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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdetect the sect leader'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 your verbal promise alone. You need to give me some kind of benefit as a deposit or
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdown 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?”
