Chapter 20: No Martial Ethics



The office address is the safe deposit box business department.

The manager was a middle-aged blond man with a big belly and a slightly high hairline. The high-calorie food and lack of exercise had made his figure seriously out of shape.

"Open the safe?" The middle-aged manager quickly stood up and led Zhang Yuanqing to sit on the sofa next to him.

The receptionist poured two glasses of warm water and then left.

Zhang Yuanqing took a sip of warm water and glanced at the middle-aged man's chest. The name tag read Carl Parker. He smiled and said, "Manager Parker, I'm here to open the safe. The safe number is 0042."

Parker nodded: "Please show me your ID."

Customers can inspect and use their safe at any time, but they need to carry their ID with them every time they open the safe and sign the record after opening the safe.

"You've seen my ID." Zhang Yuanqing stared into Manager Parker's eyes.

The latter was in a trance for a moment, then stood up and said enthusiastically: "Come with me."

Zhang Yuanqing followed him out of the office, went deep into the bank, took the elevator underground, and passed through the passage to the vault. Parker and a bank employee took out the key and opened the 30-centimeter-thick security door.

Finally, I opened an iron gate and finally arrived at the personal safe hall.

The safes here are like the urn storage walls in a temple, row after row.

Manager Parker took Zhang Yuanqing to area 00, stopped in front of safe No. 42 and said, "Please help yourself."

After saying that, he walked out.

Zhang Yuanqing entered the password and then turned his face towards the pinhole camera next to the password key. After a few seconds, he heard the prompt tone indicating that the iris recognition was successful.

Password box No. 0042 is unlocked.

He immediately opened the safe and found a square wooden box inside.

“Snap!”

Zhang Yuanqing opened the wooden box and saw a fan-shaped copper block. Its complete form should be a bronze disc, divided into four pieces.

There were tadpole-shaped runes engraved on the surface of the fan-shaped copper block. Just one look at it made Zhang Yuanqing feel dizzy and his consciousness fell into a deep vortex, unable to break free.

He quickly closed his eyes and stopped watching. At the same time, he held the copper block in his hand and tried to read the information of the object.

After a few seconds, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and was stunned.

No item information...

"Strange, the Pope's relics must be spiritual items, why is there no information about the items?"

It’s a bit of a headache if there is no item information, because there is no way to define the thing. For example, for the treasure map fragments of the Demon Lord, the item information directly gives information such as "six pieces in total" and "Yuhua Xianmen Treasure House".

The direction of the treasure hunt suddenly became simple and clear.

"If it can make my eyes dizzy, it must not be an ordinary thing, but there is no information about the item... There is only one explanation, this thing is not a spiritual item, it is passed down by ancient practitioners."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly remembered a rumor that the Holy See possessed a complete heritage of ancient practitioners. In the dark Middle Ages, the knights of the Holy See charged on the front line against werewolves, witches, and vampires.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Holy See to possess items passed down by ancient practitioners.

"I just don't know if the papal relic is the copper plate itself, or if the copper plate is just a key. After putting all the keys together, we can get the real papal relic."

This fan-shaped copper block is obviously broken and incomplete.

Zhang Yuanqing took out the fan-shaped copper block and put the wooden box back into the safe, then turned and left the hall.

After leaving the bank building, Zhang Yuanqing changed his appearance several times, changed his clothes, and disguised himself as a handsome blond man. Instead of returning to the red brick building, he took a taxi to Kings County, where the security was relatively chaotic and the number of immigrants was the largest.

On the way, he thought to himself:

"Now it depends on the reactions of the Heavenly Punishment and the Hunter Guild. If it is the Hunter Guild that is looking for me, then the organization that planned the serial murders is the Freedom Covenant. I can take advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate the enemy."

"On the other hand, if it is a divine punishment, then ignore it and focus on dealing with the Pope's relics."

An hour later, Zhang Yuanqing arrived in Kings County. The urban construction here was obviously inferior to that of the Isle of Man. Both the streets and houses exuded the breath of time and were not tall enough.

Zhang Yuanqing came to Kings County for a reason, and he was on guard against the Freedom Covenant as the mastermind behind the scenes.

If the Free Covenant was the one behind the serial murders, then after he submitted the application for the "Zongcheng Mission", the Hunter Guild would definitely pay attention to him and look for him.

In an international metropolis like New York City, the best way to find someone is to use high-tech positioning methods, such as using the Hunter app.

Going back to the Red Brick Building at this time would be equivalent to exposing his location. Although he could prevent tracking and positioning by turning off his phone, he would not be able to contact the Hunter Guild.

"If the Free Covenant attaches great importance to the Pope's relics, they will definitely contact me today. Well, they still need some time to find out that 'Jia Feizhang' took the items from the bank safe. Wait a little longer..."

He wandered aimlessly through Kings County.

Kings County is the most populous of the five districts in New Testament County, and its public safety is as bad as that of the Bronx, which is full of criminals.

Places with poor public security have one thing in common: they are gathering places for idle people and prostitutes.

Zhang Yuanqing had just been walking around for a while when he saw a blonde girl wearing a tight dress and carrying a bag, approaching him.

"Sir, although it's still a long time before dark, I can't wait to indulge myself with you." The blonde showed off her figure and said:

"For two hundred dollars, you can have me. For two hundred federal dollars, you can have me tonight."

Two hundred federal coins? In New York County, where prices are high, it's considered cheap and affordable. You're not bad looking. There must be many men who have had you. Sorry, I don't have the habit of squeezing into the subway... Zhang Yuanqing declined politely:

"Ma'am, the price I can accept is 100 federal coins, um, for a whole night."

The blonde lady looked him over and smiled charmingly: "Since you are so handsome, one hundred federal coins will do."

Sorry, I don’t have the habit of taking the cheap subway...Zhang Yuanqing walked away in silence.

Another two hours later, he ate Nico’s fried chicken on the street in Kings County, watched street dance, and watched spirited young men skateboarding and playing basketball.

I feel that the security here is not as bad as rumored. Of course, it may be because it is not dark.

"Kings County and the Bronx are the hiding places of evil professions. Do you want to sense their emotions and find the evil professions? Well, it would be too much of a burden for me to sense everyone's emotions indiscriminately. There is no need to find a way to abuse them..."

Thinking in his mind, Zhang Yuanqing took out his spare mobile phone, turned it on, and opened the Hunter app. Before he could check the background, he saw two more unread emails in the mailbox.

One was a reminder that the task had been completed, and the other was from the official Hunter app.

"Respected hunter 'Master Tongtian', your outstanding performance has attracted our attention. For excellent hunters, we have a professional training program, as well as preferential treatment in terms of profit sharing and bonuses. Please report to the New Covenant County Hunter Guild branch before 6 pm today."

Tsk tsk, it turned out that the Freedom Covenant planned the serial murders... Zhang Yuanqing squinted his eyes and read the information, and immediately made a judgment.

"This message is clearly intended to lure me to the guild branch. They must have failed to locate me through the app before resorting to the last resort. According to the president's inference, the Hunter Guild should be tolerant of me. But if I refuse to hand over the Pope's relic, it is hard to guarantee that the Hunter Guild will not kill people to steal the treasure. We have to be prepared."

"The Yin corpses are the best cannon fodder, but no matter how they disguise their aura, they can never hide from the eyes of high-ranking practitioners. To be on the safe side, let the clone of the Eight-foot Mirror go."

Just as Zhang Yuanqing made up his mind, the cell phone he normally used rang.

The caller is Cao Qianxiu.

She? Why would she call me... Zhang Yuanqing answered the phone and said calmly, "Strange, this is the first time you called me during class time."

Cao Qianxiu on the other end of the phone got straight to the point: "The top leaders of the organization want to see you. There is something very urgent and important."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, thinking that no matter how urgent the matter is, it would not be my turn. In terms of rank, I am only a saint, and the Anti-Black and White Alliance has no shortage of high-end combat power.

In terms of relationships, I am a swordsman who has just joined the organization and am ultimately an outsider.

"I'm not sure, but it should be related to what happened last night. I have taken leave and am at home. Come back and I will take you to meet the leader and the elders." Cao Qianxiu said.

When Zhang Yuanqing heard that it was related to last night's incident, he put aside his original intention of declining and said, "Okay, wait for me at home."

He immediately took out the Eight-foot Mirror, created a clone in a secluded place, and then parted ways with the clone and acted separately.

………

One o'clock in the afternoon.

In Chinatown's townhouse area where wealthy people gather, Cao Qianxiu led Zhang Yuanqing to a villa and rang the video intercom doorbell at the gate.

"Boss, I'm Judge Cao, a member of Group Six. The one next to me is Xiaoyao Sword Immortal from the second largest area, and also a new member of Group Six." Cao Qianxiu introduced seriously.

After he finished speaking, the iron door made a "click" sound and the lock tongue popped open.

Cao Qianxiu looked back at Zhang Yuanqing and said, "Go in."

The two of them walked through the garden and were led by the maid to the Western-style living room. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the two people sitting on the sofa.

One is a strong middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a domineering aura, and the other is a handsome middle-aged man with a bookish air.

The one with thick eyebrows and big eyes should be the leader, and the other one is the elder surnamed Tao? Zhang Yuanqing silently analyzed the identities of the two. On the way here, he heard from Cao Qianxiu that the Anti-Black and White Alliance has a leader and two elders.

The leader is the Thunder Mage, and the other two elders are the Wind Mage and the Siren.

The temperaments of the three major professions are easy to distinguish.

"Judge Cao, please go to the side hall and have some tea first." Deng Jingguo spoke before the two of them could speak.

Cao Qianxiu obediently went to the side hall.

Deng Jingguo looked at Zhang Yuanqing and motioned him to take a seat. He said in a deep voice, "What level of swordsman are you?"

"Peak of level five!" Zhang Yuanqing replied.

Deng Jingguo and Tao Siming looked at each other. This answer surprised and delighted them.

Tao Siming smiled and said, "We would like to ask you for a favor."

Help? I definitely won't take a job that will get me killed... Zhang Yuanqing asked, "You tell me."

Tao Siming said seriously: "You are a scout, and you are best at tracking and investigating cases. We want you to find someone. He is a bounty hunter. His spiritual ID is Tongtian Jiaozhu."

Hunter Guild branch.

"I am just a clone anyway, so it doesn't matter if I die. I'll just treat it as a trial and error for the original."

"If the people from the Free Covenant attack me directly, then the president's plan will not work. I have to change my identity and infiltrate the enemy..."

In the meeting room of the Hunter's Guild, Zhang Yuanqing held the teacup in both hands, thinking aimlessly.

Soon, he heard footsteps.

Then the door of the conference room opened and a woman in a business uniform walked in.

She had a rare head of short grey hair, was about thirty years old, had a full chest, a slender waist, round hips, two seductive long legs, and exuded the sweet fragrance of a ripe peach.

Her facial features were exquisitely carved, beautiful without any flaws, and her light grey eyes were misty and charming, concealing a hint of amorous feelings.

Zhang Yuanqing only took one look and felt his head as big as a bucket, his mouth dry, and the desire in his heart raging. He wanted to pin this woman under him and whip her to his heart's content, letting her experience the attack speed of three A in one second of the strong night wandering god.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately restrained his emotions, tried to calm his lust, and worked hard to drive out the evil fire, but as a peak level six illusionist, it was difficult for him to control himself at this moment.

This is a master!

He thought about the possibility of the Freedom Covenant killing people and stealing treasures, and was even prepared to sacrifice his identity as the Master of Tongtian and create another alias.

But I didn't expect the other party to be so despicable and shameless and sent a dominant-level love profession.

Yes, letting the lust profession take action is the safest and most effective choice, which can control the target person without causing any major commotion!

I might end up losing both the goods and the people today. My mind is now full of Mario! Using the beauty trap right from the start, the Freedom Covenant is a bit unethical... Zhang Yuanqing grinned secretly.
