Chapter 219: You Are The Pride Of The Su

“There is only one exit. And the way it changes depends on the behaviour or attitude of the person who took it.
“This part was indeed not a lie.
“The grave robber happened to be a middle-ranking member of the Sandstorm Bandits. He happened to be drunk and told everyone about this news. And someone from the Dragon Lich Sect happened to be sitting near him. “Therefore, the Dragon Lich Sect’s leader, Blinken, naturally learned of this
news.
“However, the information he received had been tweaked. Somehow, the grave robber confused Bright Sandalwood King and the Ancient Giant Dragon Tomb. That was so strange.
“However, you know very well what the Tomb of a Giant Dragon means to the people of the Dragon Lich Sect.
“And in order to make the cunning Blinken believe this, you did not hesitate to do everything in your power, letting the Sandstorm Bandits put on a good show of internal strife as they fought to control the ‘dragon tomb.’
“The two groups of Sandstorm Bandits fought all the way from Condor City to the Da Long Lake.
“One of them even disguised as disciples of the Order of Calamity and fought with their brothers.
“Now, we all know that the internal strife in the Sandstorm Bandits was fake.
“And you could have made it more realistic.
“However, when one of them had a conflict with the Jango tribe, my partner Lumiåre accidentally intervened, causing you to lose a lot of men.
“Even if you had a lot of influence in the bandit gang, it would be difficult to make them continue with this charade.
“After that, the Sandstorm Bandits completely withdrew from the rainforest and never appeared again.
“Fortunately, your goal has been achieved.
“You just want to provoke Blinken and give him a sense of crisis that the
dragon’s tomb has been discovered by others so that he can’t help but speed up his actions of entering the Bright Sandalwood King’s tomb.
For you, as long as you can shift Blinken’s attention to the rainforest, you will have succeeded in a sense.
“Not to mention that Blinken had indeed entered the tomb. “When I arrived, I found a plane lock at the entrance.
“At first, I thought it was Blinken who did it. “But now, I realized that this lock was actually your handiwork, right?”
When Yu Lian heard this, he finally became serious.
“Hehehe! Stop it, Matthew. You can’t joke like this. I don’t have the ability to set up such a lock. Besides, what good would it do for me to lure Blinken to my ancestor’s tomb?”
Matthew smiled. “It’s just business.
“When I was still in the rainforest, I heard from an unreliable friend of mine that Blinken was a very capable person. He was stationed in the desert, but he could manage the industries of the Dragon Lich Sect in a few cities by the shore.
“I guess the expansion of the Dragon Lich Sect’s casino in the Gold Coast has seriously affected your business, right?
He stole your gamblers, signed your prostitutes, and even did better than you in other semi-legitimate industries. Of course, this is not your fault. He is a quasi-legendary mage, so he should be better than most people.”
Hearing this, Yu Lian was silent for a while, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
Matthew secretly raised his guard.
But he still said, “Of course, I’m not here to denounce you. Strictly speaking, I almost saw through your scheme, and you didn’t use me to do anything.
“I’m just curious. How did you convince Blinken that the Bright Sandalwood King’s tomb was the tomb of a dragon?
“How did you control the secret door and the plane lock at the bottom of the Da Long Lake?
“When the three of us entered Bright Sandalwood King’s tomb, why didn’t you do anything to harm us?”
He looked at Yu Lian’s expression.
Matthew could basically conclude that his speculation was true.
The reason why he did not immediately fall out with Yu Lian was also because of the last condition.
The other party probably had the switch to control the secret door, but he chose to let Matthew’s group go.
This was the key reason why both sides could still sit here and talk.
“Alright, Matthew, you’re indeed the pride of the Su. You’ve connected all these clues together.”
Yu Lian said with a faint smile,
“If you swear that you will only be my friend and not my enemy, I will tell you everything you want to know.”
Matthew thought for a moment and finally shook his head.
“Whether or not we can continue to be friends doesn’t just depend on me. It also depends on you.”
“Then I can only answer one question.” Yu Lian asked slyly, “Among the three questions you asked just now, which one do you want to know the most?”
Matthew said without hesitation,
“The first one!”
Yu Lian took out a cigar and leisurely lit it. He took a deep puff and then said, “Who said that there couldn’t be other tombs under Bright Sandalwood King’s tomb?
“It’s really difficult to fool you mages, so I can only tell you the truth.
“When the Bright Sandalwood king built his tomb back then, he dug out half of the giant dragon’s tomb and rebuilt his own grave.
“If Blinken was lucky enough, he might really be able to ascend to a dragon lich there!”
