Lin Xiao clicked on the light curtain to display a new email.

The sender is an unfamiliar account named "Anna, Archon of Winter".

Thousand Winter City is the capital of the Northlands Kingdom, a city that is very different from Star Atlas City. If you compare this place to a glorious nebula image, Winterfell symbolizes the cold frozen world.

Compared with the free federation with a more stable environment. The North-Zemlya Islands will not only have to endure the test of severe cold, but also face the threat of monsters from the deep sea at all times.

Therefore, the characteristics of card masters in the two countries are completely different:

Most of the card masters of the Federation believe in the silver dragon Kaos, which represents "nothingness" and "timely pleasure";

The card master of the Northland is fascinated by the cruel and tender blue dragon Indra, a symbol of the wrath and grace of "nature".

Lin Xiao browsed the email and learned that the Queen of Augustus of the Northland Kingdom had accepted a virtual showdown with him.

It is scheduled for Sunday, two days later, when the matchup will be revealed to the world.

After the duel, Augustus would ask about topics related to the [Sanctuary], and the other party hoped that Lin Xiao would not avoid it.

"A tone of victory...... Lin Xiao rubbed his chin.

He knew that the people of the Northlands had an almost religious fanaticism for 'Augustus the Great'. But this fanaticism is not about the cult of 'invincible', but more about the charisma of Augustus.

Take the officers of the Northland Fleet, for example, who know that their leaders sometimes encounter tricky monsters, and that they are also defeated.

For example, two years ago, there was a duel between Emperor Augustus and Jiang Shangtianshi of Zhongzhou, which ended in Augustus's defeat.

But she won it back the following year. Therefore, Augustus is not only the pinnacle of the strength of the Northland, but also a symbol of the spiritual symbol of 'indomitability'.

It is also interesting to mention this Jiang Shang Tianshi, he represents Taoism in Zhongzhou, and is regarded as the strongest person and 'sword immortal' in Zhongzhou. However, he rarely interfered in secular affairs, and was busy cultivating immortals and traveling around the landscape, so most of the affairs of Zhongzhou were managed by the [Zhongzhou Card Master Association] and the [Zhongzhou Investigation Group Headquarters].

Most of Middle-earth believe in the 'Lord of Spirit and Matter', the Candle Dragon.

Concepts such as "unity of knowledge and action" and "harmony of yin and yang" give Zhongzhou card masters a unique concept of balance.

Lin Xiao felt that he was about to be sent to other countries, and he should also have a general understanding of the concepts of each country.

Moreover, since the Federation has the 'Resurrection of the Seven Deadly Sins Demon Gods' and the 'Deep Sea Monster Rebellion' in the Northlands, I'm afraid that other realms are not much better......

"Showdown with Queen Augustus on Sunday and reveal the identity of the epee - there are only two days left."

Lin Xiao planned actions in her heart:

"In order to win 100 percent, you can hold Buddha's feet temporarily...... For example, kill another demon god or something. ”

Because the Demon God was weakened by the laws of the present world, the strongest Lucifer was able to reach the eighth-order realm.

I have already gained the power of four demon gods...... When encountering the remaining three demon gods, there is still a certain certainty.

Early in the morning, indoors, Lin Xiao stroked Daifuku's belly and fell into thought.

I still don't know the specific abilities of the two demon gods, 'Greed' and 'Jealousy'.

But you can know that the ability of the Lazy Demon God's 'Area Slowdown' is really useful.

If you can get the full version of "The Power of Laziness"-

Deploying a wide area of deceleration in the face of Augustus' spear is bound to have a greater advantage.

"However, the Lazy Demon God probably doesn't bother to make trouble."

Lin Xiao patted Dafu, who was lying on his back, and pondered:

"That's a good thing, at least not as much as Lucifer'......"

……

…

Starton City, the Leviathana Tower towers into the sky.

Doctor Birdbeak pushed open the door of the conference room, and the breath of different source forces greeted him, and several eyes looked at him.

The beak doctor under the gas mask calmly patrols: in the main seat sits Mr. Roman's personal friend, Mr. Kane, the chairman of the Levitanya.

The rest were seated by two men and one woman.

"Follow the rules...... He's supposed to be fined, right? ”

The cowboy man put his legs on the table, his left arm hung on the back of the chair, and in his right hand he tossed a silver head coin, and said with a smile:

"How about we split it evenly!"

The crowd ignored the cowboy's jokes. The middle-aged man in the sturdy bib pushed the frame and glanced contemptuously at the Doctor Bird's Beak;

The girl holding Barbie nodded to Dr. Birdbeak, her delicate doll-like cheeks showing an unsettling smile.

Kane crossed his fingers, watched the Birdbeak Doctor sit down, and said slowly:

"For health reasons, Mr. Roman will not be able to show up in the near future, so it will be up to me to pass on his executive order."

Although everyone has different temperaments, they all maintain respect for Roman and assume a posture of deference. After the diplomatic rhetoric, Kane gradually cut to the point, and his tone became cold:

"To sum up, from the perspective of national defense and security, it is necessary for us to eliminate unstable elements in our territory...... However, in order to avoid causing a mass panic among the masses, I would like to invite you to come and entrust you with this important task. ”

He pressed down the projection, and the avatars of 'Lin Xiao' and 'Heavy Swordman' appeared on the screen, and the personal information next to them was as clear as a wanted criminal.

Kane's eyes were dark green like a viper, and his glasses appropriately concealed this, and he said in a deep voice:

"This is the decapitation target of this mission."

Seeing the mission target, the pupils under the mask of the Doctor Bird's Beak constricted, sweating down his spine, and his straight body did not shake in the slightest.

"What kind of national defense mission, isn't it assassination!" The cowboy leaned back and played with the coin, laughing.

"Hey, that's what a heavy sword man looks like." The doll girl held her cheeks, revealing her face, "You look so handsome......"

"Mr. Roman doesn't focus on a little hairy child, let alone engage in boring assassinations."

The sturdy man codenamed 'Councillor' pushed his glasses and said coldly:

"You don't fabricate fake executive orders, Lord Kane."

"He's not a little hairy kid." Kane said, "He won the Star Cup, slain the monster of the sea, and teamed up with the doctor to fight off the Gluttonous God...... Letting him act in the Federation is like letting any monster out of the cage, the best way is not to anesthetize or release, let alone recruit An, but to ......"

With an easy-going smile and the whale chirping of an ancient creature in his ears, Kane moved his lips and said, "Kill." ”

Dr. Birdbeak's heart was turbulent, and he only felt unbelievable.

Killed? Recruit a card master above the sixth order to assassinate the heavy swordman? Are you kidding!

The one who can summon a meteorite at will, frustrate the existence of the Gluttonous God head-on, and assassinate him is like letting a child fight a Navy SEAL with an AK in hand!

He forcibly pressed down the idea of rebuttal, wanting to hear the opinions of others, and saw the cowboy say lazily:

"How did I hear that the operation of the ace sniper 'Viper' failed, and was even released back by the heavy sword man?"

"That's great!" The doll girl's eyes showed a sparkle of reverence, and she said excitedly: "Repay grievances with virtue, hero in the dark!" ”

The muscular MP frowned, looking at Kane with fear and suspicion.

"It is true." Kane said calmly, "But this defeat is more and more proof of the threat of the epee." If he reached the peak of the Seventh Order, it would be enough to shake Mr. Roman's position and plunge the kingdom into chaos. ”

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "I think that both me, Mr. Roman, and everyone here hate uncontrollable risks. Because maintaining stability is always more difficult and important than expansion. ”

Everyone had their own thoughts, and the room fell into a brief silence. Excluding all other things, Kane provided an extremely high reward for this operation, which was enough to make card masters above the sixth order excited.

"Can't you communicate with the epee?" Doctor Birdbeak broke the dead silence in the room, "Isn't it more joyful to try to get the epee to join Mr. Roman's command than to assassinate?" ”

The cowboy sneered, "It's too late!" The moment the viper was sent out, the beam had already been formed. Mr. Roman is not good at doing it himself, so he came to us mercenaries! ”

The Birdbeak Doctor was silent. He didn't dare to imagine that one day he would be forced to stand on the opposite side of Mr. Lin Xiao.

What's more, his philosophy was to save lives, not despicable assassinations......

"But it's ......" The doll girl put her hands on her cheeks, tilted her head and asked, "If the heavy sword man already has the peak of the seventh order, then aren't we going to send them to death?" ”

Kane calmly explains:

"Even at the peak of the seventh order, the source power of the card master is also closely related to the mind. With the fluctuation of mood, the state of the card master rises and falls, and sometimes there is even a lack of source power and the inability to control the trump card. ”

"Therefore, the first step you have to do is to interfere with the mind of the heavy sword man, so that he will be shaken by his own ideas and doubt the nature of his fire." Kane said.

Everyone's eyes flickered, and they all looked down at the fire in their palms, and heard Kane say faintly:

"When a card master becomes suspicious of the fire, his fall is not far away."

"Wonderful remarks!" The councillor applauded, and said in a deep voice, "So, how do you make him doubt himself?" ”

The councillor looked at the wanted avatar on the big screen and said in a deep voice:

"The higher the rank, the firmer the heart. And that's the hero who saves the city and refuses to bow his head and do whatever he wants......"

Kane was not afraid that Lin Xiao would occupy a high position after joining the Federation, he was afraid that he would not accept Zhao'an and do whatever he wanted.

And judging from the state shown by the epee, Zhao An doesn't think about it, so let's fire.

"Cut off their arms and cut off their hearts."

Kane swiped the screen, and the information of Margaret, Chu Yun, Sigrid, Jolena and others appeared on the projection, and said coldly:

"When a strong person can't even protect the people around him, then he will naturally be shaken."

The first step in the assassination plan was to attack the Epee man's close friends and cut his feathers. Subsequently, when the epee is shaken, he strikes at him again.

The cow looked carefully and exclaimed, "Damn! How can there even be the leader of the investigation team! ”

When there was no money in the Golden State, the cowboy used to work for the investigation team in the Golden State, where he heard about Margaret's deeds. It is said that she has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in the Demon God Incident, and her promotion has been on the rise, and there are not a few people who are jealous of her with red eyes.

"Just to tell you that Margaret may be protecting him."

Kane sighed, "She's the unified dispatcher of the nine federal state investigation teams...... Don't really make a move on her, just be careful. ”

"I see, it turns out that the epee was raised by her..."The cowboy was amazed.

Doctor Birdbeak secretly said that Margaret's promotion so quickly was actually due to Mr. Lin Xiao's excellent performance in the Demon God Incident. The latter is the real boss.

"Those eyes, so beautiful, like rubies......"

The doll girl looked at Jolena obsessively and said, "I really want to make her a Barbie doll." ”

The councillor looked at the screen with his thick arms in his arms, his eyes fierce, and said in a dull voice:

"I confirm again, is it really Mr. Roman's administrative directive? You should know the fate of forging orders, Kane. ”

Kane said in his heart... Mr. Roman is about to become the first person in history to master the power of a demon god.

And this achievement is what I helped him achieve. Even if the order is forged, it is for the sake of the big picture.

Kane was completely unaware of the strong jealousy in his heart and smiled and said, "Of course. ”

"Hmph, when will you act?"

"Tomorrow night, Star Map City."

The meeting lasted for nearly an hour before the curtain came to an end.

Dr. Birdbeak left the conference room uneasy, remembering the scene in the Black Pool, and secretly made up his mind.

I'm sorry, Mr. Roman.

I have to ask Mr. Lin Xiao... Ventilation news!

……

…

A hazy blue mist drifts through the cave, and water lilies stretch their petals in pools.

In the center of the lotus lies a hand-sized Belfinger, lazily stretching her waist, squinting and yawning:

"Ho...... Why are you here again, Mammon? ”

Mammon stood on the shore and asked coldly, "How long have you been sleeping?" ”

Belfinger transformed, and the royal sister's posture landed on the throne, folding her slender legs, and the black silk stretched out a sweet texture on the thighs.

"Hmm...... I've been sleeping since you left. Ho...... I can't remember. Belfinger said lazily.

"Do you know that that human has contracted the four demon gods of arrogance, rage, gluttony, and lust?" Mammon slowly reported.

"Yikes!" Belfinger was shocked, he had already made so many contracts, and his tone was a little faster, "Asmantis, are they doing well?" ”

Mammon hesitated, "By human standards...... There are no worries and no pains in the winery...... Indeed, it is considered to be a good life. ”

Belfinger: (???)?

Mammon: "What's that look on your face?" ”

"I also want to be free from worries and pain." Belfinger rightly said, "Since you all live in the human world, I am not the only one." ”

Life in a cave can sleep all the time, but it really lacks some tricks.

Belfinger wants fancy laziness: clothes to reach out and open their mouths are only secondary.

Comfortable pleasures such as food, games, and air conditioning are her goals, and they are also the source of her 'lazy power'.

"Then you can go directly to Lin Xiao and see if he gives you a chance to contract." Mammon said coldly.

"Ah...... It's too much trouble to get out......"

Like a cat rubbing its face with its paws, Belfinger sobered for a moment and asked lazily:

"What the hell are you doing looking for me?"

Mammon adjusted her mood, sighed softly, and said calmly:

"I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Belfinger was slightly surprised... Transactions between demons require an equivalent exchange.

The stingy greedy demon god was willing to let her help, which was a rare occurrence for a thousand years.

"What's busy." Belfinger couldn't hide his curiosity.

"Go to the eastern city of the human race, Xingtu City." Mammon said.

"Ah...... So far, what are you doing there? Belfinger blinked.

If you want Belfinger to go out on her own, there is only one way to ask her, otherwise she may sleep until the end of the world.

Let her go to Xingtu City and let Lin Xiao take this opportunity to make a contract with her, this is just one of them.

And Mammon's selfishness......

The petite red-haired woman wears a white shirt and black suit pants, a straight tie, and her golden eyes seem to glisten with treasures of gold, revealing something truly precious.

"Take care of my subordinates." Margaret said.

There are many signs that Roman and his forces will take action against Lin Xiao and others under his command.

Margaret didn't want to have premature contact with Lin Xiao, so she handed over the work of taking care of Chu Yun and the others to another demon god.

It's ridiculous to say that I really care about humans like puppets.

Margaret's eyes lit up with golden flames, and the corners of her mouth curled.

Perhaps, it was because I picked Lin Xiao and them, promised them, and boarded my [Ark].
