…
“It’s a bit troublesome…”
Looking at that group of graceful and mature female wolves.
Roger instinctively felt something was wrong.
The little wolves under his command are all young and hot-blooded.
How could they be a match for these ferocious female wolves?
Delay a little longer.
Maybe someone will find out all about your financial situation!
Now.
Roger quickly used his power of killing to warn the wolf cubs to be careful and keep their distance.
on the other hand.
He decided to attack from a roundabout way.
That is, use your beauty to solve the problem!
Since it has been confirmed that Sofia's gender is female.
Then Roger believes that there is no enemy that cannot be defeated by "heroism + charisma and authority"!
Under the moonlight.
Roger straightened his back wordlessly.
But the next second.
A cold voice came to his ears:
"Stop being so coquettish, Mr. Roger. It's not decent for your status..."
"in addition."
"I am completely immune to the glamour field."
A hint of pride flashed in Sophia's eyes:
"No man can seduce me!"
Roger tried it and found that it didn't work.
I can only accept the result with regret.
And from beginning to end.
Sophia, who had regained the initiative, remained calm and composed.
This made Roger somewhat unhappy.
The two sides remained deadlocked for a while.
Sophia took the initiative to speak:
"My words still stand. If you really need a zeroing knife, I can rent it to you."
"Only if you do me a favor."
"Tonight, I am going to assassinate a middle-level god from the Star God Clan. As long as you help me complete this task, I will lend you the Zero Blade after the task is completed - for a period of ten days."
"Trust me, this will be a fair deal."
On top of the stone.
Sophia talked freely.
It seems like victory is already in hand.
Roger didn't react.
She was just about to elaborate.
Who knows what will happen in the next second.
Roger under the stone actually turned around and ran!
His speed is unmatched.
In the blink of an eye, it was about to disappear from Sophia's sight!
The girl was shocked.
He hurriedly chased after him at lightning speed.
The chase between the two top wanderers was destined to be silent and fierce.
Just 3 minutes later.
Roger stopped at a high point on a ridge.
Twenty seconds later.
Sophia just managed to get close to him.
She stood low and raised her head.
Her chest rose and fell violently due to her rapid breathing.
The moonlight shone on her blurry profile.
At least it revealed a piece of white.
"you……"
Sophia's voice was very difficult:
"What are you doing?"
She actually already knew the answer.
But before it is confirmed.
Sophia still had a glimmer of hope.
But the next moment.
Her luck was ruthlessly shattered.
But Roger said:
"I can run faster than you."
Sophia didn't object.
She knew it was true.
Even though they are all powerful and agile people.
But the pervert in front of her was indeed far superior to her in the sprinting event.
…
"Since you can't catch up with me, I can go directly to the Star God Clan to sell information."
Roger continued without taking a breath:
"The news about the ancient ice dragon plus the information about tonight's assassination..."
"Perhaps it is indeed worth more than a zeroing knife, isn't it?"
This wave of calm narration made Sophia's heart sink to the lowest point.
She never expected that the man in front of her could remain so lucid after she quietly took back the initiative in the conversation!
That's right.
The person who needs to be traded and negotiated right now is not Roger.
It's Sophia!
Roger not only held the Hundred Battles Sword in his hand.
He still holds the lifeline of the God Clan's plan!
"How could I be so stupid?!"
Sophia thought in annoyance:
"I actually told him about tonight's operation in advance. This is equivalent to handing over the bargaining chip to him!"
Her emotions were somewhat out of control.
She folded her hands over her head.
He squatted on the ground helplessly.
However, this scene only lasted three to five seconds.
In the blink of an eye.
Sophia suddenly woke up from her regret.
Then she closed her eyes.
The authority of perception has been activated!
"Despicable villain!"
"Don't look at me with those evil eyes of yours!"
Sophia yelled in Roger's direction in frustration.
Roger shrugged.
on the data bar.
…
"Warning: Sophia has noticed your 'dementia gaze'!"
…
"You stopped harassing Sophia..."
…
What a tricky guy.
The game ends here.
Roger couldn't help but admire this rich young woman with a strong personality.
Her sensitivity and reaction are both first-class and excellent.
As for his fighting talent, it is beyond doubt.
With a little polish, you will definitely become the top hunter.
It is highly likely that you will ascend to an immortal monument in the future.
Even gods are possible!
"The Celestial God Clan is indeed full of talented people..."
Roger secretly envied the super talents of this race.
On the surface.
He said calmly:
"As I said before, the initiative is in my hands now. The reason I am standing here to negotiate with you is just to show my sincerity in the transaction."
"You shouldn't ask for too much."
"I only have one question now: the trade of the Hundred Battles Sword for the Zero Sword. Do you want to do it? Or, don't you want to do it?"
Sophia crouched on the ground with her fists clenched.
Her body was tense.
Like a frightened black cat.
The black tights highlighted her sizable bust.
This makes her whole body appear more visually explosive and impactful.
Roger squinted at her with seemingly ease.
In fact, my vigilance has been fully raised.
If Sophia makes any aggressive move.
Then Roger would leave without hesitation.
He had no intention of falling out with the gods tonight.
The zeroing knife is good.
But as long as Sophia is still in his sight.
Then there will always be opportunities in the future.
…
"Do!"
When the words that meant deal came out from between Sophia's teeth.
Her tense body suddenly relaxed.
"Ten-step rule, understand?"
Sophia asked.
Roger nodded.
This is the unwritten rule when exchanging items between top wanderers.
Both parties will place their trading items at a distance of ten steps.
Then walk towards each other face to face.
Then get the item.
The deal is done.
Within these ten steps.
No one can guarantee your safety.
Only your own reactions and strength can save your life.
But top rogues are all extremely conceited.
The distance of ten steps is also enough space for them to react.
That's why there is this rule to conduct proper trading.
After the two made an agreement.
Then they moved closer to each other.
Wait until they are only ten steps away.
Roger took the lead and inserted the Hundred Battles Blade into his heel.
Sophia also reluctantly placed the zeroing knife in the same place.
Immediately following.
The two sides walked towards each other.
Under the moonlight.
Both of them had their faces covered.
Their eyes crossed.
The same is true for the shoulders.
Next second.
The two of them appeared in each other's original position.
"You managed to hold back from attacking me?"
Roger grabbed the zeroing knife with some surprise.
In an instant.
The zeroing knife turned into a vicious poisonous snake.
Bit Roger's hand hard!
Bang!
There were no bite marks on the back of Roger's hand.
The venomous snake's teeth were successfully broken off.
…
The other side.
Sophia grabbed the Hundred Battles Sword with joy.
But the next second.
The joy in her eyes turned into astonishment.
The dust that symbolizes "camouflage" fades away.
The Hundred Battles Sword in her hand suddenly turned into a weathered thigh bone!
Moreover, these were bones of the lowest quality that had been exploited by undead magic countless times and whose potential had been overdrawn by 1000%!
"you……"
She turned around and instinctively wanted to accuse.
But we saw Roger throwing the poisonous snake away as if nothing had happened.
"It seems that none of us have any sincerity."
Roger smiled lightly:
"So."
"It's time to say goodbye!"
His figure began to fade.
Sophia shouted quickly:
"etc!"
"I can give you a real zeroing knife... but you can't control it at all!"
Roger looked at her coldly:
"Continue editing?"
Sophia said anxiously:
"I'm not bluffing you!"
"The Zero Blade is a semi-artifact forged by me personally, but it is still only a semi-finished product!"
"Please believe me..."
"If you need it, I can really lend you the zeroing knife, but not for too long!"
"Because the Zero Blade and the Hundred Battles Blade are a pair, the condition for their use is that both blades are used at the same time!"
"Also, these are semi-divine weapons polished by my personality, so only my personality or my divine blood can drive these two weapons. It will be useless even if you take them away. If you don't believe me, try it!"
This time.
There was an air of urgency in her voice.
Roger savored it.
It turned out that Sophia was not lying.
There is indeed a very subtle connection between the Hundred Battles Sword and the Zeroing Sword.
What's more.
Both knives were pointed directly deep into Sofia's body.
That place.
I'm afraid it's her status.
…
"Mr. Demon Exorcist, I don't think you are an unreasonable person."
Sophia saw that Roger was silent.
The tone gradually softened:
"These two knives are part of my body. To be honest, I can't allow anyone to take any of them away. My determination to defend them is just like defending my own body and life!"
“There is no doubt about that.”
"But if you really need this weapon, we can discuss a short-term lease in the form of a contract. The premise is, as I have already said, that is, to help me complete the mission tonight."
Roger hummed a few times without commenting.
To be honest.
Sophia's reasons did not impress him.
But the part about the other party being "unreasonable" really made Roger feel ashamed.
Recalling what happened after I encountered the Zero Knife.
It seems that there is indeed a bit of unscrupulousness.
Although the gods are not a good group.
But Roger felt that his eating manners were too ugly.
Instead of this.
It would be better to just kill Sophia directly.
But it seems now.
This option can also be excluded.
Divination and perception display.
The two knives were exactly as Sophia described.
It's a pair of semi-finished products.
Sophia is dead.
These two knives will also lose most of their spirituality.
The special effects that Roger liked might not be preserved.
"Semi-divine artifacts with spiritual power are troublesome. Even the spiritual finger is useless!"
Roger thought a little depressed.
But he was more concerned about the "contract" mentioned by Sophia.
So he couldn't help asking:
"What contract can bind you and me?"
"I don't want to be bitten by a poisonous snake next time I fulfill my contract."
Sophia coughed twice in embarrassment.
Then he said quickly:
…
“Ancient Contract.
It was a standard and fair contract based on the ancient giant Zan, the guardian of this continent.
As long as you remain on this continent and violate the terms of the contract.
Then you will be punished by the will of the ancient giant.
Throughout history, many top warriors have died mysteriously after violating ancient contracts.
This is a very effective way of contracting.
But the deed method is a bit expensive.
So explain it in advance.
The deed costs must be borne by us all!"
…
Hear this.
Roger asked instinctively:
"The cost? How much?"
Sophia calculated with her fingers:
"At least more than one million copper requisitions."
Roger was shocked.
What contract is so expensive?
Could it be that this ancient giant was just trying to get free food and drinks?
Or maybe.
Was this simply something Sophia made up?
But the next moment.
The information "Historical Knowledge (Ancient Contract)" that flashed across the data bar dispelled Roger's doubts.
What Sophia said was true.
The Ancient Contract is a contract recognized as valid by all creatures on this continent except the totem gods.
The deed method is also very easy to authenticate.
If Sophia wants to play tricks in this regard.
Then she will definitely suffer.
Roger thought for a moment.
Suddenly asked:
"What if I leave the Ancient Continent?"
Sophia said calmly:
"No one can tease the ancient will."
"At least not that I know of."
"So don't think about taking advantage of loopholes."
Roger nodded noncommittally.
Looking at Sofia in front of him.
He scratched his head.
There was no better way for a while.
Sophia's determination to protect the weapon is obvious.
Roger had almost exhausted all his means——
…
Spoiling by trickery?
fail!
Charismatic authority?
fail!
Dementia stare?
fail!
Bluff trade?
fail!
…
It's not impossible if you insist.
After all, Roger believes that his fighting power is slightly higher than Sophia's.
But that would just depend on luck.
The Gambling Zero Knife can still retain such a domineering special effect after leaving its owner——
The probability of this happening is very low.
In summary.
If Roger really wanted the special effects of the zero knife.
It seems that the only option is to rent.
certainly.
There is a lot to learn about leasing.
Especially when it comes to things like contracts.
Roger, who deals with the devil all day long, is well versed in this.
Now.
Roger calmly discussed the details of the lease with Sophia.
Roger stepped down.
Sophia naturally gave a warm welcome over there.
So.
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly seemed to turn into a feeling of regret for not meeting each other earlier.
The two of them discussed the matter in a friendly manner for a while.
It was not difficult to reach a consensus!
Very quickly.
The agreement between the two parties was released immediately.
Its important contents are as follows:
…
"1. Roger must assist Sofia in completing the assassination mission tonight.
The target of the assassination is the servant of Olmerdo, one of the three main gods of the Star God Clan.
Stone Angel Aziz
…
"2. Roger will return the Hundred Battle Sword after the mission is completed."
…
"3. Roger will be given the right to rent the Hundred Battles Sword and the Zero Sword for a total of 30 days.
The leasing methods are flexible and varied.
Can be zero or whole.
Lease at any time.
But if Sofia is in a battle moment.
Then she has the right to refuse the rental request."
…
“4. …”
…
…
"99. To show his sincerity, Roger is willing to pay all the contract fees..."
…
"Huh?"
"Are you willing to pay the full amount?"
"Are you rich?"
Sophia looked at Roger in surprise.
…
