"Protect the people of Vos!"

Hearing the alarm, the palace guards moved instantly, and quickly formed a formation to surround Raymond and the others who came to participate in the award.

The Potions Master is an important person who is protected at all times. What's more, Voss Dale is not only the president of the Potions Guild, he is also the prince with a different surname specially crowned by Salo I, and his status is extremely noble.

Someone attacked the royal palace?

The crowd thought they had misheard.

But the movement outside was getting louder and closer, and it was clear that the enemy had broken through into the palace.

At this moment,

In the entire hall, except for Raymond, everyone showed extremely shocked expressions.

Even when the Campbell royal family was destroyed in the first war, the war did not affect the palace ship island, the core of the royal capital, how could anyone attack the palace now?

Could it be that war has broken out? But why didn't the alarm go off?

If it was a small group of assassins, how did they break the ban on magic in the palace?

Daniel looked at Voss beside him in confusion and said in astonishment, "Teacher, this is...?" ”

Voss shook his head slightly, apparently unaware of the situation.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in his cloudy eyes, as if he realized something. Turning his head slightly, he saw that the young man beside him was still unfazed. Of the three awarding protagonists, only this one did not see a trace of surprise on his face, as if he had expected it.

"At this time, he is still so calm, Aldrich's disciple is really a little unpredictable..."

There was a slight strangeness in Vos's heart.

He knew very well that the magic prohibition of the royal palace was indestructible, and it was impossible to break it by external force, but now that someone had invaded the royal city, it was obvious that the murderer had been planning for a long time.

Since it is impossible for an external force to break the magic ban, then it can only be an internal problem.

Moreover, it is even more coincidental that only a few of them are outsiders in the palace today. Not long after they entered the palace on the front foot, the palace on the back foot was breached, which coincidentally made people suspicious.

At this moment, before Voss could withdraw his gaze, he suddenly looked at the young man as well, and he saw a sly smile when his eyes met.

"Tsk... This old man is quite sensitive..."

Raymond stared at Voss with a playful look on his face, and made a fist clenching and high-five motion on his chest. It's a universal gesture that means "neutral"!

"This..."

At this moment, Voss's face changed greatly, his eyes trembled, and he obviously understood, "Is it really related to him?" ”

With that sly smile, he instantly understood: Old man, don't move when you stand, or I will really kill you.

The Potions Master is a revered identity and a life-saving card.

Whether it's grievances or hatreds, or a change of dynasty. In any crisis, as long as they choose neutrality, ordinary people will not choose to kill the Potions Master. Even if they are captured by murderous pirates, Potions Masters can enjoy superior treatment that is different from ordinary meat tickets.

What's more, he is still a "national treasure-level" five-star potion master, and killing one of them with this kind of existence is a huge loss for the entire Black Sea. The low-level transcendent can't be killed, and the high-level can't be killed, who dares to guarantee that he will encounter a bottleneck one day and not have a time to ask for help?

But now, the young man in front of him actually made this "neutral" gesture for him?

"He... What the hell is he going to do? ”

In decades, Voss had never felt so in such a turbulent mood. Even if reason made him not believe the bizarre possibility that came to his mind, the facts were already in front of him.

It's crazy!

It's no wonder that in the final venue of the genius potions, he never saw any joy of winning the championship on this young man's face, nor did he see any high-spirited people who were hailed as geniuses, but instead looked like a dormant poisonous snake, the moment he showed his fangs, it was the moment he saw the fear of death.

At this moment, he finally understood!

It turned out that the young man in front of him was not interested in winning the championship at all. He just wanted to take this opportunity to be a springboard into the palace...

Oh, my God... Voss felt like he was going to suffocate.

Why did you do such a crazy thing when Heaven had given you such an amazing talent for potions?

What if you could enter the palace?

Not to mention that you are a Sequence 8 transcendent, even if there are a few more arcane transcendents, you can only hate on the spot...

Tianlan Palace, this is the strongest place in the entire royal capital!

......

The Tianlan Palace Praetorian Guard is definitely the most elite mobile force in the royal capital.

"There are three assassins... No, and a monkey! ”

"The magic ban has been reactivated, and the 'isolation plan' is now activated, the palace is locked and closed, and entry and exit are prohibited!"

"Mobile 1st Regiment, 2nd Regiment, round up the assassins, shoot and kill!"

“...”

The palace guards immediately completed their defensive deployment immediately after the attack. Naturally, they also found a certain mechanical bug that caused the temporary failure of the palace's magic forbidden cover.

A large army went to intercept the three people and one monkey assassin, and a group of elites went straight to the main hall.

"These palace guards are really quick to react..."

Raymond squinted, clearly sensing everything moving outside.

"It seems... It's time to go on a killing spree. ”

He raised his eyebrows, took out the [Sakura] from the system package, and hung it on his waist calmly. Because at this time, he had clearly sensed that the pair of elites was obviously coming for him.

Daniel, who was on the side, looked at Raymond and took out a long sword out of nowhere, and was immediately startled, and shouted angrily: "Hey, are you crazy!" The assassin has guards to arrest him, you don't need to worry about it, what are you doing with your sword, put it down! ”

He originally thought that Raymond did not understand the rules of the palace and wanted to defend himself with a weapon. But this kind of knife holding in the palace is definitely the work of a stunned fool. Far from defending yourself, this kind of behavior will only make the guards misunderstand that you are an "assassin".

“...”

Hearing this, Raymond grinned at him. But he didn't mean to put down the sword at all, but his hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and his neck writhed and clicked, as if he was doing a warm-up activity.

"Damn! You idiot, put your sword down, or you'll get into trouble..."

Daniel's face turned pale with fright, because at this time he had already seen that the palace guards around him who were originally outside the blade had pointed their weapons at a few of them.

"Ahem, ahem!"

He was about to say something, but at this time, he listened to Voss beside him cough lightly. Turning his head, he saw that his teacher's eyes were slightly closed, and he put his hands in the cuffs of the wide Potions Master's robes, putting on a look of indifference.

Obviously, the teacher was hinting at something.

"Huh?"

When Daniel saw the teacher's demeanor, he was stunned at first, thinking that he had misunderstood.

Teacher: This is... Potions' Neutral Survival Rule?

"What's going on... The teacher doesn't stop the guy who doesn't understand the rules at this time, but still waits and waits for the situation? ”

He didn't understand, but he didn't continue to speak.

Because at this time, an elite team of royal guards had already rushed into the main hall and wrapped them firmly.

Daniel saw the comer, glanced at Raymond, and cursed in his heart: "This idiot, you've caused a lot of trouble, see how you end up!" ”

......

"Fence it off!"

The leader of the Praetorian Guard is a female officer wearing dark red chain mail, and the captain of the palace guard Sequence 5 [Iron Widow] Demera. And she was accompanied by a hairless fiery red monster the size of a calf, with a bull's head and a mouth with evil teeth. This demonic beast was like a charcoal fished out of a brazier, its skin was hot and red from the heat, and the air around it was visible to the naked eye because of the high temperature.

Demira touched the beast's head as if she had received some message. She stared at Raymond standing in the crowd at a glance, numbness and coldness in her eyes.

She popped out the mechanical worm in her hand and asked directly towards Raymond, "I hope Your Excellency can explain... Why does this thing have your breath on it? ”

If someone else is not a potions master, Demira will definitely not talk nonsense and arrest people directly. But after all, Raymond is the champion of this year's "Genius Potions Master Conference", even if only one in 10,000 may be a misunderstanding, she doesn't dare to blindly arrest people.

"Yo... It's actually a strange beast 'Flame Pestle Beast'..."

Raymond was a little surprised when he saw the beast. He didn't know that there was such a flame beast in the palace. He also knew very well that he couldn't hide it, because the beast's nose was so sensitive that even the "deodorizing water" couldn't hide it from them.

Now that the mechanical bug has been found, it naturally follows the smell to find itself.

But

From the moment he stepped into the palace, Raymond didn't plan to sneak Anna out today.

Sooner or later, conflicts happen.

"Explain? Well... Probably nothing to explain. ”

Raymond stared at Demira's chain mail and pouted, slightly disgusted. This kind of woman who has trained the soft flesh of her chest into strong chest muscles is really unattractive at all.

Hearing this, Daniel's eyes on the side were about to burst out. Just now he thought that Raymond didn't understand the rules of the palace, but now it seems... I'm afraid he's crazy!

Demila's eyes shrank, raised her eyebrows and glanced at the long sword in Raymond's hand, and asked coldly, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?" ”

"It's not interesting... Originally, I wasn't going to quibble. ”

Raymond shrugged his shoulders and replied lazily, "As you might have guessed, this bug... That's what I brought in. ”

"What!"

Hearing this, Daniel on the side stared at Raymond like a ghost. At this moment, even if he was sluggish, he immediately understood! Nima, this guy didn't draw his sword to defend against assassins at all... It's that he's with the Assassins himself!

But... Is this guy crazy? Captain Demira is a top master in Sequence 5, a cold-blooded warrior known for her efforts, and she has killed countless transcendents... Where did he get the confidence to argue with this palace guard captain face to face?

"Huh!"

When Demira heard this, her face was cold and gloomy, she could wring out water, it was the first time she had seen such an arrogant assassin!

The more this is the case, the more people have to be cautious. She turned her head to look at it again and said softly, "President Voss?" ”

Voss raised his eyelids slightly, and said lightly, "I don't know." ”

Obviously, this drew a line between the Potions Guild and the Assassin. Daniel on the side realized that the hint that the teacher gave him just now meant this, and his old man had already guessed this result?!

Hearing this, Demira no longer had any scruples, and shouted: "Arrest him!" Dare to resist, don't kill! ”

Raymond in the encirclement tilted his head and glanced at the group of silver-armored guards, and he didn't see the slightest panic in his eyes from beginning to end.

He stared at Demira with a slight squint, and muttered, "Can the flesh-based transcendent of Sequence 5 be killed with one sword..."

The "Iron Widow" in the distance felt a numb back from this gaze, and horror instantly appeared on her face.

That's when Raymond made his move!

"Click!"

The cherry finches buzzed, flicked their fingers, and the red light was dazzling. Although it was an inch out of the sheath, the cherry blossom forging pattern on the sword body was clearly visible. The famous weapon came out of the sheath, and the entire hall blew a slight wave of burning air, and the Daniel people standing beside Raymond felt that the heat was rushing, as if there was a sword qi in the sky.

No one expected that this guy with few words around him could burst out with such amazing energy!

At this moment, Voss's cloudy eyes suddenly opened, revealing a look of shock. He finally understood why this young man was so calm from beginning to end, it turned out that this guy had his arrogant capital!

Voss has a secret technique of "Wangqi", which can easily see through a person's cultivation.

But at this time, he suddenly found that the momentum of the young man in front of him had changed suddenly, as if some kind of prohibition had been punctured, and his aura had burst into flames.

He's not Sequence 8 at all!

The gas was still skyrocketing, and it jumped to sequence 6 in an instant... But that's the real energy...

Oh, my God...

What kind of transcendent person is that guy, and why does he have such a terrifying true qi?!

......

The famous weapon [Sakura], which has been silent for decades, has recently become famous in the royal capital, and Demira, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, naturally knows its detailed characteristics. The moment she saw the crimson sword unsheathed, she immediately understood where the sense of crisis came from.

"Be careful! He's a ghost! ”

Finally, everyone understands where this guy's arrogance is.

It turned out that he was the assassin "ghost" who had been in the limelight in the royal capital recently!

God, he didn't kill and assassinate a few princes enough, what did he want to do now to break into the palace?

No... This madman wants to assassinate His Majesty, right?

.....

Daniel felt as if his neck was frozen somewhere, and turned his head with difficulty to look at Raymond again, as if he had seen a ghost. I thought he was just a potions genius born out of nowhere, but I didn't want him to be a famous "ghost"!

A deep sense of frustration hit my heart, potions? Hehe... That's just my side hustle. My main business is... Assassin!

At this moment, Daniel laughed miserably, it turned out that people just came to play casually and won a championship. And he lost to a guy who played tickets in the potions field that he was best at...

......

The long sword is unsheathed, and the blood is back!

"Bang!"

Raymond restrained the casualness on his face, and slammed his foot on the ground, as if the entire hall was shaking.

Everyone only felt that a fiery red figure flashed in front of them like lightning, and then they heard the cracking sound of the "click" floor in their ears, and when they looked down, the extremely hard granite floor was shattered like a spider web at this moment.

"Extreme Stream: Slash!"

The amount of true qi is extremely sufficient, and Raymond doesn't have to worry about consuming blue at all. At this moment, the true qi condensed on the surface of his body was like a substance, and the cherry blossom was poured into the red mang loudly because of the true qi, as if he had drawn out a flame long knife.

Instantly drew the knife and slashed out.

This thunder light figure was in front of him when he drew his knife, and then he looked at it, and he had already teleported out of the sheath and appeared dozens of meters away.

Demila's reaction was also extremely fast, and the moment she watched the figure in front of her disappear, her body was covered with a layer of armor as black as asphalt.

True Qi Mud Armor, Iron Widow's signature defense skill!

Roar~

And the red-skinned beast beside her smelled it. A beast roared, accompanied by a scorching wave, and the beast's mouth was like a flame spray gun, spewing out a pillar of fiery fire somewhere in the void.

The flames pierced through the figure, and the aftermath continued unabated, violently spraying on the Roman pillars in the hall, instantly burning a scorched black.

Hit?

It's over!

Even if the "ghost" is hit, it will definitely be melted by this heat!

But in the next moment, before the joy on the face of the Praetorian Gate overflowed, he watched the sword-wielding figure hit by the pillar of fire collapse and disperse like a reflection in the water.

"It's not good, it's still a phantom!"

Demira had so much combat experience, why didn't she understand that the chilling sword aura on her side that made people's hair stand on end could definitely threaten her life!

"Humph! Two teleportations... Since we only know your killer weapon, how can we be completely defenseless! ”

At this moment, she reacted extremely quickly, raised her hand to block, and the black mud armor on her right arm became thicker and thicker, hardening instantly.

Almost at the same time, a knife slashed in the arm.

"Khooth!"

The crimson long sword slashed at her left arm, and the blade sank into the black plaster-like armor, as if cutting into an extremely dense substance, unloading the force layer by layer, this menacing knife was actually instantaneous.

"Got you, ghost!" Demira was not surprised. This liquid armor of his own is a high-density true vaporization armor that has been condensed for more than ten years, and it is difficult for guns and cannons to hurt, how can it be so easily cut by a light sword?

What's more, as long as any blade touches this True Qi armor, it will immediately be stuck by it, and he will not want to break free again.

"Hey, hey... Really? ”

Raymond grinned at her with white teeth, and suddenly slammed the long knife in his hand. The true qi that was overflowing like a flame a moment ago was instantly retracted at this moment, and a layer of flame armor was condensed!

"True Vaporization Armor, Sequence 6 Transcendental!" Isn't the Ghost a swordsman in Sequence 8, how could it suddenly become Sequence 6? And... His power... How could it be so terrifying! ”

Damn, what the hell is the intelligence service doing, the dangerous assessment of the "ghost" clearly does not match the report.

This guy in front of him is too powerful.

Demira scolded angrily in her heart.

She didn't have time to react before despair appeared in her eyes. The two-stage strength of the mountains and seas instantly broke through her true qi armor and drove straight in.

The incomparably sharp sword qi was cutting through the black armor, and before the piercing pain could be transmitted back to her brain, the sharp sword qi condensed at the edge of the knife came out of her body, and her body was slashed with a "bang".

"Heh..."

Demila's dagger, which was clenched in his hand and was ready to fight back, also fell to the ground... Half of his body slipped to the ground, blood gushing wildly, and life was cut off.

"Captain Demira was actually killed..."

"Oh my God... The ghosts are terrifying..."

"The captain can't stop him, are we going to die..."

“...”

The guards were horrified in their hearts, and the ruthless method of killing everyone was instantly suppressed.

No one expected that the captain of the palace guard, a top transcendent in Sequence 5, would be killed in one face.

The rich smell of blood wafted throughout the hall,

Voss slowly closed his eyes.

And Daniel on the side was already frightened, and he felt like he was going to live for the rest of his life.

I just had... actually scolded such a terrifying existence?

......

[Sakura] saw the demon that the blood was getting redder and redder, and the blood beads that had not been evaporated by the high temperature dripped down the blade of the sword and fell to the ground.

"The transcendent of ordinary sequence 5, that's it..."

The long sword was not sheathed, and Raymond ignored the people in the hall anymore, and calmly picked up the sword and went out.

I don't know when,

Outside the main hall, dark clouds were already thick, and a gentle gray rain was falling in the sky.

He glanced at the raindrops, and then he silently recited in his heart.

"Finally, a master is here..."

In the midst of the rain, a few figures with a strong breath slowly walked out.

A steam mechanic with a mechanical skeleton, a combat doctor, an iron-handed man with long pigtails, a white-robed mage, and of course... There is also an assassin who appears from time to time even in the domineering perception of seeing and hearing.

"CP9's captain-level combat power... I didn't expect there to be five hidden in this palace, it's really a bit tricky..."

Raymond knows two of them, and their identities are revealed in the game.

Sequence 5 Devil Fruit Ability, [Chameleon] Arden Matvey!

Sequence 5 [Great Elemental], Elemental Water Method, Adolf Miles!

The secret identity of these two is the captain of CP9.

Then the remaining three... Even if it's not, it's pretty much it.
