"I'm Lu Ming."

Lu Ming briefly introduced himself and continued to ask questions about Arya.

Lilith did not dare to hide anything and told Lu Ming everything she knew without reservation.

"I am a member of the largest assassin organization in the Magic Continent, and I am responsible for the affairs of the city where the Halls School of Magic is located."

"This time I came here to investigate the deaths of four members of the organization."

At this point, there was a hint of nervousness in Lilith's voice.

She understood that the four people who were chasing Arya had been killed by the young man in front of her.

Hearing this, Lu Ming frowned slightly and thought secretly in his heart.

Lilith continued to explain.

"This mission was issued by headquarters and is an internal high-level confidential mission."

Lilith's voice was heavy. "The mission only states that Arya is an ordinary manager of the Charles family. If any branch encounters Arya, they can use any means to assassinate her. Only high-level magicians and those below can be used. We cannot let anyone know that we are the work of a killer organization."

When Lu Ming heard this, he was filled with doubts.

"Then why does your assassin organization want to kill Alia?" Lu Ming asked, with a gleam in his eyes.

Lilith shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"We subordinates only know how to carry out missions. As for the purpose and background of the missions, they are usually decided by the top management." There was a hint of helplessness in Lilith's voice.

After hearing what Lilith said, Lu Ming fell into deep thought.

Obviously, the top leaders of the killer organization deliberately concealed the truth, so the people below did not know Arya's true identity.

Otherwise, once people knew that Arya was a core member of the Charles family, let alone whether anyone would dare to accept the task, even if someone accepted it, the reward would definitely not be at this price. Perhaps the great magician and the mage would not be able to resist the temptation and take action.

However, the mission restrictions only allow those below the level of high-level magicians to take action. It is obvious that there are some concerns and they want to act low-key and not attract the attention of major forces.

At the same time, Arya was able to avoid being hunted down time and time again. There must be other forces secretly protecting her, but these forces may have been restrained, so they have never appeared.

It can be seen from this that there are two super powers, or even more powers, playing a game around Arya.

Lu Ming was somewhat shocked by this, but he did not show it.

If all the speculations were true, Arya's affairs were beyond Lu Ming's ability to deal with.

Maybe magicians and higher-level beings are involved.

Fortunately, he acted decisively and killed all the killers without leaking the news.

Today, Lilith unexpectedly conquered it without any prior preparation.

Otherwise, if his affairs were known to the killer organization, it would definitely attract attention and attract even more powerful enemies.

So Lu Ming calmed down, didn't explain anything, and gave up the idea of ​​keeping Lilith by his side.

As a leader of a killer organization, if Lilith followed him, it would be too conspicuous and it would be hard not to attract attention.

Moreover, Lilith is in a high position of power. If she were to go missing, it would definitely attract more powerful people of a higher level to investigate.

So it would be better to let her go back and continue to control the branch of the killer organization for Lu Ming's use.

This way you get greater value.

Lu Ming looked at Lilith, a gleam in his eyes.

"Lilith, I allow you to go back, but you must remember that from now on, everything you have belongs to me. Your branch will also serve me."

There was unquestionable majesty in Lu Ming's voice. He wanted to make sure Lilith would not betray him.

Lilith was shocked when she heard this. She knew that from this moment on, her fate was closely linked to Lu Ming's.

"Yes, Master." There was a hint of determination in Lilith's voice.

She knew that she had no way out.

She bowed deeply to show that she would keep her promise.

Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction and let him leave. He also pretended nothing had happened and quickly returned to the Magic Academy.

Lu Ming was cautious along the way, constantly thinking about Arya.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble for himself, Lu Ming made up his mind to stay away from this woman in the future.

With his current strength, he would be in danger of falling if he was not careful.

When he is unable to act on his own, he does not want to get involved in the disputes among the major forces in the magical continent.

At the same time, Lu Ming felt the urgency to further improve his strength.

If he hadn't looted Shadow City and obtained a large number of treasures, he would have had no ability to protect himself if he encountered something like Lilith.

With a heavy heart, Lu Ming returned to the dormitory.

Before he sat down, he received a letter from Selina sent by magic, asking him to meet.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Lu Ming fell into deep thought.

Ever since returning from the Forest of Warcraft, Selina has been busy helping to deal with the capture of Shadow City.

To this end, Selina and the academy sent several senior magicians and joined other forces to provide assistance.

Now that she is done with her work, she is back.

Contacted Lu Ming immediately.

Obviously, Selina was looking for him anxiously at this time because of the Shadow City matter.

When Shadow City fell, he and the other party took the opportunity to return and plunder.

Now we are all on the same boat.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming decided to keep the appointment.

……

Outside the dormitory, the moon was dark, the wind was strong, and everything was quiet. It was already late at night.

Lu Ming tiptoed out of the dormitory and cautiously came to the woods behind the college. It was a dense forest, and the moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, making it seem particularly quiet and mysterious.

And in this quietness, Selina was standing quietly, as if blending into the night.

Selina has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Lu Ming's figure appear in front of her, she immediately looked around vigilantly, carefully observing whether there were other people following them.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around her, she breathed a sigh of relief, but still remained highly vigilant.

In such a tense atmosphere, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. The two of them were so sneaky, just like a couple on a secret date. He couldn't help but chuckle and said teasingly: "Teacher, we are a bit like..."

However, before Lu Ming could finish his words, he was interrupted by Selina.

"Don't talk nonsense! We don't have time to joke around now." Selina's little face flushed, and she glared at him fiercely, then her expression became serious, as if telling Lu Ming that what they were going to talk about next was very important.

"Thanks to the unremitting efforts of all the major forces, the goblin army suffered heavy losses and was driven back into the forest again, and Shadow City was also recaptured."

At this point, Selina's voice was filled with a hint of relief. After a pause, she continued, "Of course, the major forces will not work in vain. The reason they help is that Shadow City is an important city close to the Warcraft Forest, with rich products and many resources."

"Before helping, an agreement was reached to redistribute the city's interests."

"From now on, the city will still be managed by the city defense army, but in reality, the city's tax revenue, rental income from some shops, etc. will be shared among all the major forces."

Lu Ming nodded, feeling that everything made sense.

Then, Selina's expression became serious and she continued, "After we recaptured the city, we found that all the shops and the treasury of the city lord's mansion had been looted."

“Everyone is shocked and angry about this!”

"Because the matter is too strange and the lost treasure is too valuable, all major forces are investigating together."

“Fortunately, the final result was nothing.”

Selina's voice was filled with fear, worry, and some relief.

Because Selina was involved in the looting.

When the major forces were investigating, she was mixed in with the crowd and felt a little guilty and uneasy.

At the same time, I was also very shocked.

When she and Lu Ming returned to Shadow City to loot treasures, time was tight, and coupled with the limited space in her storage bag and the fact that many places were protected by magic arrays, she didn't loot much.

Compared to the entire Shadow City, it is only a small part.

But unexpectedly, the entire Shadow City has been emptied out now.

She found it incredible.

At that time, her first reaction was to suspect that Lu Ming had done it.

But I quickly dismissed the idea.

Because in her opinion, Lu Ming might be very talented, but his strength was too weak.

Not to mention anything else, just the magic circle in the City Lord’s Mansion’s treasury cannot be opened without a great magician or mage.

Moreover, if one wants to empty the entire city of treasures in a short period of time without being discovered, one needs a space item of at least the best grade to hold them.

Such a treasure is so precious that it is definitely not something Lu Ming can possess.

So considering these things, although Selina was also very confused, she gave up the idea of ​​doubting Lu Ming.

She believed that after she and Lu Ming left, other powerful people with the same idea as them sneaked in and searched the place again.

Or the goblin army will return and take away the treasures.

Anyway, no matter what, Selina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that all the major forces joined forces and failed to find the murderer.

After staying in Shadow City for a few days in fear, she found a suitable reason and returned to the Magic Academy.

I waited until the news came and took the initiative to contact Lu Ming today.

The reason why Selina wanted to tell Lu Ming all this in person was, on the one hand, for safety reasons, to prevent being eavesdropped, and on the other hand, to let Lu Ming not worry. Basically, the matter had been covered up.

She knew very well that although the matter of Shadow City seemed to have been settled, there might still be many unknown crises hidden behind it.

Therefore, she had to communicate with Lu Ming in person to ensure that he understood the situation and avoid unnecessary risks.

"Lu Ming, even though the incident has passed, you still need to keep a low profile. You don't need to sell the treasures you obtained to others for the time being. Otherwise, if someone finds out, you will still be in trouble."

There was a hint of seriousness in Selina's voice. She knew that although Lu Ming's actions in Shadow City had not been exposed for the time being, once they were known to others, the consequences would be disastrous.

She hoped that Lu Ming could stay alert and not get into bigger trouble because of his momentary complacency.

Lu Ming nodded carefully to show that he understood.

He understood that Selina's reminder was crucial and he couldn't destroy everything he had worked so hard to get because of a momentary impulse.

Just as Selina was about to leave, she unexpectedly discovered that Lu Ming had reached the level of a junior magician.

"Lu Ming, what's wrong with you..." Selina's voice was full of surprise. She stared at Lu Ming in front of her with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

"How come your strength has improved so quickly?"

She murmured to herself, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Facing Selina's question, Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Teacher, I don't actually have any special methods, I just have better luck. When I was in Shadow City, I accidentally got some treasures, which helped me break through the bottleneck, so I can make such progress now."

There was a hint of humility in Lu Ming's voice, but at the same time it also revealed a kind of confidence, attributing everything to luck and the opportunities of Shadow City.

Although he and Selina were in the same boat, Lu Ming knew that Selina must not be informed of the matter regarding the Undead Godhead, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Selina did not continue to ask, she understood that everyone has their own secrets, as a mentor, she did not need to interfere too much with the privacy of students.

Moreover, she was very pleased with Lu Ming's growth, because his growth rate far exceeded her expectations.

"You are simply a monster!" Selina said with a hint of pride. She looked at Lu Ming deeply and said, "Your talent has surpassed mine. Maybe you can really make the Undead rise in the Magic Continent in the future."

Her words revealed her expectations for Lu Ming's future, as if she saw the birth of a great magician.

"Okay, under your encouragement, I have also decided to go back and practice in seclusion. You should work hard! If there is anything important, you can come to me at any time."

"Okay, teacher. I will try my best."

Lu Ming smiled, and after saying goodbye, they both left.
