Golden Summoner

, golden summoner

Bypassing a large screen, the boy took Xia Pingan directly to the front hall of Wuweizhai.

The front hall of Wuwei Zhai is clean and tidy. There are two hanging baskets. There is an ebony table and two stools in the front hall. In front of the front hall is a pawn shop counter as high as a person's neck. A man is standing on the counter. , with his neck raised, standing on tiptoes like a goose.

Behind the counter is a chubby middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses and a black felt hat. The middle-aged man is holding a pocket watch with a silver chain in his hand and is winding the clockwork of the pocket watch. , also put the pocket watch to his ear and listened, and then said condescendingly to the person who came to pawn.

"Sir, the cover of your watch is badly worn and is a little old. The spring inside is a little old and its elasticity is no longer good. Although the watch can still run, the time difference every day is estimated to be less than The new watch is a lot bigger. Let’s do this. I’ll give you an estimate of 30 silver coins for this watch. According to our pawn shop’s rules, you can only pawn it at 60% of the price. How about I give it to you for 18 silver coins?”

"This watch is still new. Shopkeeper, look at the painting on the dial. It is a gold-plated cloisonné enamel dial. The chain of this pocket watch is also made of sterling silver. But this chain is worth several silver coins. Shopkeeper, no matter how much you pay, Give me some money, these 18 silver coins are too little. When I bought it, it cost me more than 40 silver coins..." The man who pawned the pocket watch begged with a frown on his face.

"I can only give you one more silver coin, 19, no more!" The middle-aged man behind the counter shook his head and put the pocket watch on the counter, "If you think it's low, just go Check it out at other pawn shops!”

"Okay, then 19 silver coins!" The man at the watch said quickly.

"Invoice him..." The middle-aged man took the watch to another man in his twenties next to the counter and asked that person to invoice the person who held the watch, and then looked at Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan noticed that when the shopkeeper saw him, the pupils in his eyes changed slightly. Ordinary people may not be able to detect such changes, but for Xia Pingan, people's emotions and some inner activities can be seen from the changes in the pupils. It is the easiest to see.

Is this shopkeeper my contact person? Looking at the pawn bargaining by this shopkeeper just now, it turns out that he got a good deal of leeks.

"Shopkeeper, this guest officer wants to be top-notch!" the boy said to the shopkeeper behind the counter.

Top quality is the lingo in the pawn shop. Those valuable things, special items that summoners can use, are all top quality.

"I know, take the guest officer to the Xiangzi room at the back. I'll be there soon..." the shopkeeper behind the counter said.

"Sir, please come with me..." the boy said, and took Xia Ping'an directly to the aisle on the side of the front hall, went around to the back of the front hall, and came to a rather quiet room without windows. .

High-end pawn shops sometimes have secret rooms to facilitate private conversations in order to protect the privacy of their customers.

"Please wait a moment, sir, our shopkeeper will be here soon!" After bringing Xia Pingan here, the boy said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he closed the door from the outside.

Xia Pingan was waiting in the room. After just waiting for a while, the shopkeeper just walked in from a side door in the room and walked calmly to the opposite side of Xia Pingan. The eyes behind the tortoiseshell glasses moved up and down again. He looked at Xia Pingan carefully, and finally sat on the chair next to Xia Pingan.

"Are you...Xia Ping'an?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Yes, I wonder what you would call me?"

"My name is Lan Wuwei. I am the shopkeeper of the Wuwei Pavilion and the contact person of the Shadow Guards of the Judgment Army. From now on, I will be the only one responsible for contacting you. If the contact person is changed, I will notify you in advance!"

Xia Pingan looked at the room, "Is it safe to talk here?"

Lan Wuwei smiled, his eyes narrowed, his beard raised, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks split open. He smiled like a hamster that had stolen walnuts, cunning and greasy, "Don't worry, this room has been specially decorated. We are talking in a secret room, and no one outside can hear us. If the conversation here falls into the ears and eyes of a third person, the layout of this room will send a warning, and we will know it immediately..."

"What are Shadow Guards? Why haven't I heard of Shadow Guards in the Judgment Army before?" Xia Pingan asked.

"The Shadow Guard is a secret in the Judgment Army. Not many people know about the Shadow Guard. Even within the Judgment Army, only a few relevant figures know about the existence of the Shadow Guard. If you have not joined the Judgment Army before, it is even less likely to know. , the so-called Shadow Guard, you can understand it as a judge whose identity is not disclosed, a judge who walks in the darkness. The Shadow Guard performs special tasks of the Judgment Army, but these tasks are confidential, not public, and do not involve Those adjudicators whose identities are disclosed, do you understand what they say?"

After saying this, Xia Pingan understood and nodded. This shadow guard was like a plainclothes and undercover agent whose identity would not be disclosed. Of course, judging from the nature of the Judgment Army, he is not just a plainclothes or undercover agent. The functions of the Judgment Army are more like a combination of the Imperial Guard and the Knights Templar. The Shadow Guard is equivalent to the Imperial Guard and the Templar Knights whose identities are kept secret.

"How many people in the Judgment Army know my identity?"

"Now, there are only three people in the entire Dashang Kingdom who know your identity as a Shadow Guard. One is me, the other is Lord Baizhu Priest who selected you to join the Shadow Guard, and the last person is Lin Yi, the counselor of the Dark God of War Cult in the Dashang Kingdom. Sir, Lord Lin Yi is the commander-in-chief of the Judgment Army, and he also holds the list of all Shadow Guard members of the Judgment Army. Your mission also comes directly from Lord Lin Yi."

Xia Pingan looked at Lan Wuwei and said straight to the point, "I'll be honest, one of my important purposes in joining the Judgment Army is to obtain summoner training resources through the Judgment Army. I want to know what are the benefits of becoming a Shadow Guard. , can you guarantee that I will continue to move forward on this path as a summoner?"

"Hahahaha..." Lan Wuwei laughed and looked at Xia Pingan with squinted eyes, "Don't worry, the resources you can enjoy as a Shadow Guard are definitely many, many more than those of an ordinary Judgment Army. What you can enjoy Resources are not limited to the Summoner profession, but are all-round!"

"What's the meaning?"

"You will know later that no one who joins the Shadow Guard will regret it, but how much resources you can enjoy in the end depends on your ability and how much you can do!"

Lan Wuwei said, and with a move of his hand, an additional photo and information appeared. He put the photo and information on the table and handed it to Xia Pingan, "This mission is even if you join the Shadow Guard." Let’s take a small test. This man’s name is Xu Gui. He is a local gangster in the port area of ​​Shangjing City. He controls a small gang with hundreds of people. What he does most is to deceive, kidnap and control the women who come to Shangjing City. , and then send those women to brothels to do the flesh business to make money for him. This man has already touched the lives of several foreign women on his hands. This man will practice your skills. No matter what method you use, as long as he is not allowed to live anymore. !”

Xia Pingan looked at the photo. The photo showed a man with a bare head and a fleshy face, hugging two enchanting beauties on the left and right. The man also had a green dragon tattooed on his bald head. Not good.

"Wouldn't it be enough for such a person to be arrested and tried by the police? Is there any need to dispatch the Shadow Guard?" Xia Pingan asked.

"This Xu Gui looks rough, but he is very cunning. The police have no evidence that he has committed a crime directly, and normal legal procedures cannot do anything to him. In the previous cases of human life, he has asked his subordinates to top the tank. He himself Stay out of the situation, so special people are dealt with in special ways. By the way, this person also has a summoner named Lei Bai who is in the Yiyang Realm. That summoner is both his bodyguard and his strategist. It is not easy. To deal with it, I’m afraid it’s not that easy if you want to rush over and take his head!”

Xia Ping'an took the information, took a look at it, and threw it directly into his space warehouse.

"Is there a time limit for completing this task?"

"No, you can come to me again when you are done. Remember, you must not reveal your identity as a Shadow Guard under any circumstances!"
