When William expressed his eptance to such a crazy deal, Alfonso didn''t hesitate to get out the papers thatcked William''s signature on them. He pointed to where William should sign, and exined in rushed words what William shall do. And then everything about this cursed ce would belong to William.


    "You came quite prepared," even if a kid was sitting in front of Alfonso right now, even if an idiot sat there, they''d suspect something was wrong from Alfonso''s rash actions.


    "It''s just to save your time and mine, hahahaha! You are quite busy indeed, right?" Alfonso tried to find an excuse to give to William to cover up his clearly suspicious actions.


    "It''s alright," William took the papers, the brush and the pot of ink, and left his name there, "it''s mine now, right?"


    "Sure, here is the key through the protective array," Alfonso knew even without this orb and that array, no one would ever dare to set foot over there, "this array was established by the first owner of that ce. He made something that even an army of dark gold spirit masters, hundreds or even thousands of them, wouldn''t be able to barge inside the ce no matter how strong they were."


    "Nice dude indeed," William epted the orb, with a mysterious smile on his face. To him, he got such a greatnd and building, in the heart of the most bustling ce here, and one that was filled with lots of mysteries.


    William wanted to move away from here as fast as he could, go there and start exploring that mysterious ce. However, he still had a few things to do before that.


    "Do you want me to do it right here?"


    "Hold on, let''s go out there," Alfonso couldn''t believe he ended up fooling this kid. He wanted to get the deal done, so William wouldn''t run back and cry,ining about the scheme he just fell into.


    Butpleting the deal here was going to be a bad thing. The ce was already filled with customers, and their eyes and ears, their spirit senses were already focused on their table for a long time already.


    So, Alonso motioned with his head towards a direction. It was back behind the door of the worker zone here, the same ce he vanished inside while arranging things before for William.


    William simply followed him. He already gained a lot out of this trip. He got lots of spirit crystals, and and a building in it that was in the best spot in the fort.


    pàпdá-ň?νêι.сóМ Not to mention Thomas and four more gems like him yet to be delivered.


    William just had to tell Alfonso his way to control and kill Scarlet Bears. As for Thomas, thetter was still standing back at the table like a statue, not moving an inch, not showing a single expression over his face. It seemed to William that this dude got used to being sold from one master to another, as if he was a piece of wood or something.


    Behind that door was a wide ce that didn''tck in sizepared to the ce William and other customers sat in. yet it wasn''t all opened, as it got many room-sized parts lined partially with pieces of wood. Alfonso led the way towards a room like this, which got no one inside.


    Other rooms seemed to be the ces where the chiefs cooked the food, or ces designed to store the materials there. As for this one, it was empty of anyone or anything, just had a table and little seats around.


    The room wasn''t that spacious nor narrow, just enough to be used as a study room or something.


    "It''s safe here... There are more arrays here than what you ever saw before in your life," Alfonso''s eyes froze over William, "you can show me your technique, tell me how you did kill those bears."


    Alfonso took a stack of papers per William''s request, and thetter started to write and exin how to make the spears, how to use the guiding underground yellow river to control the bears. He even included a few tricks and tactics anyone could use to make sure he''d get the best out of this genius idea.


    He was generous in his exnation, hoping such information would find its way towards the ears of many formidable and capable spirit masters, not only here but at the entire world.


    He already left such intel back at the Long n. And now this knowledge had reached such a fort. This fort was on the path of many important and major trade routes. It was the perfect ce to spread such intel over.


    William wanted to arm humans up with this intel, enough to save lots of lives and bring tons of problems for the enemiester on.


    "And to test things out, here is a stack of a hundred spears," William already got himself lots of extra arrows and spears from the Long n battle.


    These were the ones that the spirit masters back there didn''t have time to use. William made sure to soak them with the aura of the yellow river and stored them inside his ring for all this time.


    And now he gave a few spears for Alfonso to test things out. After all, it wasn''t a rule to find the Scarlet Bears with the underground river. This only happened in case of big monster tides, something that wasn''t thatmon yet in this world.


    "Thanks," Alfonso epted the gift, "I''ll make sure to test things out. I heard of a ce filled with Scarlet Bears a few thousand kilometres from here. I''ll prepare a capable team and let them use these spears and test your theory out."


    "Fine," William didn''t even feel a speck of worry or pressure from his words. Alfonso made sure to say these words in a threatening way, as if all this proved to be out of William''s fantasy, then William was going to be in big trouble.
