"From today onwards, I'm going to do extreme training for a while, and during this time, Brian and Hotin are in charge of the family affairs, with Christine assisting. /|\ Update fast /|\ Alchemy Factory matters, leave it to Lilith, Eagle and Nancy to deal with. You just have to do it the way I left it to get things done. ”

After ending the call with Isado Nepper, Xiu Yixun made an important decision.

He wants to increase his strength in the shortest possible time.

"How long are you going to practice?"

"Seventh, or at least become a sixth-level warrior first, and touch the threshold of the advanced level. Huey replied.

"That's not something you can achieve with a short period of extreme training. Above level five, the difficulty increases exponentially with each level of promotion. It's not that there are no samurai who have worked hard to cultivate, but usually when they reach the sixth level, they are already at the peak. A high-level samurai cannot succeed by mere penance. Buckler said.

"What else is needed?"

"The understanding of vindictiveness. ”

"I already have an understanding of fighting spirit, and I can even use combat skills now. ”

Xiuyi's understanding of vindictiveness is indeed very strong. The saddest bottleneck for others is not a problem for him. The only thing he needed now was to raise the strength of Dou Qi through penance and lay a solid enough foundation.

The reason why I chose to cultivate Dou Qi was also from a holistic perspective. Samurai differ from mages in that powerful samurai have better environmental adaptability and combat survivability. They may not be able to achieve various effects through spells like magicians, but their physical strength can sometimes ignore everything.

After the level of the magician is raised, it is just to master some more powerful spells, and the promotion of the samurai increases the strength of the whole person, reflexes, agility and flexibility, and so on. From this point of view, the samurai improves the quality of the body, and the mage only improves the magic power and the method of using the magic power.

For Xiu Yi, the fourth-level spells of the wind system are enough to use, but they are at the level of a fifth-level warrior, and they can't even reach the threshold of a high-level warrior in the Reims Empire. In the words of the upper echelons of the Reims Empire, only those above level seven are real warriors, and below level seven, they can only be warriors and cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Since you want to improve your strength, you can't leave yourself with shortcomings, since Xiu Yi is a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, then it is the most appropriate way to focus on fighting spirit and supplemented by magic.

Buckler laughed too, "That's right, you're a genius, Huey." So, where are you going to cultivate?"

"How about the land of divine grace in the Lilegula Mountain, I heard that there are many powerful demonic beasts there, maybe there can be a good training for me. ”

Hearing the name of the Land of Divine Grace, Buckler's face became a little ugly: "This idea is dangerous, Xiuy, it's not just for anyone to go there. ”

"Danger makes us grow, danger makes us strong, and crisis makes us realize. Brian, if you want to be strong, you must have the heart to face danger. Otherwise, just the improvement of strength will never be able to become a real powerhouse. ”

“...... You're right, Huey, you do look more and more like a samurai now. ”

"I love the mystery and wonder of magic, but I also appreciate the strength and bravery of the samurai. I'm a greedy person, and I want both. ”

"So...... Good luck. ”

The northern suburbs of Winrington, Herb Street, Golden Dragon Clubhouse.

It is one of the most luxurious clubhouses in Winrington.

The clubhouse was a favorite place for the aristocracy's daily pleasures, providing a variety of services for guests, including food, wine, women's and gambling services.

In the Reims Empire, the vast majority of high-class brothels and casinos existed in the form of clubs, catering exclusively to the upper class. Including the Lampa Clubhouse, where Hue once visited, also provides services like this.

However, the Golden Dragon Club is slightly different from other clubs......

Catarina Vest sat at her desk, looking at the ledger with a serious face, and a row of more than a dozen of her men stood below, all trembling and frightened.

"Business is down twenty percent, there's a lot of money on the books, and that bastard Ravi even swept away my 3,000 gold wits. Damn, you idiots, shit. Did I raise you so that you could devour me like worms?"

No one dared to speak.

Everyone knows that the boss is not terrible when he is angry, but if the boss has no temper when he is angry, then the problem is serious.

That means there's a good chance someone here won't see tomorrow's sun again.

Today, though, the situation is somewhat exceptional.

Before Catarina Vest's anger could explode, there was a knock outside the door.

Then, before Catalina let the other in, the door opened.

A young and handsome man stood at the door: "Boss, there is a guest who wants to see you." ”

Catarina's brow furrowed: "Lil, you shouldn't bother me at this time. ”

The young man named Lille didn't seem to be afraid of Catarina, and he shrugged: "You can make up for your lost guest, and if you don't want to see him, I'll tell him to go." ”

"Wait. Catarina immediately said, shouting at her men, "Fuck off, you shit!"

All his men left in a hurry as if they had been pardoned.

"All right, Lille, bring the guest in, and hope he will bring a good business. ”

Guests enter the door quickly.

It was a man in a black robe, with a black hood on his head, making it impossible to see his face.

Even when he came to Catarina's office, the other party had no intention of removing the hood, but only nodded slightly to Catarina: "Hello, beautiful Mrs. Sweet. The reason why I came here is because I heard that the Golden Dragon Club can provide some services that are not available outside. ”

"It is our aim to provide a full range of services to our valued guests and meet their needs. Catalina smiled professionally: "Here you can get the best wine and beautiful people." ”

The guest chuckled, "If it were for the sake of wine and women, I wouldn't be here, Mrs. Sweet, how about getting to the point?" ”

"What commission?"

"Kill. ”

Catarina leaned back in her chair and made a relaxed gesture before saying, "I don't know where you heard that." However, Golden Dragon Club does not provide such services, which is contrary to national laws. ”

"Oh, is it?" the guest's head lifted slightly, and a glimmer of light shot from under the black hood: "Catarina West, once a member of the ancient West family, has noble noble blood in her body. At the age of twelve, the family is ruined, and you are sold to a brothel, where you become the most popular woman after two years of training. The first time you killed was when you were fourteen when you stabbed a fruit knife in the throat of the man who bought you your first night. After that, you're gone. Ten years later, you came to Winrington with a lot of money in your pocket and built the Golden Dragon Club, which you have been doing for eight years. On the surface, the Golden Dragon Club is no different from a regular clubhouse, but in reality, you are the head of the League of Assassins' branch in Winrington, Reims. You are connected to most of the good Assassins, and receiving commissions, sending commissions, collecting commissions through intermediaries, and selling all kinds of information are the most important sources of income for your organization. Compared with this kind of underground business, the business on the surface of the Golden Dragon Club is simply child's play...... Even though you're beautiful and make every man want to sleep with you when they see you, few people know that you're an excellent killer in your own right. Your favorite thing to do is to seduce a guy into your bed and then kill him when he s***s. There are forty-two girls in your Golden Dragon Club, half of them Assassins, and they have all been trained by you. You are a person who believes in and admires money very much, and yes, for a woman like you, there is nothing to pursue except money. And now, I'm the one who gives you money. ”

Catarina Vest's face turned a little ugly.

She ordered herself a cigar-like gadget specially shipped from NTU 6, which is a refined plant leaf that gives off a pleasant aroma when burned. Holding it to her mouth, she folded her arms and looked at the guest coldly: "Your luck is good, if it was before, a guest exposed my bottom like this, I would not hesitate to tear him to pieces." Since you know my situation, you should know my temper. If you're here for a drink with the girls, I'll greet you with a smile. But if you're here to place a commission, then you should learn to follow the rules. Not every industry has to look at the faces of customers. ”

"Of course, every line has its own rules. The guest nodded.

"Rule 1: Don't target any country's high nobles, and we won't take on tasks that will cause trouble for ourselves. Rule 2: The League of Assassins is only responsible for intermediaries, not for shooting. Rule 3: Pay the honorarium first, there is no paper agreement, and do things entirely by reputation. Rule 4: Don't deal with the peak powerhouse......"

"Enough. The guest stopped: "Cherish time, I know all your rules, and some rules are not immutable, such as not dealing with the peak powerhouse, it is better to say that there is not enough price to deal with." ”

"So...... Who is the target?" Since the other party has even figured out his identity and origin, those rules and the cats in it are naturally very clear. Catarina wasn't surprised.

"Hue Igler. ”

Catarina sat up from her position and stared at each other with beautiful eyes: "Huy Glore, are you kidding?"

"He is not a high-ranking nobleman of the empire, nor is he a peak powerhouse, and he conforms to your rules in all aspects. ”

"But that guy isn't easy to deal with!" Catarina West said viciously, "The Reims Empire hasn't been able to do anything to him! He's not the one who gives you the right cheek when you hit him on the left cheek." If the legend is true, then if you mess with him, he will pay you back tenfold. ”

"That's not something you need to worry about, is it? Don't forget you're just an intermediary. The guest replied softly, "Let the commission go, and the Assassins will make their own choice." I will pay 20,000 gold for the life of Iglaire, and the rest depends on the will of God. ”

Catarina West thought for a while, and finally nodded: "No problem, but according to the rules, if the task is not completed and you want to cancel the commission, we will deduct the 10% commission from your money." ”

"No problem. ”

"Identity, name, contact details. ”

"The identity of the client is confidential, what is the contact information...... As long as the task is completed, I will know. ”

As the black-robed guest left, Catarina Vest looked at his back with suspicion in her eyes.

Snow-white fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, and she thought for a moment before saying, "This thing is strange. ”

"Yes, ma'am. The handsome young man suddenly appeared beside Catarina West.

Generally speaking, there are usually two reasons why the client places an assassination mission. One: absolute hatred. Two: absolute interests.

A target like Huey Gler, to be honest, doesn't have the value of commissioning an assassination. He has no personal vendetta and no reason to kill him because of hatred. The Reims Empire had a reason to do this, but it was absolutely impossible and unreasonable for them to carry out the commissioned assassination, and the Empire itself had a large enough number of strong men to do all this.

As for benefits, the client did not put forward any need for benefits, or even asked for something on the target, then this is obviously not a commission because of the need for interests.

So what is the purpose of the other party?

After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't figure it out, so Catarina had to give up her guess. There are all kinds of strange guests who come here to place commissions, and the League of Assassins is only responsible for intermediaries, not others.

She quickly handed over the power of attorney to Lille: "Put the commission out, A-level tasks, and complete them within a time limit." ”

Then she pouted: "Twenty thousand Jinvet, there will be a lot of people crazy about it, and the guests are really generous." ”

As long as such a business was taken, the Assassin League would have two thousand Jinvit in its account. If an Assassin completes a mission, the League of Assassins will deduct 10% of the commission from the person who completes the mission*, or directly from the delegator if it does not complete it. Either way, the League of Assassins will not trade at a loss. And a business like this, as long as one order a month, is worth two months' income of the Golden Dragon Club.

Of course, there are not many big deals like this, but more often they are ordinary small businesses, which are handled by Catarina's assistant Lille.

Walking out of Catarina's office, Lille made his way to the messaging room. In the past, the Assassin League used more manual communication to deliver messages, but since Huigler learned about distance communication, this technology has gradually become popular, and some powerful organizations have also purchased this communication crystal ball, including the Church of the Scourge and the League of Assassins.

The League of Assassins improved this communication crystal ball to form a complete mission cloth system. As long as you put the news up, there will be news in the other branches. Any Killer Assassin who has registered with the League of Assassins can accept a mission in a branch and return a message after completing the mission.

Since the business is received by the Golden Dragon Club, the determination of the completion of the task and the commission cloth person will be responsible for the Golden Dragon Club.

After entering all the information, Lille walked out of the information room, and a guy approached him.

"Sir, just now someone offered three thousand Jinvit to buy the life of a noble young master, this is a power of attorney. ”

"Oh, what day is it? Business is coming one after another. Taking the power of attorney, Lille took a closer look.

"Assassination Mission, Target: Sisserdar Danelle, heir to the Dardanelles, the identity of the principal is kept secret......"
