Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Rubik's Cube of Greed
"Mr. Sulu, what's going on with them?"
Evie. Haines looked at the young lord beside him and asked suspiciously.
Just as she stepped backstage, Sulu suddenly pulled her into the gap in the cargo box and covered her mouth with his palm, as if she was about to do something.
In that moment, Evie. Haines panicked and tried to reach out and push his body away.
Suddenly, she saw Sulu's serious eyes.
For some reason, Evie. Haines made eye contact with him, and the panic in his heart disappeared immediately.
"Shhhh
Sulu's gaze looked through the cracks in the box, staring at the brutal battlefield outside.
In fact, it was because of Martin's reminder that he would know that Viscount Quinn had already fought with that group of mysterious people.
So......
Sulu decided to wait until they were both defeated before proceeding with the final harvest.
It's just that the black Rubik's Cube surprised him.
Sulu was surprised at the same time, but also solved some doubts in his heart.
Because the moment he saw that Rubik's Cube, he already knew the reason why Viscount Quinn was able to get so many good things.
The name of that thing is called: the Rubik's Cube of Greed......
How to say that?
It's similar to Pandora's Box, a scourge that players don't want to touch.
As soon as you launch it, it will show you some clues.
Then, based on the clues given, you'll be able to find some hidden treasures, which is the equivalent of a side quest.
Of course, what you get depends on your luck.
As for the calamity, that's the main reason why players don't dare to use the Greedy Rubik's Cube.
Because when the Rubik's Cube is triggered a certain number of times, it will collapse due to people's greed, thus bringing terrifying disasters to the user.
Calamity?
It could cast a curse that restores all of your stats to zero, or summon a demigod-level demon that will tear you to shreds, and all doom is random anyway.
"But...... Why is that Rubik's Cube able to control living things? ”
Sulu looked at the blood-spattered battlefield and muttered in a low voice.
According to his knowledge, although each Rubik's cube has different levels, as well as attributes.
However, he really hadn't seen a greedy Rubik's cube with control attributes.
For some reason, the purple glow of the Greedy Rubik's Cube made him feel a little uneasy.
Let's hope that's just an illusion......
"Mr. Sulu, you...... Can you move some away? ”
Suddenly, Evie. Haynes' voice jolted Sulu from his musings.
Turning her head to look, I saw a faint flush on her face, as tempting as a ripe apple, and her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to speak and stopped.
"Huh?"
Sulu looked at the master of the Rose Chamber of Commerce and asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Sulu, the two of us are too close......"
Evie. Haynes glared at Sulu shyly and replied in a low voice.
It was only after she reminded him that Sulu remembered this.
Because the gap between the boxes was not wide, as soon as they squeezed in, the two of them were almost facing each other.
Now, Sulu can even feel Evie. Haines' temperature.
"Sorry......"
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Sulu's face, and he quickly moved his body to the side.
But with such a move, Evie. Haynes shuddered and let out a cry of surprise.
"Ah...... Mr. Sulu, you better not move. ”
Evie. Haynes looked to the side and said absent-mindedly.
"Okay......"
Sulu replied in embarrassment, and then looked back at the brutal battlefield.
Looking closely, I saw that the battle between the two sides seemed to have stopped for a while.
The loss on Viscount Quell's side is not very large.
Although most of the guards had been reduced to cold corpses, he still controlled more than twenty silver-tier assassins.
As for the situation of the group of Assassins of unknown origin, it was more miserable.
Because as long as they dispose of one controlled companion, another companion will be controlled, as if it were prescribed at this number.
"Huh, that's Black Fang?"
Suddenly, Sulu stared at the masked man and muttered under his breath.
Because the guy's mask has fallen off, revealing a face full of scars, and a black tattoo of the word dead.
He knew the guy......
If memory serves, the Masked Man is a level NPC belonging to the Secret Assassin Unit of the Salol Empire, and his name is Blackfang.
Sulu was very impressed with that guy.
One of the main quests is to gain the trust of this guy.
"Sallor's secret assassin troops, why did they kill Earl McLaren?"
Sulu's brow furrowed, and he said slowly.
"Salol's secret assassin troops? I guess it's because McLaren has been plotting a rebellion recently, and it seems to be said in the aristocratic circles that some nobles are preparing to rebel......"
Evie. Haynes thought for a moment, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.
"Rebellion?"
Hearing this, a trace of doubt couldn't help but appear in Sulu's eyes.
"Yes, the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital have been talking about this recently...... But I'm not sure the truth of this thing. ”
Evie. Haynes nodded and responded.
"Well, thank you, Miss Evie, you can stay here for now."
A smile appeared on the corner of Sulu's mouth, and he said slowly, "I'll settle the matter outside, and then I'll take you away." ”
Rebellion?
It seemed like a good thing for him.
It's just that now he has to deal with those lose-lose guys quickly.
So, Sulu was in Evie. Under the surprised gaze, Haynes slowly moved his body out of the gap and walked towards the backstage of the auction house.
"Hey, gentlemen, are you partying? It's really lively...... Although the ground is a little dirty. ”
Sulu walked slowly on the blood-stained wooden floor, muttering to himself.
However, his voice was like a thin needle that had fallen to the ground.
Although it was not loud, it instantly broke the dead silence of the backstage and attracted everyone's attention.
Who is he?
Viscount Quinn looked at Sulu's face and couldn't help but have a question in his heart.
Even Blackfang was puzzled, shouldn't all the participants in the auction have been killed?
"Ahem, it seems that you don't know me, well, I'd better introduce myself!"
Sulu coughed deliberately and said in a deep voice: "My name is Sulu, and my duty is to ...... Detain you! ”
