CHAPTER 312: Conditions

"Isn't it incredible? Only the divinity of the Bone Staff can allow us to attain immortality while enjoying the wonders of youth!" Grand Magus Wolf, who had been alive for one hundred and seventy years, said proudly to Han Shuo after taking a deep breath of fresh air.

Han Shuo's eyes sparkled with light as he looked greedily at the bone staff in his hands. His heart was filled with surprise and joy as he muttered, "No wonder, no wonder I always felt that the bone staff would have other fantastic uses, I never thought it would actually have such a miraculous effect!"

Wolf seemed very pleased with Han Shuo's surprise. Looking only about twenty years old now, Wolf was filled with the elegance of a nobleman. He began to carefully trim his knife-like nails with a sharp knife that had suddenly appeared in his right hand.

While Han Shuo was still in the depths of his shock, Wolf had already finished trimming his nails and was happily examining his white hands in the moonlight. He exclaimed, "How many years has it been? Ever since I merged with the lich, my long and beautiful hands had disappeared. They were replaced by a pair of blade-like claws. Hmm, my beautiful hands have finally reappeared! No longer do I have to hide in the endless darkness, using a black cloak to cover a body that can't be seen!"

After fusing with the old lich, Wolf's body was not only filled with the stench of rotting corpses, but also resembled a cross between a human and a monster. Although Wolf had gained eternal life, he no longer dared to walk openly in public. Otherwise, even if the Church of Light didn't do anything, some adventurers who didn't know the truth would attack him, thinking he was an undead creature.

Han Shuo was as happy as Wolf. He studied the bone staff in his hands with interest, but could not find the source of the mysterious rejuvenation power. Nor did he know how to cast it. After hesitating for a while, Han Shuo looked at Wolf with a smile, "Perhaps you can tell me the secret of rejuvenation from this staff?"

Wolf smiled with his youthful face and shook his head at Han Shuo, "If you admit that you belong to our Calamity Church and come back to the Sacred Grounds with me. I will help you learn the true secrets of the Divine Bone Staff."

Han Shuo snorted derisively, then put the bone staff back into his space ring and said coldly, "I'm so young, so I don't need that kind of mysterious power for now. If you have nothing else, don't disturb my journey any further."

"All right then, please take care of yourself. I must return to the Sacred Grounds immediately and report on what has happened these past few days," Wolf smiled with a nod, then looked at Han Shuo one last time. He bowed slightly, as was the customary etiquette of the ancient nobility, and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Bryan. You are an incredible person, I think you must have received the favour of our God. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Wolf did not linger after saying this. He walked slowly into the darkness with a happy mood. After a while, when Han Shuo couldn't even detect a trace of Wolf's aura, he summoned the Earth Elite Zombie and made it spit out the six magic crystal cannons. Han Shuo continued to travel towards Brettel City, using the Yin Demons to survey his surroundings.

At noon on the second day, Han Shuo and a group of zombie warriors walked along a shady and winding path under the scorching sun. As he passed a clear river, Han Shuo couldn't help but pause for a moment as he gazed at the small river blocking his path.

There wasn't such a clean and clear river in the wet and dark other dimensions. Even though undead creatures like the zombie warriors had no fear of the corrosion of running water, this river didn't seem to be shallow. It wouldn't be easy for the zombie warriors to cross the river while pushing six magic crystal cannons.

Magic crystal cannons were made with many precious magical materials, and there were some that reacted very easily with water. Although Han Shuo did not know the theory behind the operation of the magic crystal cannons, he did have some common sense. He couldn't be sure if there would be any bad reactions if these six magic crystal cannons were placed in water.

The sunlight above his head was a little bright, and with the shade blocking some of it, long strange shadows were drawn on the ground. Han Shuo hesitated as he looked at the river that had appeared in front of him, then finally woke the Helen Tina who'd been sleeping for quite some time.

It had been almost two days since Han Shuo had knocked Helen Tina unconscious. In order to avoid the trouble that would arise after Helen Tina woke up, Han Shuo had simply ignored her. Her stomach reacted even before she was conscious after the restricting magical yuan had been removed from her body.

Gurgle...

Helen Tina's flat stomach suddenly let out a hungry moan. At first, the sound was very small, but as Helen Tina's bodily functions gradually recovered, the objection from her stomach became louder and louder.

It was then that Helen Tina slowly woke up. When she raised her head and saw Han Shuo smiling horribly, Helen Tina instinctively protected her body. She calmed down a bit and stared at Han Shuo coldly, "What else are you going to do?"

"I've already done everything that can be done, what's the point of protecting yourself now? I already tasted the wonders of your body when you were unconscious. My goodness, it really mesmerised me!" Han Shuo smiled wickedly as he thought about Helen Tina's never-ending ferocity earlier, then the damage the Helon Duchy had done to the people of Brettel City.

As he'd expected, the moment Han Shuo's lecherous laughter rang out, Helen Tina reacted as if she had been struck by lightning. She faded away completely with a pitiful look on her face. However, her pitiful and desperate look only lasted for a moment before she turned her hateful gaze on Han Shuo.

After being stared at by Helen Tina's cold eyes full of endless hatred, even someone with as strong a will as Han Shuo couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. It was as if a poisonous snake had silently approached the back of his neck, planning to strike the fatal blow at any moment.

After that, Helen Tina remained silent no matter what Han Shuo said. Ignoring her stomach's objections, she continued to stare at Han Shuo with a cold, vengeful gaze that made Han Shuo feel extremely uncomfortable.

After a while, Han Shuo was finally defeated. He waved his head as he felt his scalp prickle with numbness, "Damn it, I have no interest in a woman like you. I have to exchange you for a ransom of one million gold coins, I won't do anything to you just like that. Okay, I admit that I lied to you just now. Look, your six magic crystal cannons are right there. Tell me, are the magic crystal cannons afraid of water?

Helen Tina's expression of endless hatred softened slightly as Han Shuo finished speaking, but she still glared at him with suspicion. She finally let out a sigh and asked, "You really did nothing to me?"

"No shit, you have hands and feet now, I'm not tying you up, don't you know how to control yourself!" Han Shuo swore, then said softly, "However, with your slutty name out there, you're probably not a virgin anymore. You really might not be able to find anything."

Whap!

Helen Tina casually grabbed a handful of shattered rocks and threw them at Han Shuo. She glared at Han Shuo in anger and yelled, "All you shitty men are the same!"

The moment she said that, Helen Tina squeezed her legs with a bit of embarrassment. After checking with an unknown method, she actually showed a bit of happiness. Seeing Han Shuo turn around at a distance, a thought occurred to her and she quickly took out her magic staff to cast a high-level fire spell, 'Flame Disaster'.

Unfortunately for Helen Tina, she couldn't find any mental energy to use as she chanted the spell and waved the magic staff. She immediately looked at Han Shuo in shock, while her inner self was filled with terror. She screamed in desperate panic, "Evil, filthy Necromancer, what have you done to me?! Why don't I have any mental strength left?!

Han Shuo saw all of Helen Tina's actions behind his back through a Yin Demon. He turned around as if nothing had happened and smiled brilliantly "Don't waste your strength. Don't even think about casting a single spell before I set you free. hahaha, but don't worry. As long as your Phoenix Sister brings me one million gold coins, I will let you go unharmed, and you will be able to use your mental strength again".

Helen Tina was shocked the moment he said that. She was surprised by Han Shuo's all-encompassing ability. Helen Tina was a fire mage who wasn't weak at all. As far as she knew, suppressing mental power wasn't something normal people could do. Even mages at the level of Grand Magus would need the help of some magical scrolls or formations to curb the mental power of an Archmage.

She found it unbelievable that Han Shuo could have the amazing power of restraining mental energy at such a young age.

However, after her surprise, Helen Tina quickly thought of some of the people in her Helon Empire who had ulterior motives. She understood that if these people found out that she had been captured alive, they would simply jump at the chance to control the Duchy of Helon. There was no way they would spend a million gold coins to get her back. Even Duke Benedict of the Benson Duchy, who seemed to be after her like a madman, would probably only consider sending his army into the Helon Empire and seize the chance to make it his own.

"Just kill me, no one will come for me. Not a single person!" Helen Tina replied, shaking her head pitifully as she looked at Han Shuo in despair.
