Lord of War

Light footsteps sounded behind Sean.

Sean can also tell people from the sound of footsteps without looking back.

"Why are you awake?" Sean turned around and smiled at the visitor.

"Well, I can't sleep anymore." Cecilia stared at the place where Monica disappeared, "A very powerful person... I didn't feel any trace of magic, and it didn't seem like stealth. It seemed to be more This kind of technique is more advanced... like, the real disappearance of invisibility."

Thieves' unique skill "stealth." Although it looks invisible in the game, it is actually not the case in this real world. The skill of sneaking is a relatively advanced skill in the Thieves Guild, but its essence is just to eliminate the breath of one's own existence by adjusting one's own breathing rhythm and movements.

Of course, there are more advanced skills than this kind of stealth - that is the exclusive skill of shadow assassins.

But at this time, the surrounding field of vision is very clear and wide, without any shadows, so naturally this is not a unique skill of the shadow assassin. Of course, the more important thing is that Cecilia, as a genius with profound attainments in the field of magic, even she can't feel the wave of magic, so this is 100% sure that it is definitely not any sign of magic.

It's just that Sean has no impression of such an ability.

"En." Unable to figure it out, Sean didn't bother, he turned his head, looked at the place where Monica disappeared, and then nodded, "If I'm not wrong, the other party is in the whisper of the succubus. It should also be a character belonging to the superior succubus."

"A superior succubus?"

"Succubus Whispers Except for the succubus king and the twelve phantoms who command the entire organization, the entire power class can be divided into five levels. Among them, the upper-level succubus is the existence at the second level in this pyramid structure, which can be regarded as Similar to the existence of trump cards." Sean simply explained to Cecilia. "If it wasn't for her being too contemptuous of us at the beginning, she would indeed have caused us a lot of trouble...Of course, judging by the field she is good at, she might not be an opponent for any of us in a head-to-head confrontation .”

Sean didn't say a word.

That is, people like Monica who serve as high-level succubus in Whispering Succubus are already the best servants players can get from Whispering Succubus organization. In the game back then, although there were hundreds of Gaowan who had the background of Succubus Whisper as servants, among them Gaowan could have the evaluation of "superior succubus" as a servant. There are only a few dozen people, which shows how difficult it is to obtain.

But now, a high-level succubus like Monica. To be assigned to follow Anom only proves that Anom must have something that Succubus Whispers desperately needs.

Sean hadn't forgotten that Monica had completely evaded his question about Arnom's offer.

Ten pieces of silver demonized equipment belonged to the rotten street stuff in the game. It may become very valuable in this world. But this is still far from enough to persuade Succubus Whisper—let alone invite, I'm afraid it's not even possible to build a relationship. At least all the quest lines about Succubus Whisper that Sean knew were taken in the Seven Great Empires. It is almost impossible for other first-class kingdoms to have anything to do with Succubus Whisper, let alone Dabion It was only a second-rate kingdom before.

So what Sean said before was just a temptation.

And Monica's reaction was also expected by Sean, but he couldn't get any rumors out of Monica's mouth, which made him a little regretful. But overall. Sean still knew a very important piece of information: that is what Anom can pay, and its value is not lower than that of the middle-effect gold-grade demonized equipment that Sean gave.

An alchemy blacksmith. He can't make gold-grade magic equipment by himself, but he can pay a lot of gold-grade magic equipment. Isn't the answer already very obvious?

There can be no answer other than priceless material.

However, Sean has no idea what kind of material it is.

After all, Sean hadn't participated in the game in the first place. He knew that Succubus Whispers was an organization that he only came into contact with when Utopia was burned down and the entire guild was transferred to the Chinese Empire for redevelopment. So at this moment, Sean naturally has no way of knowing what kind of deal Succubus Whispers and Arnom have made. Of course, if he hadn't seen Monica with his own eyes today, Sean would not have known that Succubus Whispers had started so soon. Miracle Continent is active.

The only thing he can do at this time is to start to speculate bit by bit based on the existing clues like an ordinary player. Of course, judging from the current situation, apart from being able to know that it is probably a priceless material, I don't know anything else.

In fact, Sean did have some ideas about such a material.

As a player, how could it be possible not to be interested in these things? But judging from the current situation, it is obviously not low to get started. If too much time is wasted on such a material, in Xiao En's opinion, it is not worth it, because right now he has more important things to deal with. At least compared to that material, the physical conditions of Reina, Sefanio and others are the most important in Sean's eyes.

In addition, the caravan from the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance should also be on the way to the Void Territory at this time, and Sean predicted that the other party would arrive at the Void Territory with him. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of troubles. Just how to deal with those demons, Sean has no good ideas now; in addition, there are issues about the reconstruction of the territory, the reorganization of the legion, and the Hailsen There are many problems with the establishment of the magic circle by the scholars.

Thinking about it this way, Sean felt that the pressure on his shoulders was too great.

"What shall we do next?" Cecilia looked at Sean, who was clearly preoccupied, stepped forward to hold Sean's hand softly, and asked.

"Continue to act according to Hella's plan." Sean who had regained his senses turned around and smiled at Cecilia. Then he stretched out his hand and patted Cecilia's head, "Since someone has come to trouble us tonight, it proves that they will not devote their energy to Acorn Grassland. At most, they will harass us and delay our speed ...But starting tomorrow, when we rest, we probably really need to find some safer places."

Cecilia smiled and said nothing.

Sean rubbed Cecilia's hair for a long time. This action made the latter stunned for a moment, but the former showed a sincere smile that he hadn't seen for a long time: "Don't worry, I will resist the sky falling."

"I'm not worried." Cecilia pouted. "In about two or three days, I should be able to recover."

"I know." Sean nodded, "Go and sleep again."

"how about you?"

"I'm going to sleep too." Xiao En said with a smile. Then he casually threw away the string of ligaments wrapped around his hands, "Anyway, no one will come to make trouble tonight."

...

And the development of the matter was indeed as Sean judged.

Monica reappeared only a few hundred meters away from the place where Sean and the others repaired. It's just that the figure just appeared. She couldn't help but groaned, a streak of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, obviously injured.

"Are you injured?" Seeing Monica's appearance, a strong man who had been waiting next to him let out a surprise, "Is the other party that powerful?"

"That lord is not simple." Monica said in a deep voice, "It's just a minor injury to me. It was caused by using secret techniques many times in a short period of time. It doesn't hurt."

"Is that lord very powerful?" The strong man next to him asked in a deep voice.

This strong man. It is Anom's true follower.

He has followed Anom for several years, and in terms of combat power alone, he is indeed the well-deserved number one under Anom. Even if it is put to fight in the martial arts festival, it is no problem to rank among the top 32. If you are lucky enough, it is not difficult to enter the ranks of the top 16. After all, the giant heavy hammer in his hand that is enough to scare countless people just by looking at its appearance was tailor-made for him by Arnom, and it comes with three very practical special abilities, so when facing the same level of strength Among his opponents, his advantage has always been great.

"I heard that he is a master of swordsmanship. He is famous for his fast sword. He is not an opponent you can deal with head-on." Monica glanced at the strong man, and then said softly.

Hearing this, the brawny man patted his head in shame.

In terms of his size, one can tell at a glance that he is a strong man who takes the fierce route, and he is holding such a terrifying heavy weapon. No matter how he looks at it, he is obviously very helpless to those who take the agile route. If Sean is just a master of swordsmanship, this strong man still has the confidence to fight Sean. After all, no one can say victory without a fight, but after hearing that Sean is famous for his fast sword The master of swordsmanship, this strong man has no idea of ​​fighting alone.

"Then how do we reply to those nobles?" The brawny man whispered, "If you let him know that you failed tonight, then he might be furious."

"Our relationship with the other party is just a cooperator, not an affiliation relationship, so we don't need to obey his orders and arrangements." Monica snorted coldly, "Besides, I have already said that tonight I just It’s just to spy on the information, of course, the purpose of harassment is enough, and now the other party must be suspicious and afraid to fall asleep easily, which has achieved the goal we agreed at the beginning.”

"Yes." The strong man nodded.

Monica glanced at this companion, who was clearly in a hurry because of his intelligence, but snorted contemptuously in her heart.

She didn't believe that Xiao En would be suspicious and afraid to sleep at night. In her opinion, the lord must have fallen asleep, and she felt that if he killed a carbine at this time, he would definitely reap very impressive results. It's just that the strong sense of crisis in her heart made her restrain this temptation. For so long, she was able to stand out from the whispers of the succubus by relying on this keen sense of smell, so when this kind of death crisis When the temptation arises, she will become extremely cautious, no matter how strong the temptation is, she will choose to give up.

After all, you only have a chance if you are alive.

And similarly, when talking to Sean tonight, she also gave up several opportunities to kill Sean. Because in that place, the sense of crisis she felt was stronger and clearer than it is now. This is the real reason why she finally chose to back down when facing Sean.

Anyway, for Monica, there is still a long way to go. As long as she is careful and cautious enough and makes more preparations, there will definitely be opportunities. Moreover, she now has a secret agreement with Sean, which can be said to be safe for the time being. Of course, no matter how safe it is, the assassination industry is still accompanied by certain dangers. Sometimes even if the other party wants to show mercy, it is like a reflex Counterattacks can also be fatal.

Monica, she doesn't want to take that risk.
