Chapter 3873 Puppet Guards
“All right then, I’ll take you over there now, Mr. Chance.”
Dillon gave a nod.
“This airship…”
Jared knew that the time for the airship to take off was fast approaching.
“They’ll have to wait. After all, I’m the one calling the shots here!”
After Dillon finished speaking, he turned to an employee of Pathfinder Sect and said, “Don’t launch the airship, and wait for my return.”
“Understood, Mr. Sawyer!”
The employee nodded.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared felt a surge of relief in his heart. Indeed, the saying holds true that having more friends makes one’s journey easier.
If he hadn’t saved Moses’ daughter and if he didn’t have Moses’ token, Dillon wouldn’t have treated him this way.
Jared followed Dillon to the Pathfinder Sect branch located in Southedge City.
He took a glance and noticed that Pathfinder Sect was enveloped by an arcane array. Its defenses were extremely tight.
Moreover, there were two guards stationed at the door.
However, when Jared turned his gaze to the two guards, he was somewhat taken aback. He couldn’t sense the slightest hint of life from them. It was as if they were dead.
Yet, even though the two individuals were clearly before his eyes, he couldn’t possibly declare them as deceased.
As Jared was lost in confusion, the two guards suddenly blocked their way.
“Show your token, please!” a guard demanded, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Dillon pulled out his token before the eyes of the two guards. Upon seeing the token, the two guards finally stepped aside, clearing the path.
Jared was extremely curious, his face filled with confusion. “Mr. Sawyer, you frequent this place often. Do the disciples of the Pathfinder Sect branch not recognize their elders? Those two guards look like fools to me…”
Jared didn’t dare to say that the two guards looked as if they were dead. After all, they were disciples of Pathfinder Sect, and it would be somewhat impolite to make such a comment.
To his surprise, Dillon laughed and said, “Mr. Chance, do you perhaps find these two guards to be inhumane, devoid of life, almost like the dead?”
Hearing that, Jared finally nodded and said, “Yes, yes, you’re right. There’s just no sign of life.”
Dillon chuckled. “They’re just puppets. They don’t possess any semblance of human emotions!”
“Puppets?” Jared’s brows furrowed in an instant.
The creation of zombie puppets was typically the work of Demonic Cultivators. Only those who strayed from the righteous path would engage in such activities.
Upon seeing Jared’s expression, Dillon quickly clarified, “These two guards are puppets, not zombie puppets. Are you familiar with puppets constructed from various materials?”
As soon as Dillon spoke, Jared was instantly reminded of Holden. Back then, Holden had brought along numerous puppets, all of which they had crafted themselves.
“I am. Only skilled craftsmen can create puppets. I didn’t expect that Pathfinder Sect also had such individuals.”
Jared expressed his admiration.
“We don’t have such skilled craftsmen at Pathfinder Sect. These two puppet guards were purchased from the Olsen family. Since the Olsen family often buys materials for making puppets from us, we’ve become quite familiar with each other. That’s why they sold us these two puppets. You must know that all humans are subject to emotions and desires. Due to frequent incidents of guards acting out of self- interest, we at Pathfinder Sect decided to employ puppet guards. This way, even if I, as an elder, were to visit, I would have to abide by the rules,” Dillon explained.
Jared’s eyes lit up instantly. “Mr. Sawyer, are you saying that Pathfinder Sect has materials for puppet crafting?”
Observing Jared’s somewhat excited demeanor, Dillon, with a baffled expression, nodded and said, “Yes, indeed. We sell all sorts of resources and intelligence. We are involved in various businesses, and operating airships is just one of them.”
“That’s great. I’ll be buying some materials for puppet crafting later.”
Jared wanted to gather the materials for puppet crafting himself and then create it on his own.
As Pathfinder Sect had everything, it would be so much more convenient.
