Chapter 134: Watch him!**
Shen Ye froze.
Certainly, he had just seen a male singer burned to death.
—But there are still a lot of people on the stage.
Does this make him advance?
Lady Daisy continued:
"So...I'll go first to do some things, and I'll come back to look for you in the afternoon, and I'll take you to participate in a party."
She explained as she faced Shen Ye's confused gaze: "Many matters can't wait, we must start work immediately—we need manpower."
Got it.
Now the singing and dancing troupe needs someone like me.
So I was chosen by good luck and started working immediately.
...The Undead clan shouldn't be implementing 996, right.
Shen Ye said hesitantly: "Okay, ma'am, I'll wait for your news."
"Take this first. The streets are not safe lately, you should wear it with the rose badge on your chest."
Daisy took out a badge and seriously placed it in Shen Ye's hand.
This badge was different from the rose badge. It looked like a sharp fang or a beast's horn, and it emitted a faint gray light in Shen Ye's hand.
A glowing light appeared and gathered into small characters:
"Badge of the Pale Shadows."
"Only recognized people can wear this badge and enter the Magic Shadow Palace without any hindrance."
Shen Ye pinned the badge on his chest and said sincerely: "Thank you very much."
Lady Daisy said: "Hmm, go and get busy first, take this—I have to go out too—we'll meet here in the afternoon."
Daisy gave a money bag to Shen Ye.
"This—"
"Take it! Go and buy yourself two suitable suits and dress up a little."
"Yes, thank you very much, ma'am."
Shen Ye left the opera house and walked towards the place where he lived.
The giant Skeleton suddenly said:
"The rose pattern on the money bag represents the singing and dancing troupe, which is very elegant."
Shen Ye said, unable to help but laugh: "What's worth mentioning about this."
"The badge is really worth mentioning—it's the badge of the Pale Shadows, which is one of the three major forces in Evernight City, and Frieg who assassinated the Human Prince is one of the high-ranking officials of the Pale Shadows."
Shen Ye said: "I didn't kill Frieg...it shouldn't be exposed, right."
"Of course not."
The giant Skeleton warned: "But the Magic Shadow Palace is the residence of the Count, who is a powerful figure in the empire, and a fierce character not to be trifled with. If you meet him, it's best to be careful."
Shen Ye said: "Got it."
—I shouldn't meet such a big person.
After all, I have just joined the ‘Night Rose’ troupe, and I am just an unimportant character.
And now it seems I can do more things.
"Hey, I have now become a member of the troupe, I should have a clean identity."
Shen Ye said.
The giant Skeleton asked: "Then what? What do you want to say?"
"Can we buy the ritual materials for going to hell?"
"We can't! This art is too powerful, it must be strictly monitored, but...do you remember that I said that your mysterious whisper can be upgraded."
Shen Ye said: "Yes, you said that."
"To upgrade the mysterious whisper, you need some special nightmare crystals, and the various materials to make these crystals are very rare, and only I know them. If we buy these things now, there will be no suspicion."
"Why is there no suspicion?"
"Because the talent I have mastered is resurrecting the dead. Perhaps they will know through some historical events some of the requirements for upgrading the resurrection of the dead, but the mysterious whisper has almost never appeared in history, so no one knows."
"That's also true."
"Go, let's get the materials first, and help you complete the upgrade of the ‘Mysterious Whisper’!"
"How do we go?"
"The Grand Royal Auction House!"
A few minutes later.
Shen Ye arrived at the Grand Royal Auction House.
This was a Gothic bone building, somewhat similar to the cathedral in his past life. It looked dark and scary from the outside, but it was luxurious inside, and people were constantly flocking to it.
From Shen Ye's point of view—
"It's just a big shopping mall."
Shen Ye observed for a moment, followed the flow of people, entered the auction house door, and a waiter immediately came to ask him.
He explained his purpose and was invited to a separate room.
That zombie waiter asked: "Are you sure you need these materials?"
Shen Ye said: "Yes."
The zombie waiter said: "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go check if these materials are available." and closed the door and left.
Shen Ye said: "I feel that things are going too smoothly."
The giant Skeleton said: "Don't worry, I've added a wide range of those materials, and no one will be able to guess what we're doing. They'll just think that we might be holding a large summoning ritual."
"Summoning ritual? What does it do?"
"It's what is done before the start of a war—to give everyone some reward, and make everyone obey orders."
Got it.
Before a group fight, invite the brothers to eat first.
Shen Ye said in surprise: "Not bad, you've become smarter."
The giant Skeleton said slowly: "Hmph, I was almost exposed the last time I came, and now of course I must learn the lesson."
"Last time? What happened last time?"
"I bought upgrade materials for resurrecting the dead, and my identity was exposed, and I was seriously injured, and almost failed to escape."
If he hadn't said that it would have been better. After he said that, Shen Ye felt worried.
Just from the matter of hiding the name—
The more confident the giant Skeleton is, the more careful we must be.
A knock on the door came from outside.
Shen Ye said: "Please come in."
The door opened.
Two rows of Skeleton soldiers entered.
A short living corpse wearing a military uniform walked behind them with two demonic serpents from the depths wearing armor.
"Arrest him—huh? How can it be you, Mr. Baxter!"
The living corpse stopped for a moment.
Shen Ye said, waving to him: "Kevin? How did you come?"
The living corpse Kevin's gaze moved quickly, and fell on the two badges on Shen Ye's chest. His face changed slightly, and he immediately raised his hand and made a secret gesture.
As soon as this gesture came out, the two demonic serpents that were about to pounce forward immediately stopped.
The Skeleton soldiers who had raised their spears put their spears back.
Kevin said in a deep voice: "All of you, go out, I will talk to Mr. Baxter."
"Yes!"
All the soldiers withdrew.
The murderous atmosphere immediately dissipated.
Kevin walked to Shen Ye's side, looked at him, and asked: "Respected member of the ‘Night Rose’ troupe, dear Mr. Baxter, why are you collecting so many materials, are you going to hold a large summoning activity?"
Shen Ye asked: "I have just arrived in Evernight City, and I don't know the situation here—are large summoning activities not allowed?"
He took out a heavy small bag without changing his expression and stuffed it into Kevin's hand.
Kevin did not take it, but looked at him and continued to ask:
"Mr. Baxter, how did you get the badge of the Pale Shadows?"
Shen Ye said: "I was invited to go to the palace in the afternoon."
"Can I have a look at your badge?"
"Of course."
Shen Ye gave him the badge.
Kevin flipped the badge back and forth and said a mysterious spell.
This spell seemed to be a secret text, which Shen Ye did not understand at all.
In the sound of the spell, the badge released a more powerful gray shadow, then returned to normal after several breaths.
Kevin's expression became more confused.
He gave the badge to Shen Ye and said in a low voice:
"Since yesterday, large summoning activities are no longer allowed in Evernight City, Mr. Baxter, how do you not know?"
Damn giant Skeleton!
...Not right, I haven't heard of this at all.
The Veterans Guild did not remind me.
Lady Daisy only said "The situation is not safe lately, be careful."
There was no related publicity on the streets.
Could it be...
that they were watching me all the time?
Shen Ye cursed in his heart, but showed a sincere expression on his face:
"Kevin, you should know, I came to Evernight City by ghost train to look for work, and I was shattered to pieces by a Human Race cannon on the battlefield—what can I know?"
He pressed his hand on the money bag.
This time, Kevin took it.
"Mr. Baxter, I know your resume very well, so I also know that you can't be that wanted person."
Kevin sat opposite him and said seriously:
"And you are about to go to the palace!"
"—Don't make any more mess, otherwise it will have a great impact on your future."
Kevin held the money bag, and his tone became more sincere.
Shen Ye took the opportunity and said:
"But we who work in the arts sometimes need to find inspiration through different channels—is there no way to be lenient?"
Kevin looked at him and seemed hesitant to speak.
Shen Ye patted him on the shoulder and said warmly: "Brother Kevin, you also know what we do in this profession. When I become rich, you can come to the ‘Night Rose’ troupe to look for me anytime, and I will help you find inspiration to break through the skills!"
"—I won't charge any fees, until you are satisfied."
Kevin was moved and said: "I will break through almost next year, and I will really need to bother you at that time."
Shen Ye said, beating his chest: "No problem, come directly to me."
As he beat, he remembered every word Kevin had said before.
Wait—
Kevin mentioned the palace and mentioned the future, does he seem too familiar with these matters?
Then try saying another word.
Shen Ye said: "Brother Kevin, I'm going to the palace in the afternoon, do you want to go with me?"
"I'm already going."
"Huh?"
"I am responsible for accompanying the foreign delegation and the security work in the afternoon. We may meet at that time."
Shen Ye asked: "Is there anything I can help with?"
"There isn't...but at the right time, if you can praise the security situation of Evernight City..."
"If I have the chance, I will definitely praise."
"Okay, Mr. Baxter, you are a good vampire, I will consider you my friend."
Kevin said as he took Shen Ye's shopping list, tore it in half, and spread it on the table.
"The materials are divided into two parts, one part is bought here, and the other part is bought from the material store—this is less conspicuous, and I will talk to others about the other aspects."
"Thank you very much, Kevin."
"No need to thank me, I am also working with integrity—in fact, you are definitely not that Skeleton, and I know that that Skeleton actually wants to buy—"
Kevin suddenly fell silent.
But Shen Ye smiled and said: "Skeletons are all low-rank, right, with our identity, do we still need to deal with this kind of vile thing?"
Kevin lowered his eyes, shook his head, and said: "Mr. Baxter, not all Skeletons are low-rank. You must have read the law of Evernight, or the book of the gods of the Undead, so you should know—"
Shen Ye interrupted him: "Sorry, I haven't read much. If the Baxter family still had the money to provide for my education, I wouldn't have gone to the battlefield."
Kevin did not speak.
These words were correct.
This Baxter was so poor that he had to go to the battlefield, just to earn those few military salaries.
—The results of his investigation were like this.
As for why he has money now—
He has been selected for the ‘Night Rose’ troupe!
And he is about to perform in the palace!
How can this artist not have money?
That money bag just now was embroidered with the logo of the ‘Night Rose’ troupe!
Kevin finished his test, raised his head again, and saw Shen Ye carefully pinning the Pale Shadows badge next to the rose badge.
The two badges were shining.
They represented a promising future for this young vampire.
Kevin looked at him, got up, and said:
"The time is not early, I still have work to do, Mr. Baxter, we'll meet in the afternoon."
Shen Ye immediately got up, shook his hand, and said: "Brother, we'll meet in the afternoon."
Kevin smiled, turned, and walked out of the room.
He carefully closed the room door, took two squads of Skeleton soldiers and demonic serpents, and walked out of the auction house.
Kevin said in a low voice to his side:
"Find two good shadow killers and watch this singer carefully, don't let him run."
A reply came from the void: "Your orders."
