After a few minutes.

The Wangdao soldiers who had gone away in the chase returned, their expressions were not very good.

Byrons walked out from behind Chu Jing, and said angrily, "They ran away?"

The leader of the soldiers showed a shameful expression: "I'm very sorry, Master Byrons, those assassins are too cunning..."

As soon as the words fell, Byrons' face was furious, and he yelled directly: "Stupid pigs, you guys are really stupid pigs, it's really ridiculous to have you guys under the command of a wise and mighty monarch!"

This blunt humiliation made the soldiers blushed. They couldn't bear the humiliation, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Byrons was being hunted down by the assassins, and he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Naturally, he pushed forward and scolded the soldiers bloody.

In the end, he finally vented a lot of anger, and Chu Jing immediately said: "Master Byrons, I don't know if the group of assassins will come back. The most urgent thing is to return to the mansion first, so that it is safe!"

As he spoke, he said to the group of soldiers: "If you want to make up for your mistakes, escort Master Byrons home first!"

The soldiers were so happy, but they also felt depressed when they thought of facing Byrons' face on the road.

"Let's go, Master Byrons, I will protect you."

Chu Jing spoke bravely, and Byrons nodded, not caring about the life and death of that house, and walked towards the mansion cautiously, not forgetting to look around along the way, guarding against possible crises.

...

In this way, the group arrived at the No. 1 area, in front of Duke Mickey's mansion without any risk.

Just at this time, the gate of the mansion opened, and the aged Duke Mickey walked out quickly surrounded by a group of followers, guards, and heirs.

After discovering Byrons, he immediately walked over and grabbed the former's shoulders, looked up and down several times, and after confirming that his son was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Thank you Sea God, my Byron, you It's fine."

Byrons showed anger: "Father, although I'm fine, I lost all the money I won for you this time!"

"Um?"

Duke Mickey didn't understand very well.

Byrons recounted his heroic deeds in the women's arena.

He told the story of the attack again angrily.

Mickey was furious when he heard the words: "I didn't expect my child to encounter such a crisis in such a short period of time? Fortunately, the sea god took care of you and didn't cause you any harm."

While speaking, his eyes fell on Chu Jing who was on the side, and he nodded slightly: "Although most adventurers are annoying existences, you are not bad."

At the same moment, a system prompt appeared in front of Chu Jing.

"Duke Mickey's favorability towards you +100!"

The favorability of duke-level characters, for ordinary players, every point is more or less important, and it is coveted.

And Chu Jing actually got a hundred points this time.

It can be described as a great reward.

"Father, this young man from Dawan is indeed very good, and I plan to keep him by my side as a long-term servant."

Byrons did not hide his admiration for Chu Jing, and at the same time, Chu Jing received another system prompt.

"Barrons' favorability towards you +60!"

Chu Jing was slightly startled when he saw the favorability indicator in this line, because he saved his life, why did Byrons give him sixty favorability?

However, Grand Duke Mickey gave himself a hundred favorability points. Why?

Is it because Byrons is mean?

or other reasons?

While Chu Jing was thinking about it, Grand Duke Mickey looked at Chu Jing with admiration and said, "Adventurer, from now on, you can work beside Byron. Your salary is 50,000 gold coins per month, and I will give it to you at that time." .”

Fifty thousand gold coins per month, this is already a super high income in King Island.

But for gold players.

The job is not hard and the pay is high.

It's a top job!

Chu Jing also showed gratitude in cooperation: "Thank you, Lord Duke, and thank you, Master Byrons."

"Okay, let's go home."

Duke Mickey then shouted, and everyone went back home.

Duke Mickey's mansion is huge.

It covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters.

There are many buildings in it.

It looks like a manor.

Grand Duke Mickey took Byrons back to the castle in the complex.

Although Chu Jing was a follower, he was not allowed to enter the castle. He was only eligible to enter when Byrons summoned him.

And what Chu Jing needs is to wait for Byrons to go out and act as a dog's leg behind him.

During the rest of the time, Chu Jing can be active inside and outside the manor.

Well, basically nothing to do, mixed salary.

...

It's night.

Chu Jing came out of the manor.

This time Chu Jing didn't use stealth, and left the manor openly.

——As a player, in addition to doing tasks, there are also more trivial things such as daily fighting monsters.

As high-level NPCs, Grand Duke Mickey and Byrons naturally understand this truth.

Therefore, Chu Jing left the manor without being suspected.

After leaving City No. 1 and entering City No. 2, Chu Jing switched on his disguise and took on the appearance of another player.

Immediately afterwards, he entered the teleportation array, arrived at City No. 8, and walked into a tavern.

In the box of the tavern.

Chu Jing saw a man in a black cloak.

As the man took off his cloak, a face full of wrinkles and smiling like an old fox appeared in front of Chu Jing.

If people outside the tavern recognized the old man's face, their eyes would probably be shocked.

Because the owner of this face is none other than the well-known high-ranking NPC in Chaoge Kingdom, the Duke of Roang!

"Don't be surprised, you seem to be late."

Grand Duke Roon made a gesture of invitation.

After Chu Jing sat down, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, in order to avoid being suspected, I can only do this."

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so cautious."

"Of course, there is a saying among us adventurers, be careful with the Ten Thousand Years Ship."

Chu Jing responded with a smile, and suddenly said with a serious expression: "Are those of your subordinates okay?"

Luo Ang smiled and clapped his hands.

Beware that the door was pushed open, and a man in a windbreaker and carrying a bow and arrow walked in.

This man gives people a feeling of strangeness and familiarity.

The strange city was his face, and Chu Jing had never seen this outfit before.

What was familiar was that Chu Jing had seen the look in the man's eyes not long ago.

"Hello, Count Jingrong."

The man spoke slightly, his voice low.

Chu Jing laughed suddenly and said, "You are the one acting with me."

If Byrons was present, he would have recognized that the man with the bow was the assassin who had almost shot him before.

"It's me."

Although the man was arched and dressed in a cool outfit, his words were not cruel at all, and he was very polite.

After a brief greeting, Grand Duke Roang smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, in order to cooperate with you, I took a lot of risks. You know, Mickey, many children can ignore it, but they can't ignore that Byrons .If he finds out, and I send people to attack Byrons, I'm afraid they will find me desperately."

"Although I'm not afraid of Mickey, I don't want to conflict with him. After all, peace is the foundation of long-term survival these days."

Chu Jing showed a serious expression when he heard the words: "Thank you Lord Luo Ang for giving up your life to help me. After this time, our friendship has become stronger, and I, Chu Jing, owe you a favor."

Before in the women's arena.

It was learned that he could no longer approach Byrons.

Chu Jing came up with this plan.

Let the Duke of Roon send someone to pretend to attack Byrons.

This creates despair.

Then Chu Jing rescued Byrons from the desperate situation.

In this case, Byrons must be grateful to Chu Jing, and there is a reason to keep Chu Jing by his side for a long time.

Chu Jing can also investigate whether Byrons is the president of the Mask Society!

For now.

Roon is very powerful.

The assassins sent were very brutal, and they successfully created a desperate situation.

Chu Jing's plan also went very well.

I got close to Byrons as I wished.

"Haha, don't be so polite, we are all partners, we are all partners."

Luo Ang laughed heartily, and immediately started drinking with Chu Jing.

At the end of the drinking game, Ro Ang looked at Chu with deep meaning and said in surprise: "Don't be surprised, do you really have the confidence to give Mickey a heavy blow this time?"

Although Luo Ang helped Chu Jing.

But he is not a selfless person, nor is he a man who can do anything for his friends.

Whatever he does, he has to consider his own interests.

This time I learned that Chu Jing approached Byrons in order to check his identity for assassination.

And thinking of all this, it can deal a heavy blow to the old enemy Mickey.

Roon readily agreed.

"Your Excellency, Duke Roon, if Byrons is really the president of the Mask Society, I will kill him mercilessly!"

Chu Jing swore.

Luo Ang asked again: "Did you see his strength in the previous conflict?"

Chu Jing made this assassination firstly because he wanted to get close to Byrons, and secondly because he wanted to see if this person was skilled.

If Byrons really showed a skill that is not suitable for a dandy.

Then he is the president of the Mask Society, and it is basically a stone hammer.

"No."

Chu Jing shook his head regretfully.

All Byrons showed during the assassination was fear and shock.

It also didn't show the reaction of a strong person.

"Is that so? Are you afraid of finding the wrong person?"

Roon asked again.

Chu Jing shook his head and said, "I have confidence in my sources of information."

Luo Ang was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Jing said with a serious expression: "Duke Luo Ang, those two people I asked you to find..."

"In the tavern, you can meet them now."

...

at the same time.

In another box of the tavern.

A woman, kneeling in front of the sofa in the box.

A piece of white cloth is covered on the sofa, and under the white cloth is the outline of a person. It can be vaguely seen that this is a man.

Funerals in this world are just like the real world.

The dead are all covered with a white cloth.

In other words, the person covered with a white cloth on the sofa is already dead!

The woman looked at the white cloth and was about to cry, almost collapsing.

"vomit!"

Crying and crying, the woman began to vomit blood on her knees, and her breath became very weak, like a candle that was about to go out.

With a "plop", the woman fell in front of the sofa, reaching out her hand in despair, wanting to touch the white cloth.

At this time, the door of the box opened, and Chu Jing walked in under the leadership of Luo Ang.

And the dying woman on the ground found Chu Jing, and a pair of eyes with faint divine light suddenly burst out with a venomous light.
