"Oh, you must be talking about the 'Good Place' tavern! I am familiar with it. You only need one silver coin, and I will lead you immediately!"
After hearing Anvis' vague description, Cohen immediately understood where Anvis was going. While enthusiastically recommending himself, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Sure enough, he was a young master who sneaked out. He didn't even have hair yet, so he just knew how to hang out in places like that with his friends.
However, although he wanted to take action immediately, Cohen remained calm and made a special request for silver coins to pay for the trip.
This is to further dispel the other party's suspicion, because unreasonable enthusiasm will only make others wary. Only when the target thinks they know your purpose will they truly let down their guard.
For such a young master, a tip of one silver coin would not be taken seriously by the other party at all.
"No problem, take this, civilian, and now lead the way for me."
After hearing Cohen's words, Avis recalled the postures of the descendants of the minor nobles, with a deliberately disguised look of disdain on his face. At the same time, he took out his bulging money bag from his arms, took out a gold coin and threw it to the other party, speaking with a somewhat arrogant attitude.
"As you wish, young lord!"
After receiving Huang Chengcheng's gold coin, Cohen's face immediately showed excitement, and he bowed even lower, looking extremely humble.
"I know a shortcut, please come with me."
With that said, he turned around first and walked towards the alley. Anvis also looked like he had no doubt about his presence and followed closely behind him.
But as he walked, Anvis slowly realized something was wrong.
While Cohen was leading the way, there seemed to be a colorless and odorless gas component in the environment, but it had a powerful paralyzing effect.
Due to the narrow space of the alley, the concentration of this gas becomes higher and higher. Although Anvis is still immune to his own super physique, according to his judgment, 80% of professionals below the fourth level will be attacked without knowing it.
After estimating the time for the drug to take effect, Anvis cooperated and acted as if he had been hit. He staggered and his body fainted.
"What happened, sir? Are you okay?"
At this time, Cohen, who was walking slowly in front, seemed to realize that something was wrong with him. He immediately turned around and spoke with some worry.
Seeing that Anvis didn't respond, Cohen carefully took a few steps closer and tried to push Anvis, as if trying to wake him up.
But at the same time, a faint green light flashed instantly in his hand that touched Anvis.
"Hehe, take it easy! Apart from better equipment, there is not much difference between this innocent young master and a beast waiting to be slaughtered."
Seeing that the magic hit successfully, Cohen's expression completely relaxed. Regardless of whether he was pretending to be comatose before, now that he has been hit by a [paralyzing touch], even if he was pretending, it has become real.
That was a prop specially equipped by the City Lord's Mansion for people like them, and its effect was far from comparable to those on the market.
Throwing away the consumed scroll in his other hand, Cohen immediately began to search for the equipment on Anvis.
"...Three pieces of magic equipment, more than a hundred gold coins, and a space ring, a great harvest!"
Weighing the money bag found on Anvis's body, Cohen immediately judged how much money was in it based on the weight.
It's a pity that he has never really come into contact with high-end equipment such as the space ring. Even if he gets the ring now, he doesn't know how to open it, so he can only take it back and study it slowly.
Carefully hiding the space ring nearby, Cohen found a sack from a nearby shabby house, put Anvis in it, and then directly carried it, carefully avoiding acquaintances along the way, copying Xiao Lu rushed to the back door of the City Lord's Mansion.
After revealing his identity and the results of his trip, Cohen was secretly taken by a servant into a basement of the city lord's palace to wait.
"...The quality this time is good, adults should be satisfied."
After a moment, the mysterious hooded man who was always responsible for contacting him walked into the room. After carefully examining Anvis's appearance and the items he carried, he nodded slightly and finally turned his eyes to the man who had been waiting for a long time. Cohen.
"Now, tell me the whole process of how you met him."
"Understood, Your Excellency! It's like this..."
Hearing the hooded figure's question, Cohen immediately perked up and quickly described the entire process from meeting Anvis to 'successful success'.
"I remember you...your name is Cohen, right? You can take him down with your strength, you did a good job!
The hooded figure nodded, and while praising Cohen, he generously gave him a generous reward.
"From today on, you no longer have to perform the previous spy missions. I will arrange for someone to upgrade your position to the level of deputy captain of the City Guard.
In the meantime, you can now prepare to move. As a vice-captain level benefit, you can get a set of standard housing in the Iron Sword District of Midtown. "
"Thank you, sir, for the reward!"
After hearing this, Cohen could no longer hide the joy on his face. He quickly stood up and made an obscene salute imitating the appearance of a city guard.
"Then now, hand over the things he carried before. You can't touch them."
But after saying the reward, the figure's next words made Cohen's expression change.
"As you command...my lord."
Thinking of the upcoming promotion, Cohen gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out the three pieces of equipment and the money bag.
Of course, because he had considered possible situations in advance, he had already taken out part of the gold coins in his wallet in advance, otherwise he would only be more heartbroken now.
Glancing at the three low-level magic accessories and the money bag, the hooded figure sneered, and the unique aura of a fourth-level professional dissipated, while his sharp eyes stared closely into Cohen's eyes.
"I'm talking about everything, Cohen, where is the most important space ring?"
"Space ring? Sir, sir... isn't that the one?"
Under the pressure of the powerful professional's aura, a trace of panic inevitably flashed through Cohen's eyes, but he still pretended to be stupid and pointed at the ring among the three magic accessories, as if he didn't know anything about it.
"Whether you really don't know or you are pretending, it doesn't matter. Let me tell you now, this is what a space ring looks like."
There was a sneer on the corner of the mouth under the hood, and the figure randomly projected the appearance of several common space rings.
Since the main bodies of low-level space rings are basically made of void silver, they usually have a peculiar, mirror-like luster of silver and black.
"Even if you do get it, it is useless without the corresponding method of use, and it will lead to death for you.
After all, valuable items like space rings usually come with tracking methods, and someone from the other family might come looking for them at some point.
So, go back to the place where you met him and look for him. Maybe he 'dropped nearby'? "
Emphasizing the word "dropped nearby" meaningfully, the cloaked man looked at Cohen who was getting more and more frightened by what he said, and then his tone softened again.
"If you find it, I can make the decision to apply for a bottle of [Beast Blood Glory] potion for you, which will be enough to help you break through to the second level warrior."
"I understand... Sir, I will go back and look carefully."
Cohen nodded in frustration. Cohen did not dare to look into the figure's eyes anymore and walked away quickly. He felt as if his mind had been completely read.
