Hearing this, King Temple was shocked. The opponent was not only a level-8warrior?
However, when he saw that Titus’s face became paler and paler, he didn’t care about anything else but hurriedly helped him walk towards his seat.
After sitting down, Titus coughed slightly and took out a pill from his space ring. After taking it, he closed his eyes and began to recuperate. As for the king, he stood aside and waited quietly.
About half a minute later, his face turned a little ruddy and he opened his eyes again.
“We can’t afford to offend such a person.”
He sighed and said slowly, “Since Nora can be with them, perhaps it will be the greatest opportunity in her life. Don’t interfere with this matter. Just let nature take its course.”
King Temple nodded.
“Well, you can go first.” After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Knowing that Titus was going to recover, King Temple bowed and went out.
After King Temple left, Titus, whose eyes were closed, slowly opened his eyes again and looked into the starry sea in the distance. His face was unprecedentedly serious.
“Ever since I became a level-8 practitioner, with the improvement of my astrology, I have a vague sense of unease that I can’t get rid of. No, or more accurately, fear is more appropriate. That feeling is as if the end of the world is coming. Now, there are also several mysterious masters. Will great change take place in the Icacia Continent?”
“If the disaster really comes, I don’t know how many forces will be annihilated in this turmoil.”
After a sighed deep sigh, he closed his eyes again.
In Lister, which was far away from King City, Athena frowned slightly. Just now, she felt a trace of exploration.
The moment she discovered this aura, she immediately took action and extinguished it.
“I wonder who wants to make trouble here, or… have we already been discovered by the powerful warriors on this continent?”
Athena didn’t sense any more aura and she was relieved. Although their strength had been sealed, not everyone could provoke them. However, she didn’t know how powerful she was on this continent. After all, the strongest warrior they had met so far was only a level-7 warrior. She could crush a level-7 warrior to death with one hand.
She shook her head slightly and stopped struggling. She continued to focus on the book in her hand.
The construction of Lister was still going on in order. As the number of the residents increased, Locke built a patrol house to manage the order of Lister.
About one-tenth of the city wall of nearly twenty meters high was built. Locke found that it was much easier to build big projects here. In his previous life, he needs tower cranes, elevators, transportation vehicles and so on. But now a wind mage could control five or six tons of materials at random, so the construction speed of the city wall was very fast.
With the participation of mages, the construction speed of all kinds of houses had increased by several times.
Although the speed increased, Locke was a little helpless that his gold coins were also decreasing rapidly. The price of hiring mages was naturally much higher.
Fortunately, the Victor Pill Shops and Weapon Shops had been opened, and were profitable. Five hundred thousand gold coins were recorded every day. This eased Locke’s financial pressure to a certain extent.
A few days later, Lister was still lively.
Hotel Henry originally belonged to Bone City. It was one of the hotels to settle in Lister in a very short time because it was close to Lister. At present, it had become the most luxurious hotel in Lister.
In the best guest room of Hotel Henry, the crystal chandelier on the roof shone as brightly as the day. On the green stone floor, there was an expensive sandalwood table, and in the middle was a tiger skin sofa. The whole room was luxuriously decorated and grand.
There were five people sitting silently in the room, which made the superior room filled with a faint sense of depression.
“Why hasn’t he come back yet?” A young man with a dagger on his right side impatiently leaned against the sofa.
The white-haired middle-aged man in the middle glanced at the young man and reminded him lightly, “Be patient.”
“It’s just a weak level-5 practitioner. Does it need to waste so much time?” The young man snorted and muttered.
Although he said so, he restrained himself and waited patiently.
A few minutes later, a man of the same age as the young man came in.
“I’ve made some investigations. Locke seldom goes out of the castle recently. All the things have been handed over to Count Capet. That level-7 master also lives in the castle.”
The man who ranked six said after taking a sip of tea.
The white-haired middle-aged man nodded, looked around and said in a deep voice, “Our goal is to kill Locke Capet and Athena. As the most capable assassin of the duke, I don’t want any accident to happen to this mission.”
“Assign tasks now.” The white-haired middle-aged man continued, looking at the two people who had been silent on the left side. “My two younger brothers, you are the first to make a move. Capture Locke Capet, and make some noise to attract the attention of the level-7 practitioner. My oldest younger brother and I will ambush on the only path that the level-7 master will pass through.”
Then, the white-haired middle-aged man began to arrange the details of the action.
Ten minutes later, the white-haired middle-aged man finished his arrangement. Looking at the other five people, he asked in a deep voice, “Have you heard everything clearly?”
“I see.” The other five said in unison.
The white-haired middle-aged man nodded slightly, revealing a ruthless look. “After killing that level-7 master, there is no need to leave any living in the castle.”
The man ranked four said with an obscene smile on his face. “It’s a pity that the woman called Athena is a super beauty. There are even rumors that she is a goddess. It’s really a waste to kill such a beauty like this.”
“You will die for a woman sooner or later.” Looking at his lewd smile, the man ranked five cursed.
“You can play with a woman at other times. If the mission fails…”
As he spoke, the white-haired middle-aged man gave the man ranked four a meaningful look. In the Vic clan, if a mission failed, he would be seriously punished.
His face froze. He smiled awkwardly and quickly promised, “I promise to complete the task!”
Seeing that the man ranked four had calmed down a lot, he announced coldly, “Get ready to take action.”
The other five nodded and stood up decisively.
“Sorry, the action is canceled.”
However, before everyone’s feet moved a little, a flat but creepy voice came out.
Call off?
For a moment, none of the six people present understood what he meant.
However, as professional killers trained by the Vic clan, the six of them had excellent reaction abilities.
Boom!
In an instant, they came to their senses and burst out their strength. The six all retreated in the opposite direction of the sound. Their powerful momentum directly overturned the carved tables and chairs in the room.
When they were about to retreat, they had already turned around. Among them, the swordsman who ranked five and the warrior who ranked four were in the front, while the man ranked six and the man ranked two, who were proficient in hiding and assassination, were on both sides. The white-haired middle-aged man, a mage, and the man ranked three were in the middle, which was the safest position. After numerous assassination missions, the six had formed a unique tacit understanding. Even in an emergency like just now, they would subconsciously pull out the formation to protect each other.
At this time, the six looked serious as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
