Chapter 256: The Man in Black
Although the Black Mi Organization is secretive and rigorous, it is not a completely closed dark organization, and they also have a bounty list similar to the mission list, in addition to the huge reward tasks for the designated core members, there are also many tasks that the peripheral members can accept.
People with a certain status know that Heimi exists, and they can also contact Heimi through some methods, and people or organizations with status can naturally release exclusive tasks that must be completed, but more people put the tasks on the bounty list.
The quests on the bounty list are public quests, which can be taken by any member of Kurya at will, and most of them have no requirements to complete, and they can abandon the quest at any time when they think they can't be completed, which is very different from exclusive quests.
Depending on the nature of the mission, the rewards can vary dramatically.
If you only look at the Heimi bounty list, excluding Heimi's commission, the rewards are far inferior to the task list of the Thieves Guild and the Mercenary Guild, if this is not one of the ways to rise to the core members of Heimi, many people in the dark world will not mix on the Heimi bounty list.
For Kuromi, the bounty list is also one of the ways to distinguish between core members and peripheral members, who cannot accept exclusive tasks.
And the black-clothed man with red eyes was one of the core members in the memories of those Heimi members, and he was a very famous core member, and the other party never let people see his true face in the process of completing the task.
But the strange thing is that in the memories of the core members of Heimi, the man in black seems to have found a well-qualified heir a while ago, and the other party has half-given up the task and turned to carefully teaching that heir.
The man in black is very famous in Heimi because of his unique style of acting, so this matter is widely spread in the Heimi organization.
And it is rumored that the heir of the man in black seems to have a very difficult identity, and the top management of the organization seems to be interested in supporting the other party, and without even requiring the other party to join the organization, they provide the other party with a lot of resources to assist in growth.
In the memories of the core members of Heimi, the man in black did not accept any task after that, even if a dignitary personally identified the man in black, he never accepted any task.
But for Rod, it is indeed true that he was attacked, and it is clear from his memory that the other party is indeed a man in black, and his style of action is indeed the same.
"Harahara, this is really strange, a person who has no longer accepted the task suddenly ran out to kill us, and the second bullet was clearly seen, but it went straight to Simone."
Gray gas loomed at the corners of Daphne's mouth, attached to her teeth, turning into gargoyle-like gray fangs, like a hunter who couldn't wait, and looked cruelly at the two people lying on the ground.
"No clue."
Marianne shook her head in a daze, looked at the other two kneeling on the ground, and pointed at her.
"Why don't you try?"
Simone glanced at the two kneeling and shook her head slightly, she was quite confident in the torture technique, she didn't believe that they were hiding anything, and judging from the style of action of the man in black, there should be no handle left.
But there are exceptions to everything, and Simone was never so arrogant that she thought she could see through everything, so she nodded slowly.
Rhodes thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "Let's try, it's enough to have a mercenary group and a thief group as victims of a show of force, and it doesn't matter if these two leaders have an accident." ”
Saying this, without waiting for the two to beg for mercy, the magic power overflowed from Rod's right hand, turning into two tentacles that wrapped the heads of the two, and after a while, they let go of their heads, and the two rolled their eyes and fainted, Rod shook his head regretfully, and sure enough, there was no relevant information.
Simone coughed twice, her eyes flashed with golden flames, sometimes turning into the appearance of the man in black, sometimes turning into the appearance of Rod: "This is the result of a long time ago, if the man in black really intends to kill us, then the other party will definitely appear again, and it will inevitably show flaws after the number of times, and then it will be our chance to play." ”
"Harahara, Simone is really cunning, she actually wants to use her immortality to force the other party to show her flaws."
"Good idea."
Simone smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, although I don't know what the reason is, as long as the other party wants to kill us, forced to kill us, as long as we release the news of how we will die as bait, the other party may reveal flaws, that is our chance." ”
Rod nodded thoughtfully, the royal capital has four gates and four directions, and candidates from all over the country will enter the royal capital gate from these four directions.
In order to respond to problems in all directions in a timely manner, in the eyes of most people, the four of them inevitably need to be separated.
After all, bandits don't wait for anyone, if they still investigate first and then transmit like today, I'm afraid that the candidate's corpse will be cold, and in order to ensure the safety of the candidate, timeliness becomes very important.
Although it is not impossible to solve this problem, such as summoning tens of millions of puppets.
But in the presence of international journalists and envoys from various countries, Rhodes could not summon tens of millions of battle puppets to surround the king.
If he could do that, Rhodes would only need to summon enough battle puppets to block the roads along the way, and the royal capital would be surrounded by patrol puppets to keep all the candidates safe.
In that case, even the birds would never be able to escape Rod's eyes.
But I also know that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to be allowed.
Not to mention what international journalists and envoys from various countries think of the Kingdom of Sartre at that time, even a king with a good face and a reputation will not allow him to do such a thing.
Even if the king could not do it, it would never be possible for him to entrust such a showy and prestigious thing to him at such a time.
Protecting the candidates, the four of them will surely spread a great reputation among the candidates, and most of these candidates are the future pillars of the country.
This time, the candidate is currently one of Sartre III's forbidden ones, and Sartre III will never allow things to go wrong in this regard.
Even if it is the loss of some candidates, it doesn't matter, but these candidates can only have the figure of the king in their hearts, and before the dragon pattern forms a sufficient influence, no one else can be allowed to enter the hearts of the candidates.
That's probably some of the king's thoughts.
Therefore, the four of Rhodes must guard the gate of the Quartet separately and be on standby to rescue the candidates at any time.
And that's the opportunity.
If deliberately done, there are countless opportunities for this.
The Man in Black would never let go of such an opportunity.
Because the second bullet of the man in black just now was obviously aimed at Simone, that is, the man in black had already decided that Rod had died just now.
Then when they find that Rhodes appears in front of the crowd intact, they must try to attack, and it is best to catch the man in black at this time, and if they can't catch the man in black, then the man in black will definitely discover their immortality, and this is an opportunity they can take advantage of.
"It's better not to leave any little tails behind."
Somehow, Rod remembered the figure of the left and right ministers in his mind, the left minister had been accepted by the Alan Kingdom, and the right minister was exterminated by him, but one of the heirs of the right minister was rescued by Heimi.
The man in black seems to have a high status in the black mi, maybe he knows something, if he can find clues, he will definitely solve this problem this time.
He didn't want to put off a strong opponent for a few years.
