What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

After a while, the owner of the airplane head stall also came.

He first looked around at the entrance of the dead end, and then walked in after confirming it was safe. When he saw that there was no one inside, Brand immediately reacted. He grabbed the rope of the watermelon basket with one hand and naturally rested his other hand on the pile of watermelons.

In the crack of the watermelon, there was a strange-looking blunt knife, which was also a common form of evil spirits.

All of this was seen by Connor who used the three-dimensional mobile device and [Breath Blocking].

How come these imperial tool users, who are already powerful in themselves, have such sharp perceptions?

Retracting the three-dimensional mobile device that would cause noise, Connor evacuated little by little under the state of [Breath Blocking], but suddenly the wind direction changed.

The wind blew into the alley from behind Connor, mixing with the smell of the entire snack street and the taste of watermelon, which immediately made Brand look up diagonally!

"How about you get some sleep, handsome boy? The kind that you can wake up tomorrow?"

"【Evil ghost haunted】!"

Brand didn't waste any words. He just went straight to the point and finished the pre-swing while talking. The Imperial Gear [Devil Haunted·Operation Armor] was immediately activated.

【Sixth sense】!

Imperial Tool [Super Power Spray Balzac]!

"I have no limits!"

The sense of danger emanating from the imperial weapon on Brand's body immediately triggered his sixth sense, and Connor put the newly acquired imperial weapon on his face before he could play with it enough.

call out!

When Brand appeared again, one of his feet had already stepped on the place where Connor had just stood.

Connor had also jumped to the other end of the roof.

"You are also an imperial weapon user? Looks like I can get an extra mission." After seeing the imperial weapon on Connor's face, Brand confirmed his guess.

Before he revealed his imperial weapon, Brand just wanted to invite Connor to sleep for a while. After he revealed his imperial weapon...

As a super soldier from the military, Connor's habitual walking movements and northern accent immediately caught Brand's attention.

A stranger face, he has seen blood, and judging from the way he holds the knife, he should be specialized in dealing with dangerous species rather than humans. He is most likely a hunter who came to the imperial capital from the north.

There were few hunters coming to the imperial capital, and even fewer coming from the North. Connor was wearing silk clothing given by the governor of the North. This high-end item was not something that the hunter class could obtain through normal means. Brand immediately identified Connor as one of Esdeath's entourage.

"Young handsome boy, why do you want to work for the empire? Do you think that if you work for the empire, the empire will really give you the treatment you deserve?" Brand maintained a ghost-haunted posture and rushed in front of Connor in a few steps, pointing the spear named Redback Robert at the thigh, which was not fatal.

How about completing the challenge here? There's no winning or losing involved anyway.

Connor did not respond. Apart from the mission, the pressure brought to him by Brand was much greater than that of the three beastmen, and there was almost no room for him to speak. The enchanted battle axe in his hand could only barely protect the half-meter range in front of him under the slow vision of the [Sixth Sense].

Connor used the battle axe to repel the spear again. The range of his defense had been compressed to 30 centimeters. It would be impossible to defend any longer. Connor fought and retreated to the edge of the roof, but stepped into empty air.

Brand paused the tip of his gun and frowned. Who was he trying to scare with such an obvious flaw?

The next moment, Connor switched to the three-dimensional mobile device and came back from under the roof wielding two sharp blades!

If someone opens the window and looks out at this time, they will find a small top spinning the entire time.

"What a sharp sword! Your sword will get rusty if you continue to stay in the Empire!"

Brand's eyes almost couldn't keep up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, although it was due to the use of weapons, it was really fast!

Snap! Ding!

Brand, who failed to return to defense in time, touched the scratches on his breastplate and visor. If those two knives had the same armor-piercing effect as the battle axe, Brand felt that he would definitely be bloody.

Faced with Connor's high-speed movement and this unprecedented attack method, Brand immediately switched from offense to defense, standing on the roof with a horse stance and using a red-backed Robert to make it impossible for a needle to penetrate or water to splash in.

Good marksmanship!

49. Damn, I'm surrounded by good people

Brand stood on the roof with his spear across his shoulders, his cape rustling. Robert the Redback didn't have the aggressiveness of a venomous snake spitting out its tongue with a soft-shafted spear, but the bowl-sized spear flower suddenly stabbed straight at his heart, which also had the power of a latent dragon emerging from the water.

The three-dimensional mobile device on Connor's waist almost pierced every roof nearby, but he couldn't get the knife into the defense range of the spear. None of the residents around dared to go to the window to watch the fun, and they just let the sound of rain hitting the banana leaves come from the roof.

chap——

Brand deliberately exposed a flaw, stepped back and stepped on the roof tiles with a little force, breaking them. His body's center of gravity was unbalanced and he fell off the roof, then turned around and walked away with his spear upside down.

He still had a mission to complete, and although he wanted to continue fighting, it would be bad if the situation got out of hand and attracted the attention of some annoying guys in the imperial capital, so Brand decided to use his body to lure the hunter.

Brand had seen the imperial weapon on Connor's face. When it was used to its full potential, it would also make the user of the imperial weapon confident, arrogant, and complacent. Brand was very confident that the imperial weapon was used to fight an intelligence war.

The boss told him about the power of this imperial weapon. The previous masked imperial weapon user, Nadezhda's adjutant, after activating the ultimate effect of the imperial weapon, threatened that he could capture Esdeath together with Nadezhda.

The result was obvious. The adjutant died, his imperial weapon was recovered, and the boss lost an arm and an eye.

Connor was hooked!

You have a mission, and I have a mission too! Before the challenge mission was settled, Connor was not going to let Brand run away.

With the three-dimensional maneuver, Connor turned into a spinning top in the alley two stories high and cut into the gap behind Brand.

The gyroscope was getting closer and closer. Hearing the buzzing sound of his body, Brand shouted loudly, grabbed Redback Robert with both hands, suddenly twisted his waist, stretched his arms, turned around and shot!

The shot was powerful and fierce, heading straight for Connor's face while he was spinning.

so close!

Connor's eyesight and reaction speed were kept at their peak thanks to the imperial weapon, but he was still startled by Brand's "comeback" and put his two swords together to block in front of him.

With a snap, Redback Robert was blocked by two swords, but the power of the swords and the solidity of the imperial weapon itself caused the blades, which were not suitable for attacking, to break into pieces.

The broken blade gave Connor more time to react. Although his knuckles where he held the two knives ached slightly, Connor simply bent his knees and lowered his waist backward to avoid the tip of the gun stabbing at his head. At the same time, he used inertia to slide into the defensive range of the spear!

Connor canceled the three-dimensional maneuvering device, drew the battle axe from his waist, suppressed the spear, stood up, and slashed down along the spear of Redback Robert.

One inch is long and one is strong, one inch is short and one is dangerous.

Brand, who was experienced in close combat, decisively gave up his spear, and dangerously closed his fully covered gauntlets to clamp the axe blade in the middle and shift it outwards. He pulled Connor over and, relying on the advantage of the armor, smashed him down with his head butt!

At the same time, the axe blade was controlled, and Connor's feet instinctively kicked out with the help of Brand's strength!

Boom!Boom!

Connor flew backwards and rolled on the ground for several times, his head buzzing; Brand was not much better, he staggered a few steps and lay on his side on the ground holding his knee. Connor kicked the inside of his supporting leg knee.

"Little handsome boy, you are quite skilled! If it weren't for the Empire, I would really like to make friends with you."

"It's not necessarily impossible for us to be friends. You are really enviable."

The duration of the imperial weapon ended, Connor took off his mask and raised his fists in front of him.

Brand grinned, the exhilarating battle had made him a little intoxicated. Without the imperial weapon, the noise would be minimal, and there wouldn't be those annoying lackeys around, so it wouldn't hurt to play a little more, at least Connor could take a beating much more than Tatsumi.

He also removed the [Evil Ghost Possession] which consumed a lot of his physical strength, and swayed his body left and right as he pounced on Connor.

"Superman Punch!"

The second round began, and the two sturdy bodies wrestled together again, with their well-defined muscles colliding with each other.

After a while——

"Is someone fighting? I think my justice radar heard some fighting!"

A sharp whistle sounded, followed by a clear female voice.

"Imperial Capital Guard, patrol officer Sailu is here! In order to enforce absolute justice, if you have any difficulties, I can help you solve them! Otherwise, I will sentence you to death for disturbing public order in the name of justice!"

The person who came running from another alley was Sailu who heard the fighting, with a puppy following her.

When the cute-looking Sailu ran out, she saw two shirtless men squatting on the side of the road, staring at a pile of watermelons with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"I will bring justice to you..."

Huh? What happened? Did she hear it wrong? There were no injuries on the two people, and there were no signs of fighting in the alleys around them. Selyu looked at Connor and the airplane-headed Brand suspiciously.

If Sailu could stand on the ground and see the mess on the roof, she would definitely not think so.

Seleu, who was not at a high enough level, did not recognize Connor who returned to the capital with Esdeath, nor did he recognize Brand who changed into a crew cut. On the official wanted poster of the empire, Brand still had the short and handsome look. Unless someone had seen Brand in person and the imperial weapon, they would not have connected him with the wanted poster.

After looking at it for a few more times, Sylvie finally realized and covered his eyes. He looked at Connor and Brand through his fingers: "You two hooligans! This is immoral! Why don't you put on your clothes quickly!!!"

Where Seryu couldn't see, Connor's arm, which was trying to pull out the tooth dagger, was held down by Brand and couldn't move, but his hand covered with watermelon juice also pressed on Brand's shoulder.

"Patrolman, this is what happened."

The arrival of Sailu announced the end of this battle, and the challenge mission was transformed from an unfinished state to a settleable state.

Connor was the first to stop exerting his strength. Feeling the other's muscles relax, Brand also picked up the clothes on the ground.

With great skills and courage, Brand has the ability of invisibility due to [Haunted]. He plans to wait and see. Even if facing two people, he has the confidence that he can escape unscathed. However, he needs to make new plans for the mission.

Connor took out the token given by Esdeath from his pocket and placed it in front of Seryuu: "The general just came back from the North. I planned to buy some watermelons for the general, but the watermelon seller said he didn't want any money. I left the money and ran away, and he chased me."

Sailu is a very paranoid and perverted person, but she is not completely useless. She can use even a piece of toilet paper. At least in front of people Sailu thinks are good people, she can still speak normally. Compared with those completely perverted lunatics, she is more or less disguised.

Esdeath's token is considered a golden sign in the imperial capital. No one dares to forge the token and risk being hunted down by Esdeath. Seleu immediately believed Connor's words.

Seeing that he was not going to report him but was covering for him, Brand reacted quickly and immediately said, "You still want money for the general's things? Isn't this looking down on me?"

"The general drove away the foreign tribes in the north. Eating a few watermelons shows that you respect me!"

"You...didn't fight?"

Connor and Brand said in unison: "No."

There were no scars on the faces or bodies of the two men, and their clothes were just covered in dust from being thrown on the ground.

Sai Liu: "You have to pay for the watermelon?"

Connor: “Yeah.”

Sai Liu: "You sell watermelons for free?"

Brand: “Yeah.”

Sailu: "...Why do I feel like my brain is not enough..."

"Look, Patrolman, is there anything wrong with paying for a normal transaction?"

"No, no, no, patrol girl, is there anything wrong with me giving the general a few watermelons as a token of my filial piety?"

Saiyu: “No, no problem…”

Connor and Brand stood on the left and right of Seleu, both showing trustworthy smiles.

General Esdeath is a good man who protects the empire, his subordinates are good people, and the one who brought the watermelon to the general is also a good person. After following his own logic, Sylvia had no idea how to deal with the current situation. He didn't even notice that the puppy was kicked away from him and Brand by Connor.

Saiyu: ...Damn it, I'm surrounded by good people!

50. I will escort you and your watermelon

"Is this your first time in the imperial capital, Mr. Connor? It's okay, it's normal to get lost."

"Imperial Guard Patrolman Seleu Eubiquitus will escort you and your watermelon to the General's Palace!"

Seleu gave a standard imperial military salute.

"What a righteous patrolman you are! Thank you for your help. I will settle the account with the melon seller first."

"Well, I'll discuss the discount with the hunter." Brand also flattered.

"It's okay, it's okay! Solving problems for every good person is my creed of absolute justice!" After being praised, Cellu almost wagged his tail like a puppy Teigu.

With Seryu's "mediation", the "melon selling" finally went on smoothly with a discount. Connor and Brand came to the side and pretended to really calculate the total price.

"What is this?" Brand took the small bag of metal coins that Connor handed over. There was a mixture of gold and silver in it. Just by shaking it for a while, Brand roughly estimated the total amount.

Even if it was just a casual affair, it was too much.

"No friendship without fighting," Connor whispered, "Just treat it as making a friend who sells melons."

“What? You should have said it earlier! Use this money to treat your two sisters’ illnesses,” Connor winked at Brand and suddenly raised his voice. Even Seryu, who was playing with the dog, could hear him clearly. “If your two sisters are not well, don’t walk around the city. You can’t find a patrolman as good as Seryu everywhere.”

“Hehe!” Sailu proudly puffed out his chest and said more if he could. “Those bad guys will be sensed by my justice radar and then eaten by my Xiao Ke. Look, this is Xiao Ke. Don’t look at its small size, it is an imperial weapon~”

"Hmm? Ah, oh, yes, I just wanted to sell a few more melons to help my sister with her illness. Thank you so much..."

Brand was a smart guy. He followed Connor's lie and left with the money bag.

The little dog beside Seleu is also an Imperial Artifact, [Magic Beast Transformation: Hundred-Armed Giant], which is a biological dog-type Imperial Artifact. Brand mentioned it in the boss's literature. It is a ferocious Imperial Artifact that can be repaired as long as its core is not destroyed.

At first, Brand was confused by the puppy's appearance. After all, whose biological imperial weapon could be moved away by Connor's feet?
