The original plan was to buy it.
But when they realized they couldn't purchase it, they chose to have Little You steal it, while Black Thorn and others disguised themselves as merchants for cover.
For the original inhabitants, the Book of Lords was of no use whatsoever.
Like a broken book that couldn't be opened, it was utterly unusable.
Thus, they never thought this matter would escalate into something serious.
But now that Black Thorn is seriously injured and the merchants and Bound Spirit Guardians with him are dead, Fang Hao is also somewhat surprised.
"What happened?" Fang Hao sat down nearby and asked sternly.
Taking a deep breath, Little You continued, "They must have been using the Book of Lords as bait, knowing someone would come for it and had set a trap in advance. In the end, I could only flee with Black Thorn."
With this explanation, the meaning became clear to him.
The Undead had set a trap in advance, waiting for 'Cleolando' to return for the Book of Lords.
