As the "click" sound came out of the black mist, the water elemental not far from Yuri and Karin also directly disintegrated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Obviously, the demonized Arudo is probably dead.

Yuri and Karin glanced at each other, and they both quickly rushed to Melia's side. Although Melia has been injured, staying by her side can still make these two little rookies feel a lot more at ease.

Melia, on the other hand, kept squinting her eyes and staring closely at the slowly spreading black mist.

How strong is the demonized Arudo, Melia, who has fought with him, knows best: the demonized Arudo, who can defeat the sixth-order powerhouse with a single blow, is afraid that he has reached the strength of the seventh order or above!

And such a demonized Arudo was easily killed without any resistance in this black mist. So, how powerful will this strong man in the black fog be?

The peak of the ninth order? Or is it ...... Legend?

Either way, this kind of strong man was definitely not something that Melia and the others, who were now injured, could withstand......

Under the gaze of Melia and the others, who were a little worried, the black fog that was originally expanding suddenly shrank inward and quickly disappeared into Dio's hands.

And beside Dio, who was tidying up his clothes, there was no demonized Arudo, only the shriveled corpse of "Viscount Bolton", which had drained his life force, fell to the ground.

Arudo's corpse disappeared out of thin air.

After tidying up his clothes, Dio swaggered towards Melia and the others, which lifted the hearts of the two rookie assassins beside Melia. Without waiting for Melia to speak, they quickly set up a stance, ready to meet at any moment.

"We ...... Doesn't seem like an enemy, right? Dio stopped and shrugged helplessly.

"It's hard to say...... Who the hell are you? Melia suddenly glared at Dio.

"Would you believe me if I said that I was just a soy sauce maker passing by by chance?" Dio spit out a groan, how could he honestly tell his identity.

"I don't know what soy sauce is. But I know that the Hidden Blade in your hand belongs to one of our companions! Melia also quickly put on a posture and glared at Dio, "It's unlikely, but I still want to ask...... You're probably the kid! ”

Hearing Melia's words, Yuri and Karin's eyes widened. As for the "kid" Melia mentioned, all they could think of was the one they had met in the city not long ago!

"Huh?" Dio narrowed his eyes and looked at the Hidden Blade in his hand, "So this thing is showing a flaw." ”

"That's right! All Hidden Blades are unique, and the unique markings on them are a testament to the identity of our Assassins. Melia's eyes grew colder and colder as she glared at Dio, "You're holding Jenny's Hidden Blade and you're here again, so I'm guessing you might be the kid!" ”

"Hmm...... Don't you think you know too much? Dio's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Melia in turn.

"Although you took Jenny's Hidden Blade, Jenny who woke up has already told us that you were giving her first aid at the time." Seeing Dior's expression, Melia's tone suddenly softened a lot, "Coupled with this situation, we can indeed be sure that you have no malicious intent." However, I still want to know how you know our goal even though the black letter has not been opened! ”

"That's my unique skill, you can't learn it." Dio shrugged, "Besides, I'm not from the Thieves' Guild or the Killer Guild, I'm just a lone ranger, so you don't have to worry about the Black Letter being cracked by those two guilds." ”

The Black Letter of the Assassin Guild was not only written in codes, but also contained various magical seals on it. If it weren't for Bart, Dio wouldn't have been able to tell what was written on it, even if he had gotten the black letter.

Hearing Dio's answer, Yuri and Karin breathed a sigh of relief: in their opinion, a powerful being like Dio must not disdain to lie to a small character like them.

Melia, however, noticed something else.

"You...... Not a member of a guild? Melia looked at Dio in disbelief. The three guilds in the shadows are powerful because they hold the cultivation paths of assassins, killers, and thieves, respectively. It can be said that all the assassins, killers, and thieves on the continent of Spera are from the three major guilds.

However, in front of Melia's eyes, Dio, an outlier who did not belong to the three major guilds, suddenly shocked Melia.

As for the dumbfounded Yuri and Karin, well, let's ignore them.

"In that case, would you like to ......," Melia hurriedly spoke, but she was only halfway through her sentence when she was intercepted by Dio.

"Excuse me!" Dio glanced at Melia coldly and glared at her so that she closed her mouth, "I don't plan to join any guild to add another layer of restraint to myself. ”

Melia wanted to persuade a few more words, but Dio forcibly changed the topic: "Originally, the reason why I came here was because I was angry with you, so I wanted to take away your mission goal first." Unfortunately, I ran into this incident. ”

Dio pulled out the recording crystal and released Viscount Burton's last words. Before Melia and the others could finish watching the "magic video", Dio spoke: "Obviously, your Assassins' Guild has been used, and Iger, the priest of the Holy White Church that Viscount Bolton said, may also have a problem. But I don't bother to pay attention to any of this, so you can figure it out for yourself. ”

"Now, you can rest here for a while, I'll have something to look for you later." Without waiting for Melia and the others to answer, Dio turned his head and left.

"Well, Melia, is that really okay?" Looking at the back of Dio's departure, Karin said with some hesitation, "According to the rules of the guild, the content of the black letter is absolutely not allowed to be exposed, right?" ”

"Yes, but the black letter doesn't really matter." Melia shook her head, "Even if we don't get the Black Letter, after we get it, the other forces will be able to understand who the target is written in the Black Letter." Therefore, the Black Letter is really just a tool used by the Assassin Guild to deter other forces. In contrast, a strong person who does not have a specific affiliation is more important to us! ”

Due to a previous war, the Assassin Guild is now dead and in dire need of new blood. This is the reason why an A-level assassin is required to assassinate a Viscount of Bolton, and the Brotherhood of the Woods can't find a more suitable candidate.

And a strong person like Dio is obviously a suitable target, so Melia, who has a strong sense of identification with the Assassin Guild, wants to recruit Dio for the guild. In contrast, Yuri and Karin were quite jealous of the mysterious Dio, but before the three of them could discuss a result, Dio, who had been scraped in the manor, returned to the hall.

Interrupting the topic of Melia and the others, who were discussing fiercely, Dioschran said: "I'll just ask for directions, you should know where the local underground black market is, right?" ”

"Of course, we can take you there!" Melia looked at Dio and said with some respect.
