I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 504 On the Road (6)

Of course she knows what kind of organization this is. Like the Shadows that once ran rampant in the mainland, the Night Dancers are also a snobbish and huge killer organization.

However, because of the existence of the shadow, they can only exist in a very low-key manner in the southern continent.

However, during the civil strife in the Mercenary Kingdom, many of the Shadow cadres died unexpectedly or in wars, so this gave the Dark Night Dancers an opportunity to rise. In less than three months, their snobbery had spread throughout the Southern Continent.

, and is rapidly extending to the north.

And now they are exchanging their secret snobbery for themselves, can Edward agree? Thinking of this, Alma couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on her forehead. She has been betrayed too many times.

This time she also began to vaguely feel that she might be betrayed again. After all, no one could resist such a huge temptation.

A top killer organization that can be dispatched at will. Having this is like having the power to kill ordinary people.

But it is obviously impossible to run now. The injuries on her body are not healed. Even if she is healed, she can be completely ignored in front of the sword master and the great magician, not to mention there are several others around.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were watching his every move.

Suddenly, Alma felt as if she was a lamb to be slaughtered, and could only let others do as they pleased.

At this moment, she had already noticed that Edward was looking at her up and down with hesitant eyes. It seemed that he might really be moved.

When she thought that she would be betrayed again, Alma looked a little helpless and closed her eyes.

"I am very surprised and somewhat honored to be respected by the Night Dancer." Edward's words made Alma feel cold in her hands and feet, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

But just when the Night Dancer showed joy and was about to take action, Edward waved his hand to show that he had not finished speaking. The other party was obviously unhappy, but they were not bold enough to dare to attack the sword master.

"But I'm afraid I can't do this deal." Edward said slowly with a faint smile.

"What did you say!" Those Night Dancers who were a little proud just now were almost dumbfounded. They could hardly believe what their ears heard.

On the contrary, Alma's face turned red again. She vaguely felt that the two people beside her who were not familiar with her might protect her. Now her face was full of surprise.

and a look of surprise.

"You, you, as the number one swordsman of the Mercenary Kingdom, you actually go back on your word." Perhaps because of Edward's 180-degree way of speaking, the man who took the lead of the Night Dancer actually held it in for a long time.

Only then could I choke out a whole sentence.

"Haha, it seems that I have never said the conditions for my promise to you from beginning to end." Edward still had a faint smile when he spoke, but now to those of the Night Dancers, this smile looked like a devil's smile.

But when he said this, Edward suddenly changed the topic and his tone became tougher: "And you made two mistakes.

First, the Philosopher's Stone is originally ours. No matter who steals it in the end, I will get it back even if the continent is turned upside down.

Second, this young lady is just traveling with us, and she has her own freedom.

I have no right to use her as a bargaining chip.

So I will never do this business." "You..." At this time, the man taking the lead of the Dark Night Dancer may have been so angry for the first time, and his eyes were almost red due to congestion.

If the person talking to him was an ordinary person, he would probably be dead by now, but the person in front of him was definitely not easy to mess with.

And what Edward said was not wrong. He did indeed say from the beginning to the end that he would make a deal with Alma.

However, when he thought about it later, he discovered the flaw in Edward's words.

"Okay, this is what you said.

That girl is just traveling with you, right?" The man sneered, and then glared at Alma fiercely.

"That's right.

That's what I said." Edward seemed not to realize the meaning of the man's words and replied smoothly.

"Then in that case, we will take the girl back to the Rogue Guild according to the wanted list. You should not interfere with our affairs.

Anyway, she and you are not on the same page, so you shouldn't have to hinder us for her." After hearing Edward's words, the man's voice immediately took on a proud tone.

At this time, Alma's face became ugly again. The only thing she could do now was to look at Edward with pleading eyes, hoping that he would not hand her over.

If he fell into the hands of those people, he might not even have a chance to die.

"Of course, you know I'm just a mercenary.

I won't do anything without money." Edward said with a smile and turned sideways, letting out Alma who had been hiding behind him.

Although they didn't know why Edward became so talkative all of a sudden, everyone in the Night Dancers was also a little puzzled.

But now they can't control that much.

Now that Edward has said it to death, there is no need to worry about him interfering again.

No matter what the girl in front of me knows, as long as she completes this task, it is considered a great achievement in the organization.

At this moment, Alma's spirit had almost completely collapsed. She never dreamed that things would end like this.

But just as the leading men in black were approaching her, she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Edward's last sentence sounds strange.

And, and..." At this moment, Alma suddenly understood in her heart.

"Wait a minute!" Just when the hand of the man walking in front was about to touch her, Alma suddenly shouted.

Perhaps he didn't expect her move, so the man was also slightly surprised.

Then he was a little surprised to see Alma struggling to get up from the ground as fast as she could.

"Edward Trenteau.

I now hire you to protect my safety." Completely ignoring the night dancers in front of her, Alma yelled at Edward with her loudest voice.

The Night Dancer, who had never expected Alma to play this trick, suddenly had their brains short-circuited.

When they woke up, they found that Edward was already standing between him and Alma with a smile.

"You..." The man in the lead no longer knew how to speak, so he could only point at Edward with his trembling right hand.

"Sorry, since someone is hiring me now, among other things, protecting the customer is the most basic professional ethics of a mercenary.

Just like you never reveal the identity of your customer." Edward turned his head and said to Alma, "By the way, Alma.

You are very lucky today.

You happen to be my hundredth customer, so I only charge one silver coin for your commission.

If the deal is concluded, just give the money to Ellie." He hired the top warriors and magicians in the mercenary kingdom to protect himself, and the commission was indeed so small that it was negligible, only one silver coin. If this kind of thing were to be told, the entire continent would be afraid.

No one in their right mind would think this to be true.

The people of the Night Dancer are certainly not idiots. Everyone knows that Edward has made it clear that he will have a hand in their matter.

He was verbose for a long time, just trying to find an excuse for himself.

"Are you, are you sure you really want to guard that little girl?" The voice of the Dark Night Dancer's man had become a little out of tune due to the anger in his heart, "Aren't you afraid of the consequences of offending our Dark Night Dancers?

?" "I didn't mean to offend you.

But you also know that credibility is the most important thing in the mercenary business.

Am I going to give up my patrons just to avoid offending you? If so, how can I do this in the future if you ask me to?" Facing the night dancers who were about to explode, Edward still replied cheerfully, without caring at all.

The soaring murderous aura emanating from the other party.

"Then don't blame us for being rude!" Almost as he was speaking, several Night Dancer killers standing around took out their weapons and rushed towards the three of them almost at the same time.

This can be regarded as a shameless sneak attack. If an ordinary person faced this kind of opponent who strikes at his word, he might not even be able to react at all.

But this time they faced the strongest swordsman and the strongest magician in the mainland. Almost at the next moment, the killers who were close to Edward, except for the leading man, all of them screamed and flew away.

, fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

It looked like he was seriously injured.

And that man only survived because he realized something was wrong the moment he took action and stopped in time.

Edward's sword was so fast that it could be described as weird. They couldn't even imagine the method he used to swing a big sword faster than lightning.

Their original plan was just to seize Edward's advantage. After all, if they wanted to really defeat a sword master, just these people would definitely not be enough.

But Alma behind him is different. As long as he can catch her, everything else can be ignored.

But unfortunately, their wishful thinking was still very wrong.

Although their first move surprised Edward a little, the difference in strength between the two sides was really huge, and the speed they thought was already weirdly fast still did not escape Edward's eyes.

With just one sword strike, the joint siege of more than a dozen killers collapsed in an instant.

On the other side, the killers who attacked from behind Edward also had poor results. More than a dozen of them almost jumped out of the shadows, but they hit an invisible wall and fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, they realized that Ellie was looking at them with a slight smile, obviously she had noticed their whereabouts.

At this time, there was another sound of metal collision not far away, and then I saw that Edward's sword had been placed on the neck of the person who had taken the lead in the shadow dancer earlier, and that person's dagger had already been struck by Edward's sword.

I don’t know where Tiao Fei went.

"How's it going? Are you still playing?" Edward still had the same expression as before, but now to the group of killers from Shadow Dancer, the expression of Edward in front of them was as ferocious as that of a demon.

The man obviously looked unwilling, but he really couldn't do anything to Edward.

If Edward really had murderous intent in that blow just now, it would be impossible for him and his companions to survive.

And the group of people who attacked Ellie are even more unlikely to appear. It is not difficult for the Great Mage to cast a high level instantly.

After a long while, he finally lowered his head helplessly to admit defeat.

Edward nodded and put the sword back.

But at the same time, four or five daggers appeared in the man's hand as if by magic, and they were thrown at Edward at the same time that Edward was sheathing his sword.

After a jingling sound, he was surprised to find that the daggers he threw completely missed him and pinned him to the big tree behind him. One of them even grazed his cheek and took off his hood.

"While I'm in a good mood now, you'd better disappear for me as soon as possible!" Looking at the cold smile on Edward's face, the other Shadow Dancer killers felt that the air around them seemed to be solidified, making them unable to

Breathe easily.

It wasn't until a long time after Edward said this that the other killers around him almost fled as if they were released.

It wasn't until the last killer of the Night Dancer disappeared from Edward's sight that he put the sword back into its sheath, then walked back to the campfire, picked up the cup he had placed on the ground, and drank the soup leisurely, as if

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

Ellie on the side also smiled brightly as she picked up the other two cups and handed one of them to Alma, who was still stunned.

After drinking almost all the soup in the cup in one go, Alma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To her, those few minutes seemed like decades.

After a long time, she finally moved her eyes from the empty cup to Edward. At this moment, he was drinking the soup in his cup leisurely while taking out a piece of dry food from his pocket and eating it slowly.

"Why did you save me?" After hesitating for a moment, Alma finally spoke out her doubts, "I stole your Philosopher's Stone and caused you so much trouble.

Why do you want to save me?" "No why.

It's just that I'm a nosy person by nature." Edward didn't even raise his head when he answered, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

Edward's words undoubtedly made Alma's mind confused. During the time she lived in human society, she only saw intrigues and intrigues, and everything was based on interests.
