It is possible for the demon descendants to attack anyone.
To be honest, in the war on the plains, being targeted by the demon camp shows that this person still has some weight, at least he is an important figure.
"Did that dirty scavenger vulture have a bad stomach?"
However, when Master Ren knew that he was being targeted by the ghoul Duke Marcus, he still couldn't help but curse.
Duke Marcus is mobilizing his and the power of the ghouls to deal with him and Thorn Security Company!
After hearing the news from Sophie, Ren was not only confused but also felt like I hadn't bothered you yet and you were giving me eye drops instead.
"Your Highness Princess, I don't remember that I offended him, right? Why did Duke Marcus send someone to bite me?" The sweet and sour taste of the wine entered his throat, but Ren curled his lips, "Is it possible that he is jealous of my appearance? handsome?"
Marcus, the ghoul Duke, is about to be promoted to Dark Duke through the "Feast of Gluttony" ceremony, which is the trigger of the war.
There is no doubt that he is a key figure, but Ren really doesn't remember that he and Marcus have any intersection or any grudge.
Some time ago, the system released an "optional mission" to kill the ghoul Marcus, with a time limit of one year... But Renn didn't think Marcus could know about it.
Everyone has no grievances, so he has no reason to deliberately target him.
"Hmph!" Sophie snorted softly at Ren's teasing words, and her red lips slightly opened, "Have you forgotten the ghost-hand Marcello?"
Marcello?
This name made Renn stunned for a moment, and then he frowned:
"The Skeleton Gang has been wiped out, and the ghost-hand Marcello has grass growing on his grave. He was not a particularly powerful figure during his lifetime... Could there be any sequelae?"
Ghost Hand is indeed a hero.
For the sake of profit, Marcello dared to join the demon camp and become a traitor. He also kidnapped civilians and gave them to the ghouls as rations...
For Ren, who had just gone to Pugni Plain and was still a peak third-level [Black Hunter], he was a formidable enemy.
But in today's view, Renn is not a difficult person.
An early fourth-level [Fighting Master], although his combat power is not weak, it doesn't take much effort to hack him to death.
"Sometimes, some inconspicuous characters often become good chess pieces and play a big role."
Princess Sophie opened a confidential document, her voice as cold as ever, but it made Ren narrow his eyes.
Some clues slowly connected in his mind, and he whispered:
"Your Highness, do you mean that he is an important chess piece of the demon clan?"
"I'm not sure. Prince Milo didn't react at all, but according to the intelligence coming from behind the scenes, the death of Ghost Hand made Duke Marcus and the ghoul family very angry..."
Reading the contents of the document, a strange color flashed in Princess Sophie's amber eyes.
Hidden line?
These two words made Renn's heart move. In the 7th game, a secret line was planted in the fallen Pineapple Town. You know, there is no living person in that town!
Doesn't this mean that there is rebellion among the demons on that side...
Renn squinted at the document in her hand, while Sophie looked him up and down, and continued meaningfully:
"If you hadn't killed him by chance... through some clues afterwards, we would have underestimated Marcello the Ghost Hand and not noticed anything unusual."
She bit the word "abnormal" a little too hard, which made Ren think thoughtfully.
In fact, I really didn't pay much attention to Marcelo in the 7th game at the beginning.
A fighting master at the beginning of the fourth level, and the largest gang on the plain - the Skeleton Gang, Ghost Hand may be able to run rampant on the originally barren Pugni Plain.
But in the eyes of the people in the 7th game, these are nothing, and they can be erased if they show some seriousness...
but.
Sometimes what leads to changes in the situation and unpredictable consequences may not be earth-shattering events or big figures.
"Ren, you have been hiding behind the scenes before. 'Weirdo' Zoro attracted the firepower for you... Duke Marcus didn't notice you, but now, as you become famous in one battle, some information can no longer be concealed. …”
A strange look appeared on Sophie's fair and pretty face, and she looked at Ren as if she were looking at a scourge.
At that time, he was not even at the fourth level. He relied on conspiracy and tricks to stir up trouble in the dark. He actually disrupted the situation on the plain and almost triggered a war in advance!
How audacious and cunning this is.
'It's over, the news is leaked, now no one takes the blame. '
Ren's face twitched and he sighed.
He has been able to stay stable for such a period of time, all because he initially passed the blame to the strange hero Zorro... Now that the news has leaked, there is no one to take the blame.
"Ren, many people now know that you designed to kill Marcelo. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, you killed an important chess piece of the demon camp, at least a carefully selected chess piece of the ghoul clan!
This makes them very angry, and they are ready to mobilize the traitors hidden among the demons and humans in some parts of the kingdom to deal with you. "
Princess Sophie's voice was still calm, but there was a bit of schadenfreude in her eyes.
It can be seen that she was a little happy to see Ren's love rival in bad luck, and she even wished that he would suffer a little.
"Your Highness, do I need to be afraid?"
Renn took a deep breath, the expression on his face was a bit solemn.
Some nobles on the edge of the plain, several underground dark organizations, and the ghoul clan gathered together to target him, and even he did not dare to look down upon him!
Overtly, secretly, plus the demon descendants... these are enough for him and Thorn Security Company to drink from a pot!
"What do you think? Master Ackerman." Sophie had a smile of unknown meaning on her face.
"Haha, Your Highness Princess, as you can see, I am in trouble now. You know, I have always been very patriotic.
Back then, I risked my life to intercept and kill Frank, the top Dark Duke of the Vampire Race, together with Senior Gunman Carlos, and intercepted an important piece of information for the kingdom..."
Ren rubbed his hands and began to approach him shamelessly.
After knowing that the person coming was evil and that there were many enemies who could not be underestimated, his first reaction was to find someone to take the blame with him... ahem, to find allies to tide over the difficulties together!
He wasn't afraid, he just wanted to minimize his losses.
For this reason, a little face is nothing. Unfortunately, Renne's idea of finding someone to take the blame is doomed to fail.
"Ren, the information I brought is the kingdom's support for you. The rest must be solved by yourself."
Princess Sophie stood up and stared at him opposite with her beautiful eyes.
"Can't you give me some more friendly support?" Renn glared at him, pretending to be powerful and trying to pull people into trouble, but he still refused to give up.
I am used to letting others take the blame, but suddenly I am taking the blame, which is a little strange...
"Ren, the war took place in the Pugni Plain, and the royal family also needs to win the support of the nobles in that area. It is impossible to suppress the incident for you at this time.
And now, we have to prepare for the seventh game, and we have no energy to deal with those underground organizations. As for the ghouls, the demons are the mortal enemies of the kingdom... We will provide help within the rules, but we will not provide additional support to you..."
Sophie said a lot, but she can sum it up in one sentence - the kingdom is too busy to take care of itself and has no time to help you solve your troubles.
Of course, she also made it clear that if Ren was willing to join the 7th Bureau or marry into the Clement family, everything would be different.
"Oh, he is indeed his godson. If uncle doesn't love grandma, he will see him off."
Ren sighed with regret on his face and stood up to see the guest off.
As for joining the 7th Bureau, or marrying into the Roland royal family to seek asylum, he has never considered it at all!
Just kidding, do you really think he, Master Ren, can’t lift the knife?
Besides, as long as he is willing to hang out at the headquarters of the Empire's Demon Hunter Association and join the special operations team, he can also sit back and relax. The association is more powerful than the kingdom.
But in this way, his painstaking efforts and influence in Faloran were gone.
Unless absolutely necessary, Renn will not abandon his foundation and run away.
"Ren, let me remind you."
Opening the exquisite golden nanmu door in the living room with bare hands, Princess Sophie paused slightly and glanced back:
"Perhaps, you can ask the Fenokaxiu family for help. I heard that you and Leon have a good relationship."
The Fenocathu family is a marquis family, the top wealthy family in Falorland, the family of "Horn of Dawn" Wade, and Saint Wade is Leon's grandfather.
"No need, I'm not afraid at all."
Ren said calmly that he had no intention of asking Leon for help.
Although he often deceives people and is used to pulling them into trouble, he rarely deceives his real friends.
Sophie looked at him in surprise. Being smart, she could sense that he didn't want to involve his friends, so she explained:
"Ren, this is not asking for help. The matter about the ghoul family and Duke Marcus is also related to Leon, and it is also related to your friend Master Nicholas."
Are they also related to Lao Goat and Leon?
Ren was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment.
“Don’t forget that the wife of Ghoul Duke Marcus was designed to be killed by Leon and Nicholas!
Ruined his plan, ruined his future, and his friend killed his wife... Renn, do you still think there is no grudge between you and Duke Marcus?
He didn't know that you were behind the scenes before, but now, especially after Duke Marcus knows that you are still good friends with Nicholas and Leon...
He already wants to tear you into pieces! "
The corners of Princess Sophie's mouth raised slightly, and she walked away with her sexy long legs, leaving only a slim figure behind.
"Tsk, tsk, it turns out I've been offended so hard."
After sorting out the information provided by Princess Sophie, Ren connected the clues in his mind with a sneer on his face.
'System, use that mission point to start retrieving the dungeon world in advance! '
Ren's eyes showed a cold light and he thought silently in his heart.
After knowing who the enemies were and how difficult they were, he made up his mind.
Renn is very aware of the power that Duke Marcus can use.
Not to mention that Marcus himself is about to be promoted to the Dark Duke. As a key figure in the battle, he has been watched by the demon camp and can mobilize many powerful demons.
And Marcus also has the support of the entire ghoul family!
Originally, Ren planned to hide in the dark, and look for opportunities with Artoria to kill Marcus and Tucker, the two ghoul dukes, and complete optional tasks.
But it's impossible now, he has been targeted by Duke Marcus.
The other party cannot be lured out by his design, and will be very wary of him and always pay attention to him, so...
[Guardian No. 1 uses a mission point to activate mission authority! 】
[Under detection, the permissions are activated successfully, and the copy task is started in advance! 】
[The dungeon mission, "Sword Breakthrough" has been generated in advance, and the appropriate dungeon mission world is being retrieved...]
[Reminder, the dungeon mission "Sword Breakthrough" expected to be released three years later will be launched within half a year, and all online favored persons will accept this mission. 】
Renn listened to the system prompts with an expressionless face.
He had studied this broken system for a while, and finally figured out how to use it.
After the "Weapon Mission" in the Moon World, he had one remaining mission point that he had not used, so this time he chose to open the dungeon in advance.
Since he can no longer hide in the dark, he must have absolute strength to kill Duke Marcus who has noticed him and is heavily protected by the demon!
On the battlefield, among thousands of troops, kill Duke Marcus!
Although it is difficult, this is the only chance to kill him.
Otherwise, we will do it under the noses of Prince Milo, Prince Christian of Demons, and many dark lords...
This is even more impossible, it is simply courting death!
In less than a year at most, the war on the plains will break out, and this time is simply not enough for Ren to break through to the sanctuary.
He was confident that he could reach the fourth level peak, but the last step was too difficult.
Unless you go to another world to practice for a period of time, no matter how long the dungeon mission has passed, the main world is just a moment...
It can't always be as short as the Holy Grail War, right?
"Tear me into pieces? Let's see who can kill whom!"
The smile on Renn's face was very cruel. Maybe it would be the best choice to leave the Kingdom of Falorland and go to the association headquarters, give up the optional mission, and seek asylum.
But he had no intention of backing down!
………
Not far outside the villa.
"How dare you kidnap a reporter... Wuwu..."
Two masked men wearing gray windbreakers roughly dragged a brown-haired middle-aged man into an alley with a ferocious smile.
The brown-haired reporter had a large piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth and his chin was tightly pinched.
"Sir, we have caught him without disturbing others." An employee of Thorns Security Company said softly.
Garcia, a cowboy wearing a skull mask, walked over.
"It's not good to be so rude. We are all civilized people."
Garcia gently removed the dirty cloth that smelled like feet from the brown-haired reporter's mouth.
"Guys, I advise you to take care of yourself and let me go quickly, otherwise... no, if you have something to say... don't... kill me..."
The brown-haired reporter took a few breaths and just thought about the threat.
Garcia immediately took out a Force firearm and roughly pressed the black muzzle against his chin. The reporter was so frightened that he sweated coldly, his body trembled, and he stammered in his words.
"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"
Garcia, who was wearing a skull-patterned mask, said coldly.
"Understood...understood, don't...don't kill me, I'll say anything!"
The brown-haired reporter, who was almost out of his mind with fright, said hurriedly.
………
"So, that reporter is just a greedy bastard who gets paid to do things and doesn't know anything about the inside story?"
On the second-floor balcony of the villa, Renn's back was turned to the cowboy.
He was holding a kettle and watering some potted plants.
"Yes, boss, I didn't ask for any valuable information, although he even told me the color of my mother's underwear."
Cowboy Garcia said a little dumbfounded.
But nothing was found, which is not good news.
"Haha, isn't it good to live? Garcia, do you know why so many people like to seek death?"
Renn smiled coldly, and his somewhat cruel and bloodthirsty tone made the cowboy very uneasy.
Garcia knew that the boss was angry this time and bowed his head respectfully: "Boss, what should we do this time?"
Ren turned around, his cold and ruthless eyes reminded Cowboy Garcia of the terrifying look in his boss's eyes when he looked at the Skeleton Gang's station that night in Orange Town.
"There are many enemies, deal with them one by one."
Renn held a card in his hand. When he turned it over, it showed the image of a clown.
"Look who is the clown!"
