Infernal Artist

Liu Ping was asked.

But the prison knight's abilities were so bizarre that he had no time to argue with Gouzi.

——If you don’t care about it, you can still do some good things for it.

"Wait a minute." Liu Ping said.

He adjusted the position of the goggles and placed it behind Fire Fang's butt.

"Look, you have no weaknesses now." Liu Pingzheng told Huo Ya.

"...Why do I feel like I'm telling the enemy that this is my weakness." Huoyang grinned.

"If there is any attack that can break this shield, then you can just surrender. There is no need to fight at all." Liu Ping said.

Huo Ya glanced at Liu Ping resentfully.

Anyone with a bright goggle hanging on the back of their butt will not be in a good mood, although it is indeed a very useful protective measure.

Liu Ping stopped paying attention to Gouzi and started drawing cards instead.

"Let me see the other cards..."

——Compared with the Joker, the Prison Knight is a bit better.

There is no need to activate "Please" again and again, as long as you get a being who is willing to fight side by side, you can make all the cards exclusive.

Liu Ping looked at the card in his hand.

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"Samurai God: Yana (sleeping), Heroic Spirit: Andrea (sleeping), Nine-Life Cat Demon: Zhao Chanyi (sleeping) are all recognized as beings fighting alongside you."

"Strange Card: The Rock of Inexistence."

"Since the card is being used by the Prison Knight, the card is being converted into an exclusive item for the Prison Knight."

"You have obtained the strange card: Concealment Collar."

"This is an exclusive prop. No explanation is needed. You should know how to use it."

Bang!

The card turned into a leather collar and appeared in Liu Ping's hand.

A flash of realization flashed through his mind, and he called out, "Come on, Fire Fang."

"What are you doing?" Huo Ya came to Liu Ping and squatted down.

"Wearing this collar allows you to remain hidden. Anyone who sees you will treat you as a proper part of the environment and will not pay too much attention to you." Liu Ping said.

"So strong?" Huoya asked with interest.

"Remember, it can only be maintained for one hour, and once you launch an attack, it will appear immediately." Liu Ping said.

He put the collar around Firefang's neck.

Huoyang shook his body, looked at the breast mirror first, then at the Frostclaw, and said, "Since you have made so many preparations, now I am going to have a big fight?"

Liu Ping was startled and said casually: "I'm just trying out a new ability, no, wait."

He walked to the window and looked outside.

I saw a carriage coming from a distance outside the castle and stopping at the door of the side hall.

The driver got out of the car, walked to the grass on the side to stretch his hands and feet, and lit a cigarette.

It seemed that the coachman was waiting for someone.

"...Huoyang, let's try to see if you can sneak into that carriage." Liu Ping said.

"Are you trying to eavesdrop on something? Or assassinate? Steal something? Seize treasure?" Huoya asked with interest.

"Whatever, we are just trying to take action - remember, if anything happens, I can dissolve the cards at any time and let you return to my deck." Liu Ping quietly opened the window.

"okay, I get it."

Huoya relaxed, calmed down the flames on his body, jumped up on the window sill, and touched along the wall.

It ran all the way to the carriage, and then turned back to look at Liu Ping.

No one discovered it.

Liu Ping pointed to the carriage.

- Let me see what's in the carriage.

Huo Ya suddenly understood and let out a very slight neighing sound.

The "warning whistle" is activated!

"Alert call: Through the call, the discovered situation is notified to the watcher, so that the watcher can directly sense the current situation in his heart."

same moment.

Liu Ping nodded towards Huoyang, then closed his eyes.

Huo Ya looked around and saw that the coachman was still smoking in the distance, and the conversation in the side hall was also continuing. No one was paying attention here at the moment.

It jumped lightly and got into the carriage.

Liu Ping immediately sensed what Huoya saw.

——There was a coat hanging in the carriage, an ashtray, a half-smoked cigar, a half-glass of wine, and a book on the small table.

The book has a black cover and the title is written in white letters:

"On Imperial Power."

——Interesting, there is a book here.

Liu Ping was about to let Huo Ya open the book and take a look, but suddenly he found the door to the side hall opened.

Two men wearing windbreakers and hats pulled low came out and quickly got on the carriage.

"Set off."

One man ordered.

"Yes, sir." The driver hurriedly ran back, waved his whip, and turned the car around.

The carriage moved slowly.

Huoyang huddled in the corner of the carriage, holding his breath and motionless.

——As a skeleton dog, it does not need to breathe. The reason why it keeps breathing is to generate flames and to make itself appear gregarious.

Now that we're on our first mission, it's okay not to breathe in order to stay hidden.

The carriage slowly drove out of the castle gate and ran towards the dark road outside.

In the carriage.

The two men finally began to talk.

"What do you think of this incident?"

"I'm so fed up. The entire city's war sequence is in full swing, just to protect the safety of that baby. We have all become his slaves!"

"Don't be angry. Since the devil failed to kill him, then we will kill the devil. This will at least improve our military merit."

"Oh, I can't go to the battlefield."

"how?"

"The machine asked me to stay in charge of security."

"No wonder you're so annoyed. Okay, stop thinking about it and come have a drink."

"cheers."

The two had a drink.

"By the way, what are the origins of those young men who rescued him?"

"It seems that they are new recruits recruited by Frostwind City. They all died young, but they had good talents, so they are alive now and rescued the baby."

"So that's it. They ruined everyone's good things. How about..."

"No, don't, there are orders from above."

"What order?"

"These little guys have just entered the Evernight and don't understand what's going on here. Killing them will not help. It will only make the royalists more vigilant."

"That's right, killing them is meaningless, and it will also anger the royal family and the machine sequence - by the way, how are the higher ups planning to arrange them?"

"After the machine evaluates and awards them, we will promote them to serve in the military on the basis of merit - after all, the military's treatment is the best, and they will definitely not refuse."

"Should we accept them?"

"No, after a while, send them directly to the front line so that everyone can see their fate."

"What a perfect arrangement."

The two had another drink.

At this time, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

"I'm here. Let's go first. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The car door opens.

A man stepped out of the car, waved to his companions inside, and turned to walk towards a residential area not far away.

The carriage started again, turned a corner, and headed in another direction.

The streets became deserted.

After a while.

Bang!

Just hear a soft sound.

It's as if something has disappeared.

…

the next day.

Morning.

Liu Ping, Libertas, Xiao Mengluo, and Hua Qingkong finished breakfast and were talking around the table.

Seven or eight people in military uniforms walked in.

"Congratulations, this is the reward you deserve."

The leading officer smiled and placed the four medals in front of them.

Liu Ping picked up the medal and looked at it. He saw that the medal was made of pure gold and was engraved with a mechanical arm holding many cards.

"The Imperial Gold Medal represents a noble status. In many cases, it can give priority to the response of the machine, and in many places it can be exempted from fees." the officer explained.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

This medal is quite useful and is an extremely special honor. Several people picked up the medal and put it into their pockets.

"Originally there was a small award ceremony, but now everyone is busy saving Frostwind City - I hope you don't mind." the officer said apologetically.

After saying this, he changed his tone and asked: "Frostwind City seems to have been destroyed. What are your plans for your future?"

The teenagers looked at each other.

The officer smiled and said: "You have just arrived in Yongye, and you probably don't know what to do. I don't think it's better than this. I will personally recommend you to join the army. What do you think?"

Behind him, another officer said: "Everyone, let me explain. In our empire, the military enjoys the most favorable treatment. Once you join, you will immediately realize the benefits of becoming a military member."

Several other people nodded.

Libertas said: "Hua Qingkong, you came a year earlier than us - is that true?"

"Indeed, the military's treatment is the most generous." Hua Qingkong said.

Xiao Mengluo said softly: "Liu Ping? What do you think?"

"Are there any other options?" Liu Ping asked.

"There's no better option, little one," the officer smiled.

"That is to say - the military ordered us to join the army immediately after completing the rescue mission, is that true?" Liu Ping asked.

"No, the military does not have such power. I am just making suggestions." The officer said quickly.

"So, are there any other options?" Liu Ping continued to ask.

Everything fell silent.

People stared at Liu Ping with strange eyes.

Liu Ping laughed and said, "Maybe you don't quite understand. I am the leader of this team and must be responsible for all members, so I have to ask clearly."

"Okay, you should ask clearly. According to the machine's recommendation order, you have a total of three choices."

"What three?"

"The first is to join the military, enjoy the most generous treatment and quickly improve your strength; the second is to go to another academy to study; the third is to join the imperial guard of the empire based on meritorious service and receive a salary to live." The officer said.

Another officer explained: "After joining the military, the military also has an academy, and you can learn more than ordinary academies."

Another old man in gorgeous clothes said: "Everyone, you are just teenagers. After entering the Royal Guards, you will not be reused at all. Your job all day long is to attend various occasions and serve as escorts. I think this It’s harmful to your growth.”

Everyone nodded.

The officer added to the fire: "You are all talented people. We hope that you can get the best training, so we invite you to join the military - please make your decision carefully."

The teenagers looked hesitant.

Hua Qingkong smiled and said: "Actually, they are all good choices, but they are so sincere -"

"So let's join the Royal Guards." Liu Ping continued.

Hua Qingkong was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Ping seriously.

Liu Ping asked: "We saved the royal bloodline, didn't we?"

"Yes." Hua Qingkong said.

Liu Ping asked again: "We naturally carry the identity of royalists, and we can't wash it off no matter what, can we?"

It was quiet again.

All those people's eyes were focused on Liu Ping.

Liu Ping continued: "So for us, the safest place is with the royal family, because we have proven our loyalty and innocence, and people like us will be truly reused in the royal family."

Hua Qingkong's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "You are right, you make the decision."

Liu Ping looked at Libertas.

"They said so much, but I don't think these two sentences are as useful as yours." Libertas praised.

Liu Ping looked at Xiao Mengluo again.

"I listen to you." Xiao Mengluo smiled sweetly at him.

Liu Ping faced everyone, coughed slightly and said: "We choose to join the Royal Guards."
