For many awakened people living in the Broken Sea region, a major event occurred during this period.
The Hidden Killing Pavilion, a killer organization with a great reputation in the dark world, has lost one of its arms. Although the Hidden Killing Pavilion's gold medal-level killers are still there, the loss of a large number of mid- and low-level killers has still caused the Hidden Killing Pavilion to fall into a slump. Seeing this, several other large killer organizations in the Broken Sea have rushed to grab shares of the Hidden Killing Pavilion.
As to why the Hidden Killing Pavilion split, various forces and powerful figures had different opinions, but no one could reveal the inside story.
There were some strong men who saw the defeat of the Hidden Killing Pavilion Master at the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce that day, but when compared to the entire Broken Sea region, the number was quite insignificant.
These powerful men also have families and careers. Whether they are afraid of the Master of the Hidden Killing Pavilion or the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce, they would not spread this secret at will.
This also led to the fact that the more powerful people couldn't guess, the more curious they became.
Curious about the origin of the Burning Chamber of Commerce.
The killer organization under the jurisdiction of the Burning Chamber of Commerce, renamed the "Mission Guild"... or the bounty organization, has also attracted the attention of many forces.
But as expected, although the Burning Chamber of Commerce took over various large strongholds with its own strong strength, the lack of direct personnel was still a fatal weakness.
In just half a month, many strongholds were destroyed and even more killers were lost.
...
...
"Not only that, it is said that the Burning Fire Merchants did not accept all of the assassins left behind by the Hidden Killing Pavilion. They only accepted a few of them and dismissed most of them... The Burning Fire Merchants are too picky and too arrogant."
"That's not all. The Mission Guild is also very picky about the assassination bounties. Many assassination targets are puzzled. You know, even the Hidden Killing Pavilion, which ranks first among assassin organizations, doesn't dare to be so picky."
This move seemed extremely stupid to many people.
Originally, the Mission Guild was founded with the support of the Hidden Killing Pavilion. It had a very high starting point and was a super power with influence covering the entire Broken Sea.
However, after this self-destructive operation, the Mission Guild's influence plummeted.
After a while, when the heat dies down, they may not even be as powerful as the big forces.
Fang You, who was in charge of ultra-long-range command, naturally understood this point.
Seeing the declining business volume of the newly established Mission Guild, Qianqiu was extremely anxious. He thought he had messed up again. In fact, all this was within his expectations.
It is a pity to lay off many killers and abandon most of the original assassination business.
But compared to business and earning crystals, the bottom line is more important.
It is okay to offer a bounty for assassination, but only for those who deserve to be killed. The current Mission Guild is more of a bounty organization than a killer organization.
After all, the Mission Guild emerged from the Burning Chamber of Commerce, and the Burning Chamber of Commerce emerged from the Xinhuo Organization.
The flame is the flame of humanity, and its purpose cannot be violated.
So is dismissing most of the killers.
These killers were selected from all over the place by the Hidden Killing Pavilion and trained since childhood. Since they only learned killing techniques, most of the killers had very distorted values.
Those that are too inhumane will be directly destroyed humanely.
Most of them were dismissed, and the remaining few were sent back to the transit oasis to study again, learning cultural subjects... He asked Qianqiu to go to class as well.
With a legendary figure like Qianqiu as a role model, I believe other killers would not dare to be careless.
(Chiaki:???)
Under such circumstances, the operation of the Mission Guild is naturally not optimistic.
But Fang You was interested in such an organization not for the sake of earning ghost crystals. The Hidden Killing Pavilion's strongholds were spread across most areas of the Broken Sea, which formed a natural intelligence network.
Even those super powers and super families with myths in charge are far inferior to the Hidden Killing Pavilion in terms of influence and intelligence power.
And Xinhuo's intelligence capability is even weaker than that of the Great Oasis.
In this case, as long as Xinhuo can absorb 10% or 20% of the Hidden Killing Pavilion and digest it, the intelligence system will be able to make a big leap forward.
In particular, the Broken Sea is connected to many large domains. With this place as the core, the power of the flame can spread to dozens of large domains.
"The more troublesome thing is that the Thousand Faces has already lurked at the Bloody Emperor's place. Even if one of his/her incarnations arrives at the Broken Sea, he/she won't be able to spare much energy for fighting."
After all, the incarnation's combat power is far inferior to the original body. The Thousand-Faced Incarnation may not even be able to defeat a Title Sixth Sense. More importantly, unless it is a divine incarnation, other incarnations are just water without a source, and life energy is difficult to replenish.
In this situation, Qianmian can only play a supporting role.
Fortunately, Qianmian is good at assisting and has the ability to steal thoughts and consciousness, so no one can hide from him/her.
The Hidden Killing Pavilion's stronghold, assassins, servants...all the secrets are being revealed one by one.
This network is integrating rapidly, and once it is fully digested, the tentacles of the flame will be able to spread to many places in the Broken Sea.
This alone is a huge profit.
It was originally obtained for free, and I have to thank the Master of Yinsha Pavilion for the gift.
"Moreover, the restructured Mission Guild will not necessarily remain silent."
…
…
Kakajie is a wealthy businessman living in the Great Miran Islands.
Although he is called a wealthy businessman, he is only compared with the vast majority of ordinary people and low-level awakeners. In the eyes of those powerful people, Kakajie is still just a small figure.
On this day, Kakajie walked into the archipelago area, a huge city called "Jialan City".
The Jialan City is also a super power in the Dayilan Islands, second only to the Dayilan City which holds administrative authority. In this Jialan City, there is a relatively large Mission Guild office.
With trepidation, the wealthy businessman Kakajie walked into the mission office he had inquired about in advance.
But it was too deserted here. Whether it was him, the people preparing to issue missions, or the killer mercenaries, there were few people around. Even the staff in front of the counter had only three or four people.
'Is this really a large office?'
"I heard that the Mission Guild's business was bad, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. Will there still be assassins to take orders under such circumstances?"
Kakajie hesitated.
But then I thought, since I'm here, it's not easy for me to come to Jialan City. I can't just go back without doing anything, right? Besides, the guild may not accept this commission.
He stepped firmly and walked to a counter.
"I, I want to issue a bounty for assassination."
"Okay dear, please wait a moment dear~"
The friendliness of the receptionist eased the tension in Kakajie's heart, and in just a moment, he was led to a closed private room with secret rituals.
Posting an assassination bounty is naturally anonymous, which protects customer privacy.
These processes are similar to those of other killer organizations.
But will the Mission Guild take on this order?
"My target for the bounty is this person: Black Storm Diges."
"Please describe the target information in detail, which will help us to review and assassinate."
"Oh, Gedis's level is probably the sixth awakening. His awakening ability is to summon a black storm. It is said that he can even transform into the storm... 25 years ago, Diges attacked an oasis called 'Qingyan' and massacred thousands of people in the oasis, including men, women, old and young. When I went back, all I saw was a sea of blood and corpses, and flies all over the ground."
Kakajie clenched his fists, and veins on his forehead bulged.
He was angry but also extremely nervous because he had previously applied to several killer organizations such as the Hidden Killing Pavilion, but was rejected by all of them.
It’s not quite right to say that he was rejected. To be precise, the chips he brought out were not enough.
He is a wealthy businessman. He has worked hard to make money over the years and has accumulated hundreds of thousands of ghost crystals. It is not difficult to raise one or two million by selling his properties, but it is still too difficult to buy the life of a Six Awakening Throne with these ghost crystals.
He used his connections to inquire and found out that if he wanted to assassinate a Six Awakening Throne King, in many cases, the Ghost Crystal alone was not enough, and an exchange of interests with major forces was also required.
However, Kakajie is just a small wealthy businessman.
"Our guild has accepted your bounty. Please go to the designated location to pay the commission."
Clam?
Kakajie was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
…
Da Mi Luan City, the office of the First Class Mission Guild.
After a few days, when the Red-haired Sword King came here again, he found that the place was much quieter.
The former stronghold of the Hidden Killing Pavilion was extremely bustling, with people from all walks of life gathering here, and the smell of blood, stench, and everything else was present.
The Mission Guild office is now deserted, with few people coming and going.
When the Red-haired Sword King walked into this deserted but clean and tidy office, he unexpectedly felt that this environment was not bad, except that it did not look like an underground base.
Well, the Mission Guild calls this an office.
He sat down in the familiar rest area nearby and ordered an iced Sprite - yes, since that day, it was not the first time that the Red-haired Sword King came here. Every time he came, there were significant changes here. It became increasingly deserted for one thing, but the desertedness was only on the outside, and there were more differences inside.
This newly renovated rest area is one of the changes.
Drinks too.
After drinking a few cups in the hot summer, the whole person feels refreshed and clear-headed. This is why the Red-haired Sword King likes to come here when he is free - in the past, he would never go to such places except to take on missions and return them.
He looked around and found that there were not many people who, like him, had discovered the delicious drinks here, but there were at least ten people.
There is a kind of joy in having others recognize the things you like.
After all, this is the office of a bounty organization. During his free time, the Red-haired Sword King casually browsed through the tasks that could be taken.
"There are indeed fewer assassination missions, which is not surprising."
"However, there are actually quite a few commissions of different types, such as escort missions, treasure hunting missions, errand running missions, etc. When combined, they are not much less than the previous assassination missions."
"That is... can the Mission Guild complete so many commissions?"
The red-haired sword king guessed half right.
Of course, the former Hidden Killing Pavilion assassins alone could not complete the task. Many assassins wanted them to do assassinations, but they were asked to act as guards and security, which put them in a difficult position.
The killer can't do it, but the torchbearers can!
At this time, Blue Star was peaceful and tranquil. Many regular Xinhuo personnel complained that there were too few missions and too many colleagues. Going deep into the gray fog area was like returning home. There were not enough positions on Blue Star.
He then dispatched a group of people to the Broken Sea.
However, making extra money by carrying out missions is secondary. What is more important is that in this process, a lot of intelligence can be collected, which can fill the already barren database and expand the influence of the organization.
The Red-haired Sword King thought that judging from the deserted appearance of the Mission Guild at the moment, few people would accept the order.
But he looked carefully and found that
"Not only is the commission reward 30% higher than that of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, but the mission points can also be directly exchanged for some rare items in the guild."
There is no such thing in the Hidden Killing Pavilion, and the reward is just the Ghost Crystal.
And here,
The red-haired sword king opened his eyes wide and looked through the redeemable treasures carefully, his breathing gradually becoming rapid.
"It turns out... it turns out that even the Water of Life can be exchanged!"
"If I can collect a certain amount of water of life, the hidden wounds left behind can be healed!"
He immediately turned back to the list of commissions.
It's time to become a mission maniac!
…
Xingluo Bay, Guild Office.
A man dressed in black, carrying an epic sword on his back and wearing a mask, slowly walked into the stronghold.
That’s right, the working man’s black knife is back again.
Due to the relatively low combat power of Xinhuo Liujue, Fang You invited Brother Black Blade to come out of retirement. Although, it was only his three phantom incarnations that came to the Broken Sea, Black Blade himself was preparing for the awakening of the myth.
The original body adjusts its status without affecting the incarnation's working efficiency at all.
Heidao once again ascended to the position of gold medal worker.
Not only does he work, but he also has to manage a large number of workers.
As soon as he returned to the office, without taking a rest, Hei Dao asked someone to fetch the commission records for this period. He quickly scanned them and for a while, he fixed his gaze on one of the commission instructions and spoke coldly:
"Who approved this assassination commission?"
"Yes, it's Deacon Sabi."
A brown-haired old man soon arrived. He was Sabi, the highest-ranking servant left behind after the managers of the Hidden Killing Pavilion left, and now given the status of deacon.
Seeing Heidao asking about this commission, the brown-haired old man's eyes flashed with a trace of panic. He raised his hand and then dropped it. He calmed himself down and said:
"Dear Sir, the thing is, according to my investigation during this period, I found that the target of the assassination is not as glorious and upright as he seems. The crimes he committed secretly are too numerous to list. Therefore, according to the regulations, I accepted this commission and reduced the handling fee by 50%.
"All of my operations are in compliance with that...that process specification."
His tone was firm, yet a little aggrieved.
However, the true emotions that emanated from the surface of Sabbi's mind as he spoke could not be hidden from Black Blade, who had mastered the 'Mind Stealing' skill.
Black Knife opened his mouth, and it became colder and colder, like a polar winter.
"Three days ago, at the Black Water Puddle Tavern, five hundred thousand."
There was no need to say much. When the cold murderous intent of the black knife spread, Deacon Sabi's psychological defenses collapsed completely, and he told the whole story like pouring beans.
His eyes were lifeless and he sat on the ground, his face full of regret.
Seeing this scene, the expression under the black knife mask did not change at all, and he still spoke coldly, "Take him away and deal with him according to the rules."
In just one month, Black Blade and Thousand Faces cleared out most of the dirt.
In some people's minds, they are called the Black Demon and the Faceless Demon. But in the eyes of most people, they are powerful and mysterious men.
Clean up the internal affairs, recruit workers internally, and attract employment.
The entire Mission Guild is changing quietly but rapidly, especially the fact that points can be exchanged for rare treasures, which has attracted many top six senses.
The joining of these six senses has enabled the guild to surpass the Hidden Killing Pavilion in terms of high-end commissions.
…
Somewhere,
After two months of seclusion, the Master of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, who had finally recovered most of his injuries, walked out from the depths of the oasis.
"What's going on?"
"Reporting to the ancestor, due to the previous major changes, our Hidden Killing Pavilion's income has dropped by 70%, and now there are still many assassination bounties that are difficult to handle in a timely manner."
If his income is low, it will be difficult for him to support such a large family and himself.
The Master of Hidden Killing Pavilion sighed, but these were within his expectations and he had made preparations before going into seclusion.
"Where is the Burning Chamber of Commerce?"
The deputy leader became hesitant.
"Did the previous strategy fail to work?"
"In the beginning, the Mission Guild did lose a lot of assassins, but..."
The deputy leader became more and more hesitant.
"explain!"
"But the Mission Guild quickly attracted a large number of individual mercenaries to join, and now... now they have occupied the high-end market."
Clam?
Looking at the intelligence, the guild base that was nothing like the previous one, and the hustle and bustle inside and outside the base, the leader of the Hidden Killing Pavilion couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Could it be that I have been in seclusion for ten years?
