Chapter 20

The moment Leicester saw Nooning play, he knew he was a loser.Nuo Ning, who never liked to show up in front of the crowd, would definitely find something wrong if she disrupted the performance on stage.

At that moment he could get up and leave.But he still insisted on seeing Nuo Ning standing on the height of the ruins, which combined his displeasure slightly.He followed the cheering crowd and left the venue after the entire show.

He walked on the road in neither a good mood nor a bad mood.At least for a while.

In the middle of the journey, he had already passed through several teleportation points and came to the outskirts of the city far away from the imperial city.As soon as he left the venue, he noticed a man with orange hair walking behind him like no one else.If it was a thief, it would be too outrageous, he thought it was just going the same way, so he ignored it.

But when he arrived at the outskirts of the imperial city, he was sure that the man was plotting something wrong.Who can go on the same road with the demon king, and walk into the palace of the demon clan as soon as he walks.

He deliberately walked to a deserted place, stood still and turned around.The orange-haired man also froze, staring at him face to face.He looked at the man's calm demeanor and snorted coldly. This man was either a superb artist or a rookie.

He asked, "Are you following me?"

"Yes." The orange-haired man nodded seriously, took out a wallet from his pocket, and jokingly said with a smile: "I followed a water fish and stole a wallet a month ago, thinking about taking the money and returning the documents. Just give it to him, there is a way to steal it. If I didn’t want to open it, I found it was all cash, and I didn’t even have an ID card, which made it difficult for me.”

"Tell me, where can I find a person with no name, no name and no address to return his wallet?"

The success of the man's provocation ignited Lester's anger.It was obvious that he had lost the wallet at a glance, and that wallet opened the prelude to this series of events.If it wasn't for the lost wallet, he would have saved a lot of trouble later on.

Now he doesn't know the man's motives, and it's the first time he's seen him be so rampant as a thief.He tried to knock out the man's intention: "You are going to return the wallet to me now, huh?"

"It was originally planned." The man nodded slightly, and changed into a pitiful expression in the next second: "But I have been looking for you for a month, and all the money I got was spent on horses and horses. I plan to sell my valuable wallet to make up for my feeble mind."

"If you want to tell me this, you can go."

He stopped listening to his nonsense, turned around and planned to move on.Suddenly a breeze blew beside him, and the man behind him came in front of him with extremely fast movements, with a ghostly smile on the corner of his mouth.

This time he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.The man's posture clearly told him that the person he met today was not an ordinary person.He doesn't want to cause trouble in the human world, but if someone provokes him, he will kill him.

The man frowned and said, "I haven't finished my sentence yet, so why go so fast?"

"Say."

After getting the impatient and cold permission, the man said happily: "I thought about it later, and I think this is not very kind. Why don't you tell me your name and address, and let's be friends?"

"I've never been friends with thieves."

"What if I have to?"

"You can try."

"You are so ruthless."

The man's eyes reflected an icy light, no longer the words he just laughed at, and an unavoidable killing intent lingered all over his body.The man sighed inaudibly: "It's a pity that I like to try."

After the speech, the sword edge has come out.

The dagger, as light as a bird's feather, slashed towards Lester's neck like a phantom. Lester bent back, and the dagger lightly slashed against the tip of his nose. This move was not powerful, but just a test.The knife didn't touch his flesh, but the sharp edge of the knife cut off some of the black hair on his forehead.In the blink of an eye, he swayed to the side and stood up, raised his sword and slashed at the man.

The man took a step back, turned and slid sideways, and disappeared from the phantom in the blink of an eye.

He held the sword back and struck back, and the sword body vibrated with a "clang", and the man's short knife hit his long sword head-on.He turned to face the man and said with a sneer, "Do you really like sneaking up on people behind their backs?"

"I really like stabbing people in the back. But how can it be called a sneak attack if I'm discovered?"

At this time, he saw clearly the short knife in the man's hand. It had a strange shape. The blade was unevenly divided into several layers, with each layer higher than the next. The layers were connected into fine, slightly protruding jagged edges, like the feathers of a bird. What's even more weird is that the whole knife is red from the handle to the blade, and the vermilion and red are scattered and thickly applied.

The man attacked him again with a knife, slashing up and down, each knife was mixed with arrogant arrogance and aimed at his vitals.Due to the fact that he is in the territory of the human world, he doesn't make much noise, only defending but not attacking, and he is at a disadvantage for a while.The man saw his intention, and the dagger accelerated his attack.He defended hard, glancing around now and then to see when he could find a chance to get away.

"You underestimate the enemy."

As soon as the man drank, a similar dagger was raised from the man's left hand, and both knives went straight to Lester's heart.He had no choice but to release a huge pressure, which abruptly shook the man away.The battle was not over yet, where the man's blade passed, crimson fire feathers ignited from the sky, and attacked Leicester again with lightning speed.

Lester no longer hides, a black air pressure emerges from the tip of the sword, forming a black bottomless cave in all directions, directly absorbing the fire feathers into it.The black hole disappeared, the fire plume was completely extinguished, and the remaining sparks swirled around him for a while before falling into the ground to end this life.

"Phoenix Tail Feather." He was not sure at first, but this move allowed him to directly identify the name of the weapon and who the bohemian man opposite was.He heard that the weapon was locked in the real treasury of Nightwalker. In the previous generations, one failed to find a suitable owner, and it was not handed over to his independent walker until Nuoning took office.

Now that he knew his identity, he laughed and said, "I didn't know that Ye Xing was so poor, and independent travelers were needed to come to supplement the family income. Or, Mr. Adair, you have a problem with your character?"

Adair's character is problematic and everyone knows it.Adair himself did not deny that he was originally a top killer and thief, but by chance, he joined Night Walk because of his lust for beauty.But after hearing what he said, Adair felt a little offended, and argued: "Sir, I was joking. I saw a thief steal your wallet more than a month ago, and I wanted to return it to you, but you came and went without a trace." , so I didn’t become Lei Feng, I met you on the road just after the performance today, so I came after you specially.”

"Are you here to return the wallet?" Lester smiled irrefutably, stepped on the scorched ground and asked, "You didn't come here to kill me?"

"Of course not." Adair squinted his eyes, making it hard to tell how much credibility there was in his words: "If I want to kill someone, I won't do it with him openly."

"How to say?"

Adair continued: "I want to kill a person, I will let him die peacefully, willingly hold the poison and die as honey. And I really happened to meet you today to return the wallet. Huh?" He said He paused for a moment, and said with disbelief, "It doesn't seem very credible to say this."

"Then, the real situation is that I believe you are very strong. I wanted to tell you that when we met last time, but unfortunately I have never been able to find you." Adair bent down and bowed to him, extending his hand to invite: "Are you willing to join the night walk?"

"Ah."

Lester hid his smile, the situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined.It seemed that Adair really wanted to attract people for the night walk. Judging from the situation and his tone, Adair had only seen him twice.According to the information, Adair likes to use the personnel and affairs that others care about to achieve his own goals.So when he met with Vichy, Adair was not there, otherwise he might move out of Vichy to threaten and lure him.

Leicester's idea is also in the arms of Adair.As soon as he fought Lester, he knew that he must be intimidating. If he couldn't kill him, he had to hold him steady. He couldn't let his dear little fruit get involved with Lester and his night walk, so he had to make up a story that he only saw Lester. ster twice.

And very real but false invitations.

The three factions of the Senate, which are active day and night, ebb and flow one after the other, each wishing to win over as many talented people as possible.So his invitation is very reasonable.

Leicester responded: "What if my answer is no?"

"I can't help it." He shrugged helplessly, "I can't wake up the neighbors and beat you hard, and I can't drag you back to the night walk. Even if I succeed, the chairman will say that I don't respect the magi, let alone fail. I can't hold back my face even more." At the end of the speech, he said in a rather resentful and cursing tone.

Lester chuckled. It was rumored that Adair liked the president of Night Walk to the point of obsession. No matter what the task was, Adair would always complete it perfectly.He said: "Aren't you worried that if your task of persuading me fails, the president will also reprimand you?"

"Don't worry." Adair smiled even more when he saw that he was hooked, "I never express my failure in front of the president. Most of the world's experts are not in the record file of the night walk."

What Adair meant was that he originally planned to report to Yexing after successfully recruiting Leicester. If it failed, the president would not blame him if he didn't know.

It's a good move, good news and bad news.

"I don't want to." Lester, who roughly sorted out the ins and outs of the situation, didn't want to stay longer, and then he answered directly and wanted to go: "Can I go?"

Adair smiled brightly, but said cold words: "Don't let me meet you again in the imperial city. Whether it's in the Senate or in the day, I don't want to see you again."

ha.Is this warning him that since he wants to be an expert outside the world, don't go to the Senate and Rixing to get confused.Lester snorted coldly and left the outer suburbs of the imperial city.
