Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 127

As the one who set up the formation, Riya was very clear that the formation would not last long to block the cracks.

And when she was in the crack, Riya didn’t really eliminate all magic beasts that exited there. She simply hunt those that she met on the way towards the pillar. But afterwards, she came out and didn’t explore the entire crack completely.

Based on the crude map that she had made, there were many intersections that she didn’t explore.

From these alone, Riya could guess that there might be more magic beasts.

But she had no intention to go there.

Especially when she was heading towards the second pillar through the first pillar’s clues and map route. Riya completely ignored the other paths and heads straight to the second pillar.

Afterwards, she left the crack.

So there were definitely still many magic beasts left there.

After some time, these magic beasts would surely come up again and at that time, the number of magic beasts on the surface was bound to increase.

"How about you, Old Master Black?" Samuel asked the other person who came.

The old man hesitated and then shook his head. "What you ask is a bit too much, Mr. Samuel. I’m afraid that I can’t accept it."

"Is that so?" Samuel arched his eyebrows. "Asking for half of the resources while you don’t have to do anything, is it too much?"

Half?

Riya blinked her eyes. No wonder these people were unwilling to agree. They were all businessman who had a lot of resources before the earthquake happened. So many resources were handed over just like that?

It would be a miracle if they agreed.

But at the same time, if they didn’t have the ability to take their resources back, this proposal was already pretty good.

They didn’t have to do anything but to provide the information about the location of the resources and so on while Samuel would be the one to take it and face the risk of the magic beasts.

It was just that these magic beasts were clearly not Samuel’s opponents…

It was very likely that most of these magic beasts would be killed instantly just like how Riya killed countless magic beasts instantly after encountering them. Unless there were stronger magic beasts, it was hard to make them exert their real abilities to the fullest.

"Did Senior Samuel gather a lot of resources this way?" Riya asked.

"Not really. For some areas nearby, there’s no negotiation but take them directly because the buildings have already collapsed. There’s no point in asking anyone," Amelia explained slowly. "But for the areas that are further away, it would take too much time to identify whether the warehouse has something inside or not."

There were many warehouse buildings at the edge of the city and Samuel clearly had no time to check them all one by one. It would be more convenient for him to ask the owner for the pass key and took the resources while sharing it with the family who owned it.

Of course, this practice was not necessary.

If Samuel really wanted to, he could easily take them all by force.

"I see." Riya nodded.
