Linton acted resolutely and set off as soon as he was told. However, Dane didn't say anything and just followed Linton. Of course, before leaving, Linton also specifically asked the traveler to watch out for Gasse this time.
Well, if something happens again, he will really tear the tailed beast apart with his own hands.
"Sword Master, don't worry so much. My people have been secretly protecting the Duke since a few days ago." Dane here said.
"You? Secretly protecting me?" Linton smiled, "Aren't you assassins?"
"Because of this, we know better how the assassins will carry out their actions." Dane said, "Judging from the situation in the past few days, the other party does not seem to have the intention to continue to carry out attacks. They should also know that if they fail once, your lord,
You will know about this matter, and it is estimated that it will be impossible to succeed again. The Duke should be very safe at the moment."
"So what you mean is that if the murderer is you, you can definitely strike for the second time in the past few days, so it's not you, right?" Linton said.
"Master Juggernaut, please believe me, we really want to know who the person who framed us is." Dane said, "Maybe even more urgently than you are. We really want to cooperate."
"Besides this, do you have nothing else you want?" Linton asked, "If what you say is true, I believe you also want to find the person who framed you, but there is no need to deliberately show favor to me.
Bar."
"Sir, you are joking." Dane said, "The Continental Congress in a few days, although it seems to be a conspiracy against you by the Holy Association, I am more optimistic about your side. In my opinion
, the people of the Holy Association are probably digging their own graves."
"So you think the Continental Congress would give me higher power than I currently have, right?" Linton said.
"I think you may become the king of the continent, so I'm placing a bet." Dane said with a smile.
"I have to say that you are really good at being a good person." Linton said with a smile. Dane said his purpose without any scruples. The reason is very simple. Showing kindness to others without purpose will make people look at you.
What's even more suspicious is that Dane took the initiative to reveal his purpose just because he knew this, so this guy is really smart.
"I heard that your Black Hand Guild is now wanted across the continent?" Linton asked.
Dane's body seemed to be shaken, and then he continued: "I think this is very unreasonable, don't you? Your Excellency?"
"Then have you received the mission to assassinate me?" Linton asked.
"..." Dane hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I received it a few months ago, but it was not handled by me."
"It seems that I really have a lot of enemies. Someone was arranging to assassinate me a few months ago." Linton said, "What happens next?"
"The mission has been cancelled, because your status has improved very quickly, and the difficulty of the mission has also risen sharply. We will not do a loss-making business. With your current status, not many people in the entire continent can afford to buy your life."
." Dane said.
"Then if someone really buys it, will you accept it?" Linton asked with a smile.
"..." Dane was suddenly shocked and did not answer immediately.
"I probably understand why you took the initiative to come to me." Linton said with a smile, "An organization that claims to be able to assassinate everyone has encountered a target that is really impossible to assassinate. It seems that you are indeed in trouble.
, you took the initiative to come out with me because you want to see if I am as strong as the rumors say, right? But you have to understand one thing, I am not a very easy-to-talk person. I dare to ask them to give me to the Saint-Level Association.
I kneel down, don’t say it’s you. It doesn’t matter, I’ll give you some time to think about it, and get to work first.”
Dane was very smart and already understood what Linton meant. Without saying anything, he led Linton to the teleportation array. Their destination was a city called Zahantia. This was another
Linton had never been to this city, and had never even heard of it before. However, after coming here, he discovered that this was not a very big city, nor did it appear to be a prosperous city.
"This is the eastern part of the Tomlian Empire." Dane probably noticed Linton looking around and guessed that he didn't know the situation, so he took the initiative to introduce him, "A little further east here is the Great Dark Forest.
, is also a gathering place for monsters. It was here that Pylos, the previous emperor of the Tomlian Empire, brought back a Pan Peng Yanhu and named it Banshik."
"That means the forest to the east is the kitten's hometown?" Linton nodded, "This guy just escaped back to his hometown?"
"After all, the capital of the Tomlian Empire has been destroyed by you, and there are not many places that the other party can go to." Dane said, "Our people have investigated its whereabouts and have indeed entered the Great Darkness next to it.
In the forest.”
As Dane spoke, he waved to the side. Linton saw a figure suddenly fall from the roof next to him and come to Dane's side. This was another man wearing a black robe, almost covering himself tightly.
, but his robe didn't seem to have the same special hiding ability as Dane's robe. Linton could see the other person's face, that he was a middle-aged man.
"Chief, the tiger entered the forest five days ago. It should be moving in the northeast of the forest now. Our people can't get close." Menhui reported.
"Why can't you get closer?" Dane asked.
"Leader, he is staying with two other level nine monsters." The man replied.
"What?" Dane was stunned for a moment, "Two other level nine monsters?"
"Yes, leader, a Taipan python and a Fenrir wolf. According to the intelligence, these two are the masters of the forest in the Great Dark Forest. They were supposed to be in an antagonistic relationship. I don't know why these three are now in conflict.
Only a level nine monster got involved." Menhui reported.
"Strange..." Dane was also a little confused, "High-level monsters should have their own territory. Once other monsters enter their territory, there will definitely be a fight. You said they stay together all day? That didn't happen.
fighting?"
"Yes, chief, there was no battle." The man nodded.
"Didn't you investigate what happened to such a strange situation?" Dane asked unhappily.
"I'm... I'm very sorry, Sir." The man lowered his head and trembled, looking very panicked.
"Oh? Are you the one who arranged these three level nine monsters for me?" Linton asked with a smile.
"Sir Sword Master, I just learned about this, please believe me." Dane said immediately.
"Hahaha, it seems that I really scared you." Linton said with a smile, "It was really arranged by you. You can at least bring me to those three level nine monsters first before you let me know.
If you tell me now, I'll just say it casually, so there's no need to panic."
Dane was stunned for a moment. What Linton said was true, but he was too naughty. It was okay to scare him specifically.
"Let's go. It seems that this kitten has found two helpers. It seems that it is really afraid of me to death. But again, if you offend me, even asking the gods to come down will not protect you." Linton said.
"Three level nine monsters still need to be planned." Dane thought for a while and said. He thought there was only one level nine monster before, so of course he was not very worried. After all, although the frontal strength of the ninth-level monster is greater than that of the saint,
, he is not very afraid, and he doesn't think there is any problem if he fights one on one, but it is different if there are three of them.
"Lead the way." Linton ignored Dane's words and said with a wave of his hand.
The man here looked at Dane next to him. Dane thought for a while and nodded. The man didn't say anything, he stood up and started to lead the way for the two of them.
The group of people quickly left the city and headed east. Sure enough, very quickly, they entered the forest area. The front looked like a huge tropical forest, with tall plants all over the mountains and plains. These were things they had never seen before.
The huge plants could be said to block out the sky and the sun. Although it was daytime, they could not feel much sunlight when they walked into the forest. Not much light could penetrate the tall canopy.
Near the edge of the city, the monsters that appeared were not very strong. Linton and the others had never encountered any monsters. The reason was very simple. After Linton came in, he found that many figures were already moving around them. It should be
It's Dane's men who are responsible for tracking down Banshik. They should have been active in the forest recently. Maybe they received some signal, and now they have come to join together. They didn't show up directly, but were helping along the way.
Clear out the monsters along the way.
"Starting from here, the front area is the activity area of the three level nine monsters." After walking for a while, the middle-aged man who had been following said, "Please wait a moment, leader, we will find their current location immediately.
There will be news."
"I'll only wait ten minutes." Dane nodded and said.
"Yes, Sir Chief." The man nodded.
"Don't wait, we've found it." Linton said suddenly.
"Huh?" Both of them were stunned, found it? How did they find it? The ninth-level monsters did not dare to enter their territory casually, otherwise they would be in danger, so they never dared to get close to investigate.
The opponent's position can only be known in the approximate area of activity. When I said I found it before, I had to use my life to detect it. How did Linton lock the opponent's position?
Linton naturally found it directly with Kagura's inner eye. He was so close, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he discovered the location of the chakra that Matata mentioned before. However, Linton had no intention of explaining it, so he directly
Waving his hand, a portal opened in front of him. Through the portal, Linton saw Banshik appearing in front of him.
