The second day, the battle in the suburbs last night didn’t attract much attention from the public, probably because the magic organization quickly cleaned it up. But this also ant that many mages have already learned of Luca’s identity as a Contractor.
In a small alley on a street in Misty City.
"Hmm, it’s tasty, but a bit too spicy." Luca took a bite of the hot dog in front of him, smacking his lips and said, "Do you guys also make these things in the Heroic Spirit Hall?"
At this mont, there was no trace of his mage deanor, and he had replaced his precious magic robes with ordinary clothes.
His beard was shaved off, and so [Mimicry Clay] was applied to make his face look rounder and more plump.
In simpler terms, he looked greasier.
"Go ahead and curse !" Luca glared. "Isn’t it you who wrapped it on ?"
"Relax, Luca. This is a necessary sacrifice." Li Changhe glanced at him and said, "Do you really expect to go out with your own face? Rember, that Assassin Rank guy already knows what you look like."
Luca had nothing to say. Indeed, his identity as a Contractor had been detected. Being discovered would lead to a bad outco.
Disguise was necessary, greasy or fat. It couldn’t be worse than being exposed.
But seeing his summoned Heroic Spirit standing refreshed next to him, Luca felt a bit unbalanced.
"I’ll find an opportunity to use ’Mark of the King’ to make you gain fifty pounds, and see if you dare to mock !" Luca thought, then raised the hot dog in his hand and asked, "So you asked to prepare these tools just to set up a street stall? Didn’t you say we should stay low first?"
"The plan has changed, I need to find an opportunity to contact other Heroic Spirits." Li Changhe replied, "As for this disguise, rest assured. As long as you follow the steps I taught you, you won’t be discovered."
The world was not much different from the Real World, with street vendors and stalls on the streets.
As long as the two didn’t make any abnormal actions, it would be difficult for them to be noticed.
After learning about the strange behavior of previous champions last night, Li Changhe felt it was necessary to get in touch with the people of the Carn Family, preferably in a safe situation with their Knight Rank Heroic Spirit.
After all, their family had been the victors of the previous Seven Kings War.
A key inconsistency was the lack of useful information from Chen Guang when he asked Luo Kai to mail the [Seven Kings Chess Piece]. He only cautioned that it was very dangerous and to think carefully.
If it was just about fighting tasks, there would be nothing to say. Seven factions, leaderboard rankings, and entry ti differences, as well as the requirents for the titles ’Deathmatch Killing God’ and ’Killing Maniac’.
This was indeed a dangerous but otherwise unremarkable task.
After all, once you’ve entered, you could find out all the information you needed. All that remained was trying hard to survive and gain the advantage.
But the strange behavior of Chen Guang and other forr champion kings gave Li Changhe a sense of mystery.
They seed to have discovered so danger or truth just as the task was about to be completed. So chose to retreat, so chose to be vigilant, and so chose to attack.
As for Chen Guang, he directly targeted the ’King’, as if suggesting that everything was related to the King.
However, they seed to have so sort of scruples, and didn’t reveal any obvious clues.
This was not normal. Chen Guang, despite being a bit vile, would never harm Li Changhe.
Why not just say it outright then? Was he really playing a riddle? Or couldn’t he say it?
The so-called, unspeakable thing?
This would have to be determined after contacting the Knight Rank Heroic Spirit since he was the only accessible [Player] for Li Changhe.
"If the opponent still wants to take action, then we can only follow the original confrontation strategy. This is just a choice." Li Changhe thought as he didn’t stop his hands, quickly wrapping the hot dog in lettuce, putting it in a slice of bread, and sprinkling chili sauce. In one smooth motion, it looked as if an experienced mage was casting a spell.
Luca couldn’t help but stare, wondering if this Archer was actually a street vendor in the Heroic Spirit Hall. Did Heroic Spirits also need to work?
Noticing the look on Luca’s face, Li Changhe responded with a smile, "It’s always good to have multiple skills. To be a bit more boastful, if the Seven Kings War was a competition of working skills, I could let the other six use one hand. You should learn sothing too. If you lose in the Seven Kings War, working would alleviate much of your debt. I’ve looked into the prices here, and I think you could pay off your debts in five years."
This...didn’t seem like a bluff.
If there really was such a task, Li Changhe would be unstoppable. The title of Working Emperor wasn’t just for show!
Luca felt annoyed. "In the records, Heroic Spirits and Contractors have good relationships with each other, like teachers and friends. So teach novel magic techniques, and so pass on their unyielding will... How co when it cos to you, you’re making work?"
Then, Luca’s expression shifted slightly, and he whispered with his head slightly lowered, "Two o’clock direction, the middle-aged man in the black suit is an employee of Carn Heavy Industries. I recognize him; he’s an ordinary person."
"Good, we’ll go with him." Li Changhe replied quietly.
Looking at the man in a suit about ten ters away walking on the opposite sidewalk, Li Changhe’s heart moved, and the [Hawkeye Demon Eyes] activated. A black hawk stealthily flew out of the alley.
The hawk’s claws clutched a letter, after circling silently in the sky, it swooped towards the man in the suit.
Although Li Changhe planned to approach the Knight Rank Heroic Spirit, he wouldn’t dare to recklessly show up and inquire. That would be simply foolish.
Don’t think that Li Changhe’s status as a Heroic Spirit was an advantage in this storyline world where the Extraordinary system had already reached a certain level of stability.
In the records of previous Seven Kings Wars, there were also those Contractors who could overpower Heroic Spirits.
Fortunately, the rules of the Seven Kings War prevented outsiders from excessively interfering. Otherwise, with Carn Heavy Industries’ large numbers, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
If there were [Players] who relied on their strength and acted recklessly in the storyline world, the outco would be troubling.
There were [Players] who had clashed with various martial heroes in martial arts scenarios and erged unscathed.
But after showing off, they encountered a trap-filled tavern and t their end...
Such a wrongful death.
In order not to fall into the hands of storyline characters, Li Changhe didn’t even get close to Carn Heavy Industries’ three-kiloter radius. Instead, he chose to contact the mbers of Carn Heavy Industries from outside by sending letters, disguised as a street vendor hidden in the crowd.
On the other side, the man in the suit panicked as he dodged the black hawk, and passers-by stopped to watch. It seed that people from any world loved to watch the spectacle.
"Since they already know you’re a Contractor, they will surely pay attention to your letters," Li Changhe also pretended to watch the excitent and whispered to Luca beside him, "Next, all we have to do is wait for their response and tonight’s Heroic Spirit Summoning. If soone still doesn’t know their place today, I’ll show you what an Archer can do."
