Chapter Thirty The Sad Past

After listening to the conversation between Shep and Xu Lingtian without saying a word, he knew very well that Shep's second class was not just about telling him the history of Crow Ridge.

In fact, it was more like a battle, a battle at the negotiating table - Shep was teaching him how to control the opportunity to win.

When Shep pushed the wrinkled note back to the alchemist, a comprehension smile appeared on the corner of Rega's mouth.

Xu Lingtian was stationed in the distance like a sculpture, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "I really can't do anything to you, but why do you think I have the Moon Demon Grass?"

This sentence is tantamount to admitting that you do have Moon Demon Grass, but unless you say it in person, you will still be unable to exchange interests.

Shep frowned slightly and said with fear: "Do you want to hear the truth or lies? Lies are very nice, and truth will hurt people."

"truth."

Xu Lingtian said without hesitation: "For such an important thing, I would rather you hurt me than make a wrong decision by myself."

Shep nodded. "Rumor is that when you were removed from the War Bear Claw Guild, you took away a full ten carriages with the potion materials."

"Three."

Xu Lingtian shook his head. "In fact, one of them is equipped with daily necessities, and many of them are gifts that Fengxue Kingdom trusts me to practice. If you think the Moon Demon Grass is in it, then you are very wrong - is this what you call hurtful truth?"

"Of course not."

Shep paused for a moment and cleared his throat: "After leaving the Fengxue Kingdom, you settled in Twilight Village and met a young and beautiful girl..."

Xu Lingtian's body shook suddenly, and his face immediately twisted in pain. His shriveled chest rose and fell under the wide brown cloak, as if he couldn't breathe. His cracked lips trembled for several times before finally sighing slowly: "Yin Lisa..."

Seeing Xu Lingtian so excited, Lei Jia really made a cold sweat for him. The name of a woman alone almost killed this grandmaster-level alchemist. It can be imagined that his miserable situation today was probably because of this woman.

Shep said softly: "You are ten years older than her, but you are truly in love. Although you were removed from the War Bear Claw Guild, your years of alchemist qualifications have already made you very rich, so Yin Lisa's family did not object, and you held a grand wedding as you wish. By the way, all the wines for that wedding were provided by me, and your wife is indeed very beautiful."

Xu Lingtian's dry eyes were filled with tears at this moment, "That was my best time..."

"Yes, the wonderful time lasted only half a year, and Yin Lisa suffered from a strange disease. As an alchemist, you can almost cure all the difficult and complicated diseases in the world, but you just can't cure your lover." Shep shook his head sighed.

"Don't talk anymore!"

Xu Lingtian's spirit seemed to have reached the verge of collapse. He raised his voice angrily, "These things have nothing to do with the Moon Demon Grass!"

Shep ignored it and continued to say to himself: "Yin Lisa is dead. The villagers of Twilight Village held a grand funeral for her. At the moment of being buried, you suddenly pushed everyone away madly, picked up her body from the coffin and ran back home. No one could dissuade you."

"Don't talk anymore!"

Xu Lingtian's clenched fists made a creaking sound, and his pale face also turned blue with excessive anger.

"The villagers all think that you are too sad and can wake up in time. However, after the third day, you opened the door and helped Yin Lisa out."

Shep's tone became harsh: "You resurrected your wife by an evil means."

"Don't talk anymore!"

Xu Lingtian stood up and smashed his fists hard on the table. Lei Jia clearly heard the sound of his bones breaking.

Xu Lingtian didn't care about his fingers at all. He was almost begging Shep: "No...Don't say anything more..."

It's not enough, he must personally admit that there is the Moon Demon Grass!

Shep pursed his lips and continued, "But you never expected that the wife after resurrection was very different from before. She had no heartbeat, no pulse, and had no appetite for any food. Although she could walk and talk, her body still rotted and smelly day by day like a corpse. You posted a reward through the tavern to collect all the delicious food on the Four Kings Continent, but in the end you found that what Yin Lisa really wanted to eat was human flesh. And you satisfied her."

Xu Lingtian sighed in despair, his body collapsed on the seat little by little like a rag soaked in water, his fingers covered in blood kept trembling. "I love her, you don't understand..."

"You spent all your money and bought corpses all over the world, for the sake of studying the stability of new agents, but in fact, you are feeding your wife. But Yin Lisa's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and your money is getting less and less. She began to dig the graves and steal the corpses... until she was discovered and caught by the night watchman. I don't know much about the rest."

Speaking of this, Shep stopped.

Now, there is no need to hide anything. Xu Lingtian smiled miserably, "Yes, they nailed her into the coffin and buried her again. When I arrived, I could still hear heart-wrenching shouts from the ground. I begged for mercy from house to house, especially to beg those families who had eaten their relatives' bodies by her. I hope they could be merciful and merciless. I would like to give out all my things just to get Yin Lisa's freedom. I promise to take her far away and never go back to the dusk..."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But they ruthlessly rejected me. Yin Lisa howled underground for ten days, and then she disappeared completely. I was forbidden to enter the cemetery, and even the request to offer her a bouquet of flowers was not allowed."

Rega saw the deepest hatred in Xu Lingtian's eyes, bloody, violent and clear, like a wound that could never heal.

Xu Lingtian gradually calmed down and said coldly to Shep: "You deliberately took out this past and hurt me, your purpose has been achieved. But you still can't be sure that I have the Moon Demon Grass. If this is your sincerity to your old client, then I can only get up and say goodbye. As for the future potion, I'm afraid I'll forgive me for being incompetent." As he said that, he was about to stand up.

"How did you maintain her appearance after Yin Lisa is resurrected?" Shep asked suddenly.

Xu Lingtian's face changed, "We're over here. Goodbye, Shep. Guy, please help me open the door."

Rega sympathized with the Alchemist's unfortunate experience, but was indifferent to his request and just stood coldly.

Shep said to Xu Lingtian urgently: "As a master-level alchemist, you should know the role of the Moon Demon Grass best. It is the essence of the demon clan and the essence of the moon. Many people only notice that it can break the effect of the Holy Light Magic, but they ignore another point at the same time. It can delay the decay of the corpse! And you can't not know this!"

Xu Lingtian looked at Shep with a strange look, and after a long silence, he spoke: "What puzzles me is that a small tavern owner like you can actually know so much..."

"We all have secrets." Shep said calmly.

Xu Lingtian sat back in his seat and said with a gloomy face: "You guessed that, I do have the Moon Demon Grass."

It takes a lot of risk to admit this, but since Shep has already said it so bluntly, it doesn't make sense to hide it any longer.

Shep let out a gentle breath, tried hard to suppress the desire in his heart, and said calmly: "Great. I will give you the one who can help you, and give me the Moon Demon Grass."

"This is not a transaction of one hand in exchange for money."

Xu Lingtian shook his head and said, "At least I have to see the person you mentioned first, and then I will hand over the Moon Demon Grass to you after he helps me complete the task I asked."

"That requirement is not excessive considering your identity and the value of the Moon Demon Grass." Shep said.

"Then when will I see the person you are looking for for me?"

"In fact, you've seen it." Shep nodded at Reganu.

"he?"

Xu Lingtian's gray pupils instantly shrank, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty, isn't he your friend? All my tasks are extremely life-threatening. In the past three years, seven or eight powerful fighters have all died from..." He frowned and did not continue.

In fact, when he saw Shep's note, Rega vaguely felt that the person Shep was talking about was himself, so he didn't feel surprised at this time. Moreover, he was experiencing death almost every day.

The only thing that worries him was that after his fighting spirit was defeated by the witch A Xing, he had not recovered yet. In addition to his physical injuries, he was afraid that he would not be able to perform the task, so he lost Shep's people.

Shep's face restored the businessman's cunning and philanthropy, "Alchemist, if my guy can't complete your mission, you don't have to give me the Moon Demon Grass, what else can you lose?"

Xu Lingtian thought about it for a moment, then looked at the calm Lei Jia, and finally nodded. "Okay, since even Boss Shep is so smart, what can I lose? Lei Jia, if you agree, go back to Twilight Village with me. I have a few tasks in my hand to need your help."

Rega walked up to Shep and whispered: "I don't have weapons, I even have fighting spirit..."

Xu Lingtian asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

"No, no!"

Shep smiled and said to Xu Lingtian: "My guy is injured. I want to ask you for some special recovery potion, but I'm embarrassed to speak."

"This is no problem. At that time, I will naturally tailor his physical condition to him." Xu Lingtian promised.

Shep turned around and walked into the bar, took out a heavy axe with both hands. Rega recognized at a glance that this was the axe used by Dirk.

"For weapons, use this expensive mountain-piercing axe to support the scene first."

"……don't want."

Rega glanced at his mouth in disgust.
