"So, that old man gathered all his subordinates and family origins for a meeting, and his attitude was so solemn and serious that it was as if he was going to hold a funeral for himself, but in fact he just decided to kill me?" Lu Xi asked.

"This is not surprising, Master Lu Xi, all large social organizations actually have such similar problems, the state is like this, the chamber of commerce is like this, and the gangsters are actually the same. The larger the organization, the more difficult it is to grasp the people's hearts, and the more likely it is that they will hinder each other and cause internal strife and self-chaos. What's more, the Dalrest family has been the **** overlord of Neosfia for too long, just like a vicious wolf who can easily eat enough every day, fat and strong, but in fact, it is much slower than the hungry kindred. Such an organization always needs to hold a mobilization meeting when it decides to mobilize all its forces for an all-out war. The person sitting across Lu Xi's table, who happened to be obscured by the shadow of the light, let out a laugh that bordered on sarcasm.

Now, on the third night after the end of the gambling game, the venue is in a very inconspicuous roadside shop in the most crowded business district of Neosfia. Lu Xi sat on the second floor of the shop, except for a large cat napping at his feet, there was no one with his friends around. And at this moment, the person who sat at the same table with him and talked happily was not only not a friend, but also had a big fight a few years ago.

"You must admit, however, that the elder Sir Victor was at least a very contagious instigator who, in a matter of ten minutes of his generous speech, succeeded in igniting the anger and fighting spirit of all his men. Of course, mobilization is one thing. Action is another matter. The Dalesters are the behemoths of Neosfia, but they want to wage an all-out war with you. We must mobilize all our forces to have confidence. And this ......."

"The larger the organization, the more time and effort it takes to mobilize. Is that so? Lu Xi added with a sneer: "What's more, it's for someone like me who has a great deal to do with the Federation." Even if he wanted to do it, he would have to negotiate a strategy with his two in-laws, and maybe he would have to borrow some manpower from them. The Dalest family is the overlord of the underworld (meow) in the capital of the seven seas, but after all, it is just an underworld association, and the high-end combat power mastered is not enough to completely wipe out me, a strong man who has killed from the demon god. ”

"Working with a smart client like yours will always save you a lot of unnecessary time and words, Master Lu Xi! As you said, old Sir Victor has sent an emissary to the Natya-Federation, and his second son himself has done so. Maybe. You're about to face a battle with fellow Fellow Scholars of the Learned Alliance. ”

"All I can say is that they're really not smart enough. The fact that such an IQ can still be a magician is in itself an insult and blasphemy to the truth of the arcane. As a magician, I am not only obligated to teach them what combat magic is, but I also seem to have an obligation to make them human, right? ”

"Oh, that's terrible!" The person whose body was hidden in the shadows with most of his body really trembled, and there was an inexplicable hint of fanaticism in his voice: "In this way, you will show your true spirit, the ultimate spirit that matches your extreme beauty." It's you in my image. ”

"I'm really pessimistic about the nature of your work and the working environment of the Faceless One, is it that there are too many people to play in normal times, and the performative personality can't be suppressed at all, and as a result, I'm going to become a snake spirit disease? Even saying a human sentence is like reading lines from a third-rate drama? If you continue like this, I will have to go to a psychiatric hospital to see you in ten years at most. Lu Xi raised his eyebrows. deliberately let the lost party see the color of his pity, and then said: "In short, if it is according to your estimate." Should I have almost a month more to prepare? ”

"In a life-or-death situation, even a large bloated organization can burst into unprecedented action and efficiency. With that in mind. It may only be a week. Plus, you'll need to be prepared. Maybe you will soon face the assassination of the Dark Brotherhood. The other party said so calmly, and then revealed half of his face in the light, which was the face of a plain ordinary man, without features and temperament, and even as long as he turned around, he would be directly forgotten by most people.

"If you can't rest assured, as long as you open another affordable price code that is acceptable, we are willing to exclude experts, including members of the Nightingale Club, to protect your safety." The smile on the other party was somewhat flattering, like a gold medal salesman for some bad products.

"When did you Faceless Guild stop stealing or selling intelligence, and still take on such a promising and high-risk job as a bodyguard?" Lu Xi couldn't help but sneer: "Could it be that I don't have to see you in a mental hospital in the future, but I have to go to a nursing home for the disabled?" ”

"Oh, respected master, didn't I tell you a long time ago? Like the Dark Brotherhood, we are all in the dark business on the shadowy side of this world, but what is very different from the latter is ...... We are very elegant and harmonious in doing things, and never do violent and brutal wet work. Unfortunately, the mediocre world always sees us as thieves, and it is unpleasant to see the ****** anti-system and anti-civilization madmen of the Brotherhood who are uncomfortable without killing people as knights and rangers in the dark night. It's quite unpleasant, so we're happy to do things that can make them more difficult. Moreover, you are a good customer, generous, bold, intelligent, and tasteful, and if you are gone, the world will become very boring, right? We Faceless Ones are graceful thieves and nocturnal walker nobles, and we are obligated to maintain the taste of this world. I think the Nightingale bosses would agree with me as well......"

Lu Xile said: "I can't imagine that my existence alone is directly related to the average taste of the whole world?" It seems that I need to take care of myself a little more once in a while...... But, Mr. Bars, since my presence is so important. Shouldn't this group of gentlemen at night do their duty and send a dozen ******** beautiful nightingale sisters with good faces, and protect me in all kinds of ways twenty-four hours a day? And it has to be free. ”

“…… This, what a pity! Guru. If there are really more than a dozen beautiful big sisters ********with good faces in our nightingale club, it is estimated that everyone will not be willing to come out to do field work. Other than that. You know, in a sense. Whether it is us or the Brotherhood is a businessman after all, there are so many brothers who follow you to eat, so it is a matter of course to collect money to do things. He smiled hehehe: "In addition, I have already reminded you just now, my code name in the organization is Kingfisher 883, why do you call me Bars?" That was already a past tense full of memories. ”

The Faceless Society, known as the 'Guild of Thieves', has been moving its territory to Neosfia for more than a hundred years. This. It's really different from the Dark Brotherhood, which never thought of moving, and has always followed the ritualistic rules of the ancient order.

was called "Bars" by Lu Xi, but he claimed to be a Kingfisher 883, but he was actually an acquaintance. If everyone's memory is good, you should remember that Lu Xi was still a fledgling secret policeman, and the first task he encountered was to clash with the people of the Faceless Association. At that time, the faceless person incarnated as Lieutenant Colonel Bars, the military attache of the Federal Embassy in Auckland. That's the one in front of you.

Of course, "Bals" was nothing more than the identity of the Faceless Ones when they were on a mission, and these Thousand-Faced Thieves had the ability to pretend to be a one-man and love one. As a core member of that union, of course, it is impossible to be like the eldest lady of the Sky Swallowing Whale family. Easily divulging his true identity. In fact, although the name of the guild is called the Faceless Association, it is impossible for everyone in such a large organization to be the best at cross-dressing and stealth operations. Only the core members who have truly received the complete lineage have the title of "Faceless".

In addition, the code name of the gang's external operations is birds. And it's all non-lethal and harmless birds, plus numbers that don't make any sense. With the exception of a union-like leadership that resembles a committee, it is called "The Nightingale". The codes and numbers chosen by the rest of the Faceless are actually very random.

It stands to reason that this Kingfisher 883's faceless man should theoretically have a grudge against Lu Xi. At that time, Lu Xi not only sabotaged his mission, but also captured him alive on the spot and handed him over to the secret police department of the Federation. Although he was able to get away with a little trick, there is no doubt that the mission failed and he was captured alive is a shame for a faceless one. But looking at his appearance, it seems that he has completely forgotten the unpleasant "little things" at the beginning.

"Throwing away Mr. Bars's name so soon? Could it be that even the charming Lady Bars has forgotten? Lu Xi smiled: "By the way, a month after you escaped, Mr. Bars was finally discovered." Would you like to hear the couple's follow-up story? After all, there is such a fate. ”

"It must be a happy end for everyone, right? But I didn't want to hear it at all. The past is like smoke, just let them drift away with the wind. The Faceless One waved his hand, "Every one of my experiences is a good memory, and it all ends in the most memorable moments. This is perfect, there is no need to understand the follow-up of the dog's tail mink, the story is like this, and life is actually the same......"

"It costs other people's money to live in someone's house, and in the end, sleeping with someone's wife has to be the best of the black pot, and I can understand that I don't wipe my ass when I do bad things in the end." Before the other party was ready to refute, Lu Xi said again: "However, there will be a market when there is demand." Your union has grown like this, so life must be prosperous, right? Otherwise, why would the eldest lady of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce become one of your members? ”

"That's because Miss Theas is very gifted, and she can be quite a good Faceless, and maybe even a Nightingale, a member of the Legends. This is compared to being a chaebol daughter, to put it bluntly, it is much more meaningful to be a marriage tool. Kingfisher 833 said, "Not just herself, even Gray? Mr. Airul is also happy to see this happen. Mr. Errul is a socialite of Neosfia, and of course he cannot be in the company of the evil party. As you can see from here, what a decent organization we are. So you can rest assured that your personal safety is in our hands. Well, of course. It's not free, but it's not that expensive......"

"Forget it. If you really send a dozen ******** pretty nightingale sisters......"

"Then you said yes?"

"Say yes! Then I'll have to hire another group of people to look after the house. Wait until it's time to go to bed at night. There is also the possibility that all the equipment will be taken away. In short, 1 million bakers for intelligence. I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow. Lu Xi said.

"Thank you for your patronage...... Also, to make sure again, are you really not willing to try the 24-hour personal protection business of the Despicable Chamber of Commerce again? Of course, as you said, we are all graceful thieves, chasers and protectors of true love and ultimate beauty, and it is also our duty to protect the love, peace, and beauty of this world. "As a gold medal salesman for the Faceless Society. Kingfisher 883 didn't seem to be ready to give up, and finally asked again. The so-called doing a line of love and a line, although the character and discipline of this Mr. Faceless Man are worrying, but the professionalism is actually worth learning from us.

"So what?" Lu Xi narrowed his eyes. As soon as he asked, he regretted it, and his instinct told him that this thing should give a bunch of excuses that made him quite toothache.

"To be honest, we don't really want to deal with the big people who need bodyguards the most, such as princes, nobles, rich businessmen, and the like. And it's tiring to compete with those professional guards. So, in order to improve everyone's enthusiasm, Nightingale set up a rule and set discounts based on the customer's appearance...... The top beauties can enjoy a 50% discount. So far, however, there have been no such examples. Our association has been developing this business for four years. So far, the most preferential case has been given is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Duchy of Stormy Cape Osford, but that is only 6% off. Personally, I think if you really get involved. I will definitely be the first customer of our ...... who is 50% off."

"Oh, is it? Thanks for the compliment. "My appearance is so high. This kind of self-explanatory thing still needs to be repeated by you? Besides, I'm not happy at all if you praise me like that. Instead, there is an urge to beat you up on the spot?

"Mr. Bals, you're a master of cross-dressing, acting, climbing, and stealing, but you're not an expert at combat. If even I can't deal with an adversary, can I expect you? ”

"So, as long as you agree, there will be a nightingale himself...... It's a pity that she is not a big sister who is ********, but the work under her hands is impeccable. ”

"Oh, what is there about me that deserves your attention to be so much that the nightingales need to come out and curry favor with themselves?" Lu Xi stretched out a finger and deliberately flicked the forehead ornament on his forehead, and smiled. Sure enough, he saw the expression of the other party's pupils shrinking slightly, although it was only for a moment, but it was enough.

"No need to test each other, Mr. Bars, this is indeed the Veil of Death, the real thing. I got it from Kazan. What do you think? Is the Faceless Guild going to send someone to steal and rob, or will it come to my door to serve me? Lu Xi smiled.

Kingfisher 883 finally showed a hint of an embarrassed smile and shook his head embarrassedly: "You are still so witty. It is your good luck to recognize the owner of the artifact, but it is also the blessing of the artifact. We're not fundamentalists from the Dark Brotherhood, how can we do such incomprehensible things? However...... After all, we are believers in the Shadows, and we always want to confirm what we care about. ”

"If it's confirmed, you'll be able to take the sheep when you find an opportunity, right?"

"This is a misunderstanding! Yes, it was all a misunderstanding! It seems, Master, that you have a great misunderstanding and prejudice against us, the keepers of the balance who walk in the night! ”

"I hope so. In order to eliminate this, for me, a customer who is very happy to cooperate with and has a very good appearance, can I give some information for free as a reward? Lu Xi looked at the other party deeply: "I heard that there should be a green shade tavern near here, but I sent dozens of people, and I couldn't find it for several days." You faceless are world-class intelligence mongers, but don't let me down. (To be continued.) )
