Chapter 22: The Iron Fist of the Sacrifice

"Messing with you, Causeway Bay or Horse Lanshan?" Levi was confused, and secretly complained in his heart.

He thought for a moment and asked respectfully and carefully, "May I ask if you are ......?"

When the giant man heard this, he was obviously stunned, and pointed to himself in surprise: "You, you don't know me?"

Looks like he's supposed to be a celebrity.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a freshman and I don't know many people. Levi shook his head honestly.

"I'm ......" The giant was about to introduce himself, perhaps feeling that he had fallen in, and turned his head and pointed at Pasquere, "Pasquere, you don't need to talk at length, try to be as simple as possible." ”

"Yes. Pasquere nodded, and said succinctly, "This is Burns Howlett, the last seat of the Council of Six, the title of 'Behemoth', the fourth armor master in the world under the 'Three Sages', and the only armor master at the top of the dawn. ”

With that, he stepped back and stood aside respectfully.

Burns was in a deep pose similar to that of a "thinker", and after waiting for a while, he turned his head suspiciously: "Pasquere, are you done with your introduction?"

"Mr. Howlett, you said you should keep it simple......" Pasquere said with a sneer, stroking his nose.

"I'm talking about simplicity, not simplicity. Also, it is the sixth seat, not the last. Burns muttered in a low voice, as if feeling embarrassed.

However, the word "armor" was in his ears, but Levi was struck by lightning.

The Commandment Armor, a new category pioneered by the forerunner Caesar Sparrow, is similar to spells, but in terms of attributes, effects, and even the most intuitive price point, it is far superior to ordinary spells, and is called a "miracle work".

"Judging by the spells you've created, you little guy has some special talents that ordinary people don't have. Burns stared at Levi, pointed to his temple, and said, "You have a flexible head, a quick mind, no rules, and incomparable creativity, and this is the 'pattern' that a truly good armorer needs." ”

Levi's face was humble, but his heart was dark, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned: Is there finally someone who knows the goods? That's right! A man like me, no matter where he is, is like a firefly in the dark, so distinct, so outstanding......

"But," Burns shifted from praise to verbal blows, "I feel like you've strayed a bit...... The most important feature of the Commandment Armor is order and balance, but your boy's work is full of disorder and chaos, which is completely contrary to the way of armor. ”

Levi's expression froze, and he was dumbfounded for a moment, unable to speak.

"You have great potential, but you also have obvious flaws, and I can't give you a definitive conclusion. Burns crossed his arms and tapped his five fingers on his upper arms in turn, "So, I won't directly accept you as an assistant, but 'waiting for a helper', and when you turn positive, it depends on your performance." ”

"Waiting for a hand...... Is there a pay?" Levi asked cautiously after a moment's thought.

"Salary? My official assistants are not paid, do you think there will be a waiter?" Burns rolled his eyes as the only one man left, and said with a heartfelt voice, "Young man, don't keep thinking about money, knowledge is priceless." ”

Levi's face stiffened: "The more I listen to this, the more I look like the unscrupulous boss who paints a big pie? If you work overtime, I can change to a sports car next year?"

"I never force others, you think about it," Burns said without dwelling, waving his hand, "If you figure it out, go to the 'Anvil of the Soul'." ”

......

With that, he shook his head and walked away in style.

Halfway through, Burns' movements stiffened visibly, and he scurried into a bush.

This time, it seems to be a tuba.

"Not only is the kidney deficient, but the gastrointestinal function is not very good......" The corners of Levi's mouth twitched, messy in the wind.

"Levi, don't be fooled by appearances, I personally recommend that you accept it. Pasquere walked up to Levi's side and kindly reminded him, "The Armoured Master is the gatekeeper of order and balance, the manipulator and weaver of the laws of the plane, and has even been called 'an being closer to the origin of the world than the gods'. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to apprentice with the Fourth Armorer, and even if it doesn't work out, it will expand your knowledge of the real world and open the door to a new world. ”

"Open the door to a new world?" Levi's expression stiffened again, how could this sentence give people a bad association?

"Are you afraid that Mr. Howlett will treat you as a free labourer?" explained Pasquere, apparently mistaken, for Burns, "rest assured, he is very demanding of his assistants, and is genuinely looking for a successor. If he really wanted to work for free, he wouldn't have just one official assistant. ”

"Then ......," Levi asked suspiciously, turning his mind, "he doesn't pay his assistants to be self-reliant, and he also wants to train his successor?"

"It's not," Michelle suddenly interjected, with a hollow eye, "it's just that he's a bit picky." ”

Pasquere looked embarrassed, and it was clear that Michelle wasn't lying.

"......" Levi's expression stiffened, hesitated for a while, and asked curiously, "Mr. Howlett's right arm is a Holy Commandment Armor?"

"Oh? Michelle snorted and nodded.

Pasquere bowed his head and said slowly, "The Sacrificial Iron Fist, also known as the 'Skull of Behemoth', is the proud work of Mr. Howlett, and it is also the most important step that makes him the fourth armorer. The effect of the Iron Fist of the Ritual is called 'Life Sacrifice', also known as 'Samsara Technique', which can be sacrificed with life to release powerful spells. ”

"Sacrifice?" Levi's thought flickered, thinking of Burns's spell casting method, and speculated, "His combat method is to first release the summoning spell, and then use the summon as a sacrifice and transform it into a killing spell?"

Pasquere nodded again: "Mr. Howlett's heart contract is the 'price', and when the price is paid, the strength of his spell is already equivalent to the level of Lianyue. In addition, the reincarnation spell cannot be selected, but the Iron Fist of the Ritual will unleash the most suitable spell according to the host's needs. ”

"The price?" Levi breathed a little heavily, and he felt like his heart was pounding.

The armor of the Holy Commandments is indeed a lever that can pry the world!

Although he didn't speak, he had already made up his mind.

"Before you go, though, it's a good idea to lay the groundwork. However, Levi was not prepared to make a rash move.

......

"My assessment is seventh. Pasquere didn't forget what he was doing, and turned his head to look left and right, "You guys...... Do you have any objections?"

"Nope. The two old mages shook their heads in unison.

"It's a good fit. Alice stared at Levi for a long time, as if she was remembering, remembering his face.

Michelle also had no objection, she took out her long-lost cigar and lit it, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Levi, I have to admit it, I have lost my eyes, you still have some talent...... Since this is the case, it is even more necessary to grasp it, don't learn from that stinky old man and go down the evil path. ”

Levi was in a strange mood.

is obviously a little girl about the same age as himself, but he wants to pretend to be old-fashioned and teach himself hard, which makes him cry and laugh.

"Yes. After hesitating for less than a second, Levi decided to be more interesting and nodded obediently.

Watching Michelle proudly pull Alice away, he was amused in his heart, and he had a little affection for this girl who seemed to have little roots in her head.

"You're Levi?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.

"Exactly. Levi turned his head when he heard the sound, and a tall, silver-haired man stood behind him, his hands behind his back, his body bent forward slightly, and a harmless smile on his face.

He was about the same size as Burns, less than half the width of his shoulders, and his body was long and lean, like a long, narrow sword. On his waist hung an unsheathed and bladeless hilt, the calyx of which was in the shape of an eight-clawed spider, swaying in the wind, like a living spider with hanging silk.

"Are you ......" Levi looked suspicious.

This man is obviously a martial artist, how could he appear at the top of the dawn?

"Captain of the Thirteenth Demon Hunting Team, Marlo Silver," the man leaned slightly, pulling out a money bag embroidered with a silver Demon Hunting Slasher, "I'm here to give the reward, the Demon Hunter Guild has passed the audit, and the remuneration and billing details are in it." ”

"Thank you. Levi raised his eyebrows and reached out to pick it up.

"I'm really sorry, those old men who sit in the office are like this, they don't sympathize with the dangers and hardships of the front line, but they are busy paying for every copper reimbursement. Marlowe smiled brightly, spoke softly, and spoke eloquently.

Behind him, Hans leaned out half of his body and beckoned kindly.

Li Wei suddenly realized, and immediately showed doubts, and asked tentatively: "It's just such a small reward, you don't need the captain of the demon hunting team to send it personally." ”

"Sure enough!" Marlowe smiled dumbly, his face sincere, "Actually, the real purpose of my coming here is to recruit you into the thirteenth demon hunting team. ”

"Demon Hunters?" Levi shook his head without hesitation, "I'm sorry, I'm just an apprentice now, and for me, learning is the first priority. ”

"It's a pity...... "Marlowe wanted to persuade again, but seeing Levi's firm attitude, he immediately improvised and shrugged his shoulders in a chic manner, "However, my thirteenth demon hunting team will always leave you a place, and any time you change your mind, you can become a member of the team." ”

This was a beautiful remark, and Levi listened to it well, but instead of being flustered, he asked in confusion, "Mr. Silver, I have a question for you." ”

"Question? Marlowe made a "please" gesture, still smiling brightly.

"I'm just an apprentice and I'm insignificant. Levi looked puzzled and asked, "There are many powerhouses in the Peak of Dawn and the Sword of Twilight, and I really can't think of a reason why you value me." ”

"That's your doubt?" Marlowe smiled again, meaningfully, "The most scarce thing in the Demon Hunting Team is not the strong, but the smart. ”

"Smart people?"

"Hmm. Marlowe nodded, calmly explaining, "Heretics are difficult to deal with, not only because they are powerful, but also because they are cunning and good at stealth. A young man like you, careful, intelligent, and logical, is exactly what the Demon Hunter Squad needs most. ”

Everyone loves high hats, and Levi was also in a good mood when he heard this compliment.

"Don't listen to him, this guy is a liar. ”

At this moment, Pasquere's voice sounded behind him.

"Liar?" Levi was slightly stunned.
