Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

Boom boom boom!

Smoke filled the sky, obscuring visibility.

Those who had initially warned Lin Mao now shut their mouths, hiding in corners, covering their mouths, and staring wide-eyed at Lin Mao.

call!

"Go to hell!"

A gentle breeze blew by, breaking through the smoke, and a dark figure extended its sharp claws, rushing straight at Lin Mao.

"You've made me laugh so many times, do you even know how many times you've made me laugh?!"

There is absolutely no pressure.

Snapped!

After the snap of his fingers, crimson flames appeared behind him, transforming into the scythe of death as Lin Mao moved, falling towards the shadowy figure.

"Evil Moon Bloodfire? You're really from the Crimson Moon Dynasty?!"

The shadowy figure blurted out, his voice filled with surprise. He had thought Lin Mao was joking and trying to trick him, but he hadn't expected that the other party was actually related to the Crimson Moon Dynasty.

'Oh no! I can't stop!'

'It's just a mere attack from the Calamity Moon Bloodfire; I can withstand it!'

The shadowy figure's eyes revealed a ruthless intent, and the eerie light in its claws shone even brighter as it extended its claws towards the scythe formed from the blood fire of the Calamity Moon.

"Break it for me!"

He roared, the blood-red scythe vanished in the air, and he laughed.

"Hahaha, I'm the better one!"

Looking up, he saw Lin Mao, whose face showed no panic, but whose eyes were filled with indifference.

call--

The heat wave hit him in the face, causing him to squint involuntarily. The light shone down from above, illuminating him and seemingly dispelling the darkness around him.

The shadowy figure stared blankly at the source of the light.

A giant sword made of flames hung above his head, its blazing heat palpable even from a distance.

Without hesitation, the dark figure turned around and swooped down to the ground to escape.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"How can there be such immense power?!"

"fall!"

A sound came from behind, and the dark figure felt the scorching heat of flames on his back, causing his expression to change again.

'Oh no! There's no escaping it! Damn it!'

Then his eyes hardened, he reached into his chest, threw a fragment-like object onto the ground, and turned to charge at the giant sword.

Unfortunately, he failed to defeat the flames this time.

The flames pierced right through him, setting him ablaze. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace, leaving not even ashes behind.

This scene was witnessed by almost everyone in Nordkale, including those living near Nordkale.

Because that giant sword made of flames was simply too big.

It's hard not to see it.

The Lunar Torque Experiment Design Bureau, which is the stronghold established by the Fools in Nodcale, is the territory of the puppet Sandonne.

While I was working on Lin Mao's data model, an alarm suddenly went off outside, and I could hear other people talking.

Sandonne frowned, put down his work, and went out to see what was causing the alarm.

Once outside, Sandone stared blankly at the sky above Xixi Island.

Until everything returns to normal.

Sandogne received a message from his servant Arecino.

"There was signal interference just now... What are your thoughts after witnessing what just happened?"

She could see what was happening on Xixi Island even in the Winter Kingdom.

This demonstrates just how massive the event was.

"...Was it Lin Mao who did it?"

After a long silence, Sandonne asked a question that seemed to already have an obvious answer.

For the first time, the thought of wanting someone to refute her arose in her mind.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Arecino admitted what she said.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's him."

"What happened to him on Xixi Island...?"

"Someone must have provoked him. He rarely uses this level of power... Now you realize it, right? What happened between you and him before was just a minor squabble."

Arecino continued:

"If he gets serious, take what you see as the standard. I estimate you have a 0.01 percent chance of surviving."

"Also... such an attack won't exhaust him. You should understand what I mean. In other words, he can still unleash such an attack many times in a row."

Sandoni: "..."

"Then my model..."

"I suggest deleting it so he doesn't see it, otherwise he'll keep bothering you with this."

Arecino had already guessed Lin Mao's next move.

I can only say that he is indeed an intelligence officer.

His analytical skills are truly remarkable.

at the same time.

Lin Mao's side returned to calm, and under his control, apart from signs of soil being turned over, there were no other traces at the scene.

Despite being scorched by the fire, the land did not turn into scorched earth, and even the flowers growing on the ground were not burned.

Only the dark figure was purified by the flames.

The only pity is that not all of them were left behind; the other party deliberately separated a portion of the fragments and escaped with their consciousness.

The remaining fragments were left behind to buy time for the escapees.

"The Moon Hunters... why did they have to provoke me for no reason? They overestimated themselves."

Lin Mao shook his head. The consequence of overestimating one's abilities is that countless years of hard work will be in vain.

"It's all over, you can come out now."

"You, you're so strong!"

The girl jumped out from behind the rock, her face still showing shock, and she was a little nervous in front of Lin Mao.

"You actually managed to... hehehe, sorry, I'm at a loss for words, I don't know how to describe you."

"But that talking shadowy figure was Wild Hunt... the boss will definitely be interested in this information!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry. I'll share the Mora with you when I get it. I'll take the small portion and you can take the large portion."

So nervous that he forgot himself and talked to himself for ages.

"Don't be nervous. Talk to me. You can treat me like a friend."

Lin Mao said with a smile.

Upon meeting Lin Mao's gaze, the girl instinctively looked to the side, then, realizing it might be inappropriate, she turned her gaze back, persisting in staring at him for two seconds before finally giving in.

He lowered his head and thought to himself.

'Isn't this person embarrassed at all?'

'Making eye contact with a stranger...'

"Um, hello, my name is Yakoda, and I'm an employee of the Secret Archives."

"Lin Mao, a traveler."

"Traveler?"

"Don't understand? In other words, a street hustler is someone who wanders around aimlessly when they have nothing better to do."

This statement completely baffled Yakoda; she couldn't believe someone in this world would describe themselves like that.

Shouldn't we always talk about the good things and hide or downplay our bad points?

wrong.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing to wander around aimlessly when you have nothing to do.

This means he... is at least very rich!

After all, how can you have time to wander around if you don't have money?

They should be busy making money everywhere.

That's just how I am.

Sigh, it's all too painful to talk about, I don't want to think about it anymore! Time to get to work!

"Brother Lin Mao, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have work to do. Let's chat again next time!"

Yakoda was about to leave, but after taking only a few steps, she turned back. "Excuse me, where should the Mora obtained in exchange for the information from the shadowy figure be sent?"

“Nata, Lord of Smoke Mystery, Grandma Obsidian.”

Lin Mao thought for a moment and revealed Sitella's address, since only her location was fixed and not far from Nordkale.

“Nata, Smoke Mystery Master, Obsidian Grandma… So you’re a Nata, big brother.”

"I've heard that Nata is the land of dragons, with lots and lots of dragons, and it's very dangerous! Is that true?"

【Ding dong! 】
