Chapter 178 Recruiting security, recruiting even bird security!
Lin Xiao clicked on the light screen to display a new email.
The sender is an unknown account named "'Anna, the Archon of Qianfuyu City'".
Thousand Winters City is the capital of the North Kingdom, a city completely different from Star Map City. If this place is compared to a glorious nebula image, Thousand Winters City symbolizes the cold frozen world.
Compared with the Free Federation, which has a more stable environment, the Severnaya Zemlya not only has to endure the test of severe cold, but also has to face threats from monsters in the deep sea at all times.
Therefore, the characteristics of card masters in the two countries are completely different:
Most card masters in the Federation believe in the silver dragon Khaos, who represents "nothingness" and "carpe diem";
The card master in the north is deeply fascinated by the cruel and tender blue dragon Indra, who symbolizes the anger and grace of "nature".
Lin Xiao browsed the email and learned that Queen Augustus of the North Country had accepted a virtual duel with him.
The time is scheduled for Sunday, two days later, when the showdown will be made public to the world.
After the duel, Augustus would ask about topics related to the [Sanctuary], and the other party hoped that Lin Xiao would not avoid it.
"You sound like you have a sure chance of winning..." Lin Xiao rubbed his chin.
He knew that the people of the Northern Kingdom had an almost religious fanaticism for 'Emperor Augustus'. But this fanaticism was not the worship of 'invincible', but more impressed by Augustus's personality charm.
Take the officers of the Northland Fleet as an example. They know that their leaders sometimes encounter difficult monsters and sometimes lose.
For example, two years ago, Emperor Augustus had a duel with Tianshi Jiang Shang of Central Continent, which ended in Augustus' defeat.
But she won back in the duel the following year. Therefore, Augustus is not only the pinnacle of strength in the North Kingdom, but also a symbol of the spiritual symbol of "indomitable".
It is interesting to mention Jiang Shang Tianshi. He represents the Taoism of Central Continent and is regarded as the most powerful person and the 'Sword Immortal' of Central Continent. However, he rarely interferes in secular affairs and is busy cultivating immortals and traveling around the mountains and rivers. Therefore, most of the affairs of Central Continent are handled by [Zhongzhou Ka
Teachers Association] and [Zhongzhou Investigation Team Headquarters] management.
Most people in Central Continent believe in Zhulong, the ‘Lord of Spirit and Materiality’.
Concepts such as "unity of knowledge and action" and "harmony of yin and yang" give Zhongzhou card masters a unique concept of balance.
Lin Xiao felt that since he was about to be assigned to another country, he should have a general understanding of the concepts of each country.
Moreover, since the Federation has the ‘Resurrection of the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Gods’ and the Northland has the ‘Deep Sea Monster Rebellion’, I am afraid that other countries will not be much better...
"There are still two days left for the showdown with Queen Augustus on Sunday to reveal the identity of the epee man."
Lin Xiao planned an action in her heart:
"In order to win 100%, you can temporarily hold the Buddha's feet...for example, kill another demon or something."
Because the demon god was weakened by the laws of this world, the strongest Lucifer could only reach the eighth level realm.
I have obtained the power of four demon gods... I still have a certain degree of confidence when meeting the remaining three demon gods.
In the early morning, Lin Xiao was rubbing Dafu's belly indoors, lost in thought.
I still don’t know the specific abilities of the two demon gods ‘Greed’ and ‘Jealousy’.
But you can know that the Sloth Demon God's "range deceleration" ability is really useful.
If you can get the full version of "The Power of Sloth"
When facing the spear thrown by Augustus, a large-scale deceleration area will definitely be able to gain a greater advantage.
"But the Demon God of Sloth is probably too lazy to do anything."
Lin Xiao ‘tonton’ patted Dafu lying on his back and said thoughtfully:
"This is a good thing, at least the threat will not be as big as Lucifer..."
…
…
In the city of Sinton, the Leviatanya Tower towers into the sky.
Dr. Birdbill opened the door of the conference room, and the breath of different sources of power came to him, and several eyes stared at him.
The bird-beaked doctor under the gas mask made his rounds calmly: sitting in the chair was Mr. Roman's personal friend, Mr. Kane, the chairman of Leviatanya.
The others were seated, two men and one woman.
"According to the rules...he should be fined, right?"
The man dressed as a cowboy put his legs on the table, leaned back and hung his left arm on the back of the chair, tossed a silver coin with a head in his right hand, and said with a smile:
"How about we split it evenly!"
Everyone ignored the cowboy's joke. The muscular middle-aged man in overalls pushed up the frame of his glasses and glanced at the bird-beaked doctor with disdain;
The girl holding the Barbie doll nodded to the beak doctor, with a disturbing smile on her delicate doll-like cheeks.
Kane crossed his fingers, watched Doctor Beak take his seat, and slowly said:
"Due to physical reasons, Mr. Roman cannot appear in the near future, so I will deliver his executive order."
Although everyone had different tempers, they all maintained respect for Roman and acted as if they were all ears. After the diplomatic rhetoric, Kane gradually got to the point and his tone became cold:
"To sum up, from the perspective of national defense and security, it is necessary for us to clear out the unstable elements in our territory... However, in order to avoid causing large-scale panic among the masses, we specially invite you to come and entrust this important task."
He pressed down the projection, and the portraits of 'Lin Xiao' and 'Epee Man' appeared on the screen, and the personal information next to them was as clear as a wanted criminal.
There was a dark green snake-like luster hidden in Kane's eyes, and his glasses covered it up perfectly. He said in a deep voice:
"This is the beheading target of this mission."
When he saw the mission target, the pupils under the beak doctor's mask shrank, his back became sweaty, but his straight body did not sway at all.
"What kind of national defense mission is it? It's just assassination!" The cowboy leaned back to play with the coins and said with a smile.
"Hey, so this is what a heavy swordsman looks like." The doll girl held her chin, showing a nymphomaniac face, "He looks so handsome..."
"Mr. Roman will not focus on a little kid, let alone carry out boring assassination operations."
The sturdy man codenamed "Congressman" adjusted his glasses and said coldly:
"You won't fabricate fake administrative orders, Mr. Kane."
"He is not a little kid." Kane said, "He won the Starry Sky Cup championship, killed the sea monster, and worked with the doctor to defeat the Gluttony Demon... Allowing him to act in the federation is like letting a monster out of the cage.
, the best way is not to anesthetize or release animals, let alone to recruit people to be safe, but..."
With an easygoing smile, Kane seemed to hear the whale call of an ancient creature in his ears, and he moved his lips and said: "Kill him."
Doctor Bird's Beak was filled with turmoil, and he felt it was unbelievable.
Kill him? Recruit level 6 or above card masters to assassinate the epee man? What a joke!
That person can summon meteorites at will, defeat the existence of the Demon of Gluttony head-on, and assassinate him, it is like letting a child hold an AK to engage in a firefight with the Navy SEALs!
He forcibly suppressed the idea of refuting, wanting to hear other people's opinions, when the cowboy said lazily:
"How did I hear that the ace sniper 'Viper' failed in his operation and was even released by the heavy swordsman?"
"That's great!" The doll girl said excitedly with admiration in her eyes: "Return kindness for evil, a hero in the darkness!"
The sturdy congressman frowned and looked at Kane with fear and suspicion.
"It is indeed true." Kane said calmly, "But this failure further proves the threat of the heavy sword man. If he reaches the seventh level peak, it will be enough to shake Mr. Roman's position and plunge the country into chaos."
A cold light flashed across his eyes: "I think that both I, Mr. Roman, and everyone here hate uncontrollable risks. Because maintaining stability is always more difficult and more important than expansion."
Everyone had their own thoughts, and the room fell into a brief silence. Excluding other things, Kane provided a very high reward for this operation, which was enough to make a card master of level six or above be excited.
"Can't you communicate with the heavy sword man?" Doctor Bird's Beak broke the dead silence in the room, "Isn't it more satisfying for everyone to try to get the heavy sword man to join Mr. Roman's command than assassination?"
The cowboy sneered: "It's too late! The moment we sent Viper out, the gap was already drawn. Mr. Roman couldn't do it himself, so he came to us mercenaries!"
Doctor Bird's Beak was silent. He couldn't imagine that one day he would be forced to stand opposite Mr. Lin Xiao.
What's more, his philosophy is to save lives and heal the wounded, not despicable assassination work...
"But but..." the doll girl held her chin in her hands, tilted her head and asked: "If the epee man has reached the seventh level of peak, then aren't we going to die?"
Kane explained calmly:
"Even at the peak of the seventh level, the card master's source power is closely related to the character of the mind. And with the fluctuation of the mood, the card master's state rises and falls, and sometimes there is even a lack of source power and the inability to control the trump card."
"So, the first step you have to do is to interfere with the epee man's mind and make him waver in his ideas and doubt the nature of his fire." Kane said.
Everyone's eyes flickered, and they all looked down at the fire in their palms, and heard Kane saying quietly:
"When a card master has doubts about the fire, his demise is not far away."
"Wonderful remarks!" The congressman clapped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Then, how do you make him doubt himself?"
The congressman looked at the wanted portrait on the big screen and said in a deep voice:
"The higher the level of the card master, the more determined the character is. And that is the hero who saves the city but refuses to bow his head and does whatever he wants..."
Kane was not afraid that Lin Xiao would occupy a high position after joining the Federation, but he was afraid that he would not accept the recruitment and do whatever he wanted.
And judging from the state shown by the heavy sword man, don't even think about recruiting security, so just open fire.
"Cut off his arms and cut off his will."
Kane swiped the screen, and messages from Margaret, Chu Yun, Sigrid, Jolina and others appeared on the projection, and he said coldly:
"When a strong man cannot even protect the people around him, then he will naturally be shaken."
The first step in the assassination plan is to kill the heavy sword man's friends and cut their feathers. Then, when the heavy sword man falters, he will be attacked again.
Niu looked at it carefully and exclaimed: "Holy crap! Why is there even the leader of the investigation team!"
When he had no money to pick up girls in the Golden State, the cowboy once went to work in the Golden State's investigation team, where he heard about Margaret's deeds. It is said that she repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the demon incident, and was promoted to great heights, and she was jealous of her.
There are not a few people.
"Just telling you, Margaret may be protecting him."
Kane sighed: "She is the unified dispatcher of the nine federal state investigation teams... Don't really take action against her, just pay more attention to her."
"I understand, it turns out that the epee man was kept by her..." the cowboy clicked his tongue in surprise.
Dr. Bird's Beak secretly said that Margaret was promoted so quickly because of Mr. Lin Xiao's outstanding performance in the demon incident. The latter is the real boss.
"Those eyes are so beautiful, like rubies..."
The doll girl looked at Jolina with fascination and said blankly: "I really want to make her into a Barbie doll."
The congressman crossed his thick arms and looked at the screen, his eyes fierce, and he said dullly:
"I confirm again, is it really Mr. Roman's administrative order? You should know the consequences of forging an order, Kane."
Kane thought...Mr. Roman is about to become the first person in history to master the power of the devil.
And I helped him achieve this achievement. Even if he forged orders, it was for the sake of the overall situation.
Kane was completely unaware of the strong jealousy in his heart and said with a smile: "Of course."
"Humph, when will we take action?"
"Tomorrow night, Star Map City."
The meeting lasted for nearly an hour before it came to an end.
Doctor Beak left the conference room anxiously, recalling the scene in the black pool, and secretly made up his mind.
Sorry, Mr. Roman.
I must inform Mr. Lin Xiao...!
…
…
A hazy blue mist floated inside the cave, and water lilies spread their petals in the pool.
In the center of the lotus lies a hand-sized Belphegor, lazily stretching his waist, squinting and yawning:
"Hey...why are you here again, Mammon."
Mammon stood on the shore and asked coldly: "How long have you slept?"
Belphegor transformed into a royal lady and landed on the throne. She crossed her slender legs and the black stockings stretched out on her thighs to create a sweet texture.
"Well... I've been sleeping since you left. Oh... I can't remember clearly." Belphegor said lazily.
"Do you know that that human being has contracted with the four sinful demon gods of arrogance, rage, gluttony, and lust?" Mammon reported slowly.
"Yeah!" Belphegor was surprised that he had already signed so many contracts, and his tone became faster, "How are Asmodeus and the others doing?"
Mammon hesitated and said: "Based on human standards... there are no worries and no pain in the winery... indeed, it can be considered a good life."
Belphegor:(???)?
Mammon: "What's that expression on your face?"
"I also want to have no worries and no pain." Belphegor said matter-of-factly, "Since you all live in the human world, I'm not the only one left."
Although life in the cave allows one to sleep all the time, it really lacks some variety.
Belphegor wants to be lazy in a fancy way: having clothes on hand and food to eat is only secondary.
Enjoying comfort and enjoyment with food, games, air conditioning, etc. is her goal and the source of her 'power of laziness'.
"Then you can go directly to Lin Xiao and see if he will give you a chance to make a contract." Mamen said coldly.
"Ah...it's too troublesome to go out..."
Belphegor was like a cat rubbing its face with its paws. He woke up for a moment and asked lazily:
"Why did you come to see me?"
Mammon adjusted her mood, sighed softly, and said calmly:
"I want to ask you a favor."
Belphegor was slightly surprised...Transactions between demons require equal exchange.
The stingy and greedy demon was willing to let her help, which was rare in thousands of years.
"What's the business?" Belphegor couldn't hide his curiosity.
"Go to the eastern city of mankind, Star Map City." Mammon said.
"Ah... it's so far away, why are you going there?" Belphegor blinked.
The only way to get Belphegor to go out on his own initiative is to ask her, otherwise she might sleep until the end of the world.
Let her go to Star Map City and let Lin Xiao take this opportunity to make a contract with her. This is just one of them.
And Mammon’s selfishness...
The petite red-haired woman was wearing a white shirt, black suit trousers, and a straight tie. Her golden eyes seemed to be shining with treasures, revealing truly precious things.
"Look after my subordinates," Margaret said.
Many signs have shown that Roman and his forces will take action against Lin Xiao and others under his command.
Margaret did not want to come into contact with Lin Xiao prematurely, so she handed over the job of taking care of Chu Yun and others to another demon.
It's ridiculous to say that I actually care about human beings who are like puppets.
Margaret's eyes were filled with golden flames, and the corners of her mouth curved.
Maybe it's because I picked Lin Xiao and them and promised them to board my [Ark].
