At this moment, Li Yanbei's blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his eyes were red.

The legs under the table were shaking, and the clothes on the back were already soaked with sweat.

But even so, his face was still full of smiles.

It's a smile that's worse than crying.

Raising his hand with difficulty, he only felt that the spoon in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

In his previous life, he spent thousands of calamities with his own body to cultivate into a realm of cave and void, and rarely met opponents in the world, even if he went through thousands of difficulties and dangers, he could smile calmly.

Even when he killed Bai with his own hands in that desperate situation, he was calm and calm in his conversation.

But today, when he faced this pot of 'Fiona's Secret Classic Nutritious Mashed Potato Breakfast', he seemed to be trembling as if he was facing a great enemy.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva hard, Li Yanbei's smile stiffened slightly.

"Fei... Fiona ......"

He handed the spoon forward, trying to make his smile look natural.

"It's been a busy morning, and you're hungry too. Or ......"

Fiona waved her hand.

"I've eaten it. ”

With a faint smile, she seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

You must know that this ice beauty never laughs easily.

"The doughnuts at the Maggie bakery on the corner of town were nice and I had a big glass of milk. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei froze in place.

"What? You've eaten it!"

Blinking, Li Yanbei looked confused.

"Where did you get the money?"

Fiona was slightly stunned.

"My own money. ”

Li Yanbei was stunned.

He suddenly felt that his head was not enough.

"You... of money?"

Fiona took the purse from her waist and threw it on the table.

"I am the fourth-order intermediate blood guard of the family blood guard, the level is equivalent to the head of the family guard, and I have sixty silver coins every month. ”

"Sixty silver coins!"

Li Yanbei jumped up, and then pointed at Fiona with a spoon.

"Aren't you rich?"

Fiona tilted her head slightly, a thoughtful look on her face.

"It should be okay, but it's not enough to catch up with our team leader. ”

Just as she turned her head, Fiona looked at Li Yanbei with a surprised expression.

"Our squad leader is a fifth-order senior, although he has not been knighted, but every month, like you, he can receive a hundred silver coins. ”

Li Yanbei didn't bother to pay attention to how much money Fiona's team leader would receive, what he was most concerned about now was how much money Fiona had.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Li Yanbei's eyes rolled, and he threw the spoon in his hand into the basin, and then barked at Fiona's white teeth.

"Fiona, how much money did you bring with me to Brand this time?"

Fiona didn't notice the green light hidden behind Li Yanbei's eyes, because she was used to being cold, and she really didn't have much interest in this worldly yellow and white thing.

"My family has opened a silver merchant in Hearthstone, where is all my money. I remember that before leaving, I seemed to have taken three hundred silver coins. ”

Hearthstone is the main city of the Vlad Kimir family, which is a fourth-level large city. The bank, on the other hand, is a place where money and goods can be deposited and withdrawn.

Fiona's family is a descendant, that is, a subsidiary family of the Vlad Kimir family. Being able to run a silver merchant house in the Grand Duke's main city shows that Fiona's family is relatively close to the Vlad Kimir family.

However, Li Yanbei had no interest in Fiona's family at all, and what he was most interested in now was Fiona's three hundred silver coins.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Li Yanbei's smile became more and more flattering.

"Fiona, you ......"

With this look, even a fool can see what this guy wants to do.

Fiona raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of indifference.

"Want to borrow money? Yes. ”

Hearing that Fiona did not refuse, Li Yanbei looked happy.

"Oh, Fiona, thank you so much. ”

Li Yanbei stepped forward with an arrow step, and opened his hands as if to give Fiona a hug.

But Fiona's cold personality can't stand it.

I saw that her forehead was slightly wrinkled, and then she stretched out a finger and poked Li Yanbei straight in place.

"Don't be busy rejoicing yet, I'm conditional. ”

Li Yanbei's expression froze.

"Conditions? ”

Fiona withdrew her fingers and put her hands on her shoulders.

"When I went to the market this morning to buy groceries, I was found by Lord Orn's men. ”

Hearing Viscount Aoun's name, Li Yanbei frowned slightly.

"What is he looking for you for?"

Fiona said lightly,

"He asked me for a favor, and when it was done, he sold me the Grass for only two hundred and seventy silver coins. ”

Li Yanbei was taken aback.

"Two hundred and seventy silver coins, wouldn't that save thirty silver coins? What the hell is it that you are looking for so much money?"

Fiona's face was calm.

"Because his fourth-order masters have other missions on their hands, he asked me to help him deliver a batch of important goods to Hearthstone. ”

His pupils shrank slightly, and Li Yanbei suddenly understood something.

"I see. ”

The corners of his mouth hung an imperceptible arc, and he already smelled a hint of conspiracy.

After living for so many years and going through so many tricks and tricks, what is there in this world that he can't see through at a glance?

However, he silently calculated in his heart that he could do a lot of things by saving these thirty silver coins.

So he smiled.

"It's a six-day round trip from Blackstone to Hearthstone, and it's not too far. Besides, you don't have much to do here now, so why don't you just go for a walk. ”

Hearing Li Yanbei's words, Fiona's face turned straight.

She looked at Li Yanbei with burning eyes, and her expression was extremely serious.

"Okay, since you agreed, let's talk about the conditions. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei was stunned.

"Huh?"

Fiona lifted her chin, her eyes shining with agility.

"The matter of Ye Lancao has been negotiated, but we haven't talked about my three hundred silver coins yet. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei blinked, and suddenly a shyly smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, Fiona, who are the two of us. Mine is not yours, your ......"

"Cut ......"

Fiona snorted.

"It's better to be clear, I don't want to squander your hard-earned money in the Smoke Willow Alley. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanbei's mouth was directly blocked.

He stared at Fiona blankly, and remembered what his current identity as 'Roy' had been.

"But don't worry, I'll lend you these three hundred silver coins. ”

With a wave of her hand, Fiona's face returned to normal.

"Not only did I lend you the Night Lan Grass, but I also helped you get the last of the materials, the Blue Wolf Thorns, and when you get the family's money, you can pay me back a total of five hundred silver coins. ”

Li Yanbei was well aware of the price of the blue wolf thorns, and he knew that this deal was a good deal.

The Blue Wolf Thorn is a more difficult material to get than the Yelan grass, and the price is only a lot more.

Fiona only asked him to return five hundred silver coins, which must have been a condition......

Glancing at Fiona secretly, he asked cautiously,

"Fiona, what exactly are your conditions?"

Fiona looked Li Yanbei up and down, and the corners of her mouth hung up with an imperceptible arc.

Looking at Fiona's weird smile, Li Yanbei suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He subconsciously wrapped his shirt tightly, and then swallowed hard.

"Let me explain first, Uncle Ben doesn't sell his art. ”

"Cut. ”

Fiona sneered disdainfully.

"Don't be afraid, Lord Baron, I'm not interested in you. ”

The curvature of the corners of her mouth became heavier and heavier, and Fiona's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement when she looked at Li Yanbei.

"I just want you to promise me that I will be the guinea pig of the 'Fiona Ultimate Mystery Meal' in the future. ”

......

In a cold tavern, a small table in a dark corner.

There was a large glass of beer on the small table, as well as a few plates of snacks in twos and threes.

Viscount Orn sat at the table, his face obscured by an erected collar and a deep brim.

He didn't move the snacks on the table, just quietly looked at the large glass of beer in front of him.

He seemed to be waiting for someone.

I don't know how long I sat like this, until the blood-red sunset fell on the mountain.

A big man pushed open the door of the tavern and walked straight to the bar.

When Viscount Orn saw this big man, his pupils shrank slightly.

"The old rules. ”

The big man had a beard and a round hat with a large brim on his head. The brown eyes behind the high bridge of the nose exude a vicissitudes of life.

The boss smiled and nodded, then handed over a glass of vodka with a very strong force.

took the wine glass, and the bearded man drank it all.

With a long exhale, his gaze turned in the direction of Viscount Orn.

"An old acquaintance is here. ”

The big man pursed his lips, his brows slightly raised.

Lowering his glass, he slowly walked over to Viscount Orn and sat down.

"What do you care about this time?"

His fingers tapped on the beer glass that seemed to be overflowing, and the bearded man sneered.

Viscount Orn looked at the big man, his face unmoved.

"Dark Curtain. ”

Hearing this, the big man frowned slightly.

"Dark Curtain?"

The Dark Curtain is a large underground organization of the Dark Empire, which is different from other mercenary groups and local forces in that it does not belong to its own territory.

However, in the Dark Empire, no force dared to underestimate it, not even the prince who sat on such a huge power as the royal city.

The Dark Curtain does not have its own place of belonging, because of the particularity of its organization. It has the largest intelligence network in the entire Dark Empire, and it is also the largest killer organization.

To put it simply, if you want to know any secrets, you can, as long as you have enough credits.

If you have any enemies, you can do that, as long as you pay enough silver, you can easily buy his life.

The Dark Curtain is an organization that is so mysterious that ordinary people can't even get in touch with it. However, like these lords with titles and rich families, they naturally have a way to connect with the dark curtain.

"Who?"

There was no more playfulness on the bearded man's face.

You must know that if you let a sixth-order high-ranking viscount spend money to hire a killer, then this idea must be very hard.

Viscount Orn took out the vial and placed it on the table.

"Baron Roy, let him eat. ”

After hearing the name 'Baron Roy', Dahan's face suddenly became extremely strange.

"Who?"

As if he felt that he hadn't heard clearly, Dahan confirmed again,

"Baron Roy?"

Dahan looked surprised.

Viscount Orn didn't pay attention to the big man's surprise, but nodded faintly.

"Not bad. Vlad Kimir Roy. ”

The big man blinked, as if he didn't quite believe his ears.

"Is that the waste from Brand Town?"

Viscount Orn frowned, his face a little impatient.

"Are you going to pick it up?"

Dahan was stunned, as if he sensed Viscount Orn's dissatisfaction.

"Pick it up, why don't you pick it up?"

With a grin, the big man picked up the beer on the table and drank it down.

"As long as the silver coins are enough, the Dark Curtain will fulfill all your wishes. ”

Putting down the wine glass, the big man wiped his mouth.

"However, I heard that he has a fourth-order intermediate guard by his side, so we will have to dispatch a fifth-order master to settle this matter. And I'm the only one in the fifth order of the rudder in Black Rock City. Do you know the price of my offer......

Viscount Orn's face sank.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee Fiona's absence for seven days. ”

Hearing this, the bearded man raised his eyebrows.

"Oh?"

Viscount Orn narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You only need to dispatch two fourth-order masters. ”

The bearded man spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's just a waste, it's like giving us money for nothing, and you still need to dispatch the fourth order?. ”

Viscount Orn's slightly narrowed eyes shot out two fine lights.

"I want to be foolproof, and I don't know it. ”

As if he had heard something funny, the big man burst out laughing.

"That's not going to be. ”

Shaking his head slowly, his face full of laugh lines of disdain and contempt.

"It's just a piece of Dark Force Zero. ”
