Heavenly Mechanism Armor
"I'll give you a million dollars. Kill the people who killed your clan leader, and kill everyone else involved!" Ye Lang's words were like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, causing huge waves to rise across the entire surface.
It wasn't just because of the huge sum of one million, but also because of Ye Lang's method. This was a method they had never seen before, and no one had ever thought of using it to kill someone who wanted to kill them.
"This..." The man in black hesitated. He had never seen this kind of commission before, and he was unsure whether it was in accordance with the rules.
"Don't worry, this won't violate any assassin's code! As long as you follow the rules, take my money, and then kill the person I want to kill, it's just a commission! I've stated the terms, I don't know if you can accept them?" Ye Lang said calmly.
"I need to discuss this with you. I'll give you an answer in a few days!" The man in black couldn't agree, not because he thought it was against the rules, but because he felt the deal was worth doing.
As an assassin, he understood this better than anyone. If you pay someone to kill you, you should be prepared that one day you might be hired to kill yourself.
Hitmen don't care about human relationships or right and wrong; they only kill for money!
Even so, this deal was so unusual that he needed to ask for other people's opinions.
"Okay, I'll be here for the next few days. However, I hope you can make a decision soon, as I will be leaving soon!" Ye Lang said.
"Alright! We'll get back to you as soon as possible! But before we leave, may I ask you a question?" asked the man in black, Shadowless Sword.
"Ask away!" Ye Lang replied casually.
"Why do you know so much about the God of Slaughter?" the man in black asked.
"She is... kind of my subordinate..." Ye Lang thought for a moment, not knowing how to describe her, so he just randomly chose an identity to say it.
"..." The man in black remained silent. He felt that the answer seemed perfunctory and should not be believed.
Forget it, maybe he's just guessing, or maybe he's only had contact with him. But whatever the case, it's impossible to get any information about the God of Slaughter from him. Besides, it doesn't seem to benefit me either; assassins never ask each other's questions.
The reason he didn't ask about Ye Lang's identity was because it wasn't necessary. Since Ye Lang was out in the open, it would be easy to find out who he was, so there was no need to waste a question.
"Goodbye!" This time, the man in black really left, disappearing from everyone's sight in a flash.
"Young Master, how is my father?" Tiger Girl asked with some worry, holding Ye Lang's hand.
Ye Lang patted Tiger Girl's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, nothing will happen as long as I'm here. Although this is troublesome to deal with, it can still be completely cured. The problem is, I need something, and I need to go and get it now."
"What is it? Young Master, just tell us and we'll definitely find it!" the Tiger Clan members said. At this moment, when they addressed Ye Lang as Young Master, they began to show some respect, and they officially began to acknowledge Ye Lang as Tiger Girl's master.
"This thing is the Heavenly Mechanism Armor..." Ye Lang looked at everyone, feeling a little embarrassed to dampen their enthusiasm.
"Heavenly Mechanism Armor?! What is that?" The Tiger Clan members were puzzled, and Athena asked directly.
Speaking of Athena, she didn't just arrive. Although she ran slower than Ye Lang, she wasn't slow either. She had already arrived when Ye Lang was talking to the man in black.
Upon hearing the conversation between Ye Lang and the man in black, Athena seemed to suddenly realize that Ye Lang could be so shrewd that he actually thought of using an assassin to deal with his employer. Although she didn't know who the employer was, he was able to launch a counterattack, something she herself never thought of.
However, this method was far too costly, costing a million gold coins, while he seemed to be spending it as if it were just a copper coin, without even blinking.
Regardless of the reason, Athena found herself growing to like Ye Lang more and more, whether he was shrewd or clumsy, she liked him, but of course, it was just liking.
"The Heavenly Mechanism Armor, isn't it the Li Family's heirloom? By the way, young master, didn't you make one yourself? Can you use it?" Tiger Girl was quite familiar with the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, but she didn't quite understand why. The Heavenly Mechanism Armor was an alchemical armor, and although it was somewhat special, it didn't seem to have anything to do with healing.
"Yes, it's the one from the Li Family! The one I made is also usable, but I've left it in the lab and am still working on it. I haven't taken it out yet..." Ye Lang continued.
"If you haven't taken it out, then it's still at the Ye Residence. And the Li Family, like the Ye Residence, is in Soaring Sky Imperial City. Young Master, this is very troublesome," Tiger Girl said with a headache. "Could you make one now?"
Ye Lang shook his head and said, "No! The materials for that Heavenly Mechanism Armor are very special. Even if you search the entire continent, you might not be able to find materials for another one. I collected most of the materials for my original one, and there are basically no more left! Making a new one is definitely more troublesome than going to the Soaring Sky Imperial City to get them! I think it's better for me to go..."
"Oh no! Going to the Xiangkong Empire now is like sending a lamb to the slaughter!! Why use the Heavenly Mechanism Armor? Isn't that an alchemical armor?" Tiger Girl asked, puzzled.
"Yes, but the Heavenly Mechanism Armor has a special feature: it can be absorbed into a person's body. If used properly, the Heavenly Mechanism Armor can absorb the Call of the Underworld God, which can not only keep the clan leader safe but also enhance the Heavenly Mechanism Armor's abilities!" Ye Lang replied.
Treating illness doesn't necessarily require medicinal herbs; it's about finding what's best suited to address the problem!
"How about I go get it, and you wait here? Anyway, I'm not important to them!" Tiger Girl thought for a moment and decided to go to Soaring Sky Imperial City in Ye Lang's place.
"You're not important to them, but you are important to your father. Even though he's frozen in ice right now, it's better for you to stay by his side and take care of him! I'll go to Soaring Sky Imperial City, no problem!" Ye Lang rejected Tiger Girl's suggestion.
Besides the reasons he mentioned, he was also worried that when he left Soaring Sky Empire, even Liu Feiyan and the others were angered by the Eighth Princess. If it were Tiger Girl, who knows what she might do.
"But you're a wanted person by the Xiangkong Empire. Wouldn't you be courting death if you went in?" Tiger Girl asked worriedly.
