turner.

Although Abigail Turner had always been overshadowed by Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, she was from a powerful family and was dearly spoiled.

Even in the Horizon Bureau, the cases she was responsible for were usually safe and easy ways to get achievements.

Last night was the closest she had come to death in her life.

A giant claw passed by her ear—the real brush with death.

Afterwards, Abigail Turner was in a state of shock, which had frightened Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow.

After all, if anything happened to Lord Prescott, she would also be implicated.

She stayed by her side, being careful until the morning, but Lord Prescott hadn’t shown any signs of improvement.

“It’s over, her soul’s been frightened off.

I really can’t do anything,” Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow helplessly shrugged in secret.

“This is simply fantastic!”

…

Owen Bertram was full of enthusiasm.

He threw Little Loach into the Hunshui River to let it grow, and began to build the mechanical Dao soldiers wholeheartedly.

Little Loach tried to contact him many times throughout the day, but was rejected by Elder Brother mercilessly.

By the time it was almost dark, he finally completed it.

Owen Bertram felt an immense sense of achievement.

Whether it was his past life or this life, the feeling of creating a complex object with his own hands was wonderful.

This is the charm of handicraft.

Owen Bertram worked quickly to equip the armor and sabre that Uncle Oliver Eastwood had given him onto the mechanical Dao soldiers.

The giant figurine was complete!

Owen Bertram folded his arms and examined it with a tilt of his head.

His initially satisfied gaze gradually changed to hesitation.

Then he walked around the mechanical Dao soldiers, turning left three times, right three times, and abruptly rubbed his forehead in frustration: “No wonder it felt like something extra!”

“Why did I choose a war general for the first life-sized figurine I’ve ever made?”

“It should have been a war maiden!”

Despite some regrets, Owen Bertram was still quite satisfied.

Looking at the sky, he hurried home—he had promised his little sister before that he would be home before dark from now on, so she wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

So, he didn’t have time to go to the village entrance and greet Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow.

And from yesterday onward, he completely forgot to take out the Horizon Bureau’s token from the Brocade Pouch.

While dining with his little sister, Owen Bertram vaguely felt like he’d forgotten something…

Where was Little Brother?!

In his hurry to get home, he forgot to go pick Little Brother up from the riverside.

At the shivery riverside at night, Little Loach, who had been waiting for his Elder Brother with his head held high, wore a bewildered expression.

Owen Bertram transferred his soul over to him, to convey a concept to Little Loach: you performed well today, so you’re permitted to spend another night outside as a reward.

Little Loach:????

I don’t believe you!

Little Loach made a fuss at the riverside.

Owen Bertram knew he was wrong, though he stubbornly refused to admit that he had forgotten Little Brother.

However, he still agreed to some humiliating conditions, such as assisting Little Loach in finding delicious food with all his might for the next three days.

Like if Little Loach wanted to spend the night outside in the future, Owen Bertram had to agree and wasn’t allowed to restrict him.

Finally satisfied, Little Loach’s anger dissolved and he wriggled into the water, happily blowing a string of bubbles.

…

At the village entrance, the Horizon Bureau’s people had yet another bewildering day.

By noon, Abigail Turner had finally come to her senses.

After having some hot soup for lunch and resting for another half a shichen, she changed her clothes.

It was then she remembered that she had a task at hand, and ordered Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow to summon the Trial Training General.

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow sent the message using the Token, but till nightfall, she received no response!

At this point, it suddenly dawned on Miss Vanessa: Was this fellow ignoring me?

Indeed, he was either neglecting Abigail Turner or ignoring you.

The other Military Officers of the Horizon Bureau were looking at Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow and Abigail Turner with strange eyes.

A Chief Flag, for two days, could not summon the only Trial Training General under him.

A Lord Prescott, for two days, had made no progress in the task she was responsible for.

In the same span of time, she also lost her senses for half a day…

You two, truly a match made in heaven, what a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!

“Let’s return to the cave.” Abigail Turner calmly said.

…

The Commander’s Token flew into the Ghost Zone, four of the King of Souls knelt down to welcome it: “Greetings, Honored Lord.”

Having gained experience over these few days, Owen Bertram, controlling the Commander’s Token, nodded a few times, considering it a response to them.

The King of Souls stepped forward and said, “Honoured Lord, there’s a matter this servant will report.

Tonight, outside the Ghost Zone, the aura of the underworld is very strong, accompanied by a Ghost Wind, probably some fellow with an eye on us.”

Owen Bertram was taken aback, what did he mean?

The King of Souls explained, which was the reason why the four of them weren’t willing to integrate with the Ghost Zone before.

Once the Ghost Zone “had a boss”, it would become highly attractive to many fierce Ghost Beings.

Occupy, seize this kind of Ghost Zone, and you can directly snatch the cultivation of the four of them.

And strong Ghost Beings had a sense of one another.

What the King of Souls referred to as “Ghost Wind” blowing was a strong Ghost lurking outside the Ghost Zone, using this sense to probe the four Kings of Souls.

Owen Bertram thought for a while, he had to clear up this matter, so without any hesitation, he took over Little Loach’s body and manipulated Little Loach to head towards the Ghost Zone.

Little Loach felt very wronged, you clearly forgot about me, so you compensated me by letting me roam outside for a night.

Now you want to use my body to run your errands?

The four Kings of Souls recognized Little Loach as the “Envoy” of the Honored Lord, so they respectfully lifted the Ghost Account and welcomed it in.

Little Loach spoke in human language: “How powerful is the opponent?”

The King of Souls disdainfully said: “Just a second Great Realm.”

“For such a minor matter, you felt the need to let me know?” Little Loach said dissatisfiedly.

The King of Souls hurriedly crawled down and explained: “This servant wanted to use this opportunity to report to the Honored Lord.

In the future, such instances are sure to be numerous, we are prepared to make some alterations to the Ghost Zone, increase its deterrent power, and make those with ulterior motives retreat at the sight of our Ghost Zone.”

Little Loach nodded: “Alright, go do your work.”

“Yes, this humble servant respectfully sends off the Honored Lord.”

Little Loach’s tail gently swayed, stirring up a beautiful ripple, and disappeared into the river water.

After coming out of the Ghost Zone, Little Loach kept on complaining in Owen Bertram’s consciousness.

Owen suddenly remembered something, “What were you about to do just now?”

“When I found you, why were you in the Hunshui River, and near the Iron Spear Underground Palace at that?”

“Without your elder brother keeping an eye on you, were you planning to risk your life and try to steal a Demon Beast Glyph Bone again?”

Little Loach solemnly vowed and vehemently denied: No, I wasn’t, that’s nonsense!

The Hunshui River is so dangerous, I just wanted to find a safe place to spend the night.

After reminding Little Loach, Owen Bertram did not pester him anymore and withdrew his consciousness.

Little Loach let out a sigh of relief, why was he so unlucky?

Just when he finally found a chance to steal a meal, his elder brother came looking for him.

Owen, on the other hand, was considering the Ghost Being that was eyeing the Ghost Zone secretly.

After a thorough explanation from the King of Souls, Owen concluded: Someone’s coming to seize our territory!

If it was a real powerhouse, Owen swore that he would turn a blind eye, but you are just a second Great Realm, did Aunt Liang give you the courage?

“Tomorrow, let’s go around the Ghost Zone to see if we can flush that thing out!”
