White Rock City, market area.

There is a shop that operates a pawn and money lending business, it has a strange name, called 'Pawn Fish', when you walk into the store, the guys are honest, the boss is kind and kind, they are all ordinary people, and they should be serious businessmen.

But the outside is just a disguised face, and there is a mystery hidden in this shop.

The second floor of the shop is the bedroom of the pawnshop owner and his buddy, and everything looks normal on the surface, but as long as you look closely, you can find that the area on the second floor seems to be a little smaller, but it is impossible to say where it is specific.

On this day, the business in the pawn fish is as light as usual, which is also normal, their line of business, it was originally not open for half a year, open for half a year, open for half a year, occasionally, someone will enter the store, it seems to be to talk about business.

But if you look closely, you can find a strange phenomenon, that is, these people only enter and do not leave, and there is no figure of the person in the store, and those who enter the store seem to have evaporated out of thin air.

Where did the people go? No one cares, most of the people in the market area are outsiders, and the locals are busy doing business.

At this time, another mysterious man wearing an all-gray cloak came, and when he arrived at the shop, a hoarse voice came from under the cloak: "Shadows cover the world!" ”

Hearing this, the kind-eyed pawnshop owner stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and at the same time whispered, "My lord, please here." ”

The man nodded lightly and walked up the stairs that led to the second floor.

On the second floor, along the corridor to the end, in front of the wall, the man stopped, stretched out a skinny hand, and gently pressed against the wooden wall. Suddenly, a rune emitting a faint glow appeared on the originally empty wall.

The man jerked forward, and the wall pushed back, and the wall opened like a wall, revealing a narrow staircase that went down, and from the staircase came a faint sound of speech.

This is the entrance to the underground chamber, who would have thought that the entrance to the underground chamber is not on the first floor, but on the wall of the second floor?

The staircase in front of him was hidden in the mezzanine of the wall, less than half a meter wide, very narrow, but the man was very thin, and the space seemed empty when he walked down the stairs.

As I walked all the way, there was a turn in the stairs in front of me, and after the turn, I could see the jumping candlelight in front of me, and the sound became clearer and clearer, mixed with a strange breathing sound of 'snoring'.

The cloaked man walked over, and an underground chamber appeared in front of him.

This secret room is very spacious, about 20 meters long and wide, and there is a long table with a candlestick on the table, and under the flickering candlelight, you can see 5 'people' sitting at the table.

To be more precise, 2 people, 3 demons.

These 3 demons are about the same size as the human race, but the appearance is very strange, one of them turned into two big round axes with both hands, one is like a large lizard in the shape of a human, and the other is a big toad in the shape of a human, when this guy breathes, it makes a gurgling sound, and at the same time, there are two vesicles on the side of the cheeks that are constantly bulging, and you can see that the vesicles are filled with black juice.

When the Cloaked Man appeared, one of the Assassins, dressed in dark red leather armor, turned around and whispered, "Ancoru, you're late. ”

The leather armor on this assassin's body is very special, as his body moves slightly, wisps of blood-colored mist can be seen scattering out, and it is precisely because of the existence of this mist that the silhouette of this assassin's body appears to be shadowy, and it is somewhat difficult to determine his specific location.

"You can't blame me for that, Bren, there was some accident on the way." The Cloaked Man is the level 7 necromancer Ankoru who was beaten by Link and fled from the wilderness.

"Accidents? What about the two shadow shields I arranged for you? "The assassin who was called Bren was a little unconvinced, the other party was a level 7 magician, a big baby, for the safety of his life, he also specially equipped him with two level 6 shield warrior guards, such a power, in the Leo Kingdom can already go sideways, what accidents can happen?

Ancoru sat down at the long table and said helplessly, "Something happened when I captured that demon tiger. In the middle of the way, a strong and outrageous magician came, and none of the three of us were his opponents, and those two shield warriors were killed in battle, and I tried my best to escape. ”

"Magician? One for the three of you? Do you recognize who he is? Brun didn't rush to blame Ancoru, because he knew that things in this world can't just look at the results. Although Ancoru's result this time is really lame, it depends on who his opponent is.

Ancoru helplessly spread his hands: "The battle happened too fast, and we were still sneak attacked, so I didn't see his people either." However, his magic is just one move, which is a giant hand condensed by the fire element, which looks a little like the fist of level 6 magic Firomoz, but it can be transformed into other forms, which is very strange. ”

"A flaming hand?" A guy next to him who also hid himself under the cloak suddenly spoke, and the voice came out, and the timbre was unusually delicate, no different from a girl.

"Yes, Lena, it's a flaming hand." Ankoru shrugged his shoulders, although this magician is very young, but the other party is born as a tall elf, that is a natural magic race, the other party is only 40 years old now, and he is already a level 6 peak magician, he does not take it lightly.

Hearing Ancoru's words, the elf named Lena turned to Bren and said, "That should be the one from the north." ”

Bren's body shook: "The one from the north? You're talking about the Demon Slayer's Hand, Link the Flame Master? ”

Lena nodded.

Ancoru suddenly said: "No wonder it's like this, it turned out to be him." ”

That night in the East Valley, he fled in a hurry, didn't see the battle, and then after hearing the wind, he fled all the way south, so he didn't know about Link's methods, so naturally he didn't recognize it.

He was also relieved in his heart, he thought that he was really old, and a magician could beat him to the ground if a magician popped up in any corner, and he was still a little depressed along the way, but now that he knew the identity of his opponent, he was much calmer.

His failure this time was not because he was not strong, but because the opponent was too strong, and it was not a crime of war!

Bren didn't have anything to say, in the face of a terrifying existence that could pinch and kill a level 8 great demon, Ankru's ability to escape had already shown his ability, and accidentally meeting that person could only be said to be unlucky, what else could he say?

At the same time, he also had a little headache, looking at the Spiral Knife Demon on the opposite side, he spread his hands and said: "Bree, I have to tell you bad news, this magician who killed Tarouvis is very likely to come to Princess Celine this time." ”

The Rotary Knife Demon is the head of the three demons, the strongest strength, with the level of a 6-level peak, with the demon's combat endowment, against the same level of warriors of the human race, he can fight three, if he is desperate, it is possible to fight four, one to five.

However, the magician's terrifying record was in front of him, no matter how confident he was, he didn't dare to compare with Taruvis, who was once a legendary powerhouse, and now even Taruvis was beaten to his knees by the other party, he was naturally not an opponent, Bren's words made him extremely entangled, tangled for a long time, and his final struggle: "Why do you say that he came to the princess?" ”

Bren took out a scroll and threw it to Breyer: "This is information about him, given to us by the hand of death." In Greenstone, Princess Celine once saved him, and when General Lund tried to kill the magician, the reason why he didn't succeed was not unrelated to the princess's resistance halfway. There is a friendship between them, and now he is inexplicably going south, what do you say he is for? ”

Briel was silent for a moment, but the reluctance in his heart could be heard from the sound of his heavy breathing.

The lizard demon on the side whispered, "Head, no matter how powerful he is, he is only one person, but we have a group." ”

After saying that, the lizard demon turned to Bren again, and said, "You can't just watch this, you have to have someone to help." ”

Bren was silent, and Lena beside him shook her head: "We will not interfere openly, at most cover your retreat." You know, he's not the only opponent, we have to face the Wizards' Federation, and this is the Federation's headquarters! ”

Bren still didn't say a word, he had already acquiesced to Lena's words.

But at this time, Ancoru said: "I think this is an opportunity!" ”

"Huh?"

"How?"

Everyone in the room turned to him, waiting for him to explain.

"You see, Link is here for Princess Celine, and he must be here to save the princess. But the princess is a demon and the target of the Wizards' Federation, as long as we provoke a little, Link will face off with the Magicians' Federation, and when the time comes, when they fight and lose, we will finally appear, maybe we can reap a great victory! ”

As soon as these words came out, both Bren and the demon's eyes began to glow, but Lena snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Ancoru, if you think he will be fooled, then you also think of him too simply, right?" ”

Ancoru insisted on his opinion: "Hmph, there are risks in everything, especially the master's career, which is even more risky, how can you know the result if you don't fight?" Bren, what do you say? ”

Before Bren could speak, the Blade Demon Brieux opposite him added: "My master's promise is still valid, as long as you bring back Princess Celine, he will fully support your master." ”

These words were like a quick knife, which cut the hesitation in Brun's heart at once, and he spoke: "The shadow covers the world, this thing can be done, but you have to plan it well. ”

As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on Ancoru's thin face under the hood, he alone was not that guy's opponent, but with so many people helping, plus the people of the Wizards' Federation, he could always defeat him, right? Even if the opponent is really strong and can defeat everyone, he will be ruined by protecting the demons, and he will lose anyway.

Lena, who was on the side, obviously didn't think so, but she knew that the situation was settled, and she couldn't stop Bren anymore, and half of her white face appeared under her hood, and there was not the slightest expression on it.

Ignoring the overly cautious sorceress, Demon Briel burst out laughing, "This is sure to be a great killing feast!" ”

The Demon Slayer of the Wizards' Federation had arrived outside the market area of White Rock City, and they began to disperse, with an average of 4 groups divided into 8 groups, and the last group was Hanlot and Vivel.

"Our informant has identified the demon woman's hiding place, let's go inside, seal her escape direction, and remember, once you lock on to the target, kill it on the spot, and never leave your hands behind!"

As he spoke, Hanlot deliberately glanced at his disciple Vivel, who had brought him here this time to completely cut off his thoughts.

It is his responsibility as a teacher to guide his disciples on the right path.

Vivier felt the gaze of his mentor, and this time he didn't dodge, he looked back at his mentor, his gaze very determined.

"Good." Hanlot was satisfied: "Let's get started!" (To be continued.) )
