The five men's sense of smell was surprisingly sharp. They seemed to have noticed that Tang En was investigating them. When Elsa and the guards ran to arrest them, they found that the five men had disappeared.
"Their reaction is quite fast, but where can they run to here?"
Tang En curled his lips. The magic feedback in the air told him that the five men had fled into the forest of the Ambris Mountains.
Now, running to the depths of the undeveloped forest was courting death.
At this moment, it was the end of the Month of Harvest, and the Month of Celebration was about to enter. The magical beasts in the forest began to become active. The Month of Celebration and the Month of Withering were the most active periods of the year. Because it would be difficult to get food for the next three months, they needed to prepare food for the next three months. Everything that could be eaten and preserved was their goal.
Now, running to the depths of the undeveloped forest was courting death.
But Tang En did not want to let them die. He still wanted to dig out some information from these people. The assassins from Alinx were very interesting, weren't they?
So, a few minutes later, in the cabin, Tang En looked at the five frightened men in front of him with a smile. "Welcome to Ellington. As you know, I'm the Lord of this place, Tang En."
"So, can we talk about your origin?"
Tang En spread his hands. "Relax, guys. I'm a very easy-going person. As long as you're willing to cooperate, I promise to let you live. After all, you haven't had time to do anything to me. We're not enemies, are we?"
Tang En felt that many experts in his previous life were idiots because they completely ignored the intelligence of the people and used their idiotic theories to rape the people's minds. After the fact, they were complacent and thought that they were the truth.
At this moment, when Tang En saw the look in the eyes of the five men, he found that they thought he was an idiot.
"It seems that suddenly using Hand of Magic to pull you out of the forest didn't make you feel the difference in strength between us … and the fear of your lives being dominated."
Tang En stopped smiling. "In that case, let's play an 'interesting' game."
He raised his hand and tapped his fingers one by one, "Choosing soldiers, choosing generals, riding horses into battle …"
Although they didn't know what Tang En was mumbling about, the five of them were sensitive enough to realize that the guy chosen by Tang En would definitely be the first unlucky one — and it would be very miserable.
Therefore, whoever Tang En's finger swept across would involuntarily tremble a few times.
"… If you have money, drink. If you don't, leave. Whoever I count to the end is unlucky. That person is a little unlucky. Ha! It's you! "
The fourth unlucky guy who was pointed at by Tang En immediately turned pale. "No! It's not fair! "
The others heaved a sigh of relief and rejoiced.
With this unlucky guy as the vanguard, it would be easy to choose the next one.
If this guy didn't have any tricks up his sleeve, they would just wait for an opportunity to kill him.
If this guy killed without batting an eyelid and was very cruel …
Of course, they would decisively surrender.
What?
Loyalty?
Could that be eaten?
Compared to their own lives, of course their own lives were more precious!
Talking about loyalty with an assassin who grew up in a stinking ditch?
Are you kidding me?
Tang En stepped forward with a grim smile. "It's random. Of course it's fair —"
"No! It's not fair at all! No matter how many times you draw, as long as you start from the left, I'll definitely be the one chosen in the end! "
That unlucky fellow was not willing to become a test subject just like that. "I just noticed that you read 29 words just now! Every time you read a word, you'll change a person. There are only five of us! "
Tang En froze for a moment.
"29 divided by five, you'll get the remaining four! That means no matter how many times you try, you'll definitely pick me! It's not fair at all! "
Tang En suddenly realized that this was a simple mathematical problem. Then he was dumbfounded.
What the f * ck!
What the f * ck!?
So this thing can be calculated so easily!?
No wonder when they were making games, they always picked me. I didn't think it was strange at that time and only thought that I was unlucky. They actually teamed up to trick me!
I was too naive and stupid back then. Who would have thought that children needed to use their brains to make games!
Such a simple game didn't even need to think so much!
Looking at the miserable unlucky guy, Tang En suddenly felt a sense of sympathy. Bro, you're so smart, why do you have to be in this line of work?
Tang En laughed heartily and gave him a thumbs up. "Whatever. Since they picked you, you can show them what a painful death is like. Remember to reincarnate as a mathematician in your next life."
No way!
"I surrender!"
The guy decisively knelt down. "What do you want to know? As long as I know, I'll tell you everything."
"How straightforward! I admire you very much! "
Tang En looked at the other four people. "Then they're useless?"
"No!"
The other four people were stunned for a moment and immediately rushed to kneel down and swear allegiance to Tang En. "Tang En — No! My Lord! I can tell you anything you want to know! I'll offer my loyalty to you! "
"Loyalty?"
Tang En's face was full of disdain. "I never believe in loyalty. Loyalty is because there's not enough bargaining chips for betrayal."
"You're right — so go to hell!"
The four assassins who were kowtowing but quietly approaching Tang En suddenly attacked. They secretly pulled out the Demon Piercing Arrows from the edge of their armor and fiercely stabbed at Tang En!
The assassin who surrendered earlier was tempted for a moment, but for some reason, just as he was about to attack, a cold gaze froze him in place.
The Demon Piercing Arrows were very effective. The effect of destroying the magic structure allowed them to easily penetrate Tang En's Storm Armor and go straight for his heart!
This made Tang En click his tongue in wonder.
In the game, the Demon Piercing Arrows only weakened the magic defense to a certain extent, but in the real world, this effect completely destroyed all magic effects — it was just like the bug-level ability of picking up girls.
Fortunately, due to the limitations of the materials used for the Demon Piercing Arrows, the Demon Piercing Arrows only had a one-time effect, and the effective time was very short.
Therefore, after breaking through the first layer of the Storm Armor, the Demon Piercing Arrows did not have time to advance before they were sent flying by the Magic Armor Bullets that followed.
"Purgatory … attack." “
The murmurs of a demon seemed to ring in their ears. The assassins only heard a short incantation before the blazing golden flames engulfed them.
The unlucky one who surrendered first swallowed his saliva. Looking at his teammates who were not even ashes left, he was suddenly very grateful for his decisiveness.
"What a pity."
Tang En's face was full of regret. "Originally, I was short on manpower and wanted to spare their lives and let them work for me."
The unlucky one revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Why didn't you say that earlier?
If you wanted to keep them, why did you say "they are useless", which could easily be misunderstood!
You were clearly forcing them to fight with their lives!
Are you a devil?
You are clearly a devil!?
You didn't intend to let them live at all!?
You just said it so that I would be grateful for your kindness, right?!
The unlucky one had a flash of inspiration and bowed his head. "You are really a benevolent lord!"
"Oh? I thought you would say that I am a devil. "
Looking at Tang En's meaningful smile, the unlucky one's heart tightened. How did he know what I was thinking!?
"Alright, I am too lazy to care so much. Now, tell me, who ordered you to come, who is your target? Me? Or Elijah? How many people do you have left? Spit out everything you know. "
Seeing that Twain had effortlessly killed all of his teammates, the unlucky guy no longer dared to play any tricks. He immediately told Twain everything he knew.
"I was once the leader of the Alinx Stonemason Guild, but because of an accident …"
The unlucky one began to explain his identity to Tang En in detail, as well as everything he knew about the Cardier family.
"Ha! Are you worthy of being called a death warrior with your looks? "
Tang En almost cried at Charles's stupidity.
What was a death warrior? It was a type of puppet that had been completely brainwashed! A lunatic who would not hesitate to commit suicide when ordered to do so!
How could an assassin who would betray him be shameless enough to be called a death warrior?
The unlucky one also knew how awkward his current situation was, so he could only laugh dryly.
"You guys want to kill me? How much did Charles underestimate me … Oh, alright, it's normal to be underestimated."
Tang En laughed after he finished speaking. Did it not prove that his previous action strategy was very effective if he was underestimated? If not, it would not be these few people who came here today, but an army that targeted mages, right?
"Actually …"
The unlucky one hesitated. "Our captain, Poison Sickle, is not here. He is a guy who will do anything for the sake of a mission. If he was here …"
The subtext was very clear. You are no match for our captain, Poison Sickle.
"Poison Sickle? Is it this guy? "
Tang En snapped his fingers, and Poison Sickle's body that had been pieced together suddenly appeared, startling the unlucky one. "Captain! He, he's dead?! "
"Well … If you are the unlucky one, then he must be possessed by the god of misfortune."
Tang En was quite sympathetic to this Poison Sickle whom he had never met before. In order to kill him, he had come all the way to Ellington. In the end, he was unintentionally killed by Elijah, who was practicing magic, without even meeting him. He could have met anyone, but he had to meet Elijah …
"You are indeed very powerful. I surrender to you wholeheartedly."
The unlucky one had completely given up on this idea and obediently gave up.
"I mean what I say. I am short of people here. Sign a contract and become a monkey wine … Bah! Sign a contract and become my employee. "
Tang En sized up this guy. His physical fitness was quite good. It would be a pity to let him go, and even more a pity to kill him. It was better to keep him as a laborer.
"… Okay!"
Did he have a choice?
"Oh, after talking for so long, what's your name again?"
"Van Cleef, sir." "Yes."
"… Do you have a daughter?"
"No, why?"
"… If you have a daughter in the future, you can call her Vanessa."
"Yes, I can … But why?"
"There is no why. All of this is decided by the will of the universe …"
