Faced with Shen Shuming's question, "Why don't you catch Jessica", Wang Xiaotian had no words, so he could only lower his head and pretend to be stupid.

Shen Shuming angrily counted down and said, "You self-righteous stupid boy! If a woman is coquettish and pretends to be pitiful, you will be stupid to believe it. It's stupid! Do you know how horrible she is?"

Wang Xiaotian looked at Shen Shuming blankly. Is Jessica scary? A few years ago, when she was in hot pursuit and wanted to kill herself and Cao Lianyou, it was indeed terrifying. But now...... It can only be said that it is so-so.

Wang Xiaotian has seen more dangerous things than her. If nothing else, just one Daisy is enough to beat her.

Shen Shuming looked around and found that there were more and more people eating melons who were sticking their heads out and probing their brains. So, he said, "Hurry back with me." ”

Wang Xiaotian followed Shen Shuming and returned to the City Lord's Mansion with a smoke. Before his ass could sit firmly, he asked Shen Shuming curiously, "Uncle Shen, is that Jessica very powerful?"

Shen Shuming squinted at Wang Xiaotian, snorted, and didn't speak.

Wang Xiaotian immediately laughed, poured tea, massaged his shoulders, and begged in a low voice: "Uncle Shen, you told me about it, and it also made me gain knowledge." ”

Shen Shuming snorted lightly and said, "This attitude is not bad. Give me thirty or fifty of your knick-knacks, and I'll tell you. ”

Wang Xiaotian immediately jumped up, "Thirty or fifty?! You are a robbery." Tens of thousands of gold coins! No, five at most!"

Uncle Shen immediately arrived: "Twenty!"

Wang Xiaotian: "Ten!"

Shen Shuming: "Fifteen!"

Wang Xiaotian: "Twelve!"

Shen Shuming: "Thirteen, no less." ”

Wang Xiaotian's face ached, "Okay." I'll pick it for you, though. ”

Shen Shuming: "If you dare to give me a broken one, see if I don't beat you!"

Wang Xiaotian: "Okay, okay." Here you go, that's it. Tell me about it. ”

Shen Shuming took a sip of milk tea and said, "This Jessica is one of the three masters among the lurkers. It is also the lowest level of the Force among the three masters. Note that it is the low level of the Force, which does not mean that she is not strong. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded. The level of the Force and its strength cannot be completely equated. Below the sixth level of the Force Master, the level is the measure. The higher the level of the Force, the stronger it is. The Force Master can crush all cultivators below the sixth level of the Force.

But starting from the sixth-level Force Master, there is more than one way to improve your strength. In other words, the level of the Force is not the only measure of strength.

First of all, because the promotion of level 6 to level 7 Force requires the refining of the Liquefied Force. Generally speaking, it takes at least twenty copies of the Liquefied Force to convert one Essence Force. The difficulty of increasing the level of the Force has increased by at least twenty times. Therefore, increasing the level of the Force to increase the strength of the force is far less effective than other means.

This other approach is mainly in terms of skills and equipment. In terms of skills, in addition to the skills you have comprehended, you can also learn more advanced and powerful skills. For example, Jessica's "Divine Seal Storm" was learned.

In terms of equipment, it is mainly the large-scale and in-depth application of rune arrays. The power of the rune array is undeniable. Almost all high-end Force equipment depicts different kinds of rune arrays.

And the cost of carving the rune array is very high. Not only are the raw materials used to make runes expensive, but the labor costs of rune masters are also very high. Therefore, low-level equipment below level six has no need to depict rune arrays at all. There are also very few people who are willing to carve rune arrays on low-level equipment.

In addition, rune arrays are not permanent, and each rune has a limit on how many times it can be used. In order to save the labor cost of rune masters, some cultivators choose to replace the runes themselves, which requires them to learn some rune knowledge.

For all these reasons, it takes a long time to go from a sixth-level Force Master to a more advanced Force Master. Even if the family is strong, there is no need to worry about anything, and it will take more than ten years to only practice (carry out the essence of the Force).

However, Wang Xiaotian is still skeptical of Shen Shuming's assertion that "Jessica's strength is very strong". Because he felt that Jessica was not much better than himself.

Shen Shuming saw Wang Xiaotian's expression and said, "Do you think that my judgment of her strength is inaccurate?"

Wang Xiaotian said: "I don't think she is much better than me." ”

Shen Shuming snorted and said, "That's because she is now fighting alone alone, and there is no lurker organization to provide her with intelligence and operational support." Without this support, she couldn't even give full play to one-third of her strength. ”

"And what she's good at is stealth assassination. Let her give up her strengths and fight with you face to face with the gong, she will naturally not be able to exert her full strength. Do you know how she used to do her job?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head.

Shen Shuming said: "For example, the target of the action is you, and the simplest task flow is like this. Beforehand, the Infiltrator Organization will collect all your information, your family relationships, your preferences, who you are trained with, what weapons you are good at, and what your strength is. Where are you frequented and where will you be recently? ”

"Combining all the information, they will choose one, the right time and place to act. For example, if you like to go shopping, they send some people, disguised as small traders, to squat in the places you frequent. ”

"At first, though, they don't act immediately, but just do business like real petty traders and peddlers, paralyzing your vigilance. After a while, you have become accustomed to their presence, and they will take the opportunity to suddenly attack. Will you always be wary of the petty vendors around you, and even the guys who often bring you tea and water?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head, "No." I don't go to these places very often, though. ”

Shen Shuming said: "I'm just giving an example. You know Jessica, she's called that now, right?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded.

"Do you know what tasks she's done?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head.

Shen Shuming said: "Let me tell you first, she assassinated the leader of the separatist forces of the Xiluo Kingdom. There have always been separatist forces in the country of Xiluo, mainly on Onishi Island. In the old era, 70 percent of the island was submerged by a tsunami. To this day, the area of the island has not returned to the level of the old era. ”

"The people of this island, from the beginning of the New Era, have professed to be the chosen people. His reason turned out to be that if it weren't for God's blessing, they would have been killed by the tsunami of the old era. It is a miracle that they survived, and it is also the grace of God. And God blessed them so that they could spread the glory of God throughout the world. ”

Wang Xiaotian pursed his lips, "Why do you hear that these people's brains are a little abnormal?"

Shen Shuming smiled: "It's not a little, it's very abnormal." In their ancient legends, the tsunami was actually the second great flood that destroyed the world. They are the mythical Noah. Daxi Island is the new Noah's Ark. In addition to them, the people who survived in other areas were sinners. ”

Wang Xiaotian immediately exclaimed: "I'll wipe it! This blow surface is a bit big and outrageous." ”

Shen Shuming nodded, "That's right." If those people treat this view as just a legend, forget it. But in reality, they are all fanatics. I have always believed that this view is extremely correct. Thus, the contradiction between the Siro kingdom and them was triggered. ”

"Onishi Island and the Kingdom of Siro fought a war that lasted for hundreds of years. Until the fourth generation of the Wu Emperor family, Edward Augustus, was born and became the second Wu Emperor, leading the army to conquer Daxi Island after three years of bloody battles, and incorporated it into the territory of the Xiluo Kingdom to complete the unification. ”

However, Onishi became part of the kingdom of Siro and was conquered by force by Edward Augustus. There has always been a rift between it and the rest of the country, so the separatist forces have always existed, and they often make trouble. ”

"The separatist forces of the Xiluo Kingdom against the Great West Island are also like a fish in the throat. It's just that the geographical location of Daxi Island is too special, and the people on the island are extremely united. If there is a big crusade against the separatist forces, it will inevitably lead to a new all-out war. ”

Therefore, the high-level leaders of the Xiluo Kingdom determined a secret resolution, that is, to take the form of assassination, assassination, etc., to carry out targeted elimination of the leaders of the separatist organization in Daxi Island. The one in charge of this operation is the Sleeper Organisation. ”

Of course, the whole operation must not leave any leverage, and if it fails, it cannot leave a living mouth to point to the organization. The Infiltrator organization generally uses this task to select the backbone. Only after completing this task can you become a core member of the organization. ”

Wang Xiaotian was very surprised, and said, "No, the Xiluo Kingdom has adopted such a despicable method to deal with its own people?

Shen Shuming said solemnly: "Don't put your personal feelings on national decision-making. There is a reason for this to be done in the country of Siro. If the island is allowed to split, it is equivalent to putting a dagger on the back of the West Country, which may be stabbed at any time. ”

"At that time, the reason why Edward Augustus led an expedition and forcibly conquered Onishi Island with iron and blood was also to prevent Onishi Island from becoming an independent state and becoming a dagger threatening the Cishiro Kingdom. ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "However, in the history of the old era, the Xiluo Kingdom was originally divided. There are dozens of countries in that place. Even on the island of Onishi, there is more than one country. Why, at that time, Onishi Island was not a threat?"

Shen Shuming said: "In the old era, the area of Xiluo Country was a plate of scattered sand. Although Daxi Island is a dagger, how can a dagger threaten scattered sand? Moreover, in order to find a backer, many countries have formed alliances with the countries on Daxi Island. ”

"In the late old era, the region of the West Luo Kingdom formed an alliance and gradually developed towards unification, and Onishi Island had stumbling and making knives on its back. What's more, although the current kingdom of Siro is a whole, it is very fragile like a wooden plank, if it is inserted twice with a dagger, the plank will be broken. ”

"Alright. Don't talk about that. When these historical issues are studied, it is not clear for several years. Let's talk about Jessica's assassination of Woody, the leader of the Daxi Island separatist organization. It was also through this operation that she became famous. ”

Wang Xiaotian immediately became interested, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Shen Shuming took a sip of milk tea and said: "At that time, Daxi Island was completely controlled by separatist forces, and the lurker organization only planted a few inside lines to provide clues, and there was no way to provide operational support for Jessica. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "In other words, this operation is her own battle?"

Shen Shuming nodded and said, "Almost." There is only very limited intelligence support. Originally, it was good, and there was a boat to meet when retreating. Unexpectedly, the ship that received it was caught in a storm and sunk by the storm. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "How can such a thing happen? Are the members of the lurkers all at this level?"
