The trail that bypassed the mountain stream soon led to the back mountain. The fragrance of the green shade is refreshing, the sound of the water and waterfall is endless, and the refreshing and cool feeling fills the surroundings, completely masking the piercing "creaking" explosion of the blazing fire.

Surrounded by sunlight, splashes and greenery, the whole person's body and mind seem to be healed and sublimated, and it is indeed a good place to rejuvenate the body and mind. If it weren't for the thick black smoke still jumping over the lush green forest and reaching into the sky, Lu Xi would almost believe it.

Of course, the mixture of leaves, dirt and spring water with the breath of nature is also quite refreshing, maybe it can reach the point of cultivating sentiments, if it weren't for his high spiritual sense, Lu Xi could even easily smell a faint smell of blood from the shadows between the gaps in the leaves, and his mood would also be more comfortable.

"In a sense, I can understand that the Faceless Ones pretend to be too rough, too wild, and too unloved." Lu Xi looked at the two people at the end of the road, and his eyes stayed on the mature sister who was still charming for a few more seconds, and then sighed in his heart: "Although I personally have a high evaluation of their leader's appearance, if I can be about ten years younger, I should be able to enter the range of this merry and talented girl." ”

It's really just a mouthpiece. You know, Ms. Asshad has been famous for more than 30 years, and she herself has appeared in different capacities and appearances. No one can be sure that the other person's appearance, body type, age, and even gender are their original form......

Except for a certain open Lu Xi.

"I've heard that Ms. Assad is an excellent businessman who thinks about others very much, and often adjusts her appearance according to the likes and preferences of the person she meets, whether the other party is a customer or a target......" Lu Xi looked at the mature aunt who greeted him with a somewhat impolite, even frivolous and gaze, and said lukewarmly: "Three hours ago, I was still the latter, and now, I should be the former, right?" ”

"Of course it's the former, and I hope it will always be the former." She really deserves to be a mature aunt who is "a little older and very experienced", and she can really smile with all kinds of charm. Then, immediately after, within Lu Xi's line of sight, her whole body fluctuated slightly, appearing more upright, slim and toned, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and forehead disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an elastic luster full of rhythm appeared on her face, like a girl. It's like a rejuvenating dream, and it only takes less than five seconds. The elderly mature aunt really suddenly became twenty years younger, and turned into the kind of beautiful big sister type that Lu Xi likes the most, very fit, very bewitching, very energetic, and three points maternal, and should also be very good at playing.

Well, our protagonist, Lord Lu Xi, is indeed a hopeless royal sister who is in control. The current members of the Crystal Palace, except for Limu, whose age is unknown and who is a three-free doll, the other sisters are all older than him, either one or two years old or a month, including Nicole, who takes the heartless vitality natural Lori route...... Anyway, Nicole is the oldest, right?

When Lu Xi played a rejuvenation in front of Lu Xi, on the one hand, he was showing his sincerity, and on the other hand, maybe there was an element of showing his strength (although the other party would definitely not admit it), I have to say that the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, Ms. Asshad, is indeed very good at playing.

"Well deserved, you are really an excellent businessman!" Lu Xi expressed his admiration without hesitation, and showed a sincere smile: "I can't really trust you, but I must also say that among the people who have done business with me, you are one of the people I look at the most, at least in the top five." ”

"That's great! I hope that the future service of the Dark Brotherhood will also be so highly praised by you. The lady, or Miss Asshad, who had become a twenty-year-old royal sister, smiled, and then moved out of the way, giving way to a more prominent position for the public-faced fish-eyed youth next to him: "This will be the whisperer of the Brotherhood, Mr. Seven, and the handover after that can only be carried out by you." ”

The dead fish eyes on the public face rolled their eyes, looked at Lu Xi with an almost unfocused and fluctuating gaze, and said slowly in the same businesslike tone without enthusiasm and frustration: "I'm seven, respected Lu Xi?" Master Berencaster, according to your commission, we have now basically eliminated the important members and resistance of the Dalrest family, and if there are any family members who have fled, we will continue to hunt them down for the next year. As for Old Victor? Sir Dalest, who is safe and sound, is over there, waiting for your fate. ”

Lu Xi's gaze swept over the old man on the Huxin Pavilion in the distance and nodded. With a flick of his wrist, a sheathed dagger flipped out as if by juggling and handed it to Mr. Seven.

"Then, as the commission said, the real thing about the withered dagger is yours."

These two super-god-level professional assassins who were as calm as a dry well and a deep pool, as if a landslide and a crack in the ground could not shake them, finally revealed obvious emotions at this moment. The two looked at each other and exchanged glances in a silent way, and then Mr. Seven, who was a dead fish-eyed passerby, pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hands, lowered his head, and respectfully took the inconspicuous sheath blade in a gesture that almost greeted the imperial gift.

"It's the real thing!" Mr. Seven's voice was still calm, but there was finally a hint of ecstasy in between: "I can feel the breath of the Lord of Shadows and the Mother of Eternal Sleep and the resonance of soul fragments, this is indeed the real thing!" ”

Of course it's genuine.,No matter how undisciplined this protagonist is, he won't use a guy to deceive people.。 Lu Xi thought that no matter how much he said about this thing, it was just a "mere" dark gold, I already had a dagger of the same quality, even if it was stayed, it was meaningless, it was better to give it out as a favor.

However, although it is only a "meagre" dark gold, the history of this withered dagger is quite long, and it is even above Lu Xi's World Tree Scepter. It is said to be an ancient mythological age, created by the Mother of Eternal Sleep, enchanted by the Lord of Shadows, and gifted to his followers with weapons. These two ancient gods are not the kind of famous gods with powerful divine powers and a particularly strong sense of existence, they belong to the typical mystics. However, the absolute number of fans of mystics who like to pretend to be forced is not too large, but the absolute proportion of brainless fans is very high, and there are die-hard secret societies and orders, which are the predecessors of the Dark Brotherhood. As a result, this withered dagger has become the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, the token of the Whisperer, and its price is equivalent to the dog-beating stick to the beggars, the Heavenly Sword to Emei, the True Martial Sword to Wudang Yunyun, and the original film of the frame of Ayana's smile to the brain-dead Eva kitchen......

Well, it seems that something that doesn't match the style of painting has been mixed in, but it's still that sentence, and it's good for everyone to understand the spirit.

However, just like the above-mentioned things, this kind of token representing a certain force will always be lost inexplicably, and it will never be safe. So, in a battle 2,000 years ago, the modern Whisperer died and the withered dagger disappeared. In the long years that followed, countless "withered daggers" appeared in the world, but none of them proved to be genuine, even the Dark Brotherhood itself, which gradually lost faith in bringing them home.

However, we must admit that fate is often extremely favorable to the protagonist. Once in a while, he went to an auction and was lucky enough to see the real thing, and it was regarded as an antique imitation of a certain era by an auction house that had never seen the world, and directly regarded it as an addition to a certain collection. This can no longer be described by buying and returning pearls, it is clearly selling pearls and sending pearls.

Of course, we really can't blame the other party for not knowing the goods. This ancient treasure has been lost for too long, and the archaeological community basically believes that it has been destroyed, and there are too many imitations in history, which are available in all eras, which objectively greatly increases the difficulty of identification. What's more, the real withered dagger was imprisoned by some very hidden but subtle ancient spell, and it didn't feel any supernatural magic fluctuations as a whole, and it didn't even have the wonderful rhythm that the sacred alloy should have, it was just a blade made of pure mortal iron.

Yes, the ancient spell that imprisoned this dagger was indeed quite powerful, and even the wind and a large number of appraisers did not find any clues. If it weren't for the kryptonite dog eyes given by the system sauce, even Lu Xi would almost think that this was an ordinary imitation antique, and the quality and material were average, and there was no origin, so it was indeed only worthy of being an additive.

Now that we're sure there's a spell on it, it's time to start working on it. The imprisoning spell that acts on the dead objects of the utensils, no matter how subtle it is, will not be complicated and strong. If it is not discovered, it will naturally be able to hide from the world, but if it is confirmed to exist, it will naturally have no power to resist. Lu Xi and Hurricane joined forces, and it only took twelve hours to completely crack the structure of the Imprisonment Spell. This blade, which has been lost in history for two thousand years, has regained its former luster, and of course, it has become the most important bargaining chip for Lu Xi to make the Dark Brotherhood turn against him. In other words, of course, people will not admit that they are defecting, but just a simple honest and decent businessman. It's just that the way of doing business is a little too advanced, and everyone is a little uncomfortable with hourly billing and the like.

Yes, that's all...... You see, the old man, who had not adapted to the fact that a day before he was the underground overlord of the world's largest city, was now sitting there with a withered face, dejected and numb, no different from all those old decays who had lost their spirit and were dying.

However, when he saw Lu Xi appear in his sight, he did raise his eyelids, and inexplicably recovered a little bit of energy.

"Are you here to declare victory? Lu Xi? Master of Belencaster! That's why you didn't let those two assassins do it? His tone was calm, but not bold. After losing all his rights and wealth, the so-called Black (Meow) Dao Emperor is just a powerless old man. Lu Xi wants to kill him, at most, it's a matter of a finger.

"You are a personal assassination order to the Dark Brotherhood, so you are their client. According to the rules of the trade, it is not allowed to shoot at you. Lu Xi said: "They are not murderers, they are just businessmen engaged in special business, and they are indeed very particular about doing things, you can't deny it." ”

Well, Lu Xi swore to the goddess very calmly that he was here to disgust the other party. Sometimes, he's actually very funny.

Fortunately, after all, the other party is an old man who has been galloping for decades, even if he is already a bad old man who has lost everything, but it is not really so simple that he was provoked by Lu Xi to lose his bearing and proportion. He just took a deep breath with a very covert movement and raised his head, as if trying to look at Lu Xi as much as possible. Unfortunately, he was an old man, and he was sitting, and he could not move a single step at all, and he could not stand up at all; And the other party is long and jade. No matter how hard Old Man Victor tried, it was impossible to change the other party's condescending attitude.

Three minutes later, Lu Xi finally had enough of looking down at the other party, and then sat down slowly.

"The Dark Brotherhood can't do it themselves, but they can put you in my hands. At this point, you're dead. However, I can give you three minutes to give your last words, and I will try to satisfy your curiosity. ”

"Why does it have to be this? Honorable Master, is it just to assert your power? We have no grievances in the past, and we have no enemies in the near future, even if it was a small friction that occurred when you first came to Neosfia, you were just a subconscious temptation, it didn't hurt, did it? You should understand that the Dalrest family has been rooted in this capital of the seven seas for a hundred years, and its tentacles involve all walks of life. No matter what kind of business you want to run, as long as you cooperate with the Dalester family, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Confrontation is pointless, cooperation is a win-win situation. I thought that a mature businessman should understand such a simple truth. "This is indeed one of the things that old Sir Victor could not comprehend until now, and he would not be blind if he did not get an answer.

Lu Xiping looked at each other, and there was inexplicably more pity in his eyes. At this age, he has to endure the ups and downs from prosperity to extinction, as well as the sorrow of the annihilation of the family, which is indeed miserable enough, and the most important thing is that even if the whole family dies, he doesn't understand the reason at all.

Lu Xi felt that he was indeed obliged to pity the other party with his eyes now, but he would never regret it.

"Now, even if you use the power of thunder to wipe out our clan, it will only make the rest of the wealthy merchants in the capital of the seven seas miserable, and everyone will be in danger. Yes, of course I understand that a genius spellcaster, a war hero, and a supernatural prowess against the Demon God like you may really look down on us mortals as ants, right? However, there is a world of the strong and the strong, and we who are weak also have the way of the weak. Aren't even the most famous Arcane families in your Federation cooperating with me? Of course, they can look down on me, but they can't look down on the benefits I can bring to them. But, you, you ......"

"But I don't pay attention to the overall situation at all, I come up and knock off the table on the spot, and kill them mercilessly, I am simply a rough and nervous barbarian, is that so?" Lu Xi sneered: "You are really skillful, or rather, if your Dalrest family can survive to this day, you have indeed figured out one thing - only a common alliance is the most unbreakable alliance." You are confident that anyone who is hostile to you and your family will have a way of winning them over to join their own alliances of interests, including despicable people. And you also know very well, the rumored Lu Xi? Berencaster is not a saint who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and he also has his own interests. ”

"Then why are you ......?"

Lu Xi directly interrupted the other party: "Do you remember sixteen years ago, a person named Black Hand Lyman?" (To be continued.) )
