I was expelled from the team and was recruited by the demons?

Two hours ago

"It's fun for you mercenaries to meet in the sewers or in the cemetery."

Winnie tugged at the hood above her head to make sure her face wasn't visible.

In front of her, there stood a strange man with a thin and pale complexion.

"Because very few of the work we do can see the light."

The man spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if he had been burned in the throat by something.

"Don't talk about anything else, what I asked you to do, you should have points in your heart, right, is there a problem?"

Winnie clearly didn't intend to linger long, and opened her mouth to get straight to the point.

"Everything else is fine, but there is one thing that needs to be renegotiated."

The man opened his mouth and let out a chuckle of sinister chuckles.

“...... Speak.

Winnie was a little helpless, but she also knew this kind of thing, and only the person in front of her was the most reliable in the entire royal capital.

After all...... This man is a former S-class assassin professional adventurer, Sanchez "Ghostly Shadow".

"You let me sneak in, but the 'Queen of Blades' Christine's room, as for me, taking this job is equivalent to pinning my head to the waistband of my pants, so... Gotta add money.

Sanchez stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of money by rubbing his index finger and thumb.

"30 gold coins... The money I gave you is already twenty points higher than the market price, and you should understand that being too greedy is not a good thing. Winnie's

voice also cooled, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the other party's lion's opening of his mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey... market price, then why don't you go and ask someone who is willing to charge you this market price?

Sanchez grinned, clearly not taking Winnie's threat to heart.

"Tsk... You take it first, this is the deposit, and I will contact you again after the matter is completed.

Winnie snorted, then took the purse from her waist and threw it over.

"Good ma'am, happy dealing."

Sanchez reached out and took the money bag, and at this moment, his ghostly face was finally fully displayed in the moonlight.

That face is like a poisonous snake with facial features.

The distorted expression and the hideous facial muscles look weird and terrifying.

And after Winnie handed over the money to the other party, she didn't stay any longer, and immediately turned away.

"These people in the Great Guild don't look like people, and they're not necessarily cleaner than us rats in the gutter."

Sanchez looked at Winnie's departing back and smiled coldly, then opened the money bag and took out the delicate amethyst necklace inside.

"I don't know... Which wronged person will be charged with the crime this time..."

............

Wang Du. South Gate. Holy Wood Knights tent

"Catch that bastard, he's from Lord Christine's room!"

In the camp of the knights stationed near the royal capital, countless torches were lit at this moment.

Knights with spears mounted on their horses, trying to chase a strange figure that flickered and swayed between the tents.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Sanchez covered his face with a veil, his rules of action were completely irregular, and he looked like a black mist flying around.

"Get out of the way."

The Order's tent was lifted, and a young man with a longbow stood outside the tent, aiming at the swift black figure and drawing the bowstring.

"May the starlight break free from their shackles and dispel the gloom of the night, and may the bright moon shine upon me and bestow the deepest divine punishment on sinners!"

"Whoosh!"

As the mana chant was finished, the arrow flew straight out as the bowstring retracted, like the coldest white meteor in the night sky.

"Dancing a knife in the mist, like an evil ghost in the night, ignorant and unconscious, he should not be afraid or frightened."

Sanchez, in the black mist, also chanted a incantation, and two daggers pierced through the mist, facing the flying arrows at a very tricky angle.

For a moment, the sparks created by the friction between the blade and the arrow exploded like fireworks in the night.

By the time the dust had settled, the black figure was gone.

The young man put down the silver carved longbow in his hand and stared coldly at the place where the mist had disappeared.

"Deputy Master, this is in Lord Christine's room... Something found. The

heavily armored knight knelt respectfully in front of the young man, holding a crystal necklace of great price.

“...... Go to Christine and see if she has a clue, and inform the whole city that martial law is going on, and anyone who covers their faces with a face towel will be arrested for me. The

young man raised his head, and his delicate face, which was very beautiful in the statue, was already full of cold chills at this time.

Even the camp of the Knights of the Protector Nation dares to touch in, and now the royal capital is really not peaceful...

"Yes!"

The knights mounted their horses one after another, flicked the reins in their hands and ran in different directions.

The royal capital on this day is destined to have a quiet night.

............

As the early morning sun rose, Eli, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes a little impatiently.

What a broken room... Not even a curtain.

Eli couldn't help but complain.

However, he did not have the habit of lying in bed, and after simply cleaning up, he planned to walk straight out the door.

"Ahh I almost forgot about this.

Eli took off the mask hanging on the wall and put it on his face, and when he opened the door, he found Emma and Chizuru waiting outside for a long time.

Emma leaned against the wall, opening her mouth wide and yawning from time to time, apparently forcibly woken up by Chizuru.

"Young master, are you sleeping well... Offended, young lord.

Chizuru lowered her body slightly, and was about to salute Eli, only to find that Eli's hair had fallen from sleep with a few strange dull hairs.

Then she walked up behind Eli and gently reached out to smooth the ends of Eli's hair.

"Haha... Thank you, Chizuru.

Eli moved a little uncomfortably.

Whether it was in the original world, or after coming here, he basically didn't have such intimate contact with women, and he still couldn't get used to it for a while.

Chizuru smiled silently, then stood quietly behind him.

"Don't you sometimes think Chizuru is quite annoying?"

Emma grinned and reached over with her elbow and touched Eli's shoulder.

"Actually, it's a little... Actually, it's okay! I think it's great! I'm Eli this one!

Just as Eli was about to reply to Emma, he turned his head to see Chizuru looking at him expectantly.

So he changed his tone and expressed his opinion loudly.

"Cut."

Emma pursed her lips and prepared to walk towards the stairs.

"Young master, wait a minute."

Just as the two were about to walk out, Chizuru, who was standing in place, frowned.

"What's wrong, Chizuru?"

Eli turned around and looked at Chizuru's expression, which didn't seem like something good.

"There's people from the Order patrolling outside, a lot of people."

Through the perceptual enchantment, Chizuru is keenly aware of all the strange sounds around her.

"Is it because we're still wanted?"

Emma asked, poking her head out.

"It's not like, it's not the guards of the royal capital who participated in the search, it's the people of the Holy Wood Knights, this is the Protector Knights of the Longxin Kingdom, and the people who are arrested will not be simple."

Chizuru said lightly.

However, at this moment, a cold and calm voice suddenly came from the direction of the front desk of the inn:

"The Holy Wood Knights are routinely inspecting, please inform the guests of the inn to clean up, we have to ask about something."
