Chapter 114: Fluctuations
Where there are people, you have to be in the rivers and lakes, not that you can do whatever you want according to the regulations, it's not like that at all, in a place as big as Yorkshire, there are baronies, and there are not a few viscounts, and there are very many of them, but if these viscounts want to be promoted to earls, it is not so easy, it is simply difficult to reach the sky.
Rowan can even imagine the days when Daley, this guy, runs around all day long, begging grandpa to sue grandma.
Together, the two went out, got to the outside of the square, got into a carriage, and went to the Star of York.
γγγγ
Outside the Demon Court, a slightly down-and-out man dressed as a nobleman inadvertently glanced at the Demon Court, and suddenly, his eyes widened, and then he hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to see anything.
From time to time, he raised his head, lowered his head, imprinted the figure in his mind, and turned the ring to send a message.
γγγγ
Two streets away, in a pitch-black room, a bright sword light flashed away, and returned to the darkness, and a deep voice sounded, "Finally, I didn't wait in vain, this damn guy, wasted my three months in vain." β
As a killer, it is their duty to hide in the dark, if this time it is not successful, he will really have to escape, as a killer, he is very sensitive, he can feel the power contained in the darkness of Yorkshire, and the person who dares to move the Demon Court, he has made all preparations, when he thinks of 300,000 gold coins, he secretly said to himself that this risk is indeed worth it.
For this assassination, he also made a bloody investment, and even the weapon in his hand gritted his teeth and found someone to enchant it once, becoming sharper, and it also came with a characteristic of compressing the fighting qi, which made the sword qi formed by the fighting qi blade more sharp, and it should not be a big problem for an intermediate magician.
He thinks so, and he does this, in recent times, in addition to hiding himself, he has enabled some secret lines of the Killer Guild in Yorkshire to help hide himself and inquire about the news, otherwise he will kill people under the nose of the Demon Court, and he does not have the guts.
What he wants to do is that after getting the information, he will kill with one blow, and then go thousands of miles away, no one can find him, even the magic guild is no exception, when he thinks of the ridicule on the faces of those old-timers after he receives the task, the killer can't help but feel a little proud on his face, and after he kills people and hits those people in the face, it will be very exciting to look at their expressions.
Thinking of this, his heart became inexplicably excited, and he carefully cleaned up the place where he had lived, brought his things, and then disguised himself as a businessman and walked out of the dark room.
He didn't plan to come back here, he had already spent too much money and time for this assassination, and even if it didn't work, it would be far away, after all, the Magic Guild was not so easy to mess with.
γγγγ
On the top floor of the Demon Court, a neat magician dressed in black walked quickly to the center of the pavilion like a tanuki, came to Robert, and whispered a few words.
Robert was playing chess with Vice Dean Guido at the moment, and at this moment Quito was winning, Robert frowned, and after hearing the words of the black-clothed magician, his forward posture moved back slightly, and his brows suddenly relaxed.
"It seems that someone really wants to challenge the majesty of our Demon Court, Vice President of Quito, you also heard the words of Little Rollo, do you have any ideas?" Robert asked in a loud and hearty voice.
Guido's face twitched, he knew that Robert was making himself ugly, looking at him, whether it was the personal grudge that was important, or the magic guild was important, but did you think about this kind of thing? The pigs knew that this thing must not be completed by them, otherwise what would be the face of the Demon Court.
However, he likes to see that someone in the underground world has paid to reward Luo Wen, although this good seedling is now unstoppable, but he is willing to see it if he makes some trouble. The Magic Guild will not let go of any talent, nor will it give up any talent, Rowan's current performance has won the attention of the above, if he blatantly targets Rowan at this time, it is really ignorant of current affairs. Young people's affairs, let young people do it, he seems to remember that the Anson family seems to be just a branch of the Anlitu family of the empire, where are there more geniuses, Rowan offended the Anson family, if they deal with a Rowan, it is not easy to capture.
So he said, "Well, the law enforcement team can do what to do about this matter, and it's time to clean up the rats in the underground world." There is a dark and light side to any world, but when the darkness cannot be controlled, it needs to be cleaned up. β
Guido slowly touched his mustache, but he touched a piece of his bare chin, and then his face was a little ugly, he forgot that the mustache had already lost the game just now, so his face was a little unsightly.
Robert was relieved to see Quito like this, "Hehe, you old boy is still so sleek, the Demon Court is a deterrent organization, if we really clean up the underground world, what does this make others think of us, we shouldn't care so much, as long as our own people don't have accidents." β
Guido pursed his lips and said in his heart, the good and bad words have been said to you, what else do I say.
Soon, a flurry of orders lay out.
The man in black retreated, and quickly disappeared into the Demon Court.
....
Rowan didn't know how many forces he had been involved in this difficult trip, as if he threw a fast stone on the calm water, and the water rippled and set off ripples.
and Daley came to the Star of York, along the way, Rowan was observing the surroundings, although as a magician, he received a lot of attention, but Rowan did not feel relaxed at all, but felt that the atmosphere around him was a little weird. It seems that wherever I go, my voice will become much lower.
It's a very bad feeling.
Soon, the two walked through the heavy aisle and came to their private room. As soon as he entered the private room, Rowan threw out a formation plate and placed it next to him. As an object about to be assassinated, Rowan naturally needs various scanning tools to assist himself, this thing is a gadget made according to vibration waves and sound waves, which can detect any fluctuations in the surrounding two hundred meters, and at the same time, according to the principle of bat echo, form an image, and it itself is also emitting fluctuations at any time, but this fluctuation is very small, and it is not in the sensing range of the human body, ordinary people can't sense it at all.
However, this kind of induction method relying on sound waves and vibration is a bit limited, that is, he must rely on the medium to propagate, different media return speed is different, will cause a huge contrast, and some media propagation speed is relatively slow, often when you have induction, others have come to you. This thing is very useful for low-level mages or samurai, but it is not very useful at the higher level.
In that world, electromagnetic waves are king.
Of course, Rowan only talked about this thing better than nothing, to test his own results, and did not have the will to promote it, this thing is too immature.
Daley also saw this thing, but since Rowan didn't say it, he didn't plan to ask, magicians are all mysterious, who knows what he's doing, with what he has known about Rowan for so long, he is ready to go straight to the point.
"Rowan, I formed a small adventure group, ready to go to the Thunder Mountain Range for an adventure, I want to invite you along, I wonder if you have time recently?"
Rowan was a little embarrassed, "I've been busy lately, the laboratory has just been established, and I need to do a series of experiments to consolidate my knowledge. β
Daley was a little speechless, he was going to grind hard and soak hard, but he didn't expect Rowan to refuse directly as soon as he came up.
"Can't you take it off for a while?"
"No, because, I'm about to be promoted to Senior Mage. Rowan looked directly at Daley and said the biggest reason why he didn't want to go.
Daley's figure flickered, and he almost didn't sit still, what's the situation, is this little guy possessed by the law god, a level this year, it's not even three years, and it's almost advanced!
"What, this can't be, right?"
Rowan shook his head and said, "There's nothing impossible about this, as far as I know, the fastest person in history to be promoted to a high-level magician only took three days. β
Daley's eyes widened, and his expression was incredible, the magician he knew, wasn't he promoted to a high-level magician when he was very old, or some people simply hovered on the edge of an intermediate magician all their lives, could it be that he was too superficial, or the world of magic was too deep, and he had never been in contact with a magician at all?
"That'γγγγγ β
Rowan looked at Daley, and finally said sincerely, "Actually, the reason why I don't want to go is because someone has offered a reward of 300,000 yuan to take my head, so I have stayed in the Demon Court and dare not come out, this answer, I think you can consider it." β
Daley was a little messy, when he heard 300,000, his brain buzzed, with his strength at the level of a battle master, he almost couldn't control his emotions, 300,000 gold coins, how is this possible, the other party is just an intermediate magician, who is such a tyrant to spend so many gold coins to reward him, is it his talent, or his ability? That's not quite right, why don't you go to reward Victor and Alec?
Or does Rowan have no background and is the easiest to kill?
Daley sat there, didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't speak anymore, Rowan these reasons, any of them, he couldn't force his mouth, a magician's future and life are definitely much more important than his warrior.
Finally, Daly sighed, "It seems that I can only go by myself, but I can tell you the good news, our family is only a thousand merits away from being promoted to earl, and in addition, we need to pay 500,000 gold coins." We only have 300,000 now, and it will take some time to plan. β
Luo Wen thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, isn't this a good time to break away from the Sakura Mountain family, so he thought about it and said solemnly, "I can give you 200,000." β
Daley kept silent, Rowan could open this mouth, obviously he must have made some deal with him, two hundred thousand gold coins, even if he wanted to rob it.
Sure enough, Luo Wen's next sentence was, "Two choices, the first one, I can give you 200,000 gold coins, the premise is that we need to re-sign the contract, the contract period is only one year, but I will only help you once, and the second one, our contract will be terminated, if you need to be promoted to earl immediately, I can satisfy you immediately." β
γγγγ
With Luo Wen's current ability, it is not very difficult to go outside to find someone to ask for a thousand merits, and the Holy Forest Empire also has many rewards, which can provide meritorious service, he only needs to complete such a task, then he can get some merits, or simply exchange the points of the Magic Guild for the merits of the empire, some of the Magic Guild are nobles, and their merits do not have much effect, and their value is far less than the points of the Magic Guild, it is really not as direct as gold coins, it can be exchanged for it, as for the money, Rowan has 100,000 gold coins on him, he just needs to make it upγ
Daly struggled for a moment, then nodded fiercely, and he chose the second one.
He originally only wanted to invite Rowan to participate in an event, but he didn't expect to achieve the goal he dreamed of, which was simply pie in the sky. However, this price is not small, Rowan directly withdrew from the contract, and he will never have anything to do with their family in the future.
Daley's psychology is more measured, if Rowan is really about to be promoted to a senior magician in the near future, it is very likely that he will enter the province of Grimm to study, then the possibility of being able to help him is even smaller, it is better to change some immediate benefits.
Being able to be promoted directly to earl is definitely something Daley would like to see.
Rowan felt this result and smiled with satisfaction.
But the next moment, his face changed, and he said, "Count Daley, although I want to congratulate you in advance, but you want to do me a favor now?"
Daley was still immersed in the joy of gaining and losing at the moment, and he was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What's the hurry?"
"Kill someone!"
γγγγγ
Daley and Rowan walked out of the York Star, Rowan still looked calm, the two walked out talking and laughing, but Daley was not very calm in his heart, from the moment Rowan opened his mouth, he fell into tension, although he is a war master, but in the face of an assassin, he still can't be so comfortable, the way of assassins, the Daley family has also heard of it, these people are outlaws, kill people without blinking, the most important thing is that the strength is weird, often able to fight the strong with the weak, the strength of senior assassins, even if the war division occasionally has to capsize, it is not without precedentγ
However, when he saw Luo Wen's calm face, the tension on his face disappeared a lot.
As usual, they came out into the street, and after a while, after a while, the groom came with the carriage, and they went in turn.
