Straight Knife

After traveling in secret for half a day, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire finally returned to the palace under the escort of a group of plainclothes entourage.As a court mage, Master Qimu naturally followed His Majesty the Emperor.

Marshal Norton sent off His Majesty personally, and then sat down with Wang Feng.

"His Majesty the Emperor is very happy today." Marshal Norton didn't know where to look, talking to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng nodded and said, "I can see it." Today, when the emperor left, his brisk footsteps surprised those internal officials who had been serving for many years. Although no one said much, Wang Feng definitely saw it from the eyes of those people Saw surprise and others.

Either way, the Emperor's switch of mindset is sure to do Norton a huge benefit.Norton, as the supreme military officer of the Tianlong Empire, no matter what the emperor will do in the future, he will not be missing.Norton understood this, and so did Wang Feng.

Marshal Norton After all, Marshal Norton thought more carefully than anyone else in some places that ordinary people could not think of.Staring at Wang Feng, he said, "What's your purpose in saying that this time?"

Wang Feng said with a smile: "What's the purpose, the emperor asked about it, so he just said it casually."

Shaking his head, Marshal Norton smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't say anything. I need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" Wang Feng also asked with a smile.

"No one in the Imperial Alliance is in charge of the secret bases of the Fengshen Empire. You and your wolf army will go to a field where the fat and water will not flow to outsiders." Maybe when others don't even know what happened, Norton has already put this The side issues have been arranged, and now they are waiting for Wang Feng's opinion.

"The old emperor of the Fengshen Empire is thinking about how to tear me into pieces, the person who stole his son's artifact, and you just let me go there to die." Although Wang Feng didn't say it outright, the reason was real. land.

Without speaking, Norton got up and took two wine glasses from the banquet just now.Passed one to Wang Feng, grabbed a jug from the side, filled it up, drank a few glasses, and then said: "I can't understand you more and more now, your own martial arts are so high. Don’t make a move. Even if you have to make a move, only your own people will know. Originally, if you show your ability, it will never be like this on the mainland.”

Wang Feng also drank the wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am in the original world. Except for my brothers, I don't even know my own people. What's so strange about it. You know me, because you My son is my friend and brother, otherwise you wouldn't even pay attention to me."

Norton refills himself another glass.His Majesty the Emperor was here just now, and he couldn't let go of drinking at all.But today is really happy, there are many things.It was only recently that Norton thought of it. In addition to the dynasty depicted by Wang Feng, the hyperactive Norton didn't drink well at all just now, and now he just makes up for it.

The wine glass was a bit small, so he simply threw it away, hugged the flagon and took a drink. Marshal Norton said to Wang Feng, "I have been studying you for a long time recently." Norton spoke bluntly, and Wang Feng was not angry.

"From you, I found that our Heavenly Dragon Empire used to be too ostentatious in many things. In fact, on the mainland, the Heavenly Dragon Empire has not been established for a long time, and there is no accumulation of the long history of those holy empires." Wealth and hidden strength." Norton looked a little lonely when he said this.Perhaps it was because of the sudden discovery that the formerly weak enemy turned out to be unusually strong, which caused some thoughts.If it weren't for so much wine, Norton might not have said this to anyone at all.

"Take that artifact as an example. The emperor of the Vulcan Empire is generous. Such a coveted artifact will be given to you as soon as you give it away. And he has publicly sent notes to various countries. There is such a thing in the palace treasure house. I don't know why. In the past, we When there was a conflict, they didn't use it at all. Recently, I studied your behavior and finally got a little understanding." Maybe it was drunk, but the words continued.

Wang Feng took his own empty wine glass, reached out and snatched the wine jug from Norton's hand, and filled himself a glass. However, he kept holding it without drinking, and quietly listening to Marshal Norton's words could make an empire's highest military officer With such a high regard for himself, what he has to say will definitely help him.Besides, Norton must have discovered something that no one else knew about.

"I understand now that I can see and touch those well-known masters, as long as I want, I can find their weaknesses and attack them at any time. The same is true for countries. Those holy empires all seem to be weak, but What people don't notice are mostly secrets that cannot be seen through. Maybe it's because they deliberately show weakness, maybe it's because they really don't have smooth internal coordination, so they behave so poorly." After another drink, Marshal Norton On the contrary, his eyes became much brighter.

"During the holy war, they used the name of gods to annex each other. Those famous and famous artifacts must have caught a lot in their country. No matter how bad they are, they will not be like this. Inside the Holy Empire Alliance It's not that monolithic, holding each other back and staring at each other. This is the reason for the real rise of the Imperial Alliance. They want to keep a common enemy, so that there will be no discordant voices inside." Marshal Norton stopped drinking and will The wine glass was thrown aside.

"The dynasty you mentioned, if you want to realize it, you should face all the holy empires. If they are also preserved by you, the empire will not have much chance. The Tianlong Empire is like that famous master, and its weaknesses may be exposed by others. Mastered."

Who could have imagined that Marshal Norton would lower the status of Tianlong Empire so low, and after studying Wang Feng's behavior for a long time.At this time, Marshal Norton was not at all like the high-spirited, confident and proud Marshal Norton that Wang Feng had just met.

Wang Feng knew that Norton might be a little excited after drinking, and his thinking was wrong.Stretching out his hand to grab Marshal Norton's veins, a burst of true energy poured into Marshal's body.After a while, Marshal Norton's face no longer had the drunken Yin Jinghong back to normal.His gaze returned to its usual firmness.

Norton watched Wang Feng pull his arm, and felt a comfortable heat flow from Wang Feng's hand in his body. Where the heat flow passed, his body seemed to have been carefully massaged, and his pores were opened.

Norton clearly remembered what he said just now.With a laugh, Norton stood up and said, "However, no matter how forbearing and powerful these holy empires are. Since the war with the Holy Empire Alliance, the Tianlong Empire has never lost a game on the battlefield below. Even if they deliberately achieve The Heavenly Dragon Empire. So what. Now they must regret their decision, in your words. This is called... ".

"Tigers are a threat!" Wang Feng said.

"Hahahaha!" Marshal Norton laughed and said, "Now we have to see how the Heavenly Dragon Empire became stronger and more invincible. I will turn my previous weakness into a bait for them to fall for." Norton recovered The marshal's momentum was different.Perhaps it is the reason for the attractiveness of the dynasty that Wang Fengkou said.

"Brother Wang Feng, it's time to change your unassuming personality. With the empire behind you and your strength, there are not many people in the entire continent who dare to speak loudly to you."

Wang Feng didn't follow Norton's words at this moment, but just smiled faintly.Said: "Maybe."

"Let's get down to business." Marshal Norton saw that he couldn't influence Wang Feng for a while, so he quickly changed the subject: "The Emperor of the Fengshen Empire was stolen, but judging from their unscrupulous buying of artifacts, they didn't know many imperial secrets. The Fengshen Empire at this time must be the weakest and most empty time. Even with the support of the two major guilds, they may not necessarily know these royal secrets passed down by word of mouth. At this time, we should not seek some benefits from the Fengshen Empire. How can you live up to the opportunity you have waited so easily for?"

Wang Feng still chuckled without expressing anything.

Marshal Norton didn't say much, just said: "When you are free, go to the Royal Auction to talk to the fat old man. He will tell you something. If you don't want to go, I will send another person. This opportunity It's rare, if you don't start early, there may not even be scum."

It was already very late, Linda and the others must have been waiting for a long time.Wang Feng didn't stay long, bid farewell to Marshal Norton, and found Linda and others who had been waiting.Chuck had already arranged a place to live, and several people were sitting there waiting.

I don't know what Wang Feng and the emperor said, but such a long time has made Linda Isa and Hilda very curious.Only Ruohan concentrated on his practice without feeling anything.The two accompanying mages all looked excited. Although they had been there for almost half a day, their spirits were still high.

Norton said that the fat old man had something at that time, but it was getting late today, so he had to wait until tomorrow to visit.

Chuck has obtained the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, as long as Wang Feng is in Tiancheng, Chuck can follow the boss all the time.Early in the morning, Chuck accompanied the boss directly to the auction house.

The Royal Auction House in Tiancheng now knows Wang Feng's name as long as he is an individual.It is difficult for the person who confessed to auctioning the artifact twice to know.

Soon someone brought several people to the VIP box.There is no auction now, and these VIP boxes can just be used for reception.

The fat old man soon appeared, and began to complain when we met: "Captain Wang Feng, you are really causing me trouble! Just a few days after the auction, you took back the artifact again. If this is the case, who would dare to buy the artifact?" buy it"

Wang Feng smiled and said, "Old Fatty, since you say that, then return the artifact to me, and I'll find another auction house."

"Don't, don't!" The fat old man surrendered, commanded his servants to prepare the refreshments, and then said, "Captain Wang Feng, come to me this time, what's your business, is there anything you need to auction?"

Wang Feng was not too polite, and said directly: "Old Fatty, Marshal Norton asked me to come over, saying that you have Qing to tell me."

The fat old man glanced at Chuck.Chuck was upset, and said: "Could it be that my boss will still lie to you." Although it was a reprimand, he also admitted Wang Feng's words in a disguised form.

"In that case, I'll just say it straight." The fat old man said seriously: "The underground adventure guild has put out a mission to buy the lives of all members of the wolf army." After hesitating and weighing, the fat old man continued: "The employer may He is a member of the imperial family of the Fengshen Empire."

Except for Fat Lao, all the people who came in were involved, including Chuck.

Before the others expressed anything, Ruohan had already let out a roar, and lifted his fat body by the chest with his big palm-like hands.The big fist was about to hit the fat old man's head.

"Stop!" At this time, there is no one else who can stop Ruohan except Wang Feng: "It's impolite!"

Reaching out to help the fat old man, Wang Feng pleaded guilty, and then asked: "Fat old man, I don't know what kind of organization this underground adventure guild is?"

The fat old man was not frightened, looked at Wang Feng and asked, "Captain Wang Feng didn't ask about the situation of the members of the wolf army, but asked about the underground adventure guild, doesn't it mean he doesn't care about the safety of the wolf army?"

Wang Feng smiled, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him, and replied to the fat old man: "They want to come to die, just come." Although he said it with a smile, the people he knew around Everyone knows that the boss is angry.

"What kind of organization is this underground adventure guild?" Wang Feng asked now.

Not only Wang Feng, but others are also confused. When will there be an underground adventure guild in addition to the three major guilds on the mainland?

The fat old man didn't procrastinate, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said, "The Underground Adventure Guild is an organization similar to the Adventure Guild. However, the missions issued by this organization are those that cannot be registered with the Adventure Guild." That's all."

Everyone still didn't understand, and they all looked at the fat old man with puzzled faces.Wang Feng had an idea in his mind, but it was not very clear.Hilda asked curiously: "What is the task that cannot be registered in the Adventure Guild?"

At this time, the fat old man showed a little tireless teaching, and said with a smile: "Such as killing people, robbing goods, stealing items, buying opponent information, kidnapping and many other things, there is no way to register with the adventure guild. Or some things, I don't want anyone to know who the employer is , you can also entrust in this guild."

Wang Feng looked at the fat old man, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Fat old man, who are you?"

"Oh. My public identity is the owner of the Imperial Royal Auction House." The fat old man said slowly, stroking his beard.

"What about the undisclosed ones?" Wang Feng asked.

Hehe chuckled a few times.The fat old man said leisurely: "For now, I am still the contact person of the underground adventurer's guild in Tiancheng. I am responsible for accepting commissions and issuing tasks."

The implication is that the fat old man still has many identities.At least Wang Feng knew that Fat Lao was still An Ye's broker in Tiancheng. In addition, if Wang Feng's guess was correct, at least Fat Lao had deep connections with the Tianlong Empire's military.

"Since the employer doesn't want to be known, how did you, fat old man, know that the employer you commissioned this time is the royal family of the Fengshen Empire?" Facing someone like Fatty who has a lot of secrets in his belly, Wang Feng asked unceremoniously.

The fat old man seemed a little dumbfounded at this time.He smiled and said: "The entrustment came from the branch of the Fengshen Empire. In terms of time, it was probably the time when His Royal Highness the prince of the Fengshen Empire returned to China. If the information I have is correct, no one has been there since the establishment of the Wolf Army." The Fengshen Empire, and the only one related to the Fengshen Empire is His Royal Highness, the buyer of the artifact. Besides, there are not many people who can pay such a high bounty except the royal family. If so, I can’t guess. What else can I do underground? The adventurer's liaison." Side said.He glanced at Wang Feng, obviously dismissing his question. .

"Is there anyone accepting the commission?" Linda interrupted and asked.

"The quest rules of the Underground Adventurer's Guild are different from those of the Adventurer's guild. You need to come here to accept it. As long as the quest is released, no matter who it is. As long as you come back with the quest item, or can prove that the quest was completed by yourself, you can receive the reward. The task has been suspended for almost a month, and the whole world probably already knows about it." The fat old man looked straight at Wang Feng and said, "The reward for this entrustment is so high that it has never been heard before. Some time ago, your brigade was in Together, those people have no chance. Now, it depends on your next step."

Yisha is not afraid of heaven and earth, she took a step forward and asked mischievously: "Then how high is the reward offered by the wolf army this time?"

Chuck was a little curious, and asked with Isa, "Yeah, how tall is it?"

The fat old man stretched out a finger, and said slowly, "Ordinary members of the wolf army get [-] gold coins each. Ruohan has [-] gold coins, that wolf also has [-], and Captain Wang Feng has [-] gold coins."

Hilda counted silently, and said with a smile: "Then the whole wolf army shouldn't be about 700 million gold coins, which is the same as the price of the artifact auction."

Yisha also smiled and said, "The wolf army should be famous in both adventure guilds now. With such a high reward, I don't know if it is the highest reward in the underground adventure guild."

The fat old man smiled contemptuously and said, "It's the highest, it's far behind."

Now even Linda has some doubts.He stepped forward and asked, "Didn't Fatty just say that this entrusted reward is unheard of? Why is it so far away? Whose reward is the highest?"

The fat old man snorted, his face turned pale, and he said proudly: "The reward is relative to the level. With the level of the wolf army's first-level mercenary regiment, this price is already the limit. How dare you expect the highest. The reward in the dark night is less than eleven."

After a slight pause, the fat old man said with some fascination: "If you want to say that the highest reward is offered, it is His Majesty the emperor of the first country."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.Wang Feng might have expected it, but he wasn't surprised at all.Others did not expect that someone would dare to offer a reward for the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor!

Looking at everyone's faces very satisfied, the fat old eyes paused on Wang Feng's face, and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor of any empire, each one billion gold coins. And all other countries The state pays one billion, which should add up to five billion gold coins."

Everyone's jaws dropped, and even Wang Feng was a little dizzy. 50 billion gold coins, what kind of concept is this, to build a country? Assassinate which Emperor His Majesty.

I was just surprised for a while, and then, everyone heard Chuck's very upset voice: "Why is my identity only [-], but Ruohan has [-]?" times, which made Chuck very unconvinced.

As soon as Chuck's words came out, it immediately aroused the sympathy of several female generals around, and the three pairs of beautiful eyes immediately focused on Ruohan.Even if Ruohan was born with the courage of a berserker, he couldn't help shrinking back two steps.

Fatty stood aside, nodding secretly again.These young men in the wolf army, when they heard that they were offered a reward, none of them showed a panicked expression. Instead, they all used their own worth as a joke.It seems that following Wang Feng, they are not deserted.

Wang Feng was also thinking secretly.This underground adventure guild blatantly issued a commission to offer a reward to the emperor. With Fat Lao, the insider of the Tianlong Empire's military, clearly aware of it, he didn't have any opinions and indulged silently. He didn't know what the Tianlong Empire had to do with this underground adventure guild.Or maybe all the empires have something inside, otherwise, those empires have never seen them raise any objections.

The organization is similar to the underworld in the past.Controlled by one or several large gangs.Do things in private that cannot be put on the table.

Ignoring their teasing, Wang Feng asked the fat old man alone: ​​"Fat old man, according to you, An Ye has also been offered a reward."

The fat old man looked at Wang Feng with a half-smile, and said, "An Ye was offered a reward two days after the assassination of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Fengshen Empire. However, except for the heavy losses of An Ye's members of the Fengshen Empire, other empires have long heard about it. This commission was also proposed by the royal family of the Fengshen Empire. Although An Ye is the leader of the underground world, it cannot violate the rules of the underground world. Since someone has offered a reward, there will naturally be organizations that are not willing to give up. "

These words have more or less pointed out An Ye's status in the underground world and the situation before her.Wang Feng naturally understood.

Seeing that Chuck was still arguing with other people, the fat old man asked in a low voice: "Captain Wang Feng, although you can be with the big team of the wolf army, but Master Chuck and Miss Aisha can do this when they step forward." One point. Although Tiancheng is safe, it cannot be guaranteed in case of loss. Moreover, even if the wolf army is always together, it will inevitably be slowly eroded by the secret enemy. You have to have a countermeasure!"

Although these words clearly expressed concern for Chuck and Aisha, the following words also pointed out the threats that the Wolf Army might encounter in the future.After all, under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, and no one can guarantee absolute safety.

Nodding his head, Wang Feng asked: "Then is there any way to make the people in the underground world no longer stare at the wolf army?" This Wang Feng really asked Fat Lao sincerely.

The fat old man stroked his beard, twisted and said, "There are two ways."

The people around had heard their conversation, and they all stopped at this moment, listening to what the fat old man could do.

"First!" The fat old man stretched out his right index finger and said slowly: "If the wolf army has a power that cannot be underestimated like any empire, just like the kings of various countries, naturally no one would dare to seek unhappiness."

Having said this, it means not saying it, Wang Feng stared at the fat old man and asked: "What is the second method?"

"Second!" The fat old man stretched out two fingers, and his words became more solemn: "If the employer revokes the entrustment, or the employer cannot pay the promised bounty, once the underground adventure guild finds out, it will naturally regard the entrustment as annulled. It can be done that way.”

At this time, Wang Feng understood, and asked loudly: "That is to say, if the employer dies, then the entrustment will automatically come into effect, right?"
