Mosian City, one of the border cities of Lou Baole Kingdom, was once a famous mercenary city. But now, there is only the former false name left.

This is the place of this meeting, the former mercenary building in Mo Siye City, but now it has been converted into a hotel, providing food, drink and entertainment for the upper class. The director of the shelter arrived early at about 9 a.m., along with Kevin and with all the strong men under his command.

For Kevin, there's also a lot going on in the city. Kevin served here as a recruit. Later, a lot of things happened, at that time, the army was also responsible for clearing the backlog of mercenary tasks, a peeking gorilla mating mission, causing a storm in the city, and even going around the country of Leibozier at the end.

Looking back on it now, many years later, it can't help but feel like a world away. It's just that the streets are empty, sparsely populated, old and dusty. The mercenaries who came and went back and forth are now gone. The air is busy, except for parrot patrols, and even dragon eagles take off and land, but these are all garrisoned by the military. None of this can be counted as a spectacle of prosperity.

But in stark contrast, the original mercenary building, which is the hotel where the meeting took place, is even more opulent. It is surrounded by old buildings, with the occasional newly built magic tower on top of it. Only this hotel is extremely luxurious, and it seems to be a little more extensive than the original, with modular houses stacked on top of each other and roofs or domes or spires. The ground is spliced with various patterns, the flower beds are fragrant, and the carvings on various stone pillars are exquisite, showing a sense of luxury.

"How much does it cost to eat here?" Kevin asked casually, standing at the doorway and watching for a long time.

"We come to the conference and don't have to pay for it ourselves. The director whispered in response.

Kevin nodded, and turned to get down to business, "Is everyone else arranged?"

"It's all in order," replied the director, "and I'll keep the other strong men around except the three of us." ”

"Well," Kevin nodded, "the strong men are not strong in combat, and there are many of them. Start by asking them to wait outside the hotel for pick-up. ”

Suddenly, the parrot passed low in the air, and then its wings flipped twice and landed deep in the flower bed inside. Kevin and the others couldn't help but be silent for a while, and after seeing nothing unusual for a long time, they relaxed.

Kevin ordered in a low voice: "From now on, you are the subject." Anyway, I won't open my mouth unless there are special circumstances. I will stand by your side as your men. ”

"Okay," the director nodded in understanding, and then regained the director's majesty, beckoning to everyone, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

The group walked through the corridor and went straight to the front desk to explain their intentions. The front desk lady smiled and bowed: "You are really early, please come with me." ”

All the way to the luxurious restaurant on the top floor, the waiter bowed again: "You can sit down first, it's 9 o'clock, and there are still 3 hours before the official start." ”

"Oh, we know," replied the director casually, "by the way, who else arrived first but us?"

"Oh, not yet, you're the first batch," the waiter smiled professionally, "three hours, you can walk around the hotel, we have other entertainment in the hotel." ”

"Okay, we got it. Of course, the director didn't have the heart to entertain at this time, he just wanted to sit down and review his lines.

The waiter withdrew with a smile: "If you need anything, just say hello." ”

The director also smiled in response. At this time, Kevin took the opportunity to observe his surroundings, the table was long, hanging with a snow-white tablecloth, and the two rows of chairs stretched into the distance. Knives, forks, cups and saucers are flashing from time to time, and there is a magic crystal floating in the center of the table.

"I'll go around for a while," Kevin began, "you can turn around if you want, it's new to an unfamiliar environment, and it's necessary to familiarize yourself with the terrain." ”

Seeing that Kevin said cautiously, the director immediately called the two strong men behind him: "You two, follow Mr. Kevin." ”

Kevin refused: "The place is so big, let's go our separate ways." See you when you're an hour. ”

After that, Kevin had already walked out of the restaurant by himself, looking around, without any purpose, touching this and looking at that. The waiter couldn't help but smile and walked up: "This gentleman, is there anything you can help with?"

"Ah," Kevin was slightly embarrassed, but then laughed, "Look at this painting, it's so good!"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and looked over, but saw a pair of "Beautiful Angels" hanging on the wall. A white and flawless beauty angel, with the holy light flashing behind her, her hands spread out, as if she was sowing something.

"Oh yes?" the waiter smiled awkwardly and not politely. This kind of painting is not very precious in this era, and she doesn't understand how good the painting is.

"Is the owner of your hotel a believer?" asked Kevin.

The waiter hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No." ”

Kevin smiled: "The decoration of the hotel reflects the taste and character of your leaders to a certain extent. It feels good. ”

"It is said that some of the paintings were taken from our boss's house," the waiter replied with a smile, "of course I heard of it." ”

"Really?" Kevin couldn't help but ask, "And what did your boss do before?"

"I don't know. The waiter shook his head, looking at his expression as if he was lying.

Kevin didn't ask any more questions, smiled at the waiter, and left straight to the next place to investigate.

Yesterday, through Little Tiger, the plan was handed over to Sain and Little Spoon, and it stands to reason that they should have arrived at this time, but they don't know where they are hiding. The means of communication are missing, and it is too luxurious to run around, which is a bit troublesome.

Suddenly, Kevin caught a glimpse of a toilet sign out of the corner of his eye. After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to take it to the toilet by the way. Pushing the door in, I saw a cleaner in loose overalls, with his back to Kevin, making a mop.

Kevin subconsciously took a closer look, the overalls were too big to be seen, but this was long hair, not Sain.

Kevin reluctantly retreated, deciding to wait outside the door to finish cleaning. However, after thinking about it for a while, the more I thought about it, the more familiar I felt the action just now, this kind of skillful and powerful mop action, his strength exceeded that of ordinary cleaner aunts, and his proficiency exceeded that of other layman powerhouses......!

"Sain!" Kevin called tentatively as he rushed into the bathroom again.

The cleaner turned around, and sure enough, it was Sain, only this time he was in good disguise, with a wig and a mask, and at first glance he looked like an old aunt.

"It's really you. Kevin was a little surprised, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm old." ”

"Fack," Sain couldn't help but explode, "I managed to sneak in." ”

The side door opened, and the spoon and Fran came out of it, with a cleaner tied up inside, but with their coats removed.

"We received your message last night, and we rushed here overnight," Little Spoon said, "We finally sneaked here, we don't know what the situation is at the moment, so let's hide in the toilet first." ”

Fran asked, "Are you really going to fight today?"

"It depends," Kevin replied, "but necromancy is rare on the market, as long as you don't summon the skeleton zombies, they don't know anything else." ”

Fran nodded: "Okay, just have your words." ”

"But we can't hide in the toilet all the time, can we?" Sain frowned.

"Well," Kevin said to the two ladies, "you can pretend to be two waiters and figure out your own clothes." I've observed that some waiters just need to deliver food at the door. We are in the restaurant on the top floor. ”

"But we don't have the right faces," Little Spoon pinched his face, "and this kind of waiter can't wear a mask." ”

"Don't worry," Kevin waved his hand, "It's not a long-term lurk, even if someone sees your face, what if someone sees your face? When you see a stranger in your unit, you immediately think it's an assassin or a spy?"

Little Spoon was still a little worried: "But after all, we don't have a preliminary investigation here, and we don't have intelligence." I'm worried that the waitress will show flaws. ”

"Little spoon, be confident," Kevin encouraged him, "you can't have a pre-investigation for everything, and it's important to be improvised."

"Okay. The two finally agreed. Sain couldn't help but complain: "What about me?

Kevin was slightly embarrassed, in fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, Little Spoon and Fran were extremely strong in combat, while Sain was negligible in comparison. But after all, Kevin can't pull him down after all the hard work.

"Don't worry, I'll find a strong man to come over and let him clean the toilet for you. For the time being, you will take the place of a strong man and stand behind the director with me. ”

"No problem. Sain was happy and even more energetic at the mop.

Plan it well, and implement it right away. Just moments later, Kevin and Sain were already standing behind the director, while Spoon and Fran had changed into waiter clothes and stood on either side of the restaurant's doorway.

After a long time, I knew that it was close to eleven o'clock, and people came one after another. As each crowd entered, Little Spoon and Fran bowed slightly, signaling welcome, and they looked like they were. No one doubted the two of them either.

The real waiter came in to greet the customer, but when he came in, he saw the two of them motionless and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you two here? This is not a place for standing people." This is where the vases are placed...... By the way, what about the vase? Also, why are you two so face-to-face, and when did you recruit them?"

Two waiters: "......"

The director directly stood up and played a round: "What's the matter? Aren't these two very good here?"

The real waiter was very embarrassed: "There is a little problem in our hotel, we will solve it immediately." ”

"No," the director stopped, "you have a problem, let's solve it when we're done." The two of them stood here first. ”

The real waiter was very embarrassed, and at this time, a wave of unevenness arose. A man walked in scoldingly: "What kind of hotel are you? I want to complain about you!"

"Sir," the real waiter was a little flustered, "what happened?"

"I just went to the toilet and there was a strong man in it who was flushing a mop, he couldn't flush at all, and it all splashed on my pants. The man was dissatisfied, "I reasoned with him, and he actually told me to get out." ”

Kevin and Sain looked at each other: "......"

"Sir, we are cleaning the toilet by an aunt, it can't be a strong man. The real waiter was puzzled.

"Am I blind?" said the man, furious, "is it that your aunt has shaved her head and has such thick arms?"

The real waiter was at a loss: "That, that......"

The little spoon finally stepped forward: "Sir, you calm down first. With that, he stretched out his right hand, put it on the man's shoulder, and pressed him to the chair with all his strength.

The man's face finally changed drastically, and he was surprised that a waitress was amazingly powerful, far above him. The people on the side couldn't help but be surprised, a little unable to believe their eyes.

"Sir," said the little spoon one step closer, "our aunt has a shaved head and thick arms. Do you have any questions?"

The man was stunned by the momentum for a while, embarrassed for a moment, and just waved his hand: "I won't tell you first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Already satisfied with the result, Little Spoon smiled and retreated to the door, holding still.

The real waiter was already confused, standing stupidly in place and at a loss. The director hurriedly spoke: "Anyway, our dinner must be carried out normally, and your follow-up will be discussed after our dinner is over." ”

"Good. The real waitress nodded again and again, and then left quickly, presumably she also had to ask the leader.

After a small episode, reviewing the normalcy together, the other teams continued to arrive one after another, each taking their seats on either side of the long table. When one of the newcomers saw the director, he immediately jumped up: "It's you! You sent someone to beat me? You bastard!"

"Sir," said the spoon, who stepped forward at the right time, "please be civil." ”

"You get out of here...... the other party shook his hand and tried to push the spoon away, but his wrist was grabbed by the spoon.

This man wanted to pull his hand, but he couldn't, he wanted to lift it, but he couldn't. Holding his breath and trying to compete with the little spoon. As a result, the muscles on his head were bruised, and his face was red, but he still couldn't hold his own hands.

The little spoon was still calm, and slowly pressed his hand down, pressing it back little by little: "Sir, please dine civilly." ”

The other subordinates on the side hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "Boss, forget it." We'll talk about that later. ”

The man finally nodded: "I'll let you go today, and we'll talk about it later." ”

After more than an hour, the teams that came one after another sat down. Among them, there are also people who have been beaten by them, who came to the director to ask for an explanation.

But they were all shaken by the little spoon with brute force, and obediently returned to their seats. Privately, everyone is speculating about who this waitress is?

It was 12 o'clock in the blink of an eye, and the man with golden light finally arrived on time, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and bursts of magic elements fluctuated strongly but mechanically. Open the door, and bless yourself with a wind special effect, blowing everyone.

Everyone was disdainful in their hearts, but they couldn't say that, so they had to get up one after another and say hello to the sect leader.

The sect leader looked around at everyone: "Everyone has arrived, then sit down." ”

Only then did everyone sit down again, and then the real waiter pushed the carts one by one and began to serve the dishes one by one. Each person has a separate meal, and each person has a silver plate lid fastened, and I don't know what's inside.

At this time, Fran and Little Spoon stood awkwardly at the door, and the other waiters were busy serving, and the two of them were responsible for smiling. But fortunately, the sect leader didn't care and continued his speech: "It's very difficult to have such a gathering today. We're getting bigger and better. But as the scale grows, there are also some elements of discord among us. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people turned their eyes to the director. There are also some people who are at a loss.

The director himself was also nervous, and it seemed that someone had already reported to the sect leader. Does he already know what he wants to do? Then there really is no way back.

However, the sect leader changed his words: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about experiments." After all, this is an experimental analysis meeting. ”

Then, the sect leader began his boring nonsense, for more than half an hour, without nutrition. Kevin wanted to yawn, but held back.

“...... So, we must persevere, we must believe in miracles!" the sect leader finally finished, "Okay, everyone has come from afar, and after working hard, let's start eating first." ”

As he spoke, the sect leader opened the lid of the silver dinner plate, and the aroma came to his nose for a while. Inside the plate is a whole roast chicken, which looks like the skin is crispy and the meat is mouth-watering. The leader really wanted to enjoy it, and suddenly the chicken turned over on its own plate and pointed its ass at the leader.

The sect leader was stunned for a moment, froze in place for a moment, and subconsciously put the lid on the plate again. When he looked up at the others, he saw that they had already begun to eat, and no one paid attention to him.

The leader opened the lid of the plate again, but saw that the chicken was back to its original state, with its head facing him. The sect leader breathed a sigh of relief, put the lid of the plate aside, and prepared to officially start eating.

The fork went towards the chicken thigh, and suddenly the chicken leg actually forked outward, dodging the past. The fork hits the porcelain plate, making a screeching sound. The people on the side turned their heads to look at this scene, and when they saw this scene, they were disdainful: this sect leader can't even eat chickens.

And even if the sect leader was sluggish at this time, he felt that there was something wrong, and couldn't help but turn his head and look around. I just saw two waiters standing at the door: "Waiter, come here." ”

"Sir, may I ask you any questions?" said Fran this time.

"This chicken...... There is a problem. The sect leader didn't dare to say that the chickens could move, for fear of being ridiculed, "Give me a new plate." ”

"Okay, no problem. Fran smiled and took the master's chicken, walked out of the door, spun around in place, and brought it back, "Sir, the chicken you want to change." ”

The sect leader glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked around, but saw that everyone was looking at him, he could only smile: "Everyone eat first, and we'll talk after eating." ”

Kevin couldn't help but smile in his heart as he watched this scene. There was no doubt that this was Fran's necromancy spell, but it was too slight, and there were a bunch of light mages present, but no one noticed.

But if it's just used for pranks, it's a waste. Kevin decided to give it a try, and the other party was not a good person anyway, so let's use it for him to test some new tricks.

Intermediate Illusion: Augmented Reality.

With illusions that merge illusions with reality, it is more difficult to activate, but once activated, it is extremely easy to hit. It's just that to be truly proficient, it takes a lot of practice. But this kind of illusion practice must be sparred, unlike other spells that can be left empty, and if someone has too many illusions, it is very easy to become crazy. From a humanitarian point of view, it is clearly not appropriate.

At this moment, Kevin seriously manipulated his mental power and began to try to affect the other party's five senses. With the premise of synchronous illusions, it is not too difficult to try new illusions.

It takes more than 20 seconds to launch, which is obviously not suitable in battle, but it is not a battle at this time. Augmented reality, adding illusory fragments on the basis of existing reality, there are a lot of operations in between, but as a beginner, Kevin just repeats the scene he just saw.

The sect leader had successfully eaten the chicken leg at this time, and smashed his mouth to tear off the next leg. Suddenly, the chicken changed to its original appearance again, turned over, and faced him with its buttocks.

The sect leader was shocked and stood up directly: "Chicken, chicken ......"

The others looked at it in surprise, the others had not been affected by the illusion, so they naturally did not understand what the sect leader was doing. It's just that the disdain is even worse, and he thinks that the sect leader can't even eat chickens.
