Civilization Guardian Front

Chapter 590 Two? Lover & Conspirator

The dawn cuts through the darkness, smoke rises from the chimneys of houses, and people push open the window panels that block the cold wind at night to welcome the warm sunshine of a new day.

Of course, this city is a prosperous city due to adventurer activities and magic stone products industry, and its convenient geographical location attracts merchants and funds from all over the world, which makes the prosperous street rich and luxurious, and the happy street full of debauchery.But after all, that is the extravagance of the wealthy few.

Put peas and cheap herbs into a clay pot, add a little broth and stew over a charcoal fire to make a porridge-like bean paste plate, then take out the bread from the cupboard, tear it into small pieces, and serve the hot bean paste Soak and eat it softly, and add a glass of cider, which is the residents' daily breakfast.Families with better economic conditions may be able to enjoy some bacon or cheese with it, but that's all.

Most adventurers are simpler. On the way to the entrance of the Babel maze, buy some snacks from the vendors on both sides of the street, and solve them while walking.

In Orario, such a simple and monotonous life is the main theme.

As the morning light shines on the entire city, leaving intricate light and shadows among the row upon row of buildings and alleys, the deserted streets half an hour ago are already a different scene.

The crowd is bustling, and the noise is mixed with the yelling of the street vendors...

At this time, a young man and a woman who had met privately on the city wall before dawn looked around from the gate of the watchtower.Seeing that people were busy running around for their livelihood and didn't notice them, they walked out of the tower in peace.

Thanks to the water rune cleansing technique developed by Chios, although the two had run into each other not long ago, some places on their bodies were sticky and messy.Right now, there is nothing unusual about it.

After washing with water and drying with wind magic, even the sweat stains caused by the sword fight are gone, refreshing and pleasant.

Of course, doing something so embarrassing to say early in the morning, even Ais, who has a poker face every day, can't erase the faint blush left on her fair skin after the excitement.

Walking side by side on the street together, the girl secretly glanced at the young man beside her from the corner of her eye...

Xiang Yang's upright figure is not at all uncomfortable, and every step he takes is as regular and elegant as if he had carefully calculated it.

The deep amethyst-colored eyes stare straight ahead, and the handsome face that is better than sculpture art gives people a sense of calmness and warmth.Combined with the shadow lines formed by the light on his facial features, and the slightly illusory smile at the corner of his mouth, it adds a touch of melancholy to his whole temperament.

It's completely Chios who is usually under the focus of everyone's attention, and he can't see anything strange at all...

This made Ai Si feel a little unbalanced in her heart.

Indeed, she didn't want others to find out that something was wrong, but even so, Chios was too calm.

It was as calm as if nothing had happened, just as natural as drinking a glass of water.

I don't know why the above metaphor came to mind. In short, thinking about it this way, she immediately became unhappy.

Instinctively, he stretched out his little hand to pinch Chios' side to express his dissatisfaction...

It's a pity that there is a thick layer of mink fur cloak in the middle, which caused her to fail this time.

Fortunately, Chios was not slow at all, and Dang even noticed the dissatisfaction reflected in Jian Ji's behavior.

"To be honest, what happened just now is still lingering in my mind..." After taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Chios put his left hand on the top of Aisi's head, stroking the girl's soft, long pale golden hair.

As if to prove that what he said was true, the five fingers that had been combed against the girl's scalp trembled slightly.

"If I acted too calmly and made you feel uneasy, I can apologize, but please don't misunderstand me because of it."

"...Really?" Ace asked, tilting her head.

"Hehe, guess what."

Chios smiled and didn't answer.

Emotions need to flow and run. Exploration out of unknown curiosity is the driving force behind all this. A clear answer will only make it solidify and stagnate. Keeping a sense of mystery wisely is often better than foolish confession or lies without a way out it works.

What happened next, as expected...

Ais, who couldn't get a satisfactory answer from Chios, and couldn't be sure that the other party was lying, first cast a cold sideways glance at the dishonest young man, and then quickly fell into pros and cons, struggling alone.

Chios especially likes to see girls asking and answering themselves, and denying the previous conclusion in the next second.

He knew very well that the other party would never be able to get the correct answer without the parties concerned explaining their doubts.

But girls are keen to dig into the corners, and they can't stop thinking if they don't get a correct answer for a day.As everyone knows, during this process, the space in their minds has been gradually occupied by a figure.

Feel free to worry...

(Anyway, no matter how many times you go around, you can't escape my palm.)

A wicked smile flashed in his eyes, and Chios moved abruptly towards the potato ball stand not far away.

"Good morning, guest... eh? You... you are the "Sword of Dawn", and... Juju, even the "Sword Fairy"..."

The young female clerk of the super popular chain store was full of disbelief, rolling her eyes back and forth, looking at the young man in front of her and the beautiful girl who was silently following behind him with her head bowed, wondering what she was thinking.

"Hush, keep your voice down." His right index finger was erected in front of his lips to signal a low profile, and Chios blinked at him with one eye.

Converging into a line of charm that hits the soul directly, it instantly smashed the weak will of the female shop assistant.

"Yes..." She nodded obediently, staring at Chios in a daze.

"what do you need? "

"Three fried potato balls with red bean filling in double cream, one with matcha cream, and..."

Chios' words suddenly stopped, and he looked at the rare horns on the head of the good-looking female shop assistant behind the stall, and pondered for a moment.

"Excuse me, may I ask, are you interested in being an adventurer?"

"Hey? "

The tall girl who manipulated the ignition device and adjusted the oil temperature immediately opened her eyes wide.

...

Ask Aisi to finish eating the potato balls, and then accompany the other party back to the Twilight Pavilion, standing at the door and watching the girl disappear into the main building.Only then did Chios restrain the smile on his face, and turned to leave the northern main street.

Came alone to the southern part of the city, an inconspicuous hotel near the bustling streets.

Ding!

He popped out a sacred gold coin with a denomination of one thousand fares to the boss behind the bar. The bald middle-aged man raised his face and nodded his thanks to the young man.

Chios had no intention of chatting with the other party here. He climbed up the wooden steps to the second floor, turned left and walked to the fourth room counterclockwise. He pushed the door and walked in without knocking.

"so slow..."

A woman's charming complaint came from the room.

"I didn't expect that the perfect "Sword of Dawn" in everyone's eyes would be late. "

"There were some episodes on the way here, and I was accidentally delayed."

In one sentence, he explained why he was unable to make an appointment on time, and the young man took off the sable cloak hanging on the hanger by the door, and looked at the beautiful Amazon woman sitting alone on the edge of the double bed.

"Since you chose to be there to meet me, can I assume that you have agreed to cooperate with me..."

"Miss Aisha Belka."

Chapter 590 Three? Planning an Assassination

"How dare I not come after hearing that kind of words..." Ayesha pursed her lower lip and smiled, but her eyes silently avoided Chios' sharp gaze, revealing her nervousness at the moment.

"So, Olalie's hero, what can I, a Lv.3 little person, do for you?"

If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to notice that her seemingly relaxed sitting posture with her legs crossed is actually a little stiff.

It's normal to have this reaction...

Yesterday evening, Chios disguised his identity and sneaked into the Happy Street where the brothel had just opened. When he found Aisha, he whispered:

"If you cherish your life, cooperate with me. See you tomorrow morning, on the second floor of the Cave Bear Hotel in Nancheng District, in the innermost room on the left."

Exactly why it is a matter of life and death is not revealed at the moment.

Aisha didn't understand the reason behind this, but she didn't dare to ignore it. She knew that Chios would not be idle and make such meaningless jokes, so she came to the appointment alone with anxiety and doubts.

Fortunately, Chios didn't mean to be secretive.

"Rising to the threshold of Lv.4 is not too far away for you..."

When he came to the dining table, he opened the chair and sat down. The young man leaned on the table with his left elbow and stared at the woman beside the bed with his chin resting on the back of his hand. His tone seemed both emotional and sarcastic:

"Unfortunately... approaching the next stage brings more anxiety than joy."

"Recently, do you feel that the eyes of the head of the family have become more and more strange?"

Hearing this, Aisha's pupils suddenly shrank.

"you..."

"How do you know that the big toad secretly killed the regiment members, right?"

He took the first step to say what Aisha was about to say, and seeing the other party's bewildered expression, Chios smiled slightly.

"For a large faction like the Ishtar family, there are always a steady stream of outstanding talents joining, and every once in a while someone will stand out from the same level and enter a higher stage. In view of the above reasons, the level distribution of your family members , according to common sense, it should be a stable pyramid structure..."

As he spoke, Chios held his left hand and took out a bottle of brandy out of thin air.

He pulled the cork from the bottle, poured into the two wine glasses he had taken out in the same way, and handed one of them to Aisha.

"The number of your members from Lv.1 to Lv.3 does conform to this progressive law. However, there is a serious fault at the level of Lv.4, so that as a leader of Lv.3, you, the duty It's almost equivalent to the deputy head. For such an obvious abnormality, it is more difficult not to doubt it."

"...do you have proof?"

"Hmph, did you get the situation wrong..." Chios curled his lips and returned a contemptuous sneer.

He took a sip of the strong and mellow golden wine, his cold face quickly returned to his usual gentleness and elegance, he shook his head and sighed:

"Are you willing to wait until the moment it kills you before regretting protecting that toad? If that's the case, I really have nothing to say."

"..." Aisha fell silent for a moment.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the young man's words really hit her sore spot.

Outsiders don't know whether Phryni committed the act that Chios said. Could it be that Aisha, who is the cadre and responsible for leading the battle whores, doesn't know...

She knew that all the speculations of the young man in front of her were correct.

"What are you going to do when you tell me this?"

"Isn't it obvious what I'm going to do..." Chios shrugged and replied lightly:

"Of course, let Phryne disappear from the world forever."

That's right...

While everyone in the city was focusing on the massive joint expedition of the Familia, Chios was planning to assassinate the head of the Ishtar Familia.

In this troubled time when unknown crises continue to brew in the dungeon, depending on the seriousness of the situation in the labyrinth, it may be necessary to mobilize all the forces of the entire city.Among them, the combat power of a large number of high-level adventurers under the four gods of Loki, Freya, Ganesha, and Ishtar is undoubtedly the most important.

Although there is a slight gap compared with the first three S-level factions, the wealth, scale, and strength of the Ishtar family who monopolize the business of the happy street prostitutes in this birth capital of heroes gathered by adventurers are beyond doubt. Being at the top belongs to Olalie's pivotal force.

The trends and decisions of the above four pillars deeply affect the enthusiasm of many small and medium-sized factions in Orario.

Regrettably, Goddess Ishtar has always held deep hostility towards Freya, who is also a goddess of beauty but is better than herself in every way, and she is deliberately trying to bring her down.

Honestly, it wasn't such a big deal...

After all, the difference in strength between the two families of the Goddess of Beauty was too great. Freya herself, who was hated by Ista, didn't even bother to pay attention to the various under-the-table tricks against her, obviously not paying attention to the other party.

However, the current situation is no longer the same as before.

In the face of a super-large abnormal situation, the Freya family had to put their combat power into the maze as much as possible, and now the number of people staying on the surface is quite limited.If the Ishtar family launched an attack at this time, there might be a real chance of a successful counterattack.

Once Ishtar is allowed to succeed, the favor of all members of the Freya family in battle will suddenly be invalidated, and in an instant, they will be reduced from a strong and reliable teammate to a fish on an anvil to be slaughtered.

In order to prevent this from happening, Chios must take precautions beforehand.

The method is to get rid of one of the two trump cards in Ishtar's hands: Phryni at Lv.5, or... the Sanjo Haruka who has a rare magic that can improve the adventurer's strength by one level.

Chios had no intention of destroying the entire Ishtar Familia, that would only lead to chaos.

The battle whores who lost the power of grace scattered to other factions, and since then lost the advantage of teamwork and cooperation.The interests of Happy Street were divided, the original stable order was reshuffled, and the intensification of power competition has a high probability that the crime rate will soar in a short period of time.

Although looking at it in the long run, such a development may not be a bad thing.At least, the Hestia Familia have legitimate reasons to cleanse the countless evils that have been lurking in the Happy Street for many years.In this way, Chios can not only gain a huge reputation, but also hold the hands of those involved in gray interests tightly, threatening them to obey him.

However, that will have to wait until Olalie survives the crisis of this dungeon mutation...

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Chios quickly made a decision.

After killing Phryne, the subsequent side effects are not great.

Except for Ishta, who lost her ace combat power, who can be imagined to be extremely angry, I believe that most of Olali will applaud.

The majority of men no longer need to worry about being targeted and taken away by toads, and turn into miserable wretches who cannot take care of themselves.The fighting whores are also worried that customers will not dare to approach the family stronghold, so they don't need to go to the street to search for prey, they just need to stay comfortably in the stronghold and wait for the guests to come to their door.

In particular, Phryne looks very ugly...

If you don't kill her, who will you kill?
