"Aihuas, someone's coming."

Suddenly, Vignes, who was standing on Ivus's shoulder, reminded, "There is no hostility. ”

Her voice was as soft as the murmur of a bedtime story. The crow pecked the hair of Ivus's sideburns, which caused Ivus to raise his hand and comb his itchy hair.

"Came to me?"

Ivas casually confirmed.

The question was so, but he had already believed Vignes' warning.

So Ivas raised his hand and tightened his neckline, deflected the scarf around, and put his coat on a tighter place, slightly blocking the fresh blood at the neckline.

The bloody gas in the air probably can't be dissipated. But keeping clean is also a form of courtesy.

As for who would come to him, there weren't many people who could know that Ivas had come to Lloyd's at this time, who had the guts to come to him, who was not hostile to him, and who knew that he had stopped at the seventeenth floor to heal his wounds.

If you limit the range to the range where Ivas can't hear footsteps, there will be only one.

So when there was a soft knock on the office door from the outside, Ivas spoke, "Please come in, Lady Grey Green." ”

The person who opened the door was a woman who looked unremarkable in terms of dress and appearance.

She looked like a housewife on the side of the road, looking to be in her forties, with a slightly rickety back. She had slightly rough split brown curls and cloudy gray-green pupils like a wolf.

The woman looked quite gentle, even a little reserved. When I walked into the office, I even subconsciously grabbed the hem of my clothes with both hands - like a simple farmer, who was suddenly called to the school office by the child's homeroom teacher and was at a loss.

If it weren't for the fact that Ivus couldn't hear her footsteps at all, I'm afraid she would have really recognized her as an ordinary person.

And there is no doubt that this very simple flaw is exactly what she deliberately exposed to Ivus. If she had deliberately concealed her identity, Eivas would have been unaware of it.

"Minister Moriarty......"

The woman replied in a low and respectful voice.

And Ivas just nodded gently, "Please be seated." ”

As a result, Ewass's attitude surprised Gray Green.

Because Iwas's attitude was so friendly, so friendly that all the filings she had done before to persuade Iwass were invalid.

"You...... Know me? ”

The "gray-green" lady sat down slowly, a little surprised.

"Of course."

Ivus nodded and said with a smile, "Lloyd's 'Grey Green' and the leader of Avalon's biggest killer organization." ”

She was also a version 1.0 Assassin class mentor. At the same time, it is also the only BOSS in Lloyd's third-rate organization that is qualified to enter the capital.

Even though "Avalon's killer" is actually a rather ridiculous-sounding phrase...... But the so-called short one is tall among the tall, and this middle-aged aunt who is not amazing is indeed Avalon's strongest killer.

In the original world line, it was Gray Green who took the order of Minister Drost and sent out the killer to assassinate Lily and Lily's mother; Eventually, the leader of Lloyd's, Tommy Lloyd's, also died at the hands of Grey Green, after which she became the new leader of Lloyd's.

At the beginning, the disguised identity "Ash" that Ivus prepared for Lily during Lily's promotion ceremony was set up as an apprentice of the "Gray-Green Lady".

Tommy was also an Assassin apprentice trained by their "mother" with Grey Green before he was adopted by Lloyd. It was only because Tommy lacked talent in this area that he was eventually eliminated and taken away by the previous generation of Lloyd presidents.

The "gray-green" profession is the Bladewalker, commonly known as the "Stinger".

She is an assassin who specializes in all kinds of poisoning techniques, and a career mentor that players love so much. Later, when I entered Ben, I also broke out the level 50 graduation outfit of the Stinger profession in a very friendly way.

It can be said that the prestige from life to death is very high. That's why when Ivus prepared Lily's identity, he subconsciously thought of her.

Compared to the Shadow Assassin, who builds a skill system around the "Drill Technique" of shadow stealth, and the "Sharpshooter" who launches a sniper-like long-range raid after stealth, the "Stinger" is more in line with the operating habits of Assassin players who come from other games.

This is undoubtedly the assassin who best fits Avalon's characteristics.

Because those assassins who are proficient in stealth and stealth can easily be smashed by the lawmen and priests everywhere in Avalon with a flashbang; And a gunman who is proficient in firearms poses little threat to a physically strong tin can.

I want to forcibly assassinate the knights with rough skin and thick flesh who follow the attendants and butlers at every turn in Avalon, who is full of wet nurses...... It must be enough to be able to fight.

You have to be able to deal a lot of damage in a short period of time, and you have to have constant control, preferably with no armor.

- Aside from the Bladewalker, the Assassins of the other lineage systems are simply not able to mix in Avalon.

Even if Miss Assassin Chloe was an elite assassin who could assassinate an extraordinary person of her caliber at Iris, she would be unlikely to succeed in assassinating an arbitrator of her caliber in Avalon.

Because the vitality of the knights above the fourth level is too strong, it is very likely that she will not be able to kill people after a set of skills, and she will be dragged to the rescuers to rush over. Director Gordon, who had fought against Chloe before, was put on the face by the deformity demon Ora Ora Ora Ora a whole set, and as a result, he didn't even leave a fracture injury.

If an assassin can't be assassinated by an opponent of the same level, he has basically been abolished.

Gray-green is the opposite.

Her class in this system does not emphasize stealth ability, but has particularly strong burst damage.

Rather than an assassin, he is an agile warrior with strong mobility and temporary stealth ability, and his own physical poison damage.

The "Grey-Green Lady" has many identities. She is mainly responsible for the gray areas of Lloyd's business. For example, urging loan repayment, mediating fights between various subordinate gangs, and in addition to running casinos and nightclubs. In addition to this, she is also a street vendor selling haggis soup.

When the players are not in a "full" state where they have eaten food, after talking to "Gray Green", they can get a free bowl of haggis soup from her every day.

Although the attributes are very average, as long as you have eaten food, you have a faint "Extraordinary Skill Experience Bonus".

For players who are reluctant to spend money on food and buffs in the early stage, this kind nameless old lady can be said to be very helpful.

Ivas didn't personally experience that era, but he had seen a similar statement on the forum - when the players followed the plot to open a casino and nightclub, they saw that the owners behind each store looked like the aunt in haggis soup......

Players thought it was the God of Appearance studio that was too lazy to model.

Although some players joked that it was all Big Mom's business, or "this is Big Mom's clone army", no one took it seriously.

- It turned out to be her later.

Although, in a sense, she is also related to the death of Lily's mother. But Ivas had already told Lily who had done it, and Lily had always had a clear grudge in this regard.

"The assassin is just an employer's weapon, and it is the father's murderous intent that really kills the mother. Even if there was no 'gray-green' person, there would be a gray-green rusty knife that would take her life. ”

That's Lily's attitude towards the Grey-Green Lady.

As both an assassin and a companion to the path, she can understand gray and green. Perhaps it's also because she also sees herself as a tool for Ivus.

It is precisely because of this that when Lloyd's was liquidated later, Ivas did not go to the trouble of gray and green.

If Lily made it clear that she didn't want to take revenge on Grey-Green, then Ivas didn't want to do it again.

After all, Gray Green also wants to manage the big and small gangs in Lloyd's from the bottom of his heart.

If Grey and Green were also locked up, the leaderless Lloyd's area would be thrown into chaos. Rather than supporting a new agent at that time, it is better to go straight to gray and green.

And Lily just lacks the professional education to be a proper Assassin...... The Grey-Green Lady happens to be the career mentor for the 1.0 version of the Assassin class.

While Lily will probably become a Shadow Assassin, it's always a good idea to learn melee skills.

Gray Green took the initiative to find it at this time, so it was more like Aihuas's heart.

It didn't even take her to open her mouth for Ivus to know what her purpose was.

"You want me to help you integrate Lloyd's?" Ivas asked.

This is the obsession of the "gray-green" lady in the game.

Now Tommy is dead and Boca is in prison. The factions to which both of them belonged were cleared.

The only surviving faction in Lloyd's is the Grey Green Lady.

"No," Grey Green shook his head in denial, "I hope...... You are able to take over Lloyd's. ”

She said sincerely.

This surprised Eivas: "I thought you had been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

Unlike Tommy Lloyd, who plotted against Isabel and intended to usurp the country, he also did not have an affair with the noble red like Vice President Boca.

"Gray and green" is very pure, pure gangsters who only work for the gangsters of Lloyd's.

- Very high purity.

She doesn't care about the noble red, the Prince Lloyd, the spy, or the invasion of the Star Antimony...... This gangster aunt who has never been to school and doesn't even know how to read and write is very simple and wants to unite the underground gangs on the glass island and bring a new underground order.

"You...... Can you even see this? ”

Grey Green looked at Ivas with some awe: "I have long heard that Minister Moriarty has demonic evil intelligence...... Ah, sorry. This is a saying circulating in the Avalonian underground...... It's a compliment. ”

That's true.

As an "adaptor", she is quite adept at the art of silence.

The power to adapt to the path had to do with secrets, and she never told them to anyone.

"I know what you're thinking," Ivas said slowly, "and you want Lloyd's to be less chaotic and full of blood and sin." You want to straighten out the Lloyd's quarters.

"But at the same time, you don't want gang members who have basically committed crimes and don't have the skills to die or lose their jobs.

"Because that's where you grew up. Those 'good people' in the streets and alleys of Lloyd's who are more or less guilty of a little crime are your uncles and uncles. It's also a neighbor who grew up with you.

"You just want to protect Lloyd's. Or more narrowly, it's to protect the Lloyd's area, right? ”

Ivus whispered.

Gray-Green looked at Ivas in almost horror.

Her eyes flashed with admiration that bordered on submission: "Yes...... You're right. ”

Gray-green is indeed not a good person. But at least she's not so crazy and can sit down and talk about cooperation.

She is a very typical gang member - uneducated and vulgar, never takes human life seriously, easily hurts others, can't save money and can't make money quietly, contempt for the law but is righteous.

But it's different from other gang members...... She clearly knows that these tasks will not last long, and sooner or later they will lead to disaster. That's why she's been trying to clear the names of these gangsters.

It's just a pity that Lloyd's is almost held in the palm of the hand by the noble red. It doesn't count if she says it alone.

Because of the noble red, because of the Rose Cross, because of the Star Antimony, they don't want these gangsters controlled by Lloyd's to have a chance to be whitewashed. And she didn't have the kind of mind to fight them...... Therefore, she can only choose to remain silent.

Hibernating, camouflaging, looking for opportunities. Pop up like a venomous snake and kill with one blow.

- Ivas doesn't know why she suddenly killed Tommy Lloyd.

But you can guess it...... As a half-blood giant, Tommy's relationship with Noble Red is too close. Gray Green does not want Lloyd's to become a tool in the hands of foreigners, let alone just a consumable and stepping stone for Lloyd's president to grab materials.

Or, to put it more precisely, not Lloyd's – but the gangs that Lloyd's controls.

So while Avalon's capital was completely controlled by the Starmones, the gangs were still resisting the Starmones, much longer than the regular army. Just like Hayna, who had become the leader of the "Hyena Gang" at that time.

She can't trust anyone else.

Because those people will only use the low-level gang members she cares about as consumables.

“…… But you want me to take control of Lloyd's. ”

Ivus whispered, reaching out and touching the crow on his shoulder, not looking back at Grey Green, "May I think so, Grey Green Lady - you think I'm going to give the Bottom Gang a chance." A chance you can't give them. ”

"Yes, Minister......"

"You guessed it, I could."

Ivus turned his head and looked at Gray-Green.

With his back to the office window, Ewass' face was against the light. But his pupils shimmered with a deep and eerie purple glow.

"Then what can you ...... What to do for Avalon? ”

Ivas asked slowly, word by word.

Gray Green seemed to be ready for a long time, and she replied without hesitation: "Of course, the opportunity to completely change the old society of Avalon!" ”

"Oh?"

Under Aihuas's curious gaze, Gray Green raised his voice and said, "Please let me introduce you to Mr. ...... 'Gold Coins'!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Evath didn't hear his footsteps either—but since the Daredevil didn't warn, he wasn't an enemy. So, after receiving Ivus's consent, the "Mr. Goldcoin" walked in.

- It was a guest who was completely unexpected by Ivus.

The guest who shouldn't have been in Avalon at this time made Evas's eyes widen slightly.

The gentleman had dark green skin and was no more than half the height of a normal person.

His expression was hideous, his fangs were baring, and he looked rather ugly. There is also a dangerous madness, like that kind of high-spirited gambler.

But unlike his appearance, he wears a rather high-end gown with a black round top hat. Looks polite, calm and composed temperament. The complete opposite of his dangerous and crazy temperament.

A goblin.

In his hand he was holding a pocket watch—a transcendent object that could conceal his breath.

"Gah! Ga! ”

The crow on Evas's shoulder suddenly crowed.

The Daredevil's voice rang out in the back of Aihuas's heart: "Be careful, master. It was a powerhouse of the fifth energy level. ”

“…… It's okay, I know him. ”

Ivus replied inwardly.

He stared at the goblin merchant and asked, "Are you...... Mr. Grande? ”

"What a surprise, Honorable Minister Moriarty."

The ugly and crazy goblin made a polite and calm voice that was completely different from what it looked like. It was the most standard Avalon language, and even had a glass island accent.

If you want to describe it, it's like the kind of elegant and calm uncle's voice that only appears in animation: "You, who have never left Avalon, actually know my name."

"—even the 'Grey-Green' lady doesn't know my real name."

"I still have some friends overseas."

Ivas replied ambiguously: "I think the reputation of Grande, the 'Dragon Trader', is quite great. ”

As his title suggests.

This "Grande" is the mount and pet merchant in the game.

He was generally active in the Southern Continent, and was a rather powerful and transcendent person with a path of wisdom. Rational, selfish and treacherous, one might even say ...... Rich to rival the country.

To put it nicely, he is engaged in "ocean-going biological trade".

To put it mildly, human traffickers.

The trolls of the Southern Continent are extremely fertile, extremely resilient, and powerful, and at the same time have low intelligence.

As a result, the goblins formed plantations in the southern continent and let the trolls do the work. The domesticated trolls are then sold to other countries as slaves.

Trolls eat only ten people's food, and can do the heavy work of twenty people, and they don't pay for it.

Many of the frontier areas were pioneered by trolls.

Ivas wondered if it was a bit of a triangular trade.

It can even be said that the reason why Avalon did not seize the opportunity of the wave of exploration and colonization is because of the influence of giants, which makes the Avalon people extremely xenophobic.

Whether it's a troll or a goblin...... As long as it's not an elf, the Avalons are repulsive. This directly leads to their inability to compete with other countries that have trolls as a tool.

Both irises and antimonies deal with goblin merchants. Irises have been doing some work to abolish the monarchy lately, so they can't openly sell trolls...... But on the Star Antimony side, it requires a lot of heavy labor, ritual materials, test objects, and corpses.

It can even be said that ...... Star Antimony's technology can develop so fast, it is inseparable from the "troll" race.

And this Grandet, in addition to being a troll, also sells some rare things.

For example, rare wild animals, such as rare and extraordinary materials...... For example, living transcendent beings.

He has sold the "fairy" of the path of love, and of course the child of the moon. He has sold goblins on the path of beauty, and griffons on the path of authoritarianism. And the reason why he was able to sell these things without being hunted down and wanted was because he didn't capture them...... Rather, it is through a formal "contract" to obtain the ownership of the other party.

Maybe it's to help the other person solve a problem, such as saving someone; Perhaps it is through gambling to make the other party gamble on their own freedom—although it is not necessarily allowed to "press one's own freedom" in the laws of various countries, it is allowed in the transcendent realm. Just as transcendent beings who transcend the path can sacrifice themselves.

Unlike other traffickers, Grande focuses on a legal and formal process. When there is enough capital, he just needs to keep moving resources around and make them increase in value. And that's all he has to offer.

And his trade behavior is more like entertainment for the purpose of completing his "path tasks" and upgrading them.

Among the many transcendent creatures sold by Grande, there was one that made him famous.

That's the dragon.

- Yes, he sold a genuine pure-blooded dragon that voluntarily sold his own.

"You know me...... That's great. ”

The goblin merchant said slowly, his voice low and magnetic, "Straight to the point, I want to talk to you about a business. ”

"And me?"

Ivus raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically, "Or ...... Is it and Avalon? ”

"Both."

Grandet smiled slightly, and that calm temperament gave his extremely ugly face and short dwarf-like body an abnormal magical charm: "Let's talk about what you care about the most-

"Queen Isabel ascends the throne...... Is it time for Avalon's xenophobic policy to shut down the country? ”
