At the last moment, the Black Pearl shook violently. The cabin swayed violently, causing Raphael and Jack to roll to the ground screaming. The two sand snakes grasped their balance in an instant, showing an astonishing level of skill. They were still capable of delivering the fatal blow to Curt when the door to the cabin shattered.

Someone stood in the doorway, reaching out and tapping. The emerald green light immediately burst in, striking the sand snake closest to Curt. The sand snake screamed in pain, and its body disintegrated into green crystalline gravel in seconds. The comer tapped a second time, causing the other sand snake to do the same.

This is a level six spell, Dissociation. Curt had no difficulty distinguishing it, and sensed that the anti-magic force field had dissipated. He activates the Purple Grudge and the Holy Night to protect himself. The mage standing in the doorway continued to cast spells, using dissociation to turn everyone except Curt and Raphael into crystalline grit.

Curt relaxed as Raphael got on all fours, pouting his ass and crawling into the corner to shake. The mage who had saved his life walked slowly into the cabin, his flat face without facial features, none other than Van Rendel, the faceless chief. Van Rendel walked to the center of the cabin and cast a human-detecting spell. He made sure there were no more enemies hiding nearby, and then he turned around and roared at Curt:

"It's really ugly, what kind of medicine did you take wrong?!Lord Eorham wants you to take Princess Fran back to Thousand Laws City, why do you suddenly want to go back alone?"

"Something has happened to the Black Tower, and I have to rush back to deal with it as soon as possible. Randall can take care of Princess Fran, and my subordinates can be relied upon. ”

Curt lied, he didn't care if Van Rendel would see through it. In the matter of rescuing Aotran, the land of swords. Curt's watch can only be described as perfect. Even if he's having a little trouble now. It will not affect the evaluation of the Council of a Thousand Laws.

Van Lundel stood silently. Stared at Curt through the mask for a moment. Finally, he nodded, and raised his hand to Raphael. Raphaelton peed his pants, and Van Lundel said leisurely:

"Your vision isn't good enough, Curt. This guy is a member of the Dragon-Worshipping Cult, and if you hire him, you're jumping into the fire pit yourself. If it weren't for Lord Eorham asking me to protect you, you'd be dead. The Dragon Worship Sect has close ties with the Dragon Clan, and they offer bounties to all the high-ranking mages of the Thousand Law Cities. ”

"It sounds like you know a lot, I'd like to hear it...... Ugh!"

Curt gritted his teeth. Pull out the dagger stuck in the gap between your arm. Then he removed part of his armor and continued without respect as he bandaged his wounds:

"Since Lord Eoham sent you to follow me, you should have a way to teleport me back to Thousand Laws City, right? I'm fed up with the ghost weather in the Big 6 in the middle of the country, and I just want to drink a glass of hot milk from the Greenberry Tavern right away. ”

“...... You don't seem to know how to respect two words. ”

Van Rendel changed to a deep tone and raised his face behind the mask. He considered using a spell to punish Curt who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but Curt said first:

"Come on, Kate Lankate, stop acting. ”

The words stiffened Van Lundel for half a second, and then he turned his head to the side in confusion. Curt calmly bowed his head. Use your teeth and right hand to tie the knot in the gauze that binds the wound. Then he tried to move his left hand, endured the pain, and said:

"Do you still want to pretend. I knew it was going to be, and if you didn't strip you of your disguise, you wouldn't admit it. ”

"You're crazy, Curt. ”

Van Lundel shook his head, as if he thought it was funny. He wanted to say something, but Curt interjected first:

"That's enough, I'll explain it from the beginning. Actually, when I first met you, I tried to track you. That time you entered a cloth shop and dispelled the spell I used to track you before you entered. That shop is in your name, and I think it's a coincidence. But in retrospect, you didn't have to see me at all. It's because of Randall's relationship, you're worried that I'm getting too close to her, so you deliberately ran to spoil the atmosphere. ”

At this, Curt gave a mocking smile. He sat down on the ground relaxedly, and then said flatly:

"Then I got closer and closer to Randall, and you were anxious. You suspect that I have intentions against Randall, so you deliberately promoted Randall to your deputy. This is a failure, with your status, how can you do things so casually, not to mention that when you appeared as Lan Kate, you deliberately approached me. As a result, Van Lundel had just disappeared from the cloth shop when Blue Kate ran out. I'll have to thank Miss Sharman from the Broken Boots Merchant Group, or you'll probably not find a reason to talk to me. ”

"Boring guess. ”

Van Lundel flicked his sleeves, looking dismissive. So Curt chuckled, and suddenly changed to a stern voice:

"Lan Kate, how long are you going to play?! I have an urgent matter to go back to the Thousand Laws City, and I don't have time to play with you! You know the character of Lord Eoham best, don't I know?! A high-level mage who is as powerful as you and has one side of power can live peacefully in the Thousand Laws City without the control of the Thousand Laws Council? This is really a big joke! If you were not the Faceless One, Lord Eoham would not let you live for a day! You're just a virtual image created by Lord Ioham, which makes people feel that Thousand Laws City also has a tolerant side!"

At this point, Curt paused. He looked at Van Lundel, who lowered his hand, and said disdainfully:

"Don't you admit it, then I'll add some more chips. When I return to the Thousand Laws City, I will begin to investigate your actions during this time. I don't believe that Mr. Lankite will be very active, and even if you have a puppet to replace you, you will definitely try to keep a low profile. ”

“...... You're a tough guy, Curt. Luckily, you're not my enemy, and we almost got on the same page in the first place. ”

Van Lundel finally let out a sigh of resignation and raised his hand in surrender. He removes his mask, revealing the face that belongs to Blue Kate. Lan Kate shrugged helplessly, no longer putting on the high posture of being a faceless manager. He raised his hand to shoot a spell that knocked Raphael, who had crept to the doorway, to the ground. Then Lan Kate pointed at Curt and said very unhappily:

"No matter what, I'm your superior. What's the point of you skinning me? Are you trying to kill me and replace me?"

"That's what I thought. ”

Curt nodded earnestly and gave a straightforward answer. Lan Kate could only smile bitterly and listened to Curt say:

"Among the Faceless One, you are at the top of the pyramid. There's no way you're going to allow me to be on a par with you, unless your head gets water. But after confirming your identity, I don't think it's a big deal to be the faceless manager. Your real power lies elsewhere, and you are simply a prince in the Thousand Laws City. ”

"That's what Lord Ioham wants, and I can find out what many ordinary mages can't get. ”

Kate shook her feet meaninglessly, with a tired expression on her face. Later, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue potion. Under Curt's gaze, Lankate threw the potion out. Curt raised his hand to catch it, and listened to Lan Kate say very unhappily:

"It's a healing potion, drink it and heal your damn wound. Then again, you don't want to be a faceless manager, so what are you going to do? How about giving me some preferential treatment when the commercial law is revised in the future?"

"That's natural. ”

Curt opened the cap and drank the potion in one go. He showed full trust, which made Lankate feel very pleased. But Curt didn't intend to give Blue Kate a good mood, and he had his own motives in revealing the identity of the Faceless Administrator. When Lankite nagged about personal interests, Curt said directly:

"Looks like you still don't want to peel your skin off in front of me, Kate Lan. You've got to remind you that now isn't the time to pay attention to trivialities, is it? Actually, you're tempted to beat me, aren't you? I kissed Randall last night, you must know that. So just now, before breaking down the door, I'm sure you hesitated for a while. Otherwise, Jack wouldn't even have a chance to stab me. ”

"It's good that you know. ”

Lankite stepped forward and unceremoniously smashed his fist into Curt's face. Curt staggered backwards and didn't fight back. He allowed Lankate to beat himself three or four more times, and it was not until Lankate shook his wrist and walked away that Curt raised his head and said meaningfully:

"Then you should know about Randall's imminent marriage. What are you thinking, Mr. Lankate, may you sue me? For more than thirty years, the only woman who has attracted your heart, at the behest of Lord Eoham, is about to become the Crown Princess of Otland. How do you feel? Or are you going to resign yourself to your fate?"

A flush of rage rose and instantly covered Blue Kate's face. In order to resist the urge to beat Curt, Lankate gritted his teeth desperately. Curt smiled wordlessly, listening to the grinding sound between his teeth. He looked at Lan Kate's bruised fists, and then said seriously:

"Send me back to Thousand Laws City immediately, and I'll help you mess with Huang Randall's marriage. I'll count to three, and if you don't do it, I'll find a way to go back myself. One, two, ......"

"You won. ”

Lankate growls uncontrollably, and Curt proposes a deal that he can't refuse. Eoham is the supreme being, and Blue Kate cannot disobey him. But in Lankate's mind, Randall was too important. He can only show his weakness and let Curt take what he wants.

"During my absence, you managed to kill Prince Owen. ”

Curt breathed a sigh of relief, he was still worried that Blue Kate would break his wrist and give up on Randall directly, after all, Ioham's cronies are amazingly loyal. After confirming that Blue Kate's infatuation with Randall was hopeless, Curt calmly continued:

"Prince Wren is a man of knowledge, and I can convince him not to use Randall's brains. So just kill Owen, it's just a small thing for you, right?"

Kate stiffened and nodded slowly. Doing so would be tantamount to betraying Ioham, but he had no other choice.

As a result, Kate will be dragged in Alterland for a while. Curt silently clenched his fists - he had finally removed the biggest stumbling block in the assassination of Ioham. (To be continued......)
