On a quiet night, the cold silver glow of the moon shone on the town of Brand.

Baron Roy's castle stands quietly, covered with the sparkle of starry sky.

Having just experienced a big battle, Fiona's alertness was still slightly high. However, when I saw the ancient castle close at hand, the tense aura around my body was finally relieved.

Ever since that incident, she has developed an inexplicable affection for the castle.

She has been under the fence since she was a child, and subconsciously regards this place as her home.

For in this old and humble castle, no matter how late it is, someone will leave a candlestick for her, and at the somewhat dilapidated table in the hall, no matter how late it is, someone will leave a delicious meal for her.

Today she went to the auction house for a day, and on the way home in the evening, she had a hearty battle with a master of the same level, and now she is really a little hungry.

Thinking of Li Yanbei's cooking skills, Fiona pursed her lips.

She had never eaten such a delicious dish.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that this waste second son could have such craftsmanship.

Pushing open the door, Fiona entered the castle. What catches your eye is the red wine that has been awakened, as well as three or four plates of chic and beautiful side dishes on the table.

"Lord Baron?"

The smell of food on the table made her nerves that had been soothed relax a lot again.

Accustomed to the days of the bloody guards licking blood every day, she suddenly liked the comfort of now.

And I don't know when she began to think that Baron Roy's smiling face was not as annoying as it was at the beginning.

There are even some ......

"Lord Baron?"

Twice called, but no one answered.

The echo echoed through the empty castle, causing Fiona to frown slightly.

"Cut. ”

Walking slowly to the table, Fiona put down her sword.

"Where did this guy run away again?"

Reaching out and touching the food, the residual temperature was acceptable, and a note under the goblet immediately entered her sight.

"I'll pick some herbs, and you eat. ”

Fiona rolled her eyes as she looked at the twisted handwriting on the note.

"The words are ugly. It's really a guy who doesn't learn anything. ”

Pouring herself half a glass of red wine, Fiona picked up a piece of sweet potato with bright sugar with a fork.

"Hmm......"

The soft sweet potatoes are very sweet, and the caramel juice on the outside is also very crispy.

"Delicious. ”

Fiona tilted her head in satisfaction.

"I remember the guy called this dish sweet potato shredding. ”

Waving her fork, she hurriedly picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.

"I've never had such a delicious dessert, no cream and no eggs, how did this guy come up with it. ”

Thinking of Li Yanbei's sparkling eyes, Fiona couldn't help but chuckle.

"Maybe this guy is a natural foodie. ”

Thinking of that guy, Fiona smiled faintly.

But she didn't know that the smile on the corner of her mouth at the moment was so warm.

......

Jester shuffled with heavy steps to the door of the deacon's chamber.

The fight with Fiona just now made him tired.

Although he exhausted all his strength, it only took half an hour, which was much worse than the agreement made by Chief Deacon North within an hour.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a waste second son, and Enos's methods are estimated to not take more than a few moments.

Thinking of this, Jester let out a long sigh of relief.

Pushing open the door to the chamber, he bowed respectfully.

"Lord North, I ......"

The sound stopped abruptly, and Jester froze in place.

Looking at the vague shadow in the middle of the hall, the blood in his body seemed to freeze.

"You... You ......"

On the wall in the middle of the hall is a carved idol of the Great God of Darkness.

And the phantom standing in front of the statue with his back to him at this moment is the big man he respects like a god.

"You... Why are you here?"

Genos fell to his knees in a hurry, his forehead pressed against the cold, marble floor.

"Total... Lord Archdeacon!"

The phantom was dressed in a black robe with a cold white mask on his face.

There was not the slightest fluctuation of dark power around him, but it exuded an awe-inspiring momentum.

"Alas......"

The black-robed phantom sighed faintly, and then slowly turned around.

In the hollow of the pale mask, two cold rays of light shot out from the bright eyes.

"Jester. ”

Jester's shoulders trembled slightly, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He had a hunch.

A sense of foreboding.

"Big... My lord!"

With a sneer, the black-robed phantom shook his head faintly.

"Actually, you can't be blamed for that. ”

Jester felt a chill in his heart, and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Big ......"

He tried to open his mouth to reply, but was interrupted by the black-robed phantom.

"Who are you, my lord?"

Hearing this, Jester was shocked.

He hurriedly looked up, only to find a figure standing beside him at some point.

"You... You ......"

"Jester. ”

Before Jester could say more, the black-robed phantom said lightly.

"You go down, it's not a conversation you can be part of. ”

Hearing the Archdeacon say this, Jester shuddered.

"It's... It's ......"

The tone of the black-robed phantom was unusually calm.

"Go back and get some rest and remember to close the door outside. ”

Jester knocked heavily, then cautiously withdrew.

Before going out, he secretly glanced at the visitor, but found that this strange figure was also dressed in a black robe and a mask, and his dress was slightly similar to that of the archdeacon.

The door to the hall was shut, and the black-robed phantom suddenly chuckled.

"Your Excellency, ......"

"Yanbei. ”

Under the mask, Li Yanbei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Li Yanbei. ”

Hearing Li Yanbei report to his home, the black-robed phantom nodded lightly.

"Strange name, but it sounds domineering. ”

Li Yanbei was silent, and the essence of his eyes under the mask made this dark hall bright.

"You are ......"

"Snake. ”

The black-robed phantom bent humbly.

"Just call me Snake. ”

Li Yanbei raised his chin slightly.

"In an instant, condensation and deification. ”

Although he didn't feel the slightest bit of the strength of the black-robed phantom, Li Yanbei still roughly guessed his realm.

"Lord Snake must at least have a cultivation above the Transformation God Realm. ”

Li Yanbei unabashedly exposed his identity from the outside interface.

Because he knows very well that in front of the masters of this realm, any cover-up is a joke.

The great cultivators who have cultivated above the Divine Realm have been able to understand many unknown secrets. It is really a loss of identity to pretend to be stupid in front of such great monks.

Snake straightened up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the mask.

"Forgive me for not understanding what you said, but in my opinion, what you are talking about should be the realm level of your interface. ”

Li Yanbei nodded slightly.

"In the presence of a great monk like you, I don't have to hide anything. ”

Snake laughed twice.

"I don't know your identity, but I guess you have been reincarnated. ”

"To be honest, I don't know. ”

Li Yanbei's tone suddenly became a little more lonely.

"But let's not mention the past, let's talk about it, what are you going to do today?"

Snake waved his hand slightly.

"Yanbei people, whether you believe it or not, in fact, I have no malicious intentions. I'm only here because my Black Rock City Deacon's chief is dead. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei was slightly surprised.

"This interface also has spiritual weapons such as life cards?"

Snake calmly returned.

"I don't know what the fate card you are talking about is Yanbei Daren, but ......"

He raised his hand, and a extinguished candlestick appeared before him.

"My chief deacon will give me a little fire of the soul, and if he dies, the candlestick will be extinguished. ”

With a faint laugh, a little light shot out of Snake's hollow eyes.

"So I'll also know that something happened in that town as soon as possible, so that the soul body condensed by spiritual power can quickly get here. ”

With a sigh, Li Yanbei loosened his tense shoulders.

"I see, this is similar to the fate card of our cultivation realm. ”

Raising his eyes and looking at the black-robed phantom, Li Yanbei sneered.

"The spiritual power you are talking about should be the divine consciousness of our cultivation realm, and your current appearance is called the soul body, and we call it the original god over there. ”

Snake bent humbly.

"Taught. ”

Li Yanbei bowed slightly and returned the salute.

Raising his head, he stared at Snake's soul with burning eyes.

"What are you going to do next?"

Snake sighed as if embarrassed.

"You beheaded my chief deacon, and I was very embarrassed. But with my current state of soul body, I can't guarantee that I can kill you. ”

Li Yanbei sneered.

"I've just just built the foundation now, and your current Yuan Shen must at least have Yuan Infant-level combat power, to be honest, I'm not the opponent of your soul body now. ”

Snake smiled wryly.

"Don't make trouble, my lord, I think you're dangerous. ”

Leaning forward slightly, Snake said cautiously,

"That's it, sir. Shall the two of us work together?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanbei was stunned.

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, cooperation. Join us behind the scenes. ”

Snake sneered.

"You see that I don't have a deacon chief in Black Rock City for the time being, can you ......?"

Hearing this, Li Yanbei frowned slightly.

Seeing that Li Yanbei was a little hesitant, Snake immediately persuaded him,

"My lord, please rest assured, I promise not to snoop on your privacy, nor to track down your true identity, nor to use the rules of the dark curtain to restrict you, you see ......"

Li Yanbei shook his head slowly.

"I don't like trouble, so forget it. ”

Raising his eyes to look at Snake's phantom, Li Yanbei said loudly,

"If you want to avenge your subordinates, do it, and I'll do it. If you're not sure, then I'm leaving. ”

Hearing Li Yanbei's unhappy tone, Snake hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't be in such a hurry, listen to me. ”

Li Yanbei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh?"

The seduction in Snake's eyes seemed to overflow.

"I give money, big money. ”

"Money, a lot of money?"

After Li Yanbei, who was used to being poor during this time, heard the word "give money", he suddenly became a spirit, if there was no mask to block his face at this moment, Snake would see his foreign side.

"How much do you give?"

Seeing that Li Yanbei's attitude suddenly changed dramatically, the tension in the black-robed phantom's heart suddenly disappeared by half.

"Twenty gold coins will be given to you every month, and it will be your reward for the deacon's place. You see......"

"You don't have to say it. ”

Li Yanbei pretended to cough twice, and then returned to his fairy-like appearance.

"My great cultivator in the realm of cultivation will be blinded by these yellow and white things?

Hearing this, Snake's heart sank.

He suddenly felt that he was a little stupid, because a great cultivator of this level had gone through reincarnation, how could he look at mundane mortal things?

"But ......"

Reaching out and touching the edge of the mask a few times, Li Yanbei seemed to be lost in thought.

"But if you kill your chief deacon, you still have to give an account. ”

Just when Snake was secretly a little discouraged, Li Yanbei's 'explanation' made him suddenly energetic.

"Yanbei people ......"

"So be it. ”

Li Yanbei said with embarrassment,

"I'll take care of the deacon for you first, and when you find a new deacon, I'll leave the dark curtain, and that's it. ”

Snake was stunned.

"Huh?"

Li Yanbei nodded in a pretentious gesture, and then turned around.

"You tell your subordinates that I will come here tomorrow evening to take up my post. ”

Snake blinked, as if he didn't react for a moment.

"Adult ......"

Li Yanbei walked out of the deacon point without looking back, and his neat and crisp steps did not hesitate at all.

Snake had a feeling that the reincarnation of the overhaul seemed to be afraid that he would suddenly regret it.

Li Yanbei's figure gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared.

Snake looked at the empty hall, and his dull eyes instantly regained pride and wisdom.

"Interesting, interesting. ”

With a wave of his hand, the virtual body slowly dissipated into the hall.

And in a large-scale ancient castle extremely far away from Blackstone City, a figure sitting on a throne in the middle of the main hall suddenly trembled.

"Li Yanbei ......"

Slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were red.

And the face dyed by the strange color of the dark green candle flame on the wall was unusually calm.

"What a strange name......

The cold face that had not changed for 10,000 years suddenly raised a curvature.

"But things are getting more and more interesting......"

"Li Yanbei ......"

"Oh no......"

The smile grew, and the crimson light in the man's eyes suddenly flourished.

"You should be called Baron Roy......"
