Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 524 - 231: A Huge Windfall After Several Days

Chapter 524: Chapter 231: A Huge Windfall After Several Days

While Lear was still digesting the information, more intelligence continued to flash before him—

[The Bloodstained Coffin Nail is hidden within the Treasure about to be auctioned at the Dark Auction House—inside the Supreme Staff. The followers of the Divine Abomination have received guidance from it, knowing its approximate location, but are not clear on where it is exactly hidden.]

[After the dark auction ends, if the other party fails to obtain the Bloodstained Coffin Nail, they will activate a pre-arranged Magic Array in Molten Iron City, causing the mountains to shatter and creating a bloodbath as a sacrifice, thus invoking the Bloodstained Coffin Nail.]

After reading the remaining intelligence, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He walked slowly upstairs and entered the room according to the door plate number.

The troglodyte stood guarding the door like a servant.

Lear ignored him, closed the door, and moved to the window, gazing out at the distance through the open window.

Looking at the dim Underworld, his eyes flickered.

He never thought he would suddenly receive such explosive information.

The situation had become more complex all of a sudden.

The Gray Dwarves wanted to backstab their own, while the Divine Abomination Believers wanted to release the Divine Abomination...

Some people actually believe in such things, seemingly wishing the world to end.

Headache.

And what’s even more outrageous is that this thing is circulating outside?

And it’s on auction?!

And those Gray Dwarves who want to score big and leave—it’s uncertain if they’ll survive with these things.

He couldn’t imagine, once the Gray Dwarves make a sneaky exit, what furious actions the Divine Abomination Believers might take!! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The other party could really demolish the entire city...

Moreover, even if the Gray Dwarves manage to flee, could they escape their pursuit?

He shook his head, realizing that this wasn’t something he should worry about.

The problem now was... how to profit from this?

He was very interested in the Bloodstained Coffin Nail.

Imbued with Divine Abomination Origin Power?

How ferocious could it be?

The Divine Abomination is a creature of horror born from the combined power of the Ancient God and the Creator God, which even the Creator God couldn’t kill, only seal in the Underworld.

The risks were also considerable in trying to obtain this thing; he needed to plan carefully...

After calming his emotions, he fell into deep thought.

Next, he needed to consider how to proceed.

For the next few days, Lear kept a low profile.

He let the troglodyte lead the way, quietly wandering around the city, and soon familiarized himself with most areas of Molten Iron City.

One could tell from the City Guards that the Gray Dwarves were continually withdrawing.

But their actions surprised no one; the world was on the verge of collapse, who would want to stay here to await death?

Anyone with a bit of power had already prepared an escape route.

No one associated the Gray Dwarves’ actions with a stab in the back.

As time passed, the number of outsiders entering Molten Iron City increased significantly, including all kinds of strange and peculiar races.

Most were tough and strong, not a weakling among them.

Ordinary people wouldn’t dare venture into such turbulent waters now.

In a few days, it was December 25th, and once again, new intelligence appeared.

But this time, there was no pleasant surprise of another 4-star intelligence for Lear; the first four pieces of intelligence were of low value, except for the last 3-star intelligence, which caught his eye.

[5. The Dragon-Hunting Crossbows placed on the southern city wall of Molten Iron City—due to the hurried withdrawal of the Gray Dwarves, after being dismantled and placed in a warehouse under the city wall, they were not moved, totaling fifty in number. Due to chaos, no one has paid attention, and it will be seven days before anyone notices their whereabouts.]

Having been searching for opportunities these few days, he didn’t expect the intelligence to directly point out a path.

A full seven days, on January 2nd, after the dark auction ends, will anyone discover it.

There’s still room to maneuver.

He immediately went on a reconnaissance, spending a day to figure out the exact situation of the southern city wall and locate the warehouse.

Upon his return, Lear calculated quietly that he now had three pieces of intelligence in his control.

First, the target this time—the Lizard-man Demigod’s eyeball, which would be hidden in another neighborhood by the greedy Gray Dwarves.

This was the highest priority item, something he had to grab first.

Supported by intelligence, this was also the simplest and easiest.

Secondly... the Bloodstained Coffin Nail tinged with Divine Abomination Origin Power—a sheer look at the intelligence’s introduction showed how fierce it was.

Comparable to a Divine Artifact.

However, its existence inside the Supreme Staff made it more tricky.

When the time comes, perhaps he could seize it first at the auction.

If left to the Gray Dwarves’ plan, there would be no room for maneuver.

The third piece of intelligence was about the Gray Dwarves’ betrayal; knowing their moves in advance allowed him to make preparations.

Managed well, it could be quite profitable...

As for the recently obtained intelligence about the storage of heavy machinery, it was not that important, it didn’t affect the situation, just the icing on the cake.

Time passed quickly, and in the following days, Lear also obtained several kinds of Magic Plants from the trade market, all intended for planting in the Swamp to construct his envisioned Land of Death.

Finally, as the atmosphere in Furnace City grew more oppressive, December 30th arrived.

At 10 a.m., the dark auction officially commenced.

When Lear left the hotel, it was exactly nine-thirty, and at this moment the streets were already full of people.

Looking around, their Level was almost 14, 15.

Level 16s were too many to count, and even two Level 19s entered the auction hall silently.

All participants in the auction could feel the oppressive aura emanating from fellow attendees, each on high alert while maintaining utmost restraint.

The Dark Auction House was a square building built from massive stones, its exterior drenched with molten steel.
