Just as Xue Hua was leaving the city, in the gray streets of Lu Gaoyin's outer city, a man wrapped in a pure black robe but wearing a strange pale white mask walked into the dark place behind a bar.
Alley.
In the deepest shadow of the alley, in a dark corner where even the harsh noon sun in the desert cannot shine, a short and dilapidated cabin that seemed to be about to collapse at any time stood quietly there.
The man in black robe hesitated for a moment, then turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one had noticed him, he quickly got into the alley and walked quickly to the door of the wooden house.
And the moment he stood at the door, a shadow emerged from behind him, and a pure black fist sword with a strange dark dye on the blade was handed out from the shadow and pressed straight against the back of the black-robed man's neck.
superior.
"Who and what?"
A gloomy and concise questioning voice came from the shadows. The coolness on the blade and the indifference in the questioner's tone made the man in black robe uncontrollably shed a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.
He had no doubt that if there was even a slight question in his answer, the fist sword would cut his neck without hesitation.
The kind with the skin and bones attached.
So he quickly raised his black-gloved hands to show that he meant no harm.
However, this action did not waver the deadly blade in any way.
"Looking for someone to do something."
The black robe man quickly opened his mouth to explain, because he felt that the fist sword was slowly pressing into his cloak.
"Proof, price." Shadow spoke again, but the sword in his hand relaxed a little.
"Here." Hei Pao Ke spoke concisely and concisely. At the same time, he shook his right hand and a gray cloth bag appeared in his palm.
The shadow stretched out a hand to take the bag, and then remained silent for a while, seemingly checking the contents of the bag.
After about two or three minutes, the gloomy voice came again.
"Six days, here...are you alive?"
The shadow seemed to have some doubts, and finally asked another question.
"Alive." The black-robed man's determined voice came from under the mask.
"Not enough." The shadow said, once again extending a hand to the man in black robe.
The man in black robe hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to make up his mind. He shook his right hand again, and another bag appeared in his hand.
Shadow quickly took the bag and checked it, then retracted his fist and sword with satisfaction and said at the same time.
"Six days, here."
When the man in black robe heard this, he let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he waited for a while, but didn't feel any movement.
Only then did he turn around, only to see that there was only silence around him, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
The man in black robe hesitated in place for a while, then quickly left the alley and ran to a sunny place outside the gray street. He looked like a survivor who had just escaped from the ritual room of a hell cultist.
Breathing heavily.
He gasped for a long time before he stood up straight and pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a pale and gloomy female face with a morbid beauty and long gray hair slightly exposed on her forehead.
If Xue Hua comes here again, he will definitely recognize this woman.
It was the level 63 female necromancer - Badi - who she dueled with Xue Hua in the palace, and ultimately lost the foundation of her life due to greed.
Of course, her previous request for leave from the palace steward because she wanted to rest for a few days was just a pretense.
In fact, the real purpose of her taking leave was to come here to meet someone in Gray Street and hire him to do something for her.
This guy is a well-known killer in the underground world of Lu Gaoyin. Legend has it that he is an evil contract assassin with a level as high as 86. Even in that mysterious underground world, he is very famous.
But this kind of "fame" only spreads within a small area, and there are even fewer people who can find him and hire him to complete the task.
In order to see her, Buddy paid a considerable price, and in order to ask him to take action, she almost spent all the money she had accumulated over the years.
All this is just to get back the "treasure" that she thinks should belong to her.
And snatch the so-called "treasure of the same origin" from Xue Hua.
She is a professional, but now she hires evil contractors to do things for her. If this kind of thing spreads, not to mention the palace guards, the entire Lu Gaoyin will have no place for her...
Therefore, she kept the matter extremely secret and did not dare to disclose it to anyone.
But she didn't know that the treasure she wanted to recapture was not the treasure she imagined at all. The appearance of the gem and its ability to mutate the skills of professionals were actually just the illusion shown on its display.
The reason why the gem can stimulate the skill variation of professionals is because the creature or group that created the gem uses a very secret overdraft technology. This technology will overdraft the user's life potential and lifespan in exchange for the user's
Enhancement of psychic perception.
Buddy is now level 63.
Logically speaking, her life span is at least hundreds of years.
Moreover, she became famous relatively early. At just over 200 years old, she has reached her current level.
Her professional level limit is also quite high, reaching level 91.
Under such conditions, it stands to reason that her appearance should not be what it is now.
Withered and pale hair and sickly appearance, her current age should be 600 years old according to professional calculations, not 300 years old. However, the professional characteristics of the Necromancer concealed the importance she and others paid to this issue.
——After almost all necromancers reach a high level, their body and facial features will change to some extent due to their long-term dealings with corpses and undead.
However, if she could check her lifespan, she would be horrified to find that her remaining lifespan has been reduced to less than a hundred years without her realizing it.
However, she didn't know all this. Now she only wanted to get back her "treasure" wholeheartedly and by the way, get the "share" in Xue Hua's hands.
However, when she came back to her senses and remembered that she had just handed over all her family assets to an unknown evil consort, Badi couldn't help but feel regretful.
What if this guy is a liar?
What if he takes the money and runs away?
Damn it! How could she be so careless!
Buddy's face turned green and white, and his feet moved slightly, as if he wanted to return to the alley and get his money back.
But the killing intent that she felt from that guy's fist and sword before could almost freeze a person's soul made her stop involuntarily.
She didn't dare to go...
Yes, she is indeed a high-level necromancer with 6 mutant skills, but the guy inside is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Moreover, although his level was just a rumor, it was indeed much higher than hers, because she could not see this guy's level at all.
The most important thing is, even if the guy is really so reasonable and even allows her to take the money back and terminate the mission...
What will she do after she gets the money back?
Will you spend your whole life in Lu Gaoyin guarding these useless gems?
Just like those losers, just like Liu Zhen who had always been the object of her sympathy before?
Thinking of this consequence, Buddy couldn't help but tremble all over.
She would never allow the rest of her life to be spent like this.
no way!
So, she gritted her teeth and tried not to think about the possibility that the guy was a liar. Instead, she turned her attention to imagining how she would treat the damn little bastard well when the assassin caught him in front of her.
"The only way to get him to hand over the things obediently is to go up.
