Gullit reached out to touch the dagger at his waist, but the other party was faster. With one hand, lightning reached out, grabbed his throat and lifted him up. With the other hand, he swept away Gullit's dagger at his waist. Then, he shrunk his shoulders and waved his fist. The tip of his fist was wrapped in a few ribbons of Origin Energy, and it smashed heavily into Gullit's lower abdomen. Immediately, the ferocious Origin Energy pierced straight into Gullit, accompanied by the pillar-like fist wind that shot out, causing Gullit's entire body to fly backwards!
He heavily smashed into the mirror on the wall of the bathroom, causing the mirror to shatter into pieces. Gullit's eyes widened as he slid out a trail of blood from the wall and sat powerlessly on the ground. His head tilted, and there was no sound. Robert's figure was reflected in the fragments of the mirror on the wall. He wiped his blood-stained fist with a handkerchief, then silently pulled out a tactical dagger. After stabbing Gullit's body for a while, he simply left the dagger on his body.
He then picked up the banknotes in the killer's pocket and deliberately left one or two at the window before leaving through the main entrance.
Half an hour later, Anna and another man were standing next to Gullit's body.
Anna put on her gloves and squatted down to examine Gullit's corpse. Then she sneered, "What a clumsy method. She clearly used her fierce fist strength to shock him to death. Look at the bones and internal organs inside, they are almost turned into meat paste, but they still want to stab around with a short knife. Are you trying to disturb the line of sight? "
She walked to the window and picked up the two bills. "You want to make it look like a robbery? It's really careful to be so scheming to silence someone. But the more careful you are, the bigger the trick will be. "
'"Gray Eagle, go and investigate the origins of these people. If they only arrived in Black Street this year, I want the exact date they appeared in Black Street. Oh, right. And the details of their situation in the past three months. If they are newcomers, there will definitely be a middleman to connect them. I hope those guys won't be killed. "Anna said.
The man who came with her nodded silently, then pushed the door open and left. Anna left the two bills in her hand where they were, shook her head at Gullit's corpse, and walked out of the room.
Not long after, the soldiers from the Chamber of Commerce who were in charge of the territory arrived. They packed up the corpses and carried them away in an orderly manner. During the whole process, no one asked anything. Other than the two bills by the window being stuffed into the pocket of a soldier, they didn't even care who died.
After all, this was Black Street. People died every day. Who would care about such things?
A week later, Hawes stood in the study and watched from above as Allen got into a flying car and left the castle.
Behind him was Anna and the housekeeper, Helsing.
Horn turned around and said, "In other words, three hyenas died in Black Street this week?"
"Yes, my lord. Our trail is completely cut off. "Anna replied.
Hyena was another name for killer brokers. They were similar in nature to Ward, the owner of the Old Oak Bar. However, they were far from Old Ward's qualifications. Moreover, these agents did not ask about the identities of their employers and targets. They pursued benefits first and had no principles at all. That was why they were called hyenas by the outside world.
"Looks like the other party did it quite cleanly. Then, what's your next plan?" Horn looked at his secret warrior and asked.
Anna smiled and said, "After the last hyena was killed, I knew that I probably wouldn't be able to find anything on Black Street." After all, the killers who attacked Young Master Sun were all newcomers. Their relationship in Black Street was too shallow, and very few people knew them, except for the hyenas that were silenced. If the plan failed, killing them to silence them wouldn't be a special thing. But the other party's speed is very fast. It's as if he knows what we're going to do every step of the way, so he's getting ahead of us. "
"You mean, it might have been done by someone from the clan?"
Anna shrugged. "I can't rule out this possibility, so I entrusted Mr. Helsing to do a survey of the family's finances for the past six months. Mr. Helsing seems to have some clues."
Horn looked at the butler one by one.
Helsing nodded and said, "After Lady Anna gave the order, I secretly checked the family's income and expenditure for the past six months and found that one of the transactions was very important."
"Oh, I'd like to hear more." Horn said.
"That's the account of one of our model-based assembly line factories in the seventh district on the surface. One of their transactions to purchase raw materials in the last quarter was about 20% higher than in other quarters. I secretly pulled out their production reports and related information for that quarter. Now, one of them is not up to standard. The raw materials used in that batch of mold bases are far from our standards, and they are now piled up in the factory's warehouse. According to the warehouse supervisor, they will be disposed of as defective products. "
"In other words, someone used shoddy materials to buy raw materials and embezzled the huge difference in the middle?" Horn laughed, "Not bad, he's a cautious fellow. In this way, if we only investigate the income and expenditure of the family members, it will be very difficult to find out anything fishy. "
"Being able to do this means that you are very familiar with our business dealings and operations." Horn nodded and said, "Mr. Helsing, you and Anna continue to dig for this clue. But don't alert the snake. That difference is a clue. However, the other party won't swallow it blatantly. After all, that will leave too obvious a trace. In that case, there will definitely be some operations that will turn it into a reasonable income. "
"You have to investigate carefully. Perhaps, you will dig out some other interesting things." Horn said softly, "It's time to get rid of some rats and ants for the family's granary."
Allen returned to the Dawn Blade when the Bescot Patriarch revealed his extraordinary might. Hearing that he had been attacked in Black Street, his friends from the academy greeted him one after another. Especially Green. After all, he was the one who invited Allen to Black Street. Otherwise, Allen wouldn't have been attacked. Green blamed himself for this, and Allen naturally wouldn't blame him until there was definite evidence that Green was related to the attack.
After that, Allen immersed himself in the exploration of the sea of knowledge. Because of his comprehension in Black Street that night, in Allen's eyes, all disciplines were part of the knowledge system, and there was no longer any so-called emphasis on them. He absorbed all the knowledge he could come into contact with and integrated it.
Finally, on the night of the last month of midsummer, Allen combined the knowledge he had learned over the past year, combined with his occasional inspiration, and transformed it into a design plan for the Magic Cube sequence. He wrote hard, spent all night finishing the plan, and delivered it to Hughton the next night.
"Let me see, Thorny Sword Armor. The components are Silent Guardian, Straight Saber Dark Destruction … "Hughton glanced at the design plan. There were illustrations of the Magic Energy Armor Silent Guardian and the Straight Saber Dark Destruction. He put down the plan and asked doubtfully, "What are you doing, Allen? Aren't these your two magic energy weapons? "
"Continue reading, teacher." Allen smiled.
Only then did Hughton continue to look down. Behind the two magic energy weapons was the design of a sequence map. The pivot array used by this sequence was not one of the basic pivot arrays, and its energy conduction circuit carried an indescribable flavor. Hughton began to seriously look at the circuit design of the pivot array and the arrangement of the source points. In the end, his gaze landed on the name of the sequence: Fusion Matrix!
The old drunkard looked back and discovered that the sequences of Silent Guardian and Straight Saber Dark Destruction had also been adjusted. Their energy conduction circuits and source points were slightly different from before. Combined with the fusion matrix below, Hughton suddenly realized, "Damn, so this is a sequence set?"
However, he shook his head and said, "No, the final ability of your Thorny Sword Armor, the Thorny Sword Formation, is a combination of the energy absorption of the Silent Guardian and the Origin Energy Saber Light of the Straight Saber Dark Destruction. In other words, two single abilities form the final ability of a sequence set without consuming any additional Origin Energy! "
"This is very different from the concept of a set proposed by Monroe." Hughton put down Allen's design plan, stumbled into the study, and took out a book.
This obviously old paper book was pushed in front of Allen. The title of the book was "On the Possibility of a Sequence Set", and the author's signature was Monroe, the father of the Demon Martial Arts. Hughton patted the book with his hand and said, "This is Monroe's work in his later years, and it is also an important key to opening the sequence set. After Monroe proposed to replicate the Origin Tool and create the first magic energy weapon, he devoted his entire life to this field. "
The appearance of magic energy weapons was an important milestone in the history of human weapons exhibition. It represented the beginning of a completely new era in the creation of weapons exhibitions. However, magic energy weapons also had limitations. For example, the single ability and the power that was far inferior to the Origin Tool made Monroe, the father of the Demon Martial Arts, feel extremely regretful. In Monroe's later years, he proposed the possibility of a sequence set.
The concept of this set was similar to Allen's, but it was not the same.
Monroe's idea was to split a high-level sequence into several low-level sequences and implant them into different weapons components. When equipped with these magic weapon components, activate all the low-level sequences to activate the high-level abilities. The proposal of this concept led to the birth of the Sequence Set in later generations, allowing Origin Energy practitioners of low levels to use abilities that surpassed their levels.
However, all the magic weapon components of Monroe's Sequence Set were for the ultimate ability. The sequence of the components themselves did not carry their own abilities. In fact, they could be seen as components of high-level sequences. Moreover, after being improved by the Sequence Masters of later generations, they were still unable to avoid one of the shortcomings of the set. That was the additional Origin Energy that needed to be paid for the ability to transcend levels!
Looking back at Allen's design, the Silent Guardian and the Straight Saber Dark Destruction were originally two unrelated magic energy weapons, but after inserting the fusion matrix, the two were integrated into a set of Thorny Sword Armor. Of course, its set ability was defined by the level of the equipment itself, but the Thorny Sword Formation did not need to pay for additional Origin Energy.
From the looks of the plan, the Thorny Sword Formation was only a fusion of the abilities of two magic weapon components, and its power was not particularly outstanding. He could activate the Origin Energy of two magic weapons, but he could obtain three abilities. That extra ability was the value of the set.
The key to this was the fusion matrix that Allen had personally designed and had never appeared in the known sequence map! Hughton realized that Allen's brand new Magic Cube sequence could bring about a change in the entire field of magic martial arts!
