Generally speaking, for a member of a special assassination team like Jiang Yan, he needs to complete a task like Assassination Hyde three times a month to achieve the task volume. And if the task is of a higher level and more valuable, then the amount of task can be reduced.

The empire does not raise waste, and what is implemented in the special assassination unit is a set of meritorious service system, each task is worth a corresponding amount of points, and every month, assassins with compulsory status like Jiang Yan need to deliver corresponding meritorious services to 'hand over'.

If the merit meets the current basic needs, the surplus can even be exchanged for some substantial rewards, whether it is some kind of natural treasure, or the latest high-tech weapons and equipment developed by the empire, or the elf eggs of the high elves, or even the promotion position you want, almost all of them can be exchanged.

However, if it is a task to be completed in a team, the bonus and merit will be shared by the team members, so Jiang Yan certainly hopes to be independent as soon as possible.

In addition, if he can perform the task alone, he will not have to let go of many things because of other people around him, which will obviously be much more convenient.

"Uncle, I hope to start the next task as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, come back to the bar tomorrow to find me. Mande promised.

Next, the two chatted casually, and ended this conversation, and Jiang Yan said goodbye.

Jiang Yan planned to leave the bar and find a hotel on the street to spend the night, but Jiang Yan didn't want to stay in a hotel all the time.

"I have some spare money now, so let's look for a suitable house for sale in the city. ”

If necessary, the branch will arrange accommodation for newcomers like him for free, but then it will basically be some apartments, Jiang Yan gave up on this, that kind of house really doesn't have much private space in his opinion, and he doesn't like to live with strangers.

Therefore, Jiang Yan planned to directly entrust the staff of the Nightingale Bar Branch to help find a new house, and after trading twenty gold coins with Mande, Jiang Yan still had more than thirty gold coins left in his pocket, which was also 300,000 when converted into the soft sister coins of his previous life, which was completely enough to buy a mid-range single courtyard in Babylon City.

If it weren't for Jiang Yan's current appearance that he was too young, he would have wanted to find it himself.

Back in the front hall, Jiang Yan found that the Nightingale Bar had just closed its doors and there were no other guests in the house.

"Can you excuse me? Mr. Davis. Jiang Yan stepped forward very politely and asked the bartender.

According to Mande's introduction, this bartender's name is Davis, and he is the acting head of the Nightingale Bar branch, and the head of their branch is a little old, and he usually doesn't care about anything, and the affairs of the department are handled by this Davis.

So Jiang Yan directly approached him, and after explaining his intentions, he took out ten gold coins as a deposit for the commission.

"No problem, come back to me tomorrow, little one. ”

"Okay. ”

Jiang Yan, who didn't say anything all night and woke up at the same time with sunrise the next day, washed up early and left the temporary hotel and ran to the bar.

The bar is closed during the day, so there are no customers in the front hall, and Davis, the bartender who was tidying up the counter, saw Jiang Yan come in, and directly took out a note with the address and a bunch of keys and handed it to him.

"Here's the address and the key to the private accommodation you requested, little one. ”

This efficiency is really amazing, and Jiang Yan can see the energy of the special assassination branch of Nightingale Bar in this city from this point.

"Thanks, Mr. Davis. Jiang Yan happily handed over ten gold coins, which was the remaining half of the cost, plus the deposit paid last night, and the extra money that Jiang Yan got for the first mission was directly spent.

"Yo, newcomer, are you here so soon?" On the table not far away, Mande raised his hand to greet Jiang Yan, and then said to Davis: "Man, give him the task books I selected." ”

Jiang Yan took the four mission books sent by Davis, took a cursory glance, and found that the types of targets for these missions really covered all aspects.

Maggie: A senior waitress in the 'Lily Laurel' in the Red Light District of Billon City.

Hulk: A local jewelry merchant, along with his wife and daughter, demands that the family be wiped out.

Sean: A retired wealthy businessman and collector in the city.

Perkins: The leader of the Eagle Society, a small gang in Billen.

Of these four mission objectives, the first three are nothing in Jiang Yan's opinion, but the last one is really a bit tricky.

Although the Eagle Society is only a small gang in the evaluation of the mission book, how can it have a scale of forty or fifty people, an organization of this scale, Perkins who leads him is directly a formal elf envoy, and it is also a ruthless character who has contracted a soldier-level strength elf, although it is only the lowest ordinary soldier level, but it is not comparable to those co-contractors that Jiang Yan has encountered so far who are not even formal elf envoys. Not to mention, Perkins' men also have as many as a dozen elven conformists to follow.

In addition, what is especially tricky is that this person's personality is very alert, and he usually lives in his own villa, even if he goes out to run errands or has fun, he will bring a large number of his subordinates, and basically will not be left alone, not like Hyde Rodlin has obvious weaknesses to target, if you want to kill him, if you don't have a strong strength, then you can only squat patiently for a few months to see if there is a chance, or find a way to bypass its many subordinates and launch a surprise attack directly on me.

Obviously, the first three tasks that Mande chose for Jiang Yan this time are nothing, and only the last Perkins is the main course.

"What, is there a problem?" Mande observed Jiang Yan's expression and suddenly asked out loud.

"Uncle, are you sure that this last task is not a mistake?" Jiang Yan put down the task book and asked dissatisfiedly.

The difficulty of this task is obviously not something that novices can touch casually, but it is not a big problem for Jiang Yan, as long as he has full abilities and cooperates with the ability of the little slime, it is not too difficult to complete it, but it also depends on who makes the move.

"I think, this kind of task, I'm afraid that you can't be completely sure that your predecessors can complete it alone, right?"

How much strength does Mande have, although Jiang Yan has not fought with him in real battles, but he can detect it with a sweep of his ability.

This man's contract elf is just a mortal-level "night lizard", and like the night crow, he has the ability to be friendly with the night, and can manipulate the dark element to a small extent to achieve the hidden effect of the night camouflage, and has a lot of advantages in intelligence detection and stealth in the night environment, although it is not as good as Jiang Yan's little slime's mimicry, but it is better than most mortal-level elves.

The night lizard is not good at frontal combat, but Mande himself is proficient in combat assassination techniques based on elven blessings, as well as poison preparation techniques mixed with the night lizard's own venom, and is somewhat capable of assassination.

But even if it is him, Jiang Yan can assert that it is not easy to face a character like Perkins.

So Jiang Yan immediately protested, no matter what, even if he performed well in the first mission before, he was essentially just a little boy less than ten years old with a mortal-level contract elf.

"Ah, I see. Don't get me wrong, in fact, as long as you can successfully complete the first three independently, you will be considered qualified, and the last task about the Eagle Club is extra, you don't need to complete it independently, you can apply for support. Mande hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

"By the way, even if you don't take this task, it won't affect your results this time. But if you can complete it, you'll qualify as an Elite member in advance, and you'll have a much higher status and better privileges than a regular member like me. ”

Mande listed a number of benefits of promotion to Elite Membership, such as the ability to take regular vacations, discounted prices for merit redemption, and the opening of more and more advanced merit redemption lists.

Mande said with a look of yearning on his face, "There is even a merit exchange option for removing the "Seal" and obtaining the status of a freeman in the Empire!"

"I see, it's really desirable......" Jiang Yan's face also showed a touch of yearning, and then the conversation changed, showing regret: "Then I will give up this task." ”

"Oh, that's good, it's really my favorite...... Uh?!" Mande suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence and asked with some disbelief, "What did you just say...... Give up?"

"Of course, although the reward sounds quite tempting, I don't have the confidence to challenge such a strong enemy without giving up, will I be sent to death if I don't give up?" Jiang Yan rolled his eyes, no longer looking at the mission book of the Eagle Society, but concentrated on picking up the first three mission books and memorizing them carefully in his mind, then turned around and left the Nightingale Bar.

“...... He refused, my lord. Looking at Jiang Yan's figure disappearing outside the door, after a long time, Mande shrugged and said.

"It doesn't matter. This temptation was only at the behest of some old fellow. An old figure emerged from the shadows of the antechamber at some point.

It was an old man with short silver hair who looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, dressed in well-tailored aristocratic clothes, his meticulous hair was neatly combed and curled back of his head, revealing a smooth forehead carved with two wrinkles, and the whole person looked like a noble gentleman common in ordinary court banquets.

"Minister Angus, do you need me to send a night lizard to keep an eye on that little one?" asked Mande, standing up and saluting respectfully to the old man.

Angus shook his head, a glint flashed in his dim eyes: "No need, this kid is the most perfect work of that old guy at the beginning, and he is very alert, even if it is your night lizard, I'm afraid it may be discovered, let's not just tease such a potential newcomer." ”

Mande complimented: "Yes, your wisdom has always been extremely correct!"

"Hehe......" didn't pay much attention to the sycophants of this subordinate, and Angus glanced at the door of the bar, as if he had tracked the back of a boy who had long since disappeared.

'Eh, I don't know if I'm too sensitive, but I always feel that this little ghost seems to have noticed my prying eyes...... Luks, you've made a fun little guy. ’

......

'Let a novice elven envoy who is not yet ten years old and can only be driven by mortal-level elves face a soldier-level elven envoy and a large number of mortal-level elven co-ordinators?'

Jiang Yan, who was walking on the street, recalled in his heart that when Mande was talking about the benefits, he secretly had a peeping gaze that he perceived, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

At that time, if he had shown signs of excitement when he talked about the benefits of being promoted to an elite team member, especially when he talked about the message of 'lifting the 'seal', and dared to take over the task of the Eagle Society, he was not sure what would have happened.

Because in that case, it shows that Jiang Yan not only wants to get rid of the control of the empire, but also hides his strength in secret!

According to Jiang Yan's strength and elven intelligence discussed in the data, it is almost impossible for him to complete the task of the Eagle Society on his own, if Jiang Yan dares to take it, it means that he has the confidence to complete it, then it will naturally expose his hiding, and it is not just a little hidden.

This does not bode well for the upper echelons of the empire.

Jiang Yan was sure that if he really went to carry out the mission of the Eagle Society alone, the upper echelons would definitely send someone to secretly monitor and collect his details during his mission.

If the empire was allowed to judge that even if he had an engraved body, he still had an uncontrollable tendency, Jiang Yan would definitely be wiped out by the empire to prevent future troubles.

Therefore, before he is sure that he can remove the "mark" on his body independently, it is still necessary for Jiang Yan to be calm.

'My perception can't go wrong, and the scanning of the ability also confirms that there is indeed a strong man in the bar just now, who is secretly spying on me!' Jiang Yan called up the results of a scan before leaving the bar.

————

Name: Unknown

Grade: Level 2

Program Software: ???

————

Except for one level, nothing can be scanned, which shows that the strength of the other party is far stronger than Jiang Yan, who is in a weak state at the moment. And the second-level strength evaluation, it is already the level of a military-level elf envoy, with the power to match thousands of soldiers with the power of one person.

If he was being targeted by a powerhouse of this level, the current Jiang Yan really didn't have the confidence to make small moves under his nose without being discovered.

"Now my body is less than ten years old, and the current war in the empire is not tight enough to affect the rear, I have enough time to take my time, anyway, as long as I accumulate merit to a certain point, I can also increase my authority, there is no need to take risks." ’

Putting aside the matter of the Eagle Society's mission for the time being, Jiang Yan went directly to his new home to take a look.

It is a two-storey two-storey residential area with a two-storey area of about 200 square meters of high-end residential areas with families above the middle end of the income group, and the community has a complete range of grocery stores, restaurants, teahouses, and pubs.

Each house is separated by a courtyard wall, with a sufficient distance from each other, leaving enough space, and there are regular security personnel patrolling.

After Jiang Yan's actual observation, he was quite satisfied with this, and he didn't have high needs for the rest, as long as he could be provided with enough secluded ** space.

After that, Jiang Yan went to the commercial area of Bylen City again, purchased a number of necessary living equipment such as bed quilts, a change of clothes and washing tools, and also bought two black-haired guard dogs, two black cats and a litter of bumblebees to come back.

"The lowest-level mortal-level elf egg, the price on the market is about five gold coins, mainly depending on the quality of the race and will make the price fluctuate, but the maximum fluctuation will not exceed the difference of ten gold coins. And the adult elves that have been domesticated and have been cultivated are even more expensive, even if they are mortal-level, don't think about buying them without dozens of gold coins. ”

Fortunately, the cats and dogs that Jiang Yan bought were just ordinary animals, not elves, so the price was very cheap, and he only spent a total of one gold coin to get it.

"I'm the only one living in such a big house, and I'm often on a mission, so it's really uneasy if I don't get some guards to guard the door. ”

Jiang Yan set his eyes on the cage where the cats and dogs were held that the staff had transported.

"Of course, most of the snitches in this world have extraordinary powers, and ordinary small animals can't help it, and the phantom beasts after being replaced by elves are almost the same. ”

All living beings living in this world rich in spiritual children already have more or less spiritual power in their bodies, but they still have the difference between ordinary animals and elves, the key is the strength of the spiritual power in the body and whether it can effectively use spiritual power, and especially the latter is the focus.

An ordinary wild dog is similar to a mortal-level elven dog, even if the amount of spiritual power in the two bodies is the same, but the elf dog can also beat the wild dog. Because it can take the initiative to strengthen itself with spiritual power, so as to exert a strength far beyond the wild dog.

"But even if it's an ordinary beast, if it's an animal-type 'intelligent brain' that I have transformed with my ability and transformed my soul into data, then it's different...... Although it's just a few animal spirits, it can be used more or less after a transformation. ”
