Lord of Secrets

The middle-aged man is dead!

Horus's tense spirit immediately relaxed, and he also relieved himself from the deep state of "guarding the grave".

This state is not easy to bear, and even his thinking slowed down, like a puppet in the dark land of the dead, with eyes open for thousands of years. There is no concept of time, only desolation.

What's more, this is also constantly squandering spirituality.

But before he could completely relax, a dagger instantly stabbed into his abdomen, crushing his intestines and liver... blood dripping...

Isn't he dead... Horus looked at the middle-aged man in shock.

At this moment, the blood groove on the middle-aged man's neck has disappeared, and the place that was originally deep enough to see the bone has recovered.

——As if nothing had happened.

...

The middle-aged man is not dead!

His previous horrified expression was just acting.

Just like a taut spring, once it relaxes, it is difficult to re-enter that state in an instant, and Horus has lost his chance.

To reverse the situation, only one ability is needed.

——"Sophistry".

This is the ability of the 9th position "lawyer". They are not lawyers who defend justice, but slaves raised by money, power, etc. They exist only to help the powerful escape from punishment.

This is "sophistry", finding loopholes in the law and evidence, distorting the facts, and reversing the defeat, so that the powerful can escape the punishment of the law.

——In other words, the ability of "sophistry" is to escape from punishment and eliminate a fatal injury.

Therefore, the middle-aged man survived.

…

Horus did not use "tomb guarding", not because he did not want to use it, but because… his spiritual power has been consumed. If it is just to hide the breath, the consumption is not so great.

…

For the middle-aged man, he has experienced this level countless times, but in the end he survived, relying on this ability.

But before he was excited about completing the commission, a black light mixed with a faint crimson flashed, and instantly smashed his head.

It was a black cane with red lines.

Red and white pulp splashed and fell on Horus.

But at this moment, Horus's eyes were not on himself, the middle-aged man, or even the cane, but... behind the middle-aged man.

——Bailkro, a detective.

Now, Horus finally breathed a sigh of relief. He endured the severe pain and quickly moved his body to lie down beside the bed. Horus's injuries were very serious, but he only needed to sleep for a while and he would be almost recovered.

"You are really careless."

Bailkro said unceremoniously, and the mixture of blood and pulp on his black cane was absorbed by the red lines.

Horus closed his eyes and waited for a few seconds before saying weakly: "I am a newcomer."

Bailkro said venomously:

"A dead newcomer is still a dead person."

At this time, Baierkro suddenly understood his teacher's feelings. This feeling of teaching others a lesson was really pleasant.

In an instant, Baier Kro suddenly had the idea of ​​accepting students, so he picked up one of the intact chairs, sat on it and said:

"The 8th position is 'Policeman', and the abilities are called 'Hound of the Powerful' and 'Words of Greed'. The former can bind others, and the latter is a contract-like ability. Once you don't bribe him, then you will lose one ability for a short time.

"And his previous position is 'Lawyer', and the name of the ability is 'Sophistry', which can exempt this damage after being hurt."

Hearing this, Horus, who was recovering from his injuries, silently remembered it in his heart. He still had too little experience. The ability of this extraordinary person was really strange.

The end is not necessarily the end. Remember not to ignore this point in the future...

At this time, Baier Kro's somewhat magnetic voice reached Ubemo's ears: "By the way, your 'Grave Guarding' should only work in a certain place, so as to reduce the consumption of spirituality. "

Bailkro existed from the beginning. When he saw Horus exploring the ability of "gravekeeper", he remembered that it seemed to be recorded in a book.

It was just out of some bad taste, and Horus couldn't die for a while, so Baierkro said this.

Horus didn't speak, still closed his eyes, and shifted his attention to his abdomen, trying to completely hide the breath around his abdomen. For people like them, they have naturally come into contact with the breath of the dead, allowing the breath of the dead to erode, causing this part of the flesh and blood tissue to "die".

Unlike ordinary people, the "gravekeeper" is a semi-dead creature, and the death of flesh and blood is not considered a real death, but a transformation into a dead creature's structure.

Flesh and blood rot , yellow pus appeared on it.

Then, the yellow pus gradually disappeared, the rotten flesh and blood turned into intact fresh flesh and blood again, and some organs also recovered.

Baier Kro looked at this scene with some envy.

In the final analysis, this ability cannot restore injuries, but with the help of a strange mechanism, it has created this established fact.

Bar Book 69 New

-That is, the transformation between the dead and the living.

Behind the extreme of "tomb guarding" is the rotten corpse. And the definition of a rotten corpse does not require the corpse to be intact. Both the incomplete rotten corpse and the intact rotten corpse are dead.

It is so unreasonable.

...

But although he recovered, Horus's face was still pale.

"Do you know why he wants to kill me?" Horus opened his eyes and asked.

Although Horus had some guesses, he thought the other party could analyze more information, which he could not do, after all, they were in different professional fields.

Baier Kro raised his right foot and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you are wanted."

Horus did not show any surprise. Except for the low probability of burglary, murder and robbery, it was basically the thing he participated in.

However, it was unexpectedly late.

At this time, Baier Kro looked at the messy house and said: "For someone like you who has been involved in the case, it is not a wise choice to hide here blindly. Attending more extraordinary gatherings can effectively understand what happened in the mysterious world."

Horus listened quietly, he could not refute.

But suddenly, he thought of the two books, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the fallen cabinet, but immediately retracted his gaze.

If Baier Kro saw it, it would be a bit troublesome.

After all, the other party might be able to find some clues from it, pointing to an organization in the northern continent.

Fortunately, the cabinet was locked and not broken.

With Baier Kro's observation ability, he naturally discovered it, but he did not hide it in his heart, but said directly: "Remember next time, when you think of something, restrain your eyes."

It's like a student's secret is known by the teacher...

Horus felt this way instantly, which made him a little uncomfortable and briefly nervous, but he was no longer the boy he used to be.

Noticing that Baier Kro had no intention of pursuing the matter, Horus completely relaxed and said, "What should we do next?"

Baier Kro said: "After tomorrow, we will go to Lierli."

Horus nodded. Tonight is when the traffickers will arrive. Although these things happened in Xisong and Forna died, Horus didn't know whether the traffickers knew these things.

Maybe they didn't communicate with the outside world at all in order to hide. Horus couldn't bet on the possibility that they knew the news, so he still needed to wait at night.

Moreover, the Lier calendar mentioned by Bailkro was exactly the starting point of these human traffickers, which was in line with Horus's goal. In addition, he felt that it would be safer to have someone around.

Therefore, Horus wisely ignored the fact that the other party made a decision for him directly, and nodded.

Then, Bailkro told Horus something about the bounty.

Hearing this, Horus frowned and said, "My bounty is only 100 berries. Those nobles are too stingy."

Who are you looking down on!

Kidnapping the sons of some wealthy businessmen makes money faster than this.

Bailkro smiled and said, "You are just an insignificant person, and maybe they don't want you to die so soon."

Hearing this, Horus thought about the meaning of the other party's words, and then he suddenly realized.

Obviously, those nobles used him as bait to attract Sigarda to appear.

If the bounty is too high, some powerful supernatural beings may target him. At that time, Horus will be doomed to die, and he may not even have time to notify Sigarda.

Of course, all this depends on the premise that Horus has a connection with Sigarda.

Horus guessed that some of the nobles were still clear-headed. They knew that he was a discarded child, but they still did not give up the possibility.

Anyway, they did not take Horus seriously at all, and it did not matter whether he died or not.

Inexplicably, Horus felt a little sad.

Baier Kro looked at Horus quietly, without saying anything. Behind this matter... I am afraid there are more plans.

A witch died in the Phantom Red Church, and they should have some actions. And according to the actions of the Phantom Red Church, those sects can judge some things based on this.

For example, whether the Phantom Red Church is behind this matter, or other...

Those evil sects all want to gain benefits from it.

They don't care whether the nobles live or die.

In short, this matter is very troublesome.

As for Horus, one of the parties involved, no cult would care, because it was too obvious that he was abandoned, and Horus might even be a trap to attract their attention.

Therefore, the treatment of Horus was that the cult provided some information, and then some nobles took advantage of it and issued a reward. Other nobles saw this and happily saved a sum of money, and then watched from the sidelines.

If Horus was really a source of trouble, Bailkro would definitely stay away from him and go as far as possible.

Otherwise, why stay with him?

Give birth to his children, or let him give birth to his own children?
