Garon squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while.
"Good … Very good. Griffith, I'll remember this name. " He couldn't make a move now. The city was under high alert and the military was tense. Anyone who dared to provoke the army would be heavily suppressed.
No matter what the reason was, once he made a move against an officer of the army, it would be a rebellion. No matter if there was a good reason or not, he would be hunted down by the totem users in the city. If the situation was serious, he might even be hunted down by the Governor's Dragon Guards. That was a strong totem user army made up of Form 2 White Dragonhawks. They only needed to send out one person to deal with multiple totem users of the same level.
Garon now asked himself, at most he could deal with a normal Form 2 totem user. He had never tried it before, so he had to be extra careful. Although he was confident in himself, this was based on the evolved Deep Swamp Croc. That thing was his hidden trump card, so he couldn't reveal it easily.
Even if he revealed it, whether he could deal with a Form 2 totem user was still a serious problem.
Compared to a primitive totem, an Empowered Totem was actually weaker than a primitive totem. So the Deep Swamp Croc was probably weaker than a primitive Form 2 totem.
Garon's mind was filled with thoughts. He didn't say anything else, threw out a stack of silver rumbs, turned around and left the warehouse.
Griffith and the others behind him suddenly laughed proudly.
Garon suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. If the opponent didn't have a Form 2 totem user present, he might have really made a move. Anyway, as long as he cleaned it up, no one would find out. At most, they would think it was a monster outside the city.
"I hope you can still laugh like this in a few days." Garon's voice came into his ears.
Griffith smiled and was about to reply when he suddenly felt something was wrong. It was as if he was the only one around who heard this sentence. The Form 2 totem users beside him didn't feel anything at all.
The laughter stopped abruptly. Griffith didn't know why, but his heart was slightly cold. He turned around abruptly and looked in the direction Garon left. In just a few seconds, he was completely gone.
"What happened?" The Form 2 totem user beside him, Mecca, asked curiously.
"Didn't you hear a sound?" Griffith's face flashed a trace of uneasiness.
"Sound? What's that sound? "Mai Jia frowned. The soldiers around him also looked at each other with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Griffith was a little flustered. For the first time, he felt a little regret for provoking this guy.
"I feel like something's not right …" He wondered if he was hallucinating.
*****
Garon left the warehouse area. He held back his anger and walked towards the Luminarist Hiring Guild. No matter if it was in his previous life or now, as a martial artist and a Grandmaster of Combat, he had always been a master who killed people like flies. Encountering such a reckless person and not being able to finish him off immediately made him feel even more uneasy.
"There's no rush … There's no rush. We'll have our chance soon …" He knew very well that a large-scale monster attack was coming soon. Even if one or two quartermasters died in that kind of overwhelming attack, no one would notice.
Looking at the situation outside, it was likely that a large-scale siege wouldn't take long.
The most important thing now was to quickly get enough money and get the Black-striped White Tiger.
When he arrived at the Luminarist Hiring Guild, he entered and sat down in the hall, waiting for the others to arrive.
After ordering lunch in the guild, Andy and his sister finally entered the guild at one o 'clock. They immediately saw the striking bald Garon in the corner. Both of them wore the usual grey cloak and walked straight to Garon and sat down opposite him.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days. What have you been doing? How's your vacation? "Andy dusted off his cloak and sat down.
"It's alright. Just something unpleasant happened." Garon replied calmly. "I shouldn't have taken any chances."
"What happened? Let's hear it. "Jessica said softly." Maybe my brother can help you. "
"Forget it. I can handle it myself." Garon smiled. "Let's not talk about this. It's good that you're fine. There are monsters everywhere outside. If it wasn't for the fact that we didn't do anything, we'd be in big trouble."
At the mention of monsters, Andy and his sister's expressions darkened.
Andy didn't say anything. He took out a folded piece of paper and passed it to Garon.
"What's this?" Garon took it and opened it. It was a section of a newspaper that had been cut out.
It was clearly printed on it: The terrorist organization Obscuro announced that they were fighting to create a perfect new world.
Below were the details.
Obscuro announced that they were responsible for the uprisings in many places. At the same time, they issued an ultimatum to the Royal Alliance.
"This was the newspaper two days before the monsters appeared." Andy said softly. "Now we can confirm that Obscuro is the culprit."
Goth arrived quickly. He changed into a brand new pair of overalls and had a crew cut. He looked very energetic. He sat down beside Garon. He picked up the coffee pot on the table and poured it into his mouth.
After finishing the coffee in a few gulps, he put it down heavily and burped.
"How is it? Do you want to do a job!? "
"There's no rush. Everyone, help me out and lend me some money. "Garon said in a low voice. He originally planned to borrow money from Angel, but borrowing money from the people in front of him was the same. He already had 820,000. He only needed 180,000 to get the Black-Striped White Tiger. It wasn't much.
"How much? Just say it. Let's make it clear first. Don't mention it if it's more than 300,000. "Andy waved his hand generously.
"Lend me 180,000."
"No problem." Andy answered quickly. "Luckily you didn't say 300,000. That's all I've saved up."
"Didn't you say you ran out of money last time?" Jessica whispered at the side.
"Do I look like that kind of person?" Andy chuckled.
"Jessica, I saw a pretty good scarf just now, so I bought one for you. For you. " Goth took out a folded scarf and passed it to Jessica. Even an idiot could see the intention on his face.
Jessica blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.
Andy and Garon stood up tactfully. They went to the counter of the Hiring Luminarists Guild and took 180,000 in silver rumbs. They put it in a black bag. Garon took the money and left first. He wanted to buy the Black-Striped White Tiger as soon as possible. Otherwise, the price might increase after a while.
After walking around the alley, they soon arrived at the hidden War Guild. There were fewer people going in and out of the entrance.
After entering the hall, Garon didn't stop and passed the money to the middle-aged man at the counter.
"So fast?" The other party was a little surprised. He was holding a plate of macaroni and munching on it.
"Sorry for the trouble." Garon nodded.
"Then follow me." The middle-aged man didn't say anything else. He stood up and opened the side door. The two of them entered the small room at the back.
Just like last time, they passed through the room and a corridor. Soon, they arrived at a passage with a row of wooden doors.
The middle-aged man took out a key and opened the first wooden door.
"Wait here." He walked in and quickly came out with a black box.
"This is the item you want. There's only one in the whole of Iron Tank City." He threw the black box to Garon.
After receiving the black box, Garon weighed it. The box was like a small jewelry box, light as a feather.
He opened the box with a snap. Between the black velvet, there was a black crystal ring. The activation code was engraved on the cover of the box.
He took out the ring and tested its size. In the end, he could only wear it on the ring finger of his left hand.
"Take a look at the item." The middle-aged man closed the wooden door and looked at him with his back against the door.
Garon nodded and raised his left hand. He read the code on the cover of the box softly.
"Kong Meng La, Ai Ha Duo, Siatunin …" A strange syllable came out of Garon's mouth. This was a literal translation of the ancient code. He didn't understand the meaning behind it. He just read the syllables like pinyin.
His index finger drew a rune in the void of space to activate the technique.
With a swoosh, a black light suddenly shot out from the crystal ring. The black light landed on the ground and instantly expanded into a ball of light. After the ball of light disappeared, a white tiger with black stripes slowly walked to the side of Garen's pants and licked its lips. Its tongue was full of barbs and it could lick off a large piece of flesh in one go.
Roar …
The white tiger growled and squatted beside Garon.
Its body was more than four meters long. Circles of black stripes seemed to be arranged from head to tail. Its thick tail was like a long curled stick.
Garon touched the white tiger's head and looked at the skill pane at the bottom of his vision.
There was already an icon of the black striped white tiger.
'Black striped white tiger: First form totem, can be upgraded. Evolution success rate: 11%. Potential point consumption: 700%.
Ability: Tail whip, piercing bite. '
"11% evolution success rate …" Garon felt his scalp tingle. The fluorescent butterfly's evolution success rate was 21%, but this black striped white tiger's was a pitiful 11%. This meant that he could only succeed once in ten evolution attempts. And each attempt would consume 7 potential points.
But now that it was confirmed, there was no other way. Besides the butterfly, he could only bring one more totem like this. This was the limit of his talent. His extremely mediocre talent determined that he could only control two totems.
Leaving the guild, Garon recalled the white tiger and came to a remote alley.
Garon made up his mind. His finger quickly drew a complicated oval symbol in the air.
The symbol instantly shrank from the size of a fist to the size of a fingernail. Then it quickly disappeared into the black crystal ring.
Soon, he felt a sensation that was completely different from ordinary totems. It was as if the black striped white tiger was more intimate with him than the other totems. That vague sense of distance had shortened by a lot.
He looked at the black striped white tiger's icon at the bottom of his vision.
Sure enough, he saw a sudden change. It suddenly jumped to the front of all the totems and was ranked first. There was an additional note beside it: Core.
A layer of white light film that stuck close to his skin flashed across his entire body.
"The core totem is finally in my hands!"
Garon let out a long sigh of relief.
"Next, I should meet up with Goth and the others. Then I'll see how to use the few tactics that I got from Angel. I'll prepare to deal with that Griffith. "
If he guessed correctly, in these few days, Iron Tank City would face its first monster attack. Then it would be his chance to make his move.
His eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. Daring to steal his things, they must be tired of living!
