After posting a bounty in the Assassins' Guild, Dio went straight to the Thieves' Guild, where he also posted a bounty in the Thieves' Guild. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Somewhat differently, Dio did not pay for a magic weapon in the Thieves' Guild's bounty mission, but instead increased the bounty for the mission.

Three thousand gold coins!

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward! What's more, professionals who choose to become notorious "thieves" are often more greedy than ordinary people.

Therefore, Dio believes that this cost-effective bounty task should be enough to make many thieves tempted.

What's more, Dio's mission in the Thieves' Guild is much simpler than the one in the Assassins' Guild: as long as he can find out the whereabouts of Bloodblade and the others.

In this way, I believe that under the carpet search of the thieves who heard the news, the Thieves Guild should be able to find the Blood Blade and others one step earlier than the people of the Assassin Guild. After that, the assassins who got the news from the traitors in the Thieves' Guild should also be able to keep an eye on Bloody Blade and the others.

However, after the bounty was issued, Dio, who had left the Thieves' Guild, ran into a little trouble.

"Really, there are too many people who want money and don't want to die."

After crushing the wrist of the third thief who tried to touch his wallet, looking at the other thieves hiding in the crowd, Dio sighed helplessly: "Knowing that I am a legendary powerhouse, there are still so many thieves eyeing me?" ”

Yes, even though Dio had already made clear himself as a legendary powerhouse when he released the bounty mission, there were still many, many thieves who did not intend to complete the bounty and instead set their sights on him.

This made Dio cry and laugh very much.

Although in history, there is indeed a record of legendary powerhouses being stolen by thieves. However, Dio is not one of those legendary warriors with low perception and sloppy personality. Stealing a wallet from him would be harder than stealing a legendary magician's wallet.

"I don't have that spare time to play with you."

After glancing again at the thieves who thought they were hiding well, but in fact had obvious anomalies in Dio's perception range, Dio shook his head and spread a pair of black wings.

Then, under the unknown exclamations of the civilians and the "farewell" of the thieves who jumped out from all corners, Dio flew straight into the sky, straight towards the Testrosa family's manor.

Soon after, after successfully getting rid of the thieves who were in hot pursuit, Dio returned to the manor safely, but learned a somewhat strange news from James.

"You mean, the generals of the Mantes Empire are preparing to negotiate peace with the Flame Grand Duke?"

Dio looked at James sitting on the other end in some surprise, and a lot of question marks appeared on his head: "Have those people been kicked in the head by a donkey?" ”

You know, even if Lias has thrown a real forbidden spell at the heads of the troops of the Mantes Empire, the casting of the forbidden spell depends on many conditions. Therefore, forbidden spells are actually more suitable for defensive battles than offensive ones.

Because of this, the current situation is still dominated by the side of Mantes, who has already fought under the fortress of Tux. In this case, the Mantes Empire is planning to hold peace talks? This really makes one have to doubt the authenticity of this news.

"It is said that it is because the offensive is so smooth that the Mantes Empire has occupied much more territory than imagined, so the Mantes Empire is now somewhat unable to control the situation in the occupied area." James shook the goblet gently, his eyes kept looking at the red wine in the glass, but his mouth said a little casually: "Therefore, the Mantes military, who decided to digest the results of the battle first, planned to conduct peace talks." ”

Although, like Karen, both James and Anne have lost all their strength after the resurrection. However, James is Aisha's father after all, so he quickly took over a considerable part of the power from Aisha's hands, and successfully activated the intelligence network that Aisha did not know much about and originally belonged to the Testrosa family.

And the news James said was obtained by relying on the family's intelligence network.

"I think the news is ...... A little off. ”

Dio shrugged his shoulders and replied naturally, "It's a bit strange to think about peace talks at this juncture. ”

In any case, James is Aisha's father, so Dio naturally gives him enough respect. Except for some secrets that I really don't know how to explain, Dio basically answers James' questions.

In contrast, James also gave Dio and Theresa enough respect, so the two got along quite happily.

"Well, the quality of this bottle of red wine is pretty good."

After taking a sip of red wine, James smiled and pushed the bottle towards Dio before saying, "...... That's what I thought about the news. In other words, as long as there is a long brain, no one will believe that the Mantes Empire sincerely wants peace talks. However, in the face of the invitation to peace talks sent by the Mantes Empire, no matter how reluctant the Grand Duke of Flame was, he had to pretend first. ”

After all, all nobles value reputation very much. Therefore, in the face of such a formal invitation, no matter how unhappy the Grand Duke of Flame is, he has to follow first.

"Therefore, we have a temporary truce with the Mantes Empire."

James put down his glass and said solemnly.

"Thanks, but I can't drink."

After declining James's kindness, Dio frowned and said, "I think the Mantes Empire is probably just trying to delay time." After all, not only are we not very prepared for this war, but the Mantes Empire is probably not very well prepared. ”

"Well, that's a possibility, too."

James nodded, then sat up straight, and looked at Dio very seriously: "However, I'm more worried that the Mantes Empire will take advantage of this gap to make some small moves!" And in their target, you and Teresa, who have been in the limelight in the previous battles, should have a high priority! So, I think it's important to keep you informed of this news in a timely manner! And in the coming period, you and Theresa will probably have to be a little more careful. ”

"I see."

Dio nodded and replied confidently, "However, Teresa will stay with Aisha in the manor for the rest of the year." As for me when I'm out, I also have some ability to save my life! So, we shouldn't have to worry about our safety! ”

"Is that so? That's good, that's good. ”

James, who had a serious face just now, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Dio's answer.

After learning that their daughter would be the future savior, the James couple were very worried.

Like Dio, the James couple understood that although the name "Savior" was very loud, the meaning it represented was very heavy. If something really goes wrong in this world, Aisha, as the savior, is very likely to lose her life!

So during this period of time, although they didn't show anything in front of Aisha, behind the scenes, the James couple was very worried about Aisha's future.

However, the James couple, who have lost all their strength, have no ability to protect Aisha at all. Therefore, as a father, James is re-practicing magic, and at the same time, he activates the intelligence network of the Testrosa family as quickly as possible, trying to give Dio and others some help in terms of intelligence. Lady Anne, on the other hand, worked hard to cultivate her magic and taught Aisha all kinds of combat experience.

With Lady Anne's teachings, although Aisha has not yet broken through the seventh-order level, she has already made great strides in terms of spell casting awareness and so on.

And the worries of the James couple, of course, Dio and Teresa also saw it. Therefore, during this time, Teresa directly took over Dio's task and has been following Aisha inch by inch. Dio, who has always been passively guarding Aisha's side, is taking the initiative to attack, intending to solve some potential troubles for Aisha first.

Although the goals of the two sides are somewhat different, they do not want Aisha to have an accident. So the James couple and Dio and Teresa have done a lot of preparations.

For the next two days, nothing major happened.

The Assassins' Guild's Custer City branch released Dio's bounty as quickly as possible after their leader's return Ansan. Countless assassins who were moved by this flocked to search for the whereabouts of Bloody Blade and the others.

The Thieves' Guild also made similar moves, and the two dark forces were fighting for a group of killers, leaving the major forces who noticed their unusual behavior a little confused.

But what made Dio and James frown a little was that under the full search of the Thieves' Guild and the Assassins' Guild, Bloodblade and the others seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they never missed their whereabouts.

This made the high-ups of the Assassin Guild and the Thieves Guild, who had repeatedly confirmed that the target he was looking for indeed exist, feel gloomy.

Therefore, it is very rare for them to temporarily join forces and launch a larger and more detailed search. However, so far, the two guilds have still not been able to discover the whereabouts of Bloodblade and others.

On the other hand, to everyone's surprise, the peace talks between the Mantes Empire and the Flame Grand Duke went quite smoothly.

Although Mantes's side was sometimes annoyed by the opening of the lion of the Flame Archduke, and the Flame Archduke sometimes left the table in anger because of the brazenness of the Mantes Empire, the peace talks between the two sides went smoothly and smoothly in the midst of everyone's incomprehensible attention.

Even, five days after Dio issued the bounty task at the two guilds, with the Mantes Empire making a large concession, the peace talks had come to an end smoothly.

At present, both sides are only arguing over trivial matters, and in two days at most, the peace talks should be smoothly concluded.

But at this moment, in the capital of the Mantes Empire, there was an undercurrent that began to surge.

In the depths of an underground base, a girl named Nicole hurried to a door. After three detailed inspections, Nicole always opened the door at the end of the hallway, always under the watchful eyes of the six guards.

After closing the door with her backhand, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. After wiping the cold sweat from her forehead and tidying up her clothes, Nicole continued to move forward without hurrying.

After opening two more doors, Nicole finally found her immediate boss.

“Boss！ There is urgent news from the front that the peace talks with the Flame Grand Duke will be completely concluded tomorrow afternoon! ”

Standing up straight, Nicole stared at the mysterious figure sitting behind a long table, and uttered a piece of information that was spoken clearly and in a moderate volume at a slow pace.

"Good."

The masked man sitting behind the long table nodded, and said with a smile: "Then, you can notify the first special task force and those supernumerary members to carry out the next round of operations!" ”

Looking at the masked man who seemed to be in a good mood, Nicole hesitated for a moment and then said with some hesitation: "Boss, is it really appropriate to hand over such an important task to those supernumerary members?" ”

The masked man was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Nicole coldly.

A lot of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Nicole's back, but she still tried her best to keep her face calm and quietly looked at the masked man.

"You're also saying that those supernumeraries are really not very reliable."

The masked man withdrew his gaze and said very calmly, "After all, when they joined the Einsatzgruppen, they came with other purposes!" However, that's a legendary combat power! Even if they have ulterior motives, we really don't have a better 'knife' at hand. ”

"But will they really be able to get it?"

Nicole said slowly, "If they don't succeed......"

"It doesn't matter."

The masked man sneered, "With their strength, even if the mission fails, they should be able to hit the target hard." After that, the hunting team will make up the knife in time! ”

A hunting squad dedicated to hunting the strong?

Nicole gasped.

"Of course, I'm still very optimistic about their strength!"

The masked man whispered, "The last time they tried their hand, they did it well!" And they've already missed a shot in the assassination of their target. Therefore, in order to be able to successfully complete their mission, they will definitely work hard to complete this task, and then apply for support from us! So we don't have to worry that they won't be desperate enough in this mission......"

Looking at the sneer at the corner of the masked man's mouth, Nicole nodded, and then exited the room in a bit of a panic.

"Loyalty is enough, but the ability is still a little lacking."

Looking at the departing Nicole, the masked man slowly shook his head: "Don't worry, I still have a lot of time." ”

"Hehe, hey, hey, hahahaha......"
