Chapter 96 Road

  "I couldn't bear to. The materials needed to release this magic are too precious." Han Jin said: "Besides, I overestimated the effect of the Frenzy Spell and underestimated that guy's attack power."

  "What materials are needed?" Xanthe and the others asked in unison. Compared to the powerful effect of magic, the preciousness of the materials can be completely ignored. Moreover, they also understood why Han Jin had driven others out. If this news were to spread, it would bring unpredictable consequences to the entire team. Those high-ranking lords would definitely treat Han Jin as a treasure and target them at all costs in order to control him firmly in their hands. Who wouldn't want to have another life?

  "It's really troublesome..." Han Jin could only use this excuse to brush it off.

  "It's too troublesome, let's talk about it later." Xanier paused: "Right. You just drilled out from underground... what kind of magic is that?"

  "It's a nameless magic. I only know how to release it." Han Jin got a headache. A flash of inspiration in his mind. His body also shook slightly, showing a look of exhaustion.

  "Don't ask anymore. Let Raphael rest." Lei Zhe said.

  "Mo Xinkē. Don't think that just because you have an extra life, you can do as you please!" Han Jin looked at Mo Xinkē and slowly said: "I'll repeat it again. The materials needed for this magic are very precious. The probability of failure is also very high!"

  "I know." Mo Xing Ke's voice was cold and detached as he replied, "Do you think I'm stupid? You've suffered such a severe injury. You can't even bear to release your magic. Do you think I'd be reckless?"

  "You said that, I'm relieved." Han Jin let out a sigh of relief. At his current rate of absorbing magic crystals, it would take him seven or eight days to accumulate enough earth elements to create a Earth Escape Symbol. If he were to create an Earth Corpse Curse, it would take at least two months or more. He only had this one Earth Corpse Curse in his hand, and after giving it to Mo Xinkou, even he himself wouldn't have any left. If Mo Xinkou didn't treasure it, he would go crazy on the spot.

  Xian Ni'er's face turned slightly red. She had only been thinking about the magical effects just now, and was eager to verify them. However, she had neglected one fact: if Han Jin could release this kind of magic at will, how would he have gotten injured?

  "In a few more days... Then have Raez make a magic scroll. That way we'll be safer." Han Jin said in a low voice.

  "I don't need it, you keep it to protect yourself." Lei Zhe hastily shook his head: "I have stealth skills anyway."

  "I've thought it through." Han Jin said in a low voice, "After you activate Stealth. If you want to kill a high-ranking profession at all costs. Shouldn't there be a great chance?"

  Lei Zhe hesitated for a moment: "You mean... to exchange a high-ranking profession's life for a single magical scroll?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "As long as it's not a 9th rank expert, I have 100% confidence."

  "What about those ten strong men?" Mo Xinko came again with a provocative tone.

  "That's good." Han Jin ignored Mo Xinkou: "At the critical moment, we can strike down the enemy's commander with one blow. This way, our chances will be much greater."

  "So that's my role. Is it to attract everyone's attacks? Well, I have two lives anyway!" Mo Xing'er chuckled: "I wonder if it will hurt..."

  "That's it," said Xanthe. "There is only one bed inside, Raphael. You go rest. Then I'll let Michel and Little Joseph go out to gather some information. And then we'll decide what to do tomorrow."

  "Why don't we try it tonight?" Mo Xinkai said.

  "I think the guard will be even stricter at night." Xanier shook her head and said, "Besides, there are almost no pedestrians at night. Just us few. What if we get discovered? We can't even run away."

  "Uh-huh. We can only move during the day." Han Jin agreed with Xian Ni Er's opinion: "I'm a bit tired. The rest of you, arrange the remaining matters yourselves."

  Soothed the wailing Stillberg. Han Jin hid inside and treated his own injuries with symbols. In theory, after using the Divine Fist Technique, his body should have become extremely resilient. The rumors of being immune to swords and guns were not unfounded. However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face. With his current energy, he was still far from being able to contend with high-ranking professionals.

  One by one, the symbols were applied. The wound was slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, Han Jin slowly closed his eyes and cast a Rejuvenating Spirit Spell on himself, slowly adjusting his breathing.

  When the dark sky shrouded the western city, Han Jin just walked out of the room inside. He saw Xian Ni Er and others sitting together in a circle, their faces all looked very strange.

  Relying on intuition, Han Jin knew something was amiss and hastily asked: "What's wrong?"

  "Raphael, do you know why the whole city is on high alert today?" Xanthe asked with a bitter smile.

  "Isn't it..."

  "Do you think it's because of that little thief's disappearance? Do you think a dwarf master blacksmith has such great courage?" Xanier's bitter smile grew thicker.

  "I was suspicious at the time," said Mo Xinko. "What kind of thing is Villar?"

  "Why didn't you say so at the time?" Lei Zhe retorted.

  "I... I just feel something is wrong. But I don't know what's wrong either!"

  "What's going on?"

  "Last night, Desmarque sent his most trusted general, Gerald, to negotiate with Winston, the lord of Western City. However, he was ambushed by a group of dark elves and killed on the spot!"

  Han Jin was taken aback for a moment. He also couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile: "So to say... were we too impulsive?"

  "It's too late for that," Xanthe sighed. "You and Mo Sheng are already on the wanted list."

  "I was suspicious at the time. Does Villar have such a big skill?" Mo Xinkuo was still muttering to himself.

  "What else can you say? If it wasn't for your insistence on going to the bar for a drink, we wouldn't have been discovered by Villar!" Xanier said angrily.

  "Hey...... how can it all be my fault? Didn't you guys drink too?"

  "Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this." Han Jin paused for a moment: "Xian Ni Er, that is to say... In order to give Disemark an explanation, the lord of the Western City will definitely try every means to find those dark elves. This means we are also in danger. Right?"

  "They can catch us. It's also a kind of consolation, especially for you. It is said that Lord Disemark personally ordered to capture you alive!" Xanier sighed again: "Raphael, tell us honestly, what did you do during the time you left us?"

  "Haven't done anything." Han Jin furrowed his brow and thought for a moment: "Right. Do you still remember that hostage?"

  "I remember."

  "I'll kill him when I leave." Han Jin suddenly remembered something: "That guy's name is Mario."

  " Mario? No impression." Xian Niel stared at Han Jin: "Then what? You disappeared for so long. Only killed one Mario?"

  "Do you remember that merchant? Leopold. I killed them all."

  "Them? You mean the whole caravan?"

  "Y...," Xian Ni'er said with a bitter smile: "But this is also not enough to make Disemark furious. Is there anything else?"

  Han Jin blinked his eyes: "There's also General Quincy. He got me trapped in the underground city. If the people of Sacred Crown City can't find him, he won't be able to go back. Now the underground city is occupied by Zaganed... anyway, I think he's probably dead."

  "I do know Quincy, though." Xanthe had a lot of intel on Holy Crown City. After all, they used to be allies: "His abilities are quite limited. But he has a good sister. Heh... his sister is Desmark's mistress. So Quincy rose through the ranks quickly. Now he's deeply trusted by Desmark. Are you sure you've got Quincy cornered?"

  "Alright." Han Jin nodded and said, "I've cleared all the traces they left behind. That underground city is full of forks in the road, dense like a spider web. It's very hard for others to find them. Even if they can jump over the valley, it's still hard to find their way back."

  "That's right." Xanthe understood: "Quincy's sister is a favorite of Desmark. If his sister begs Desmark... then Desmark will have enough reason to deal with you."

  Xian Ni'er always mentions Quince's sister. Don't know why. It makes Han Jin involuntarily think of the woman in the underground castle: "This... I also killed a woman in the underground castle."

  "Why kill a woman? Are you...?" Mo Xinke's expression was very complex.

  "Get out!" Han Jin was both angry and amused: "She almost killed me! I told you guys before. I've been killed by a female thief once. It's exactly her!"

  "What? A female thief?" Xanthe's face suddenly turned deathly pale. "What's wrong?"

  "It won't be that coincidental! It won't be that coincidental!" Xian Ni muttered to herself, completely ignoring Han Jin's question.

  "Xian Ni Er? What's wrong with you?" Mo Xin Ke asked in surprise.

  "Raphael, tell us what she looks like," Xanthe urged.

  "She looks like she's around 28 or 29 years old. Very beautiful. Very charming." Han Jin said as he recalled, "Her stealth skills are amazing. I didn't notice anything until her dagger was about to stab my body. I barely reacted in time. I almost got killed! But...she seems really clumsy too. Dumb and silly. The second time she snuck up on me, I also took action. I thought she would easily dodge my attack, but who knew it would hit her right away? It feels really weird. I was already prepared to run away."

  "You're talking about a thief who has never fought with anyone before," said Leizhe with a smile.

  "Ugh..." Xian Ni'er suddenly covered her forehead with her hand and let out a pained moan.

  It wasn't until now that Xanthe finally understood why Disemark valued Han Jin so much. But she didn't know that in a place more than 20 miles away from the Western City, countless vampires were gathering together for a reason similar to the previous one.

  She couldn't know any better. Fate had already been decided. Han Jin had no other choice but to establish his own power. Otherwise, there was only one dead end.
