[Western Fantasy] Cardinal's Life Goal

Ivan stopped in his tracks: "Did you hear... any sound?"

His team froze, raising their weapons warily—but too slowly.Fiery light passed through the shadows of the trees, reflecting on their suddenly stiffened faces.The air seemed to be injected with tens of millions of tons of emulsified liquid that was about to solidify. Those team members were unable to move, and even had difficulty breathing.

Only Ivan can move.

But fear was already close to him, completely blocking his retreat—a young man walked out from the shadow of the tree with a dagger in his hand. He was wearing a long coat and a hood, and his face was completely engulfed by the shadows.Behind him is dark green, shallow sunlight, and a majestic aura.

The young man walked forward nimbly, and the team members fell one after another where he passed.He knocked the last person unconscious with the back of his knife, then stopped and looked over.

The boy's head slowly lifted, revealing a mask.

A terrified scream rolled in Ivan's throat, but it was blocked by something so that it could not come out at all.He could only open his mouth and silently shout out the frenzied name in his memory.

--flour.

——It turned out to be white noodles!

--Why is he here?

Delin frowned slightly, still wondering why Sears was wearing his mask, and was even more troubled by this pretentious way of appearing on the stage-but the Lord God Envoy said that it is not easy to hold, and at last It's a good shock to let this guy hand it over by himself.

The word shock...was that how it was used in the first place?But it looks good.

Delin thought as he walked over.He controlled the speed of his steps, striving to bring more oppression to Ivan.Then the boy bent down slightly, and with his left hand lifted the chin of the guy who was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

"Hand over." Delin suppressed his voice hoarsely, as if there were gravel in his throat, "Hand over that thing."

Ivan was trembling—the huge pressure made him tremble all over.He was convinced that he couldn't defeat the famous killer in the Flame Tavern, but the mission...

Mission, to a base thief, is but a thing as throwable as their credit.

Without hesitation, Ivan touched a warm coin from his pocket—because he had been carefully playing with it, there were even a little sweat stains on the coin.Ivan trembled, gritted his teeth and took out the coin.But something hit him.From within Ivan's body, those energies suddenly surged crazily, as if they were going to force him to explode.Ivan was stunned, he subconsciously wanted to put the coin back, but Delin had already noticed something was wrong.

The boy reached out and quickly snatched the hot coin - holding it in his hand.Ivan had no time to worry about other things, the terrible pain engulfed him, and the energy like a poisonous snake emerged from the shadow somewhere in his body, rampaging.

- you are betraying you are betraying you are betraying...

The voice from Getrow exploded in his mind, Ivan tightly covered his ears, his eyes were bloodshot.He was twitching constantly, uttering a name with hatred: "Getro..."

……

A pair of arms pulled the surprised Delin back into the bushes.

Sears took him to flee far away, until the two found a boulder that could serve as a shelter.He reached out and pulled off the mask on the young man, and then put the cloak into the magic weapon.

"...What is that?" Delin looked at the envoy in shock.

"Ivan's family is a famous family of thieves." Sears wiped away the aura of the curse that the young man had just acquired with his divine power, and explained earnestly: "The task Gertrow entrusted to him is probably to steal from other teams." Take this thing and escort him somewhere."

"Can't you just hand it over to Gertrude?" Delin wondered.

Sears smoothed the boy's hair that was raised by the cloak: "I guess there is a limit. We regard this place as a game battlefield as they describe it. A key is required for entry, and each team is limited. One. But Gerthro has a special request - he needs more keys, for this purpose, he invites Ivan to steal the keys, and asks him to join in as a member of the game." See the boy nodded Expressing his understanding, the envoy continued: "But Ivan's character is not enough for him to trust. In order to ensure that the key will not be sold by Ivan backhanded, Gertro cast a curse on Ivan."

"If Ivan discovers the effect of the covenant, he will probably hide the key tightly with his temperament that is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Delin pursed his lips, and suddenly remembered something: "Will Gertro feel the words that touch the covenant?"

"Yes." Sears breathed a sigh of relief, "He can still see who stole his key—fortunately, we were careful enough to leave no trace—but, yes." His tone changed, suddenly He became serious, "I have used your identity as 'white face', for the sake of safety, I will not let you go to the Flame Tavern."

Delin's eyes widened: "...how do you know?"

Thinking of this incident, Sears was a little angry.He pinched the boy's face, and said forcefully, "Zhuo is a member of our family's gray organization."

Not more than ten minutes after Delin and Sears left, Getrow, Chunka and others came here.

Getrow's expression is ugly.He looked at the boy who had fallen to the ground, and the dying Ivan with blood on the corner of his mouth, he knelt down and turned them over completely himself.But expectations were dashed - the important coin had been taken.

Chunka glanced at the red marks on the backs of those people's necks calmly, and wiped away the knife wounds with demon power.

——Little idiot Delin, the marks made by his strange blade are easy to see, okay?

The next moment, the civilian boy squatted down and turned over: "The scars are damaged, so they can't be used as clues." There were no footprints on the ground either—Derlin was very light, and he used special steps to avoid this problem.

Getrow stood up with a pale face.He kicked the unconscious Ivan with his feet, and muttered something.The golden divine light flickered in his palm, and then floated up into the air, turning into a screen.

Chunka was shocked.

In the next second, a person appeared on the screen.

He was tightly covered, with a long coat and a hood.The weapon in his hand was blurred and difficult to distinguish in the surrounding divine light.He came from a distance, as if under the fire of hell, and then he bent down, and the frame was focused on his face.

The person who came was wearing a white mask.

He said, "Hand over—hand over that thing, hand over."

The noble girl behind Getrow was standing far away in fear, but suddenly became excited when she saw this scene. "This is White Flour," she said, "Flame Tavern's White Flour. A well-known Slayer in Arena circles—"

"Gear?" Getrow looked thoughtfully at the fanatical girl, "I've never seen him before..." What if the Gear Organization hadn't discovered his intentions and punished him for his foul?It does seem to be the style of this group of guys.

"It's a mysterious person who just appeared recently—everyone wanted to invite him to the party, but unfortunately he was rejected." The noble girl smiled softly, "It is said that in a certain circle, the price of white noodles is also very expensive. Is it high?"

A certain circle... Getrow's heart moved.He made up his mind, let's talk about the key.But this matter, you can find a way to let the Bran family carry it.

The boy next to Tiss is called Delin, right?It seems to be so tall and thin, although the divine power is not as powerful as this, there are still some loopholes.but--

Who cares.

After Delin and Sears settled their lunch with tree berries, they found a big tree to rest.In order to confirm that the two of them were not discovered by Gertrude, they had to spend the whole morning carefully, and they are already a little tired now.

Durling lay in Sears' arms, playing with the coin.

The silver coin is made of secret silver. Although it is only two fingers wide and extremely thin, it is very heavy.The surface of the silver coin is not the Immortal Roland or the Eye of the Dragon that are commonly seen on common coins, but a delicate gear.Silver coins are not ordinary flat carvings, but reliefs.The gear was heavily dug out for emphasis, and the edges of the gear were extraordinarily finely engraved, and there were even pits on the surface that looked worn.It looks as if a beautiful old gear was thrown into the silver surface and solidified.

It also contains the usual method of gear organization - light and shadow.

Flipping the silver coin, a beam of light shines on the silver coin, and a number "4" is printed.

Sears hugged the boy tightly, and squinted to see what the coin looked like—it had 24 teeth in total.

Sears said softly: "This is probably the last key." The envoy grabbed Delin's hand and stroked the edge of the gear, "There are 26 teeth in total, but according to what they said, entering this underground forest There is probably another team. The maximum number of people in a team is six, and this key can be used by a team."

Delin pursed his lips: "Two of the teams are members of the third vein...Are we at a disadvantage?"

"No." Sears smiled. "Our hidden allies are enough to deal with those guys."

Speaking of it-pure card, emerald green.Those guys with amazing force values ​​are all involved, right?Sears sighed: Delin and I were just wandering around here like blind men... It seems that the power of the family is still too weak.
