Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 105 It turns out to be you, you bastard

The city of generosity, Bayam.

After the Blue Avenger landed at the port, Alger took Ember around the city several times.

After getting rid of the imaginary stalkers and monitors, he finally arrived at a house with the embers and rang the doorbell.

This is the residence of the craftsman that Alger found for Yu Cinder.

"Dingle bell~!"

Not long after the bell rang, the door of the house was opened.

A thin, flaxen-haired, tanned middle-aged man appeared from behind the door and glanced at Alger in surprise.

"Alger, why is it you?"

"Go in and talk."

Alger nodded slightly at him.

"it is good."

The craftsman shrugged, obviously trusting Alger greatly, and without any doubt he stepped aside to let the two in.

"introduce."

Alger pointed at the two men and introduced them one by one, "This is Sharf, a skilled craftsman. I think he should be able to meet your needs. This is Ash, he hopes to entrust you to help create two magical items."

"no problem."

Sharf said generously, "Just pay, and remember to tell us what you want from the magical item before we make it. Otherwise, we won't be responsible after it's done."

"Help me change my appearance."

Yu Jin thought about it and took out a pair of iron-black metal gloves from somewhere.

"can."

Charles glanced at it, his expression slightly changed, but he still nodded slightly.

However, before he finished speaking, Yu Jin took out several other magical items -

An ordinary-looking tin pocket watch, a rather simple-looking four-leaf clover amulet, and a huge pistol that seemed to be crudely made.

"..."

Sharf was silent for a long time and asked, "Anything else?"

"No more, just these four."

Ember shook his head and asked, "How long will it take to transform them?"

“This could take a long time.”

Charles hesitated for a long time, looking a little nervous, and said, "Also, this will cost 1000 pounds."

Yu Jin was not surprised by this and counted out twenty ten-pound notes and handed them over.

After all, Alger had reminded him before coming that the craftsmen had to be paid for the work.

Charles took the money in silence.

He didn't even think about greeting Alger, he just stared at him silently.

This look made Alger feel a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.

Just said hello and prepared to leave.

Just as the two of them were about to leave the room, Charles suddenly called them.

"Alger."

Sharf looked deeply at Alger's back and suddenly said, "The magical item you asked me to make for you last time is ready. Come with me."

"Wait a mininute."

Alger looked at Charles with some confusion.

But he didn't say much. He just apologized to Yu Jin and followed him into the inner room.

"Who the hell is he?!"

Sharf closed the bedroom door and asked in a deep voice.

Alger frowned slightly and said without hesitation, "He is my friend and can be trusted. Is there any problem?"

"This is a big problem!"

Hearing Alger say that it was reliable, Sharf smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know the origins of those magical items of his?"

Alger hesitated for two seconds, but did not try to hide it. He simply said, "He had some conflicts with the Loen Kingdom's Military Intelligence Department. These are the spoils he obtained from the Beyonders of Military Intelligence Department 9."

As he spoke, Alger raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you afraid?"

"Correct."

Charles nodded without hesitation, which surprised Alger.

"You know."

Sharf seemed very nervous. He finally sorted out his thoughts, but his words were still a little confusing. "I am a craftsman. The previous sequence was an appraiser. I can quickly determine the ability and grade of magical items."

"Of his four magical items, two are at the Sequence 5 level."

"One is the glove, and the other is the lucky clover."

"I know."

Alger nodded without surprise, but this made him even more confused. "What's the problem?"

He had long known that Embers could kill Sequence 5 Beyonders.

It is not surprising to see magical items at the Sequence 5 level.

As a craftsman, Sharf lacks the ability to protect himself because of his "universal" path.

But he is also a Sequence 6 "Mechanical Expert" after all, and has made many Sequence 5 magical items.

What's more, he was not interested in the Kingdom of Loen itself, otherwise he would not have stayed in the overseas colonies.

These two things alone shouldn't be enough to make him panic like this.

Sharf smiled bitterly and said, "The problem is that the remaining two magical items are at the Sequence 4 level!"

"Sequence 4, Demigod?!"

Alger's face froze, and he finally reacted.

"That's why I asked you if he can be trusted."

Sharf looked distressed and said helplessly, "If it turns out to be unreliable, we will both die."

"rest assured."

Alger quickly adjusted himself and said in a deep voice, "I still say the same thing, he is absolutely reliable. But,"

Alger looked at him deeply and said, "Only if you don't try to do anything tricky."

A magical item at the Sequence 4 level can only be controlled by a Demigod of the same Sequence 4 level.

It was a coincidence that Yu Jin had a Sequence 4 magical item, but the possibility that he had two could only be that he had killed a Sequence 4 Beyonder!
And if he guessed correctly, this should have happened recently -

That is, the period from when he appeared on the sea to when he met herself.

Regardless of which force they are from, extraordinary people above the level of demigods are the absolute top pillars.

The death of any demigod would cause serious damage to a force.

And once the news leaks out, Yu Jin will probably be hunted down and killed by this force.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Charles asked back with a wry smile.

Not to mention that he is supposed to keep the secrets for his customers, the cost of leaking the information alone is something he cannot afford.

"Do your job well."

Alger patted Sharf on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"and many more!"

Seeing that Alger wanted to leave, Sharf suddenly stopped him and handed him a coin. "This is the magical item you ordered last time, the Whip of the Spirit. I was going to sell it for 4000 pounds. I'll give you a 3000% discount, so it's pounds. Thank you."

"You're robbing?!"

Alger's face suddenly turned dark.

"Do you want it?"

Sharf asked back.

"I'll give you the rest of the money next time."

Alger took a deep breath, took out two thousand pounds from his pocket and stuffed it all into the other party, gritting his teeth.

"no need."

When Charles saw that the other party couldn't pay, his face darkened and he said unhappily, "I'll treat you to a drink with the rest, but..."

"Don't let your friend know about our conversation," Sharf warned.

He didn't want to be noticed by a demigod.

"Are you still worried about what I'm doing?"

Alger asked back, making Charles feel a little embarrassed.

Alger did not make things difficult for him when he saw this. He just snorted coldly and turned away.

It seemed like he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Sharf's suspicion.

When the two walked out of the room, Alger's expression had returned to normal without him noticing.

From the surface, there is nothing unusual.

"We have what we need, let's go."

Alger raised the ring on his hand and smiled at the ember at the door.

"You might not believe it."

Not far from Sharf's house, Alger touched the ring on his hand, his lips curled up, "Although this ring is not as useful as yours, it is made of two different Beyonder properties. Its value is at least over 4000 pounds!"

"And I only spent 2000 pounds, thanks to you."

"Oh?"

Yu Jin was a little surprised. "Isn't this the magical item you ordered from him? What does it have to do with me?"

"He lied."

Alger shrugged and said casually, "Two of your four magical items are at the Sequence 5 level, and the other two are at the Sequence 4 level. So he took me into the room under the pretext that I had reserved magical items, but in fact his purpose was to get information from me about you."

"And this magical item was sold to me at cost price."

The price of an ordinary sequence 7 level magical item is around 2000 pounds.

Of this, 1600 pounds is the cost of the Beyonder feature, and 400 pounds is the production cost.

If you buy two sequence 7 magical items, the value is about 4000 pounds.

But if it is a magical item composed of two extraordinary properties, its value will soar.

It can be sold for as low as five thousand or even six thousand pounds!

Because magical items all have side effects.

While using magical items, you will also be affected by their side effects.

If you use two magical items, you have to endure two side effects at the same time.

But if it is a magical item composed of two different extraordinary properties, it only needs to bear one side effect while having functions comparable to two magical items.

It is precisely because of this that this magical item, which is a mixture of extraordinary properties of different sequences, is very valuable.

This ring is a practice piece for Charles.

It combines the extraordinary properties of a Sequence 7 and a Sequence 9.

If you look at it separately, the value is at least over 2700 pounds.

And when the two are combined, their value is at least over 3500 pounds!
And because it is rare, the premium can even rise to 4000 pounds!
And now, Alger only spent 4000 pounds on a magical item worth at least 2000 pounds!
It barely covers the cost of making it for Charles, and may not even make back the cost.

This situation can generally only be described in two words:

Blood earned!
Furthermore, it wasn't that Alger was intentionally taking advantage of Sharf; it was the other party who was forcing him to do so.

"I see."

Yu Jin showed a look of realization when he heard Alger's explanation, but did not express anything else.

It was as if this matter was just commonplace to him and not worthy of attention.

Although this is indeed the case.

"You really don't care?"

Alger's expression was a little boastful, but his eyes were always observing Yu Jin's expression.

Seeing that the other party still looked relaxed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he was also shocked by the fact that Ember killed the demigod, there was no way he could hide it.

Firstly, Sharf holds a high position in his heart, but not as high as Embers and Tarot Club.

It wasn't worth it for him to hide the information from Ember for Sharf.

Secondly, Alger didn't dare to bet that Yu Jin didn't hear their conversation!
After all, the number of magical items the other party possessed was beyond his imagination. In addition, since he was able to kill a demigod, he must be of the corresponding level.

It was just a wall, it was impossible to stop the other party from spying, even if Charles had made arrangements.

Rather than hiding the conversation and causing a rift in their relationship, it would be better to reveal it.

Now it seems that his choice was indeed correct.

"Will he run away?"

Ember suddenly asked.

"probably not."

Alger replied, then hesitated, "But that's not necessarily true. Sharf has never been very courageous. So it's unlikely that he would dare to steal your magical item and run away. But precisely because he's not very courageous, he might run away out of fear."

"Hey, do you want me to go back and keep an eye on him?"

That’s four extraordinary items, and the two magical items of Sequence 5 alone are worth tens of thousands of gold pounds!
Not to mention there are two sequence 4 level magical items, whose value cannot be measured by money.

If something really went wrong, Alger would be blamed for everything.

After all, he was the one who introduced the person to Ember.

Alger didn't dare to gamble on Charles's character at this time!

"Need not."

Ember said casually, "He can't run away."

"Too."

Alger's face showed understanding.

Not to mention that we are on the sea here, even if the other party wants to run, where can they go?

Alger asked himself that if it came down to speed, his Blue Avenger would definitely be one of the best on the sea.

He could let Sharf run first.

and--

Although there are only two of them, don't forget that Yu Jin also has the ability to summon souls.

Although the other party didn't say it, there might be a soul guarding outside Charles's mansion.

"What do you say next?"

Alger changed the subject and suddenly asked with a smile, "Are we going to the hotel, or are we going to play in the city first?"

"anything fun?"

Ember asked with interest.

Alger shrugged and said frankly, "If you ask me, my answer is no different from that of an ordinary pirate. To borrow the words of Emperor Roselle, there are three things that are necessary in life: strong liquor, women, and gambling."

"Then let's go to the casino."

Yu Jin looked at his luck value of 99+ and suddenly said, "My luck is pretty good. I can give it a try."

"Row."

Alger smiled and said, "But you have to be careful. Emperor Roselle said that small gambling can bring joy but big gambling can hurt the body. If we lose all our money, we will have to sleep on the street at night."

"It's not a big problem."

Ember said firmly, "I'll only bet one pound."

"That's not impossible, but..."

Alger nodded slightly, but hesitated at the end and asked, "Can you take off your ring for the time being?"

"why?"

Ember asked in surprise.

"It's mainly because it's a little too conspicuous."

Alger spread his hands and said helplessly, "It doesn't matter if you lose money, but if you win money, you might get into trouble and it won't be easy to get out of the casino."

"also."

After a brief thought, Yu Jin nodded in agreement.

Anyway, he can put on these rings at any time with just a thought, so taking them off doesn't really matter.

It was not taken down in the past, mainly because it was not necessary.

I thought about it.

Ember took off almost all the rings, leaving only a golden ring with the shape of a winding snake.

……

"The plan went well."

Somewhere in Backlund, a slender figure stood in front of the window, looking at the blood moon outside.

The lady had a very well-proportioned figure and was dressed a little strangely, but she seemed to be frowning at the moment.

The tender pink lips opened and closed slightly, as if she was whispering to herself.

"They had no doubts about me. Fate made everything seem just right."

"The moment I knew '0-08', it knew me."

"It weaved me into the story, and the coincidence made it all fall into place."

"The vessel for the advent of the True Creation has been destroyed, and I have successfully been promoted to a Sequence 2 Sage."

"The goddess of night has not appeared yet. The 'servant of secrets' Arianna is doing everything for her."

"It seems that they have reached some kind of cooperation with the Aurora Society."

"Archbishop Anthony's position is limited. He doesn't even know where the follower named Ash is."

"But according to various signs, he seems to be at sea now."

“The Church of Evernight seems to want him to stay away from Backlund for the time being, but they probably don’t want him to leave the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Loen.”

"So the most likely location for him to appear now is probably the Sonia Sea."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

"When he returns to Backlund, the Church of Darkness may arrange for me to have further contact with him."

"so."

The lady looked up at the bright blue full moon in the sky and said softly, "Are you satisfied?"

……

Bayam, in an ordinary house not far from the Governor's Palace.

In the spacious basement, candles burned quietly, casting dim light all around.

On the stone stairs connecting to the ground, a shadow gradually lengthened in the dim light.

Soon, a figure appeared in the basement.

He was wearing a tuxedo, a black windbreaker, and his brown hair was neatly combed back.

His eyes are small but bright and lively, and he has a light beard around his mouth, making him look like a gentleman.

His name was Odell, 'Silver Viper' Odell.

But at the moment.

The gentleman seemed a little nervous. He trembled slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man whose half body was still shrouded in shadow under the dim light.

"Find me someone."

The middle-aged gentleman turned around and spoke in a low voice.

"Of course, Master Senior."

Odell lowered his head to hide the surprise in his eyes and asked respectfully, "Who are you looking for? What are his characteristics?"

'Blood Admiral' Senior wore an old tricorn hat, had sunken eye sockets, and a frighteningly pale face, looking more like an evil spirit than a human being.

He raised his hand to wipe the two black mustaches on his lower lip, and said slowly,
"The characteristic is obvious. He always wears ten oddly shaped rings."

"Looking for someone with ten rings?"

Odell was slightly stunned, looking extremely surprised, and hesitantly asked, "Then is the person you are looking for a man or a woman?"

Senior glanced at Odell coldly, his voice clearly carrying a hint of threat, "This is not your business. You just need to find him and give me the information."

"Of course, of course!"

Odell nodded in agreement, feeling extremely anxious, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Lord Senior, Vivian is still waiting for you at home. I wonder when you will have the honor to visit my humble home again?"

"Tonight, get out of here."

Senior sneered.

Odell bowed his head respectfully and walked back up the stone steps.

After Odell left the basement, Senior turned his head to look at the altar covered with dried bloodstains, and spoke in a more respectful manner than Odell had when facing him.

"Master Jax, do you have any other instructions?"

"Can he be trusted?"

A cold voice came from the curtain hanging around the altar. Then, the curtain seemed to have a life force, rolling up on both sides, tying itself into a knot smoothly, and falling in the center of the altar.

A slightly transparent figure appeared next to the altar at some point.

He had a brown complexion, deep furrows in the wrinkles on his face, and his white hair was as sparse as autumn leaves. He seemed to have lived for many, many years.

"Of course not, Master Jax."

Senior didn't dare to look up, but said respectfully, "Odel is a despicable businessman. The word 'trustworthy' has never been associated with him. However, he does have an extremely outstanding ability in collecting intelligence. We can only seek cooperation with him now."

"Who is Vivian?"

Jax stared at Senior, his voice cold and emotionless.

"It's Odell's mistress."

Senior explained hastily.

“You can enjoy yourself, but don’t delay fulfilling God’s commands.”

"Yes, Master Jax."

Jax didn't look at him again, only at the flames of the candles around the altar.

His eyes were humble, yet seemed to carry a hint of doubt.

God seemed a little strange today, and the feeling he gave him seemed different from before.

But he actually received the oracle.

"Master Jax."

Senior hesitated for two seconds and whispered, "May I ask what the full content of the oracle is?"

Jax glanced at him and said calmly, "Find the oracle wearing ten rings and ask him to try to find and collect the twenty-two blasphemous cards, especially the moon card."

Jax hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Also, the Mother card."

……

"Shit! He won again!"

"What the hell! You can win with this?!"

"Follow him down! I can go up as long as I follow him down!"

"Yes, yes, yes, good brother, lend me some money, I will definitely win this time!"

Listening to the noise of the crowd around him, Alger looked at the still calm embers beside him, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Before coming here, I just thought I would play a few games.

As a result, Yu Jin had managed to play until now with only one gold pound and won more than ten thousand gold pounds!

This is truly a win-win situation!
I was sitting next to him and couldn't tell how Yu Jin cheated. It seemed like he just won by sheer luck.

Could it be that he has a magical item that can increase his luck?

but……

Alger glanced at the dealer's livid face with a strange expression.

Casinos are illegal in the Kingdom of Loen.

But in the kingdom's vast overseas colonies, it was not only legal but also a pillar industry.

And Bayam is the best among them.

But as for casinos, everyone who knows about them knows that you always lose more than you win.

The wealthy people who came from Backlund and the coast of the Sea often returned with nothing but their pants.

If you lose money, nothing will happen.

But if you win money, the problem becomes much more complicated.

Although they won’t stop you from leaving in person, that would bring disrepute to the casino.

But once you leave the casino, whatever happens has nothing to do with the casino.

After all, this is a maritime colony, and the thing it has the most is pirates.

Even in Bayam, it was quite reasonable to be robbed while walking on the street.

The owner of this gold coin casino is a gang leader with a strong background, and he has an unclear but vague connection with the big shot in the Governor's Mansion.

Those who know know what will happen after you walk out of the casino.

But as long as there is no evidence that the person who robbed you is related to the casino, then it has nothing to do with the casino.

You can only admit that you are unlucky.

of course.

No matter how strong the casino thugs are, they can never be stronger than a demigod.

At most, he was Sequence 6. Even Alger wouldn't be too scared, let alone Ember who could kill a demigod alone.

The only problem is.

This will cause them a lot of trouble and may waste a lot of time.

"But..."

Alger stroked his chin.

Since Yu Jin doesn't care, he certainly won't persuade her.

The right way is to make money by taking advantage of others.

After all, he doesn't have as good luck as Yu Jin if he comes to the casino by himself.

That will only make you lose everything.

"Let's go."

Yu Jin suddenly stood up and said casually.

Alger raised his eyebrows, put away his chips and followed Yu Jin out, exchanging them for gold pounds at the window.

In front of the large French window on the second floor of the casino, a bald-headed man in a suit and tie was looking at two people exchanging chips at the window.

Behind him, a subordinate who was also dressed in a suit and leather shoes made a throat-cutting gesture and asked for instructions.

"Boss, should we..."

"idiot."

The bald man glanced at his men and said unhappily, "Tell the people below to let them go. I can still afford the compensation of 10,000 gold pounds."

In his casino, cheating is useless.

Only the truly 'lucky ones' can win money from him.

But luck alone is not enough.

Because he has a magical item made of the extraordinary characteristics of the Monster Path Sequence 5 winner, which can bring bad luck to the enemy.

He wouldn't care if he won a few hundred or a thousand pounds.

But if the opponent wins too much by 'luck', don't blame him for using magical items as well.

And being able to resist the bad luck of this magical item means that the other party is at least a winner of Monster Path Sequence 5!
It would undoubtedly be the most foolish thing to do to make an enemy of such a person just for a mere ten thousand pounds.

not to mention.

The other party only won more than 10,000 gold pounds, which was already giving him enough face.

He can't be shameless.

"Yes, boss."

The subordinate hurriedly nodded his head in agreement, but at the end he trembled and said, "There is one more thing. 'Silver Coin Viper' Odell has commissioned someone to find a person wearing ten strange rings."

"Oh?"

The bald man's expression slightly changed, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Did you find this person? Do you know what he looks like?"

“I haven’t found it yet…”

"Then tell me what you mean. We are doing a legal business. We should not do such dishonest and backstabbing things. Also, don't get involved with such people in the future."

"……clear."

"But you have to keep looking for him, but don't tell Odell, understand?"

"Also, go find out who asked Odell to find that person."

"clear."

The subordinate lowered his head with a strange expression.

Let him find someone but not tell Odell, isn't that just waiting for the right price?
and also.

Although Odell often provides half-true and half-false intelligence, he is an intelligence dealer after all.

Stabbing people in the back, isn't this something you often do, boss?

……

"No one came to cause trouble?"

Alger, who was far away from the casino, looked back at the empty street with a look of surprise.

"Not really."

Yu Jin glanced at Alger and said, "It's only 10,000 gold pounds. People who can afford such a big casino won't go to great lengths for such a small amount of money."

"It's just a small amount of money?"

Alger's expression twitched, but when he thought of Yu Jin's strength, perhaps this was just a small amount of money to him.

Alger shook his head, even though Yu Jin had already shown enough strength.

But his mindset has not been completely changed and he is not yet fully adapted.

After all, he is only a Sequence 6—

Although the required extraordinary materials were already at hand, his potion digestion progress was not that fast.

But it's okay.

Although his luck was not very good, he still made a small profit by betting with Ember this time.

so.

This wave is not a loss.

……

The next morning, in Charles's mansion.

The knock on the door scared Charles so much that he trembled all over. Finally, he gritted his teeth, walked to the door and opened it.

"It's you."

Sweating profusely, Charles opened the door and forced a smile when he saw the two people.

"Why are you sweating so much?"

Alger suddenly frowned and asked.

"..."

Sharf's expression froze, and he smiled bitterly, "Do you think magical items are so easy to transform? Not to mention me, even if you were to do it all night long, you would be the same as me."

"Where's the stuff?"

Alger shook his head and asked again.

"It's on the table."

Charles, who had not slept all night, wiped the sweat off his face, looked a little tired, and pointed to the table in the living room.

Ember glanced over.

The 'Concerto of Light and Shadow', which was originally a metal pocket watch, was transformed into a golden wristwatch.

The lucky clover was made into a necklace, and the four-leaf clover inside was covered up so that the original shape could not be recognized.

The iron black glove had the palm removed and became a wrist guard.

The biggest change was made to 'Revere's Scream', which changed from a rugged appearance with six thick barrels to an ordinary-looking revolver.

"what happened?"

Alger frowned and asked, "Isn't this unchanged?"

"There's not enough time!"

Sharf immediately complained, "You just came to me yesterday. Even if I worked overtime all night, I couldn't fix it so quickly. What's more, the grade of these magical items is so high! This is just me. If it were someone else, they would be lucky to fix one for you."

Although Yu Jin's request was not high, he just wanted him to change his appearance slightly.

But these are magical items after all, and even if they only change their appearance, they may be damaged if you are not careful.

In addition, due to the short time, Sharf could only make some minor changes to the appearance.

For example, changing a pocket watch into a wristwatch, and changing a talisman into a necklace.

But even so, he had to be careful to avoid damaging the extraordinary properties at its core.

If he wants to completely change the shape, such as turning the watch into a necklace or a ring, it is not impossible for him to do so.

But this is a huge amount of work and takes a lot of time, one night is definitely not enough!

The other three items are all fine and only require slight modifications to the original ones.

So he spent most of last night remaking 'Revere's Desperate Scream'.

This caused this magical item to change its appearance drastically.

"Forget it, that's it."

Compared to Alger's dissatisfaction, Yu Jin didn't care at all. He waved his hand and said, "As long as people can't recognize your original appearance, it's fine."

Hearing this, Charles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Alger wasn't too worried. After all, they had known each other for so long, so they wouldn't do anything too extreme.

He was afraid that the embers would vent their anger on him.

And the wrath of a demigod was something he could not bear.

"Let's go."

Yu Jin walked to the table, clenched his hands in the air, and put all four magical items into his soul space.

Charles watched silently the whole time until the two turned and left, disappearing at the end of the street.

And when the two figures completely disappeared.

Charles's highly tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

When he finally came to his senses, he found that his back was already completely wet with sweat!

Beads of sweat could not stop oozing out of his forehead.

It looks like he is tired, but he is actually scared!
Because there was one thing he hadn't told the two of them.

He indeed did not sleep all night, as he was busy helping the other party transform the magical items.

But in fact, someone did come to see him along the way.

The other party is also an old acquaintance, and I have asked him to make many magical items.

The other party's question was very simple, asking him if he had ever seen a person wearing ten rings.

Because according to the other party's guess, those ten rings should all be magical items.

Some of them might have been made by Sharf.

Of course Sharf had seen it!
Right at his house.

But does he dare to say it?
dare not!

That's a demigod!
He didn't dare reveal the information to those who came to inquire because he was afraid of retaliation afterwards.

But he didn't dare tell Yu Jin and the others about this experience because he was afraid that they would kill him to silence him.

"There's something wrong with him."

At the corner at the end of the street, Alger looked at Sharf's mansion and said in a deep voice, "He didn't react this strongly when he saw us yesterday, but now he suddenly looks like he's afraid to see us."

"Either he accidentally broke your things, or someone is asking him for information about us."

The former is naturally impossible, as all the magical items are in Ember's hands.

He had already discovered any problems.

The second possibility is most likely.

Alger hesitated and whispered, "He probably wouldn't dare to tell the secret, but just in case, should we..."

"no need."

Yu Jin glanced at Alger, and after a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether he informed on us or not. He is not the only one who saw us coming. But this is indeed a problem. Let's leave as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Alger nodded, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Sharf had known him for a long time, so it was good to save his life.

However, Alger knew that Yu Jin was afraid of trouble.

And coincidentally, he was also afraid of trouble——

After all, it was obvious at first glance that the group was definitely looking for Embers, and it was very likely that they were the force to which the demigod who was killed belonged, most likely the Royal Family of Loen.

Ember could just go back to Backlund, but he still had to stay at sea.

So he is more inclined to proactively avoid trouble rather than wait for trouble to come to him.

However, plans often fail to keep up with changes.

Although Alger was familiar with Bayam, and although they had tried their best to avoid crowded places, and although they had tried their best to reach the port in the shortest time.

But when they arrived at the port, they found that the port, which had been quite bustling, was empty.

There was only one figure on the dock next to the Blue Avenger, a bald man in a suit and tie.

As if he was tired of standing, he was squatting on the ground in a very casual posture.

Her legs were spread outward, her hands were on her thighs, and she was looking up at the two of them with her eyes narrowed.

"The person who came here is evil!"

Alger secretly raised his vigilance and touched the ring on his hand inconspicuously.

That was the magical item he had obtained from Sharf yesterday, the Whip of Spirit.

"Be careful."

Alger whispered, "Remember the Gold Coin Casino yesterday? He is the owner of that casino."

He recognized the man in front of him, or rather, he had seen him from a distance before.

So he recognized the other party at the first moment and determined that the other party had no good intentions.

But what puzzled him was

Why is he the only one here?

As the boss of the Gold Coin Casino, the other party has a large number of thugs under his command.

"do you know?"

The bald man looked at the two people approaching and suddenly said leisurely, "This world is very interesting. For example, it has something called the Law of Convergence of Beyonder Characteristics."

"To put it simply, high-sequence items from the same or similar pathways will intermittently and unconsciously attract mid- and low-sequence Beyonders to their vicinity, and they tend to gather together."

"Low-sequences are unaware of this attraction, while high-sequences can detect it."

"Now it seems that this law also applies to us outsiders."

"Of course this isn't surprising. After all, you're popular."

"but."

The bald man paused, and suddenly smiled brightly, "It seems that I am one of the first people to discover you."

Alger had a strange expression.

When he first met him, he thought this person must be a very serious person.

But why does his voice sound so vulgar?

Yu Jin stared at the familiar man in front of him expressionlessly, while the bald man waved his hand and said:

"Don't look at me like that. I won't kneel on the ground this time."

"Well...we've long since put those little grudges behind us, haven't we?"

Yu Jin did not comment on the bald man's words, but just nodded slightly, and then silently took out the Irithyll Straight Sword. But after thinking about it, he replaced the Irithyll Straight Sword with the Astra Great Sword.

"wait wait wait!"

The bald man's expression changed slightly, and he said hurriedly, "I'm not here to fight with you, at least not now. I have to wait for you and Ge..."

"What are you waiting for?"

Yu Jin frowned slightly, and although he still didn't put away his weapon, his movements stopped.

"Tsk."

The bald man smacked his lips and said, "It seems that you were really burned by the fire. The memory loss is quite serious."

“I definitely forget a lot of things.”

Yu Jin raised his sword and pointed it at the bald man, saying slowly, "But at least, I should never forget you for the rest of my life, Patch."

"Then I'm truly honored."

The bald man, or Patch, had a rather strange expression on his face, and said helplessly, "But no matter what, I don't think I'll have the chance to backstab you again in the future, and there's no need for you to be so hostile to me, right?"

Yu Jin still had no expression on his face, and just walked towards Patch step by step.

"Hey, hey, hey! There's no need to do this, right?"

"No way, no way? You want to kill me again after just meeting me? Again?"

"Don't you want to know what happened?"

Patch realized something was wrong and the sound became more and more rapid.

When Yu Jin heard his last sentence, he stopped and nodded slightly at him.

"continue."
