"I think... I still need to practice."
Rod was silent for a long time and gave the answer.
This is the truth. He feels that the pressure brought by [demon hunting expert] has not been fully digested. If he seeks promotion at this time, failure is the only possibility!
"You should remember that the firmness of the soul is the premise for the demon hunter to advance! We must keep close to the light to fight against the impending evil!"
The old demon hunter made a praying gesture piously: "open your heart and let the goddess help you!"
"I've done it!"
Rod said impatiently.
"That's because your heart is not open enough..." the old demon hunter frowned: "if you can't complete the complete spiritual 'sanctification', you will never be promoted to legendary [Paladin] in the future!"
"Of course I know! I'm trying!" Rod forced his anxiety down.
"Yes, after all, it's the portley family, a demon hunter family who has been out of the sixth level [God's Guard]... Remember, you can only go this way, which your ancestors proved."
The old demon hunter's original expression softened a little: "one more thing, I'm leaving. I've received the mission of the church and go to the middle!"
"Mission? Why don't you bring me?" Rod's nose is so sharp that he can smell something at once.
"Ha ha... Your enthusiasm for the mission proves your loyalty to the church, but this time, you can't..." the old demon hunter shook his head: "the demon professional in the mission is very dangerous, very dangerous, extremely dangerous! It's not suitable for 'newcomers'... Well, although you're at level three, you're not a real veteran."
"Sounds more interesting. Who's the target?" Rod licked his lips.
"A strong man of the angsking family, he appeared in the middle of the Federation..." the old demon hunter said indifferently: "angsking... You'd better not mention this surname when you're alone. It may lead to some bad things. Of course... It doesn't matter when you're with me."
"A family that can't say its name?" Rod tilted his head and thought, "I seem to have heard my father mention it. I always thought it was just a story. It seems that the goal this time is very strong, the fifth level legend? Old man... Don't die."
Although he thought the teacher was very annoying and his faith was as stubborn as a stone in the toilet, he taught him a lot after all.
"If I die, it is also the will of the goddess!"
The old demon hunter smiled and said, "while I'm away, you can take the task from the church and exchange the items you want..."
After that, his figure disappeared into the fog.
Rod looked at the place where he disappeared, and his eyes suddenly became frozen.
Step by step, he walked out of the dense forest and returned to a dilapidated rental apartment, which was his temporary foothold. He shared a single room with a group of people.
Bang Dang!
Rod opened the door and found a letter stuffed under the crack.
He threw away the hamburger juice he had bought. He opened the envelope and looked through it. An excited expression appeared on his face: "he's finally back."
Rod didn't care about eating, so he hurried to clean up and was ready to leave the city.
When he came to the door of the apartment, a man suddenly appeared and stopped in front of him.
He recognized that this was the landlord of the apartment, a fat pig, stingy and black hearted guy.
At this time, the fat landlord blocked opposite rod: "Marvin... You've owed the rent for three days. If you don't pay it, I'll drive you to sleep on the street."
Rod frowned: "how can I remember... I still have a deposit with you? Isn't it enough to pay off?"
"Deposit?"
The landlord stepped forward, his shiny lips danced up and down like two sausages, and his saliva flew: "how are you going to mention the deposit with me? You damaged my furniture, water consumption and candles... These are all money!"
He is sure that he can rent such a cheap apartment. They are bankrupt and poor workers close to the bottom of society, and can be unscrupulously squeezed.
"Mr. landlord, I want to have a word with you..."
Rod looked around, and there was a close landlord: "disgusting fly, I've endured you for a long time!"
Bang!
With that, he punched the landlord's fat face and strode away.
……
Meanwhile, Huanuo town.
Sulu has put on the "cover of the crow", changed his identity and settled down.
There was no pressure to change ordinary people's memory by starting with "spiritual magic", so his identity became Howard, a distant nephew of a local businessman.
The young man is a traveler. He has just finished browsing the customs and terror of the sea, so he wants to stay at his uncle's house for a while.
He forged this identity, naturally in order to facilitate nearby surveillance.
Sulu's strength has improved recently, and his courage has also increased a little. He wants to see if he can catch the tail of the Black Death society with his own exposure.
As for some clues, if you can solve them, you must solve them yourself and accumulate experience.
If not, report directly to the church or the 11th Bureau.
It was just beyond his expectation that the town was very quiet after many days.
It seems that the power of the Black Death society has not extended to the level of Huanuo town.
However, considering the distance between cities and towns on the west coast, it seems that it does take a lot of time to passively wait for the spread of information instead of actively transmitting information.
Sulu was relieved and continued to wait.
The next morning.
He wore loose casual clothes, tasted local milk and apple pie, and read the newspaper.
"There was a terrible attack in Rory and the city hall declared a state of emergency?"
The first thing that came into view was a bold and enlarged line of common Hebrew, which made Sulu see some convulsions in the corners of his mouth: "sure enough... 'mysterious elder' bukadi will have a big problem after witnessing the true face of the ancient snake... I hope the dougwell family can cope with it, but even if they can't, there are the Federation and the church."
Soon another piece of news caught his eye:
"The Francis consortium invested heavily in the construction of telegraph lines on the east coast? Did Olch Francis do it?"
Sulu touched his chin.
When he was in the inner ring of Greentree castle, he made a transaction with the other party and bought shares with patents in exchange for a large number of points, which is the basis of his rise in the inner ring.
However, some shares were retained.
"I hope they don't forget my dividend, otherwise..."
Sulu's eyes flashed a dangerous light. Although he was well aware of the tricks of those consortia, at the beginning, this huge capital construction must have lost money, and there was no dividend. Let him make additional investment, otherwise dilution of shares is an ordinary means.
However, if he goes too far, he is not an ordinary person without the slightest fight back!
