The regular trading agreement with the traveling merchant allowed Zhu Jue to get a fairly stable way to find treasure when he first entered the dream realm, and although it had to pay some price, for people like them, time was money!

At the end of the transaction, the traveling merchant unintentionally mentions the time of the transaction with the regular customer that attracts Zhu Jue's attention.

Although the follow-up inquiry did not lead him to ask more from Brown's mouth, the "three years" he mentioned earlier was undoubtedly a very crucial message.

Zhu Jue had seen a clear statement on the number of trips and the time in the contract signed with the gentleman.

Under normal circumstances, once a month, each time is three days, according to the gentleman, because their behavior of traveling to other worlds is harmful to themselves, so they can't be too often, and when they enter the dream world, it is naturally impossible for someone to replace them in the real world.

Three days is a more appropriate time to disappear, just three days of disappearing no one will suspect anything, if the number of disappearances increases, the time of disappearance is too long, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be suspected by the people around you, after all, not everyone is a complete solitary life like Zhu Jue.

Not to mention that even Zhu Jue has friends, such as Olivia who suddenly came to the door yesterday, these are unpredictable things.

So according to the gentleman's introduction, the black swan has experienced 5 trips, since it is once a month, then even if the black swan first enters the fantasy realm and takes the line of traveling merchants, the transaction time between her and Brown is at most five months.

How did the remaining two years and seven months come about?

Brown saw him for the first time, and there was no reason to be sloppy in this kind of thing, let alone know in advance that he and the black swan knew each other.

In this case, the problem lies with the black swan.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Jue immediately thought of the situation when he first met with the rest of the gentleman's team in the house, compared to the curry favor of the rhinoceros and AK, the black swan's attitude towards the gentleman was obviously different.

If you have to say it...... On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to myself!

Zhu Jue, who left the market, walked on the side of the road, thinking about the emerging problems, and found a tailor with a façade that looked okay halfway through.

Thinking is thinking, and what should be done still can't be stopped.

While there was still some time, he was ready to change his outfit.

"Sir, may I be able to help you?"

The tailor asked a little strangely as he looked at the guest in front of him, who had been frowning as if he was thinking about something since he entered the door.

"I want to buy a finished set of clothes that I can wear now, a little looser, I don't like to be restrictive......"

Leaning against the counter, Zhu Jue opened his arms and let the store manager hold a measuring tape, and his eyes fell on the somewhat noisy street outside the window.

The bright golden sunlight fell through the hollow carvings on the window guards onto the floor of the store, and a little dust was suspended in it.

Even though the store manager had finished measuring the size, Zhu Jue still held out his hand, even though he knew he could put it down, it would still distract him.

For this extra two years and nine months, there are only two possibilities:

First, the black swan hid her past experience from the gentleman, in fact, she had already entered the dream realm, and she had made a fortune here, she was very strong, but she did not tell the gentleman about this fact.

According to the rules of a gentleman, if he can't perceive his spiritual power after traveling three times, he will be abandoned unless he comes up with something that can impress him.

The attitude shown by the black swan proves that she obviously cannot be the case

Second, the gentleman knew that the black swan had actually had an experience in the Dream Realm for 3 years, and deliberately hid it from them...... Why hide it?

"That's a little weird......"

Zhu Jue muttered to himself in a low voice.

"What do you say, sir?"

The tailor, who had just come over with a set of ordinary people's clothes from the side, thought he was talking to him.

"It's nothing, just talking to myself, what time is it?"

Taking the clothes over, Zhu Jue raised his head and asked.

......

The second floor of a house somewhere in Neil City.

Unlike the humble houses outside, the décor is undoubtedly much more elaborate, and there is even a cabinet dedicated to handicrafts in the room.

By the window is a small low table with a white square-cornered tablecloth, flanked by people.

The delicate pastries are served on two silver plates, with a cup of steaming coffee on the left and a wooden glass on the right, in which a lilac liquor can be faintly seen.

The conversation has been going on for half an hour.

"Have you had any good goods lately?"

The person on the right is exposed to sunlight below the chest, and the muscles are well defined within the open collar.

His legs rested on the window frame, adjusting to a more comfortable position from time to time.

"Even the crops in the field take time to grow, and it's only been half a year since the last harvest, so it's time for the crops to grow...... The harvest seems to be a bit mediocre this time, and I plan to allocate more seeds in the near future. ”

The gentleman didn't seem to care about the behavior of the man beside him, but just rubbed a bird-shaped ornament on the top of his cane.

"Then why are you looking for me, I'm too busy to waste time with you, and besides, our relationship isn't good enough to eat at the same table. ”

There are some impatient words, and the two of them have never been in a relationship where they can sit down and talk in peace.

"Naturally, there is a reason why I am looking for you, I recently met a very good seedling, believe it or not, his talent is undoubtedly better than that of the black swan...... Even stronger than me, Mr. Boar died at his hands. ”

Taking a pastry and putting it in his mouth, the gentleman thought for a moment, and then said,

"But that gentleman is really disrespectful to me, and someone must show him that the world is far wider than he thinks, and only then can he be used by me for greater power. ”

"So, you want me to kill him? I don't care, as long as you bid, I won't miss a living sacrifice. ”

It has always been the case with money.

"No, he's a gifted man, and I need someone like that in my ranks, so it's just a small lesson, and if you go and beat him, it's better to get rid of one of his hands, or maybe cut off half of his feet, not all of them, just barely able to walk...... All in all the first trip, I needed him for nothing. ”

The gentleman has never been a dull person, he can feel Zhu Jue's distrust of him or even no respect, if it is a rhinoceros, AK and other characters, he has already eliminated it himself, but Zhu Jue is undoubtedly special.

In a way, the gentleman is like a budget-conscious businessman, who has just given away the gift bag and signed a contract that is different from everyone else, and it is the time to turn these things into profits, and now he spends money to cut this extremely high quality crop, which is a slap in the face, and all he wants to do is prune the crop.

"Hahaha~ I am worried about that guy when you casually say such fierce words as you cut off a dead hand and a leg...... Half an arm, a lame leg, so be it. ”

The man grabbed the wine glass, drank all the wine in it, then turned and walked to the door, raised his hand to hold the doorknob, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and said,

"For the sake of knowing each other for so long, I have to remind you that there are some things that you don't want to keep, just like your life, it's far from being as safe as you think. ”

The palm of the hand holding the bird ornament suddenly tightened, and the gentleman just munched on the pastry, his eyes falling on the cornices entwined with unknown vines outside the window.

"I've always known that it's not just Mr. Wind Chime who needs to be pruned......"

Listening to the sound of the door closing, his eyes were cold as he turned his back to the door.

The park in the eastern part of Neil City is not far from here.

The sun is already warm at noon this time, so the park is largely deserted by visitors, with only a few flowers and plants swaying with the hot wind.

The man walked down the winding path into the park, and the gentleman told him that the other party would appear nearby around 12 o'clock, took out his pocket watch and glanced at it: 11:30 o'clock.

Just as he was about to find a shady place to stay around because he had arrived early, his eyes involuntarily glanced under the largest oak tree nearby.

There lay a half-bare homeless man with a tattered kettle in his arms, occasionally pouring a few mouthfuls into his mouth, his face covered with a banana leaf that he had broken out of nowhere, and a cat with gray and white fur tossing and turning in the grass beside him, sometimes pulling the bark and then nibbling on the wild flowers by the tree.

"Get out, I want your position. ”

Leaning up and finding that this shady place was indeed good, the man threw down a copper coin straightforwardly.

"1 copper coin wants to send me away, it seems that you haven't heard of Tony Stark's name......"

The man on the ground stretched out two fingers and cut two holes in the banana leaves, revealing a pair of black eyes, and turned his head to secretly observe the person next to him.

"It's kind of interesting, I'm in a pretty good mood today, take it. ”

Throwing down another silver coin, the man was generous.

"Why don't you get 1 gold coin, it's not ordinary to see your identity. ”

Zhu Jue still didn't get up, just lay on the ground and looked at him.

"Heh, you dare to ask for 1 gold coin when you open your mouth, you probably aren't an ordinary person, right?"

The two of them just stood and lay down.

This scene is probably a duel with a martial arts master.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move; if the enemy moves, I will move blindly.

The two sides are brewing momentum like this, the man's eyes are locked on the person lying on the ground, condescending, he has already taken the initiative!

Puff~

At one point, the sound of flesh breaking sounded.

The sharp claws pierced the throat and then pulled out, and the wind chime flicked his claws in disgust and ran to the pool next to it.

"Are you stupid, if I don't move, you won't move...... I've got a helper!"

Zhu Jue secretly thought that this guy in front of him had probably watched a lot of martial arts movies.
