Ron remained calm in his heart, but had a surprised look on his face:
"How does the dean know?"
Wosbaits smiled and stroked his beard twice, "Some kind of mark was placed on your body. It seems to be a kind of shadow fighting skill."
Ron's pupils shrank and he touched his body, as if he had been shocked and acted subconsciously, as if he had exchanged [Method Acting Possession Card] from System Shop, a set of vivid little moves.
"On my way to the academy today, I felt that there was danger approaching, but in the end nothing happened..." Ron frowned and said to himself, "I also checked my body, but I didn't find anything strange about me. I just thought I was being targeted."
In fact, Ron had known for a long time that the system also provided a way to eliminate the mark, but Ron deliberately kept it in order to let the dean or others find it.
"The marks on your body should be at the level of a Tier Six soldier. It's normal if I don't find any." Wosbaits leaned against the back of the sofa, his tone and expression very relaxed.
"Tier Six!?" Ron had a frightened expression on his face, "Who is going to deal with me? They won't send Tier Six's assassins..."
Wosbaits looked at Ron and said with a half-smile on his face, "His Royal Highness Ron seems to have not realized a problem yet."
"What's the problem?"
"You are now a favored one by God."
"Uh..." Ron didn't respond, "What happened to the God's Favored One?"
Wosbaits saw that he really had no idea, and felt a little dumbfounded, so he had to explain in a little detail:
"Generally speaking, gods are in a state of 'sleep' most of the time, and they may not pay attention to human affairs for hundreds of years."
"Only when you feel very pure pious faith, you will occasionally respond. This is the origin of various miracles in history."
"However, not every miracle will result in the appearance of a favored one."
"Unless the devout believers are really close to each other, or for other reasons we don't know, the gods will select a believer to be his favored one while sending miracles."
"I can count the number of uncertain gods' favored ones in the entire continent on two hands, and they are even rarer than the legendary ones."
"The three major sects of the Human Empire are intertwined. Church of the God of War relied on Emperor Andre's identity as a favored one by God to secure its position as the first sect of the human race and continues to this day."
"Now that you have become Favored One of the Goddess of Harvest, and the other two sects have not, what do you think will happen?"
Although Disode Magic Academy strictly adheres to neutrality, it is not indifferent to foreign affairs.
Wosbaits served in the Human Empire army when he was young and is very familiar with the struggles between sects.
After becoming the dean of the college, the information channels at his disposal suddenly increased, which allowed him to learn many previously unknown secrets, and he also gained a higher understanding of the situation on the mainland.
Therefore, he talked eloquently in front of Ron and said these things that could be inferred with just a little thought.
Ron immediately got a headache after listening to the dean's analysis.
He had previously thought that it was just an intrigue between princes, thinking that he was just an unpopular mixed-race prince and would not be targeted, so he sent the Tier Six assassin to assassinate him.
But after being reminded by the dean, he realized how troublesome his newly acquired status as a favored one was.
"So this is probably an assassin sent by Church of the God of War or Church of the God of Healing?" Ron asked.
"Who knows? Maybe it's a big noble closely related to the sect, or maybe other races are secretly involved, or even Church of the Goddess of Harvest plans to direct and act on his own?" Wosbaits shrugged, "However, you have only been a favored one for a day, and this news is definitely limited to Chaos City. Those who can get this information from the outside world must be some big forces."
"Of course, the person sent to assassinate you is definitely not one of their own. Most likely, they have put a reward on some assassination organization."
"A bounty that can attract level six assassins shows that the amount of the bounty is very attractive."
Ron fell silent, thought for a moment, and then said, "Since the news that I have become a favored one is still limited to Chaos City, even if there are forces outside that can quickly learn the news, it will take more time to send people or invite assassins from outside."
"So, is there any assassination organization in Chaos City?"
"Of course." Wosbaits nodded and patted his greasy magic robe, "Chaos City's assassination organization, strictly speaking, there is no one, but I know what you mean. If someone really offers a reward for you, it must be Wild Rose."
"Wild Rose?"
"Well, this organization cannot be regarded as an assassination organization. At most, it is a platform that provides information and tasks. It does not have the function of assassination itself." Wosbaits introduced, "Anyone can apply to become an assassin in Wild Rose, and then accept relevant tasks there, and earn the reward amount after completing it."
"Similarly, anyone can release tasks in Wild Rose. According to the difficulty of your task, Wild Rose will charge corresponding commissions and ignore other things."
Ron After listening to the dean's introduction, he immediately understood.
This is a middleman.
"If your head really appears on Wild Rose's bounty mission, you have to be careful." Wosbaits kindly warned, "The upper limit for the mission on it is ten people, so in addition to the assassin who put the mark on you, there may be other assassins targeting you."
Ron looked stern, finally understanding why the three assassins were wary of each other.
It turned out that I was competing for a mission...
Or is it a head grab?
Ron clicked his tongue and thanked the dean.
"Dean, take a look at this matter..."
"Ahem." Wosbaits interrupted Ron and said calmly, "This is His Highness Ron's own matter, and it may involve internal affairs of the empire. As the dean of the Disode Magic Academy, I will not interfere in it."
"We are also partners after all." Ron continued shamelessly, "If something happens to me, there will be problems with our cooperation."
"Well, if this kind of thing really happens, I feel sorry for it." Wosbaits said seriously, "So please be careful, Your Highness Ron, and take care of yourself."
"..."
This official accent is really perfect... Ron has a toothache and knows that this won't work.
"I understand... Let's talk about another thing." Under Wosbaits's surprised eyes, Ron quickly changed the topic, as if he did not intend to continue to struggle with this issue.
"I think you seem to like the Nether Orchid just now. This kind of Nether Orchid is very rare and precious even in our store. If you are interested, I can keep this kind of flower for you in the store in the future."
Wosbaits didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard that it was related to the divine Nether Orchid, his eyes suddenly showed a heart-beating look.
Street Diary: I have been writing all afternoon... I originally wanted to talk to Shui Shuiqun...
