Garon glanced at the woman beside him. The two of them were probably husband and wife. The woman stared nervously at the black claw on Baldy's neck, not daring to move at all.
The two of them were just well-trained elite mercenaries. Although they were good at using firearms and had quick reflexes, they were nothing compared to a real Grandmaster of Combat.
Not to mention the non-human beings in this small town.
They were just two normal people. Just like what Baldy said, they were just mercenaries at the outermost perimeter.
However, Garon's goal was obviously not that simple.
He carefully searched Baldy's shirt pocket and quickly pulled out a black wooden cross pendant from his chest.
The moment he got hold of the cross, a cool aura slowly flowed into Garon's arm. His eyes lit up slightly.
"Where did you get this thing?"
Baldy's face showed a pained expression.
"This is a memento given to me by a friend of mine. A very good friend. He told me to carry it with me and not leave it behind. "
"It really is a good memento …" Garon showed a satisfied expression.
This cross really did contain the aura of potential. It was not the kind that could only be used once, but it was the kind that would last for a long time.
Moreover, the surface of the cross seemed to be covered with a layer of invisible energy that could explode at any time.
Garon guessed that this might be a protective treasure that was specially made to deal with supernatural powers. Once he encountered an enemy with supernatural powers, this thing could explode and protect Baldy at the first moment.
Baldy's friend was obviously worried that he would be in trouble, so he gave him this pendant.
"Seems like your friend is not bad …" Garon pulled off the pendant. His original intention to kill the two instantly faded. He began to think of a way to control these two for his own use.
After all, he had too few sources of information now. If he had two mercenaries with different identities as his feelers, he would be able to understand and infiltrate the truth of this world faster.
There were many ways to control the enemy, but among the unknown methods in this world, it was very difficult to find a method that could guarantee that it would not be deciphered by others …
In this world, there were vampires, witches, and even other supernatural forces. It seemed simple, but in fact, there was a lot more to it than meets the eye.
After searching through all the top secret techniques in his memory, Garon finally chose a secret technique that was more secretive.
Pure punishment was only the lowest level of control. The most important thing was to make the other party unwilling to betray him.
Garon smiled meaningfully at the bald man and let go of his neck.
"Thank you very much for your honesty. As you can see, the water in this town is not something you can step into. From the conversation just now, I really appreciate the sincerity between the two of you. "
He paused for a moment. "Since you are mercenaries, I have a mission here. I wonder if you are willing to accept it."
"You won't kill us?" Although the bald man asked this, his expression was obviously relaxed.
"I'm not someone who likes to kill. Why should I kill you?" Garon spread out his hands. "My mission here, if you help me complete it, I can consider accepting the two of you as my disciples. You can teach me the powerful combat technique just now."
The bald man's eyes instantly lit up. Not only him, but the black-haired woman beside him also unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
Only those in the mercenary world who lived on the edge of life and death knew how terrifying a powerful combat technique could be in a mission and in a fight. And with the terrifying skills of the boy in front of them just now, to the extent that he could completely ignore guns, this kind of combat technique was simply the most powerful killing technique. To have this kind of opportunity to learn this kind of technique was undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for the couple.
"Is what you said true!? You are really willing to accept us as your disciples and teach us powerful combat techniques!? "The bald man's voice was trembling. Although the person standing in front of him was just an ordinary teenage boy, he completely did not have the intention to look down on the other party's age.
The woman beside him was also excited. She opened her mouth to speak, but still did not make a sound. She still looked at the bald man and let him take the lead.
"Of course it's true." Garon smiled. The killing techniques he had mastered were not just dozens, but hundreds of them. Not to mention, as a master of the human body structure and a pinnacle Grandmaster of Combat, his understanding of the human body's combat techniques allowed him to create a simple killing technique at any time.
And what was considered a simple technique to him was no doubt a top-notch treasure to others.
"Then, what is your mission?" The bald man asked carefully. With such a generous reward, naturally the mission to complete would be more troublesome.
"It's actually very simple." Garon raised the cross in his hand. "I am very interested in antiques, especially this kind. I need you to investigate the origin of this thing and see if there are other similar things. If you can find it, that would be even better."
He tossed the cross in front of the two people's puzzled gazes.
"According to a simple appraisal, this thing should have at least eighty years of history. You can consider it from this point of view."
"If you want to find this cross, maybe I have a way!" The bald man's eyes lit up.
"Are you sure?" Garon's heart was filled with joy.
"I'm sure, a hundred percent sure!" The bald man answered with certainty. "I've seen information about this in the corporation before. There aren't many of these crosses, and they're not very expensive. They're all put up for auction by some wearers."
Garon patted his shoulder vigorously.
"As a reward for the mission, I'll teach you something in advance. You'll feel whether this mission is worth it or not."
The bald man and the other person's eyes became more and more fervent.
.....
Two hours later …
Garon slowly left the wild forest and returned to the road. He still had his hands in his pockets as he walked slowly towards home.
The cross was in his trouser pocket, held tightly in his right hand.
Traces of cold air kept entering his palm, flowing along his forearm, to his shoulder, and then to his brain.
He looked at the changes in his Attributes Pane, and then felt the total amount of air in the cross. Garon estimated that this cross could provide him with at least three attribute points, which was three hundred percent of his potential value. This was the lowest estimate.
He had not received any Potential Value for a long time, and now that he had a sudden income, Garen was in a good mood.
He suddenly had a good impression of the Arisa sisters. When the two sisters came, he caught the person who gave him potential points. Maybe that person from the White Phoenix Primary Colors would come a few more times, and his potential points would increase.
He thought back to when the bald man and his wife were learning the secret skill.
The corner of Garon's mouth curled up slightly. These were the two tentacles he released. From today onwards, he was no longer as ignorant of the dark world as before.
What the bald man and his wife learned was not a complete secret skill. Without the support of a secret skill, it naturally could not be a powerful secret skill.
It was a secret skill that Garon had created. As the name implied, it was something between a secret skill and a skill. The threshold was very low. Anyone could learn it, but it would cause a certain degree of damage to the human body. It was a killing technique that increased one's strength at the cost of self-harm.
Although it could only increase one's strength for a short period of time, but to the bald man and his wife, this was undoubtedly an extremely precious path.
The secret skill that Garon created was named Shooting Shadow. It was a shooting type secret skill that was specially developed for the two of them. After stimulating certain acupuncture points and meridians, it could double one's vision, hearing, and reflexes for half an hour. To the couple, this was equivalent to a trump card that could turn the tables in a short period of time!
And this was only the first level of Shooting Shadow. There was still the second level, the third level, and even the sixth level!
The cost of every level of the secret skill was the same, or even decreased. The increase in power would become stronger and greater.
The final sixth level could even increase one's vision, hearing, and reflexes by a full six times!
This made the couple extremely fascinated. With Garon's help, they quickly mastered the first level of the simplest secret skill. After experiencing that powerful and perfect state, the two of them were completely loyal to Garon.
Although the side effects of this secret skill were very big, every time it was used, it would cause unavoidable internal damage to one's body. The cost of this damage was very subtle. After every use of the secret skill, one would need to rest for at least three months. Otherwise, using it twice in a short period of time would cause a certain degree of permanent damage. For example, losing one's sight or hearing forever …
This was the biggest difference between secret skills and secret skills. Secret skills could only be used at the cost of self-harm, and it couldn't be used consecutively in a short period of time.
Secret skills, on the other hand, had almost no side effects and could be used consecutively very quickly. Just like Palosa's ninety-nine orifices secret skill, it gave him a terrifying reputation of being invincible.
The reason why the Shooting Shadow secret skill was so powerful was because when Garon guided the two of them to learn it, he actually used a bit of his own aura. Using his aura as a primer, he stimulated the two of them to mutate to a certain degree. That was how they were able to learn the powerful Shooting Shadow secret skill.
What the two of them didn't know was that if they wanted to continue learning and strengthening this secret skill, they would have to find Garon every time they leveled up, and once again guide them to mutate.
In other words, their path to becoming stronger in the future was actually in Garon's hands.
And the secret skill also had a very big effect.
It could only be improved, it couldn't be crippled!
Once they learned the secret skill, it was like walking into a dead end, they could only continue to practice. If they couldn't reach the peak level, once their training stagnated for a period of time, the practitioner would constantly experience intense pain, and their body would rapidly weaken until they died.
For this weakness, Garon was prepared to modify and perfect it.
After all, the secret skill was just a technique he created in a hurry, and it needed time to be corrected.
After returning home and sorting out the related memories, it was almost dinner time when his parents came back. The Arisa sisters who were out for a stroll also came to the house under Jason and Vivien's warm invitation to have dinner together.
Garon sent a message to Raffaele.
The reply was that everything was fine, it was obvious that the other party's scheme didn't succeed.
Now that the two tentacles were released, all he had to do was wait for them to be retrieved, and he also received the first batch of potential points in this world. Garon was in a good mood, and the way he looked at the Arisa sisters became more and more pleasing to the eye.
If everything went well, he might be able to find other crosses that could be used to increase his body's attributes. Everything would be on the right track, with a rapid increase in strength, he would also have the opportunity to slowly investigate the secrets of the vampires.
Anyway, it was still early, he was only a middle school student who had just entered high school, he was still young.
