Paul left the magic shop and quickly returned to the hotel where he was staying, but even so, he still felt that his own home was being targeted.
Although Paul has not reached the golden elixir stage at this time, so he cannot activate his spiritual consciousness, but with his perception that is far beyond that of ordinary people, he can still clearly feel that he has been followed by himself, and the other party should be four people.
, I don’t know which force they belong to, but they cooperate very well.
But since Paul didn't feel any killing intent in them, he just let them follow.
As mentioned earlier, Paul himself is a relatively upright person, which means that Paul is an honest man. In addition, the Shushan sect’s own cultivation method is mainly based on cultivation techniques, supplemented by accumulation of virtue and good deeds. Although it does not eliminate killing, it will not kill indiscriminately.
innocent.
So although Paul felt that the four people following him were a little troubled, they didn't show any malice. You can't kill all four of them just because they followed. According to Paul's idea, find an opportunity to warn them.
They get it in one go.
But when Paul entered the hotel, he discovered that these four people did not follow him, but were walking around the hotel, vaguely intending to protect him.
Paul was confused at this time. He had just entered the city and had not provoked anyone! Who sent these troops? After repeated consideration, Paul estimated that these should be the troops from the magic weapon shop, because they appeared
The time and place are too coincidental.
"Could it be that the owner of that magic shop is afraid that people will seek money and kill people? It seems that I wrongly blamed him!" Paul thought with emotion, and at the same time, because of the apology he had for misunderstanding the fat boss, Paul's kindness to him
Sensitivity increased significantly.
After dinner, Paul handed over the two purple gold coins and most of the gold coins he got from selling the magic core today to Catherine, leaving only a dozen gold coins with him for emergencies.
Catherine was so excited when she saw the money that she almost fainted. Although she had started to practice cultivation now, she came from a poor family after all. Even when she was in the Earl's Mansion, she only saw gold coins. He didn't even dare to think about it.
, she never thought that she would be able to touch this kind of currency, let alone own it. The word mother is worth the child is perfect for Catherine now.
Paul spent a lot of time talking to calm down Catherine's excitement. Seeing his mother's happy and beautiful smile, Paul secretly vowed to keep this smile on his mother's face forever.
After chatting with their mother about what they saw and heard in Maner City today, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest. Oh, no, they were practicing.
Since cultivators basically don’t need to sleep, because the process of cultivating itself has the effect of resting the mind. Basically, after a night of cultivation, you will be 100 times more energetic when you wake up in the morning, which is much more effective than sleeping. In addition, since Paul told his mother
After the cultivation had a lasting effect, Catherine practiced more diligently than Paul, which made Paul smile bitterly, but that was fine, after all, the better his mother's skills, the more free he would be when traveling on the mainland.
After Paul left the Magic Crystal Store, Fat Little Mark arranged for his protection and then went to do other things.
But a big tree attracts wind. Although the Cassel family chooses to be patient and knows not to provoke others, it cannot stop other families in the Principality of Nice from treating them as political enemies. For a figure like little Mark, who can be regarded as a direct descendant of the Cassel family
, naturally some people will pay special attention to it.
As soon as Little Mark left, the news came out that Paul sold a large number of magic cores at Little Mark's magic weapon shop today.
While the rival families of the Cassel family were studying Paul's origins, some scoundrels also set their sights on Paul.
After all, two purple gold coins can be considered a huge sum of money for these people who want to add blood to their swords. After all, whether it is the Macas Mountains or the Warcraft Forest, if you want to hunt Warcraft, you have to risk your life.
And once they gain something, they have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise they don't know whether they will be able to enjoy the harvest this time. Faced with this kind of life with their heads tied to their waistbands, they are naturally under a lot of pressure.
In this way, pubs and brothels have become the best places for them to vent their stress, but neither of these two places is a place to spend a lot of money. Therefore, most people who live this kind of life cannot save even two dollars in their hands.
.
And those capable guys naturally look down on these two purple gold coins. Only some high-level thieves are more interested in these two purple gold coins. After all, the most common task for thieves is to assassinate, and ordinary characters can even succeed in assassination.
The gold coins are also very few, and those missions with high rewards are either assassination of masters or nobles. The reward is high, but the corresponding risk factor has also increased.
Needless to say, masters are very powerful. If they miss a hit, they may die. Not to mention nobles. Which nobles don’t have groups of guards? There are many masters. What’s more, most nobles will hire several people.
A high-level thief acts as his own bodyguard, and the saying that fellow thieves are enemies also applies here. If you want to succeed under the protection of a fellow thief, there is even less hope.
And this young man is only fifteen or sixteen years old. According to their opinion, even if he is a genius, he has only a fifth-level profession. What's more, according to legend, this young man has no fighting spirit or magic fluctuations in his body, which is equivalent to a useless person. As for the people who are following him.
The same goes for that woman, even if she is more beautiful, she will only be blasphemed by these people.
Most Xiaoxiao thought so. After all, the information could not be wrong. The Thieves Guild's information was notoriously accurate, but no one noticed that the evaluation of these two people in the information did not involve their combat prowess.
The specific situation was just mentioned using a very vague word "unknown strength", and everyone either deliberately or unintentionally ignored the true meaning of the phrase "unknown strength".
The night was already deep. Paul did not practice tonight. Instead, he lay on the bed. The true energy was flowing in his body on its own, always maintaining the best condition. He maximized the sharpness of his senses and closed his eyes.
Pretend to be asleep.
He could feel Catherine's long breathing in the next room. It seemed that she had entered into deep cultivation. Paul was feeling all the movements in the hotel at the moment. After finding nothing unusual, he began to pay attention to the surroundings of the hotel.
"Quite dedicated." After feeling the four breathing sounds that were deliberately suppressed and seemed to be insignificant, Paul showed a smile on his lips.
Although the lurking level of these four people was pretty good, Paul's sensitive senses still detected their presence through their slight breathing.
If these four people knew that Paul had determined their location just by the sound of his breathing, they would definitely scold Paul for his abnormal hearing.
Because these four people are all thieves secretly trained by Kassel's own family, or they can be said to be dead soldiers. Although their levels are not very high, they have all reached the sixth level. If they are lurking, they will not move.
, they were confident that even a ninth-level expert walking ten meters away might not be able to detect their presence. Who would have thought that Paul could be discovered from such a long distance just by relying on the sound of their breathing that they deliberately suppressed.
As the night deepened, Paul still relied on his sharp senses to watch the situation around the hotel. Although the four people were not hostile, they still had to be on guard against others.
Suddenly Paul frowned. He discovered that two energy fluctuations entered the warning net of the four people. After only a moment, they were killed by the lurking people.
The reason why Paul frowned was not because someone had lurked in, but because those four people were too cruel, killing them all with one hit. Paul was honest in nature. Although he practiced Jingtianlu of the Shushan sect, which was more murderous, he was still a member of the Xuan Dynasty after all.
The Menzhengzong method is a method that pays great attention to the accumulation of merit.
So at first glance, Paul still showed a look of disgust at the four people's killing style, but after all, these four people had obvious protective intentions, so Paul was embarrassed to say anything.
When the four men showed up and killed the two intruders, as if a hornet's nest had been stabbed, dozens more figures emerged from the darkness one after another and fought with the four men.
But the two groups of people seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. They fought with each other in a fast and fast manner. Although there was some fighting spirit leaking out, it was extremely subtle.
The two sides had been fighting for more than ten minutes at this time. Among the dozen intruders, two had been severely injured and retreated. One of the four defenders was slightly injured. But the strange thing is that no matter where they were, none of them were injured.
They didn't make much noise at all, and even the two guys who were seriously injured and exited just snorted and stopped making any movement. This strange situation made Paul feel extremely puzzled.
The reason why Paul felt puzzled was mainly because he had just entered the mainland and did not know the rules of this world. In private, the tasks and fights between mercenaries and thieves were ignored by the government on this continent, but once
If the commotion is too big, the government will still intervene, but once the government intervenes, the matter will be stopped.
Moreover, no one is allowed to cause trouble in the city, at least not openly. Once caught making trouble, they will be fined a huge sum of money, or they will have to go into a dark room to count steamed buns.
Moreover, if innocent parties are involved in the confrontation, the government will intervene and arrest and imprison both parties. Any resistance will be regarded as a provocation to this rule and will be hunted down by all countries in the continent.
This is why thieves hate assassinating nobles the most. Nobles generally live in the city. Even if they go out, they will bring certain guards with them. These guards are all organized according to the rank of the nobles and the quotas granted by the country. Most of them
Some of them are given the title of Guardian Knight of a certain country.
Although they are not real knights, they can still be regarded as government forces. Therefore, unless the thieves can kill with one blow when the guards are not around, they must put away the knife as soon as the guards appear, even if they have put the knife on the target's neck.
Flash people.
This can also be regarded as a guarantee for the privileges and life safety of the nobility. Of course, there is no place where you can have a good fight, that is, apply for a duel and set the rules in advance until you die or return. Every city has a gladiatorial arena.
The smallest one can accommodate nearly a hundred people from both sides to fight against each other inside.
And those arenas in big cities can accommodate tens of thousands of people to duel in them. Of course, if you are in the wild, deep in the mountains and forests or in uninhabited places, then you can fight however you want.
At this moment, the two parties fighting outside the hotel are the private soldiers trained by the Cassel family themselves, the other is the mercenary thieves in the field, the hidden forces of the family, and the other is here to rob. None of them are visible characters, so
The two sides had reached a strange tacit understanding and were fighting silently.
At this time, as the intensity of the fight gradually increased, the four people protecting the hotel had gathered together unknowingly, leaving the side of the hotel's main entrance empty, and a figure silently emerged from this area.
Sneaked in from the side.
Paul noticed this figure as soon as he entered the hotel, but Paul was a brave man, so he still pretended to be asleep there and kept silent.
At this time, the figure had quietly sneaked into Paul's house. With a start, he took out Paul's money bag. After padding it, the figure clearly felt that the amount was wrong, so he rummaged around for a long time. As a result,
He was obviously disappointed.
But he knew that the money was either with Paul or Catherine, so he exited Paul's room and wiped it towards Catherine's room.
But what he absolutely shouldn't have was that he had frivolous thoughts about Paul's mother Catherine. He only heard this figure chuckle and said: "I heard that the girl is very beautiful. If she is good, grandpa will go with her."
Accept it, hehe!" What he didn't know was that her words had awakened a god of death who had been silent for a long time.
