The system that didn't speak no matter what it was called in the Magic Administration before, but now it suddenly popped up and made a serious request. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This made Brunei feel very angry about the system. But seeing that the system said it so seriously, so seriously, as if something big really happened, it made Brunei really unable to ignore him completely as he said before. After all, if nothing else is said, once the affairs of the system are exposed, the future of Brunei will be completely ruined.

"Ah, I suddenly want to go to the bathroom. I remember passing by a public toilet just now, so you wait for me. In the end, Brunei still had to decide to do what the system required, but he secretly swore in his heart that as long as the importance of this matter was a little less important than the system said, he would definitely find a way to make the system look good.

"Aren't you scared and want to run alone?" said Sal in a mocking tone, and while he didn't put down what he was holding, he picked up the large bag that Brunei had put on the ground, and said with a smile on his face, "I said it before, you need my help to speak." What's the politeness, Brunei Brother-Brother-?"

Brunei snorted coldly, and was about to squirt at Sal again, but Sue interrupted him and pushed him: "Don't make trouble! But if you really dare to sneak away as Thrall said—"

Su interlocked his fingers with his hands and shook them his chest, revealing a pretending vicious look, and deliberately suppressed his originally mellow and gentle voice: "Hmph, you will know the consequences tonight!"

Brunei Si, who had already built up momentum and was ready to fight Sal for three hundred rounds, was defeated in an instant, and after sneering and agreeing, he hurriedly ran away as fast as he could, not so much to hurry up for a minute and a second, but to say that he seemed to run away from the front of the man-eating demon king. All in all, in the end, Brunei managed to find a shady alley that didn't seem to be anyone.

Walking in, holding his hand against the wall, and after gasping for a while, and swallowing a mouthful of saliva with a sweet smell, Brunei cheered up, frowned dissatisfiedly at the smell of decay in this alley, held his breath slightly, and asked in his heart: "This place should meet your requirements." Say, what's wrong?"

[You seem to have been suspected. Someone has already set their sights on you and is starting to investigate you. 】

Although the system had already described the news before, and Brunei thought he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked and couldn't help blurting out: "What?!"

[You see, if you were on the street, I'm afraid you'd be completely exposed by now.] 】

Brunei ignored the system, shook his head, barely calmed down, pursed his mouth vigorously, frowned and said in his heart: "When you say doubtful, do you mean -- what do you mean by targeting and investigating?

You're too self-centered, little Bruneith. Of course, this is not a bad thing. As the protagonist I chose, it is natural that I should have such self-confidence. You're right, but their focus isn't on you, it's on me. 】

Brunei's brain was buzzing at that moment.

[You haven't heard of a magical item that can talk freely to people in the past, have you? A ruby that can actively turn into a magic emblem that hides the sky and the sea--you shouldn't have thought about this kind of thing in the past, right?] I call myself the "Sun King", a tribal lord 50,000 years ago, so, assuming what I said is true, have I only met you alone in the past 50,000 years?]

Brunei's whole face instantly turned pale, cold sweat trickled down his body, and the emotions that dominated him at this moment were no longer surprise, but fear and regret, so he tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound.

[Have you thought about this too? At least for a moment. You don't have to belittle yourself like that, it's a fluke that everyone will have. Calm down, little Brunei, you are the protagonist I chose, you won't have an accident so casually. Okay, think about it, what are you going to do now?]

Whether he admits it or not, the system's usual incoherent tone, as well as his inexplicable diction of words as always, have brought Brunei's confused brain back to normal a little. After possessing normal analytical skills, Brunei understood that the first thing he had to do was to make amends and figure out his current situation: "System, please tell me everything, everything must be told to me in 1510." Now I can't get you out of me, we're grasshoppers on a rope. ”

[No, not yet. The system's words made Brunei smell something bad, and soon, his hunch came true.

[So, I've told you many times, some skills.] The point skill represents your dependence on the system, that is, my existence, and your complete trust, and from then on I am an integral part of you. At that time, it can be said that we are really grasshoppers on a rope, and we will share weal and woe from now on. Only then will I be able to tell you all. 】

As expected, the system made a request, in all fairness, his requirements were not high, however, Brunei's trust in the system had long since fallen to the freezing point, and the possible risks behind his completely incomprehensible "point skills" were completely unpredictable, if it was not completely cornered, Bruneith really didn't want to agree: "Listen to you, the system is not an inseparable part of me now." That is, I still have a chance to get you out of me?"

[That's right. To Brunei's surprise, the system seemed to really intend to be open and honest with him, and readily admitted it.

[It's hard to drive me away with your own consciousness, but if you can find the right way, with the help of others, I really can't continue to forcibly attach to you against your will.] So, what are you going to do? Ask for help? It's not very far from the Magic Authority. Maybe the people who are tracking you will be willing to help you, too?]

After the system really explained the situation to Brunei like this, it was unlikely that he would drive the system away. Because Brunei wants to become a mage, he is considered a mage, whether his purpose is to give back to his fathers and fellow villagers, or whether he simply wants to satisfy his vanity, he cannot actively tell others about the existence of the system.

Because once that happens, the fact that he cheated with the system will be exposed, and when the time comes, not to mention becoming a mage, the final result may be far less than ignoring the system at that time, silently being a civilian, looking forward to the day when he can become a high-level magic attendant trusted by powerful mages like his parents.

The system knows all this. Brunei had never doubted this in the past, but he hadn't seriously thought about it either, and it wasn't until today, when he realized that everything was under the control of the system, that he felt a chill down his spine for the first time.

However, from that night on, there was no turning back.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll order skills. But now is not the time. If it's really the same as you say, then I've become dependent on you and forced to trust you completely. After considering all the stakes, although the situation did not get any better, Brunei calmed down, "Tell me clearly." Who's eyeing me, and why?"

【...... You are indeed very capable of understanding, and you deserve to be a monster with an intelligence of up to 18. So I'll start at the beginning. I've probably told you in the past two days that there are three stages in the process of my attachment to you, depending on how much you accept me. In the first stage, as long as you want to drive me away, I can't stay, in the second stage, as long as we pay a certain price, we can forcibly separate through technical means, and in the third stage, which is now, we are completely integrated. 】

Brunei was very unhappy with the unhurried appearance of the system: "I don't need to repeat it, let's get to the point. ”

[Hmm.] Although the system responded, it opened the topic and began to popularize science, [You shouldn't have learned this aspect in school. Each mage's "attributes" are completely different, and the more sensitive people, they can sense the different "breaths" of the mages. You are not a mage, so your "breath" is released by me. 】

Brunei wasn't impatient this time, just frowned and fell into deep thought.

[Of course, when I was your "Magic Emblem", you were no different from a mage in a way, and the "breath" I released was the kind that was unique to you. But in the first two stages, because we are not fully integrated, I am not always your "magic emblem", so my "breath" will leak out uncontrollably. 】

[You also thought about it, didn't you?] Why did that old thing named Sid behave so strangely that day? It was because the "breath" he felt in you should not have been released by a magic apprentice. 】

Brunei swallowed hard: "I, I've been targeted by the Empire?"

[Calm down, don't be so nervous.] If the Empire is eyeing you, why do you want to do anything to investigate you secretly? Investigate you openly, and even kill you directly, do you still have any ability to resist? I don't know what exactly is staring at you, I can only tell you that the person you met in the Magic Administration before who accosted you was a spy. 】

Brunei didn't say anything this time, just looked back warily and didn't find anyone paying attention to him. But he was still not at ease, although he was used to communicating with the system with his mouth, he still pursed his mouth hard, tightened his face, and said as quietly as possible in his heart: "That person?

[He casts a small spell on you to check for "breath", just as he shakes your hand.] Of course, because our relationship was already in the second phase at that time, he might not have been able to find out if I deliberately hid it. By the way, he was the one who bumped into you on the road before, and it's likely that he started to suspect you at that time. 】

Brunei thought about nodding, but tried to control himself, and his body did not move at all: "I see, you didn't speak at that time because of this...... If so, maybe he's still behind us?"

I'm not completely omnipotent, and I don't know anything like that. But, little Bruneith, I'm supposed to tell you? Among the skills you can choose from, there's one skill called "Scouting"-]

Brunei grinned, turned around and walked out of the alley silently, step by step towards the place where Su and Sal had been before, and at the same time said quietly in his heart: "I know." Raise the scout point to the highest and use it. ”

The system seemed to let out a faint snicker, but it was also possible that Brunei thought it had heard.

【Okay.】 Then, increase the non-class-specific skill Scout to a maximum value of 60, base value 25, and consume 35 points of interest. Next, a 1D100 reconnaissance check is performed. 】

Two virtual images of the ten-sided dice swirling in Brunei's mind once again appeared, but these things did not consume Brunei's brain power and did not occupy his field of vision, so his actions could be said to be completely unaffected.

[Verification result: 33<60, reconnaissance successful.] There doesn't seem to be anything special around. 】

At the same time, Brunei relaxed his eyes, lost focus, swept over several reflective surfaces around him, and took advantage of the turn to look around, he really did not see any suspicious signs.

“...... What do you mean by 'nothing special'?" asked Brunei silently in his mind.

[Because when you want to "scout" a person, if the other party is "sneaking", you have to fight skills.] If it fails, even if it succeeds, you won't find out about it. But don't worry, if you deliberately sneak in, he won't be so stupid to deal with a target like yours with basically 0 anti-reconnaissance awareness. So, if you don't have anything special in your scouting results, it's probably nothing. 】

The system's tone was very brisk at the moment, as if all of a sudden, the matter of "being targeted", which had been so taken so seriously, had become completely unimportant at this moment. Only then did Brunei react, and shouted angrily in his heart with a little annoyance: "You are fooling me?"

No, I'm telling the truth. Because I don't have to lie to you. 】

The cynicism in the system's tone was overflowing, but Brunei didn't dare to get angry on the street, so he had to hold it in his heart, but the system's ridicule did not stop, until Brunei found an opportunity to roar and vent his anger, he felt that he had irreparable internal injuries in his body......
