Early the next morning, Cynthia received an order from Borken to go to the mage tower in the city to retrieve a very important thing - the "arcane core", an artifact that can provide a steady stream of energy for the entire floating city.

"It's really strange, why did the master choose me?" She had no idea what was going on, and she couldn't find a convincing reason for racking her brains along the way.

Of course, no matter what, this job made all the other mages show envy, jealousy, and hatred, everyone knew what the arcane core meant, and even some scheming guys spread rumors that she had climbed into the bed of Borken, the chief engineer of the project, in exchange for her current status.

However, Cynthia knew very well that although Borken admired her beauty very much, she had never moved her mind in that regard, otherwise, with her current strength, there would be no room for resistance except to be obedient and obedient.

"Ahhhh No matter! Cynthia stopped abruptly and stood on the street, scratching at her long, light blue hair. Anyway, it's already here, and it's good to get a closer look at this treasure. ”

Her nervous movements immediately attracted the attention of passers-by, coupled with her beautiful appearance and unique charm, which instantly made many people's hearts beat faster, and her two eyes appeared with admiration.

"Oh...... Damn it! I didn't control my power. She quickly noticed the changes around her, subconsciously covered her mouth, and ran away without saying a word, disappearing at the end of the street in the blink of an eye before everyone could react.

"It's funny, a stupid girl who is naturally stupid can become a mage? I wonder if she was ever kissed by the goddess of magic. Such a person can also become a spy? I still think that Miss Serena who was killed is the real Yellow Sparrow. ”

Inside a house around the corner. The dark elf girl Huerva looked at Yiqiē in her eyes. Rather disdainfully pursed his lips. His face was full of disdainful expressions. She even thinks that if Cynthia's character is born in a dark region, she will be played to death by her own compatriots every minute, let alone become a spy.

Robert, who was hiding in a dark corner, frowned: "It's very strange, the aura she exudes is like a devil and a demon who lure mortals to fall, but she is so naïve in her thoughts, is there really such a person in this world?" ”

As a divine dragon and legendary thief, he could see at a glance that Cynthia's appearance just now had no acting elements at all, and it was all the truest thoughts in his heart.

"Hey, hey! Doesn't matter. Anyway, the boss has spoken, and today she will be arrested and tortured no matter what, and when the torture instrument is put on, will it really be natural to get an answer. Huelva moved his fingers eagerly, as if he was going to do it himself.

As one of the few people who was focused on cultivating by the guild, she had learned almost all the skills and methods of thieves, and it was natural that she would be punished with mere punishment.

"No, don't worry, wait a little longer, and see if it's not too late for her to contact others after she gets the arcane core." After saying that, Robert also ignored the reaction of the dark elf girl. Fleeing directly into the shadows, chasing Cynthia in the distance.

"Whatever, anyway, even if this woman gets the core of the secret law, she won't be able to pose any threat." Huelva shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He also entered the stealth state and followed closely.

The professionally trained thieves moved much faster than normal people, and without much effort, the two locked onto their targets one left and one right, and as soon as they found that the situation was wrong, they could immediately launch a deadly assassination, especially since Robert and Huelva both had the ability to use magical items and scrolls, plus the various "gadgets" they carried, even Henry would feel a headache.

You must know that in the Faren Continent, unless you transform yourself into a special form, even legendary professionals are mortals, and they will die if they are pierced through the heart or cut off their heads, so powerful assassins are terrifying.

Cynthia didn't realize that she was being targeted, and happily hummed a country tune all the way to the door of the Mage's Tower.

"Is anyone there, please? I have come on the orders of Master Borken to claim the core of the arcane. She knocked the door and shouted.

It didn't take long for the row of numbers on the door to suddenly start spinning and jumping wildly, until all the numbers that had been chaotic and disorderly had become zero, and then it clicked and slowly opened.

There is no doubt that there is still a frenzied ten-digit password here, but it has been temporarily changed to ten zeros for the convenience of access.

"Come in, the arcane core is in the hall on the third floor, and you can leave after you get it." A slightly older voice echoed through the entrance.

Cynthia cautiously stepped over the threshold and looked left and right, only to find that the hall on the first floor was empty, not to mention people, not even a guard golem. After whispering a few words and finding that no one paid attention to her anymore, she gradually grew bold and walked towards the stairs little by little.

Although this girl was a little natural, she still knew how dangerous it would be to break through the mage tower, so she climbed to the third floor in one breath according to the instructions of the voice just now.

As soon as she stepped out of the staircase, she instantly saw a ball with a dazzling light floating in the air, as if all the magic nets in the entire space had been strengthened.

"Wow! It turns out that this is the core of the secret law! It's so beautiful! ”

Like all women, Cynthia's first instinct was not to marvel at its great power, but to praise the aura of beauty that emanated from it.

Perhaps, as one scholar once said, women and dragons are similar in personality, and they are the least to see glittering jewels and gold coins, so they must stay away when they go berserk, or else......

It is a pity that the scholar's words disappeared completely before he was finished, some people say that he offended a certain powerful person and was killed in his room, and others say that a certain dragon thought he was too mouthful and was directly eaten alive.

After holding the "Secret Core" for a long time, Cynthia took out a dark red box from her waist bag, gently put the sphere in it, covered it closely, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and strode on the way back to the construction site.

Standing on the top floor of the Mage's Tower, Tyrantiel pointed to the female mage's distant back and asked, "This is the yellow finch you are talking about?" Her soul seemed purer than a newborn baby, so how could she be a spy? ”

Facing the old mage's question, Henry couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "I also think it's a little strange, but I trust my intuition more than evidence. Don't you think it's strange that a half-blood water elf displays such a powerful seductive ability? ”

"But you shouldn't have to arrest her just because she was suspicious! Remember, the stronger the power, the more you must stick to the bottom line, otherwise you will soon fall into complete evil. Tyrantil admonished very sternly.

As a member of the good camp, he obviously didn't want to see his best disciples become unscrupulous villains, so he spoke out to persuade him, otherwise he wouldn't care.

"Master, I know this better than anyone else, and I have always adhered to the principle of absolute neutrality. But this time is different, my enemies are just too strong, so I have to use some extraordinary means. Don't worry, I'll talk to her first, and I won't use torture unless I have to. ”

Henry understood that the old mage was for his own good, so after a little consideration, he decided to try it first. After all, after Cynthia obtained the arcane core just now, she didn't show any greed or urge to destroy it, and he now had some doubts about whether his intuition was wrong.

Tyrantiel nodded with satisfaction: "This is the best, violence and intimidation are not the best way to communicate between people, maybe sometimes a little milder will have unexpected gains." ”

"It's very philosophical, but I think it's more effective to deal with those evil madmen. If nothing happens, I'll go first, or with Robert's efficiency, the girl will be professionally interrogated as soon as she is caught. ”

After Henry finished speaking, he bowed slightly, activated the teleportation magic, and disappeared in an instant. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter, as if someone was manipulating him behind his back.

At the same time, Cynthia, who had just left the Mage Tower, was attacked by a sneak attack, and under the simultaneous attack of Robert and Verva, she didn't even figure out what was going on, her eyes went black in an instant, and then she didn't know anything.

Without saying a word, the Dark Elf Maiden quickly took out the "Secret Law Core" from her pocket, and after confirming that this treasure had not been dropped, she said with a disdainful smile on her face: "Look, I said that she definitely can't be a spy." With this crappy spellcasting ability and reaction speed, even an experienced adventurer is inferior. ”

"Well, it could also be that the master has lost his eyes this time. But to be on the safe side, let's get her back to the secret base first and see if we can dig up some information. With that, Robert picked up his prisoner and ran straight to the nearest stronghold. With his dragon-like physique, he didn't feel any burden even when he was carrying a person on his back, and in the blink of an eye, he left Huelva behind.

"Damn! Is there such a big gap in strength between us?! Huelva cursed in a low voice as he stared at the slowly disappearing back of the leader of the thieves.

After arrogance returned from the dark region, she felt that her strength had improved a lot, even if she couldn't beat Robert, it was absolutely fine to hold on for at least ten minutes. But now it seems that it is estimated that the opponent can make him lose his combat effectiveness with just one blow.

As the two sneak attackers left, a man suddenly appeared in the shadows of the corner, it was none other than the Assassin who had killed Serena not long ago.

I saw him looking at the direction Cynthia left, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Hehe, have you finally started to act?" Looks like I'll have to prepare for it, and after they've tortured them, I'll be able to wake up the real Yellow Sparrow. ”

Without hesitation, he jumped into the shadows again, leaving no smell or trace, as if it had never appeared.

If Henry were here at this moment, he would have discovered that this assassin was already closely connected to the shadow plane, and he was free to travel whenever he wanted, and he was simply the most terrifying assassination expert. (To be continued......)
