Han Shuo would never have thought that this woman would make such a sudden move. He only said one sentence before moving on to action. The sword moved towards him, its fiery heat already causing his skin to be uncomfortable.
A cold snort, the Edge Demonslayer suddenly appeared in Han Shuo's left hand. He implanted it with a magic yuan in the manner of “Mystical Glacial Spellfire”, making the dark red Demonslayer Edge suddenly emit a faint, purple air. The temperature inside the room suddenly changed, Candice's side was fiery, while Han Shuo was cold globally.
Their two swords had never even met when the two hot and cold explosions met each other. A cloud of white smoke billowed, but what shocked Phoebe was that Han Shuo's purple frozen air was different from any other ice magic he had ever seen before. It was somewhat like something alive, and could even walk in a twisted manner.
When Han Shuo and Candice's swords connected, a ferocious power, interspersed with battle aura, crashed into Demonslayer Edge Han Shuo like an iron hammer. Han Shuo curiously retreated a few steps, but the battle aura found it hard to continue after surging into the Demonslayer Edge. It couldn't break through Demonslayer Edge's resistance to hurt Han Shuo.
It was a bit of Candice who suddenly cried out in shock. When the white mist disappeared and Han Shuo once again looked at Candice, the broadsword in his hand already had a huge chip inside. It looked like the Edge Demonslayer had tampered with it.
Candice looks like she has the power of a senior swordsman, and her power is even more unfathomable because she also has fire magic. The sword in his hand should have been a magical sword of extremely high quality, a sword that increased the power of the fire magic it carried. Who would have thought that a good quality sword would soon be marked by Han Shuo.
Just when Candice looked at the broadsword in her hand with a shocked and angry expression, seemingly wanting to chase a fight, Phoebe, standing to the side, suddenly spoke. “Well Candice, Bryan's skills are not his brute strength. I've already said his majesty comes from his incredible senses. ”
“He, he destroyed my magic sword!” Candice first looked at Han Shuo and then complained to Phoebe.
“Konyol, you asked for it. If you don't improve your brash nature, you will suffer many losses in the future! “Phoebe moved a resigned look at Candice and tried to say a few words with good intentions. As her beautiful eyes looked at Han Shuo, Phoebe showed a very interested expression. He exclaimed in surprise, “Is this the weapon you want to forge? Can I see him? ”
“Nothing can be seen, it's just a little sharper than a regular weapon!” Han Shuo put away Demonslayer Edge without a change of expression, only smiling at Phoebe as soon as he put it down.
“Hah! The grinch! ”Seru Phoebe gently and then pointed towards Candice, introducing her to Han Shuo. “This is the vice-captain of Battlefire mercenary band, Candice. He's a friend I've known for a long time. Even though his emotions were a bit impudent, he was a good person. Don't mind him! ”
Nodding, Han Shuo glanced at Candice, smiling, “I don't mind, but I hope she doesn't hold a grudge, heh heh!”
“It was just a magic sword, and it wasn't completely destroyed. I'm not that bad. Phoebe, you chat about your personal matters, I'll keep the door outside. I hope that damned Grover will come to his senses. ”Candice looked at Han Shuo with disdain, and then walked out with a heartbroken expression on her face as she looked at the broadsword in her hand.
When he saw Candice walking out of the room, Han Shuo felt that although this girl was a bit grumpy, she was not the vindictive type. Otherwise, he wouldn't just leave.
“I've come to buy rations from You, and want to ask You to find a remote residence for Me. It doesn't have to be big, as long as it's guaranteed no one will find me easily.”Han Shuo did not hide anything as he looked at Phoebe, directly speaking bluntly.
“No problem, how much food do you need?” Phoebe was quite firm and had no doubts at all. He agreed, and then asked how much food was needed after that.
“About enough for a hundred people to face winter.” Han Shuo responded.
Phoebe looked at Han Shuo strangely as soon as she spoke. As he began to feel completely uneasy from his sight, Phoebe asked, puzzled, “What are you going to do with a winter ration that is enough for a hundred people? Are you planning to leave the Empire? ”
Shaking his head wryly, Han Shuo knew that he would be suspicious. He said, “Don't think too much, I help a friend solve a difficult problem. I will not leave the Empire in the short term without getting rid of Grover first. ”
“No problem about food, but you have to give me a few days to prepare it. As for the secluded residence, I advise you not to stay alone outside for now as Grover and the members of ‘Shadow Ghost’ have been constantly looking at you as a thorn in their side. If I'm looking for a place to stay for you through My ways, it might allow Grover to pick up some clues. ”
“Mm, if you don't mind, you can stay here at my place for now. This way we can help each other too. When Grover's threat is neutralized, I can leave this house for you and we will return to the Guild again, what do you think? “Phoebe thought for a moment and stared directly at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo thought carefully about Phoebe's suggestion and felt that what she said made sense. However, he was less enthusiastic about accepting the house. After all, even if Grover's threat is eradicated, there is still a threat if a big killer organization like “Shadow Ghost” knows his hideout.
“I know what you're worried about, so don't worry. As long as Grover is eliminated, I have a way to make sure that ‘Hantu’ Shadows will never make trouble for us again. I officially took control of the Guild lately and was gathering evidence about Grover's crimes. Grandpa Andrew also supports me fully. Grandpa Andrew even found traces of Grover's old mistress. He had already sent the man to take back the items. I think Grover's even more scared than we are now. “Phoebe uttered words of comfort after seeing Han Shuo's brows knitting.
Nodding, Han Shuo said, “Then alright, I will stay here for a while. I'll leave once Grover's threat has been removed! ”
“It's cool! With you here, those damned assassins won't be able to ambush us! “Phoebe was overjoyed to see Han Shuo agree.
Han Shuo sat cross-legged on the bed at night and started circulating his magic yuan, practicing magic as usual.
Han Shuo's magical realm had now reached the level of a formed spirit. This level is the process that unlocks the brain's potential. As long as he made it through this level, Han Shuo's memories, comprehension ability, and observation skills would all improve greatly. His mind would be much smarter than ordinary people.
Except, since this level was a kind of awakening potential of the mind, it was extremely risky. One misstep can result in the mind sinking into chaos, moving completely according to instinct. If it is serious, then the practitioner may lose their memory or have a multiple personality even after recovering from that state.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Han Shuo's head was enveloped by a cloud of black light. It was like a cloud of black lightning that surrounded Han Shuo's head and continuously released an incredible amount of lightning.
This status is maintained for who knows how long. Han Shuo took a light breath and stopped practicing with a sense of trepidation. After learning the horrors of the “roh formed” world, Han Shuo himself proceeded carefully. He had always chosen the quietest conditions to train in, and did not dare to let outside things bother him.
After he stopped practicing, Han Shuo saw that he was still in a good mental state and started meditating carefully, wanting to increase his mental strength through meditation. Suddenly, his mind shook from the collision and his mental strength began to gather at a speed several times faster than usual according to Han Shuo's mind.
Death energy was present everywhere under heaven and earth. Han Shuo could sense very clearly this time that through the use of mental strength, he could even slowly, little by little gather death energy. He could sense that the way it gathered death energy was something that was absolutely impossible to achieve in normal terms in magic casting.
The meditation this time brought Han Shuo to an incredible world. Han Shuo could clearly feel that his mental strength was increasing faster than before. Although the benefits are not as great as when he used “Darkness Eyes”, the mental strength gained from this type of meditation is quite pure and clean and is not accompanied by pain.
When Han Shuo woke up from his meditation, he suddenly remembered that the first two levels of demonic magic emphasized training of meridians and body bones, respectively, but the level of “roh formed” is really made to train the potential of the mind. The meditation of the witches was fully used to gather mental strength in the mind. They will not use it to train other parts of the body.
Judging from this, if Han Shuo's brain potential received a high level increase, then the speed of his mind gathering mental strength would naturally greatly increase. This would then result in unaccountable benefits when Han Shuo practiced his magic in the future.
“Indeed, it seems like the same crime training methods from two different worlds can complement each other. It seems like even without ‘Dark Eyes’, the amount of mental strength I received from meditation was far more than ordinary witches. “Han Shuo was happy and muttered to himself.
“Phoebe, you like this boy?” At this moment, a light voice of conversation floated over from next door.
The soundproofing of this house is good to start with. If it was anyone else, they would absolutely not be able to clearly hear the conversation from the other rooms through the wall, but Han Shuo was no ordinary person. The peculiarity of his ear sensitivity allowed him to clearly hear the muttering conversations of the two girls in the middle of the night.
“Candice, what nonsense are you talking about? Bryan helped me a few times, we were just friends fighting side by side, “Phoebe had lowered her voice until it ran out and argued.
“I guess not, if it's just friends fighting side by side, then why do you keep defending him and giving him such high praise? I just thought you treated her a little differently, that's all. Is there something going on between the two of you? From my experienced instincts as a mercenary, you actually treat him differently from everyone else! ”Candice's voice was overwhelmed by a thick distrust and seemed to speak quite professionally.
“Really, there's nothing. We've been friends for years, am I going to lie to you? Oh, right, what do you think of Bryan? ”
“What do you mean?”
“One word – is weird! No matter his skill, the strange sword in his hand, or his background, it was all very strange. I think this person should have a secret hidden by him, you better be careful! ”
“I didn't ask you that, I already knew about that first .. why do I need you to remind me? I'm asking you how he is as a person? “Phoebe's tone was strange when she asked again.
“Hahs. And you said you were an ordinary friend. I don't see you care so much about your other friends. His appearance was fine, but he was neither handsome nor charming. I haven't made contact with anything else, but according to your description, she doesn't seem to be much. Small, make a profit, and want***doesn't seem like a pro! ”
Han Shuo heard everything they discussed and cursed Candice inwardly when the three original demons in a location further away suddenly sensed a murderous approach.
There were ten assassins this time, one of them dressed all in black and his body floated in the air. It seems like he is at least of the archmage level. Through the vision of the original demon, Han Shuo could see that Grover had also appeared in the distance. His face was extremely cautious, and the experts by his side, like Ellis and the others, were all part of the operation this time around. It seems Grover risked everything on one roll of the dice. He plans to make it harder for Phoebe to escape this time.
The three original demons slowly changed their direction according to Han Shuo's instructions. They carefully avoided the area covered by the mental strength of the archmage, and carefully sensed the strength and number of people coming. It was early in the morning at this time, and the guards were in the northern part of the heavily fortified city. It took a few minutes and that was when security was laxest in the entire northern part of the city. It seems like these people have already carefully checked the conditions here.
Han Shuo measured the strength by his side and he felt that the possibilities were stacked against him. He could no longer pay attention to Phoebe and Candice's talk. He rushed out of his room at the fastest speed possible, kicked the door to his room open with his feet and rushed in without reservation for anything.
