Chapter Eighty-Three: Complementing Each Other
Han Shuo never thought that this woman would do it when she said it, and she didn't allow him to say a word at all. Before the broadsword arrived, the scorching heat had already made his skin feel a little uncomfortable.
With a cold snort, the Demon Killing Blade suddenly appeared in Han Shuo's left hand, and was infused with Demon Yuan Power by Han Shuo, urging it in the way of "Xuan Ice Demon Flame Decision", only to see that the dark red Demon Killing Blade suddenly burst into a lilac cold, and the temperature in the room suddenly changed, and it was scorching cold on Candace's side, and it was cold for Han Shuo here.
Before the two of them met with swords in their hands, the two breaths, one hot and one cold, had already met first, and white smoke rippled out. However, to Phoebe's surprise, Han Shuo's purple cold aura was unlike any ice magic he had ever seen, but instead it was like a living thing, bending forward.
It wasn't until Han Shuo and Candace collided with each other that a violent force with a fighting spirit slammed into Han Shuo's Demon Slaying Blade like a hammer, Han Shuo's body staggered back a few steps, but after the Fighting Qi poured into the Demon Slaying Blade, it was difficult to move an inch, and he couldn't break through the obstacle of the Demon Slaying Blade at all and hurt Han Shuo.
Instead, it was Candace, who suddenly exclaimed loudly, after the white smoke dissipated, Han Shuo looked at Candace again and found that the broadsword she was holding in her hand had already appeared a gap, and it looked like it should have been cut by the Demon Slayer Blade.
Candace should have the strength of a high-level swordsman, because she has fire magic, and her strength is even more unfathomable. The broadsword in her hand should be a magic sword of excellent quality, which has an amplifying effect on the fusion of fire magic, but she didn't expect that such a good sword would be left with traces of mutilation by Han Shuo in an instant.
Just when Candace looked at the broadsword in her hand with a shocked expression, as if she was planning to continue attacking Han Shuo. Phoebe, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke: "Okay Candace, Brian's best thing is not brute force, I said that his magic comes from his extraordinary sensibility. ”
"He, he ruined my magic sword!" Candace glared at Han Shuo before complaining to Phoebe.
"You deserve it, you brought it all on yourself. If you don't change your reckless temper, because there are many times when you suffer!" Phoebe glanced at Candace helplessly, and said with good intentions, her beautiful eyes swept over Han Shuo, focusing on the Demon Slaying Blade in Han Shuo's hand, Phoebe showed an extremely interested expression, and exclaimed, "Is this the weapon you want to build, can you show me?"
"It's nothing to look at, it's just a little sharper than ordinary weapons!" Han Shuo quietly put away the Demon Slayer Blade before he said to Phoebe with a smile.
"Hmph, stingy!" Phoebe snorted lightly, then pointed at Candace and introduced to Han Shuo: "This is Candace, the deputy head of the War Fire Mercenary Regiment, a friend I knew before, her temper is a little reckless, but she is actually a very good person, don't you mind!"
Nodding, Han Shuo glanced at Candace and said with a smile, "I don't mind, I hope she doesn't hate me, hehe!"
"Isn't it just a magic sword, not to mention that it's not all damaged, so I won't be so stingy. Phoebe, talk about your personal affairs, I'll go outside and guard the door for you, hoping that damn Grover will get to know you. Candace glared at Han Shuo with disdain, then looked at the broadsword in her hand with a distressed expression, and strode outside.
Seeing Candace walk out of the room, Han Shuo felt that although this woman had a reckless temper, she was not a stingy and jealous person, otherwise she would not have left so easily.
"I'm here this time to buy some food from you, and I want you to help me find a hidden place to live, not too big, as long as I promise not to be discovered. Looking at Phoebe, Han Shuo didn't hide it, and said directly to the door.
"No problem, how much food do you need?" Phoebe was also happy, and without delaying at all, she agreed first, and then asked for the amount of food.
"About a hundred people, enough to sustain a winter's worth of food. Han Shuo replied.
As soon as these words came out, Phoebe looked at Han Shuo with a strange expression, and when Han Shuo was uncomfortable, Phoebe said suspiciously: "What do you want to do, more than a hundred people for a winter's food, are you planning to stay away from the empire?"
Shaking her head with a wry smile, Han Shuo knew that she would be suspicious, and said, "Don't think about it, I'm helping my friend solve some problems, and if I don't get rid of that Grover, I won't leave the empire for a short time." ”
"There is no problem with the food, but you have to give me a few days to prepare it. There is also a hidden abode, and I advise you not to live alone outside for the time being, because Grover and the people of the 'Afterimage' have always regarded you as a thorn in their side, and if I find a place to live for you through my hands, I may find some clues for Grover.
Well, if you don't dislike it, you can stay with me for a while, so that we can take care of each other. After Grover's threat is eliminated, this house can be left to you, and we can return to the Buster Firm, what do you think?" Phoebe thought for a moment and said as she looked at Han Shuo.
Hearing Phoebe say this, Han Shuo thought about it carefully and thought that what she said did make some sense. However, Han Shuo was a little afraid to ask for this residence, after all, even if the threat of Grover was removed, the "Remnant", as a huge killer organization, would always be a threat when he knew where he was hiding.
"I know what you're worried about, you can rest assured, as long as Grover is removed, I have a way to make the 'Afterimage' no longer trouble us. Recently, I have officially taken charge of the firm, and I am collecting evidence of Grover's crimes, and Grandpa Andrew is also fully supporting me, and even the traces of Grover's mistress have been found by Uncle Andrew, and now he has sent someone to seize things, I think now Grover is probably even more afraid than us. Seeing Han Shuo's frowning, Phoebe couldn't help but say with relief.
Nodding, Han Shuo opened his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll stay here for the time being, and I'll leave after I get rid of Grover!"
"That's great, with you here, those damn assassins don't even want to sneak up on us!" Phoebe said happily when she saw Han Shuo agree.
Then Phoebe asked Fu Bin to arrange a room for Han Shuo, Han Shuo's room was also very spacious, with a lot of normal living facilities inside, and Phoebe was only separated by a wall.
At night, Han Shuo sat cross-legged on the bed in the room alone and began to hold his breath and concentrate, continuing to cultivate his demonic skills as always.
Now Han Shuo's magic realm has reached the "soul shaping" stage, this stage is mainly a process of developing the potential of the brain, as long as he can survive this stage, Han Shuo's whole person will get a big improvement in both memory and understanding and observation of things, and his brain will be much smarter than ordinary characters.
However, it is precisely because this stage is a kind of development of the brain's potential, so it is particularly thrilling, and if you are not careful, you may fall into a stage where your mind is completely unconscious, acting completely on instinct, and even if you recover in severe cases, you may also have symptoms of amnesia or split personality.
Han Shuo, who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, saw that his head was shrouded in a dark black light and shadow, as if a cloud of black lightning had wrapped Han Shuo's head, constantly releasing amazing thunder and lightning inside.
Continuing in this state, I don't know how long it took, Han Shuo exhaled lightly, and he also took the gong with some trepidation. After knowing the horror of the "Soul Molding" stage, Han Shuo himself was also cautious, and every time he cultivated, he chose to be very quiet, not daring to let any external objects disturb him.
After the magic skill was finished, Han Shuo saw that his spirit was still good, and he couldn't help but meditate carefully again, wanting to continue meditating to increase his spiritual power. Suddenly, there was a shock in his mind, and the spiritual power was gathering many times faster than in the past with Han Shuo's mind.
The aura of the necromantic aura that was ubiquitous between heaven and earth, Han Shuo could feel it very clearly this time, through the effect of spiritual power, Han Shuo was even able to gather the aura of the necromancer little by little, and he could also feel the way these necromantic aura gathered, which was completely unattainable when he usually released magic.
This meditation seemed to make Han Shuo suddenly enter a wonderful realm, and Han Shuo clearly sensed the growth of his spiritual power, much faster than usual. Although there is not much benefit from using the "Dark Pupil" cultivation, the spiritual power obtained from this meditation is very clear and natural, and there is no pain at all.
After Han Shuo woke up from meditation, he suddenly remembered that the first two levels of demonic cultivation were both focused on the exercise of ** and meridian bones, but this heavy "soul shaping" was completely for exercising the potential of the brain. The magician's meditation is all about relying on the brain to gather mental energy, and never exercises other parts of the body.
From this point of view, if Han Shuo's brain potential was greatly improved, then the speed at which his brain meditated and gathered spiritual power would naturally also be improved, which would definitely have immeasurable benefits for Han Shuo's future magic cultivation.
"Sure enough, the cultivation of these two different worlds, but the same evil exercises, can indeed complement each other, it seems that even if I don't have the 'Dark Pupil' in the future, the spiritual power I gain from meditation will be much faster than that of a normal magician. Han Shuo was overjoyed and muttered to himself.
"Phoebe, do you like this stinky boy?" At this moment, a slight conversation came from next door.
The soundproofing of this house is not bad, and other people will definitely not be able to hear the conversation in another room separated by one wall. However, Han Shuo was naturally not a normal person, and his perverted ears were sensitive, and in the dead of night, he could hear the whispers of the two women clearly.
"Candace, what nonsense are you talking about, Brian has helped me a few times, we're just friends who fight side by side. Phoebe said in a very low voice.
"No, if it's just a friend who fights side by side, why would you keep defending him and give him such a high rating. I always felt that you were a little special to him, did anything happen between the two of you, and in my intuition as an experienced mercenary, you are definitely different from everyone else!" Candace said with a thick distrust in her voice, which seemed to be very professional.
"Oh, by the way, what do you think of Brian?"
"What do you mean?"
"In every way?"
"Two words - weird! Whether it is his skills, or the strange sword in his hand, including his identity and origin, it seems very strange, I think there must be a secret hidden behind him, you better watch out for him!"
"I'm not asking you this, I've known these things for a long time, why do I need you to remind me, I just want to ask you how the others are?" Phoebe said in a strange voice.
"Hmph, you also said that he is just an ordinary friend, I don't think you care so much about your friends. This person doesn't look bad, but he can't be called handsome, and I haven't been in contact with anything else, but according to what you said, it doesn't seem to be very good, and snobbery, lust, and greed for money don't seem to have any advantages!"
Han Shuo heard their conversation clearly, and was secretly scolding Candace in his heart, when the three Yuan Demons, who had been released in the distance, suddenly sensed the approach of the assassin.
The number of assassins in this wave is ten, one of the leaders is dressed in black, his body is suspended in the void, it seems that it should be a magister, through the vision of the Yuan Demon Han Shuo saw that Grover also appeared in the distance, Grover looked nervous and cautious, and several masters of Ellis who had been following him were all dispatched this time, it seemed that Grover was desperate, intending to make Phoebe in this wave of catastrophe.
Following Han Shuo's intentions, the three Yuan Demons slowly changed their directions, carefully avoiding the coverage of that Demon Master's spiritual power, and carefully probing the strength and number of people who came. At this time, it was the early hours of the night, in the heavily defended north of the city, the guards would have an alternation at this time, which would take a few minutes, and at this time the defense of the entire north of the city was the most relaxed, and it seemed that the people who came had already explored the situation here.
Han Shuo measured the strength of this side, and for the first time in his heart, a feeling of being fierce and auspicious arose, at this time, he could no longer continue to listen to the conversation between Phoebe and Candace, and walked out of the room as fast as he could, kicked open Phoebe's door, and broke directly into the inner room regardless of the taboo.
