Smithsonian Green's revenge was eventually known to the Empire, because he didn't try to hide it before he acted, as long as he could get his revenge on the Carter family before the law enforcement guards intervened.

A viscount-level nobleman was wiped out in his own home, and the impact of this incident on the empire can be imagined, because the aristocratic class attaches great importance to it, the detailed information of the incident is easily dug up by the empire's intelligence agencies.

In other words, it was as if there was an invisible secret hand that took the initiative to send a lot of clues to the eyes of the investigators of the imperial intelligence agency.

For example, the information on the slave mark engraved on Smithsonian Green's body can be traced back to the source, and a number of episodes containing the misdeeds committed by the Smithsonians are recorded in a secret diary written by Wes Carter himself that somehow broke and was exposed in his personal bedroom.

I have to say that this Wes is also a superb with a twisted personality, not only has a penchant for torturing and killing civilians, but also likes to record the bastards he has done in the past as a 'record' in his spare time. Although this thing carefully hid the diary in a very secret compartment and never took it out to share it with anyone, this is a piece of evidence after all, and no matter how low the probability is, there will always be a possibility of exposure.

Although there are only a few words, the investigators of the imperial intelligence agency are not vegetarians, and after collecting some clues about the past behavior of the Carter family, as well as some clues about the headless case, the authenticity of the incident is basically determined.

A typical civilian revenge incident.

Of course, the point is not this, the empire is more concerned about the intelligence of the avenger Smithsonian Green, according to the information traced from the slave mark to find the owner of the other party, they found that although this person was also used as a slave of the combat system half a year ago, but at that time, the other party only had the strength of the upper-level elf co-contract, and he was not even at the rank of soldier.

But now, just a few months have passed, and the other party's strength has skyrocketed quietly, and he has the ability to kill Viscount Carter, who is a soldier-level elf!

Through the follow-up autopsy of the body left by Smithson, it was officially found that this Smithson obviously used some kind of forbidden trick to burst his potential at that time, and every inch of his body had traces of being oversqueezed out of the limit by the violent spiritual power, and he was so destroyed that he tended to collapse on his own.

The person in charge of the autopsy can assert that, based on this trace, even if the other party did not have those injuries caused by the battle, if left unchecked, he would have died in just three days!

Although it seems that the side effects are high, it is undeniable that the soldier-level elves who were able to kill Viscount Carter already showed that Smithson's combat power at that time should not be underestimated.

[Thanks to the incident you caused at the beginning, the world, including the imperial officials who have always been tough, have paid more attention to the contractors of the sub-machine, and they no longer take a tough attitude easily, and the means of dealing with it have also changed to appease and win over as the main way, which has helped me to leave a lot of effort. As he walked, Jiang Yan said to someone in the ability network.

The next moment, a cold man's voice replied, "This is the honor of my subordinates. 』

[However, you are good, and so is that guy Jeno, why do you all like to develop the spirit warrior system I envisioned so extremely, and you will not hesitate to self-harm at every turn to explode your ultimate power or something, this is not the path that a qualified 'martial artist' should take! 】

"I'm so sorry. The brain, which was transformed from Smithson's soul, apologized to Jiang Yan very simply.

[Among the currently developing sub-machine contractors, you and Jeno can be said to be the most talented in martial arts, and I originally hoped that you would be able to give me more surprises......] Jiang Yan sighed: [Forget it, with your situation, it's not that I can't understand what you do, but I have forced it myself. However, there are gains and losses, and the mood changes brought about by the ups and downs of revenge and my ability transformation have made your soul break through the shackles and become the only second-level brain I can currently use in this world. 】

Jiang Yan's classification of these wisdom brains under his command corresponds to the classification of the extraordinary power of normal beings, and the wisdom brains that have been promoted to the second level, and their abilities in all aspects are obviously much higher than when they were at the first level, with the attacks it has now exerted, with its current soul strength, under all its strength, Jiang Yan estimates that it can already pose a fatal threat to the military-level elves, of course, only at the level of spiritual attacks.

Such strength is naturally a huge help for Jiang Yan, who can only exert his second-level strength now.

In addition, the incident caused by Smithsonian was also the result of Jiang's deliberate indulgence, and even the subsequent development of events he secretly fueled the situation by the intellectuals lurking everywhere, and what he did was to warn the forces of all parties not to underestimate these sub-machine contractors too much, so that they would casually arrest and kill them.

At present, the effect is still in line with Jiang Yan's expectations, and the attitude of all forces towards the contractors of the sub-machine has changed from the initial search and arrest and forcible co-optation and control, to the current situation as long as they keep to themselves and do not make trouble, they will temporarily wait and see and appease and win over.

After all, rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, and if they are too pressed, who knows if it will be like the previous Smithsonian incident, and the contractor will come to a crazy counterattack at any cost.

Jiang Yan is also happy to be like this, even if these contractors of his sub-machine are really co-opted by various forces, it doesn't matter, it may be better to say that - with the constraints of the network agreement, Jiang Yan's sub-machine is basically unable to betray him, and then as long as Jiang Yan gives an order, no matter how they are co-opted by other forces in the future, they can only obediently obey Jiang Yan's orders. This is equivalent to not having to do it with Jiang Yan, and other forces will bury their own nails.

If it is really going to be co-opted by other forces, it will only be more beneficial to Jiang Yan. Anyway, there is almost no cost investment when he develops a sub-machine contractor here, even if he is lost as cannon fodder, Jiang Yan will not feel very distressed.

"Everything is according to your will. The intellectualized Smithson said in an unwavering voice.

[Well, I naturally don't doubt your loyalty. 】

Ending the contact with this new second-level intelligent brain, Jiang Yan looked at the busy streets of the imperial capital in front of him, and silently called up the map of the imperial capital area stored in the submachine network system.

"I'll take a look at ......" Looking at the complicated streets that can dazzle people at a glance, Jiang Yan gave up decisively: "Forget it, Zhi Brain, locate the stronghold of the special assassination force in the imperial capital for me and navigate." ”

Since there is a more convenient way to be lazy, why should he bother to find it slowly.

"Yes. ...... Relevant routes are marked out. 』

In the translucent map projected onto Jiang Yan's visual signal, a striking blue line appeared, which began at Jiang Yan's current location and continued all the way to the center of the city, ending at a building marked by a red circle.

Following this convenient navigation, Jiang Yan walked slowly and quickly through the street for a while, and then came to his destination.

After entering the door and showing the ID given by the old man of Angus before sending the mission, Jiang Yan got the detailed information of his mission in the surprised eyes of the mission.

"Although it seems that your age is a little too young, but since it was recommended by the branch minister of Silint himself, it should be fine. "Mark, who has more than ten years of work experience in this industry, can be regarded as reading countless people, and he has received a lot of people, but it is the first time he has seen a young task performer like Jiang Yan.

Had it not been for the correct documents and the recommendation of the branch minister, Mark would have almost thought that there might be something wrong with the appointment.

"I hope you don't disappoint your superiors, although this mission is not an assassination type, but the nature of the mission is a bit troublesome, you need to pay attention to it. Of course, as opposed to trouble, the rewards for the quest are very good. ”

Jiang Yan swept the reward indicated on the task list: 1000 gold coins and 500 meritorious service.

This is indeed good, generally speaking, even if the target of the assassination type is a five-star mission with the strength of a soldier-level mid-level elf, the reward is only two or three hundred gold coins, and the merit is only a few dozen to nearly a hundred points.

After finally confirming the content of the task, Jiang Yan nodded, put down the task list, and chuckled harmlessly: "Understood, please help me register." ”

......

The moon is dark and the wind is high...... Ah no, tonight is neither a silver moon nor a strong wind, but a cloudless and good weather.

Jiang Yan squatted boredly on the roof of a luxurious villa, looked up at the bright silver moon above his head, and his keen sense of smell smelled the aroma of dinner wafting from the villa window below, and couldn't help but sniff.

"Let's hurry up and get back to rest. ”

After observing the people in the villa for a while, Jiang Yan's mind moved, and the abnormal energy detection wave quietly radiated out, roughly scanning the inside and outside of this villa, focusing on the inside and outside of the wall, the ceiling, the hidden compartment that may be hidden under the floor, the basement and other places.

Soon, Jiang Yan made a discovery behind the bookshelf in the study of the male owner of the villa, and the detection wave found nothing in that location, but the result of the scan was the reaction of a strange spiritual power group, as if it was coated in a fog, and the contents inside were covered.

"Hmm...... It's worthy of being a place where earl-level nobles hide things, and it actually comes with multiple magic circles for protection?"

Jiang Yan roughly analyzed the information scanned by the detection wave, and after finding out the general composition of these magic circles and the difficulty of removing them, he decisively gave up.

If he took some time, he didn't have the confidence to crack it, but it would be difficult to restore it after cracking it.

If it is exposed afterwards, it doesn't matter if the owner of the house is here, but the dark side knows that the executor of this task is him Jiang Yan, and if you think about it again, you can know that he did the cracking of the magic circle.

"I haven't shown this ability to analyze and crack high-level multi-level magic circles to the outside world, and even in the research institute, I have only tried to decipher the most basic single-level magic circles, and it would be too ostentatious to do so at this time. ”

Jiang Yan thought about it, and felt that it seemed that the dark side didn't require him to be sure to be leaky, as long as he didn't leave a handle, it should be okay to do something too much, right?

So, he summoned a large group of Xiaobai's clones from his body, made them transparent, and went directly down the chimney into the interior of the house and came to the villa study.

Through the perspective of Xiaobai's clone, Jiang Yan looked at the bookshelves in front of him that filled the entire wall and smiled.

"Is there a hidden trigger alarm on the bookshelf? If you move the shelf without the permission of the original owner, it will be immediately sensed by the original owner. I don't need to move the shelves, though. ”

Jiang Yan controlled Xiaobai's doppelganger to transform into the shape of a long snake, and directly pierced the corner of the wall, and the tip of the long snake released corrosive liquid, which instantly turned the stone wall into a thin hole.

While continuously releasing corrosive liquid to continue to explore further inside the wall, the little white clone walked into it with a long snake-like body, and disappeared into the corner of the wall after a while.

In this way, after about half a minute, it was in front of the dark grid, separated from the safe by only one layer of protection.

When he got here, Jiang Yan no longer concealed it, and directly let Xiaobai's clone open his mouth, bite down on the magic circle at once, and then began to devour the spiritual power circulating above without any scruples!

According to Jiang Yan's detection, the energy supply core of this magic circle is placed inside, and it is not a problem to continue to resist five or six full-strength attacks of a soldier-level elf at a time, and if you count the internal energy supply, it can multiply the protection effect several times again, and the moment it is attacked, it will release an alarm to notify the owner of the house, how can it be enough to hold on until the owner of the house rushes over.

But unfortunately, it is facing Jiang Yan, who does not play cards according to common sense.

"The ability of the Devourer is really easy to use, although this magic circle is precise, but after all, it is only a non-offensive shield, then, as long as the spiritual power is violently removed, it is not difficult to break it directly, for this kind of non-lethal spiritual power, Xiaobai's appetite is very good. ”

The bitten protective magic array burst into light, and then began to flicker brightly and dimly with extremely fast efficiency, dim for a while and bright for a while, and the wisps of fluorescent spiritual power visible to the naked eye flowed quickly to the mouth of Xiaobai's clone like opening a floodgate, and disappeared into its mouth at once.

Buzz –

At the same time, a wave of spiritual power radiation with strong fluctuations erupted from the inside of the magic circle, and instantly spread throughout the entire villa.

"Who ?!!" An angry shout came from afar, accompanied by a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, like the impact of the waves.

"Ma Dan! This earl's strength is wrong, this spiritual power is already at the level of a low-level elf envoy, right?!" After Jiang Yan sensed the strength of his strength, his face changed slightly, but he was not worried much in his heart.

Anyway, before he made the move, his body had already hid on the roof of a building a hundred meters away from the villa and hidden, and the actions were all done through the ability to remotely control Xiaobai's clone, and he would not be in danger if he was exposed.
