Chapter 381 Hey, I'm Asking You a Question? Boy (4200)

Whether it is the Red Li Empire or the Red Li Federation, the capital is Florence. This is an ancient capital with a history of more than a thousand years, but it is not old, but full of vitality like an old tree in spring.

In addition to some commemorative or special buildings, the city of Florence will be renovated every once in a while. Infrastructure, wall decoration, underground water pipes, and flat roads are all maintained by dedicated personnel.

There are seven districts in Florence. The first district is the center of Florence. It is the palace of the royal family of the Red Li Empire. It covers a large area and is where the royal family lives. The second district is closely adjacent to the central city, and its core building is the parliament hall. This is the power center of the entire empire, composed of ten senators and dozens of deputies.

Most of these members are powerful nobles, and there are new nobles supported by capital and old nobles representing feudalism.

The administrative buildings in the second district are relatively concentrated and serve the officials of the imperial capital.

The third and fourth districts are mainly commercial streets. The third district is more elegant. Libraries and museums will be built here, including some luxury jewelry stores, clothing stores, etc. The fourth district is a little more vulgar, with all kinds of shops. All the joyful streets of Florence are here.

The fifth and sixth districts are residential areas, covering the largest area, about more than half of the entire Florence city area. The seventh district is some special institutions, such as barracks, sanatoriums, and the headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization. In fact, Florence also has a hidden eighth district.

That is the huge underground drainage system.

This is where filth and dirt are hidden, and the dark side of the imperial capital is all here.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was dim, and on the spacious main road, a black carriage set off from the metal pillars of the platform and slowly began to accelerate.

Kaxiu looked through the window and recalled the information about the retrospective era that he had learned during this period. Florence has a total of seven districts. Where is the source of the holy spring water? The headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization? Not really. In the palace? Residential area? Commercial area? It's not even inside Florence...

All of these are possible. The location of the Holy Spring is very hidden. In the Dark Hunter Organization, I'm afraid only the head of the agency and the high priest of the Holy Spring know it. The reason why Kaxiu tried to explore the location of the Holy Spring is nothing more than the gratifying effect of the stigma. He has never been a law-abiding person, not to mention that three years later, the Dark Hunter Organization was destroyed and the Holy Spring became ownerless.

Rather than being taken away by that mysterious force, it is better to let Kaxiu take it. His death in the retrospective era was not a real death, so it is not a bad thing to be more ambitious and greedy.

"Gululu... Gululu..."

The wheels moved forward steadily, and the coachman pulled the reins and steered the direction.

The carriage passed a corner and a note fell secretly.

A few seconds later, a figure walked out of the alley and picked up the note.

It clearly said an address outside Florence.

Five minutes later, in a hidden building, four figures waited quietly. With a creak, the door opened. The middle-aged man closest to the door took the note, glanced at it, and smiled.

"There are indeed some other forces behind this kid. I guess it's the old guys from the Dark Hunter Division..." said the middle-aged man.

The old guys he mentioned are actually the same as Blood Axe Heb. Old hunters who had to lay down their weapons because of old age or injury. They were at least Dark Gold Hunters of the Hunter Association.

Now after retiring, some of them have become instructors to train qualified new hunters for the Dark Hunter Organization. Some of them have become managers of various county branches in the Red Li Empire. They do not support the royal family or the parliament, and they are even too lazy to pay attention to the intrigues within the Dark Hunter Organization.

These old hunters are factionless and only support the head of the Black Agency. Their purpose is very pure and there is only one. To kill all the dark creatures in human society and eliminate all sins and disasters.

Blood Axe Heb is such an old hunter, but he is more unwilling to admit defeat. Even though his strength has declined and he is old and weak, he still fights on the front line of hunting. He does his best to burn the last rays of his life.

As a middle-aged man from the royal faction, he guessed that these old hunters without factions seemed to be ready to move. They planned to take the initiative to cultivate a seedling of shadow hunters to compete for the power share of the Hunter Association.

It is true that Bai Kui is only a black bronze hunter, and there is no threat to the competition for the quota of shadow hunters this time. But he can wait for the next opportunity. As long as Bai Kui does not join the competition, his qualifications will not be consumed.

"These old guys can't hold back..."

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he planned to report his guess to his superiors later. As for now, it is natural to assign tasks to the three specially invited killers in front of him. These three killers are not trained by the royal family, but a killer organization called Shadow Thorn. Every profession has its own specialty, and the assassination work is naturally left to professionals. In addition, Bai Kui is a hunter of the Dark Hunter Organization after all, and it is not appropriate for the royal family to take action.

If it is found out, it will also be a big trouble.

The middle-aged man took a look at the room. The three people opposite were all gold medal assassins of Shadow Assassin. They were all source energy users suitable for assassination, with the strength of White Obsidian Hunter to Dark Gold Hunter. It was enough to kill a Black Bronze Hunter.

On the left was a tall and thin man wearing a hood. His cold eyes revealed a cruel expression, like a lone wolf. He did not have the middle finger of his left hand, which was to facilitate the ejection of the hidden blade in the sleeve.

The man's nickname is Shadow Wolf. His body is similar to source energy, and he can maintain extremely fast speeds while remaining silent. Like a shadow that follows you everywhere.

On the right is a woman with bandages all over her body. She is wearing half a mask and her appearance cannot be clearly seen. Only on the wrist, there are densely wrapped strips of cloth, like two huge raised bracelets.

Her nickname is Broken Bones, and what she likes to do is smash the entire head of a mission target with one punch. If conditions permit, she likes to knock others out with one punch. Broken Bones loves to hear the sound of bones cracking.

In the middle, a somewhat rickety and skinny man was wearing a black cloak, blocking his deformed body. Just looking at his appearance, the man is the most vulgar and least existential of the three. However, Bloody Hand is actually one of the three strongest assassins in the Shadow Thorn organization. Master the source of courage.

Once activated, a dark red power will emerge from the hands. As long as it touches human flesh, the dark red will engulf and spread.

Little by little, the target is eroded into a pool of blood.

The three killers each have their own unique skills and are powerful. Used to assassinate a black-bronze-level kid, it's really a small skill but a big use. So the middle-aged man called Shadow Wolf out and planned to ask him to explore the address where Bai Kui was going to verify the middle-aged man's idea. The remaining two killers waited until dark and the carriage left the city, and then started to attack.

"Bangdang..."

A wooden box the size of a human head was placed on the table.

The middle-aged man glanced at the broken bones and bloody hands and said slowly.

"Bring me the head intact, and leave the other body parts as you wish. By the way, the expression before death should be a little more painful, do you understand?" After he said this, Broken Bones and Bloody Hand looked at each other.

It's painful, that's simple. What Broken Bones likes to do most is to smash a person's limbs with one punch, making the opponent feel the feeling of the bones in his body being shattered inch by inch. The bloody hand was even more cruel, the dark red spreading like thousands of insects eating away at the body. Extremely painful, deep into the bone marrow.

"clear."

The two responded immediately, with cruel smiles on their faces.

"Then go, it's five o'clock now. Come back before seven o'clock, is there any problem?" The middle-aged man glanced at his pocket watch and slowly raised his head.

"Of course not. You have to believe in the strength of the Shadow Thorn organization, sir..."

As the voice fell, the three figures had disappeared into the room.

The Feilengcui city area is very large, and the carriage that Card Xiu rode went around in circles, and it took him half an hour to leave the crowded business district. After arriving at a relatively spacious residential area, the carriage started traveling faster.

Feileng Cui will be available before about six o'clock.

Five fifty-five, on the outskirts of Feilengcui, an abandoned monastery.

There were dead grass everywhere and the stone road was full of gravel. The interior of the building is densely covered with spider webs and the light is dim. The red sunset barely provides some sunlight.

In the courtyard, two black figures waited quietly on a broken stone table.

One of them was wearing a heavy black robe and a pure white mask that looked like twisted tree roots. The pupils were a strange white color, surrounded by darkness.

His right hand is covered with a black glove, holding a huge sharp scythe.

The other person was wearing heavy armor, which was not white and translucent, but had a matte dark color. There is a dangerous heaviness to it.

The outline of the armor was ferocious, and there was a faint trace of blood between the gaps.

Beside the armored man, a cross sword as tall as a person stood.

"Ghost Man, do you really want to cooperate deeply with that person named Feng Xiang?"

"Do you just trust him so much?" The armored man suddenly said, his voice had a texture, like the collision of cold weapons, sonorous and powerful.

"..." The ghost man was silent for a while: "I owe him a life..."

"In addition, the cooperation between Feng Xiang and I is promising. This time I asked you to meet in the outskirts of Feilengcui. Actually, I want to get you to join the gang, Iron Knight." The ghost man took out two things from his arms and placed them on the desk.

On the left is a metal bottle half the size of a fist. It is obviously made of metal, but the surface has a woody feel and even has mysterious lines like growth rings. This bottle contains highly concentrated secret power.

On the right side is a badge, triangular, with a pattern like the steps of the sun engraved on the surface. As long as the black source material is absorbed, each step will light up. Until the top step is filled like a pyramid.

"Hunter Badge? Are you going to enter the world of disaster? It is the most dangerous area among all the missions in Black Rain Villa. If you stay for too long, you will be severely transformed into a beast. In the baptismal church, you must expel the disaster that invades your body. It costs a lot of black source material." The Iron Knight frowned slightly. He was friends with the ghost and had known each other since the sword level.

If the ghost man seeks cooperation with him, he should not suffer any loss.

So the Iron Knight turned to look at the ghost man, waiting for his answer.

"What you mentioned is exactly part of my cooperation with Feng Xiang..."

The corner of the ghost man's mouth twitched slightly, and it was obvious that during these ten days, he and Card Xiu had communicated again: "Wind Xiang has a refuge in the disaster world, which can regularly expel disasters from the soul's body. In this way, we can rest and hunt for a long time, hunt and rest, and the cycle continues..."

"Oh?" The Iron Knight suddenly became interested. After thinking carefully for a minute or two, he said, "Then what do you have to pay for cooperation?"

"Help Feng Xiang exchange for a hunter badge, and serve as a free channel to help him exchange for the power of the secret soul. Then, all the corpses of the dark creatures we hunted in the disaster world will be absorbed with something called demon seeds. Every time we enter the shelter, we have to submit the demon seeds to him..."

The ghost man slowly explained. But in fact, he still had something to say, which was a private deal between the ghost man and Kaxiu. One was that in order to repay Kaxiu's life-saving grace, he promised Kaxiu that he would find a way to get him a seal reporter qualification for the Black Rain Villa. The other was to explore the interior of the Black Rain Villa and find a palm-sized ancient bone tree in the unknown area.

"If it's just like this, of course I'm willing to cooperate..."

The Iron Knight thought for a moment and agreed directly. Compared with the benefits obtained, the things that need to be paid for cooperation seem insignificant.

Although it is a win-win situation, the Iron Knight always feels that he has earned more and has a sense of taking advantage. In fact, Kaxiu doesn't care about this. Because he has a killer, that is, the secret drug of fake death that can allow seal reporters to break free from the shackles of the Black Rain Villa. This is definitely a huge attraction for the Iron Knights and the Ghosts, and even all the Night Evils. Kaxiu is a newcomer, and it is impossible for him to form a powerful force out of thin air. But he can poach people, and directly pull over a few top knights from the Black Rain Villa. These are comparable to fighters.

Kaxiu does not intend to climb up step by step within the rules of the Dark Hunter Organization. That would be like a child playing house. He plans to overturn the table and establish a powerful mysterious force outside the Dark Hunter Organization. In this way, Kaxiu can quickly achieve the first obsession. If someone wants to hinder him, he can directly ask the Ghosts to kill him secretly and frame it as the work of the Black Rain Villa. Anyway, it is not surprising that the Black Rain Villa, which tends to be evil, will do anything.

In addition, this force is also preparing for the destruction of the Dark Hunter Organization three years later. It is very likely to face the mysterious power hiding behind.

Kaxiu already has a plan in mind, and quality is more important than quantity. In this time of retracing the times, create a supernatural force composed entirely of fighter-level strength. It will also be a huge help to go to the Eternal Island later.

As the sun sets, the sky is extremely dark, and the shadow of the high wall slowly shrouds it. The ghost man and the iron knight sit in front of the stone table, reminiscing and chatting, waiting for Kaxiu's arrival. Suddenly, the iron knight turned his head, looked sharply at the dark corner of the courtyard, and asked: "Did the wind elephant send you here?"

"!!!"

The shadow wolf who just found here felt a little nervous. He didn't expect that he would be discovered in less than half a second! The shadow wolf was about to climb over the wall to escape, but found that another black-robed figure beside the stone table had disappeared.

"Zheng!" A sharp sickle flashing with cold light was placed on the neck.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question? Boy, why don't you answer..."

A black figure has appeared in a darker position behind the shadow wolf, silently like a ghost. Scarlet eyes slowly lit up.

Unmodified...
