Banner of the Evil God

The prosperity of Gars City is ranked first in the entire Blue Moon Kingdom. The power of the various organizations under the Riley family is frightening. Not to mention that Lei is just alone now, even with his status back then, he still can't suppress the local snakes!

Unless...he changes his seat now, for example, to the seat where he had hope in the beginning but almost lost his life before he regained consciousness.

...No, it’s useless even if you sit in that seat. Gars City is on the East China Sea and has no border.

Lei sighed secretly and returned to the hotel.

Soon after, Mrs. Teague, who had gone out to inquire about the news, returned. She went to a tavern, but the information she got was no different from Lei's. At most, there is one more sentence: "Master Sheen went out to expand trade routes two years ago. He came back not long ago. It is said that the work was completed well and the city lord was very satisfied."

"It seems... it's very difficult!" A group of people stared at each other, and Lei said with a frown, "This place is simply his base camp. It's difficult to ask him about something here. It's difficult! It's difficult! It's difficult!"

He used the word "difficult" several times in a row, which shows that he is extremely unfavorable about this matter.

"Or should I try to negotiate with him?" Steele said, "Strictly speaking, the key reason for the death of Knight Parn and the others lies in the Church of the Noble Lady and the 'undercurrent' Timsar. The latter has been accompanied by His Majesty. We are chasing it with the 'Rage Tide' Heimsala. I believe that it will be punished sooner or later. What we have to deal with is only the former. Sheen may have reached some agreements with the Noble Lady Church, but for these agreements, Is it worth making an enemy of a god who walks on earth?"

Her words made everyone think deeply. As she said, maybe "negotiation" is also a good choice?

After discussion, everyone finally decided to negotiate with Sheen, hoping that Steele's assessment was correct.

Sean Riley does not live in the City Lord's Mansion, he has his own residence. When everyone came to visit him, they were not blocked and met him smoothly.

As the rumors say, Sheen is a handsome and personable young man. He seemed very humble and polite, making it easy for people to like him.

"Are you the family members of the victims of that shipwreck?" After everyone explained their purpose of coming, he smiled melancholy, "I knew you would come looking for me sooner or later."

"Is this really related to you?" Lei frowned and asked.

"I'm sorry, I have no comment at the moment." Sheen smiled slightly and replied, "I don't doubt your identity, but I doubt your purpose and ability. You must have heard the saying 'Secrecy belongs to the strong. "Power', if you want me to reveal the secret, please prove your ability first."

Lei tapped the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "You mean, you want us to show off our skills?"

Sheen laughed again, as if he didn't feel the aura emanating from Lei at all, and said calmly: "Show me, it's a clown doing a juggling act. About fifty miles west of Gales City, there is a swamp. There are some three-dimensional creatures in the swamp. The snake-headed lizard is pretty good. If you want to prove your strength, just capture one alive."

"You want us to go all the way to catch the three-headed basilisk?" Lei was so angry that he laughed, "Why don't we just catch you?"

Sheen looked at him nonchalantly, showing no sign of weakness: "Don't say such things that will make me doubt your intelligence. Don't say that you are just a warrior who has not even reached the legendary realm. Even if you have entered the legendary realm, you will not be able to do anything." Are you qualified to play tricks on me? You can try, but I won’t be the one who regrets it.”

Lei frowned, feeling something was wrong.

This guy... is too calm!

Power and status can indeed make people confident, and power and status all have their limits. When the distance is so close that you can touch it, even a great king would not dare to show off with a senior warrior - more than one king in history has died at the hands of an assassin who attacked at close range. And those assassins are often only at the intermediate level.

His Majesty Void Mask once said that for a king, a warrior within reach is more powerful than the entire country. At this moment, the distance between Sheen and himself is already within reach for a senior warrior. So where does this guy have the confidence to escape his attack?

He frowned, feeling in a dilemma.

To be fair, his best choice at this moment is to storm out, subdue Sheen directly, and force out all the secrets. Then he took Sheen hostage, rushed out of Gars City, and managed to escape. In the long-distance chase, no matter how strong the military power of Gars City is, it will not be able to give full play to it, and it will most likely turn into a battle between itself and Lord Joseph.

With his equipment and some trump cards, he is not afraid even if he faces the legendary City Lord Joseph.

After all... there was no way that city lord would fight to the death with him at the risk of both dying.

But on the other hand, his intuition told him that "taking action" was definitely not a good choice. Although the reason is unclear, as long as there is a fight, most of the losers will be yourself, and there will be great danger.

Moreover, he is no longer a lone thief and has a group of companions to take care of. If a fight really breaks out, even if he can break through the encirclement and walk away, what will his companions do?

Steel would probably be able to escape, but what about Mrs. Tigg, Liv, Rank, and Little Niss?

He hesitated again and again, but finally did not take action. He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go catch the three-headed lizard. I hope you won't be so stupid as to force me to turn against you!"

After that, he left with the people full of resentment.

Sheen smiled and watched them leave, shaking his head contemptuously.

"Good intuition, but not good vision. The pattern of adventurers is like this after all!"

He sat down again, took out a document and read it, and soon threw this group of people who came from afar out of his mind.

A few days later, Lei returned to Gars City in a somewhat embarrassed manner, bringing a three-headed lizard tied up.

When he carried this giant beast that probably weighed one ton and walked into Gars City step by step like an earthquake, the onlookers almost blocked the city gate.

The three-headed lizard was not a very powerful monster, but it was definitely not weak. It is about four to eight meters long and three to five meters high. The smaller ones weigh seven or eight hundred kilograms, and some of the larger ones can even weigh more than two tons. The huge body gives it amazing strength, and the defense provided by its thick scales is comparable to that of a strongman wearing a full set of steel armor and holding a heavy shield. Not only that, these monsters also have terrifying vitality. Unless some special weapons are used, ordinary weapons must cut off all three of its heads in a short period of time and burn the wounds with flames to truly kill it.

Some three-headed lizards can even use magical abilities, such as fire or ice, or lightning and toxins. It is said that someone once saw a three-headed lizard that lived for a long time. Not only is it huge, but its three heads can also spit out flames, ice and lightning respectively. It is simply ridiculous!

The one that Lei captured alive is of course not a particularly powerful individual. In fact, it is just a monster that has just grown up. In terms of combat power, it is not outstanding. It can probably be killed by a team of skilled adventurers. However, hunting and capturing are completely different, and teamwork and fighting alone are even more different. Being able to catch this guy from the swamp alone and carry him all the way into the city, this warrior who has never appeared in the local area before, his strength should not be underestimated!

"This kind of thing, only those legendary strongmen can do it?" Someone in the crowd of onlookers commented like this.

The news soon reached the ears of the leaders of various forces in Gars City, including the Lord of the City Joseph.

More than one person began to investigate Lei's origins. Because there was no special intention to keep it secret, they quickly investigated it, and then the big guys got a second report.

"What does this kid Xien want to do?" In the majestic Temple of the Goddess of Harvest, Priest He Li Riley held two pieces of intelligence, talked to herself, and fell into deep thought.

Unlike ordinary intelligence merchants, she has a more powerful intelligence channel. She knows a lot of intelligence that is unknown to ordinary people about her brother who seems to be easy to get along with and nothing special at first glance, so she has always been wary of him.

At this moment, the mining ceremony is about to begin, but Sheen is making such a big move at this time. What is his intention?

At this time, Lei has visited Sheen's residence again.

"I have brought what you want, just outside your door." He said to Sheen in a rough voice, "Then you should also tell me the information I want!"

Sheen put down the documents in his hand, smiled slightly, and said gently: "I think you may have remembered something wrong. What I said before was that if you can catch a three-headed snake lizard, you can prove your ability and prove that you are qualified to get the secret. But when did I say that a mere stupid beast can be exchanged for such secret information?"

Lei's face was gloomy, he clenched his teeth and looked at him grimly.

He was on the verge of exploding. These days, he fought with all kinds of messy venomous snakes and beasts in the damn swamp. He had to find a lone three-headed snake lizard, catch it alive, and carry it all the way back... At this moment, he was not only exhausted physically and mentally, but also in a very bad mood.

If Sheen still dared to play tricks, he would leave in a huff. After resting well, he would send his companions away first, then rush in alone, capture this bastard, cut off one of his ears first, and then slowly torture him!

Sheen seemed not to see his eyes that were about to spit fire, and said slowly and logically: "I have always been a trustworthy person. It would cost me a lot to break my trust."

"What do you want?" Lei interrupted his nonsense and asked coldly.

"I will need your strength when the mining ceremony begins." Sheen said lightly, "Before that, you should have a good rest. When everything is settled, if I am not dead by then, I will not only tell you everything, but also help you with all my strength."

"What?!" Lei was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

"Anyway, you will understand when the time comes." Sheen smiled mysteriously.

On this occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, I wish you all good health, smooth work, abundant financial resources, continuous promotion, academic progress, career success, all the best, and all your wishes come true!
