I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Basically a mock duel.

Is this supposed to be a sword dance?
As annoying as it is, he has to be serious in order to prove his skills.

Long Xiangtian stared at Darius expressionlessly.The other party was looking back at him, and the hand on the hilt exuded a terrible fighting spirit.

Should I try harder and pass him by?

If the strength gap between them is not clarified, he may be challenged in the future.

When his thoughts reached such a point, Long Xiangtian released the magic energy hidden deep in his body.

This is a power similar to that used by Mo Lin's warriors.

It works the same way, so you can use it for protection and even incorporate it into your swordplay if your ability is high enough.When Darius saw the dark energy erupting from Long Xiangtian's body, his eyes widened.

You wouldn't be the one who signed a bond with the devil, would you?

No, there is no such thing.

Although Asura does not have a formal rank among the high-level demons, he is a former demon god.

Compared with ordinary demon gods, they are in a class of their own.

Just like Solomon's 72 demon king, just his existence can easily subdue people who are weaker than him.

As Long Xiangtian took a step forward, Darius broke out in a cold sweat.

What..

Just the pressure made him shrink back instinctively.

It's completely beyond any aggression he's faced, and it doesn't feel like he's facing a living person.

Shi Yin!
After a long struggle, he finally managed to draw his sword.The reason he can do this is because their data gap is not that big.Since Long Xiangtian was equipped with several growth items, his data growth was limited to a certain extent.

Click!Click!click
When their swords collided, there was a dull sound.

Darius had tried his best to block the sword, but there seemed to be an invisible force oppressing his whole body, making it difficult for him to even move normally.

结果
puff!
He failed to avoid Long Xiangtian's attacking fist.

When Darius was beaten to the ground, the mercenaries who had been watching couldn't help gossiping with each other, with incredible expressions on their faces.

My God, Darius.
What happened?

Darius is a formidable character in Randymhaven.

He is the number one mercenary and will trample anyone who tries to confront him.It was for this reason that he got the nickname Gray Wolf.

However, this duel has been so one-sided, because he was easily defeated by a handsome young man.Trembling like a conscripted coward, he joined the battlefield against his will.

Ah, I think I managed to win some.

As Long Xiangtian said, he put his foot on Darius' head.

Seeing his performance, Erica couldn't help clapping her hands excitedly.

It's amazing.You can take down my strongest mercenaries without breaking a sweat.

Did I pass your test?

Of course, oh, and can you let Darius go, there are a lot of people watching.

of course can.

At Erica's request, Long Xiangtian withdrew his demon energy.

Ha ha ha ha
When Darius struggled to catch his breath, he immediately retreated.

If you have time, I would like to chat with you.

Then come back to the mansion with me.

Erika held out her hand, asking to be escorted.Her expression was obvious, she wanted to draw Long Xiangtian to her side.

Sure enough, as I expected.

He thought she would be interested in something related to demons.

True businessmen can do whatever it takes to make a profit, but most will draw a line by selling their souls.

When it comes to negotiations, I'm pretty confident.

She doesn't give up her valuables easily, so it's important to gain the upper hand before starting any negotiations.

Long Xiangtian watched Erica walking gracefully, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Are there other conditions?
"."

Hearing Long Xiangtian's question, Erica couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Just what does he want?
His purpose must be there, but he did not show his cards so easily.It's all about making the other person impatient.

Erica put on her best smirk, because she didn't think he was an easy opponent at all.

I have to say, you are quite a unique person.I really don't know what you are interested in, can you be more specific.

She heard that demons generally require a soul when signing a contract.However, Long Xiangtian did not express any interest in items related to the soul, and rejected any luxury and extravagant rewards she proposed.

This is the first time she has seen such a man.

This only shows that she must be more cautious.Unless he wants to make a deal, he won't come all the way here.

The only thing in this world, you can say it is priceless.The last thing you want to give me.

This is a bit difficult, give me a moment to think about it.

He's a nice guy to play guessing games at times like this.

Erica thought about what Long Xiangtian said, and then showed a surprised expression.

Did he know about it?

Her father's family heirloom, which she has kept secret in a secure warehouse.Erica has kept its existence a secret since it was written in her father's will.

If that's what he wants to ask for.

Then what should I do?
He was too strong for her to be his enemy.She was going to draw him to her no matter what, but her father's will made her feel guilty about using it.

While Erica was sitting there worrying, Long Xiangtian spoke up.

You don't seem to have what I want.

That one
Maybe I should visit Sebastian instead, I've heard he has a lot of rare art.

He threatened to join the opposing faction and belong to Kalis.He threatened to join the opposing faction and belong to Kalis.

When Long Xiangtian stood up and walked towards the door, Erica quickly caught up and grabbed his wrist.

etc!I have something you might like!
This is related to the fate of her entire business school, she can't never forget this kind of antique.

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Long Xiangtian smiled in his heart.

caught you.

Now all that remains is to identify this treasure.

***
Colorful rainbow ring - handmade formula].

Type: Personal Items
Effect.A scroll that allows you to create rainbow rings of seven colors.The required materials are (1. Gem of the Lizardman Elder, 2. Bronze Mirror of Medusa, 3. Dark Breath of Hydra, 4. Fire Heart of Cerberus, 5. Curse of Arachne, 6. Lich King's Dark Crystal, 7. Argos' Ice Heart.)
Now I'm sure.

To prevent encountering fakes, he used an archaeologist's golden magnifying glass, which can be used to assess the authenticity of an item.

This is his special reward for becoming the first Golden Delicious.

Seeing that Long Xiangtian was satisfied, Erica, who was still standing in front of the vault, asked.

Do you agree with our contract?

agree.

Although it was impossible for Erica to prevent him from leaving, he still worried about Edward-teach.

A man who would use his fleet to plunder up and down the coast, there's no reason to keep such a man alive.

If you're okay, you can move into my mansion.

I have my own place tonight.

He has decided to support Erica, so he must find out everything about the enemy as soon as possible.

After a few more pleasantries, Long Xiangtian left.

The sun was about to set.

It was a good time to act, and under cover of night, at least he thought it was a pirate's idea.

When Long Xiangtian was busy investigating in a desolate alley, a ragged street boy walked up to him and shouted excitedly.

I found some suspicious people!
where is it?
In the Artisan District!

take me there.

Long Xiangtian followed the boy to the west side of the artisan district.

After arriving at the destination, Long Xiangtian saw a group of thugs with bad expressions.

They may be guards.

Their hiding place must be nearby.

After throwing a silver coin to the boy, Long Xiangtian took the time to understand the guards' shift pattern and patrol situation.

Is it there?

A three-story building.Looks like an artisan warehouse that has been abandoned for a while.

Long Xiangtian slipped in cautiously, equipped with his banshee veil.

did you bring something

There was some delay due to the storm at sea.

A discussion about smuggled items.As he guessed, they were probably a group of pirates.

Long Xiangtian kicked the door open, and then quickly put them into limbo.

Bah! Bah!
Agger!

SA. Help me
They were helpless because they couldn't see him at all.

He didn't take off the banshee's veil until he finished dealing with all the guards who heard the sound and asked those who were still conscious.

Are you Blackbeard's men?

No no, we are part of the Wrath of the Sea Serpent.

When the pirate denied it, Long Xiangtian checked the guy's tattoo.

That is indeed the symbol of the Barbarossa Pirates, a scimitar with two snakes intertwined.

interesting.

The battle was now more complicated than he had expected.

While recalling what happened in the past, Long Xiangtian took out his Jack pocket watch.From the interrogation of the Barbarossa pirates, he learned a lot.

They were just the vanguard sent by Captain Luo, because Captain Luo discovered some abnormal behaviors of Blackbeard.

They've been investigating here for a while, but haven't made any progress as they haven't had any contact within the city.

They rushed here without planning and were oppressed by local forces.

The deep-sea vortex headed by Blackbeard must have cooperated with the faction of the merchant Calis.

This is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the collapse of Wrath of the Sea Serpent in the past.

Call for reinforcements quickly.

After knowing all the situation, Long Xiangtian had already returned to the inn and released Dirk's pirates.

Only after they go to sea can they get in touch with their fleet.

Boss, is this place going to become a battlefield?

On this continent, there is no so-called safe zone.

A world full of endless trials, though raised by the Creator.In such a place, heaven cannot exist.

Long Xiangtian led his team, and now they were in a panic all day long, they explored every corner of the city.

Dad, Ali used to live in the desert.

I know.

The only one keeping it easy is Leah.She giggled while continuing to chat with Ari.

This is one of her dragon abilities, which allow her to communicate with animals.

Seeing Lia being held in Lefina's arms, Aris spoke.

Asura, do you want me to investigate first?
Be careful and don't get caught.

of course yes.

Even though she is weaker than before, she is still the Demon Lord after all.

She shouldn't have any problem sneaking into Callis' estate.In fact, the only reason he hadn't sent her out to kill Sebastian yet was because he still had to elicit his real target, Edward-Teacher.

When everything is settled, it's not too late to deal with Sebastian.

When Aris disappeared into the shadows.

Boss, there are some suspicious-looking characters over there.

Li Zaicheng walked over, and he pointed to an alley hidden in the corner.

Long Xiangtian turned his head and nodded to him, he was equipped with the banshee's veil.

Wait for me here.

of course can.

Since his team is small in size, it is not difficult to manage.

As he stepped into the alley, he heard the voice of a drunk.

Phew~ until when will we stay here? "

I'm also curious, can't our current numbers defeat them?

Not your average small talk.

Long Xiangtian honed what they said, while trying to hide his existence as much as possible.

I wanted to grab Erica quickly and play with her all night.Her body is just the type I like.

Wake up from your delusions, Arthur, if she is captured alive, the captain must be interested in her.

Once he gets tired of her, won't he hand her over to us.Of course, when the captain finishes handling her, she will become a damaged product.

Given the context, it seems likely that the captain they're talking about is Blackbeard.

his real goal.

However, he couldn't make mistakes, trying to catch these small fish while letting the big fish escape.

He'd better gather some information before warning them.

I hope he arrives soon so I can at least smell Erica's perfume.

You seem too infatuated with her.There are plenty of women out there, so just forget about her and go have some fun in the Lamp District.

ha!Damn, if I had known, I would have saved some money and come back again.

The man who had been fantasizing about Erica patted his empty pocket.

Then, one of their comrades handed over a few silver coins.

let's go together.Long time no play.

Oh, why are you so generous all of a sudden?
It's not free, as long as I pay back some interest in the future.

It sounds like the pirates are headed to the red light district.

Although supposedly undercover, they seem to take it easy.

Letting them go like this is a waste.

As Blackbeard's subordinates, they would surely know something useful.Given that their captain's ship hasn't arrived yet, it sounds like a good time to take them out.

Pooh!Pooh!
Long Xiangtian knocked them all out in a few strokes.

Then he gave some instructions to the group, and Li Zaicheng quickly covered them with bags.

Let's go to Erica's mansion.

He now had some evidence to show Erica.Once she knows Blackbeard's role in this conspiracy, she'll likely reach out to Sea Serpent's Wrath in order to draw them to her side.

Before I leave, I need to make sure Erica's position is secure.

Building a good relationship with a large trading company will be very helpful for his future plans.This is the main reason why he didn't hypnotize or threaten Erica.He hopes to cultivate a good relationship, because it is beneficial to long-term development, even if it takes a little more time.

While leading the team, Long Xiangtian was thinking about what kind of gift Erica would like.

As he expected, Erica was quite surprised by the news.She knew Callis was involved in some shady dealings, but not that he had an affair with pirates.

After completing the interrogation in her presence until both parties were satisfied, Long Xiangtian used his Lost Piano on the two pirates, erasing any memory of their encounter.

He worried that Blackbeard would notice that several of his men were missing.

Hiring you was a good idea after all.

Erica exhaled deeply, relieved.

Watching out the window, her eyes followed the hypnotized pirates as they left the compound.

You must be very worried.

Of course, in this city, there are too few people I can trust.

A society that operates solely on profit.

Erica used her father's wealth to become a businessman in order to survive here as a child.

She doesn't want to be like the other girls in the Lamp District

Since you look lonely, I'll give you a nice present.

Long Xiangtian handed Ali who he put in the bag to her, which made Erica's eyes widen in surprise.

Wow. Is this a desert fox?

If you keep it with you, at least it can stay with you.

Anna Song and Liya might be sad, but he couldn't keep a pet with him all the time.

Impressing Erica while finding a new owner for Ari is killing two birds with one stone.

It's super cute, I love it.

Erica stroked Ali's hair and smiled lovingly.Ali seemed to like her too, because he squealed with joy.

We named him Ali, but since you are the new owner, you can call him whatever you like.

Ali is a nice name.I think I'll stick with it.

Erica smiled at Long Xiangtian.

This is not her usual business smile, but a smile that is full of warmth and comes directly from the heart.

Just as she was steadily approaching Long Xiangtian, someone knocked on the door.

knock on the door knock on the door
Erica, your car is ready.

I'll be right there.

Erica couldn't help being a little angry, her mood ruined.

Where are you going?
The Jeweler's Guild in the Artisan Quarter.We just finalized a new deal.

Then I'll take you there.

After all, Long Xiangtian was employed by Erica's Merchant Association and was a special mercenary.

Darius, the gray wolf is absent today because of their battle injury, so he will replace him.

this is a good idea.

Erica hugged Long Xiangtian tightly and said with a smile.

After walking out of the mansion, there was a black carriage waiting for them.

Come and sit next to me.

As a special mercenary, he had to stick close to Erica.

When Long Xiangtian stepped into the car, the driver groom spurred the horse.
