"Who issued the commission to keep an eye on the couple and their daughter from the Guta Fortress?"

Listening to the other party's words, a smile appeared on Nick's face.

It was an elegant smile that was ridiculous for the ignorance and stupidity of the other person.

It's like caring for a child with intellectual disabilities.

Looking at the person in front of him with Sain's hideous face, although Nick didn't know who the other party really was, and he didn't know the specific gender of the other party, it didn't prevent him from feeling that the other party's behavior was really ridiculous.

Then, Nick spoke.

"Since you are able to disguise yourself as Sean, then it proves that Sean and Dami have fallen to you...... No, it's 'yours' in your hands? Nick emphasized the word "you", and a smug look appeared on his face, as if everything was under his control.

Su Yan looked at each other with an idiotic look on his face.

But this expression, to Nick's eyes, seemed to be shocked by his reasoning.

"Surprised?" Nick grinned.

He doesn't have the insidious and cunning feeling of the Thieves' Guild that hides itself in the shadows like other branch leaders, and although the image of ruthlessness and ruthlessness and cruelty is also retained, Nick gives people more of that wanton flamboyance, as if he is very dissatisfied with lurking in the shadows.

"Sain's strength, I know very well that in the whole of Shandu, there is no candidate who is his opponent. Even if even ten people like you attack together, they may not be able to subdue him. Nick said with a smile, looking extremely proud, "So if you want to subdue Sain alone, it is absolutely impossible." What's more, there is also a Dami. …… He may not be the strongest, but he is definitely the most astute, and no disturbance can hide his attention. ”

Dami is the most astute?

Su Yan thought for a moment.

The guy who was the first to be subdued by him didn't even notice his approach. Moreover, in Su Yan's original plan, the other party was just a prop used to lure Sein to deceive the enemy.

“…… Therefore, the only one who can subdue Sean and Dami is 'you'. Nick's face still had that smug look on his face as if he had everything under control, "I know that this couple from Guta Fortress must not be simple. Therefore, it is only natural that there will be one or two hero-level powerhouses behind the protection of the back. …… However, I don't care, because this is Shandu, and your opponent is the Thieves' Guild, and it's me, the murder knife. Nick! ”

The environment of the eastern region is destined to have a kind of toughness that other regions do not have.

Especially the closer to the edge of the East Forest, the stronger the folk customs.

After all, the former Dongsen was also the territory of the Kingdom of Tria. It was the elves of the Council of the Elders who migrated and fought with the East for ten years before they were finally ceded by the Kingdom of Tria. But this incident is a shame for the entire eastern realm - in the territory ruled by the four border dukes of the Tria Kingdom, only the eastern frontier failed to drive the strong enemy away, but instead wanted to cede the land and pay reparations.

It is precisely because of this history of shame that the eastern border has developed today's fierce folk customs.

Especially those who lived through the years of war with the Council of Elders, their children and grandchildren have stronger temperaments than others.

Nick, his grandfather was the soldier who survived the most difficult of those decades.

So Nick, who has been honed by various war knowledge since he was a child, has stronger strength than others.

The murder knife is the name he broke out of as an adult.

Now more than twenty years have passed, and the young Nick has become a middle-aged man, but his name as a murderous knife has not been washed away by time, but has become more powerful: the Eastern Murder Knife is the head of the Thieves Guild, one of the four major branches in the Eastern Territory, the Shandu Branch.

Before Su Yan came to the Eastern Border, he had learned some noteworthy people from Antia about the Eastern Border.

Among them, there is this branch head.

"I can give you a chance." Nick looked at Su Yan, then said with a smile, "Your ability is very special, and it is of great value to our Thieves Guild. So if you're willing to join our Thieves' Guild, then I'll be okay with the past. …… Of course, you'll have to take me back to Sain and Dami. You know, these two are not only my henchmen, but also the trump cards of our Shandu Thieves Guild. ”

Su Yan sighed softly.

This action made Nick can't help but raise his eyebrows.

His face showed a little dissatisfaction.

The coercion belonging to the hero-level powerhouse began to emanate from his body, and then suppressed towards Su Yan.

Mental deterrence.

This is a technique used by heroic-level powerhouses, although it is not mature in use, but it is definitely enough to deter people whose strength is not as strong as heroic-level powerhouses.

And Nick, the murder knife that fought out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. Nick, although he only has the strength of a median hero, among all the hero-level powerhouses in the Eastern Realm, there are definitely few who can confront his spiritual coercion head-on. Even if it is the branch leader of the Mercenary Guild, another major force in Shandu, when Nick is angry, he can only choose to retreat.

"It seems that you are not going to cherish the opportunity I have given you."

"A thousand faces." Su Yan spoke.

"What?" Nick was a little unresponsive, so much so that the angry expression on his face stiffened slightly.

But the next moment, Su Yan had already made a move.

His right hand slammed into Nick's face, but the latter had already sensed the surging of the air, so in the next moment, he had already leaned back to dodge Su Yan's attack. Even, his right hand suddenly raised, and a cold light had completely emanated, shooting towards Su Yan.

Cold, sharp, and even with a strong smell of blood.

It is the "smell" emitted by this cold light.

However, the cold light that shot out did not achieve the result that Nick expected.

But his body has long been accustomed to various combat environments and techniques, but after a backward lean, the whole person flipped at the same time, and then quickly drew his sword.

Being able to become the strongest person in the entire mountain, or even enough to compete for the strongest title in the entire Eastern Realm, Nick is naturally good in terms of strength, reaction, or others.

But.

When he was ready to strike again, there was still an unconcealable look of surprise on his face.

Standing in front of him is no longer "Sain", but another "Nick"!

Whether it is his appearance, or demeanor, and even his clothes, the momentum and temperament exuded from his body, etc., are exactly the same as himself. If it weren't for Nick knowing that he was the real branch leader of the Santo Thieves Guild, he would have even thought that the person in front of him was the real Nick.

Soon, however, Nick noticed the only difference between the person in front of him who was impersonating himself and his real self.

Weapons.

The chopping blade in his hand is specially customized.

It has his personal mark on it.

And the person in front of him who pretended to be himself, although the weapon in his hand was also a cutting blade, but it could be seen at a glance that it belonged to the standard product forged by the blacksmith shop.

"A thousand faces." Nick chewed on the name, or codename.

He probably already understood the meaning of these two words.

"So, Sain and Dammy ......" Nick looked at each other with a solemn face.

He used to think that the opponent couldn't subdue Sain, and that was because the momentum shown by the opponent was only a candidate.

But at this moment, the other party is showing the slightest momentum that is not below him, which is enough to prove that he is capable of subduing Sain.

As for the momentum is faked?

Nick wasn't that stupid.

Even if the sword aura he suddenly emitted just now was not his full strength, it was definitely not something that ordinary candidates could withstand. Even if Sain, who is known as the strongest candidate in the mountains, comes, he will look very embarrassed, and even pay a small price.

But now, the person who claimed to be a thousand faces was unscathed, which is enough to prove that the other party is a real hero-level powerhouse.

"Dead." Su Yan replied directly.

Nick's pupils shrank suddenly.

The next moment, with a heavy weight, he suddenly pulled out his knife.

The screeching sound of the blade rubbing against the scabbard suddenly sounded.

And the moment the blade came out of its sheath, the cold light suddenly erupted.

"Combat skills. Break the air! ”

A cold sword aura burst out of the air!

However, the next moment, the same sword qi also burst out from Su Yan's direction.

Then the two knife qi that rolled up in the room collided together in an instant.

There was no deafening roar, but a terrifying fierce wind raged out.

The tables and chairs in the entire room were immediately shattered as if they were extremely terrible, and they were torn apart in an instant.

However, as the two warring parties, they simply ignored the residual sword qi that was scattered.

Instead, they rushed towards each other at an astonishing speed.

The blade, which had been unsheathed at some point, was pulled out again in the rapid movement of the two of them.

"Combat skills! Knife Drawing! ”

The same soft cheer!

Same knife drawing!

Without the slightest accident, the two blades collided with each other.

When sparks burst out on the intersecting blades, the frenzied air flow centered on the two of them suddenly burst out.

In an instant, the walls, ceiling, and floor of the entire room were all cracked.

And those who have long been "limb. The tables and chairs that had been untied turned into powder in an instant, floating throughout the room.

Nick's face, at this time, appeared with an unbelievable look of horror.

A thousand faces!

Not only can you disguise yourself as another person perfectly without revealing the slightest flaw, but you can even learn the combat skills that the other party has mastered?

Or is Senmian just as good at swordsmanship as he is?

Nick can't confirm.

Because no one cares more about the word "intelligence" than he, who is the head of the Shandu branch of the Thieves Guild.

"Who the hell are you!?"

"A thousand faces." Su Yan said coldly again.
