The corners of the gray-robed man's mouth seemed to be slightly curved, maybe he was smiling?
Ranico couldn't make any expressions - he wanted to back away as soon as possible, away from the terrible figure, but a tremendous force came over his head, forcing him to stagger forward...... All the blood seemed to be concentrating on his head, and the tremendous pressure soon made him unconscious, and he could only instinctively obey and sit back in the chair.

"I'm sorry to use some unkind tactics, but don't worry, Mr. Lani. Personally, I don't have any ill will towards you, but it's not easy to find a chance to talk to you alone. The voice in the shadow of the hood was calm but ethereal, making it impossible to distinguish his feelings, and Lani could only nod.
The originally soft and warm leather seemed to turn into ice cubes at this time, making his body tremble slightly.
Anything a person hears when he is on the verge of death is like the last straw he grabbed in the surging Yellow River, and he will subconsciously follow the other party's words, not to mention that at this time, the shovel Lani has been so painful that he is so frightened that he has no ability to think and judge, and if he finally retains a little reason, it is just a sad instinctive reaction:
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Rani swallowed, trying to calm his voice.
It wasn't easy, the pain in his head, the change of the mysterious voice just now, all made his mind messy—as a veteran ring finger, he knew very well what the figure who had passed through the defenses so quietly and came to others represented - the elite of the killers. Among the pyramids of the dark world, the most apex type exists zài.
As for why the other party kept his life, it was very simple, because there was still some value - or some information, or something that needed to be done - and he could only expect the latter now, because the former meant that the other party would do whatever it took to get it, and then he would become a waste that had to be removed.
For a moment all his attention had shifted to the dark passage in the corner, ready to pounce on it without doing anything, but reason finally restrained him and made him give up the pointless struggle.
He is not facing an ordinary killer, but a spellcaster, and in front of a spellcaster who is good at acting in the shadows, honesty is the best way to deal with it.
"Don't worry, Mr. Rani, you're an honest and kind man, and I've always liked people like that. The black-robed man said slowly, as if he was smiling: "Actually, I have always wanted to be a kind person, but unfortunately I don't seem to have that kind talent, so I have to do it casually." Still, if I'm looking for a partner, I'm inclined to look for someone like that, which can be reassuring. ”
For a moment, Lani himself wanted to laugh - yes, ridiculously.
A strange feeling rose in the ring finger's heart, although his appearance, his words and deeds, and even his nickname were extremely low-key, but in fact, with the help of the union, his cunning had already been known throughout the Romante's underworld - just this year, the murder of one-seventh of the entire Romante, at least one hundred and fifty human lives, was the work of his guild multi-armed giants. And behind the deaths of more than 100 people, there is the shadow of this ring finger.
And now, someone actually said that he was honest and kind?
Well, when such words are used to compliment, Lani will only feel his hair stand on end - if he, the famous ring finger of the underworld, and the shovel Lani are also kind, then what should this guy in front of him who claims to be not kind enough?
Devils?
"No, no, Mr. Lani, just because you've made something wrong and killed someone, or planned to kill someone, doesn't mean you're not kind. Sometimes it is necessary for the sake of the majority of people, their own people. The black-robed man stretched out a finger and shook it: "You see, just like before, you just sent out an invitation and then set a trap near the venue, which is undoubtedly the least damage in exchange for the greatest effect, and with your current strength, you don't need such a ...... Well, to be honest, I should feel lucky, because there are twelve guilds in the whole romance that are our enemies, and they all contribute to you. It's no wonder that business hasn't been going well since we took over. ”
"You ...... You are, those half-...... Someone from the Half-Elf Chamber of Commerce?"
"You can call us the Assassins, or, the half-elves, as long as they don't mean anything malevolent, that's just a name. The black-robed man sat down, but no matter how the angle changed, Lani still couldn't see the face in the shadow of the hood - the darkness was condensed there like a piece of cloth, obscuring a qiē vision, revealing only a vague outline of the jaw, and two solid glances: "As for the reason why I'm here, and our intention, it's a deal. I, well, to be exact, us, need a friend. ”
"A partner who can make a profit together, you know, you can live without relatives, but you can't live without friends. And you, Mr. Lani, are the most suitable person we can find. His voice softened a little, calming his heart.
"Me?ah, of course, this...... It is my pleasure. ”
The unexpected answer made Lani's eyes narrow - the imaginary coerced confession or threat did not come, but there was no need for this person to waste time on him, then, it seems that the next step is to solve the problem with conversation - since it is a talk, then there is room for bargaining, even if the other party is really a demon, as long as the price is right, what can not be discussed.
As for the allies? They're not trying to negotiate with the Giants, are they?
"Or, you have made some unfavorable judgments or even actions about us before, but that was only when we didn't know each other...... But now. We are friends, and we have always treated friends equally. The meaning of the existence of the trade union is originally for mutual assistance and mutual benefit, everyone is for me, I am for everyone......"
It's simply not realistic.
Among Romante's underground guilds, the multi-armed giant may be the largest one, and the most powerful to speak, but in Romandy, although it is impossible to claim to dominate the world, I am the only one, or even the emperor, or which division.
The multi-armed giants are just a part of a city that spawns the half-elves that suddenly appear...... This matter involves the common interests of all the forces, and if you make a move at this time, it will only be exchanged for the hostility of other guilds without hesitation, and they will eat it.
Not to mention that behind this qiē, there is a powerful pusher.
His head seemed to have recovered from the terrible pain, so the ring finger thought of many things in an instant, but this time the person opposite him continued to talk unhurriedly.
"Of course, mutual assistance and mutual benefit, there must be help before you can expect to receive help, therefore. We will give you some real help, so that the friendship and trust between us can be fully established, and at the same time, we can make our business flourish......" The black-robed man raised his head slightly, and his invisible gaze met Rani's eyes: "Oh, you see, this matter is really simple, I have already finished speaking. Or is it thanks to Mr. Lani, you know us well enough before, so let's talk about you? I heard that you also have a nickname, oh no, it's a title, it's called ring finger? Tsk, that nickname doesn't sound very imposing, does it mean that your dream is to be a nameless person all your life in the shadows? Hmm, that's a ...... I have to say, strange incomprehensible dreams. ”
"Hmm...... Well, it's okay......" Lani froze, and found that he seemed to be a little unable to keep up with the thoughts of the guy in front of him: "I don't have the strength to be famous, so I ......"
"Strength, what is strength? The size of the fist, the number of muscles, the height of the body? This is indeed a manifestation of strength, but if this is all there is, isn't it supposed to be a barbarian sitting on that throne in the center of the city today? Oh, or, it should be a division? But in fact, our majesty does not have these abilities, why? I think you know better than I do. ”
Lani's body straightened slightly—the other man's words seemed to be right on his mind.
"October Massacre, the extermination of the Carmen family, Kraka Bridge...... I have to say, this is a very sophisticated and wonderful plan. But who made these plans? I remember, your power king, Lexa...... He was originally just a coolie in the East District, just relying on people and horses, a bit of brute strength, and a few small people to eat, if you don't join in later, hehe, how much territory can he hold up now?
"But......" Lani instinctively retorted, but the black-robed man shook his hand.
"When you have strength, of course, you have to rely on strength to speak, and planning and wisdom really don't work when you are face-to-face, but even if you are another way of order, it doesn't mean that what you do all day long is face-to-face killing, right?"
"That's right, it's the power of the twelve guilds that maintains the order of the entire Romante, and these orders are also closely related to the upper echelons, but don't forget, it's the twelve guilds that maintain this order, not the power king Lexa, not the wild dog Conrad, not the bald Benny, not the silver coin law...... The ones who maintain order are the index fingers that watch over the territory on the streets, the thumbs that are stationed in the various fields, the middle fingers that settle accounts and dispatch people in the various nests, the golden fingers that run around the streets to collect funds, and the ring fingers that control order behind the scenes like you, and those bosses. Hehe, to put it mildly, what are they? They can't even compare to those little fingers, at least the little fingers play a very big role at the critical moment, and the bosses? They will only be high up, chewing tobacco, nibbling on pieces of meat, drinking red wine for hundreds of gold coins, and shouting at the people below, and when necessary, they can shout "Brothers, rush me!" and then hide away from themselves. ”
"Anyway, no matter how much the so-called brothers lose, he's still the boss......" Lani couldn't help but grit his teeth and muttered in a low voice,
"Let's take Lexa as an example, he did his best at the beginning, but what about after that? What has he done over the years besides giving orders from above? Oh, yes, he contributed his name, and when something happens, people may say, we are the people of Lexa, the king of power! But does that mean that the boss can drag you out of death when something happens? And I don't need to say more about whose strength the success of each plan depends on, right?"
In fact, this is already a norm. The leader of the guild is like this, especially when it has developed to a certain level, no matter how dare to fight and rush, the guys will also be timid, afraid that they will lose the qiē they have gained, so they will constantly compromise and retreat......" Lani tugged at the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully: "Just like this ......"
The figure in the black robe bowed slightly, although Rani only shut up after only half a sentence, as if he realized something.
"From the beginning, everyone has been working hard for this guild, and now, since some people are not working hard, then do they have to fight for it...... For your own sake, let all this garbage that hinders the development of the gang disappear?" he stood up, and the face in the hood cleared a little.
It's just that people can notice that there are a pair of silver pupils.
......
The weather was fine.
The rising sun takes away the morning dew and mixes with the breeze to create a pleasant cool feeling
Edward was also in a good mood.
Sitting in an open-air seat on the corner of the street, he sipped a goat's milk with water and observed the small theater. Obviously not interested in watching the play, people coming in and out, with a subtle smile on the corner of their mouths.
...... Even the voice of the Spirit Crystal Servant was squeaking in his head.
"It's not to forcibly attack the other party's brain, but to use language to persuade and guide the situation...... It's not bad, you finally understand some of the basics, and the growth of the apparent power is also so-so. It's just a pity that you're a teleporter, and you always have too little knowledge of the ability to attack. Moreover, before your strength really becomes stronger, most of these things that affect the mind are not very powerful, just like the guy just now, if his absolute strength exceeds yours, and he knows the bias of your ability, maybe now you can only wail in their hands. ”
Edward tugged at the corners of his mouth, ignoring the frivolous attacks - the Spirit Crystal Servant was obviously just as excited, and the incessant crawling up and down Edward's sleeve was enough to give away a little bit of the guy's mood.
Is this what it feels like to grow in power?
Psionic energy is so powerful that it does not require a magic net, and the caster's strong will is enough to mobilize and influence the primordial energy of nature, achieving various effects that seem to be similar to the essence of magic, but completely different. As the amount of manifest energy increased, Edward found himself more and more able to recognize the mysteries.
For example, Isaac left one of two abilities in his head, and that ability is called Manipulating Voices, and it works for a reason.
Using psionic energy to break down and alter the sound waves that travel through the air within the radius, while similar to the illusions in the illusion system, it is a little different - it cannot be manufactured, but it can replace the target sound with whatever sound you hear. and the exact replication of the voice of a specific individual or the inherently terrifying voice. For example, amplify the sound to such an extent that it attracts the attention of everyone in the area. It is possible to completely suppress the noise, or change the speaker's words to muffled or other words. Even the snoring of a dragon was replaced with the sound of a waterfall rushing.
It has no attack power, but it can control a large number of situations.
But what excites Edward the most is the second-order ability that has just awakened.
Mind Reading ...... Or the idea of reading, the power that had manifested itself in Edward's initial burst of power, had finally returned to him once again.
Although this ability is not absolute, in reality, the psyker can only read some thoughts on the surface of the brain and not memorize them—he can only know if the other person thinks of them...... But it doesn't seem to make much difference, or perhaps thanks to the cunning of this Lani - his quick thinking, sharp guessing and suspiciousness, so that the amount of information that leaks through the surface is quite large, and Edward has gained a lot.
“...... Unfortunately, I couldn't use it as freely as I did at that time, but I did get a lot of information. Putting down the cup in his hand, the Psychiocrat thought, "Besides, this time it seems that I have caught a big fish...... The son of the Minister of Foreign Affairs?No wonder he can mobilize such power, but will his father really be indifferent if he does so?well, even if the old man doesn't manage these things...... This kind of thing of raising livestock killers seems to be a very annoying thing for His Majesty the King, oh, you guys are really big husbands doing this?"
The frequent flow of people in the small theater has finally come to an end...... So Edward left the little hiding place and got into a rental carriage.
The next arrangement of Mr. Shovel, whether it succeeded or failed, Romandy's underground forces could imagine a huge shock - since the half-blood would not be able to save the cake in front of them, then they had to find a way to make the cake more - the exit of a few diners would surely make this matter much easier.
As for how much capital can be snatched at the table of re-dividing the spoils, then it depends on the skill of the individual.
......
The ride wasn't long, and the destination was actually reached before the cushions of the carriage were warm.
But when Edward jumped out of the carriage and walked into the nicely decorated inn on the side of the street, he was stunned by what he could see.
Mornings are colder than midnight in places like hotels, but now, at the table against the wall, a few able-bodied people take their place, drinking without saying a word.
Of course, Edward had no interest in men, so what caught his eye was the figures of those guys.
She sat there quietly, just under the hood of a plain burqa, but there was no reflection of metal.
