After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

"If I didn't owe you a favor, I would teach you a lesson right now!"

"You can try." Roland accepted the challenge.

The Dark Night Lord stared at Roland intently and asked in a deep voice, "Level 5?"

"Level 5 peak."

"Don't go too far! Do you dare to try a few moves with me?" The Lord of Darkness was really angry this time.

The gap between level five and level six is ​​huge. Even those as strong as Roland and Sophia can only fight against ordinary level six warriors.

He is not an ordinary sixth level.

Faced with the Dark Night Lord's invitation to fight, Roland accepted it without any hesitation.

"please!"

Seeing Roland making a gesture of invitation, the Lord of Darkness was a little confused.

Is this bastard serious?

He hesitated for a moment, threw the dagger at his waist aside, took off the brass knuckles on his left hand, and placed the various special weapons in his cloak aside.

"Since you want to be beaten, I'll play with you. I don't use weapons."

"me too."

Roland took off the magic dagger and various magic props and threw them to Sophia not far away, preparing for battle.

The Dark Night Lord's eyes were red, and he was completely enraged by Roland.

He didn't understand why Roland, this fragile little magician, was so arrogant in front of him.

He couldn't kill Roland, but he would definitely beat this madman into a pig's head to teach him a lesson.

In order to end the battle quickly, the Dark Night Lord didn't even bother to activate his power-up. He just rushed to swing his sandbag-sized fist and smashed it, aiming at Roland's handsome face.

Let you go crazy and I'll slap you in the face.

In the last battle in the Senate, the Lord of Darkness was forced to jump up and down by Melanis and had no time to observe the battlefield. Naturally, he did not pay attention to Roland's fighting style.

But it doesn't matter.

As for the magician, it's the same thing over and over again. You always have to open a magic shield first, then calmly fill yourself up with various buffs and start chanting.

Powerful magicians can cast elementary and intermediate magic quickly, but in essence they just shorten the chanting time.

As long as you seize the opportunity to interrupt with the secret of silence, you can win.

Even if the opponent is a super magician who can cast magic instantly without casting any spells, his body is still very fragile and the battle will be over in close combat.

It is a consensus that magicians are good at long-range bombing but not as good as warriors in close combat.

It would be unbelievable if a magician could beat a warrior in close combat.

The Dark Lord is confident of victory.

He even felt that this was not a battle, but a one-sided beating.

"boom!"

The heavy punch tore through space and instantly appeared in front of Roland.

As expected of a top magician, he activated the magic shield and frost rock barrier at this critical moment.

Useless!

The Lord of Darkness sneered disdainfully and shattered the frost rock barrier with one punch.

The Frostrock Barrier is essentially a beefed-up version of the Ice Shield, and is very strong, but is useless against the Night Lord's powerful blows that can shatter giant granite walls.

Broken ice flew everywhere, and Roland retreated in embarrassment.

The Lord of Darkness knew that the winner had been decided, and inexplicably felt a little bored.

The battle with Roland was a foregone conclusion. If he hadn't been so arrogant, there wouldn't even have been any need to start...

?

The Dark Night Lord's eyes suddenly widened.

With this punch, half of the mountain could be blown away. Roland's best option after being hit by a heavy punch was to fly backwards to relieve the force, and then to create distance and bomb from a distance.

However, Roland charged in the opposite direction by tiptoeing.

That's right, the magician charged at the warrior assassin without any buffs.

The Lord of Darkness was well-informed and had seen all kinds of scenes, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

It was just a moment of surprise, and the holy shield that suddenly appeared in front of Roland's right hand had already hit the face of the Lord of Darkness.

"boom!"

The power of the Holy Shield is indeed no match for the powerful punch of a sixth-level strongman. Under normal circumstances, it is even difficult to break the defense of the Lord of Darkness.

But this moment of surprise cost the Lord of Darkness a price.

"Duang!"

A crisp sound broke the silence of the night. The Dark Lord was hit on the cheek by the broken holy shield.

The harm is zero, but the insult is extreme.

Roland's Holy Shield was hastily condensed and of a very low level. It was shattered by the Dark Night Lord's fighting spirit before it reached his face, causing no damage at all.

If Roland thinks this is a victory, then he is shameless.

But at least he proved that he had room to fight back against the Lord of Darkness and was not just passively taking a beating.

The Lord of Darkness subconsciously reached for the dagger at his waist.

When this soul-crushing dagger is wielded, even the strongest enemy will tremble in fear.

This is no joke, this is an evil dagger that strikes directly at the soul.

The smooth movement froze.

After all, this is not a vendetta, but a simple exchange of ideas.

It seems that the winner has not been decided, but in fact, the winner has been decided.

When a sixth-level warrior and a fifth-level peak magician are in close combat and there is no clear winner, the result is already known.

Of course he could put on his equipment and pick up the Soul-Breaking Dagger, and Roland could also put on all the magic equipment.

No matter how you think about it, Roland's equipment is better than his.

Even if he were fully dressed, he probably still wouldn't be able to defeat Roland.

This frustrating discovery made him a little upset, but soon his eyes lit up and he had some new ideas.

He took a few steps back, laughed, and said generously: "Your Majesty Roland is very powerful, and his potential is limitless. I lost this battle, I admire you!"

Seeing the Lord of Darkness concede defeat generously, Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lord of Darkness only expressed his admiration, but Roland was truly impressed by him.

It is already embarrassing to use a big force to defeat a small one, and it is even more embarrassing to be at a disadvantage.

Few strong people can accept such a result that seriously damages their reputation.

He hastened to defend the Dark Night Lord, "I just made a lucky sneak attack and didn't cause any damage. In fact, there was no winner between us."

"Haha, you really know how to comfort people."

The Dark Night Lord smiled and asked, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"I want you to switch sides on the battlefield and stab Leo and Chris in the back."

The Lord of Darkness stared at Roland intently, his expression looking a little grim.

He couldn't understand Roland.

When he was sparring with him just now, he advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and he exuded the demeanor of a strong man. In his heart, he was praising Roland for his vision and strength.

However, before Roland could warm up to the image of a lofty aspiration, he asked him to backstab his employer. The contrast was so severe that the Dark Night Lord's waist was broken.

Afraid that he had heard wrongly, he quickly asked, "You want me to backstab Leo and Chris?"

"Correct."

"You knew they were my employers?"

"Correct."

"Then you still let me take action?"

"I'll pay more!" Roland said in a low voice.

The Dark Lord was somewhat speechless. Was this a matter of money? Failure of the mission was only a matter of ability, but backstabbing the employer was a violation of professional ethics!

He didn't respond, but just sneered: "After stabbing your employer in the back, your career as an assassin has come to an end."

"Then don't do it. Do you plan to be an assassin for the rest of your life? Don't you have a dream?"

"Dream? My dream is to break free from the shackles and become a demigod. Is that useful?"

"Of course, I can help you."

Roland looked at the Dark Night Lord seriously and reminded him, "Do you still remember Melanie, who fought with you?"

"I know. She's your wife, the elf princess you bought home as a slave for one gold coin."

Roland didn't like what he heard. He gritted his teeth and explained, "That's all slander and rumors! If I really did that, the Evergreen Empire would have killed me long ago."

"Okay, that's not the point. The point is that when she first met me two and a half years ago, she was not even at level five, but now she has broken through to level six!"

What's this, isn't it...

Wait, how much?

The Dark Lord's eyes widened.

Seeing his shocked expression, Roland immediately brought up other people's examples as evidence to prove that there would be great prospects if he followed him.

The Dark Night Lord was moved.

According to the intelligence he had, not only the people around Roland, but even Stevenson, the former president of the Stargazing Society, had the opportunity to break through to the Demigod level only after investing in Roland.

Although Mr. Stevenson died mysteriously shortly after breaking through to the demigod level, it is worth dying for as long as he can touch this supreme realm!

The Dark Night Lord was moved.

But he was still a little hesitant.

Although Roland's offer was very generous, he still couldn't get over the hurdle of backstabbing his employer.

He considered himself to be no good person, and some of the people he killed were innocent, but he still found it hard to accept such behavior that clearly trampled on the bottom line of professional ethics.

Roland knew that he was in a deadlock, so he lowered his voice and said, "Lord of the Dark Night, if you can make a small mistake to achieve greater justice, do you think you should make this small mistake?"

"Of course you can. But I cannot accept such blatant trampling of professional ethics."

Roland did not argue with him about the importance of professional ethics, but said calmly:

"Leo and Chris are not qualified to inherit the title of Chief. Mr. Stevenson left a will, asking his disciple Egilina to inherit."

"Not only do these two guys not assist the new chief, they also want to use the power in their hands to seize power. They even hired assassins to deal with the designated successor of the former chief!"

"Let me correct you. I am an assassin, not a killer."

The Dark Night Lord sighed, his expression struggling for a long time before he slowly said, "You are right. In the face of major issues, professional ethics are not worth mentioning."

"Since I violated the professional ethics of an assassin, I can no longer be an assassin."

"Since you don't want to be an assassin, I do have a suggestion. Are you interested in becoming my senior advisor?"

"Advisor?" The Dark Night Lord was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard this word.

"It means I pay you to provide me with consulting or other services."

"Is that so?" The Lord of Darkness understood that this arrangement was actually the best.

Since he is a consultant, he does not need to be deeply involved in the affairs of Gracia; but because he is a consultant, he can share the resources of the Kingdom of Gracia, even including resources with a high level of confidentiality.

This was an offer the Dark Night Lord could not refuse.

Since Roland had expressed enough sincerity, there was no need for him to continue to be so reserved.
