Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 18 Clues to Simon's Heritage
Blaney was filled with deep contempt and disdain for the Assassin's Guild. These people had the audacity to teach others a lesson with the so-called "order", but in fact, it was they themselves who could do whatever they wanted and act recklessly for a few gold coins. This behavior was really disgusting.
She knew very well that the superior secret manuals owned by the Assassin's Guild had unparalleled power, covering almost all the essence of martial arts.
They even showed extreme contempt and disdain for the precious skills passed down from generation to generation in ancient families.
However, if you want to learn the unique skills of the Assassin's Guild, you not only need to join this mysterious and dangerous organization, but also complete a series of difficult tasks and earn a huge fortune for it before you are eligible to access the real superior secrets!
The reason is simple: the current world order happens to fit their interests, so they are so active in maintaining and supporting it.
But once they encounter rules or orders that are unfavorable to them, the Assassin's Guild will throw them behind their backs without hesitation and completely ignore them. In the final analysis, they are just a group of profit-seeking people!
Therefore, facing the leaders of the assassin's guild in front of her, Blaney said bluntly: "Boss, I just want the hunter's superior secret book now, please just name a price! There is no need for us to waste time here talking about those empty principles..." Her tone was firm and resolute, leaving no room for bargaining for the other party.
These words caused all the leaders to burst into laughter: "Noble families are well-educated and know everything about the world. I think we can take over this deal and immediately find out who has the secret book you want. So, miss, please go back and we can discuss the deal after we have the information."
Seeing that the Assassin's Guild had taken the business, Blaney didn't waste any more time and returned to the inn to wait for news.
She temporarily stayed in Ankola City to wait for news. She was sent back by the Assassin's Guild, so she spent her time reading in the hotel.
A magician's core ability is knowledge, and reading widely is the basic skill accumulated over time.
The Assassin's Guild is a world-famous, huge chain organization spanning the globe, with its own unique and extremely efficient communication system.
With this communication system, they can spread all kinds of information quickly and widely. This mission is to find a suitable family to inherit the secret book in the whole country and even in a wider area.
However, these selected families have specific requirements - they cannot be too powerful, so as not to increase the difficulty and cost of acquisition; and preferably they are once glorious but now declining aristocratic families. Because in this way, they can be acquired at a relatively low price, and then resold at a high price with a little operation, thus earning huge profits.
Of course, if they really can't find a qualified target through normal means, the Assassin's Guild will never give up. They will not hesitate to choose to steal or send top masters to plunder directly.
In short, as long as there are clients willing to bid for the commission, there is nothing impossible for the Assassin Organization. No matter how deep the target is hidden or how tight the defense is, they will do everything they can to take it down.
In the following days, I took time to read a few books. My daily schedule was organized into study and regular meditation to enter deep thinking, which was no different from when I was in the magic academy.
About ten days later, several businessmen came to see Miss Blainey. After the front desk sent someone to inform them, they were invited into the room. The businessman sent his entourage to guard the door...
As soon as the two sides met, Blainey smiled and said, "You are..."
"Don't be nervous, we are from the organization and we are here to have further conversation."
"Is there news so soon? I would like to know more about it. Please tell me in detail, elder."
"We have collected intelligence from all over the country, and there are about ten sets of complete hunter secrets for potential families. After screening, we found three families that have hidden superior secrets. If the lady wants them, the starting price is 100,000 gold coins, and you can decide when to pay and when to take action..."
"No problem. I believe in the credibility of your organization. You can take the 100,000 gold coins with you later."
"Oh, straightforward. I like to do business with big customers and don't bargain!"
Blainey: "I know you have powerful intelligence. It would take me forever to investigate something. Besides, if I try to bargain with you, I'm worried that you would pass off inferior goods as good ones and muddle through."
"You're right. The money we earn is undoubtedly from dangerous work. The more money we make, the more people are willing to work hard, and the better the job will be done. Dear lady, have you heard of Simon, the hunting god from eight hundred years ago?"
"I'm sorry, I don't seem to have any impression. Hunting God? It's not a casual title!"
At this moment, the bearded, burly man next to him slowly stretched out his hand, as if he was holding a rare treasure. He slowly fumbled out an old and mysterious book from his broad arms and gently handed it to Blaney.
The novel looked like it had gone through many years, and the yellowed pages revealed a strong historical atmosphere. It was like an ancient secret that had been sleeping for a long time, waiting to be awakened. Bryony took the book curiously, and his eyes first fell on the cover.
The cover was made of fine sheepskin, with gorgeous patterns and lines carefully drawn on it. These patterns were like lively musical notes, jumping on the sheepskin, exuding a unique artistic charm. The hot stamping and gold inlaying techniques made the entire cover look particularly sophisticated and luxurious, as if telling of the glorious past.
At just one glance, Bryony concluded that this must be a precious item from the previous dynasty - a well-made and highly collectible version! She carefully looked at the title of the book - "The Legend of Simon the Hunting God", and couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation for the unknown story. Perhaps in that distant period of history, there really was such a legendary figure...
"Elder, what is the meaning of showing this book to me?"
"Haha, Simon's direct lineage is still alive in the western province of Quaker, so the Simon Legacy is the most valuable. Now the Simon family began to decline hundreds of years ago, and has never produced any outstanding generals. The Hunter's Secret Book can only be put aside for their family. Without talent, the secret book is useless, so I wonder if the lady is interested."
Blayney: "I don't have the right of family inheritance, but fortunately I was successfully promoted to a magician. According to the imperial law, I automatically have the status of baron, so it is very beneficial for me to master a high-value knight inheritance. I also need to organize an armed force to do things for me, so if the thing is real, I will take it."
"Miss Magician, if you set up your own business, it will be very difficult and it will affect your time for practice. It is definitely not a wise move. As far as I know, most female magicians choose marriage to solve the problem of supporting their practice. If you still worry about the materials for practice, you will probably not be able to become a great magician."
"Your organization is well-informed, and what you said is very wise. But no matter how strong a woman is, she is always a vassal of a man, and in the end, nothing belongs to her. This girl wants to change her way of life and make a career for herself. I am not very interested in spiritual practice. After I get the title of magician, I will first build a family business, and then focus on spiritual practice when I have free time..."
Simon's inheritance is a good start. With the secret book, you can recruit a large number of talents to work for you. The industry needs people to do it. Without the secret book and a strong family background, nothing can be achieved.
