Longxiao City, Xichi Avenue.

"I...I'm here!" A young man arrived at a butcher's shop while running, pressed against the wall and gasped: "Today the Prince of Stars came to the city, so I went..."

"Are you looking for your future wife again?" The butcher shop owner unceremoniously exposed his lies and snorted: "Is that why you are late today?"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense... I'm just going to give you some gifts," the young man's face turned red: "And Sethia is not mine yet... mine..."

"You are such an idiot, Kevin." The butcher shop owner looked at the red-faced Kevin with contempt as if he had experienced it before: "Just sending some small gifts every now and then is not enough. You have to boldly confess your love. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, the young man Kevin grabbed his hair in worry: "You don't know, she has a vicious father and a weird nickname called Belt... It is said that she is still watching the glacier.

I don’t think he will ever allow his daughter to marry someone...a..."

"A poor boy who runs errands in the poor gang?" The butcher shop owner chopped open a pork tibia.

"Yes," Kevin clapped his hands and nodded sadly, "That's it!"

"Then just like a man, go see him face to face and talk to your sweetheart's father!" The butcher shop owner looked fierce and slashed into the chopping board with his knife.

Kevin was startled. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time.

Finally, I dejectedly took the words "I don't dare" into my heart.

"Humph, you coward," the butcher shop owner looked down upon him with contempt: "If you don't dare, just forget it... What about your job?"

"Here you go." Kevin said glumly, stuffing a ball of paper over his shoulder nonchalantly: "It is said to be a reply from Boss Griever."

The butcher shop owner took the paper ball and watched Kevin leave with a frustrated look on his face.

"It's such a leisurely life," a brisk voice said from behind the butcher shop: "Butchering, selling meat, and maybe even helping some stupid poor boys come up with love ideas."

The butcher shop owner's expression changed slightly.

He turned around and closed the door of the butcher shop.

"Come and visit me at this time," Gu, the butcher shop owner from the Far East, slowly turned around, spoke a common language with a North accent, and whispered to the dark corner behind him: "You are not afraid of being attacked by the gangsters who may come back.

Sword found?”

"After all, it was your idea to use false news to keep him."

The young man in white, Raphael Lindbergh, showed his face from the dark corner and smiled softly.

Gu's eyelids drooped, raising his inner vigilance like a prairie wolf.

Appearing so confidently, it seems that he really has a way to avoid being discovered by Black Sword.

Even the Black Sword's terrifying and inhuman perception - knowing all the movements within hundreds of meters in his mind, and the flies, insects, rats and birds have nowhere to hide - can he hide it?

Gu narrowed his eyes.

Raphael did not answer Gu, but only heard him sarcastically say: "Why, before you betrayed Wuyiwei, were you also a love consultant? Are you very experienced in this field?"

Gu heard those three words.

Even though his control of body reactions has become as fine and perfect as his after years of training and habits, he can't help but feel his heart beat slightly and his energy and blood move slightly.

Gu raised his eyes and looked at Raphael quietly.

The eyes of both men were as calm as water.

But only they themselves know the dangerous undercurrent hidden under their words.

[Never rush to show off the kill, but look for the enemy's weaknesses in endless temptations, attack sideways, take advantage of the trend, and add fuel to the flames - this is the habit inherited from the Secret Army by the Kingdom's Secret Department

style.

Since Suye and Xingchen formed an alliance, we have been fighting secretly with the Secret Society, and we are well aware of its unique style and methods:

But the question is, how can we resist?]

The master's words echoed in his ears, making Gu more alert.

"It's very interesting to see the ordinary lives and experiences of these people," Gu turned around and glanced at the empty store with a relaxed expression - most of the people had gone to watch the excitement of the Prince of Stars entering the city - and packed up as if no one else was there.

Looking at the tabletop, he said intentionally or unintentionally:

"You know, after staying in despair and darkness for a long time, you always want to breathe some hope and look for some sunshine."

"I thought based on your experience, you would have been used to seeing things like 'interesting'." Raphael raised the corner of his mouth.

"Get used to it?"

"That boy, Kevin is a real poor man," Gu sneered lightly and said with a playful expression: "Wealth, family background, strength, status, he has nothing."

"But he has his own sweetheart, and in his heart, he will imagine her as the most beautiful person in the world."

"Think of her with a smile, think of her with joy, think of her with hope."

"The most important thing is that no matter how difficult it is, he has the right to pursue these happiness and get closer to an infinitely beautiful goal." Gu turned around slightly and looked directly at the surprised Raphael: "He is the one who is truly alive."

The sun fell into the store and shone on Gu's body.

"Compared with scum like you and me, who live in darkness and secrets," Gu's eyes were calm and his tone was calm, "he is a complete person."

"Isn't it interesting?"

Half of Raphael's body was hidden in the darkness of the corner, and he listened quietly to Gu's words.

"If you are used to seeing beautiful people, you will also get used to being weak." Raphael's expression did not change: "Just like those things that made you weak in the past, think about it, King Yao..."

"I don't need to be tough," Gu suddenly interrupted Raphael. His tone was calm but unquestionable: "I just need you to fulfill the deal."

[Compared to your senior brother’s sharp sword scabbard and your senior sister’s long sleeves and good dancing, you are like a dagger in the dark. It never sees the light of day and no one knows about it. Only when it is handed out does it show its power. Therefore, you

Avoid any unnecessary battles and confrontations, and focus on nourishing your last, most critical, and most fatal blow.】

The master's words echoed in his ears again, making his face darken.

Dagger in the dark.

Not seeing the light of day.

Waiting for the moment to be delivered.

such a pity.

Gu took a deep breath, his face expressionless.

Raphael looked at him steadily, without moving his eyes for a moment, but smiled softly at the end.

"Don't worry, our information will not be wrong," Raphael said with interest: "The method of assassinating His Highness Thales under the fortress is their usual style... You will definitely find what you want."

Gu nodded silently.

Raphael showed a perfect smile and lowered his head.

"The prince and his party have entered Longxiao City and are currently in the Palace of Heroes." The young man in white no longer dwelled on the topic: "And where is your news?"

Gu stared at it, then slowly unfolded the paper ball sent by Kevin and swept it slightly.

"According to the news from the local gang, the monster's location has been basically confirmed," Gu put down the ball of paper and muttered: "Although I don't know what you are planning to do..."

Raphael chuckled and nodded.

"Don't worry," he said in a strange tone and with righteous words: "We are the righteous party, aren't we?"

"As a destroyer of disasters, we contribute to the security of mankind."

Gu Leng snorted, turned and left.

"Shit."

Raphael shook his head and chuckled indifferently.

He turned his head and looked out the window, looking at the Palace of Heroes high on the mountain.

Lost in trance for a moment.

Raphael couldn't help but think of what Gu said about the young man just now.

He has his own sweetheart.

In his heart, he would imagine her to be the most beautiful person in the world.

Think of her with a smile, think of her with joy, think of her with hope.

The eyes of young people are getting darker and darker.

Until he gently closed his eyes.

————

Thales looked at the cross sword on the ground with cold sweat.

What's happening here?

Slit your own throat?

The faces of Nikolai and Slash flashed before his eyes, but in Thales's eyes, their expressions were extremely ironic.

[For the common interests of Your Highness and His Majesty Nunn, he invites you to join his revenge. The hunter has sharpened his sword, the traps and traps are in place, and the prey is in danger of escaping.]

The time traveler raised his head and looked at the old man who was supposed to be his "ally" in disbelief.
