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

There was a mysterious reliability in his words.

Cui Kaiyin stared at him for a while before speaking again.

Why do you care so much about me?

What do you mean?
There is no need for him to spend money on her, nor is there any need for her to pretend to be a noble from the Rhine Kingdom.

Long Xiangtian is the monarch of the Rhine Kingdom.

In this city, there was no problem in proving his identity. Even if he approached the earl as a mercenary, he still had the right to bargain, because the leader of the Blue Eagle Mercenary Group guaranteed his skills.

Consider it an investment.

Do I have that much value?

Of course there are.

Long Xiangtian nodded. He sat on a chair and stared at Cui Kaixuan with serious eyes.

I understand that you have an extreme fear of men.You must have gone through a lot of difficult experiences.Still, if you've been operating independently, you're bound to get in trouble one day.

But what does this have to do with you?Then I will be of no use to you.

No, it's not like that.

Only by becoming the monster king can Cui Kaiyin realize his true potential and skills.

But for now, it's an impossible feat.

So she must be under his protection in order to realize her full potential.

Are you taking me to the Kingdom of the Rhine?

It's better for you too.

Long Xiangtian can do many things for Cui Kaiyin.

Not only can she live alone in a quiet place, but he can also pay for her living expenses, as well as funds for taming and raising monsters.

In return, Long Xiangtian hoped that Cui Kaiyin could cooperate.

She must use her monsters to contribute to the peacekeeping of the kingdom.

is it possible?I've barely tamed 30 monsters so far.

Do not worry.Time is not an issue for us.

Considering that no one has reached the throne for 40 years, it will take up to 100 years to fill the empty throne.

ok, I get it.I accept your offer.

A wise choice.

However, let me keep these clothes instead.

The clothes Cui Kaien is wearing now make her very satisfied.

Long Xiangtian smiled and agreed.

That is a gift for you.Even if you sell it for money in the future, I won't care.

Thank goodness.Since it is expensive clothes, I am worried that you will take it back.

Cui Kaien breathed a sigh of relief.She got out of bed and took off her high heels.

She walked so many roads with Long Xiangtian, she was already very tired and wanted to go to bed early.

I warn you not to attack me at night because I am defenseless.I'll summon my monster right away.

Do not worry.These thoughts never crossed my mind.

Cui Kaiyin's thoughts slowly disappeared and he closed his eyes.Long Xiangtian began to talk to himself.

Fortunately I managed to convince her.

The other monarchs in the past failed to recruit her, because she had begun the monster king's reign and no longer needed their help.

But now Cui Kaiyun is an ordinary monster trainer.

No matter how much she hates people, it's hard to turn down an extremely favorable offer.

Well, he did bring her all the way here by force.

All that's left is the Shadow Killer.

Long Xiangtian had to find out how the murderer committed the murder within one day.

Fortunately, with the help of Earl Oswald, he has collected a lot of relevant information.

It can be said that the success of this mission depends entirely on his own ability.

With a firm expression on his face, Long Xiangtian began to read the documents piled up on the desk one by one.Much of the information about the Shadow Killer comes from investigators who wrote the murder report.

The main content of the file is the testimony of eyewitnesses, the results of autopsies of the victims.The conclusion of each case is the same.Not feasible.

To quote: This is definitely the work of the devil!
This is troublesome.

There are many contents, but none of them can help him find the criminal.

After reviewing all the documents piled up on the desk, Long Xiangtian sorted out the events that happened in his mind.

The first victim was the Earl of Cromwell.

He did not leave the office for two days after receiving the notice, but was eventually killed by the shadow killer.

According to the testimony of soldiers who were with him at the time, the shadow of the Earl of Cromwell began to roam free and strangled him.

It happened so suddenly that they were powerless to stop it.

The second victim was Lord Duncan.

He was seized with fear at the first notice and ran from the city.However, he was found dead two days later in a wooden cabin in the forest outside the city.

His face was shaved off by a sharp weapon, and he hung upside down facing the mirror on the wall, like one of the punishments of hell in the Book of the Dead.

The horrific incident caused confusion in Neferti, and the nobles began to tremble with fear of the murderer.

And the murders didn't stop.

Shadow Killer is a master.

Even when the target is surrounded and protected by the priest, he never fails to harvest the target's soul.And if the target escapes, he will find a way to find them and kill them.

There are currently six known victims.

If Long Xiangtian can't reveal his techniques and methods before the sun sets, Earl Oswald will become the seventh victim.

The possibility of using illusion or curse magic is very high.

He has seen many demons in the 40 years in this world before, but he has never seen a demon that can control the shadow of the other party.

Therefore, the shadow killer uses secret techniques to commit crimes.

This result is most likely the result of advanced illusion or curse spells.

Then, at any rate, I will be with Count Oswald.

In this heavily fortified city, to leave a powerful curse mark, you have to be very close to the target.

He may have completed this mission before issuing the kill notice.

After the deduction was over, Long Xiangtian went to look for Earl Oswald.

There are a few things I want to ask you about Shadow Killer.

You say it.I will answer whatever I can.

Count Oswald is lifeless because he has not slept all night.

Long Xiangtian observed his appearance for a while, then asked.

Have you ever seen a suspicious person before being notified?
Suspicious person?Not as far as I know.If I saw such a person, I would have him arrested and sentenced immediately.

Currently, in Neferti's capital, a witch hunt is underway.

They're not hunting real witches, they're condemning innocent people by accusing them of being shadow killers.

Long Xiangtian frowned while listening to Earl Oswald's words.

I see paranoia creeping in.

If he uses his undead or his demon powers in this situation, he will face the wrath of the entire kingdom of Izuna.

He can use the Jester mask to change his appearance at any time, but the problem is Cui Kaiyin.

Not only does she have the watch of an adventurer, but she is also a beast tamer.She's the perfect scapegoat.

I have no choice but to hide my strength.

an unfavorable condition.

However, he is confident that as long as the opponent is not as strong as the 72 Demon King, he will not lose.

When he calmed down, Long Xiangtian extended his hand to Earl Oswald.

With all due respect, you look like you could fall over any moment.I wish to check your situation.

Do it, do it your way.

Through Tinia's letter, the Earl knew that Long Xiangtian was a trustworthy person.

When Earl Oswald expressed his cooperation, Long Xiangtian scanned every corner of his body with the demon power in his body.

Same as I thought.

There is a brand of dark energy on his heart.

That's most likely the interconnect that connects the caster of the curse to the target.

Although he had to erase it immediately to protect Earl Oswald, he decided not to touch it.

It would be troublesome if I lost my only track of him.

If he knew his plan had failed, Shadow Killer would look elsewhere, or run away.

Therefore, it can be said that it was a wise decision made by Long Xiangtian to let Shadow Trace go and track down the criminal.

He observed the black stigmata for a while, then activated the memory pendant.

There is no harm in giving it a try.

Although the chances are very low, he can find some useful information, just like he did with Tinia and Cui Kane.It would be troublesome if I lost my only track of him.

If he knew his plan had failed, Shadow Killer would look elsewhere, or run away.

Therefore, it can be said that it was a wise decision made by Long Xiangtian to let Shadow Trace go and track down the criminal.

There is no harm in giving it a try.

Although the chances are very low, he can find some useful information, just like he did with Tinia and Cui Kane.

With the activation of the pendant, a certain scene appeared in Long Xiangtian's mind.

a dance.

In the huge hall, nobles dressed in luxurious and luxurious clothes are dancing.

It seems to be in the royal palace in the center of Neferti City.

Maybe there was a woman who piqued his interest.

Memory pendants only reveal memories that are significant to the target.

Long Xiangtian watched this scene through Earl Oswald's eyes, and a woman in a black dress came towards him.

Do you have time?
Oh, of course, ma'am.Sorry, your name is.?

amy.Amy Klein.

She has neat black hair and purple eyes, and a plump body that is at odds with her slender face.

Amy is glamorous and attracts the attention of many men around her.

I am the Earl of Oswald.If I may ask, are you looking for a dance partner?
No, I just want to chat with a handsome guy like you for a while.

Amy smiled mysteriously, and put her hand on the Earl's chest.

A rather obvious beauty.

However, Earl Oswald has been bewildered by her temptation, and is making a look about to move.

It's ugly.

While watching the development of the situation, Long Xiangtian clicked his tongue.

At this time, the woman's ring caught his attention.

Um?That is
A somewhat familiar pattern.

Long Xiangtian flipped through his memory, remembering what the pattern meant, when he found it, he was stunned.

Witchcraft].

A group of fanatics whose goal is Lilith's return.

They burned towns and villages, performed evil rituals, and mercilessly slaughtered innocent people.

Amy is one of the executors of this cult.

She was definitely the one who made her mark on Earl Oswald's heart.

It is an honor to have Ms. Amy's attention.How about we find a quiet place to sit down and talk calmly?
Unfortunately, time does not allow me to join you.I must go home soon, my lord.

Amy shook her head, looking sad.

Amy and Earl Oswald exchanged a few more words, and then she took his leave.

Nice to meet you.I hope we can see each other again, even after the sun goes down.

Without a doubt, ma'am.I will wait for you.

Count Oswald made a regretful look, and he kissed the back of her hand.

Amy made a mysterious smile and pressed his index finger on his chest.

I will live up to your expectations, Count Oswald.

While Earl Oswald was fascinated, she secretly branded and giggled.

However, Long Xiangtian did not miss the real intention behind her actions.

It turned out that she killed the nobles one by one like this.

All the victims, he thought now, were men.It was no surprise to him that Amy's seduction technique worked.

When he discovered the truth behind these events, Long Xiangtian withdrew from Earl Oswald's memory.

I believe, you have to take some time off.You have grown rather weak, Lord Oswald.

I see.I close my eyes and rest.

Earl Oswald put his hand on his forehead and muttered to himself.

Long Xiangtian nodded and left the office silently.

I also need to notify Cui Caien in advance.It's going to be chaotic tonight.

He needs to prepare.

Long Xiangtian walked towards the guest room while recalling the battle with the witch religion.

Amy has not been caught in the past because she uses a secret idiom among witches.

Once the interconnected brand is carved on the target, she can cast various curses on the victim, and can also affect those around her.

In other words, what the witnesses saw of the Shadow Fiend killing the victim was fake.

The victims were not strangled by their own shadows, but killed by a curse spell that Amy cast on them.

Or she may have killed them herself.

Using advanced branding, the puppeteer can restrain the target as if controlling his own puppet.

It is also possible to determine their location.

Either way, she'll be hiding close to the target and waiting, just in case something goes wrong.

While talking, Long Xiangtian looked at the sunset through the window.

It's almost time.let us start.

Will it really go according to plan?If Count Oswald dies while we're trying to capture the Witches woman.
Don't worry, she must have come alone.She must have come alone.

The barriers around Neferti have been strengthened, and ordinary cult witches cannot set foot in the city.It would be troublesome if I lost my only track of him.

If he knew his plan had failed, Shadow Killer would look elsewhere, or run away.

Therefore, it can be said that it was a wise decision made by Long Xiangtian to let Shadow Trace go and track down the criminal.
