In Ferdinand III’s castle, Ferdinand III is reading a book by the fire.

　　 At this time, the blanket on the window moved slightly, as if a breeze was blowing.

　　 But his long career as a knight made Ferdinand III immediately alert.

　　 He clenched his saber tightly, immediately activated his own psychic energy, and then slowly stood up like a tiger.

　　Psionic energy is a technique unique to human beings.

　　 This kind of power born in the human soul will feed on its own magic power, and when it burns magic power, it will greatly increase its own strength, so that humans also have the power to fight against demons.

　　 Each family has its own unique method of psychic cultivation, and through various means to improve its control of psychic energy, in order to gain powerful power.

　　Taking elixir, swallowing the blood of rare beasts, accepting divine grace, self-training...These are all ways to exercise psychic energy.

　　Moreover, psionic energy also has the effect of restraining the devil. Therefore, stimulating and practicing psychic energy is also a required course for those demon hunters.

　　 In the state of psionic burning, Ferdinand III’s five senses increased several times, and he immediately sensed that there was another person in the room besides him.

　　 The psionic energy that belonged to him began to extend outward, flowing into his saber, making his saber even sharper and stronger.

　　 A few seconds later, there was a clap.

　　 "It's been a long time, Ferdinand, your psionic ability is still so outstanding."

　　 Hearing this sound, Ferdinand did not relax his vigilance, but the hand holding the sword became tighter.

　　Humans are sometimes more terrifying than demons.

　　 "Black dagger. What are you doing?"

　　 An ink-like shadow stood out from under the chair.

　　 A tall but thin man with arms over knees walked to the light.

　　 He is wearing a navy blue tights and a mask with a dagger mark on his face, which symbolizes that the opponent is a member of the Assassin Alliance.

　　 In his hand, a poisoned black dagger flew up and down like a black butterfly at his fingertips, showing extraordinary dagger skills.

　　 He was standing in place, and a frivolous voice sounded from under the mask: "The Assassin Alliance has received news that a dungeon from **** has appeared near your castle."

　　 Ferdinand did not speak.

　　 He knew that this news would leak out, but he didn't expect it would leak out so quickly.

　　 The Assassin Alliance’s hand stretched out a bit too long, and if there was a chance, it had to chop off a few.

Seeing that Ferdinand didn’t reply, Black Dagger shrugged and continued: “Don’t be so nervous. Although your nobles are opposed to our Assassin Alliance, you can still have some private exchanges. Benefits and enemies often sleep just after a while. Will change, what do you think?"

　　 "What do you want?" Ferdinand asked in a low voice.

"One-third of the output of the dungeon, we will send some people to the dungeon to accept demonization. The war between the brave and the devil has begun. Although they have not yet jumped out, the Dark Goddess feels that there is It needs to be laid out in advance."

　　 After human beings illegally enter the realm of hell, they will be affected by the laws of hell, and then slowly transform into demons.

　　 After being transformed into demons, they will have special abilities that humans do not have. The most important of them are three: open the attribute panel, gain experience points and upgrade levels, and use skill scrolls.

　　 These three contents were created by the demon kings of the past, and they are the unique abilities of the devil.

　　 However, after the demonization of humans, these three contents will be solidified and can be used even in human form.

　　 Besides, there are also some human beings who have obtained the blessing of the gods and the stigmata before they can obtain these three special abilities.

　　 Therefore, some human beings who do not want to believe in the gods, at the risk of a very high mortality rate, will also look for dungeons and accept demonization in order to gain stronger power.

　　 Understanding what the Assassin Alliance wanted, Ferdinand III slowly tightened like a bow.

　　 Spiritual energy is condensed in his body, and the power on the saber is constantly increasing, causing his body to release the blue light of the sea.

　　 "I refuse. I don't have to deal with you degenerates."

"Really. The negotiations broke down, and my heart is really uncomfortable. In order to relieve this pain, I decided to pretend to be a bard, then go for a few drinks, and by the way, the biggest scandal of the Ferdinand family was compiled into a small song and published. Your sister died due to dystocia, right? That child seemed to have died together. But it didn't take long for you to have a distant nephew. Oh, do you think..."

　　 As if the sword was swung out like lightning, the black dagger immediately withdrew half a step backward, but a blood stain still appeared on the neck.

　　 His entire head spun and flew out, but the strange thing was that the headless body immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed the head in the air, and then took it back.

　　 When the head was in contact with the body, layers of granulation sprouts connected his head and body like tree roots, stopping the bleeding of his wound and quickly growing together.

　　 But the long head is tilted by about 90°, which makes his face always face to the side, which looks even more weird.

　　 "Ah, it's dangerous, I almost didn't get it back. But if you want to kill me, you, the great knight, will spend a lot of work, are you sure you can kill me before I escape?"

　　 Ferdinand III's aura began to flicker continuously, which means that his heart has fallen into a state of hesitation.

　　 And the black dagger didn't push the opponent further.

　　 Because he knew that the other party had agreed to his request.

He smiled happily, his body slowly sinking into the shadow~lightnovelpub.net~ Only a frivolous voice remained: "On behalf of the goddess of the night, thank you for your generosity, Baron Ferdinand III. Please rest assured , I promise that I will not use this reason to threaten you again in the next year."

　　 "The day after tomorrow at the latest, people from the Assassin Alliance will come, and we will assist you in investigating this dungeon. Goodbye."

　　 Ferdinand III watched the black dagger leave in silence, then condensed his aura, walked to his wine cabinet and took out a bottle of spirits, opened the cork, and took a swig.

　　 At this time, his nephew ran in, and the psionic energy on his body was already activated.

　　 "My lord, I feel the fluctuation of your psychic energy, what's the matter?" his nephew asked seriously.

　　 Ferdinand III raised his head and looked at his nephew intently.

　　 Black hair like charcoal, beautiful but strong emerald green eyes, and seemingly weak but powerful body.

so similar.

　　 is so much like his mother.

Reaching out, he sorted out the slightly messy hair for his nephew from running: "Remember, nobles must be respectable at all times. I'm fine, just a mouse in the sewer. Go back to sleep. That's right. , The day after tomorrow at the latest, a few people from the Assassin Alliance will come. I invited them to explore the dungeon. Don’t worry about them.”

　　 "Assassin's League? But sir, don't you hate them the most?"

　　 Ferdinand III sighed: "It's really easy to change interests and enemies. You don't need to sleep, just a few words are enough."

　　 After saying this, Ferdinand III waved his hand and let his nephew leave.

　　 Then, he sat in front of the stove for a long time, his eyes erratic, letting the fire in the stove illuminate half of his light and half of the darkness.
