Transmigration of the bastard lord

Tagalan, the imperial capital of the Sodia Empire, the center of power and politics, is also one of the largest human cities in the southeastern plate of the Southern Continent.

When the night falls, the city does not remain silent, but glows with a different style from the daytime——the entire Midtown is lit up, and the colorful lights flicker in an ambiguous haze, from the back of the old church to the distance The nearest street garden in the affluent area, the entire weathered area is filled with the gentle aroma that is exclusive to the night.

A black figure flashed out from behind the wooden shed area where the low-level prostitutes gathered, walked between the abandoned wine barrels and wooden boxes, passed behind the women who were ostentatiously attracting customers, and got into the twists and turns. In a winding dark alley.

"Daniel?"

A rough voice came from the ruined wooden house, and a bearded man raised the rag-like curtains on the wooden windows, and asked in a low voice in the empty dark alley.

"Ho!"

The man who made the sound suddenly looked frightened, and took half a step back into the window; a head popped out of the window strangely, scaring him quite a bit.

The shadow walker's body shook and then disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already entered the wooden house.The man who raised the curtain quickly locked the window and lowered the curtain, turned around to face the elusive guest: "Dude, next time I hope you can officially come in through the gate. Well, don't look at me like that, I'm not you guys Murderous walker, the only life I have killed is the hare I encountered while hunting... Hey, hey, can you stop checking my house every time you come to my house? This house was left to me by my father, there are only two A room with a leaky bathroom, and no basement passages to hide people from.”

While the man was nagging, Daniel had already inspected the wooden house that looked like it might go on strike at any time, and flashed back to the man, showing a wanted warrant without any nonsense.

"Let me see who the shadow walker is targeting this time... eh? Si, ​​Sig Frandi?!" The man was still muttering when he received the arrest warrant, but after seeing the portrait and name on it clearly , the man who still smelled of alcohol suddenly sobered up, and stared at Daniel as if he had seen a ghost, "Don't be like this, Daniel, this arrest warrant is nothing, it's just a joke between the dukes and young masters. It's a joke; I mean, the only ones who are wanted by the Hunter Association are the young masters of those duke families. The fights between them are always not serious, but it would be unlucky for us to get involved. "

The shadow walker standing in front of the man is covered by black light clothes; the scarf covering most of his face makes it impossible to see his face clearly, only a pair of ordinary small eyes are exposed outside.His eyes were not sharp, they could even be said to be divergent and gloomy; but just quietly looking at the bearded man who was half a head taller than him, invisibly gave the man great pressure.

"Listen to me, Daniel, I have earned a lot of information fees from you. As an old customer, I hope to maintain a long-term friendly and cooperative relationship with you. I don't want to cheat you at all. You just came from Immortal I don’t understand the situation in the imperial capital because I came here, and the second son of Grand Duke Frandi is definitely not a person to provoke here.” The bearded man chattered as soon as he spoke, and the woman with the longest tongue in the neighborhood is probably the most compatible with him. There is a common language, "I can tell you the source of this arrest warrant without taking your money - either Master Victor of the Francis family or Master Lister of the Partridge family; or His Royal Highness the prince in the royal city ...People who are a little lower can't make this kind of little "joke" with this Sieg. Yes, this is the joke of the young masters. I almost stepped on your shoes."

"...?" Daniel was silent for a while, tilting his head slightly.

"I don't know much about their level of affairs, but we'd better stay away from those big noble-related incidents. You see, man, the reward for this arrest warrant is three thousand gold coins. If I provide information, I will At least [-] gold coins can be distributed, who would have trouble with money? But this kind of money is too hot, buddy, I would rather your target is a local lord of a certain territory, and definitely not anyone from these three duke houses, Got it, anyone."

The bearded man was talking, stepped on the creaking floor, walked to the other table and sat down, poured himself half a glass of rum, and took a strong sip.

"Young people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth may think it's cool to challenge the great nobles without fear of power, but man, I know you are not the kind of reckless person. Money and power can be exchanged for anything, and having these two great nobles is very important for us to live in. Guys from the human world are far more dangerous than demons. Believe me, this wanted notice will be canceled within three days at the most, and the people who issued the wanted notice and the members of the Hunter Association will treat it as if it doesn't exist... The relationship between them will never be life-and-death unless it is absolutely necessary, and it is rare for people who are involved in the struggle between them to survive the whole body."

Not long after, Daniel left the intelligence merchant's hut. The Shadow Walker, who entered the power center of human society for the first time, looked puzzled. It was not that he had not accepted the task of assassinating nobles, but he had never received such advice.Daniel, who left the wooden shed area, turned around twice in the streets and alleys, and turned into the bar area. After thinking about it, he felt unwilling, and turned his head towards the west.

Zhongcheng District, which is adjacent to Xicheng District, is the place where fireworks gather, and it is also the city that never sleeps in the imperial capital.Daniel, who had changed into a black night suit, was dressed as a servant in a shirt, vest, suspenders and trousers. He wore a fine felt hat on his head and carried a basket covered with silk in his hand. He walked along the neon lights of Midtown. , while looking around at the signboards on both sides of the road, it looked like eleven servants of the nobles came to find people and give things.

Walking to the door of a large clubhouse, Daniel bypassed the long line of gorgeous carriages in front of the main entrance and walked to the staff passage at the side and rear, and took out a name tag with the noble family crest from his trouser pocket; the guard at the door glanced at the sign The family crest on the screen pointed at the back: "Go around the garden at the back, don't disturb other guests."

Daniel bowed deeply, walked around the garden as instructed by the guards, but did not enter the front hall where ordinary guests gathered. Instead, after passing through the veranda, he suddenly dodged into the grass, quickly took off his felt hat, took off his shirt and He took out a set of black vest jacket and trousers for the waiters in the clubhouse from the basket, and took out a waiter's name tag from the local clubhouse and pinned it to his chest after dressing neatly.

He has several servant name tags of the Marquis and Earl's family in his hand, and it is very simple for him to confirm from the carriage in front of the clubhouse that he owns the name tag.

Not long after, Daniel appeared majestically in the performance hall with a tray in one hand and a white towel in the other.The dancers in front of the hall divided into several private rooms are struggling to twist their bodies, attracting the attention of most people in the hall; coupled with the ambiguous lighting in the performance hall and the extremely inconspicuous temperament of Daniel himself, he turned around twice in the arena. No one noticed.

Daniel, who had found his target, walked to a guest seat calmly, skillfully replaced the dirty cups and utensils on the table, and generously brought them to the tea room next to the bar, and handed them over to the cleaning staff with a natural attitude. The female worker, and then stood there and waited for the female worker to prepare clean glasses for him.

In the high-end VIP seat at an angle to the tea room, several young people dressed in extremely luxurious clothes were chatting and chatting in a friendly manner; Daniel, who was waiting for the cup replacement at the door of the tea room, cast his eyes on this seat openly, and said The first thing he saw was the target worth three thousand gold coins—Sig Frandi.

The long distance and the noisy environment made it impossible for Daniel to hear what these young people were talking about; but obviously, the atmosphere between them was not as harmonious as it seemed on the outside; the most glaring point, Although that Sig Frandi had an elegant smile that fit the status of a great nobleman, Daniel was quite sure that his target was not the two "companions" who were seated with him at all.

Although the high-level walker with keen perception does not understand the confrontation in Vanity Fair, he has seen too many killings and crimes in his short life of more than thirty years.Daniel, who has the silver medal hunter status of the Hunter Association, habitually divides people into hunters and prey, but it is obvious that the young man with indifferent eyes is not so much a hunter as a predator—he is stingy with people. Sharing prey, walking alone, lonely and proud, arrogant and restrained, with a strong sense of territory that does not allow any degree of offense.

"..." It didn't take long for Daniel to give up the three thousand gold coins. Hunters are easily driven by profit and can compromise and trade, but predators can't.Predators who live loyal to their own desires seem to need everything, but in fact they can give up everything; they are more terrifying than hunters, and every attack of them is like fighting for their lives, cunning and difficult Entangled, it's a headache.

When the cleaning lady came out with the prepared tea set, Daniel had already left the clubhouse.

Daniel's goal is a huge amount of gold coins like an astronomical figure. After giving up the arrest of [-] gold coins, he chose a mission with a lower reward; when Daniel, who traveled far east, went deep into a principality and assassinated a nobleman, returned to the imperial capital, Already a month later.

When he met the intelligence dealer again, the other party’s nagging let him know one thing: the day after he led the assassination mission away, it was also the last day of the statute of limitations for Sig Ferlandi’s wanted warrant One day, the young master of the grand duke's family was "successfully" assassinated, and the mysterious man who took his head earned a bounty that would disappear from the Hunter's Association headquarters in another day; but it was not too late As it spread, another shocking news shook the imperial capital again: the third and fourth young masters of Grand Duke Frandi were killed one after another, and one of them lost his head.

This incident caused the royal family to be furious, and a large-scale search was carried out in the imperial capital; but the strange thing is that this incident was very thunderous and rainy. gangster.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this series of events can be said to be weird and bizarre, but the bearded man who is an intelligence dealer is naturally very clear; and Daniel, who understands his babbling, understands his meaning. Can't help but shed a cold sweat - the one who killed "Sig Frandy" and used his head to defraud the bounty was this young master Frandy himself; and the ones who were killed were naturally his two One of the younger brothers.The royal family tracked down this matter, and the "truth" they got was that a certain guy wanted the young master of Frandy's family desperately, which resulted in the victimization of Seeger's two younger brothers.Those who pay for the wanted arrest will naturally lose all their money, and at the same time, they must also bear the main hatred of the Frandy family...

And who is this unlucky guy?Apparently, in the middle of the month, the Francis family suddenly offered to present two northern pastures to the Frandy family... The suspicion is very high; moreover, their young master Victor Francis also somehow received a patrol mission directly assigned by the royal family to go to With the cold wind blowing from the north, the suspicion is even greater...

"It's too dangerous, Daniel, our lives are hanging by a thread. The young master of the Francis family wanted to make a fool of the young master of the Frandy family, and in the end he lost his wife and lost his army; if you rush in rashly, Father God, I can't even imagine the consequences."

The bearded man caressed his chest exaggeratedly, with a look of shock; Daniel, who had listened to him rambling for a long time, looked very embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he took out a gold coin and put it in his hand...

"...Dude, you are really stingy to the extreme when it comes to the flow of money outside the regulations." The bearded man who had been giving a speech for a long time couldn't laugh or cry. I stuffed my hair into my trouser pocket, "Well, the friendship between us cannot be measured by money. Now that you are done with the task at hand, I have a task here, are you interested?"

"How much is the reward?" Daniel asked, his voice very jerky.

"... Well, excuse me, Daniel, do you only know these four words?" the bearded man asked cautiously.

"..." Daniel stopped talking.

"Okay, okay, please forgive me, this is just a little curiosity of a man who is always full of adventurous soul... There is an adult who wants to hire a bodyguard who is good at assassination, and the requirement is to sign a life and soul contract."

Daniel immediately shook his head firmly. People who are good at assassination naturally know how to guard against assassination. Daniel has heard of this kind of employment intention; but he needs a very large amount of money, and nobles who do not have the strength to train family walkers often cannot pay him. Exciting price.

"Hey, don't be so hasty to reject my lord, this lord is a hundred times more generous than you imagined. I recommend you because of the friendship and cooperation we have had during our time. You don't know that there are some walkers who intend to serve that lord. How many……"

The bearded man began to chatter with his long tongue, but Daniel remained indifferent; although he was not good at words, he knew his own value, and there were very few strong men with titles, and there were very few of his kind—— Generally speaking, if a killer is too famous, then either he is dead or he will die soon.People who walk in the dark night are not suitable for high exposure rate, let alone possessing characteristics; he is very suitable for this industry because of his weak natural momentum, even his seemingly lifeless eyes are specially trained, in order to be in the dark night Eyeballs do not reflect light when performing tasks.

The bearded man talked for a long time, but Daniel was still unmoved. He simply used his trump card: "Trust me, man, this lord can give you a price that no one else can give you..." He deliberately glanced around and ran away. Going to the tattered curtain to make sure there was no one outside, the hypocritical intelligence dealer lowered his voice mysteriously, "Dude, do you know about the underground loan sharks in the imperial capital?"

Daniel nodded.

"Then let me tell you—this lord is the real master of the underground usury!"

Shadowwalker's only weakness...is money.

Daniel followed the intelligence dealer who didn't go out easily through half of the lower city and entered a bar that seemed to be closed soon, and walked in the dark passage under the cellar for more than ten minutes, and finally came to a basement with plastic walls; When Daniel saw his "employer" in this basement, his first reaction was to turn his head to look at the intelligence dealer who brought him here—this bearded man who drools a lot and didn't show any kindness towards this big man. Instead, he lowered his head respectfully and clasped his hands in front of his slightly protruding belly, obediently like a sheep.

"..." Daniel looked back at the employer blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The young man sitting on the high-backed chair was wearing a cumbersome and gorgeous robe, holding his chin in one hand and holding a wine glass in the other. After Daniel came in, he lazily turned his gaze to Daniel. His ice blue eyes seemed to be looking at him, but it seemed that no one was looking at him. I did not see.

"...Shadow Walker?" After Master Sig Frandi opened his mouth, he was finally willing to give Daniel his attention; he looked up and down Daniel with undisguised critical and arrogant eyes, and took a sip of his wine slowly, "My people think you have the most 'assassin' temperament. Now... I'm curious, do you guys mean that the so-called assassin temperament is inconspicuous?"

"..." Daniel's eyes were blank. Not long ago, he asked this "my person" about the feasibility of assassinating this guy.

"Hehe..." Young Master Frandy narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth. "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the streets are full of walker-type talents...Valker, are you fooling me?"

The intelligence merchant Valk lowered his head, and his attitude was more submissive; he who usually spoke for a long time could not stop speaking so concisely that he did not look like himself: "Valck will never dare to fool you, my master."

"..." Daniel still had a blank expression on his face, as if he was about to fall asleep with his pair of dull eyes.

Master Frandy looked up and down this well-known shadow walker again with scrutiny. The ironic sneer on the corner of his mouth could almost make a good-tempered person instantly angry.

"..." Daniel looked at him silently without saying a word.

The two sides looked at each other in silence for a long time, and Sieg Frandi suddenly changed his face, his frivolous and arrogant virtues disappeared like ice melted, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth disappeared from that delicate face in the blink of an eye; He threw away the crystal wine glass in his hand and smashed it to pieces on the tiled floor; Master Frandy stood up, raised his chin slightly, stretched out the back of his left hand to Daniel, and affirmed with an indifferent expression and an even more indifferent tone Said, "Very well, it's just you."

"..." If it weren't for the stiff face that couldn't make an expression, the shadow walker would have wanted to put on a horrified face...

After kissing the back of the Grand Duke's young master's hand, signing a life and soul contract, and becoming a scary high-ranking servant with a high salary, it didn't take long for Daniel to know that this young master Ferrandi likes to irritate people and regards those who are easily angered by him as idiots The nasty nature of an idiot...Compared to this, Daniel, who is frugal because of this young master's love of throwing things around, has developed the ability to pick things up safely anytime, anywhere, which is really nothing.
