Chapter 104 Chief Morgang, pay attention! Don't embarrass yourself!

The orc who attracted everyone's attention was none other than Morgon, the powerful black panther orc and current chieftain of the Frostclaw tribe.

Faced with the necessity of having a Level 3 professional risk their life to force out Molly the Hero's "Extraordinary Assassin," the higher-ups of Blackrock City made the same choice without prior agreement.

It would be a huge loss to send our own people on such a perilous mission.

Having an outsider in the role would be just right.

Looking at those pairs of malicious gazes, Morgon felt extremely uncomfortable. He understood more deeply how evil humans were and was even more aware of the humiliation of living under someone else's roof.

"Gentlemen, I—"

Mo Ergang opened his mouth, wanting to refuse.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted one after another by the people at the conference table.

"Chief Morgang, this task is arduous and great, and only you can do it. Please do not refuse."

"That's right. After losing Sir Kalenno and Archdruid Liam, Blackrock City is extremely short of level three, four, and five-star professionals. Chief Morgon's strength is clearly no weaker than that of the fallen Sir Kalenno."

"Chieftain, don't be frightened by Molly's victory. The two human powerhouses fell mainly because of the information gap. As long as we are careful this time, we will be fine."

"Yes! Cheer up, don't embarrass yourself!"

"If Chief Morgon can successfully complete this mission, we will advise Princess Erisil to make the entire Frostclaw tribe a legitimate citizen of the Kingdom of Lortheran."

The crowd's constant chatter made it hard for Mo Ergang to breathe.

Whether it was the high-ranking members of the Warriors' Association, the Mage's Association, the City Hall, or the Blackrock Legion, they were all unusually united at this moment.

Of course, what they said was not untrue.

This is forcing the Frostclaw tribe to pay a blood tax! As long as Morgon can make outstanding contributions to defending the city, the Frostclaw tribe will have a bright future, whether he lives or dies.

It should be noted that making his people citizens of the Kingdom of Lor'theran was the lifelong dream of the former chieftain of the Frostclaw tribe.

With the support of all the top leaders in Blackrock City, the opportunity to realize this is right in front of us.

Moergang fell into a long silence.

He wanted to cry but had no tears.

The dream of making his people citizens of the kingdom belonged to his brother, who had been killed by the hero Molly, not to him.

But since the higher-ups in Blackrock City had reached a consensus, he had no choice but to accept the mission, whether he wanted to or not.

Finally, Morgon gritted his teeth and forced an ugly smile, saying, "I am willing to serve the kingdom."

Once the person in charge of drawing fire from the front was chosen, the remaining personnel allocation became much easier.

Several Level 3 professionals present were assigned the task of remotely controlling the enemy, and several Level 2 professionals with special abilities were also assigned tasks.

The most crucial part of the plan was undoubtedly severing the connection between Molly the Hero and her controller after Molly released the "Extraordinary Killer".

And this most important task will be undertaken personally by Archmage Ignis.

The meeting thus came to a close.

After the meeting, Ignis left with Colin, and the two brothers prepared to catch up.

Colin will not leave Blackrock City until Molly's body is officially returned and properly disposed of.

After a busy night and most of the day, Louis's team was finally able to go home and get some rest. Even though they were exhausted, Louis still took Dina to the Warrior Association to choose skills.

After some searching, she purchased a level 1 skill called "Crimson Blade".

Its effect is similar to a level 0 Magic Blade, but it is stronger and more suitable for Denna's attributes.

【Crimson Blade: Can condense a three-inch-long fire-attribute magical light blade on the sword's blade, lasting for 10 minutes (possessing inherent fire-attribute magic, the duration can be extended to 20 minutes).】

[After being infused with a large amount of magic, the Crimson Blade's maximum length can briefly reach three meters, lasting for one minute.]

[This skill consumes 2/4 of your mana when activated.]

Simply put, this is a skill that can consistently increase attack power and also has burst damage, making it quite comprehensive.

However, this skill is shockingly expensive, costing a whopping twelve gold coins! It's practically robbery!

This was also the first time Louis had witnessed the process of purchasing skills.

He learned that the Warriors Association had extremely strict control over professional skills, which, although precious, were completely replicable intangible treasures.

To prevent buyers from passing on the skills privately, after purchasing the skill, Daina receives a one-time-use item called a "Skill Stone".

After using this item, the knowledge about Crimson Blade will be firmly imprinted in her mind in the form of instructional videos, including the experience left by those who practiced this skill before.

It's not impossible to transcribe visual knowledge into text, but most people can't explain the knowledge points of a skill completely like a master teacher.

Therefore, the completeness of copied skill books will be greatly flawed, making cultivation not only twice as difficult but also potentially harmful to oneself.

In short, Louis will not be able to get the new skill for free from Dina.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that it was all thanks to his own cheat code that he could easily bypass the knowledge controls of various professional associations and directly learn all sorts of powerful skills.

Night has fallen once again.

After resting for a few hours, Louis's team met up with Ruan at their usual spot, and the group entered the sewers.

On the way to the sewage outlet, Louis keenly sensed that Ruan was in a somewhat depressed mood compared to the previous night, as if he had encountered something unpleasant.

While Louis was cautiously observing the man from the shadows, Rouan suddenly spoke up.

"Captain Louis—I've heard that the Blackrock City leadership has devised a new ambush plan targeting that woman in black armor."

Louis was slightly taken aback; this matter should still be kept secret, right?

However, after thinking about the relationship between Ruan and Alwin, he nodded: "That's true."

"But we're just small fry, we can't get involved."

Lu An suddenly curled his lips into a sneer and said, "You are not insignificant people. I heard that in the meeting this afternoon, apart from Princess Erisil's hero team, there were only four of you Level 1 professionals present."

Hearing Ruan's increasingly hostile tone, Louis frowned slightly and suddenly became alert.

Not quite right.

Then Ruan continued to speak to himself: "The reason so many soldiers are sent to the sewers of Blackrock City is not only to clear out the monsters, but also because of the will of Princess Erisil."

"She wanted to use the soldiers' spies to find the corpse she was looking for during the monster-hunting process, but the eight thousand soldiers had been sweeping for two whole days and found nothing."

"I'm wondering if that person's body was really in the sewer."

"Or perhaps it was supposed to be in the sewer, but someone else took it—"

As he spoke, Ruan's gaze suddenly turned to Louis, his green eyes calm yet sinister.

"You've been to Wind Chime City, and one of your members happens to be a local—you also really enjoy exploring these sewers, searching for treasures in them."

"The weapons merchant whose life I deliberately spared was also the one who set off for the capital shortly after your team's first trip to Wind Chime City."

"Perhaps these doubts can be explained by coincidences, but I think it's worth a try."

"Now! Tell me the truth."
