GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The heat produced by the explosion of the bomb stone is also short-lived. It will char a body in an instant, but it won’t linger on as flames.

The bomb stone clearly has a lot of defects. But if someone wants to cover up the fact that they stole a lot of energy water from a certain store and also fake their death at the same time, a bomb stone is the ideal fire starter to use.

The bomb stone will react with the energy water left in the scene and take the blame for the disappearance of the energy water that was stolen.

In the case of the base of the lamp bearers, the job of the bomb stone was to create a large shockwave that simulates the effects of an earthquake and cause the whole building to collapse.

Legion didn’t care that there were knights still in the building. All they cared about was that Bushwick had taken his men to the base before it exploded. That was why the explosion went off after Bushwick got to the base.

This way, the collapse of the building would cover up the traces of his raid, and anything else left would be attributed to Sir Bushwick and his knights.

Legion did all of this to end their identity as a lamp bearer as cleanly as possible. Of course, they earned a lot of good things too, such as the 4,150 liters’ worth of energy water.

This is the life savings of the Ivory family since they gained control of the town more than 200 years ago. What he took was less than half of the savings in that storehouse.

From what he got from reading the minds of the members of the Ivory family, there is more than one storehouse, and every week, the family enters them to deposit at least one liter of energy water.

So even if the family had only been saving 1 liter of energy water in that store per week for 200 years, they would have saved up to 9,600 liters of energy water. At the current price of 11 gold per liter, that’s 105,600 gold coins.

He had taken 4,150 liters, which is 45,650 gold coins. He could have taken more, but he was running out of time.

His priority was to fake his death and escape cleanly, so he quickly took out the burned corpse he had prepared from the bucket, placed it on the ground, and set up the bomb stones to explode after he left with a timer array.

If he had had time, he would have taken more. All he had was two minutes. In those two minutes, he set up the bomb and moved 83 kegs of 50 liters each. Then he escaped.

Now he is on his way to meet Black Knife. To be exact, he is on his way to take the thing he asked Black Knife to leave for him in the location that he specified earlier.

Legion-4 briefly calculated how much energy water they have now. He said, “372 liters from our previous savings, 213 liters from the lamp bearers, 4,150 liters from our hard work, and 1,000 liters from our hard work through Black Knife. So 5,735 liters of energy water for us to use.”

Legion-2 said, “At this rate, we will be able to construct a pool of energy water to swim in.”

Legion-6 thought of more practical uses of energy water and said, “With 5,200 liters, we won’t lack energy water until we reach the peak of rank 5.”

Legion-7 also suggested another use. He said, “We can also afford to help our slaves to grow stronger.”

Legion-1 agreed. “That’s true. The stronger they become. The better for us. Of course, we need to grow stronger too so that their strength won’t backfire on us.”

In terms of growing stronger, they have made a lot of progress. Apart from the energy water that they have acquired, they have also met the advancement requirements of the pathway of slavery by enslaving Silver Mirror and the advancement requirements of the pathway of killing by killing three godclads from the Ivory family.

The rank 2 advancement requirement of the pathway of killing was for them to kill three people. It didn’t matter if those three people were godclads or not. As long as those three died at their hands, their divine flesh would be satisfied.

The rank 3 advancement requirement increased in difficulty. They have to kill three people, but those three have to be godclads. It is the same quantity but higher quality.

The pathway of slavery is the same. Their slavery target was increased in terms of difficulty.

They didn’t know the difficulty of the pathway of slavery because Sheckel didn’t tell them. But even though they didn’t know it, they directly blew the advancement requirement by enslaving a rank 4 godclad.

Now all they need is the divine flesh of the two pathways for them to advance to rank 3 in them. These two divine flesh were part of what they raised from the lamp bearers’ base. So they are already waiting for them at their new house.

As for their other two pathways, they will know what the advancement requirement is when they go to their new house to practice.

Legion-3 said, “It sure is good to be free and not have to hide, but Sheckel will be missed.”

Legion-5 chuckled and said, “Stop lying. She won’t be missed.”

That got every clone laughing.

Sheckel won’t be missed, but they admire the way she died. Even they won’t want to die like her. But then again, they won’t willingly walk into death when they could have easily escaped.

Legion-8 said something interesting about her death. He said, “If what we got from Black Knife’s mind about her mutated form is correct, then that might be the form of the god of justice. It would also explain why the godclads of the pathway of justice are called lamp bearers.”
