Ultimate Assassin System

"You can't do this place, there are not many guests, there is no atmosphere at all, it's gloomy , If I hadn't seen the tomb bag, I would have thought that I had come to the cemetery..."

No matter which world it is in, it is a pleasant thing to meet again after a long absence. ◎, of course, except for enemies on a narrow road. But it's also worth mentioning that if the reunion objects are different, the effect will be completely different.

To put it simply, if the reunion object is a man and a woman, the effect will be much more contradictory, it may be ecstatic and even cry, or it may be silent and then forced to laugh. But if the reunion object is two men, it will be much simpler and purer, hug each other, exchange greetings with each other, and then, everything is in the wine...

Kow, come over with three glasses of wine, on the table. Listening to Philip's big words, Tang En rolled the eyes angrily... Oh, right, it seems that the young shop owner is our Tang En children's shoes. However, it doesn't seem to be necessary anymore...

"If you don't speak, others can still treat you as a mute. As soon as you speak, you will reveal the nature of the turtle... Do you know what Qing is? Do you know what taste is? You bastard!"

"Aha, my bastard? Are you sure you're talking about me?" Pointing at his nose, Philip laughed angrily, "Brother, don't say anonymous as a sub-picture. Going to the Auction House in the capital city starts at 100,000 gold coins. I don’t say anything about pianos, harps, most of the orchestral instruments, etc. I’m good at everything. I’ll tell you a little bit, the pubs I’ve seen add up to There are definitely more houses in this town, how dare you show it off in front of me?"

"Can you break it? Hehe..." Tang En raised his glass with a smile, "I Give you another chance not to be slapped in the face. Take a closer look. I can't break this place!"

Philip heard the words startled. Looking at Tang En with a calm and calm look, he couldn't help but frown and looked around the hall: "Just take a look, it's clear if you see it, you want to bluff me... Well, I admit that your design is okay. , it seems quite novel, and it needs to go to the countertop. But that's it... The bonsai is a snow oak tree. It's pretty nice to build, but it's not worth a lot of money. The mural technique is good, and it's worth seeing, but this way The most famous painter in the capital is plentiful and easily available. Sculpture is the same, it is of little value..."

I have to say that although Philip's strength is terrible, he has lost his grandfather's face. But in other areas, especially in areas such as eating and drinking merrily, there is absolutely no doubt about everyone! Turn around and look around. In just a few words, I almost commented on the hall up and down. None missed.

However, when he glanced at the picture frame hanging on the wall beside the door, he suddenly stopped, squinting involuntarily, looking at the pitch-black dagger that looked more like a handicraft in the frame, suddenly a little familiar. , then thought of something, and was shocked for a moment, "Wait...that dagger..."

suddenly turned his head and looked towards Tang En, the latter still looked calm with a smile, licked his lips, Philip's voice was a little dry, "Isn't this your... The Legendary blade that cut off the Pope's head and slashed the Eldest Prince's throat, Arthur's dagger... You dare to take this thing out? Just hang it like that. What? Why do you want to fight like this! No one in this shabby town knows the goods--"

Philip is going crazy...

No matter what it is, once With prefixes such as Legendary, the value basically cannot be measured in money.

Of course, the reason why Legendary is Legendary lies in its unique, Peerless Grade characteristics. There are many such things that are impossible, and some even exist only in legends. It is a great blessing to see them at a glance. For example, the one in the hands of Sword God Woodin before, the Divine Sword, the national weapon that has guarded the empire for hundreds of years and is as stable as a mountain!

But despite such harsh conditions, after the battle of Temple Federation, when Tang En was officially promoted to first under the heavens Assassin, the hand in his hand was forged by Alchemy Master Lena, and was impregnated with a serving Pope and A ferocious blade of the blood of a quasi-king, Arthur's dagger, has undoubtedly become a recognized Legendary dagger, killing Divine Item, and is fanatically admired by countless people who walk in the shadows!

But it is such a Legendary blade, now it is so grandly hung on the wall as a background board, mixed with the surrounding butterfly specimens, cheap amber, etc., the pearl is dusty... Look at it With Philip's deplorable expression that was almost twisted, Tang En spread his hands, "No way, you know, I can't use it anymore, and it's not easy to be a kitchen knife, so I have to let it hang on the wall to show some residual heat."

Why don't you give it to me - this is the roar that Philip is roaring in his heart, but if he really wants him to say it, he doesn't dare to say it. It's not that he is afraid of Tang En's rejection, but that he really doesn't dare to ask for it. Think about it, if those Assassin, Thief, mercenary, etc., who are wandering in the shadows, know that this Divine Item of Slaughter is in his hands, then he will be in his next life... Well, if he thinks too much, it is very likely that he will not be in the next life. Now...

"This is cowardly?" Perhaps it was because of seeing bad friends after a few years, Tang En was obviously in a good mood, and it was rare to point to the back with a bit of embarrassment, "Go over there Look, it's on the counter."

Philip turned his head to look subconsciously after hearing this, glanced a few times, and finally found some clues in the inner corner of the counter.

It was a huge eyeball wrapped in a crystal ball, with spider-like bloodshot eyes and white eyes, which looked really scary. What's even more bizarre is that it is clearly a distance from the counter here, so it shouldn't be very clear. But now Philip looked at it, but instantly met the dark pupil in the center of the eyeball. It was as deep as a Bottomless Abyss, and there was some unknown fear hidden in it. Lonely, crazy... At this moment,

"Go back!" With a click, Tang En's hand snapped his fingers in front of the dumbfounded Philip. In an instant, there was a loud bang, and the legs of the wooden chair pulled out on the wooden floor with a screeching sound and fell to the ground. Philip's horrified Rapid Speed stood up and stepped back, pointing his finger at the counter, but his eyes didn't dare to look away, "Calamity... Calamity Eye?!"

Well, it's a legend again Thing... "Hey, you actually know each other?" Tang En was stunned when he heard the words, and then nodded replied, "Yes, this is indeed the Eye of Calamity."

"How is it possible, how is it possible. ..." Philip's face was pale and his tone was incredible, "According to historical records. This thing should have been destroyed by the temple many years ago. How could it fall into your hands?"

Tang En shrugged easily : "Oh. I borrowed this from the Northern Temple a few years ago. At that time, there was a demon skull or something, but it exploded, but unfortunately... Otherwise, it would be better for the curious viewing effect to be displayed together."

"Evil, devil skull?" corner of the mouth twitched, and then twitched, what a legendary evil thing... Philip is completely out of temper now, because he is numb.

Of course. The loser is not the loser. He coughed a few times, and sat down on the wooden chair, "cough cough ... Well, I take back that broken word, I admit that your place is really unusual. But from the practical point of view, your Qingba is an ordinary tavern. It's not much different from other people's."

"Ordinary? Are you sure?" Tang En raise hand pointed to the circular high platform in the center of the hall, remained calm and composed while handling pressing affairs. "Have you ever seen an ordinary tavern that holds concerts or even sings operas on the spot?"

Philip was taken aback for a moment: "You mean... bard?"

" It shouldn't be, or more accurately, not only!"

Mandel suddenly shook his head and took over. This was the first sentence he voluntarily said since he called in. Such a dull performance is naturally inconsistent with his status as an elite negotiator, but it is not surprising when you think about it carefully. Because of the negotiating object facing this time. Unusual!

To be honest, it's not a good idea to have such preconceived ideas. Negotiation is the first important imposing manner, such as the psychology of fear before fighting will naturally greatly affect the performance. When he came, Mandel thought he was fully prepared and would not be easily shaken, but when the real thing came and saw that person with his own eyes, Mandel realized that his preparation seemed not enough, and his mentality was a little out of balance...

It's not ashamed, yes, it's anyone sitting here who knows that the person in front of him is having a good time with him, who once fought against Sword God and died, Cut-throat the prince in front of the palace, assassinated the Pope and cut him off Head; once destroyed Light God Temple in succession by strength of oneself. The two Federations in the south and north were located. Wherever they went, blood and corpses were everywhere. It is recognized that... thorns! guest! Of! King! If he wants to come, he will not calm down, even if he is not scared to pee his pants, even if his psychological quality is good...

However, after all, he has a heavy responsibility, so it is not Mandel's willingness to retreat without a fight. Of course, the more important thing is that after he observed it, he found that the king of Assassin did not seem to be as terrifying as in the legend...

Medium stature, mediocre temperament, a public face buried in the honor and disgrace of the world , no matter how you look at it, it looks like a harmless to humans and animals. And just under the eyes of Cai Cai, the other party was actually charged by a gang hooligan for protection... Well, if you don't believe that Philip won't, there's no need to joke about it, and then he himself saw the Legendary handle. dagger, Mandel would really think that these two people in front of him were acting together to tease him...

He took a breath, and the observations undoubtedly calmed Mandel's heart. Without any hesitation, he interjected decisively.

"Let's clear it..." After taking a closer look at the atmospheric stage space, Mandel tentatively opened the mouth and said, "It's a high-end tavern that creatively combines some musical instrument performances and the effect of an opera house. Right? This will allow guests to enjoy the visual and auditory feast while tasting delicious food and wine... I wonder if I guess right?"

"Haha, listen, Philip, listen carefully, you idiot. It's called knowing the goods!" He laughed happily, Tang En ruthless attacked Philip meanly, and then turned to look at Mandel politely nodded, "By the way, who is this?"

"Marquis Mandel, too. Chief-In-Charge negotiating between the Empire and your Grey Cloth Armed Force this time." Although Philip feels ill at ease now, he brought the people with him, of course, he has to introduce them.

Nodded with restraint, "Mandel, when you first meet, just call me Mandel. Your Majesty repeatedly asked me to bring my belated thank you three years ago."

After a while, Mandel took a deep breath, stood up straight, bowed his waist ninety degrees, "Thank you, Your Excellency Tang En!"

"Your Majesty? Oh, it's Second Prince." After a moment of stunned, Tang En suddenly reacted and didn't care about waving his hand, "Sir Mandel, don't be polite, to be honest, I just did it in a hurry, I just hope... Well, Second Prince won't Blame me for killing his big brother." Look, why is there such a big gap in life? Killed the big brother, now the younger brother comes to say thanks. It's not like that stupid girl with big breasts and no brains, who wants to stab me...

After a little sigh, she turned her head and looked towards Philip. "By the way. You said negotiation just now. What negotiation? The Empire and the Grey Cloth Armed Force?" Seeing Philip looking away embarrassedly, nodded in frustration, Tang En couldn't help laughing, "hehe, didn't I say you, Philip, don't you? Are you addicted to being a middleman? Look at you again this time."

"Come, do you think I'm willing?"

"Your Excellency Tang En misunderstood, Philip Just follow orders."

"Okay. Then let's not talk about him." Tang En waved his hands indifferently, then looked at Mandel, who was straight up and his eyes were clearly entering the negotiation Condition, and shook his head lightly. , "Although I'm a little sorry, but I have to regret to inform Jazz that you are probably came in vain this time. I'm just a little shopkeeper now, and a long dead person. So about the Grey Cloth Armed Force , I don't know anything about it, and I can't offer you any help."

The refusal was both straightforward and thorough. However, Mandel's expression remained unmoved. Still calmly said: "It is your own choice to offer help or not, and we have no intention of interfering. But please see that for the sake of us coming all the way. Even if it is only as a guest, it will delay your time for a glass of wine. It's not too much to think about, right?"

The so-called stretched out hand does not hit the smiling face, and the other party is so sincere, Tang En is naturally not easy to be inhumane, and casually spreads his hand: "It's really not too much... ...Well, you say, I'll listen to it."

"Thank you!" Mandel smiled nodded when he heard the words, and did his due diligence, "This is the case, Your Excellency should know that our empire is in the War on the Nau with the North Desolate Tribe, a protracted war that has been fought for a long time. The Imperial soldiers suffered heavy casualties, were severely damaged, and are now almost at the point of exhaustion and precariousness..."

"Sorry, I Interrupt." Tang En raised his glass and looked at Mandel with a faint smile, "It's so pitiful, wouldn't you want to invite the Grey Cloth Armed Force to join the war and help you fight against the North Desolate Tribe together? Tsk, if that's true. In that case, all I can do is buy you a drink, Sir."

"Your Excellency misunderstood, we never hoped for that." The highest purpose of negotiating is to bring the Grey Cloth Armed Force out of the war, so as to reduce the pressure on the Empire. However, when he learned about the relationship between Tang En and Lansa outside the town, he also knew that it was absolutely impossible...

Tan Shou confessed, "What we want to achieve is just to hope that you can The north bank of the Lenau River has been cordoned off, guarding its own territory and preventing some criminals who have escaped from the empire from entering and leaving at will. After all, this is not good for your rule and stability. Of course, if you are willing to repatriate these criminals , the Empire will be willing to pay a lot of money for this."

"Oh, I see." Tang En smiled casually after hearing this, "This is too hard to catch the strong, so that hatred is caught. Right?"

That's the truth, what imperial criminals, consideration for their stability, etc., are just excuses. The real situation should be that this protracted war has caused heavy casualties in the imperial army, resulting in a shortage of available troops in the empire, and they can only target those ordinary people. It is obvious that no one is a fool, and no one is willing to be cannon fodder on the front line, so on the current shoreline of the Rhineau River, there should be a series of life-and-death escapes being staged...

The Titus Empire is naturally unwilling to see this scene, because each escaped citizen is equivalent to reducing one point of national strength. However, due to the fierce battle with the North Desolate Tribe, the Empire couldn't be distracted, so they could only hope to negotiate with the Grey Cloth Armed Force to let the other side implement a blockade and fundamentally solve the problem.

With a change of expression, Mandel said solemnly: "Your Excellency Tang En, you think too much, you must know that this move is also for your sake..."

Interrupted by waving his hand, "Man Sir Del doesn't need to explain, in fact, no matter what the truth is, I'm not interested... Well, let's do it." Tang En pondered for a while, and said, "You came all the way this time, the reason why you came to me first, not the first When you go to Dawn City, you should be worried that you won't be able to meet the principal. I can write a letter of introduction for you, and you can take it to Dawn City, and you should be able to meet Joah or a senior executive of the Grey Cloth Armed Force. If you talk about it yourself, will it be all up to you?"

Mandel was overjoyed when he heard the words, in fact, this is the purpose of their visit this time, bowing and thanking: "Of course, no matter what this is. On behalf of the Titus Empire, I would like to thank you for your help!"

"There is no need to thank me." Waving his hand again, Tang En pointed to Philip who was drinking because he had no intention of participating in the negotiation. "I'm just giving him face, so as not to go on an errand for nothing." I understood, and saluted again: "This trip is quite rushed. Your Excellency and Sir Philip rarely meet to reminisce, so I won't bother here." After finishing the words, facing Philip nodded, just turn around and walk out.

When his silhouette disappeared into the car at the door, Tang En shook the head: "It's a wise man, it's a pity."

Philip raised his eyebrows: "You mean he this time The negotiation is destined to fail?"

Tang En spread his hands: "It's not obvious, the wall is down and everyone pushes. If you can't win on the battlefield, where will the confidence come from the negotiating table? Then Second Prince is also a Smart man, I guess I will send him here this time just to try, I don't have any hope... Well, from another point of view, it seems that Second Prince is also helpless, giving medicine to a dead horse, Titus After all, the empire cannot escape its fate."

"As expected, you, an outsider, can see clearly..." After a moment of silence, Philip shook his head, then took a deep breath, "Okay, anyway, my Quest is It's done, let's talk about business... Well, where's my goddaughter? Why didn't the godfather come over to see him? Fortunately, I brought a gift..."

Before he finished speaking, A harsh voice suddenly came from the door, "Whose shop is this? Where's your boss, let him come out and pay the protection fee... What? Who are we? Have you heard of Black Tiger Gang—"
