Jas was shocked.

He had already guessed: there must be a reason for the people in front of him to pull around. But he never expected that the other party's plot was absolutely unacceptable to him.

The treasure in that chest! It was a treasure that was difficult for even ordinary mages to access, something that ordinary people could not get in their lifetime.

Jas was also lucky to get this treasure. There was an adult from the empire who was willing to pay a high price to buy something from him, which was enough to make him a fortune. It is rare that the other party chooses to pay for the purchase without robbing, if he can't bring the things to the adult...... No, as long as there is a force that intends to snatch the treasure from his own hands, he will ......

Who exactly leaked the secret? Jas thought anxiously. Faces and names popped into his mind. But first, he had to get through the odds in front of him. Maybe it was just a wonderful misunderstanding, and I told Jas that it couldn't be.

"I'm sorry, young man," he said, pretending to be calm, "I can't sell it." ”

"Price is not an issue." Goth said with a blank face.

"It's not the price, young man." Jas took a deep breath, "I've made an appointment with a friend to sell him the goods. I'm not going to be untrustworthy. ”

"I don't think that's the only way," said Goth, narrowing his eyes, "and the laws of the French state do not allow the common people to sell it privately to other countries?" ”

Jas was already in a cold sweat.

"Help......" Jas suddenly shouted. He wants to attract people as much as possible. He didn't believe that the person in front of him was a businessman at all. I am afraid that he was the messenger of a powerful man, and was ordered to take the treasure. But Jas believes that in full view of everyone, the other party still does not dare to do anything to him. Even the high-ranking mages cannot completely ignore the law.

However, Jas was not able to do it. In fact, he barely made any sound. After the first weak tone, he felt as if something had choked his voice, and no matter how hard he tried to shout, he couldn't make a sound. He pressed his neck in horror, and with all his might, all he could could do was produce some low, unmistakable hiss.

No one came. No one heard him.

"I apologize, honorable Mr. Jas." Goth sighed.

Jas felt himself stiff. He tried to stand up, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he was firmly anchored in the chair. He felt breathless and couldn't move.

It's the power of spells! Jas thought incredulously. He couldn't believe that the young man in front of him could be a real mage...... It's so rare for a mage to be so young...... Or is the other party disguised his appearance?

Jas had learned some martial arts. For those mage apprentices, he has the confidence to subdue the enemy before they can cast their first spell. Even if they were true Yunhai level mages, they couldn't use spells silently, so that they didn't even know when they were hit......

Perhaps, the person standing in front of him was not the messenger of some powerful person, or the apprentice of the mage, or even the Yunhai level mage...... This person who called himself John Goth was the powerful Blue Sky or even Blue Sea mage who wanted treasures......

That's exactly what Jass had in mind. He could no longer breathe, nor could he make any effective resistance. His limbs twitched for the last few moments, then fell silent.

He fainted.

Goth hesitated for a moment. Now, with just one thought, he can take this man's life. Even if a doctor examines Jas's body, he will only think that it was a cardiac arrest caused by chronic heart disease. However......

Finally, the young mage sighed.

"Mr. Jas," Goth smiled helplessly, "you've touched a realm you can't. But you are not the worst of sinners...... I'll just spare you your life. I also wonder who the generous buyer is. ”

The French state has a certain reward for those who take the initiative to hand over treasures. But on the contrary, the law also stipulates that after ordinary people who are not allowed to get their hands on the treasures that are not allowed to be touched by the common people, if they do not know their value and do not report them, the treasures will be confiscated and only symbolic compensation will be made; If the value is known and is not reported, the penalty is 10 years' imprisonment; Traders who engage in private conduct shall be punished heavily; Traders with foreigners are punishable by death. Goth had already figured out the details of this Mr. Jas. Even if Goth let him go now, Jas would inevitably spend the rest of his life in prison.

In Jas's current state, if he didn't let him wake up, or if a mage or priest who was more clever than himself came to his aid, he would never wake up......

Leaving the unconscious Jas aside, Goth walked into the two boxes in the corner. He opened the one above first, and inside were two silver scales, as well as some spellcasting materials. Goth estimated that the total value of these items was more than twenty gold coins, but he didn't pay any attention to it. At best, this is just a normal transaction between a merchant and a mage.

"Here." He opened the second box and smiled. He finally found what he was looking for.

An unusually delicate mahogany trunk.

If the information given by the Mercenary Guild is correct. What is hidden in this box is an important treasure. Moreover, it is precisely what the legal power lacks.

There are dozens of large and small countries in the Cloud Continent. Among them, the three most powerful kingdoms are the Okad Federation, the Erios Legacy, and the Greksia Empire.

The Okad Federation, with its largest territory and large population, is loose and chaotic, and even a civil war has broken out.

The Erios Nation has the best mage training system and the best mages, but its territory is the smallest of the three kingdoms.

And the last pole of the world, the powerful Grekha Empire, is inferior to Okad in terms of territory and inferior to Elrios in terms of the number of mages, but it is the most powerful military existence among the three kingdoms. In addition to the martial culture and the most brave and warlike army, as well as the killer existence in the army -

Secret Warrior.

For thousands of years, many mysterious magical weapons have been circulating in the land of the Empire. They are called secret weapons. Those who have been approved by the Mystic Ritual Weapon can gain extremely powerful power through mysterious rituals. Their flesh is so powerful that they can even fly through the air like mages and shoot flames—and under their leadership, the Empire has an invincible and powerful army.

Other nations envy this power of the Empire. However, the vast majority of Mystic Warriors are born Imperial nobles - it seems that only those with the blood of Imperial nobles will be selected by Mystic Ritual weapons. It is precisely because of the existence of the secret warriors that even though the ancient families of the world's countries are gradually losing power, the rule of the imperial nobles is still as solid as a rock.

The imperial principle has always restricted the marriage of nobles and foreigners. And if a commoner is favored by a secret weapon, the empire will immediately grant the status of a nobleman. There are some Mystic Weapons scattered elsewhere outside the Empire, but very few Mystic Warriors outside the Empire are born.

A handful of non-Imperial Secret Warriors have become the target of conquest by various nations: unfortunately, most of them still end up in the Empire with their companions. Mage, Priest, Mystic Warrior...... This seems to form an iron triangle of the powerhouses of the Cloud Continent.

The current Erios French Power Kingdom does not have a high-level secret warrior! According to Goth's estimates, there may be several ...... in the Occade Federation But the French state, although it also kept a few secret weapons, no one was chosen. Maybe the people of the French don't like to fight, or maybe the French don't know about the rituals related to the cultivation of secret rites...... Regardless, it's always good to get a new secret weapon.

This time, Goth also relied on his personal relationship to obtain information that Jas was carrying a secret weapon. The Elrios branch of the Mercenary Guild is closer to Elrios than the Mercenary Guild headquarters, otherwise, I'm afraid that Goth wouldn't have learned the news from Sigurt and the others so easily.

"I don't know what kind of weapon is hidden in here," Goth was in a good mood, judging the type of weapon from the shape, size, and weight of the box, "the sword? Short spear? Whip? ”

The purpose of Goth's trip is mainly to spy on Victoria, and it may be a surprise to find a secret weapon. He has seen a lot of things, and the secret ritual weapons he has seen with his own eyes are only two hands.

Goth was about to open the box, but his movements suddenly stopped. He frowned and slipped the box into his pocket—few people knew that the pockets on his robe were actually pocket-sized "dimensional bags". Any ordinary mage would salivate at the sight of the vast array of magical items hidden in it—and with an endless stream of means and stratagems, Goth survived crisis after crisis.

"Victoria!" Goth's face was calm, but his eyes were fixed on the night outside the window, "She's moving fast...... She escaped? ”
