Ultimate Assassin System

Your place is not good, there are not many guests, there is no atmosphere at all, it's gloomy, if I didn't see the graves, I thought I came to the cemetery...

No matter which world you are in, reuniting after a long absence is always a joyful thing. ◎, Of course, except for those with narrow Yuanjia Road. However, it is also worth mentioning that if the reunion objects are different, the effect will be completely different.

To put it simply, if the reunion partners are a man and a woman, the effect will be more contradictory. They may be ecstatic or even cry, or they may be speechless and then forced to laugh. But if the reunion is with two men, it will be much simpler and purer, hug each other, exchange pleasantries, and then everything will be in the wine...

Knock, come over with three glasses of wine and put them on the table. Hearing Philip's nonsense, Tang En rolled his eyes angrily... Oh, yes, it seems that the young shopkeeper is our Dun En's children's shoes. However, it seems that this is not necessary...

If you don't speak, people can still think you are dumb, but when you speak, you will reveal your nature... Do you know what is clear? Do you know what taste is? You are a bitch!

Aha, I'm an idiot? Are you sure you're talking about me? Pointing at his nose, Philip laughed angrily, Brother, don't tell me you made a secondary painting anonymously and sent it to the Capital Auction House. The price starts at 100,000 gold coins. Don’t talk about pianos, harps, most of the orchestral instruments, etc., I’m good at everything. I’ll tell you a little bit, the taverns I’ve seen are definitely more than the houses in this town. Do you still dare to show off in front of me?

Will it be broken? Hehe... Tang En raised his glass with a smile, I'll give you another chance not to be slapped in the face. Take a closer look. Is my place broken or not!

Philip was startled when he heard this. Looking at Tang En with a calm and calm appearance, he couldn't help but feel a sudden twitch, frowning and looking around the hall: Just look at it, it's too clear, you want to scare me... Well, I admit that your design of this place is not bad , It seems quite novel, and it can be counted on the countertop. But that's all... The bonsai is a snow oak tree, and it looks pretty nice, but it's not worth a lot of money. There are a lot of famous painters in the capital. The same is true for sculptures, which are of little value...

It has to be said that although Philip's strength is terrible, he has completely lost his grandfather's face. But in other aspects, especially in the fields of eating, drinking and entertainment, there is absolutely no doubt that you are everyone! Turn around and look around. In just a few sentences, they almost commented on the hall up and down. None missed.

However, when he glanced at a photo frame hanging on the wall next to the door, he suddenly paused, squinted unconsciously, and looked at the black dagger in the frame that looked more like a handicraft, and suddenly it looked familiar, and then he thought of something. Shocked, Wait...that dagger...

Huo Ran turned to look at Tang En, who was still smiling calmly, licked his lips, Philip's voice was a little dry, This could not be your...cut off the pope's head, and slit the eldest prince's throat Legendary weapon, Arthur's dagger... Do you dare to take out this thing? Just hang it casually like this? Why don't you fight like this! No one knows the goods in this broken town, okay—

Philip is going crazy...

No matter what it is, once it is prefixed with a legend, its value cannot be measured by money.

Of course, the reason why a legend is a legend lies in its unique and unique characteristics. It is impossible to have many such things, and some even only exist in legends. It is a great blessing to see them at a glance. For example, the sword in the hands of the sword god Woodin, the national weapon that has guarded the empire for hundreds of years and is as stable as a mountain!

However, despite such harsh conditions, after the Battle of the Temple General, when Twain was officially promoted to the number one assassin in the world, the murderous blade in his hand was forged by the master alchemist Lina and soaked in the blood of an incumbent pope and a quasi-king. Arthur's dagger has undoubtedly become a recognized legendary dagger, an artifact of killing, fanatically admired by countless people who walk in the shadows!

But it is such a legendary weapon, and now it is hung on the wall in such a majestic manner as a background board, mixed with the surrounding butterfly specimens, cheap amber, etc., the pearl is dusty... Looking at Philip's regret, it is almost distorted Tang En spread his hands, I can't help it, you know, I can't use it anymore, and I can't use it as a kitchen knife, so I have to let it hang on the wall to play a little role.

Why don't you give it to me - this is the roar that Philip is roaring in his heart, but he dare not say it if he really wants to say it. It wasn't that he was afraid that Tang En would refuse, but that he really didn't dare to ask for it. Think about it, if those assassins, thieves, mercenaries, etc. who wander in the shadows know that this killing artifact is in his hands, then in his next life... well, if he thinks too much, it is very likely that he will not have a next life up...

Is that a coward? Perhaps it was because he saw his bad friend again after a few years, Tang En was obviously in a good mood, and rarely pointed backwards a little embarrassingly, Look over there, the one on the counter.

Philip turned his head subconsciously when he heard the words, scanned it several times, and finally found some clues in the inner corner of the counter.

It was a huge eyeball wrapped in a crystal ball, and the whites of the eyes were covered with spider-like thick and thin bloodshot eyes, which looked really scary. And what's even more weird is that there is a distance from the counter here, so it shouldn't be very clear. But now that Philip focused his eyes on it, he instantly met the dark pupil in the center of the eyeball. It was as deep as a bottomless abyss, and there was some unknown fear hidden in it. , loneliness, madness... at this moment,

Come back to your senses! With a snap, Tang En reached out and snapped his fingers in front of the dumbfounded Philip. In an instant, there was a loud bang, and the legs of the wooden chair pulled out on the wooden floor with a piercing screech, and fell to the ground. Philip got up and backed up quickly with a look of horror, pointing his finger at the counter, but his eyes didn't dare to look any more, Catastrophe... Eye of Calamity?!

Well, it's another legendary thing... Huh, you actually know it? Tang En couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then nodded in response, That's right, this is indeed the Eye of Calamity.

How is it possible, how is it possible... Philip's face was a little pale, and his tone was full of disbelief, According to historical records, this thing should have been destroyed by the temple many years ago. How could it have fallen into your hands?

Tang En shrugged easily: Oh. I borrowed this from the Northern Temple a few years ago. At that time, there was a demon skull or something, but it exploded. It's a pity... Otherwise, it will be placed here together, and the viewing effect will definitely be good. better.

Evil, the devil's skull? The corner of his mouth twitched, and he twitched again. It was a legendary evil thing... Philip was completely out of temper now, because he was numb.

certainly. If you lose, you don't lose. He coughed a few times, leaned on the wooden chair and sat down, Ahem... Well, I take back that broken word, I admit that your place is really unusual. But from the actual function, your pub is just an ordinary tavern. It’s not that different from anyone else’s.”

Normal? Are you sure? Tang En asked leisurely as he raised his finger to the circular high platform in the center of the hall. Have you ever seen an ordinary tavern with a concert, or even an opera on the spot?

Philip was taken aback when he heard the words: You mean... bard?

It shouldn't be, or more accurately, not only!

Mandel suddenly shook his head and accepted the conversation. This was the first sentence he voluntarily said since he came in. Such a dull performance naturally does not match his status as an elite negotiator, but it is not surprising when he thinks about it carefully. Because of the object of negotiation this time. Unusual!

Honestly, it's not a good idea to have such preconceived notions. The most important thing in negotiations is momentum, and such a mentality of fearing before fighting will naturally have a great impact. When he came here, Mandel thought he was fully prepared and would not be easily shaken, but when the real thing happened and he saw that person with his own eyes, Mandel realized that his preparation seemed not enough, and his mentality was a little out of balance...

It's not shameful, yes, if anyone is sitting here, he knows that the person in front of him who is having a drink with him has once resisted the sword god and survived, wiped the prince's throat in front of the palace, assassinated the pope and cut off his head; He single-handedly destroyed the southern and northern headquarters of the Temple of Light one after another. Wherever he went, there was a bloody storm and corpses littered the field. There used to be and even now there are some people who walk in the shadows recognized... stabs! guest! Of! king! Even if he thinks about it, he won't be so calm, even if he didn't pee his pants, he has a good mental quality...

However, after all, there is a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and Mandel is naturally not willing to retreat without a fight. Of course, the more important thing is that after he observed it, he found that the King of Assassins was not as scary as the legend said...

With a medium build, mediocre temperament, and a public face buried in the honor and disgrace of the world, no matter how you look at it, he looks harmless to humans and animals. And just under the nose of the other party, the other party was actually charged a protection fee by a gangster... Well, if I didn't believe that Philip would not, and there was no need to joke about it, and then he himself saw the handle Legendary dagger, Mandel would really think that the two people in front of him were acting together to tease him...

Taking a breath, the observations undoubtedly stabilized Mandel's confidence, so he cut in decisively without hesitation.

This is clear... Mandel tentatively looked at the magnificent stage space, Is it a high-end tavern that creatively combines some musical performances and the effect of an opera house? This way, guests can enjoy delicious food and wine. , while enjoying the double feast of vision and hearing... I wonder if my guess is right?

Haha, listen, Philip, you bastard, listen carefully, this is what you call knowledge! Laughing cheerfully, Tang En hit Philip mercilessly, then turned to look at Mandel and nodded politely, By the way, this is it?

Marquis Mandel is also the chief person in charge of the negotiations between the Empire and your gray army. Although Philip is uneasy now, he brought the man after all, so of course he has to introduce it.

Nodding reservedly, Mandel, when we meet for the first time, it's fine for you to call me Mandel. When we set off, His Majesty asked me repeatedly to bring the thank you that was belated three years ago.

After a short pause, Mandel took a deep breath, stood up seriously, and bowed at ninety degrees, Thank you, Your Excellency Tang En!

Your Majesty? Oh, it's the second prince. After a while, Tang En suddenly realized and didn't mind waving his hands, Sir Mandel, you don't have to be polite. To be honest, I just did it out of desperation. I just hoped... ...Well, the second prince won't blame me for killing his brother. Look, why is there such a big gap between being human? I killed my brother, now my brother came to express my thanks. It's not like that stupid girl with big breasts and no brains, who wants to stab me with all her heart...

Feeling slightly moved, he turned to look at Philip. By the way. You just talked about negotiation. What kind of negotiation? The Empire and the Gray Army? Seeing Philip look away awkwardly and nodding depressedly, Tang En couldn't help laughing, Hehe, I didn't mean you, Philip, did you do that? Is the middleman still addicted? Look at you again and again.

Crack, do you think I want to?

Your Excellency Tang En misunderstood, Philip was only following orders.

Okay. Let's not talk about him for now. Tang En waved his hands indifferently, then looked at Mandel, who looked up straight and his eyes were bright and clearly entered the negotiation state, and shook his head slightly, Although I'm sorry, I have to regret to inform you Sir, you probably came here in vain this time. I am just a small shopkeeper, and I am already dead. Therefore, I don’t know anything about the Gray Army, and I can’t provide you with any help.”

The rejection was straightforward and thorough. But Mandel didn't move when he heard the words. Still calmly said: Of course it is your choice whether to provide help or not. We have no intention of interfering. But please see that we have come all the way here. Even if it is just as a guest, delaying your time for a glass of wine, the owner It’s not too much to think about, is it?”

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, the other party was so sincere, Tang En naturally couldn't be unkind, so he spread his hands casually: It's really not too much... Well, tell me, let me listen.

Thank you! Mandel nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and he did enough courtesy, The thing is like this, your excellency should know that our empire is fighting the Northern Wilderness on the Rhineau River. This protracted war has been going on for a long time. The soldiers of the empire The casualties were horrendous and the wear and tear was serious, and now it is almost at the end of the mountain, and it is in danger...

Sorry, let me interrupt. Dunn raised his wine glass and looked at Mandel with a half-smile, It's so pitiful, you don't mean to invite the Gray Army to join the battle and help you resist the Northern Wilderness? Tsk, If that's the case, then all I can do is buy Sir you a drink.

Your Excellency misunderstood. We never expected this. This is of course a lie. The highest purpose of Mandel's coming to negotiate this time must be to pull the Gray Army out of the battle, so as to reduce the pressure on the Empire. But when he learned about the relationship between Tang En and Lan Sha outside the town, he also knew that it was absolutely useless...

Tanshou confessed, What we want to achieve is just to hope that you can set up a cordon on the north bank of the Rhineau River, guard your own territory, and prevent some criminals who escaped from the empire from entering and leaving at will. It is not good for stability under the rule of China. Of course, if you are willing to repatriate these criminals, the empire will be willing to pay a lot of money for it.

Oh, I understand. Tang En laughed casually when he heard the words, Isn't it because you caught the strong men so hard that you caught hatred?

That's the truth, what about imperial criminals, considering the stability of their rule, etc., are just excuses. The real situation should be that this protracted war caused heavy casualties to the imperial army, resulting in a shortage of available soldiers in the empire, so they could only focus on ordinary people. It is obvious that no one is a fool, and no one is willing to be cannon fodder on the front line, so on the shoreline of the Rhineau River, life and death should be unfolding one after another...

Naturally, the Bran Empire didn't want to see this scene, because every time a citizen escaped, it was equivalent to reducing a point of national power. However, due to the fierce fighting with the Northern Wilderness Tribe, the empire really couldn't be distracted, so they could only hope to negotiate with the Gray Army and let the other side implement a blockade to solve the problem fundamentally.

With a change in expression, Mandel said in a deep voice: Your Excellency Tang En, you are thinking too much, you must know that this move is also for your sake...

He waved his hand and interrupted, Sir Mandel doesn't need to explain. In fact, no matter what the truth is, I'm not interested... Well, let's do it. Dunn pondered for a while, and said, You guys came all the way this time, why you came here first For me, instead of going to the capital city of Dawn City first, I should be worried that I won’t be able to see the person in charge. I can write a letter of introduction for you, and you can take it to Dawn City, and you should be able to meet Josiah or some gray Yijun executives. You can discuss the matter later, whether it will be all up to you, how about this?

Mandel was overjoyed when he heard the words. In fact, this was the purpose of their visit this time. He bowed to express his gratitude: Of course, no matter whether this time is successful or not, on behalf of the Bran Empire, I would like to thank you for your help!

You don't need to thank me. Waving his hand again, Tang En pointed to Philip, who was drinking because he had no intention of participating in the negotiation, I'm just giving him face, so that I won't make a trip in vain.

Mandel was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly to show his understanding, and saluted again: This time the trip is rather hasty, and it is rare for your Excellency to meet Sir Philip to catch up, so I won't bother you here. After finishing speaking, he nodded to Philip, simply Turn around and walk out of the bar.

When his figure disappeared into the car at the door, Tang En shook his head: He is a smart man, what a pity.

Philip raised his eyebrows: You mean he is destined to fail this negotiation?

Tang En spread his hands: It's unclear. The wall is down and everyone is pushing. If you can't win on the battlefield, how can you have the confidence at the negotiating table? The second prince is also a smart person. I reckon that he will be sent this time. Try it, I don't have much hope...Well, from another perspective, it seems that the second prince has no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and the Bran Empire cannot escape the fate of destruction after all.

Sure enough, you, an outsider, can see clearly... After a moment of silence, Philip shook his head, and then took a deep breath, Okay, anyway, my task is completed, let's talk about some serious business... Well, my job Where's the daughter? Why didn't the godfather let me see you when he came over? Fortunately, I brought a gift...

Before the words finished, a piercing voice suddenly came from the door, Whose shop is this? What about your boss, let him come out and pay the protection fee... What? Who are we? Have you heard Heihu help you——
