Chapter 29 Unexpected

  The information of 【Devil's Blood】 appeared instantly in the information bar that only Dean could see. When he saw what was called 'devil's will', Dean furrowed his brow as if he had thought of something - he guessed why Model would be so 'brainless' towards the Duchess.

  There is no doubt that there was a failure in "Devil's Will".

  However, it was clear that this time Modell the tax official did not need to worry about such things - Dein, who had picked up the "Devil's Blood Dagger", narrowed his eyes and glinted with cold light.

  After all, what he needed was not only the 【Devil's Blood Dagger】, but also the other party's sinister life.

  Of course, with the attribute of 2.0's strongest 【Will】, far surpassing the first detection, Dean is not worried about the 'Devil's Will' for the time being, however, towards the other attributes of 【Demon Blood Dagger】, Dean is treating it very seriously.

  First of all, it's his unusual concern for 【Blood and Flesh Absorption】!

  Taking the abundant life (Knight rank) as nourishment, Dean indeed furrowed his brow at first, especially when he saw that 1% of the strongest power transformed, Dean's eyebrows were even more tightly locked together.

  However, Dean soon let go.

  If it's really possible for any life to transform, even if it's less than 1%, or even lower, with Modell's personality, it would be enough to grow into an unscrupulous person.

  After all, he is someone who absolutely doesn't care about massacres.

  "Being able to possess it is already something others can't envy!"

  The words that appeared in his heart made Dean's eyebrows relax quickly, and he looked at another attribute of the "Devil Blood Dagger": [Mild Toxin].

  It is obvious that a slight level of 'physical superiority' would guarantee such an attribute to be invincible against characters below the Knight rank.

  Similarly, when facing characters above Knight level, its effect will be negligible.

  However, Dean did not lose heart.

  To know that when facing a true Knight, he has many ways to win without relying on a dagger - what he values more is the attribute of 【Blood Absorption】.

  After all, this is the greatest help for his rapid increase in strength before.

  What about abundant life?

  In the snowy forest, he was never short of targets, whether it was a polar bear or a powerful thief.

  Wow!

  Taking a deep breath, feeling the light weight in his hand, Dean's arm swung repeatedly; instantly, the eerie red color flashed silently and soundlessly in the dimly lit room, with a faint scent of blood wafting through - this radiance came from the twisted blade of the 【Demon Blood Dagger】, while the bloody smell was the unique negative energy on this magic dagger.

  It's not just waving it around, even if you wear it for a long time, this bloody smell will still stick to your body.

  So the Moldovan tax official who was about to get 'baptized' would have put it here in advance.

  But this undoubtedly saved Dean.

  The Demon Blood Dagger was placed in a cowhide wrapping, prepared by Dean earlier, and tucked into his waist on one side of his clothes.

  Once again surveying the small room to confirm that nothing had been left behind, Dean returned to the bedroom above, turning the mechanism and closing the secret door once more.

  Then, quickly but seriously, he cleared away all the traces he had left in the entire room.

  Then Dean lay in wait inside the room, quietly awaiting the return of its master.

  But what Dean didn't expect was that the first person he waited for wasn't that customs officer named Modell.

  Crack! Crack!

  The sudden appearance of a provocative voice in his ear made Dean frown, who was lurking.

  Obviously, the master used a key, rather than his usual method.

  So, the newcomer is an uninvited guest of the same status as him!

  Very soon, with a crisp and distinct sound, the door of the house which had been locked was opened quietly.

  Because throughout the process, there was a palm that gently grasped the door handle, making it impossible for the door to make any sound - although this is not an outstanding skill, it is enough to show that it is a powerful and stable palm; whether it is a thief or a hunter, they all need such a palm.

  And afterwards, the other party didn't even check, and closed the flip board mechanism, as if it was entering its own home, which made Dean confirm the other party's identity: thief!

  And it was still the thief who set a trap for Mold's tax officer.

  After a moment's thought, the unfinished tunnel that Dean had created with his own hands in the underground secret room of the tax officer suddenly appeared before him.

  This is not a difficult story to guess.

  Just thinking about the relationship between the two parties will naturally reveal the entire storyline - the relationship between them is undoubtedly a naked, bare and extremely unscrupulous one of self-interest.

  Greed and darkness intertwined, undoubtedly leading to mutual distrust between each other, coupled with the ambition of both sides.

  Obviously, one side must die.

  Such an ending was destined from the start of the deal!

  Of course, if one side had given in, such a result would not have occurred - however, as Ye Qi knew, that Mold tax official was not someone who would give in, and even if he did, he would ask for it back several times over afterwards.

  What about the thief and that Moldovan tax official?

  Although Dean didn't have any memories of him, his appearance here was proof enough.

  He walked into the living room as if he were entering his own home, walking down the corridor and stepping into the living room - just before he entered the living room, Dean silently closed the master bedroom door.

  After that, I could only rely on my ears to distinguish the other's actions.

  However, it was clear that since he had entered the room and due to the fact that all the traps inside were set by his opponent, the thief's footsteps did not retreat again.

  And the clear footsteps, however, allowed Dean to completely grasp the other's dynamics - without any hesitation, the other party did not pay attention to any other place and walked straight towards the master bedroom.

  It's clear that this thief gentleman knows a lot about Mold's secret room.

  Of course, this also includes the trap in the master bedroom.

  Crack!

  The crossbow mechanism that had just been reactivated by Dean was shut down once again, and the door to the room was pushed open in the next instant.

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

  Just as the door was pushed open, three crossbow bolts were fired from Dean's crossbow.

  For this opponent who was able to deceive his own hearing at the beginning, Dean would never be careless. As soon as he made a move, it was one of his trump cards - although thieves are best at hiding their figures, and at that time, both sides were still separated by a door, but this still showed that the opponent was not a rookie.

  In addition, the traps set up in Modell's room are enough to show that he is a seasoned veteran.

  Dien would rather fight a skilled mercenary or even a true knight than face an old hand like the thief.

  Because both sides will not launch a direct attack.

  Daggers in the dark, crossbows, and poison on top are what thieves love most, and once they're at a disadvantage, they'll run away immediately.

  So, to avoid future trouble, once you engage with an enemy like a thief, the best approach is to kill them in one hit - this was the most painful lesson learned from memory, advice given to Dean; and Dean, absolutely did not want to hover on the edge of death again, especially after he came back once.

  Hehe! Hehe!

  Faced with the sudden and unexpected attack, the thief dodged the first crossbow bolt aimed at his head by tilting his head to one side. However, the remaining two bolts aimed at his chest hit their mark.

  Although Dean didn't have time to wipe off the poison, the powerful spring of the crossbow shot two bolts that tore a big hole in the chest of this thief, and as the most important human organ, the heart was pierced first.

  "Uh, uh......"

  The robber looked at Dean, who appeared in the bedroom, with a surprised face wanting to say something, but apart from the arrow that pierced his heart, another arrow was undoubtedly shot into his lungs, and blood flowed up his trachea, pouring back into his mouth, making his words completely voiceless.

  However, looking at his opponent's reluctant appearance, Dean also knew that he wanted to say something.

  It's just an expression of one's astonishment and attachment to life.

  Dean was completely uninterested in this.

  He merely gazed at the corpse with a hint of annoyance, and even when a white orb carrying 【XP+5】 floated down from above, it couldn't improve Dean's mood. Apparently, even if he disposed of the body in time, the bloody smell that wouldn't dissipate for a short while would definitely put Mordel on high alert as soon as he returned, which was extremely unfavorable for Dean who wanted to assassinate him.

  The simplest way is that after smelling the bloody smell, the other party only needs to quickly exit the door and shout loudly, and he will fall into isolation.

  With his current strength, facing the guards in town, three to five would be no problem, but once the number reached double digits, it was absolutely something that Dean couldn't handle at this moment.

  Only true knights have the ability to face a team of guards.

  But obviously, Dean isn't now.

  As for betting on the other party not discovering the bloody smell?

  If it were an ordinary person, Dean would definitely gamble, but a long-time wearer of the 【Devil's Blood Dagger】, such a magical weapon, is too familiar with the smell of blood and negative energy, and it's not worth Dean's bet.

  Because Dean knew that once he gambled, he would lose everything.
