Chapter Seventy-One: The Assassin King of the Northlands

Eliot's answer was clearly beyond the old man's expectations.

He stood there stunned, his expression changing subtly, while constantly changing his expression with "Are you serious?" This look looked at the ranger who was lazily half-lying on the sofa.

It's a pity that the latter didn't look at him at all, he just stretched, until he noticed that the atmosphere was not quite right, and then coughed: "I want to exercise more." ”

For some reason, his confidence sounded somewhat insufficient.

Also, although Eliot thinks that he has many means to save his life, and the old man in front of him is also a senior who has been retired for many days, the name of the Ninth Manor has always been thunderous in the ears of the wanderers in the main material realm.

It was the supreme temple of the wanderers.

If every thief who escapes into the Shadow Realm is considered to be an assassin, then joining the Ninth Manor means that no one else will dare to underestimate your abilities, no matter where you are in the multiverse.

Maybe your level is not very high, and your ontological lethality is not very strong, but the name Ninth Manor means weird, intrigue, wine, and poison...... and numerous terrorist-attacks (although at least half of them were carried out by force).

All in all, the Ninth Estate is the holiest of sanctuary sites in the minds of wanderers, thieves, and rangers.

It is said that every wanderer who enters the Ninth Manor will complete a qualitative transformation.

This is something that other killer organizations cannot give.

It's not some kind of training, or some unique skill, but the core secrets of the Shadow Realm that give these killers, conspirators, or rangers a transcendent status.

And the reason why the Shadow Realm has been criticized by so many forces, but it has always stood tall, is also inextricably linked to the secrets guarded by the Ninth Manor.

Now, an opportunity to enter the Ninth Estate of the Shadow Realm was presented to Elliot, but he chose to turn it down.

If it spreads, I am afraid that it will cause a riot among the wanderers.

The stiff atmosphere lasted for a long time.

"I see."

The old man suddenly smiled, poured himself another glass of red wine, took a sip lightly, and showed an appreciative look: "I think I understand what you mean." ”

"Mr. Eliot, your evaluation in my heart has been raised a notch. Few people at your age can refuse such temptations, which is a testament to your self-confidence and determination. ”

The old man is boastful and does not hesitate to praise him.

From the way he danced and praised Eliot, it was impossible to tell that this guy was also a legendary powerhouse who once bore the title of [King of Assassination in the Northlands].

Instead, he looks like a condom merchant.

"Retirement is a drain on your will." Elliot thought so in his heart, but his eyes did not dare to show contempt.

On the surface, he has an enigmatic smile and a relaxed body, but in fact this is his unique talent - in this state, he can always keep the defense or attack switching, even if the old man who calls himself Robert suddenly attacks, he has enough time to react.

After the catastrophe of the plantation being held hostage by Sebaron, Eliot's thinking quietly shifted.

The conspiracy may be able to set off monstrous waves with the power of ants, but in the face of absolute power, it is just a joke.

Elliot knew exactly what he wanted.

He didn't covet momentary glory, and he had little interest in the power of the Shadow Realm.

All he wants is power.

Now that you enter the Shadow Realm, you will definitely be cultivated by the high-level as the best conspirator route, and if you get enough resources, your promotion will definitely be fast.

But that's not what he wants. He knew that the Ninth Manor also held another Legendary Wanderer's Advance Route—but that route had not been touched for hundreds of years.

He was quietly preparing for it, so it wasn't a good idea to enter the Shadow Realm for a short time.

But then again-

"Does this old man really understand what I'm thinking?"

"Why do I feel like he's talking nonsense......"

Elliot couldn't help but complain in his heart.

After a while, Robert finally stopped praising Elliot and said, "Whether you choose to enter the Shadow Realm now or not, you will always be a member of the Ninth Manor." ”

"If you choose to stay in the main material realm, we will give you a three-year period of freedom given your special qualifications and status."

"For these three years, you can enjoy all the benefits from the Ninth Estate without having to do anything......"

"No!" Elliot interrupted, "I want to do something. ”

"Although I work part-time as a conspirator, my essence has always been that of a bloodline ranger, and I am not averse to power...... I've heard that the Ninth Estate has a lot of commissions......"

Robert suddenly showed a look of understanding.

Young people are just impatient, do you want to do commissions to earn commissions when you just join? Robert couldn't help but smile and shake his head as he recalled what he had been like when he first joined Ninth Manor.

He shook his head as he handed Elliot a secret scroll:

"This is an option you can accept at the moment, so choose carefully."

"You don't have to give it back to me, if you want to take on any mission, you can print your ninth coat of arms underneath."

"No, I'll give you ......"

With that, he took an intricately carved coat of arms from his jacket pocket and threw it to Eliot.

It has Eliot's real name on it.

In this way, Elliot is a true freedom ranger of the Ninth Manor.

Elliot checked his ninth coat of arms with satisfaction, making sure there were no traps or curses on it, before he began to examine the mysterious scroll that was spread out.

The scroll requires the ninth coat of arms to open, and according to the level of the killers, different difficulty missions are opened.

As soon as Elliot started, he saw a highlight super task with the highest bounty and the longest hanging!

[Clue of the God of Conspiracy]!

Elliot's eyes lit up!

This task seems to be accessible to everyone; With a hint of the true clue of the God of Conspiracy, you'll be rewarded with one of the three secret rituals of the Ninth Manor Secret!

You must know that Elliot worked hard to complete the trial mission, which caused the Wildfire City incident, and it was just enough to join the Ninth Manor and obtain a basic ritual - [Enlightenment]!

And the three secret rituals in the legend made even the legends outside the organization very envious.

On more than one occasion in history, there have been unorganized legendary wanderers who have infiltrated the Ninth Estate in an attempt to steal the secret rituals of the Ninth Estate, but they have all failed in the end.

Four in all, three of whom died at the Ninth Manor; The remaining one was the most powerful, but he also left a left hand, and barely escaped.

It can be seen that the three secret rituals are tempting to wanderers!

"The god of conspiracy? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Elliot was confused.

Robert came to his senses with a disapproving look:

"Hell knows. I also tried to investigate this mission when I was younger, but there were no clues. ”

"The only thing I can tell you is not to waste too much time on this, this task is at least a thousand years old, and it is so old that the big names in the Shadow Realm can't handle it, do you think you can complete it?"

Elliot nodded thoughtfully.

However, he still asked a little stubbornly, "I'm just a little curious about the god of conspiracy, a god I've never heard of. ”

Robert touched his chin:

"It's normal for young people to be curious."

"As far as I know, the god of conspiracy should be the first angel, and he has a little kinship with the ancient god of the stone, and in the battle between Lannice and Purgatory, he chose neutrality and was alienated by Lannice."

"In the era of the fall of the ancient gods, behind the rise of the law god, there seems to be a shadow of his control...... But the suspicious thing is that he is also an ancient god himself. ”

"I don't know when the god of conspiracy suddenly disappeared, and only a very ancient lineage knows that such a god exists in this world."

"He may have been reincarnated, he may have fallen, or he may have traveled through parallel universes...... The hell knows what such a powerful ancient god is doing! You must know that he is also a faction of our wanderers, and his actions will definitely not leave any traces. ”

"If you really want to investigate the god of conspiracy, then you have to find someone first......"

Elliot's eyes lit up.

Robert joked, "The only relevant clue that can be found in the Ninth Manor at the moment is McCann, the treasure chest god of the Heavenly Divine Kingdom!" ”

"McCann once claimed that he had in his possession a bag left behind by the god of conspiracy before he left; It's a pity that he doesn't have a good memory, so he put the treasure bag in the treasure chest, and he threw those treasure chests to all corners of the multiverse, and those who are destined can naturally get that treasure bag......"

Elliot asked, "What happened later?" ”

Robert shrugged: "In thirty years, the price of McCann's treasure chest has been raised by seventeen thousand times!" It's more expensive than the real estate in the heart of the Floating City at the peak of the Arcane Empire......"

"As for the tips...... So far, there is no trace, and if I want to say, I'm afraid this is just another amazing marketing ploy by the god of treasure chests! It is worth mentioning that after the Trick Incident, the wealth of the wanderers of the entire multiverse shrank by an average of four-fifths......"

Where is this marketing, it is clearly cutting leeks!

Elliot was speechless.

It's just that when he recited the name of McCann, the god of treasure chests, there was always a feeling in his heart that he couldn't speak.

"Forget it, let's have fun!"

The devil sent the gods, and he took over the task with the ninth coat of arms.

Seeing this, Robert couldn't help but pout, but didn't say anything.

The number of tasks that the Ninth Empalsal can accept at the same time is limited, and members of Elliot's level can only accept three.

Immediately afterward, Elliot began to seriously flip through the tasks he was really capable of.

It's a pity that he can't be interested in most small tasks, and the difficult tasks are too risky.

He had just completed a big conspiracy, and he planned to find some side dishes to cool off first, and it was best to raise his bloodline ranger level first.

It didn't take long for him to finally lock on a task!

[Investigate the death of Viscount Flandy!] 】

[Mission Description: Not long ago, the appearance of Yutosang caused some chaos in the Shadow Realm, and Viscount Flandy, who was in charge of investigating the matter, died at the hands of the foreign invader Xiaocheng Song; Viscount Flandy's family has a great influence in the Shadow Realm, and will definitely not let go of the murderer easily, but unfortunately the murderer is extremely cunning and does not leave too many traces. We need help, and if we can provide the location of the murderer, we will be rewarded with unimaginable sumptuous rewards......]

[Quest clues/keywords]: Xiaocheng Song, Zijunqi, Ice Wind Leader......

"That's it!"

Elliot stretched, and finally moved his ass. Robert's eyes were sharp, and he could clearly see that at the vertebrae of his tail, a small granule was growing, and it was conceivable that it would be in the shape of a tail in the future.

"Soon, I'll have two more lives."

Elliot didn't hide his bloodline abilities in the slightest—he knew it was useless, the bloodline rangers' special abilities were no secret, and the former Northland Assassin King would be able to see it.

Robert smiled silently: "No, you have always had three lives. ”

Elliot's expression froze instantly.

Robert smiled and patted Elliot on the shoulder.

"It's okay, it's close. That small town Song has been in the limelight lately, and I heard that he has appeared in the Living Corpse Swamp recently, but if you want to trouble him, you have to go to the Ice Wind Leader. ”

Elliot put on his coat solemnly, bowed and took his leave:

"That's exactly what I mean."

"By the way, is there anything else I can do for you? Mr. Robert? ”

Elliot said casually.

Robert thought about it seriously: "I heard that there is a blue-tailed cat in the Ice Wind Collar, which has a docile temperament and is very suitable for domestication, as a lonely old man, I will be very happy if you can give me one." ”

Elliot nodded: "No problem." ”

"Goodbye then, Mr. Robert......"

Before he finished speaking, countless dark shadows suddenly rushed out of the corner of the room!

At that moment, Elliot's biovigilance was brought to the highest!

Thankfully, the shadows didn't seem aggressive, just stood there quietly, watching Elliot leave.

Elliot was stunned.

Robert smiled kindly: "My darlings are warm and shy, don't be afraid, they just want to send you." ”

Elliot looked at the more than twenty different breeds of cats in the room, and he was creepy.

Eventually, he silently left Robert's house.

Before leaving, he saw a black cat standing silently at the window, staring at him coldly and licking its paws.

He also sighed at the window.

"King of Assassins...... Sure enough, it lives up to its name. ”

"I've been lying in the house all afternoon, and I haven't noticed even one!"

"Are these guys really just cats?"

With these doubts, Elliot quickly walked into the snowstorm.

If he had just asked casually before, then this time, he decided.

"Be sure to catch a good bluetail cat for Mr. Robert."

In the snowstorm, Elliot's whispers were heard.

"Also, the name Xiaocheng Song is so strange and a little familiar?"
