Chapter 120: Invitation? Appointment! above
There are rules or rules in the Dark World, and if you calculate carefully, you can basically write a book that is more than two feet thick, and can be used as a shield in size and weight; Of course, this is not the whole thing, and there are small cobweb-like local principles in each region or even within the same region, which act as a constraint and make it difficult to spread your hands and feet.
However, whether it is the big rules or those local principles, the foundation is based on strength - simply put, strength is the foundation of everything, whether it is good or evil, or neutral, you need strong strength as the strength to ensure your position.
And if someone forces you to change your position?
It's as simple as swinging your fist, knocking out his front teeth, making him swallow, and then telling him that where you stand, your territory is your place – and your territory is up to you!
At the beginning, when Siren was about to become a dark mercenary and step into the dark world, his uncle told him this, and asked carefully and repeatedly whether he wanted to enter such a world full of the law of the jungle - Silen, who was still young at the time, longed for an unusual life and wanted to take risks; Therefore, he didn't think too much about it, and he was led by his uncle without hesitation, and completed the first mission of the dark mercenary: to deliver a letter.
That's right, it's to send letters.
An encrypted letter that doesn't want anyone to know, and there is no one to worry about, it can only be a letter delivered by dark mercenaries - as for ordinary mercenaries? Since the dark mercenary was chosen, it was naturally because ordinary mercenaries could not cope with the troubles that might arise during the delivery process!
That one to send a letter. It was Silen's first mission. in their own uncle. Led by an experienced dark mercenary, it was brilliantly accomplished - it was delivered to the target two days ahead of schedule, saving the target from a crisis; And the target is undoubtedly generous, a whole bag, nearly a hundred Kimpton has become his extra reward.
Faced with such an extra reward, the young Siren was amazed, and then, with even greater enthusiasm, devoted himself to his work. And because of the first mission, most of his next tasks will choose to accept various tasks to send letters and invitations; And because of this - Postman, gradually became his code name.
After his uncle retired and went to Chunlin District to retire, the postman officially became synonymous with Xilun - in the face of such a pronoun, Xilun still has a little pride from the bottom of his heart; Because, this is the recognition of others for him; And, more importantly, after he has such a title, some tasks will be automatically sent to the door.
Compared to assassinations, duels, kidnappings, or simply massacres. The task of delivering a letter is undoubtedly much safer; As long as you have a certain amount of skill. Even if he avoided fighting, he might have been proud of himself in the past, and he had made it public.
Undoubtedly, such an approach has caused him quite unnecessary trouble.
Since yesterday, until now, Siren has admitted that he has entered a vortex of tyranny and cruelty, and at the bottom of the vortex is the destination called death, as long as it is sucked in, then it is a dead end; As a well-known dark mercenary, Xiren doesn't want to die, he also wants to be like his uncle, save enough pension money, and then go to the countryside of Chunlin District to spend a happy old age.
However, from the current point of view, this wish is nothing more than an extravagant hope......
Dark mercenary, it's really a point of no return!
With such an exclamation, the neatly dressed Siren picked up the invitation that was placed at the bedside, and left the nest that he once thought was extremely safe—after putting the invitation down and expressing his meaning clearly, the big men had all left; This is not to be relieved, but they know that they dare not do it; It's not just the difference in strength, but also the rules of the dark mercenary, after Siren accepted that task yesterday, everything has already been doomed, as long as Siren doesn't want to be like a rat crossing the street, and he will be killed in an unknown alley at the end, then Siren must do it.
As himself, Siren is also very aware of his current situation, but what can he do?
Walking in the palatial front hall of Waquelin, Siren did not have any intention of appreciation or admiration, although he had imagined that he had entered here countless times, but when the dream really turned into a real thing, Siren was far from the joy he expected - his mind at the moment had already been stained with the content of the invitation!
If the name Ye Qi is still only familiar to him, then the title of the dragon of Shak in the back is enough to shock Xiren beyond the existence - compared to this title, the big people he saw before are not worth mentioning at all; As the strongest of the younger generation of witchers, the dragon of Shak has this strength and fame; The Solar level proved his strength, and the countless strong people who fell under the opponent's sword forged the opponent's reputation.
Legend has it that the Shak Dragon is already an unattainable existence of the Solaris level, just like his teacher, the Sword Master—and as soon as news about the Shak Dragon comes out in the bar, such a statement will appear one after another; After all, there were too many Solar-level powerhouses who died under the sword of the Xia Ke Dragon, which was enough to support this statement.
Siren had also been one of the members of the discussion, and had sided with the Dragons of Shak; For this kind of young and able to keep his bottom line at the same time, without forgetting his position, Siren always admires or admires it very much - because, he can't do it to such an extent, in order to be able to survive, Siren has long pulled the bottom line infinitely lower and left his position behind.
But can he be blamed for that?
Fear of death is the nature of any person, and those who can be fearless of life and death are truly strong.
Hopefully those rumors aren't false!
With such a nervous heart, Xiren pressed the button on the 4th floor of the elevator and looked at the slowly closing elevator door. When I am scared. He once again looked at the big names who had been in his eyes. expressed his dissatisfaction -
What does it mean to have a one-sided relationship and save my life?
It's another witcher who saved me, okay?
A bunch of idiots who can't even tell their age!
The most pitiful thing is that I, Uncle Silen, have to pay the bill for the decisions of a group of idiots......
Thinking of the expressions on the faces of those big people when they spoke, the dissatisfaction in Siren's heart quickly turned into anger - although he hadn't seen the dragon of Shak, the other party's age should be a young man in his twenties, and the one he saw yesterday? is already in his forties, even if he is very middle-aged, but his age has not changed!
I can't even tell the difference between my twenties and forties. This makes postmen like Siren think they're all fake!
Unfortunately, as a postman, he did not dare to refute; After all, if you don't refute it, there is still hope of living, and if you refute it, you will have to die right now - yes, if you live a little longer, Siren still hopes that she can live a little longer.
Calm, calm......
After stepping out of the open elevator door, I looked at the destination that was getting closer and closer. Siren kept telling himself in the bottom of his heart, but that didn't stop his heart from beating faster and faster. After all, the contents of that invitation, even if he, a bystander, read it, were definitely a conspiracy trap; If I read it, in addition to disdain, I guess it will be angry, right?
And once the other party gets angry, the fate of him, the postman, can be imagined!
Although rumors say that the other party is not a murderer......
Stretching out his trembling fingers, it took Siren nearly two minutes to press his fingertips on the doorbell—
Ding dong! Ding dong!
After the pleasant doorbell rang twice in a row, the door opened with a 'click', and a woman with a beautiful face and gentle temperament appeared in front of Siren; looking at this woman, Siren's breathing became rapid in an instant, and he looked at the woman in front of him without blinking, until the other party let out a cold snort of displeasure, and Silen, who acted as a postman, realized what he had done.
"Bey, Bernadette. Good afternoon, Ms. Taylor! ”
Stammering Silen greeted the chameleon—and deep down, the postman wanted to slap himself again; He was complaining about his ignorance and ignorance, and in the dark world of Dud, all people and creatures knew about the dragon of Shak and the great star Bernadette. Taylor has had an ambiguous relationship, appearing in pairs on more than one occasion at various PR occasions and some banquets.
Especially in the last assassination incident, the performance of the Shak Dragon is even more determined in people's hearts - however, at that time, the Shak Dragon was not as awe-inspiring as it is now, and people can still use such things as after-dinner conversation to tease each other without scruples, and describe some inappropriate pictures for children.
However, with the Shak Dragon's war in the Norsd family estate in Rantingburg and the Holy See, such talk seems to be a cold wind blowing from the far north, and it has no effect except to make people feel cold from the bones—people choose to shut up, and even if they want to talk, they will only talk quietly when they are unknown and only a few real friends are around.
Strength is not everything, but it can be fundamental -
A man may not care about his possessions, but for his women, it is impossible not to care; Don't think that a man with a green head can still calmly face a man who makes his head green, or a man who is about to turn his head green; If there is any man who can be so calm, except for some of his dysfunctions, it is his sexual orientation that has changed.
Women, is a man's war, although this sentence is a bit biased, but most of the time, it is very true - at least, in the dark world, some bar fights, ambushes in the wilderness, are inseparable from women, especially under the influence of alcohol.
Although Siren was sure that he was not drinking, and there were no alcoholic beverages in the room in front of him, this did not mean that he could be unscrupulous; The postman looked at the chameleon in front of him, stammering and apologetic, and made it clear what he was here for—
"Yes, I'm sorry, Bernadette. Ms. Taylor, I'm just a postman. Whoever came to deliver the letter! There's an invitation from Lord Ye Qi! ”
Siren said as he did his best to show great piety. It's like a religious person. Half-bent over, he lifted the invitation above his head like an enshrined relic, and presented it to the chameleon—if he could, Siren didn't mind kneeling down and holding it above his head, even if someone was watching, he didn't care; After all, it's about his life.
And just when Siren was about to do so. The chameleon took the invitation and said coldly: "Thank you!" ”
Then the door of the room slammed shut again, and the sound of the lock was so crisp that it made Silen, who was standing in front of the door, shudder, and came back to his senses—he looked at the door that had been closed in front of him, and then touched himself in perfect condition, and then, without any stop, turned and ran; I didn't even take the elevator; I chose the emergency passage straight.
And such a desperate run. After Siren rushed out of Waquelin, he did not stop immediately; Instead, it continued to last for almost ten minutes. After the whole person left the two streets of Waquillin, it was considered to be a real stop-
Leave Dude!
Be sure to leave Dude!
Xi Lun, who was panting, had such a thought irrepressibly in his heart, and then he immediately began to act for this; Siren didn't plan to go back to his lair, although there were still some things there, but they weren't very important, and the really important things he had already brought with him - because, having considered a plan to escape halfway, it was not surprising that he had something valuable with him.
And Siren was extremely glad that he had thought of it at the beginning, but he didn't dare to carry it out; At the very least, at this time, it seems that he is quite prescient.
Riding a taxi, Siren came to the train station; And just as he was about to buy a random train ticket to go anywhere, as long as it was far away from Dude, a man suddenly stopped his shoulder from behind—
"Don't move, it's me!"
Hickel raised his hand and grabbed Siren's wrist, keeping the dagger away from his abdomen.
"Bastard!"
After seeing the face under the hat, although the dagger in Xilun's hand was taken back, his mouth did not stop, and after a low scolding, he continued to whisper: "You guy, do you know what kind of trouble you have involved me in?" I've had to leave my country now! ”
"What if I give you a chance not to leave?"
As Hickel said this, an envelope appeared in his hand at the same time, looking at the envelope in front of him, Siren subconsciously trembled, he waited for Hickel and asked, "You, what do you mean?" ”
"Send me a letter!"
"No, I've decided I won't do the postman's job again!"
Siren, who didn't think about it, shouted.
"If you send it, everything will be back to normal!" Hickel said: "If you don't do it, then you will be chased like a lost dog for the rest of your life!" ”
"I don't want to put the life I just picked up in again!"
Siren gasped and groaned.
"It's a good deal, and when it's done, you don't have to worry about your life anymore; Or are you really going to be a lost dog and then, one morning, someone finds you dead in the gutter? ”
Looking at the stunned Siren, Hickel stuffed the letter into the other party's hand: "The address is on the envelope!" ”
After speaking, Hickel appeared as if he had just appeared, and while Siren was stunned, the whole person got into the crowd and disappeared in a few clicks; And when Siren came back to his senses and looked at the letter in his hand and the missing Hickel, the dark mercenary who had become a postman again couldn't help but scold: "! ”
……
"What do these guys want to do?!"
After handing the invitation to Ye Qi, the chameleon's face became gloomy - although she hadn't read the content of the invitation, but the same sender, the same cover, with such a premise, would there be any difference in the content of the invitation?
"You're not allowed to go!"
For the first time, the chameleon said so firmly, which surprised Ye Qi - after the two became allies, although during the conversation, Ye Qi rarely spoke, most of it was said by the chameleon, in addition to having confidence in the chameleon's intelligence network, more of the chameleon's language was finally accompanied by a hint of inquiry, rather than as arbitrariness as at the moment.
"It's okay, it's just an invitation; Besides, didn't we plan to go there in advance? In the face of such arbitrariness, Ye Qi naturally felt uncomfortable, he waved the invitation in his hand, and said with a smile: "Now, I don't even need to disguise and disguise!" ”
"Just an invitation? Do you know who the invitation is? ”
The chameleon's voice became stern, especially when those big beautiful eyes stared at it, and a big cat surrounded Ye Qi in the face of its prey; If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed to the ground with weak legs at this time; However, if it is Ye Qi's words......
Smiling and shaking his head slowly, Ye Qi unfolded the invitation and said, "The leader of the Killing Thought, the Commander and the leader of the Lair of Terror, the Lizard, as well as the invitations sent by countless small and medium-sized dark mercenary organizations!" ”
"Ye, this is not a joke! Do you know what they did when they sent out this invitation? ”
The chameleon grabbed the invitation, slammed it on the carpet, and asked loudly.
