Could it be that this is-if you can't kill the enemy, then let the enemy become one of your own?
Ren held this priceless crescent moon pendant, said to be from the elves, with a slight hesitation in his heart.
The silver-white pendant is like a beautiful jade, with a luster like moonlight flowing on it. It is unknown what kind of material it is made of, and it is engraved with exquisite patterns of flowers, plants, branches and leaves.
Just holding the crystal clear pendant in his hand, Ren could feel a slightly cool breath seeping into his body.
This feeling is like the feeling of refreshing after taking a bath after a tiring day, with the pores all over the body relaxing.
It’s hard to say whether this pendant was made by the elves.
But it has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, which should not be false. Those rough guys may not care much, but many women must like it very much.
However, Ren still felt that the price of 12,000 gold coins was exaggerated.
If it hadn't been at the annual auction, if there hadn't been a few tycoons who just smiled for Pomeranian, this crescent moon pendant would have cost only seven or eight thousand gold coins!
But it is undeniable that this is still a lot of money, especially for Renne who is almost eating up the dirt now...
"You two, you just threw such a precious pendant to me?"
Ren hesitated for a moment, looked at the killer Kelvin and the illusionist Roland, and asked curiously.
The sealing fee of 12,000 gold coins is not a big deal.
"Young people, for people like us, apart from breaking through to the holy realm, there is nothing that can make our hearts beat. It's just a pendant with useless functions, and it's not a famous gun or holy weapon."
The one-armed killer Kelvin's voice was as smooth as ever, with a hint of vicissitudes.
As long as you can break through to the Holy Realm, you don't have to worry about not having gold coins. If you can't break through, no matter how many gold coins you have, it's useless!
The embryonic form of his and Roland's fields has been completed, and they have accumulated enough. There is only one opportunity left to break through.
But this opportunity may come in the next second, or it may not wait for a hundred years, but this last step cannot be taken by relying on external forces.
Carlos the Gunman is a special case.
Because of the impact of the second impact, his own "partial power" surged, allowing him to seize the opportunity to break through the sanctuary.
"Really?" Renn had a little difficulty understanding this idea.
"You are still young, so you may not understand. But we are both 140 or 50 years old, and we were considered influential figures in those days. We have enjoyed money, beauty, power... we have all enjoyed it.
For us, it doesn’t make much difference whether we have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins.”
Illusionist Roland smiled slightly, his temperament was quite free and easy.
If they did not become saints, they would only have fifty or sixty years to live.
I had already earned enough money before, but at the last step, I only needed an opportunity and no extra resources to practice... Naturally, I looked down upon gold coins, treasures, resources, etc.
"Maybe, but I haven't tasted enough of the splendor of this world." Renn shook his head and put away the pendant.
He does not yet have such a detached and indifferent state of mind.
In his heart, he not only longs for power, but also loves money. Although he is not keen on power, he also enjoys the taste of beauty.
"Haha, young people are very honest. Unlike many people who say no, they are very honest with their bodies."
Illusionist Roland looked at Ren for a few times and laughed.
He stretched out his hand to greet Kelvin beside him, and the two of them prepared to leave.
"Hey, what should I do with this guy?" Ren's mouth twitched and he pointed at a wealthy man in the alley.
The Marquis was lying on the ground like a dead dog with a bruised nose and swollen face. He was unconscious and foaming at the mouth.
This may be the price of forcing yourself to show off.
"Hey, who is this person? Isn't it cool lying on the ground?" Looking at the alley, the illusionist Roland looked surprised.
"I don't know, he might be an alcoholic. Don't worry about it, he won't die anyway." Killer Kelvin looked very calm.
After the two exchanged words as if nothing had happened, they simply straightened their clothes and turned around to leave.
What did they do?
Sorry, they didn't do anything, they were just passing by!
"Damn, is it so late already? There's no one in the streets and alleys!"
Ren also "suddenly realized" that he knew nothing and saw nothing... He took the suitcase and entered the alley.
When passing by the unconscious Lord Marquis, he suddenly felt that the blue diamond necklace around his neck was a bit dazzling.
'How can this be done? The wealth should not be exposed! It would be bad if someone takes advantage of his unconsciousness to seek wealth and kill him. Although it is just a chance encounter, I am a kind-hearted person, so I can help him.'
With this in mind, Ren took off the blue diamond necklace from the neck of the Marquis.
Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that the holy silver ring on the Marquis' finger was a little bright, so he kindly took it off for him.
Just as he was about to leave, Ren felt that his brooch was too gorgeous and eye-catching, which could easily lead to trouble.
With the idea of taking people's money to eliminate disasters for them, he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Just as he was about to leave, Ren felt that the clothes he was wearing were pretty good...
So, three minutes later, there was only a fat, white man lying on the ground in the alley.
Except for a pair of slightly slutty floral underpants, there was nothing left on the Marquis.
"These days, the world is so cold and people are indifferent. People don't even support the elderly anymore... There are not many people like me who are willing to lend a helping hand to strangers and are eager to help others."
After putting away a few things, Ren sighed.
Thinking about how much these things could be sold for on the black market, he left calmly, and soon the alley was deserted.
Lord Marquis:…………
"Ah!! Who is it! Dare to plot against me!!"
About half an hour later, a heart-rending howl came from the alley.
………
the next day.
As the sun rose and dawn broke, early in the morning, the news that the Marquis Brooks of the Principality of Rowan was looted by gangsters last night quickly spread throughout the entire city of Merova.
"Hey, is it true? Marquis Brooks was robbed?"
"It's absolutely true. Not only was the man beaten into a pig's head, but all his clothes and belongings were lost, leaving only a pair of flowery underwear!"
"Damn, it's so exciting! Who did it? So bold."
"God knows, but the attacker was very strong. Marquis Brooks didn't even see who attacked him and was knocked unconscious..."
In the streets and alleys, citizens were talking a lot.
At first, everyone thought it was fake news. After all, this is a big city, and the Marquis is not a weakling. The sound of a fight may alarm the experts in the city.
It wasn't until someone said that they saw the Marquis with only his trousers on last night, and the Marquis himself had been furious today... that everyone had to believe it.
It is said that Marquis Brooks was so angry that he jumped up and down. Unfortunately, he had no idea who did it and had no evidence.
He asked the people in the 7th Bureau to solve the case as soon as possible, and even became angry, and issued a commission to the Demon Hunter Association:
There is no need to catch the murderer, anyone who can provide clues about the attacker will receive a reward of 5,000 gold coins!
However, his efforts were destined to be in vain.
Illusionist Roland: Act as ordered, don’t ask, it’s all the orders of that lord.
Killer Kelvin: A certain unnamed director asked us to do it, otherwise how could I do such a shameless thing.
"5,000 gold coins, tsk tsk, makes me want to expose myself."
In the villa, Renne, who has become the vice-president of the Witcher Association branch of the Kingdom of Falorland, sighed while eating breakfast.
When he went to have a tryst with Keisha last night, he wanted to give the crescent moon pendant to Valkyrie.
Keisha refused.
It's not that she doesn't mind seeing things in public, anyway, the crescent moon pendant is also a personal jewelry that can be hung on the chest under clothes, but she already has one of these items - it was given to her by her cousin Catherine.
But she accepted his thoughts, even though Lane's behavior of stripping Marquis Brooks naked made her a little bit dumbfounded.
Sure enough, after that, Kesha was obviously more enthusiastic and proactive between the beds, which made Ren enjoy it immensely.
As for the risk of offending the Marquis, both of them ignored it.
Not to mention that there is almost no possibility of being exposed, even if he is exposed, Renn has nothing to be afraid of - there is no saint in the family of the Marquis!
Besides, he was not the one who actually took action.
"After making this vote, I have money to spend temporarily."
While eating breakfast, Ren was thinking about what to do with the stolen goods.
The crescent moon pendant is still useful and he doesn't plan to sell it for the time being.
In addition to the crescent moon pendant, holy silver ring, blue diamond necklace, brooch, and several high-end clothing items, if these items are sold, they can be exchanged for three to four thousand gold coins.
Apart from anything else, at least I have enough expenses for the past few months.
He can eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and the stupid king doesn't have to go hungry.
As for how to get rid of these things, there are many bold people in the underground black market who dare to take anything.
The "Nightmare Mask" refined by the witch comes in handy.
"It's time to practice, strength is the most important." With the financial gap temporarily gone, Renn is ready to practice hard during this time.
Then you can start taking action after the idiot king "graduates".
He came to the courtyard of the villa, sat on the grass, and took out some items he purchased at the auction.
Two swordsmanship secrets left by a strong man at the temple level, the swordsmanship secrets of "Star Sword Master" Ogros and the inherited black stone.
The Sword Master's things were saved for last, and Ren first picked out a sword skill secret book and opened it.
"good."
Half an hour later, a look of recognition appeared on Renn's face.
The sword skills recorded in this secret book are very concise. There is not much writing, but there are a lot of illustrations, and each picture is lifelike.
Using a few strokes to outline the human body with a knife, even a person with little knowledge will not be mistaken.
Ren looked at it very carefully and turned over the pages.
"All moves and techniques must actually abandon useless tricks and pursue the fastest and most severe killing."
"And the so-called moves are actually ways to bring out the lethality of a knife... Knife skills are easy to learn but difficult to master. There is no distinction between moves, it depends on proficiency..."
"The so-called moves are all for actual combat. Sword skills that cannot kill are just a showpiece. My sword skills focus on basics and practical skills, and do not pursue any artistic conception..."
This set of "Hundred Battles Sword Skills" does not have a strict system.
The above is a collection of a large number of fragmentary sword moves, there are no fancy killing moves, they are basically common techniques.
However, the author's in-depth and simple analysis and understanding of the knife are indeed unique.
"Not bad, this person can be considered a master of swordsmanship." Ren nodded and commented, feeling something in his heart.
The moves recorded above are basically useless to him and can only be used as supplements. However, some of the author's insights are quite good and somewhat interesting.
To be honest, this "fairly satisfactory" swordsmanship secret book is of little use to him, but is more suitable for some masters or beginners.
It's not that Ren is arrogant, the person who left this secret book is not as good as him in swordsmanship.
In the system's evaluation, he is a master of swordsmanship (advanced), and this person is at best an intermediate level.
After moving his neck, Ren took out the second sword skill manual.
"Huh?"
Before long, Ren showed a look of surprise.
Compared with the previous secret book, this sword skill secret book is much more interesting.
This author's strength is obviously more powerful, and his sword skills are also very amazing. Moreover, this is the legacy of a fourth-level peak [Demon Hunter Master]!
The system is complete, the theory is rigorous, and it is its own school!
Moreover, this is a swordsmanship system specifically for demons, with specific swordsmanship moves for various common demons!
According to Ren's opinion, the moves can generally be named "werewolf killing", "vampire killing", "demon killing", "night devil killing", "universal defensive style", "rushing style" and so on.
"It's amazing, amazing. The demon hunter who wrote this book must be pretty good, and...who knows if he will continue to improve in the future?"
Ren was amazed, this man is definitely a genius.
He continued to flip through the pages with great interest, and finally came to the last page of the book, with only one powerful name on it:
"Blooded Blade"─Edward Bordon.
"This man doesn't seem to be dead yet." Ren's expression changed.
If I remember correctly, this is a fifth-level [titled demon hunter]. About 150 years ago, he competed with "Magic Spear" Carragher for the position of vice president of the Demon Hunter Association.
"He is a cruel person!"
Renn sincerely admired that as far as he knew, the strength of "Blood Blade" was no worse than that of the vice-president "Magic Spear".
It's just that his popularity is not very good. When the top leaders of the Demon Hunter Association voted in the final, the number of votes was too different and he was eliminated.
This man also had a bad temper and quit the Witcher Association in anger.
After that, "Blood Blade" Bordon's whereabouts disappeared, but it is certain that he is not dead. Four years ago, he killed a dark archduke on the border of the Nokman Empire!
"This swordsmanship secret book should only be left behind when he was young."
Ren made a judgment, and he could see that the sword skills above had not been pushed to the extreme.
But even so, this unique sword technique against demons was an eye-opener for him, especially the various sharp moves developed to target the demons' weaknesses, which benefited him a lot.
'666, it turns out that swordsmanship can still be done like this!'
Ren's expression was in a state of intoxication, as he read this swordsmanship secret book with fascination, absorbing the experience and inspiration from it.
The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.
After a hasty lunch, he finally picked up the Starry Sky Sword Master's swordsmanship secret book and the Black Stone of Inheritance.
The first ones are all appetizers, this is what suits him best.
