Wang Zhong stayed in the Old Nissen Tavern for half a month. The Netherworld King, who was supposed to appear, had yet to appear, but Wang Zhong was not anxious. According to the people at the Dragon's Head Shore, the Netherworld King's appearance was not fixed. Sometimes, he would appear for a month, and sometimes, he would appear for two or three months. Regarding information about the Netherworld King, the only information that could be found in the market was what a few of his employees had mentioned. The so-called new information was basically the same, but there was some other information that Wang Zhong was very interested in. For example, everything related to the Earth.
"Hi, Old Black." Outside the tavern, a dark elf walked in and greeted Wang Zhong, who sat in the same position every day. His face was full of smiles.
Wang Zhong smiled and waved at him. There were very few people in the underground world who could make a Black Titan smile at them, but the dark elves were definitely one of them. They were a race that had fallen from the Land, and the two races had a lot in common. They could be considered friends for generations. "You're smiling so happily. How much did you earn today?"
"An intermediary business is just running errands for others. How much can I earn? How can I compare to rich people like you, the Black Titans, who have mines at home? You have plenty of capital. You're only here for the Netherworld King's artifact bag. One transaction from you is enough for us to work hard for ten years. "The dark elf Brewer laughed and sat beside Wang Zhong.
"The more you earn, the greater the risk. There are so many people who are eyeing the Netherworld King's pouch. God knows how high the price will be. It's not as easy as doing business without capital." Wang Zhong smiled and filled his cup for him. The tavern owner did not have any delicacies or fine wine, just some low-quality beer. In a small place like the underground world, it was already good to have alcohol, but one should not expect too much.
Although the strength of this dark elf called Brewer was average, he was a local tyrant at the Dragon's Head Shore. He was very well-informed and was very familiar with the Dragon's Head Shore. He often did some intermediary business without capital and ran errands for some assassin organizations. A few days ago, Lao Wang heard him brag in the tavern about the newcomer who had recently risen rapidly on the assassin list. He felt that he was an old friend, and Lao Wang had the intention to befriend him. Coincidentally, the identity of a Black Titan was a good match for a dark elf. After two rounds of drinking, he felt that Wang Zhong was rich and overbearing. This dark elf also expressed his goodwill and talked to Wang Zhong about everything.
"By the way, I have some clues about the assassin you asked me to investigate last time." As soon as Brewer sat down, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously in Lao Wang's ear, "Unfortunately, it's only some superficial information such as names. Old Black, you know that assassin organizations usually don't reveal specific information about assassins. I was able to find out about this because of my connections with many old friends …"
Wang Zhong smiled and threw ten Gold Star Stones at him. He was already prepared to spend money on this trip. The Black Titans were a famous wealthy race in the underground world. They occupied many rare mines and resources in the underground world. They were the typical nouveau riche.
"Hey, Old Black, look at you. I didn't mean that." Brewer's eyes lit up. He pretended to decline and accepted it. He smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. He lowered his voice and said, "This is the mission information I just got …"
Wang Zhong took it and looked at it. He saw that it was densely packed with beautiful words in the language of the Star Alliance. It was obvious that it was a mission report regarding the assassin.
He had entered the Assassin League for less than a year and had carried out 27 missions in a frenzy. He had assassinated 21 Foundational Stages and 16 Void Cores with a 100% success rate. Now, he was ranked 158th on the list of assassins! Putting aside the Foundational Stages, the 16 Void Cores were the targets of the assassin organization. Every single one of them was either a ruthless expert or had an extraordinary background, great power, and countless experts by their side. Even a master assassin would need a few days to investigate and gather information when faced with such a target before he could find an opportunity. However, this little thing had always been able to complete the mission silently. Furthermore, he had done it in the short span of a year. This was simply unbelievable. What was even more unbelievable was the small text below. "He is currently carrying out an SS-level mission. The target is a Gold Core expert. The outcome of the mission is unknown."
Although the outcome was unknown, even among the countless assassins in the Assassin League, there were definitely very few assassins who had the courage to assassinate a Gold Core expert. Putting aside the difficulty of assassination, a Gold Core was a taboo. Assassins who dared to do this either had an extremely powerful background and were not afraid of implicating their race or were lone wolves. According to the information, this mysterious assassin was obviously the latter. "The origins of that assassin are very mysterious.
"That assassin's origins are very mysterious. He has never revealed his real name to anyone, but based on his figure and aura, he seems like the Earthlings who have recently become very popular. He has the appearance of a celestialoid, has no wings, and is ruthless and sinister in his attacks. Furthermore, he is extremely adept at disguising himself and his natural endowments in space. It's said that even the detection abilities of the three major sects cannot detect the form of his power. He looks very weak, but his assassination abilities are top-notch. Oh, that's right.
He had suddenly risen from insignificance two years ago. His figure and aura were close to that of an Earthling, and he was good at disguising himself and had natural endowments in space.
Wang Zhong's heart moved slightly. He was already 70% to 80% confident. However, he still felt that the mission to assassinate a Gold Core was somewhat unbelievable. Wang Zhong was already very surprised that Mu Zi was able to kill Elder Musin, a Gold Core expert. However, Napier Mo had only been in the divine territory for two to three years, yet he had such abilities. It looked like everyone had had a fortuitous encounter. Wang Zhong felt extremely comfortable.
His expression did not change. He simply said, "Why are there Earthlings everywhere?"
"Ha ha. Why else would Earthlings be so popular recently?" Brewer laughed out loud. When he talked about Earthlings, he was not as cautious as when he talked about the mysterious assassin, 'little thing'. In the underground world, the flow of information was unbridled. There was no such thing as controlling public opinion, unless it involved some secret internal information such as an assassin organization.
"In our underground world alone, the Netherworld King is the most famous and has the clearest identity. He came from Earth, but he said that this mysterious killer is also suspected to be an Earthling. Further away, in the Land, I heard that there is a rising star in the Arena called Aiolos. He is also from Earth, and his combat strength is astonishing. He is only at the Void Core Realm, but he can kill Solid Core experts and even cooperate with the arrogant Titans. I heard that he has recently become a Solid Core, and his opponents have become Gold Cores. I don't know if this is true or not, but he is extremely popular. Of course, I feel that the Titans on the ground cannot compare to you.
It's too fake. "Wang Zhong smiled and did not comment. Then, he continued to say," In addition, I heard that there is an even more impressive guy in the Heavenly Gates called Wang Zhong. He actually entered the Celestial Honors Class in the Land and has a great backer like the Heavenly Shell Race. He even defeated the new leader of the Fire Demon Race in public. He is doing very well in the higher-ups in the Land … "
Wang Zhong was not too surprised that news about him had spread to the underground world. The various races had witnessed the battle with Phumetheus, and his name had already spread throughout the Land. It was not surprising that news had spread to the underground world. However, he did not expect Brewer to have another piece of news that he did not know.
"Putting aside the news that everyone knows, there's an even more explosive piece of news that has just spread from the assassin organization!" Brewer leaned over and said mysteriously, "Old Black, have you heard of the Mirror World?"
"That place where criminals are exiled?" Wang Zhong had come into contact with the Law Enforcement Association before and was quite familiar with the various places of punishment and exile in the Land. The Mirror World was one of them. Just like the Demon Realm where the Shell Shade Faction Elder had been exiled, it was a place where criminals who had committed the most heinous crimes were exiled. Furthermore, they almost never returned.
Brewer nodded repeatedly. "I heard that there has been a riot in the Mirror World recently, and the news has been blocked by the higher-ups. I heard that there are now several rebel armies there, and they have united to break the structure of the Mirror World. They have taken in the vicious exiled criminals, unified their management, and restricted the killings between them. This has given the higher-ups in the Land a headache. You know, this kind of place of exile is a place where the higher-ups in the Land let the criminals fight among themselves and fend for themselves. Now that there is suddenly no fighting and peace, what is going on? However, dealing with the rebel armies in this place of exile is definitely time-consuming and exhausting. The higher-ups in the Land are also unwilling to mobilize a large army. Thus, assassin organizations in the underground world have issued assassination missions to assassinate the leaders of the rebel armies. Thus, this news has been leaked. "
When Brewer said this, he paused slightly and revealed a mysterious smile, as if he knew what Lao Wang was most interested in. "Furthermore, the name of the leader of the most famous of these rebel armies is also very mysterious. I heard that if anyone asks about him, he will tell them not to ask. Furthermore, his cultivation techniques and combat methods are extremely similar to the Buddhist Faction, which was once very popular in the Land. Thus, everyone calls him the Nameless Buddha, and he is suspected to be an Earthling!"
Buddha? He was suspected to be an Earthling and told people not to ask? It was probably Mo Wen!
Even though what Brewer had said was just various guesses, Lao Wang could almost confirm it. This was because he had received old news from the Holy City. Mo Wen and Mo Xingchen had been sent to serve in the battlefield because of their dark identities when they first entered the Land. After that, it seemed that Mo Wen had killed someone in the battlefield, and his crimes were compounded. Thus, his punishment was upgraded and he was sent to the land of exile. With the intelligence system on Earth at that time, they simply did not know where they had been exiled to. This was the information that Wang Zhong had obtained from the Law Enforcement Association: Mo Wen and Mo Xingchen had been exiled to the Mirror World. Furthermore, they had been exiled for an unbelievable 100 years!
At that moment, when he heard that the leader of the rebel armies in the Mirror World was suspected to be Mo Wen, Lao Wang was both surprised and happy. Back then, he had heard that the Mo siblings had been exiled to the Mirror World. With their strength at that time, Wang Zhong did not hold any hope that they could survive. However, he did not expect that they had actually survived in the Mirror World. Furthermore, Mo Wen had actually become the leader of the rebel armies? This was simply an unexpected surprise.
As a member of the Law Enforcement Association, Wang Zhong could not be more familiar with the land of exile that was closely related to law enforcement.
The Star Alliance had existed for a long time, and the land of exile had existed for a long time. Blood, cruelty, and killing were the only main theme of this kind of place. Over the endless years, the exiled criminals were no longer willing to live such a dark life. Under the leadership of a powerful person, they organized themselves and used their own methods to change the theme of killing in the Land of Exile, allowing the criminals to live in peace. There were many cases in which the exiled criminals got along with each other. They would not really attack the ruling position of the Star Alliance. They only organized themselves and customized their own rules. They wanted a relatively peaceful living environment. The so-called rebellion was just a saying in the Star Alliance. This kind of thing could even be said to happen in every era, but it had never lasted for a long time.
The attitude of the Heavenly Gates toward this kind of land of exile had never changed since ancient times. This was the same nature as the underground world, except that it was even harsher. "Exile" represented the ruling method of the ruling class. This way of dealing with dangerous people who had nothing to do with right or wrong, balancing conflicts, and maintaining the rule. Furthermore, it was the bottom line of safety in the divine territory.
The Law Enforcement Association, the Heavenly Shell race, the Heavenly Gates … Many names and information about the history of the rebel army in the land of exile flashed rapidly in Wang Zhong's mind. He wanted to find some loopholes that he could exploit. It was impossible to use his relationship with the Machinery race and the Heavenly Shell race to directly apply for a "death-exemption gold medal" for Mo Wen. The leader of the rebel army in the land of exile was on the Star Alliance's must-kill list. However, if things were more complicated, there should be other ways to exploit them. All the rules in the Star Alliance that seemed fair and had no loopholes actually left room for the nobles from the high-leveled civilizations to exploit.
"A low-leveled civilization that has just stepped into the Star Alliance for three years has produced so many experts one after another. These Earthlings are really not simple. Lao Hei, you are not the only one who is interested. Right now, in the entire underground world, including those people in the Land, who does not know the name 'Earth'? " Brewer did not know what Lao Wang was thinking. When he saw that Lao Wang was deep in thought, he thought that Lao Wang was feeling sentimental about the rise of the Earthlings. As he spoke, he shook his head continuously. "Back then, the rise of the Heavenly Shell race relied on pill refinery, but the Earthlings are even more ferocious. All of them can fight. In my opinion, given time, the Earth might become the template for the second Heavenly Shell race …"
The template for the second Heavenly Shell race?
No one understood the situation on the Earth better than him. Even if the information from Mo Wen, Napier, and the others was accurate and without mistake, they could only represent some individuals. In terms of the civilization as a whole, the potential and natural endowments of the Earthlings were still the lowest in the entire Star Alliance. Perhaps a few experts who could become famous for a time had appeared in this generation and supported the future of the Earth. They might even allow the level of the Earth's civilization to rapidly increase, but they were still far from the Heavenly Shell race. The Heavenly Shell race represented the entire civilization. Everyone could become an alchemist! Everyone had the natural endowments to accumulate their Core! There were countless Gold Core experts in the race. How could the Earth, which had only produced a few dazzling geniuses and had no historical foundation, compare to them?
