Chapter 50: Partners
In recent months, Lin Xiao has had a very happy time.
Aside from meeting Felix twice from the Central Kingdoms, he has been working in Blackebon to increase his level as a monster hunter.
"Look! That man is the 'Tooth of Darkness', Midnight! ”
"Also, the one next to him is the 'Mouth of Evil Desire', Butcher!"
Lin Xiao, who had become an S-level monster hunter, originally wanted to keep a low profile, but his prestige had already spread throughout Black Blade Town.
In less than four months, the mysterious black-clad assassin had risen from C-rank monster hunter to S-class.
Undoubtedly, Lin Xiao has become another character in a legendary story.
"Wait, don't run! You are not allowed to give people random titles! ”
The goddess Sifna, the "mouth of evil desire", is waving a wooden stick in her hand, chasing the crowd of onlookers.
Every time she came to the adventure hall, the "heroic deeds" of emptying the food stalls were even more eye-catching than Lin Xiao's rapidly increasing level of monster hunters.
"Looks like it's time to leave."
Lin Xiao delivered the demon hunting task he had accepted before, and sighed softly.
Happy times are always short-lived.
During the time that he and Siffner became monster hunters, a mysterious force had quietly arisen among the human nations.
Assasin Theocracy.
For some reason, this ancient cult of killers has reappeared on the continent of Alpha.
Assassinations, kidnappings.
The members are unknown, the motives are unknown, and the purpose is unknown.
Disciplined, decisive in killing, and treacherous.
The Assasin Cult has undoubtedly unleashed a wind of terror on the continent of Alpha.
However, in the face of the sudden rise of such an evil cult, the Holy See did not take any action to suppress or eradicate it.
This is very confusing to the rulers of the human nations.
Why did the Holy See condone the Assasin cult?
Could it be that they have reached some kind of secret agreement behind their backs?
Or is the Assasin Cult an offshoot of the Cult of the Holy Fire that it promised?
No one can answer these questions.
Of course, it also includes Lin Xiao, the god of killing who the Assasin sect believes.
At this moment, he is translating the letters that Helena gave him through secret channels using his original encrypted code.
"Dear Master, I have already established a 'safe house' in the Demon Wizard Country."
Reading the letter written by the princess, Lin Xiao couldn't help but nod frequently.
"Sure enough, it's more comfortable to read the letter written in encrypted code."
Helena is worthy of being Lin Xiao's eldest disciple, and it seems that she has won his true inheritance.
There is a possibility that people will be monitored when using magic to send a message, and if you write a letter with this encrypted code that only two people know, you will never be deciphered by others.
"In addition, I also used the Assasin Sect established by Felix to cultivate a lot of peripheral forces in the Demon King's capital."
"All walks of life in the Demon Nation have infiltrated our people, so we can gather more information."
"Also, I'm planning to support the four princes of the Demon Guiding Country, and take advantage of the feud between him and the crown prince to plant our pawns within the royal family."
While reading the letter written by the princess, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth.
"She's doing a pretty good job."
Before crossing over, Lin Xiao had cultivated many subordinates, but he had never accepted disciples.
Helena's excellence undoubtedly made the ruthless killer very satisfied.
"At the end, I also got to know a very special and powerful partner, she will definitely help us in our plan to control the 'Heavenly Dao', and I am looking forward to introducing this partner of mine to Master Shifu."
"Huh? Helena has met a particularly powerful partner? ”
Reading this, Lin Xiao couldn't help frowning.
The word "partner" almost does not exist in Lin Xiao's dictionary.
In the past, he easily delivered trust, which caused irreparable consequences.
That unbearable experience also created Lin Xiao's suspicious and cautious personality now.
Because of this, he never wanted the experience of being betrayed to happen to his apprentice again.
"Alas, let's talk about it later, this kind of thing can only be experienced by herself."
Of course, Lin Xiao couldn't help Helena handle everything.
People always have to have personal experience to grow.
"Wait...... What did she mean by 'plan to control the Heavenly Dao'? ”
Lin Xiao frowned and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't understand how to understand the words written by his apprentice in the letter.
Finally, he gave up thinking.
"That's it, as long as it doesn't hinder me from obtaining the 'Book of the World', all other issues can be put on hold for the time being."
Lin Xiao dipped his pen in special ink and wrote three words on the reply:
"Got it."
Since he was leaving, Lin Xiao also planned to deal with the last problem in Heifeng Town.
How is Adam placed?
This incident has always bothered him deeply.
Since signing the contract with him, the young gear synthesizer has never left the Ring of Anubis.
In order to prevent Adam from staying in the Ring of Anubis for too long, Lin Xiao deliberately adjusted the time flow rate in the ring to the same level as the Alpha World.
If it weren't for that, wouldn't it be a big problem that Adam would have been dozens or even hundreds of years old by the time he returned to the world of Alpha?
"But why didn't he have any intention of coming out?"
Lin Xiao didn't know what to tell Adam.
He also admits that Adam is very passionate about his work.
In just a few months, he had greatly improved the crafting process of demonic equipment.
Not only can the attributes of the equipment barely reach the level of Lin Xiao's "equipment made casually", but the magic infused can also reach the fifteenth rank at the highest.
For Lin Xiao, this has far exceeded expectations.
"No, I still have to persuade him that the combination of work and rest can improve work efficiency."
Even Lin Xiao, who had formulated a training plan for thirty hours a day, felt that Adam should rest.
One can imagine what kind of mental state this equipment synthesizer is working in.
"Don't pester me, I've got something to do."
Lin Xiao, who returned to the Ring of Anubis, ignored Alice's coquettish hug and walked straight to the studio he had built for Adam.
“……”
Adam engrossed in throwing a "World Tree Seed" into a bubbling bottle of unidentified green liquid.
"Prop Fusion!"
With the white light in his hand, the unknown liquid instantly merged into the "World Tree Seed", and in the blink of an eye, a dark green ring was formed.
"Whew, you still can't infuse magic above the fifteenth rank, why is that?"
The crazy Adam didn't notice that Lin Xiao was behind him at all.
"You, go out and rest for a while."
Lin Xiao snatched the ring from Adam's hand and said with a frown.
"What? Out, where to go? ”
At this time, Adam had already reached level 99.
Having synthesized tens of thousands of pieces of equipment, he had even condensed the seed of Godhead.
For non-combat classes, you can level up by practicing your professional skills repeatedly.
The equipment materials provided by Lin Xiao to Adam were all taken from the ultra-high-grade and ultra-rare materials in the Death Realm.
Adam used such a treasure to synthesize equipment, and naturally it was difficult to upgrade it.
"No, you work 24 hours a day, even if you're wearing equipment that immunizes fatigue, it's not good for your mental state."
Lin Xiao's words made Adam a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do people who have lost their souls also have the saying that 'their mental state is not good'?" ”
Listening to Adam's words, Lin Xiao's heart was cold, and he sighed lightly: "What lost your soul? You're already mentally out of tune. ”
Hearing Lin Xiao say this, Adam was also stunned, and was stunned for a long time before asking, "You demon is unprofessional, have you forgotten about taking my soul?" ”
Lin Xiaodao: "Demon? What demon? Why did I take your soul again? ”
The two talked for a long time before finally resolving the misunderstanding.
Lin Xiao was very hurt.
Didn't you just ask to take all the equipment that Adam had synthesized?
Why is it regarded as a demon by others?
Adam was also hurt.
No wonder I feel tired all the time, it turns out to be a normal physiological reaction......
"By the way, what are you going to do in the future? Do you want to go out first? ”
Lin Xiao rubbed Alice's hair and looked at Adam beside him.
"No, it's too dangerous and complicated out there for me."
I don't know if there is some kind of magic in the Ring of Anubis, Adam also had the same idea as Lin Xiao back then.
"Your 'safe house' is nice, can you keep me living in it?"
Looking at the purple sky overhead, Adam smiled.
"Maybe I can be your best partner."
Adam's words made Lin Xiao stunned.
Partner, is it also considered a "partner"?
He couldn't tell.
