"The screams seem to have come from here."

Several guards with spears searched the underground corridors, spear tips piercing the walls and ground to prevent thieves from hiding nearby.

"This is underground, even if that person can fly, it is impossible to escape our eyes, is it hiding in some room?"

One of the guards said, looking at the closed doors.

"Anyway, let's check every room first."

A man who appeared to be a leader walked up to a metal door, took out a key and inserted it.

"There's no one here."

"Not here!"

The guards checked door by door, and by the time they reached the penultimate door, something went wrong.

"What's the matter, this door is unlocked, but it can't be pushed?"

One of the guards wondered.

"Is it rusty? These doors used to be used to hold prisoners, who knows what the hell is inside, and some prisoners are very cunning and ....... ”

"Boom!!"

Just then, the metal door was suddenly knocked into the air, and the hard door panel slammed into the guards standing outside the door, overpowering four of the six guards.

"What...... Person. ”

The other two hurriedly picked up their spears and protected them in front of them, and then they felt a pain in the back of their necks, and leaned on each other and fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

One foot slammed on the metal door, and the four guards below let out a few short snorts, and then there was no movement.

"There should be four groups of people patrolling around here, but now only three groups have come, and two don't know where to go."

Natsu withdrew her feet from the door panel and glanced at the floor in the room.

By this time, all that was left on the ground were yellow water stains and some eroded clothing, and Saipan's body was gone.

"If the constitution is not very suitable for angelic possession, it will become like this after being inflicted on the angel descending."

I looked at the yellow water. Xia shook his head and walked inside the door, using his telekinesis to rummage through the clothes, hoping to find some clues.

It's a pity that there is nothing in it except a little money and a small trinket. Saipan doesn't seem to have a habit of putting important objects on his body.

"Agnes once said that the current energy shortage on the mainland has reached an extremely dangerous situation...... And that crystal contains a very powerful energy that can only be found near Westminster. ”

Thinking of this, she vaguely grasped something in her mind:

"The price of magic crystals has been rising recently, which is very abnormal, because as far as I know, the ratio of magic crystals to gold coins has been stable for decades."

"Think about the information you have so far...... First of all, there is an extremely severe energy crisis in all countries on the mainland; ”

"Not long ago, the Empire sent airships to the royal capital to demonstrate, and quarreled with the envoys of the Order at the state banquet. One party also dropped the plate; ”

"Saipan left the team without permission, left the island early with the help of a certain nobleman, and then suddenly defected to the ...... of the Order"

"Is there any connection between these things?"

She looked at the upside-down guards outside, and felt as if she had missed something important.

Suddenly, a thought came to her mind that shocked her:

"Could it be...... Because of this crystal, which can be used as a new source of energy, can the Order want to start a war? ”

At this moment, the sound of chains mopping the floor sounded in the distance, and a woman's curse was faintly heard.

Natsu immediately came to the door. Look outside.

I saw a woman dressed as a mercenary walking barefoot with a thick iron chain on her ankle. He was followed by two stiff-faced guards.

"I'm a mercenary! High-level mercenaries! It's not a pariah, you dare to arrest people casually, and keep me in a dungeon for so long, I will definitely go to the city lord to complain about you......"

The woman shouted as she walked.

"You don't seem to have figured out the situation yet."

One of the guards said grimly:

"This is the City Lord's Mansion! Hurry up! ”

He put the weapon on the woman's waist, and the mercenary immediately shut up.

Xia listened to the woman's voice and was a little familiar, thought for a moment and followed behind the three of them.

"Boom!"

One of the guards standing around the corner shook his head. Fell to the ground.

The three people in front walked all the way to the depths, and there were some scattered guards standing in key positions on the way, Xia Yi didn't stop doing anything, sneaked up to these guards, and stunned them all to the ground with the thief's stuffy stick skills. It will take at least a few hours for these people to wake up.

"Oh no, the Book of Shadows is in a cooling state, and it can't change now."

Natsu looked at the book and found it unusable.

Her black robe had long been put away, and now she was still wearing the same conservative aristocratic lady's dress, which looked very eye-catching.

"-50% stealth effect due to your attire"

Looking at the prompt on the system page, she sighed loudly, this kind of problem had never happened before.

"There's no time to look for clothes, so let's just do it first."

By this time the three men in front had reached the outside of a large door, and the guards knocked on the door, and a strange voice came from inside:

"Come in."

The voice was a little muffled, and it was very deep, not so much a person talking, but a player in a box humming.

"The woman you wanted has been brought, sir. Her figure was the best of those women. ”

The guards pushed the mercenary through the door.

As soon as he pushed in, he heard the female mercenary scream.

"Shut up!"

The guard stabbed her in the shoulder with a sharp weapon.

"Huh...... There's no need, let her applaud, anyway, this is underground, and no one can hear it. ”

The deep voice seemed to be laughing.

What's going on?

Maybe it's because I've watched too many movies, and Mr. Xia feels that this bridge in front of him is a bit familiar.

"Forget it, go over and have a look."

She put the sword back on her back and stooped to the door, where she saw a corpse on the ground that had been gnawed and fleshed out.

"Ah...... Ahh......hhh Ahhhh ”

The mercenary couldn't speak anymore, looking at the corpse and the tall monster shrouded in black air. Screaming non-stop.

"As is customary, she was not bathed, my lord."

The guard unlocked the lock on her foot and reported to the baron.

"Not bad."

The baron in the black air made a gesture:

"Women are different from men, and it's good to keep the original smell on their bodies."

"You...... What do you want? ”

The mercenary sat down on the ground, her legs shaking like chaff:

"Do you want to ...... me You're too big. I'm afraid I can't stand it. ”

"Haha!"

The baron laughed:

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do that to you...... Because I have only one interest in women. ”

He walked up to the mercenary and said word by word:

"That's it...... Eat them. ”

His face was very terrifying, the bare heart on his chest was beating slowly, the mercenary looked at his face, and then at his chest, thinking of the words just now, his pants suddenly became wet.

"Damn, it's ...... at this time"

The baron frowned.

I saw the scene inside. Xia Shi was also suspicious in his heart, and clenched the sword in his hand.

After all, there were too many terrifying things to see on that island, and she quickly adapted to the baron's appearance, and kept walking towards the door in a stealthy state, and just after a few steps, the baron's face suddenly turned to this side:

"Whoa? Look what I found, a cute little mouse. ”

Natsu's body stiffened.

- Stealth skills have been recognized?

Although her assassin career level has not yet reached the fourth turn, it is already quite high. The skill has been increasing with the level.,It's actually seen through by this monster that doesn't look very strong.。

She slowly rose from the ground. Turning to look at the monster wrapped in black gas, he squinted his eyes and asked:

"Baron Brooke?"

"Huh...... I've never seen you before, and I'm the way I am, so you can still guess who I am, an assassin sent by some guy? ”

The baron's eyes kept looking at Xia's body and face, and there was a hint of interest in his voice:

"Which idiot's idea is this. Sending such a beautiful assassin over should be worth a lot of money to sell you directly to the nobles. ”

After a pause, he added:

"If it's a virgin, it's worth more."

“……”

Xia's eyebrows were raised, and he put on a sword posture that integrated offense and defense:

"Listen to what you mean. You seem to do this kind of thing a lot? ”

The baron smiled triumphantly:

"It's just an occasional way to help someone catch a woman who is left alone on the road, and then give them a wonderful "education" before they can please the guests. ”

"But then there was a magician who needed a living person to make a real thing, so I sold those women at a high price, and now I don't have many good goods left in my hands......"

A sinister smile appeared on his face:

"So...... I'm hungry all the time! ”

After saying that, his figure rushed towards this side!

Xia calmly adjusted the position of the sword, and the baron's body hit her sword like a cannonball, and several sparks burst out between the blade and the black flesh.

"Oh? You don't seem to be a thief, but you can block my blow head-on. ”

The baron stood three meters away from her, and looked at his right hand, which had been cut out with a shallow mark, and there was something strange in his voice.

"Strangely, the demonic aura he exudes is nothing more than a mid-level dù, that is, a C to B level; How can it be so strong? ”

Xia used his secret sword technique to block the opponent's attack, and vigilance rose in his heart.

"Shhhh

At this moment, the baron's figure suddenly disappeared.

The two guards who had been standing quietly in the room suddenly raised their weapons and attacked her fiercely, Xia didn't have much effort to deal with this kind of miscellaneous fish, and slapped one of them in the face with his sword, knocking the two of them unconscious to the ground.

Although most of these two people are innocent, and it is nothing to kill them directly, she still wants to stay alive to ask about the secrets of the Baron's Mansion.

"Your strength is beyond my expectations."

The baron's voice rang out in the empty room:

"Jianhao...... No, Sword King? I didn't expect my opponent to send such a difficult person to trouble me, but you don't act like an assassin. ”

Natsu's eyes glowed with blue light.

She noticed a ball of malicious spirit quickly approaching her from the side and behind, and swung her long sword with her backhand, which stabbed right on the person who attacked her, making a soft "ding" sound. It's like stabbing metal.

"Impossible! You can see through my stealth? ”

The baron's voice was a little incredulous.

"Nothing is impossible."

Xia stood in place, and the long sword slowly pointed at his location:

"Just like you just saw through my stealth, I'm surprised."

"Accidents? Hum! ”

The baron's voice was filled with anger:

"It seems that the person who hired you didn't sue you, I was already an assassin master in the kingdom ten years ago, what kind of peers haven't seen it? I admit that your strength is indeed not weak. But wearing that ridiculous outfit to hide it from my eyes? It's just whimsical! ”

Xia thought of the hint of the stealth effect -50%, and secretly cursed the system's pit father: You said that you were originally a bug-like store, what's wrong with having more bugs? I have to do something realistic, isn't this going to kill me?

"Fortunately, this guy is not the kind of enemy who is very powerful, the level should be less than 600, and I am not afraid of the sneak attack of the assassins, otherwise I will really be in trouble today."

After the baron said those words, there was no movement, and after a while, Xia slowly put away his long sword.

Then came to the mercenary who was crying on the ground. patted her on the shoulder, and said softly:

"It's all right, stand up with the weapon on the ground, don't sit on the ground."

Glancing at her steaming pants, she shook her head secretly.

The mercenary stopped crying and looked around in fear:

"That monster...... Gone? ”

Xia looked at the empty gate and said:

"He knew that he would not take advantage of me, so he fled decisively; But this is his territory, and maybe there is some kind of sinister arrangement. We'd better get out of here quickly. ”

Thinking of the terrible traps of that catacomb, Natsu had some concerns about this space buried deep underground.

She turned her head. Ask the mercenary who slowly got up from the ground:

"Is there anyone else locked underground?"

"There were about fifty more than 50 people, all of whom were women with me, and the men were all locked up in the east."

Although the mercenary was a little embarrassed just now, she was also an experienced warrior, so she quickly adjusted her feelings and wiped her wet pants slightly. Picked up the weapon dropped by the guards from the ground.

"You'd better come with me, the Baron is a powerful assassin who may not have gone far, but hid by our side and waited for an opportunity."

Natsu glanced around and walked towards the door with his sword in hand. The mercenary hurriedly followed her.

"Go out, everyone remember to stay together, it's better not to run around, then I won't be able to protect you!"

Natsu opened the sturdy iron door and shouted to the women inside.

Then he came to the east again, unlocked the door, and shouted the same thing to the people inside.

The men seemed to be tortured, and they were all weak, and Natsu hardened his heart and drove them up, letting them leave through the exit of the underground passage.

"The banquet above shouldn't be over yet, so many victims poured in at once, presumably this matter will be a big scandal in the kingdom."

She wasn't worried about the safety of these people, wasn't the baron's 10th anniversary celebration all his own people, and some of them were local nobles who didn't deal with him, slaughtering witnesses in full view? That's the kind of thing that a fool would do.

In order to hide her identity, she covered her face with a cloth, and her long silver hair was tucked into the collar, which did not look so conspicuous.

"Congratulations, you completed the side quest: Skinning Baron's Cellar and gained 37,000,000 XP and +300 Fame."

Xia took a speechless look at the system panel:

Is this a side quest?

As for the more than 30 million experience, she must have been happy in the past, but now she lacks interest.

Because after the four turns, at least hundreds of millions of experience are required for each level, and tens of millions are not enough to plug the teeth.

As for reputation, it's even more useless.

"You go up with them, remember to hide your weapon, I have other things to do."

Xia Shen left the basement, got out of the cut gap, and came outside.

"Stephanie, how's the situation in the room?"

"Master, that person has been making out with the woman and has no intention of leaving, are you okay over there...... Wow! Suddenly, a large number of people rushed in, and the guards were trying to stop them. ”

"Nothing, keep watching."

Xia couldn't go back for the time being, and couldn't enter the banquet hall as a guest, so he had to find a hidden place next to him and squat, waiting for the news of the black-clothed little Lori inside.

Just when she was bored waiting, the shape of the shì in the hall changed unexpectedly. (To be continued......)
