Chapter 69: Gambling

the streets, raging fires burned everywhere. Countless buildings were destroyed, and people ran in panic.Some terrified onlookers involuntarily clasped their hands together and prayed."Shadow Master,...Johnny could tell the old man was wary, so he hurried forward and said, "Don't worry, we're good people. We just had to come here for some things."

What's up

The gravedigger stared at Johnny curiously, for some reason, he felt a sense of kinship.

"We are here...here..."

Johnny hesitated whether or not to tell them their purpose.

After all, even if I said it, this old man probably wouldn't understand.

He's just an ordinary human, how could he know about things related to demons

Johnny looked at Lin Ye and asked for his opinion.

Lin also smiled and took over the conversation, saying, “We came here following a legend. Have you heard any legends, sir”

The Gravekeeper chuckled, "I don't have any legends here, but memories I have plenty of those."

Lin also smiled, but didn't answer. Instead, he said to himself: "People often say that the West is a place full of legends. These bizarre tales help people explain things that are too terrifying and unbelievable. One such legend is...the Ghost Knight!"

As soon as his voice fell.

Johnny was startled and looked at Lin Ye in confusion, wondering why he suddenly brought this up.

Upon hearing the four words "Grim Knight," the gravedigger's face instantly changed, his eyes narrowing warily at Lin Ye.

He clenched his grip on the shovel.

Lin also clearly saw the change in the gravedigger's expression.

But he didn't care, and continued, “The magic of this legend lies in the fact that every generation will have one such soul, a cursed spirit wandering the world. The names of these people are all written in the Devil’s contract.”

Johnny listened very attentively.

He was just learning about these things for the first time.

"I remember a long time ago, an evil knight was sent to a village to retrieve a contract that sealed countless wicked souls."

But this contract has infinite power.

This wraith knight knew this contract absolutely couldn't fall into the hands of a devil, so he did something no other wraith knight had ever done.

What's up

Johnny listened attentively, and upon seeing Lin present here, he paused involuntarily and asked.

You did a good job.

Lin also cast an approving glance at Johnny.

This guy is a total straight man.

He...escaped from the clutches of this demon.

Lin also narrated the story slowly.

The gravedigger's face was ashen.

Meanwhile, the brain was racing.

Is this Mephistopheles

But there was no feeling of demonic revulsion about him.

So, who exactly is he

How would you know such an ancient story

Looking at it, it's unlikely to be from that era.

The gravedigger stared at Lin Ye, his eyes full of suspicion.

Lin Ye wasn't bothered at all.

He walked up to the gravedigger and said with a smile, "Many times, the legends that circulate in the world are false."

The gravedigger nodded, replying: "Friend, this tale sounds like a fabrication. It's probably just a story made up by someone bored."

Lin also smiled, but didn't answer. He stared intently at the grave keeper.

But sometimes, some legends are true.

"You said I was right, didn't you, old man"

The gravedigger's face lost its smile, leaving only coldness as he said, "I'm sorry, friend. I'm just a gravekeeper, not an archaeologist."

"Whether what you say is legend or truth, I have no idea."

"Besides, I only have coffins buried here, no legends. If you're only looking for legends, I suggest the library is a more suitable place."

"Is that so"

Lin also grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, and said with a smile: "That old gentleman wouldn't mind if I took a look, would he"

The gravedigger's face was growing impatient as he began to shoo them away: "This is the resting place of the dead, best not to wander around or make a fuss."

Lin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't move around. I'll just stand here and look!"

"What"

The gravedigger was taken aback for a moment, a little slow to react.

Wait a minute!

I shouldn't be too old to have hallucinations yet.

Just now this fellow said he was standing here looking

Was he joking

"Thinking about this, the gravedigger shook his head and smiled: "Young man, are you out here late just to cheer up an old man like me"

"How do I find it from here"

"Could it be that what you're looking for will just fly out on its own"

He secretly clenched the iron shovel in his hand.

Although he didn't believe Lin Ye's words, he was still on guard.

Even Johnny, standing beside them, was dumbfounded by what Lin had said.

If you stand still, how can you find it

Could he possibly make the contract fly out on its own

He leaned close to Lin Ye's ear and whispered, "Hey, Lin Ye, don't joke around. How are you going to find anything standing here"

If you can't, we can leave first and look for it slowly later.

Lin smiled faintly and didn't answer directly.

... but stared straight at the gravedigger.

"How about a wager, old man"

The gravedigger felt that something was amiss.

But he didn't believe that this young man in front of him could do it without moving, so he found the contract.

He was very confident in the place where he had hidden himself.

Only I know about that place.

Otherwise, Mephisto would have found out long ago.

The gravedigger smiled. "You young people are so interesting, coming out at night just to gamble with me What's your wager"

Lin also laughed and said, "It's very simple."

"If I find it, will you let us leave safely"

If we can't find it, we are willing to leave behind ten gold bars. How about that

The gravedigger pondered for a moment, feeling that no matter how he gambled, he seemed destined to win.

Because he didn't believe this young man in front of him could find the location where he hid the contract without moving.

He smiled: "Young man, don't blame me old geezer for not stating it beforehand."

"You're betting against me, and you have a very high chance of losing. Are you sure You can still back out now."

Lin shook her head, very confident: "No need, only ten gold bars."

Lost No big deal, just conjure up some magic then.

For him, creating things out of thin air was already second nature.

The gravedigger burst out laughing. "Then I shall refuse politely," he said.

Lin also smiled.

The next moment, a darkness rose beneath his feet.

Darkness spread rapidly, engulfing the entire cemetery in an instant, with Rin at its center.

Even the shovels in the hands of the gravekeepers were covered in darkness.

Johnny and the Tombkeeper, upon seeing this, couldn't help but be shocked. Their bodies instinctively assumed defensive postures.

Before they could figure out what was happening.

Then I saw it falling from under the gravedigger's feet.

A quaint, aged scroll floated up from the water-like darkness.

Like an obedient child, it fluttered over and landed in Lin Ye's hand.

Gravekeeper: (ΩДΩ)??!!!

Johnny: (⊙_⊙) !!!dn't intend to do it himself. He planned to take the opportunity to harvest points.If he makes a move now, how will the mission be completedLin patted Bruce Banner on the shoulder, his face serious. "...
