Chapter 45: Temptation and Disguise
"It only took half a year to reach the current level. On the table in front of Ranut was a thick fuchsia record book, which was densely packed with information in the continental lingua franca, which was the basic information and introduction of the person's name and the name of the person to whom it belonged.
"Ye Xiao, a wanderer from Youqi Town, his specific origin is unknown, he has been staying in Youqi Town for about two months, and he has black hair...... "Lanut muttered for a while, and said to himself: "There is a bloodline nobleman with black hair...... It's supposed to be just a sudden rise in qualifications, but it's a pity......"
Lanut looked at Ye Xiao's name on the record book, shook his head and sighed: "This is the arrangement of fate, you may have been able to achieve greater achievements, but now...... Oh, it won't be long before it's over. ”
Although he was sighing, Lanut showed a smile that contained malice, and that smile gave the impression of obvious schadenfreude.
Tuk Tuk Tuk –
The seemingly ordinary wooden door was actually magically controlled, and the wooden door opened with the press of a magic button on the table.
Ye Xiao stepped into the room, turned around and gently closed the door, walked to the table in front of Lanut, lowered his hands and bowed his head for instructions. The room belonging to Lanut was simpler than the silver-haired old woman's room, with no decoration other than a bookshelf, a table, and a chair.
"There are some things that you should know even if I don't say it, but I still have an obligation to tell you the rights and responsibilities that you can enjoy. Ranut smiled, his tone full of encouragement and demagogy, as if a leader was praising his hard-working subordinates.
"The five of you can get 20% of the profit points obtained by the Shadow Alliance organization that belongs to the Eastern District of the mission, and there is a discount on any item purchased in the main store of the hall, and there are no mandatory tasks. Lanut stopped after finishing his sentence, as if he was giving Ye Xiao time to react, and at the same time observing the expression on Ye Xiao's face.
And Ye Xiao did not disappoint him, and really showed an excited look that was mixed with surprise and joy.
But in fact, Ye Xiao's heart was far from being as happy as he appeared, because after mastering alchemy, points were just a bunch of numbers that could be filled in at will for Ye Xiao, and without the cultivation method of promoting magicians and fighters, Ye Xiao's current strength was completely limited, and even more points could not help him grow by leaps and bounds.
The "Induction Meditation Technique" can exercise and improve Ye Xiao's spiritual power and soul, but it can't help Ye Xiao cultivate his magic power, and all the meditation techniques provided by the Shadow Alliance can only be cultivated to a high-level magic apprentice, plus the Dementor that Ye Xiao has already come into contact with once, and Gavana's words before he died, Ye Xiao has vaguely guessed what the purpose of the Shadow Alliance is.
Of course, it is not entirely correct to say that he does not feel excited at all, at least with a stable source of points, Ye Xiao no longer has to waste time due to hunting, and after having enough time, Ye Xiao will be much simpler to carry out his plan, so Ye Xiao smiled very sincerely and happily, and Lanut did not see a hint at all.
"In addition, as one of the administrators of the Eastern Sector, you have the right to execute anyone who violates the rules of the Safe Zone and the Shadow Alliance, and in order to ensure your execution, our exclusive enchanter will create an enchanted equipment for you. Seeing the excited expression on Ye Xiao's face, Lanut nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "But what I want to tell you most is not actually these, but from now on, as long as there are no accidents, you are already a qualified member of the Shadow Alliance, and you are the kind of elite member whose status is higher than others." ”
To be honest, Ye Xiao didn't have a specific idea of what kind of organization the Shadow League was, but deep down in his heart, Ye Xiao was full of rejection of this cruel and dark organization, so he didn't show enough attention and excitement.
Lanut was obviously not very satisfied with Ye Xiao's demeanor at this time, so he continued: "Maybe you don't know our Shadow Alliance very well, I believe many people are like this, because Shadow League is a very low-key organization, but I can tell you clearly that our Shadow League can definitely rank in the top ten among all kingdom-level forces!"
Ye Xiao was stunned, this time it was really not a disguise, but really a little surprised.
As the designer of this world, Ye Xiao clearly knows the criteria for dividing the power levels of this world, and can rank in the top ten of the kingdom-level forces, excluding the exaggerated factor of Lanut, there are at least two or more eighth-level elemental demon emperors or apocalypsees of the same level in the Shadow Alliance, which are the peak masters of personal force value under the holy domain, and each of them is an absolute super powerhouse.
Although Ye Xiao had expected it and deduced from the unscrupulous style of the Shadow Alliance's unscrupulous style that the strength of the Shadow Alliance was definitely not ordinary, he did not expect it to be so powerful.
"Now you know, becoming an official member of the Shadow League is definitely a big event that can change your fate, and now the door to a bright future has been opened for you, it's up to you to keep going. Lanut looked at Ye Xiao's surprised expression and showed a smug smile, but he didn't know how much trouble this would bring to him.
Ye Xiao lowered his head, so that people could not see the expression on his face, thoughts flew in his mind, and he said in his heart: Sure enough, you can't relax at all, even if you successfully escape from here, you have to act cautiously, it seems that you still have to make a new planning adjustment to the plan.
"That's it, I'll find someone to notify the other East District managers, and in three days...... Uh, what's going on?" Before Lanut could finish his sentence, a crystal magic lamp on his desk flickered desperately, and the violent red light made the atmosphere in the room inexplicably tense.
"You come back in three days, and then I'll ask Master Bigo to make you an enchantment, so go back quickly." It seemed that something very urgent had happened, and after Ranut explained very quickly, he was ready to send Ye Xiao away.
Ye Xiao naturally didn't want to stay here too long, after all, acting in front of others was not an easy thing, and after thanking him, he simply turned around and walked out of the room.
As soon as Ye Xiao walked out of the room, Lanut hurriedly opened the drawer, took out a microphone-like crystal product, frowned and asked, "Idalo, what happened, why did you send me a red alert." ”
"Lord Lanut, you'd better come with me personally, the number of soul nuclei is wrong, collector...... He's dead. A deep voice came through the crystal microphone, and the tone was full of anxiety.
"What!?Where are you now?," Ranut stood up, his tone equally anxious.
"It's right outside. On the white staircase of the mission hall, Idaluo anxiously rushed towards the hall with a crystal communicator that was also similar to a microphone, just past Ye Xiao who came out.
Idalo didn't pay attention to Ye Xiao at all, and hurriedly walked towards the hall, while Ye Xiao turned around and stopped the moment the two of them staggered, took a deep breath and said, "Such a heavy fishy smell, and this feeling is ......"
Ye Xiao touched the goosebumps on his arm, looked thoughtfully at Idalo's distant back and said softly: "It's very similar to the feeling just now, but it's not as strong as those two, what is the reason?"
Ye Xiao frowned and thought hard, but in the absence of enough understanding, it was impossible for him to know where this strange sense of threat came from, so he simply ignored it.
Ye Xiao walked down the steps and walked along the path towards his hut, a lot of things had happened this day, no matter how strong his body was, he always had to rest.
