Chapter 1872 A Strange Map
The mention of the map piqued Jared's interest and curiosity.
Oh, wow... I didn't know such a map existed! Is it able to scan the environment like a radar or something?
“Could you please show me the map, Mr. Sullivan?” Jared asked.
Patrick nodded without any hesitation. “Sure thing!”
Since he had gone as far as telling Jared about the map, he was mentally prepared to show it to him.
While he was leading Jared to the back of the palace, the sect leader of Demon Sect simply sat there without saying
a word. Jared couldn't help but find it a little strange.
Why would the sect leader let a vice sect leader make all these important decisions? Does he not care at all?
Jared stole a glance at the sect leader while walking past him. However, apart from being unable to detect the sect
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtleader's aura, Jared didn't find anything strange about the sect leader at all.
Patrick led Jared into a secret room that was about one hundred square meters in size.
There was a highly detailed map drawn on one of its walls. The plants on the map looked so lifelike that one would
easily mistake the map for a satellite image of an area.
Upon closer inspection, Jared realized that the large map only covered the area within a radius of a few hundred
miles from Norham.
“This is the map you guys used to collect your resources?” Jared asked in confusion, as he didn't see anything
special about the map.
“That's right. Whenever a rare herb that is over a thousand years old appears, its location will be indicated on this
map,” Patrick replied with a nod.
“Hmm... How peculiar!” Jared tried touching the map with his fingers, but he couldn't find anything unusual about it
at all. “Wouldn't you guys get into conflicts with the Zagorski family while collecting resources? This is their territory,
after all.”
I don't understand this at all. Demon Sect is a really large sect, so it must've obtained a huge amount of resources.
How come no one has ever tried to stop them? The resources they're getting are extremely valuable and precious,
after all.
“We rarely get into conflicts because we're usually able to pinpoint the exact location of the resources and quickly
send our members to bring it back. The Zagorski family doesn't even know about it. Even if they did somehow hear
about the resources, it would all have reached us by then,” Patrick explained calmly.
Hmm... I suppose that explanation makes sense. Having this map here is no different from having a radar for rare
herbs, so there's no way the others would be able to compete against that!
“Regardless of how you guys obtain your resources, I can't just hand you the blood demon's physical body based on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour verbal promise alone. You need to give me some kind of benefit as a deposit or down payment,” Jared said.
“No problem. Based on our past experience, a huge amount of rare herbs will soon emerge. How about we give it
all to you, Mr. Chance?” Patrick asked.
Jared nodded. “Very well. I will hand the blood demon's body over to you guys if I deem the resources worthwhile.”
The only benefit I get out of the blood demon is using its body as a shield anyway. My main priority right now is to
rescue Josephine with Demon Sect's help!
Josephine had been held prisoner for a very long time, so Jared was getting incredibly anxious after several failed
attempts at rescuing her.
After leaving the secret room, Patrick summoned Jessica and had her stay with Jared for the time being.
The smile on Patrick's face vanished the moment Jared and Jessica left.
Suddenly, a man whose body was completely covered in a black robe stepped out of the shadows and asked
Patrick, “Do you really think he'll trust you and hand the blood demon's body over as promised?”
