Bennett's face was ferocious, and the excruciating pain made him almost faint.
He is the young master of a powerful family in the Bright Empire, and he belongs to the flower in the greenhouse.
Those high levels were built with a lot of resources, not to mention their superficial cultivation, and they had never experienced a life-and-death struggle.
Even in decades of career, hand injuries are very rare.
Therefore, after being stabbed with a sword, Bennett almost lost his fighting ability.
If it were Chris, he would have been injured and fought back long ago.
Bennett's eyes were bloodshot: "Just wait, my father will not let you go!"
"Pah!" Chris didn't care about the threat and slapped him directly.
Bennett's head tilted as he was slapped, and the sweet smell of blood appeared in his mouth. Blood mixed with saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.
"Since your family didn't teach you how to be a good person, then let me educate you!" Chris punched Bennett on the chin again.
At this moment, the eighth-level knight lost the ability to resist, with a look of humiliation on his face.
Chris grabbed Bennett by the collar, threw him to the ground, and put his foot on his chest, making him unable to move.
"Boy, you are looking for death!" Bennett still said harshly.
A joking smile appeared on Chris's lips: "It seems that you still haven't understood the situation."
He waved his fist and rained down on Bennett's face and body.
"Stop it, stop it." Bennett began to give up, because he found that his threatening words had no effect on the stunned young man in front of him.
If anyone else had learned about Bennett's family background, they would have been polite to him.
But Chris did not do this at all, and even went the other way. The more arrogant he was, the harder he got beaten.
"As long as you don't hit me, I'll give you whatever you want." Bennett's tone turned to pleading, he just wanted to end it all quickly.
"That's what I've been waiting for." Chris chuckled, reaching out and taking out the Guiling Shield from Bennett's arms.
As for the green sword and the vine armor he wore, Chris had no idea at all.
Although the effects of those two artifacts are great and their value must be higher, if they are snatched away by themselves, the family behind Bennett will never give up.
On the other hand, the Guiling Shield was most likely purchased by this young master with the pocket money he had on hand.
Even if it is lost, his family will not care.
Moreover, the injuries on his face and body will be healed by the Green Sword, and nothing will be visible when he returns home.
The risk is much smaller.
After getting the things, Chris released Bennett and said righteously: "Today's duel ends here. I hope you can remember the lesson this time and stop bullying the weak."
After that, he turned around and walked away very gracefully.
Bennett watched Chris's figure go away, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes: "Boy, just wait for me!"
······
Chris returned to Sun Moon City and returned directly to the Holy Knights without going anywhere else.
He was actually a little worried that Bennett would call the elders in the family to cause trouble. Not to mention what level of master the other party's father was, even if he brought in a few ninth-level low-level elders, it would not be easy for Chris to deal with him.
The harvest this time was pretty good. There were still two chances left for the Guiling Shield, but he snatched it away.
Chris also had a trump card to deal with the ninth-level powerhouse. In the past, he would just watch others use magic items while he stared at them from outside.
Now, he has it too.
Chris returned to his room, lay on the bed, took the Guiling Shield in his hand and played with it.
This was his first time coming into contact with magic props. Although there were two magicians, Tina and Linda, at home, he had never seen them make them before.
There is another reason, that is, Chris's improvement speed is too fast, leaving the two of them far behind.
Tina had just been promoted to the sixth level not long ago, and Linda, a lazy girl, was still at the peak of the third level and was working hard to break through to the fourth level.
Even if the two of them made magic props, Chris wouldn't be able to use them.
It's really no different from paper.
Chris held the Guiling Shield in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
The turtle shell is light blue in color, with dark green juice flowing in the shell lines, as if it is trapped inside by some strange energy and cannot come out.
You can feel that there are more than ten miniature magic circles carved inside, which are connected into a whole and complement each other.
If Chris guessed correctly, this turtle shell was probably made from the cub of some powerful turtle monster. If it were sold on the market, it might be worth a lot of money, let alone turning it into a magic prop.
Already.
Unfortunately, carving a magic circle is a time-consuming and laborious task, and Chris doesn't have the time to do it.
Otherwise, even if you make eight out of ten props, your opponent will be killed.
······
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
In the early morning, Jeffrey sent a stack of parchment documents to Powell's office: "Mr. Deputy Commander, this is the information you asked for about Chris."
Powell picked it up and read it carefully.
Jeffrey sat on the sofa opposite, leaning his head and not daring to speak.
This place is too far away from the Blazing Dragon Kingdom, and it is very difficult to find out the information.
However, the Light Church's intelligence network is distributed in various countries. Although it takes a little more effort, it can still be found.
More than ten minutes later, Powell finished reading the information and looked surprised: "This little guy named Chris is really a genius. In just two years, he has developed from a country baron who has not awakened his fighting spirit to what he is now.
The leader of a country. It is hard to imagine what heights he will reach if given a few more years."
Jeffrey echoed: "Yeah, he's growing up so fast."
"The information shows that he once fought against an association of black magicians and won. Later, he had a conflict with the Black Dragon Palace because of the Eagle Kingdom." Powell thought, "This means that Chris is a
Someone worthy of trust.”
Due to the secrecy of information, Chris's trip to the snowy mountains, the siege of Mist City, and the war with the ninth-level black dragon are not known to outsiders.
But just what he revealed on the surface was enough to push him to the opposite side of the Black Dragon Palace.
Powell frowned and said: "What makes me confused is that the Black Dragon Palace suffered such a big loss regarding the Eagle Kingdom. Why didn't it bother Chris later?"
Jeffrey thought for a while and said: "The northwest of the mainland is too remote and the journey is long. Even the eighth and ninth level experts will take several days to arrive. If you send experts there, what if you are intercepted by the two empires or our church along the way?
Killing them in the middle is not worth the gain. There is no need for the Black Dragon Palace to lose strong men in the organization just because of a fight in a remote place. Therefore, it is in its own interests to only send some sixth- and seventh-level shrimps there."
