"Sir, I need to take a look at your ID card. ”

At check-in, the barmaid Lia said.

"I'm here to join the Tower Mage Order. "Zhao Wenrui heard about the 'Rebirth Trial' in Tower Town as early as in Youton, and this time he came all the way to settle here, and this trial that can be exempted from crime and obtain a new identity is also one of the main reasons.

Not long ago, on the road, he had obtained more relevant information from the street attendants, and now he was more and more convinced.

Leah let out a meaningful 'oh', glanced at the 2 black orcs and 4 demon warriors behind Zhao Wenrui, and said while going through the formalities: "It seems that you need a room with a charging room." ”

"Dark energy can also be charged?"

Leah suddenly stopped writing, raised her head and looked at Zhao Wenrui, her expression was no longer relaxed: "I'm sorry, in the entire Tower Town, there are only three dark energy charging rooms, all of which belong to the mage group, you can choose the Black Corner Hotel." ”

"I'm too lazy to toss, I'll figure out how to solve the charge by myself. ”

"Ahem!" Leah explained, a little embarrassed, "We welcome you if you insist on staying here, but you will have to sign an additional contract for the Dark Energy Overflow and pay a security deposit of one thousand dinars." ”

"Okay, can you exchange coins here?"

"Yes. Leah's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly. In the town of High Tower, the coin exchange business is an important source of income.

Zhao Wenrui also got some money in Yutun, but it was obviously far from enough to pay the deposit. Fortunately, the gold and silver looted in the Cattynhold Magic Crystal Mine at the beginning were basically not touched, and now they should be enough for a while after being exchanged.

A mountain of gold coins and bricks was piled up on the bar, and many people in the bar looked at it.

Leah said with some complaints: "Sir, you should be cautious. ”

Zhao Wenrui naturally knew what Leah meant, "Just call me Hannibal." I look forward to people who come to me for borrowing money by unusual means. With that, he smiled and showed his white teeth.

Leah felt the strong smell of blood, and then related to Zhao Wenrui's extraordinary energy attributes, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This is a piercing character!"

Leah's professional ability is still very strong, the exchange business, the check-in procedures, it was done quickly.

In principle, Zhao Wenrui is eligible for a three-day short-term stay, and if he wants to continue to live, he must first obtain the trial qualification certificate of the Tower Mage Regiment.

The trials of the mage group will only be opened after a certain number of qualifications are gathered. Generally, it will not take more than two weeks, so with the qualification certificate, Zhao Wenrui can continue to live for 15 days.

If you fail to pass the trial, you will need to pay a detention fee of ten times the accommodation fee in order to continue living in the town of Tower, and each additional day you stay, the interest will increase by 5%, and it is a loan shark model with rolling interest.

Therefore, those transcendents who have committed crimes, who refuse to be held by the mage group with their lives, and only want to borrow the power of Tower Town to live or take refuge for a long time, must have a lot of money.

This has also given rise to some more distinctive industries, such as headhunting and money.

Zhao Wenrui didn't expect that his trial mission would be a headhunting operation in essence.

It was also a coincidence, and the day after obtaining the qualification certificate, I received a notice that the trial could be opened.

I went to find out that it was a temporary organized special operation. The reason why he was able to make the trip has a lot to do with him, because he is applying for a master-level qualification.

Although Tower Town is famous, claiming that a town has the power of a country, the number of masters is not more than 300.

Master-level is scarce, and it is also expensive to deliberately arrange trial tasks, so it needs to be handled flexibly, just in time for a headhunting operation with enough grades, and it is reasonable for Zhao Wenrui to complete it as a trial task.

According to the specific type of Zhao Wenrui in the qualification certification report, this trial does not need to test his intelligence collection and processing ability, and the main assessment items are combat effectiveness and combat power delivery efficiency.

To put it simply, the new character that Zhao Wenrui arranged for himself is a powerful fighter who can efficiently launch operations.

The trial begins.

Zhao Wenrui, who obtained the information on the target location, directly tore out the dark rift and went to the battlefield.

The examiners couldn't help but inhale coldly, and said in their hearts how high the dark affinity was.

In other words, how many heinous things did this person do to win the favor of the dark (by doing evil, his soul traits fit into the dark channel)!

In fact, it is not enough to do evil, betrayal is the more important indicator.

Although it is true that nature encompasses darkness, in the wider area of the universe, darkness is a super concept that accompanies the void, and the old branch factors are naturally triggered by this darkness that is enough to swallow up the universe after the heat death.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the examiners looked down on Zhao Wenrui because of their lack of vision, which cannot be blamed on them, after all, the concept represented by Zhao Wenrui did not originally exist in the Great Star Universe.

Through the dark crack, Zhao Wenrui, who appeared directly at the destination and completed the interception, faced a headhunting target who looked like a beautiful woman about 30 years old.

This woman's temperament is gentle and intellectual, and in Zhao Wenrui's opinion, it is extremely deceptive.

As for its true nature, Zhao Wenrui is actually not interested in knowing.

In his eyes, transcendents who have climbed to the height of a master do not have the concept of 'innocence'.

So in his opinion, this woman is a stepping stone to joining the Tower Mage Order, not a good woman who may have some singing and crying stories.

"Brigitte, my name is Hannibal, and you're my mission, capture, or kill. Is it a battle, or is it to fulfill me?" Zhao Wenrui said without any emotional fluctuations, approaching.

Behind him, the black orcs and figurines spread out in a semi-encircled position.

Brigitte stroked her hair, tried her best to show her good side, and smiled: "Hannibal, even if you are ready to be subservient, I can guarantee that when you really understand the dark side of Craig and his mage group, you will regret joining him." ”

"If that's what you say, then all I can say is that I'm home. Zhao Wenrui said, black flames ignited on his body, and the constant restraint cover spell of the black orcs and demon warriors was also turned off by him, and the black smoke began to evaporate on them. From a distance, it looks like piles of bonfires.

"Oh! It's rare, the power of darkness, it seems that it can only fight. Brigitte, like most people, equates the transcendent who wields the power of darkness with ruthlessness and murder.

She had the calmness and calmness of a veteran, and as she spoke, she pulled up her long hair, and with a seemingly random twist on the top of her head, it became a ball head.

Zhao Wenrui did not take advantage of the danger. The principle of not killing women was discarded when he was a scavenger in Jungle New York, and of course it was originally just a false character memory.

And now, he is too lazy to analyze the false and the true, and his only principle now is to follow his heart and act spontaneously. He is not a rare title of good and evil, what he asks for is simplicity, especially after having great power, the old yin beep style of life is too tiring, strategically planned, other times it is better to be simpler.

The first to hold back was Brigitte, in the face of Zhao Wenrui, who was constantly approaching, she took the lead and jumped up, and a coffin-like cabin suddenly appeared in the void, like a clasp for catching birds, and loaded her into it.

Immediately after, a flight assembly similar to the parts of the Iron Man suit was staged in front of Zhao Wenrui's eyes, and in less than 3 seconds, a mecha more than 6 meters high appeared in the ice and snow wilderness.

Zhao Wenrui scratched his head and said to himself: "Forget this stubble." ”

Yes, he forgot that the human civilization in this world is very advanced in extraordinary technology, and although the mecha is high-end, it is by no means a rare commodity.

Brigitte's use of mechs as a combat tool is not obtrusive.

Of course, it's not a big deal for him now.

Although it has not really been tested, he still has an idea of his current strength.

But there's a bit of arrogance here, too, because the old branch factor is at work. You know, any old ruler has the concept of greatness in their basic self-perception when they are born.

Zhao Wenrui is not so narcissistic, his formed three views and the comprehensive cognition formed by past experiences make him feel that it is too sensible to use the word 'great' on himself.

But it is also true that the powerful force makes his mentality inflated, especially after the Yutun treasure digging project profits, there is indeed a bit of self-appreciation.

Now, that mentality is evident in some of the details of the encounter.

Like a direct abandonment of the first mover advantage.

He wouldn't have taken it like this before, after all, he had never eaten pork and seen a pig run, he was pressed and beaten step by step, step by step, the more he fought, the more passive he became, and there were still many examples of aggrieved defeat, especially in the context of intelligence collection not being in place, I don't know what kind of routine the other party is, how can I be sure that the other party is not capable of punching the master to death?

But this time, he still pretended to be forced by 'not moving to respond to all changes', and let Brigitte borrow his strength to accumulate strength, and let him successfully summon a magic mecha to arm himself.

Of course, Brigitte would not be grateful for Zhao Wenrui's gentlemanly demeanor, and she did not secretly ridicule Zhao Wenrui for being a fool. She is not so superficial, even if it is a mockery, it will be after confirming the victory, and at that time, Zhao Wenrui is just another footnote on her record sheet that has failed due to arrogance.

'Hum!' a red cone-shaped jet of energy erupted from the mech's body.

Although it was fast enough, Zhao Wenrui still saw the specific process clearly: it was first excited at the nodes of the mecha's limbs, then converged in the center, and finally sprayed out.

In other words, my understanding of the mecha of this world is not wrong, it is indeed a large magic weapon with an alternative appearance and multiple functions. ”

I have to say that this is a question of thinking. When earthlings mention the concept of mecha, their first impression is that they are powerful mechanical weapons.

In this world, although the mecha is also powerful, it has always revolved around the transcendental, and the effect of magic amplification and amplification is its foundation.

Like Brigitte's attack in front of him, the essence is nothing more than a flame rush, but after the increase of the mecha, in terms of power, the spell level has increased by at least 4, and with the additional bonus of the master caster to the low-level spell itself, a simple 2-ring spell has become the lethality of 7 rings, which can already be described as eye-catching.

Of course, no matter how powerful it is, it is useless to miss it.

This blow of the mecha caused the snow to evaporate in an area with a diameter of about five meters, and the land was burned into a glass of water glowing red, with a radius of ten meters in the outer ring, and the snow showed signs of melting to varying degrees, but Zhao Wenrui, who was the target, was no longer there, and even Brigitte didn't know when and how Zhao Wenrui disappeared.

As for Zhao Wenrui, this is the first time he has tried the newly mastered 'Concealment' skill since he became a demigod.

This skill is excavated from the old bloodline, and it is a signature skill of the old ruler, so it can be said that if there is no special restriction, any attack that is not a large area of coverage will not be able to hit the target of dodging, and the only bad thing about this skill is that it consumes energy.

The techniques of the old branches are very energy-intensive, but generally speaking, they never worry about running out of energy.

In fact, there is a common disadvantage of the old branch technique, that is, it will pose a large burden on the body, so the tenacity is not enough, and the use of the old branch technique is very harmful.

Zhao Wenrui said that he felt okay.

After using this skill, it's like turning on the slow motion mode, which is similar to the feeling of being suddenly soaked in water, and the resistance becomes greater when you move, but other dynamic phenomena other than yourself have a stronger slowdown effect.

If he was slowed down by 2x speed when he moved, then Brigitte's cone energy strike was slowed down by 10x speed.

Brigitte missed a blow and lost the lock on Zhao Wenrui's position, and the prepared back move was used on Zhao Wenrui's puppet.

I saw the mecha leaping backwards while spraying light alternately with its arms, just like a single-handed shotgun, taking turns to shoot rapidly.

Neither the Black Orcs nor the Warriors had the ability to avoid such small-area covering blows, but their respective performances still made Brigitte's scalp tingle.

When the energy rush approached the black orc at high speed, the invisible cascading shield in front of him appeared under stress, although it was finally shattered, but the power of the energy rush was basically neutralized, and he couldn't even shake the black orc's body.

The figurines were obviously injured, but these guys were like ooze monsters, and the injured parts quickly returned to their original state, and Brigitte could basically determine that the figurines could absorb damage based on the analysis of the residual dispersion of the energy rush, and the proportion was far higher than ordinary.

"What kind of monster is this!"

The traits displayed by the black orcs and the demon warriors made Brigitte's heart ring, and she realized that Zhao Wenrui was not the dark spellcaster she imagined, but an extraordinary monster!

So she instinctively drove the mech to leap backwards, fly higher and faster, widen the distance, and completely enter the air combat mode, which is her intention.

But this plan fell through in the next second, and the mecha went straight into a strange black cloud.

Brigitte had risked her life to bet that the dark cloud wasn't there a second ago.

It's a pity that such a gamble is meaningless, she has been hit by such an unbelievable move, the mecha she manipulated fell into a black cloud, like a flying insect falling into a spider's web, struggling hard, but falling deeper and deeper.

And Zhao Wenrui, who performed this technique, hugged his shoulders on the ground, touched his chin, and looked up to perceive the situation of the black clouds, thoughtfully.

This technique is even more effective than he expected, mainly due to its characteristics of always following the target like a net.

The black cloud itself has a very limited mass, and the mecha is not slow to fly under the strong jet power and inertia, but it cannot get rid of the black cloud that is entangled in spider silk.

And 'entanglement' is not the only characteristic of the black cloud, the main thing is erosion, the black veins like roots are generated on the surface of the mecha, and quickly become thick, and then gradually connected into pieces, and finally become black, and this is the intuitive embodiment of being infected. Once this infestation is complete, both material and energy properties change, and the original control methods are no longer useful.

"The newly mastered skill system has limited patterns, but all of them are practical!" Zhao Wenrui thought with some emotion. He knew that the strongest method of this woman named Brigitte was not to control the mecha, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he didn't care about it in the first place, and now that the power effect of the means he used was above expectations, he was even less worried.

On the contrary, how to converge his combat power and not win too easily is what he needs to consider. Because the examiner of the tower has already arrived.
