Boss, Change the Record!

"His Highness the Prince never mentioned that Princess Evelyn has a lunatic by her side..."

Xu Nan heard voices muttering.

These cloaked figures, all dressed in the same uniform, gave off a somewhat suggestive vibe, making them seem like the Sun Moon Cult from the novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and clearly not some legitimate organization.

As for the name Lucas Ghost Lantern, Xu Nan had no information about it at all in his bloodline knowledge—this put him at ease. Usually, if it were a famous person, he would have to be prepared to run away!

"You have injured our griffin; please pay for it with your life."

Without further ado, under the leader's command, the figures vanished in a flash, and several murderous intents instantly locked onto Xu Nan!

The magic carpet automatically activated its defenses, protecting Xu Nan and Evelyn inside.

Evelyn nervously tugged at Xu Nan's sleeve. "These people must be assassins sent by one of my royal brothers! City Lord Xu, if you have a way to escape, it's best not to confront them head-on!"

She was actually a mage with considerable combat power, but Xu Nan had made her vomit constantly, temporarily rendering her unable to fight.

Xu Nan remained remarkably calm. Since he dared to come down and cause trouble, he was naturally prepared for a fight.

Nonsense, this is campaign mode. How can you get the platinum chest if you don't kill a few people and rack up some merits?

However, these assassins' Stealth techniques were extremely sophisticated. They disappeared right under Xu Nan's nose, and he couldn't sense any trace of their Stealth. This was exactly the same as Song Bai's Strong Stealth Art.

Using spells like Fireball Spell to bombard these assassins is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito; their daily training probably revolves around assassinating spellcasters.

Sure enough, before Xu Nan could even make a move, the leader over there was already putting psychological pressure on Xu Nan and Evelyn.

"Our Ghost Lantern Society has returned to the world of assassination. It's not unjust that the two of you died at our hands. All twelve of my brothers have passed the most rigorous and brutal graduation test of the Assassination Academy."

"You are just two spellcasters. If you resist less, you might suffer less."

Lucas's sinister voice came through.

Xu Nan scoffed. Lucas was babbling on and on but never actually letting his men make a move. He was just afraid of his... magic carpet!

Xu Nan's least regrettable purchase in Lost Paradise was buying this genuine magic carpet, which boasts superior performance and can even aid in combat.

If it weren't for the magic carpet's defense, those two spellcasters would have been gang-raped by these barbaric thieves long ago.

Lucas's seemingly confident but ultimately nonsensical pronouncements were merely a test to probe me and gather more information.

Xu Nan, of course, wouldn't fall for his trick.

"Twelve second-tier elite assassins, plus one guy whose strength is unknown. This is a bit of a headache."

Xu Nan sighed quietly.

Evelyn's face paled. She clutched Xu Nan's sleeve tightly and whispered, "The Ghost Lantern Society was a cult that ravaged the southern part of the kingdom more than ten years ago!"

"They even colluded with local lords, causing the deaths of countless civilians. It was only after someone risked their life to deliver a message to the Royal Capital that my father ordered the extermination of the Ghost Lantern Society."

"Back then, I remember that my eldest brother personally led the team and wiped out most of the Ghost Lantern Society's forces. At that time, my eldest brother even received a lot of praise from our father for this... If that's the case, then I'm afraid the person who attacked me this time is my second brother from Southern County!"

Xu Nan asked in surprise, "Why not the Third Prince?"

Evelyn said speechlessly, "The Third Prince is the Elder Sister..." She herself felt that this was a bit awkward.

Xu Nan thought about it and realized it wasn't a big deal, but he felt things weren't that simple.

The Ghost Lantern Society is probably some random, shady organization that specializes in assassinations.

Logically, mages should be particularly afraid of assassins in the wild, let alone a group of assassins.

Xu Nan figured that this couldn't go on forever. In a little while, those male griffins would be in excruciating pain. It wouldn't do to just leave them there without eating them!

Then he suddenly shouted, startling the members of the Ghost Lantern Society who had just approached, causing them to involuntarily take half a step back!

"What are you going to do?!" Lucas frowned.

Xu Nan quickly tapped the magic carpet a few times, a confident smile spreading across his face:

"You guys wanted to see just how far my magic carpet could go, right? Well, I'll show you!"

"I'm going to show you just how powerful Stephenson's officially produced magic carpet really is!"

An uneasy atmosphere filled the air. The Stealth assassins exchanged glances and silently slipped away, looking for a more suitable opportunity to strike.

Unfortunately, while the profession of a rogue assassin is highly skilled, a failed strike often results in their own demise. Therefore, the primary principle of an elite assassin is to find ways to survive in various environments!

"Auto-battle module, activated!"

Xu Nan was full of vigor and high spirits.

Evelyn's eyes lit up with hearts.

In an instant, the magic carpet suddenly twitched violently and began to spin wildly around the two of them. At the same time, a melodious tune came from within the magic carpet:

Unforgettable Tonight

No matter the horizon or the sea

"The whole nation is united in our hearts..."

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

Xu Nan scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and frantically tapped the magic carpet. "I pressed the wrong module, this is the music module..."

The assassins looked at each other, feeling insulted at their intelligence, and prepared to try again.

However, they hadn't Stealth very far before Xu Nan's magic carpet began to change strangely again!

Rattttt!

The magic carpet automatically unfolded, enveloping the two of them as if forming an indestructible wall!

"This... is this battle mode?" Lucas Hozuki's heart skipped a beat.

None of these mortals were unafraid of Stephenson's technology. Especially in remote, impoverished areas like the Northern Continent, where even mages and traveling merchants were reluctant to venture, they had no idea just how wondrous the magic carpet's combat capabilities truly were!

This led to a bizarre stalemate in what seemed to be a favorable situation for the Ghost Lantern Society.

"Observe carefully! See what this magic carpet can actually do!"

Lucas told himself he had to stay calm. This operation had to succeed on the first try. They had already paid such a heavy price. If they failed again... the enraged head might make him mate with the female griffin!

After a group of people had been watching the magic carpet for a while, someone said in a puzzled tone, "I think I heard the sound of water."

"Is it water magic?"

"Everyone, stand back!"

It must be said that these assassins were well-trained and knew exactly how to advance and retreat.

Inside the magic carpet, the music of "Unforgettable Tonight" was still playing. Evelyn stared in disbelief at the large bathtub that had appeared before her, along with the water spraying milky white liquid, and immediately blushed.

My mind was filled with all sorts of bizarre and outlandish scenarios for children.

Mr. Xu Nan... does he still have the mood to joke around at a time like this? Or is he really hinting at something?

She glanced at Xu Nan, only to find Xu Nan staring intently at the magic carpet with a serious expression.

"Why did you press the wrong button again? Did you turn on the shower module without permission? Do you know you'll be held responsible if something goes wrong if you mess around like this?"

The magic carpet trembled.

After a while, the assassins of the Ghost Lantern Society realized that Xu Nan was playing them for a fool.

They had no idea what magical functions this magic carpet had, but they were already in a bind and had no choice but to fight to the death!

The two assassins gritted their teeth and pounced.

However, at that moment, with a bang, the smoke dissipated.

A girl carrying a shovel appeared in front of them. Facing the two second-tier fighters, the girl revealed her familiar wicked smile and, with lightning speed, knocked them down with two quick blows.

"Who are you?" The members of the Ghost Lantern Society were terrified!

The girl looked strange, dressed in bizarre black and white clothing, and wearing headphones; she was undeniably cool.

Xu Nan asked in surprise, "Who are you? Where's my Tom?"

That's right, he just delayed for so long in order to summon A Tang Jie!

There was no way around it; he was a warlock, Evelyn, and a mage, and the two of them were simply no match for more than a dozen burly men. After all, not every mage is Jiang Yuanchi.

Now that things have come to this, the best solution Xu Nan can think of is to summon A Tang, so that he can safely deal damage with a super tank in front of him!

Summon Familiar takes time, especially when traveling from Earth to another world. Although the Familiar Contract is still valid, it takes even longer, which is why that ridiculous farce happened just now!

The girl in front of me, while her black and white outfit is certainly right... the problem is, my magical pet is a panda!

The girl glanced at Xu Nan disdainfully and ran over.

For a moment, Xu Nan felt a little nervous.

"Boss, change the disc, your song is too old." The panda girl skillfully operated the magic carpet.

Not long after, the classic nostalgic style suddenly changed:

"The sun is rising, yo-yo!"

The land is wide, come on, ee-yo-wei

The water meanders at the foot of the green hills

"Twists and turns eighteen times..."

The panda girl, carrying a shovel, also started shaking it.

Xu Nan looked at the shovel and the bamboo stick tucked into her waistband, and finally guessed what was going on. He said in a hoarse voice, "You... you are A-Tang?"

A-Tang puffed out his chest and said, "What? Can't I even take human form? Although it's forbidden to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my kind of national treasure has been specially approved."

"By the way, you had griffin meat to eat when you summoned me just now, really?"

Xu Nan pointed to a group of griffins that had lost their dreams. "Kill these assassins..."

Clang! Clang!

With lightning speed, Tom caught the Stealth assassins one by one, either knocking them unconscious with a single swing of a shovel or skillfully digging holes and burying them alive.

Their level of skill was heartbreaking... I feel sorry for the assassins of the Ghost Lantern Society.

Lucas remained silent throughout.

"Is this your trump card?" A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"Trump card? No, it isn't."

Tom shoveled the shovel into the ground, then casually pulled out a portal and placed it there, inserting it as he went:

"I didn't expect you to be so popular, boss. You were captured by the evil dragon and forced to have sex with him, yet so many people gathered to come and rescue you."

"Please wait a moment, they all want to check on your safety themselves..."

Before the words were even finished, the activated portal began to pour people into this direction.

The first to fall were Lü Junyi and Shi Fanglin. The two brothers naturally embraced Xu Nan upon seeing her. After a moment, Lü Junyi looked at Evelyn beside him, puzzled, and whispered in Xu Nan's ear:

"Brother, is this what a dragon looks like? Did you lose control?"

...!
