Chapter 3810

~14 min read 2,733 words

The train sped along the steel rails of the wilderness. Under the torrential downpour, this train, like a steel beast, broke through the rain curtain and sped along at an extremely fast speed.

Inside the first-class carriage, Su Xiao was meditating on a small bed. The reason for taking this train, which takes at least half a day to reach the Ancient King City, is that all the teleportation towers of the Ancient King City are locked down and have been set up with layers of spatial seals.

Su Xiao's "Law-Breaking Teleportation Array" could naturally break through these seals, but this trip to the Ancient King City is not to clash with the powerful figures there, but to deal with an unknown Original Sin Object.

Su Xiao and the others first arrived at "Star Fall City" via the teleportation array. Although this is not one of the three main cities, Star Fall City has an extremely special status among the many large cities. This prosperous large city has specifications comparable to a main city; in fact, compared to Sky City, which only has 15 districts, Star Fall City, with 35 districts, is twice as large.

For a long time, the powerful figures of the Ancient King City have been paying lip service to the wizard faction, appearing to have submitted long ago, but actually harboring their own thoughts.

With the Ancient King City as the boundary, the area further south of the Wizard Continent is a large area of swamp and wetlands, named the Great Swamp Wetlands, which is why the Ancient King City was originally named "Swamp Light City."

On these Great Swamp Wetlands, there are multiple tribes. These tribes are indeed backward in terms of technology, but their transcendence and biology are advanced. This is no longer a matter of the technology tree being skewed, but rather not having touched the technology side at all.

If it were just that, it would be nothing, but what these tribes inherit are the first-generation wizard secret arts. Are the older the inheritances, the stronger they are? Not necessarily. What is truly terrifying about first-generation wizard secret arts is the probability of malignant mutation.

The probability of malignant mutation in the ancient wizard system reaches over 80%. What is even more fascinating is that while the wizards of the current era are indeed much stronger than these ancient wizards among the same rank, the abilities of the ancient wizards have a polluting nature with malignant characteristics.

Even if the wizards of the wizard faction win against these ancient wizards in a life-and-death battle, it won't be long before this wizard undergoes a malignant mutation.

The transcendents of Su Xiao's power system do not need to worry about this point. Moreover, Su Xiao City is not far from the "Great Swamp Wetlands," which can be called the most effective defensive means for the edge area of the wizard territory. But conversely, these powerful figures of the Su Xiao faction are also hidden dangers.

The wizard faction naturally would not leave these hidden dangers alone. They thought of incorporating Su Xiao City under their control and gradually annexing it. However, because of the location of Su Xiao City, this main city became increasingly chaotic, eventually producing a survival rule unique to Su Xiao City. The annexation plan of the wizard faction naturally fell through, and the Wizard Guild located in Tanghui City also became increasingly weak.

Star Fall City, located between Moon Ring City and Su Xiao City, is naturally particularly important. Or rather, this is a large city prepared to replace Su Xiao City as a main city. It is worth mentioning that the "Golden Arena," notarized by the Tree of Void, is in this large city. It is just that it is not opened for a long time, but in the near future, the "Golden Arena" is about to open.

The scenery outside the train window flew by. Su Xiao, who was meditating, opened his eyes and saw Serin, with her short silver hair tied up, revealing a large area of fair neck, looking at the natural scenery flying by outside the window. With that leisurely expression, plus the blessing of her fair skin and beauty, this guy who usually looks a bit neurotic actually has a bit of a fresh and refined temperament at this moment.

Seeing Su Xiao cast his gaze over, a smile appeared on Serin's face. This smile, although it had no effect on her appearance, instantly wiped out that fresh and refined temperament from just a moment ago.

"Mr. Bai Ye, you are a Law Breaker. You must know more about the deeds of the previous generation of Law Breakers, right?"

As Serin spoke, the light in her eyes seemed to brighten a bit.

Su Xiao already knew what Serin wanted to ask. He took out a diary. This is 【Gillian's Notes】. As for whether the person involved is willing to let others see this diary, Su Xiao can be certain that the other party is willing. Or rather, that previous generation female Law Breaker wrote this diary actually wanting others to see it.

Last time Su Xiao took out this diary, the other party had no intention of taking it back at all, but instead asked him if he had shown this diary to anyone else. After receiving a negative answer, in the conversation, the other party was somewhat disappointed.

Serin, sitting opposite, is an admirer of Gillian. If the other party knew more about the most vicious Law Breaker in history, she might turn over a new leaf. Therefore, he threw 【Gillian's Notes】 out. Seeing the notes on the table, Serin was stunned at first, then acted as if she had obtained a treasure. But after flipping through a few pages, her brows tightened. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao knew that this young witch still had hope of being saved and would not turn into a small version of Gillian.

When Serin finished reading Gillian's notes and savored them for a moment, a smile gradually appeared on her face. It seemed she admired Gillian even more.

Su Xiao continued to close his eyes and meditate, acting as if nothing had just happened.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and the assistant Alanna are not in the carriage. The reason is that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, and Alanna are temporarily staying in Star Fall City to investigate the bombing case that happened yesterday. Su Xiao suspects that this bombing case was the work of the confidant of Black Hole Azle, the Madman. To find the never-appearing Black Hole Azle, cutting off his confidant, the Madman, is the key.

The train stopped at the platform of District 55 of the Ancient King City in the afternoon. The platform was crowded with people. Because it had just rained heavily, the air in the Ancient King City was exceptionally fresh. Just like the last time he came, the Ancient King City gave people a strong sense of history. Combined with the train that is completely steam-driven and has no electrical structure, this ancient city has a unique aesthetic.

Just after leaving the train station, several figures dressed in black trench coats and wearing black leather gloves blocked the way. These people were all wearing black round hats, their black leather shoes were shiny, and they even had black numbers tattooed on their faces, from 1 to 3.

It can only be said that there are indeed many individual powerhouses in the Witch World. These three actually all have the strength of the upper-middle tier of the Absolute Strong. However, the action of the third brother slightly lifting his leg and scratching his crotch with one hand made the bright faction style created by their black clothes, black gloves, black hats, and black leather shoes instantly lose a lot of its luster.

These three coming out to welcome Cas is undoubtedly a dual means for the powerful figures of Su Xiao City to show off their strength and wealth. As for how the wealth was highlighted, these three brothers were actually hired by the powerful figures of Su Xiao City. As dignified Absolute Strongs, why were they willing to accept such a commission? This has to do with the encounter of the three killer brothers. These three are not biological brothers, but playmates who grew up together. As a result, due to an accident, they were abducted by a killer organization and trained in a cruel way.

I don't know if it was heaven's favor or if the three had a faint destiny, but these three brothers all had the aptitude of the Absolute Strong. However, the resource consumption required to advance to the Absolute Strong is not something a second-rate killer organization can afford, let alone three people advancing to the Absolute Strong. Therefore, this killer organization contacted the Light God Sect.

The Light God Sect is least lacking in resources for advancement. However, using these resources requires bearing various side effects. These were all characteristics of the Abyss that the Light God Sect found in the Abyss spreading area. One of the characteristics of Abyss invasion is the extremely abundant output of resources. After the three brothers used these resources with strong Abyss characteristics and Heart Dao characteristics, their strength indeed advanced by leaps and bounds, but they also bore many side effects because of this. Later, after using these resources many more times, the side effects borne by the three brothers finally accumulated to the level of ordinary Heart Dao, eventually erupting and causing defects at the "conceptual level." This is an absolutely irreversible side effect.

Among the three brothers, the eldest brother therefore often has headaches. Once the headache ends, everything in his eyes stops being brightened, and living beings become terrifying in appearance. Originally, some small things, such as a stray dog, in this state of the eldest brother, would turn into a world-destroying beast in his eyes.

Because of this, the eldest brother, who is particularly cold in appearance and does not laugh or speak, often becomes unusually cautious, cautious to the point of making people speechless.

And the second brother, his "conceptual defect" is poor eyesight. He is not only a problem of vision, but he is also blurry at the perception level. In terms of Heart Dao, it means he cannot distinguish between humans and animals beyond ten meters, and cannot recognize his own kin beyond five meters.

When the second brother's gaze is fixed on the distance, don't think he is contemplating life; he simply hasn't seen clearly and is struggling to see what is on the opposite side.

As for the third brother, his "conceptual defect" is relatively mild. Light matter eroded his brain, so the third brother's IQ is limited. When he is with his eldest and second brothers, it's nothing; he listens to his two brothers very well. But when acting alone, the third brother, whose brain doesn't work very well, often has his own unique ideas. For example, when accepting a commission, he directly slaughters the employer to get the reward as quickly as possible, and then he can go home to eat.

Because of this, after the Light God Sect cultivated these three, within a few months, the high-level figures of the Light God Sect notified that second-rate killer organization to hurry up and take the people away.

Regarding this, the second-rate killer organization was ecstatic, but after a few days, the number three figure of this killer organization was slaughtered by the third brother with his bare hands. The number two high-level figure who came to ask for an explanation was killed by the second brother because his eyesight was poor and he didn't see clearly, thinking it was an enemy attack, without even giving him a chance to speak.

The remaining leader of the killer organization was somewhat trembling, but he was very unwilling to accept this. So he went to the Hunter Guild and accepted a commission with extremely high difficulty, and then released it as a killer mission to the three killer brothers.

The three killer brothers went to execute it without much thought. A few days later, they reported to the leader of the killer organization that they had completed the mission. The leader of the killer organization was stunned, but also somewhat ecstatic.

Before the leader of the killer organization could go to the Hunter Guild to submit the commission, people from Su Xiao City came to the door. The reason was that their Vice City Lord had been murdered. After investigation, it was done by this killer organization. Upon learning of this, the leader of the killer organization was scared silly. Being in the Wizard World, how could he choose to assassinate a high-level figure of the wizard faction?

The leader of the killer organization would never have thought until he died that the third brother among the three killer brothers had lost the commission voucher. Afraid of being scolded, after some searching, he finally found the commission voucher. However, this was not a commission voucher at all; it was actually a flyer made by the people under the Vice City Lord because the old City Lord was about to retire, wanting to gain support to become the new City Lord of Tanghui City.

After the third brother "re-found" this commission voucher, he gave it to his second brother. As for why he didn't give it to his eldest brother, his eldest brother had recently finished having a headache.

The second brother almost put the flyer on his face before he saw clearly, "Oh~, so it was to assassinate the Vice City Lord of Su Xiao City." After the three brothers confirmed there was no problem, they launched the action.

However, this was not the most glorious moment for the three brothers. Their true glorious moment was during the Night of Moonless Assassination, when they got the target wrong again, almost causing Silver Lady to die on that night of assassination. The terrifying scars on Silver Lady's right arm were all thanks to the three killer brothers.

To put it complexly, you can trust the business ability of the three killer brothers, but you must never trust the combat power of the three after they cooperate.

However, the appearance fee of these three is relatively high, and they often face the narrow situation of not being able to receive commissions. It seems that the three killer brothers are always unwilling to admit that their business ability is not very good.

The powerful figures of Su Xiao City are obviously nouveau riche. That's why they hired the three killer brothers. They didn't want to assassinate anyone, but recently they had often suffered losses under Silver Lady, so they simply hired the three killer brothers to deter Silver Lady. And don't say, it was really effective. Since then, Silver Lady has never gone to Su Xiao City again.

It's no wonder. Silver Lady won't gamble that three reckless youths will be wary of the wizard faction's Heart Dao. These three killer brothers are an alternative among the Absolute Strong. After all, the way they became Absolute Strong level is also very ordinary.

Pedestrians on the pedestrian street were endless. The eldest of the three killer brothers led the way in front without saying a word. A moment later, the pedestrians arrived at a manor. Just after entering the mansion of the manor, a super big fatty with a big belly and a weight of at least several hundred jin was pushed out by a servant in an oversized wheelchair. This person's name is Ancient King, a great noble of Tanghui City, and a representative figure among the powerful figures.

Just after meeting, the great noble, Ancient King, gave a hearty and enthusiastic laugh. Although he was fat, he was fat in a strange way. The flesh on his body hung down in layers, looking like he was wearing a suit of hanging fat skin, and on his skin, there were faint golden tattoos, which were hard to see without careful observation.

Half an hour later, only Cas, the great noble Ancient King, and Serin remained in the study. This actually represented three parties: Cas represented himself, Serin represented the wizard faction, and the great noble Ancient King represented the powerful figures.
