Chapter 16: Search for the Mysterious Man!

The next day, in Goethe Town.

Baron Godel once again came to the base of the Shadow Raider Organization. He stomped on the table and broke it into pieces, but such venting could not vent the anger in his heart.

“You Idiots!” Godel pointed at the person in the dark and scolded loudly.

“I have received intelligence that your so-called excellent assassin was beheaded in the wilderness before he even got close to the village! Do you think such a thing can assassinate Vivian? You useless things!”

In the dark, the man said in a deep voice, “Baron, you should know that there are very few assassins above tier-4, not to mention in a small town like ours. Do you think it is easy for me to raise a Zellanz?”

Baron Godel cursed, “I need results! Not you complaining to me!”

The man said in a deep voice, “Baron Godel, I will refund the deposit you paid.”

Baron Godel narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you want to back out?”

The man said coldly, “We can’t even break through the defense line of the village, let alone assassinate Vivian. I don’t want my people to die in vain. Goodbye!”

“Five times!”

Baron Godel said ferociously, “I’ll pay five times the price. I want you to do it yourself. I want the head of the mysterious man and Vivian! Dark One! You’re the strongest assassin here.”

The man stopped in his tracks.

“I need time.”

…

An ordinary tier-3 professional could easily crush a tier-2 professional. If it was not a head-on confrontation, he had a certain chance of winning. But if it was higher, he would have a hard time.

Su Han occasionally walked around the village, thinking about his current situation.

A spell that was directly constructed using the wheel of laws, whether in terms of power or casting speed, was far superior to other mages. Others cast an ordinary fireball, but if it was constructed by Su Han… Its power was at least several times that of a fireball constructed using a magic formula.

…

“Last night, we found this body in the wilderness of the village.”

A warrior from Leiluo City squatted on the ground and lifted the white cloth covering the body, speaking to Vivian and the others.

“When we found him, he was decapitated. There were many burn and freeze marks on his body. There was a penetrating wound on his chest, and his internal organs were necrotic in many places.”

He looked up at Vivian and said, “My Lord, it was the mysterious man who helped us destroy the assassins a few days ago.”

Last night, the patrolling people outside saw the burning flames with their own eyes.

The frozen flames were the standard of the mysterious man.

“He really attacked again,” a mage girl said deeply. “He could kill a tier-3 assassin. That man is not simple. I think he is at least tier-4!”

The other ranger girl’s eyes sparkled. “In any case, he is on our side. I want to see what he looks like.”

The warrior ignored the discussion of the two girls and looked at Vivian. “My Lord, what do you think of the mysterious man who helped us?”

Vivian looked back at the village and said indifferently, “He is not helping us.”

She turned around and asked, “How is the investigation of the people who attacked us going?”

“At least seven forces and families have been listed as suspects by me. Our people are investigating closely.”

“I hope you can handle this matter properly.”

“Yes!”

The people of Leiluo City who stayed in the village had been talking about the mysterious man for the past few days. Since Vivian said that, the people of Leiluo City had been visiting the village.

They suspected that the mysterious man was from the village.

Su Han was naturally the first person to be suspected because his spiritual power was too special and did not fit in with the ordinary people here.

However, they quickly dispelled their suspicions.

Everyone said that the youth named Su Han did not have any magic talent because his elemental affinity was negative.

“What a pity for such a handsome person.” The mage girl shook her head and ran to pat Su Han’s shoulder. “Don’t be sad and don’t think too hard. The gods have closed one of your doors and will definitely open a window for you.”

Su Han chuckled.

The ranger girl sighed and said, “We still haven’t found him. Maybe he has hidden it. For that kind of strange magic, his elements should be at least tier-8 and above!”

The mage girl shook her head, and her eyes were full of admiration. She said, “I think he must be a strong and experienced uncle, full of melancholy temperament.”

Su Han looked at his slender arms and legs, saying, “Maybe.”

…

After sending off the two chattering girls, Su Han closed the door and took out the spoils of war he had collected from the assassin.

Dealing with the tier-3 assassin yesterday had caused his spiritual power to be somewhat overwhelmed.

Constructing too many wheels of laws at once consumed a huge amount of spiritual power. The moment he returned home, he fell into a deep sleep.

However, the battle also increased his mental energy limit slightly.
