Cunning, suspicious.
This is what Ren has long known about the nature of the werewolf family.
Even if Ilubek hadn't warned him to be careful when he went out, he would have guessed that Bazel must be waiting for him somewhere outside.
This former "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunter" now has his combat power at rock bottom, and any enemy may pose a fatal threat to him.
Therefore, he will definitely be extremely cautious to prevent his whereabouts from being leaked.
In the laboratory before, apart from Irubek, who Bazel was sure would not reveal his whereabouts, there was another outsider.
That's Wren.
... .
There are rusty pipes everywhere in the dark alley.
In the bottom area of Mechanical City, which has been hidden from light all year round, the squeaking sounds of rats and the leaking sounds of steam pipes are particularly clear.
Ren stood there, stroking an ice crystal in his hand, and then shouted toward the depths of the deserted alley: "Mr. Barzel, come out."
The tone was very firm, the expression was very calm, and it sounded very bluffing.
It's not that he discovered anything, it was just a test. A legendary and strong man, he is still a werewolf who is good at ultimate and stealth. Even if he falls after advancing, it is definitely not something that a novice like Ren can detect.
After a few quiet breaths, as expected, an indifferent response came from a dark place.
"Oh? You already knew I was waiting for you?"
As the sound gradually approached, a burly figure gradually walked out of the darkness.
Looking closely at the appearance, who is Bazel if not [White Wolf]
... .
"Yes, Teacher Ilubek told me to go out and say hello to you."
Ren responded with a calm expression, but in fact he was extremely nervous.
Even though he had beaten up the legend before, he didn't dare to look down upon him at all.
This kind of legendary boss was once a top figure who stood at the top of the two great empires. It is impossible without some trump cards in his hand.
Even though his combat power was limited by the [Silver Sacred Artifact], Ren felt that it would be easy for him to kill him.
Therefore, he chose to "snake the snake in the grass" and immediately declared his relationship with Ilubek.
This guy must have planned to assassinate him quietly.
... ..
"oh?"
Sure enough, when Bazel heard this, the murderous intent in his eyes stopped for a moment.
He looked at Renn up and down with suspicion, with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "Are you a disciple of Dr. Irubek?"
After a pause, he asked with a suspicious tone: "Haha, the doctor actually accepts new apprentices?"
Apparently, he didn't believe it.
"..."
When Ren heard this, he suddenly felt that Ilubek might have some hidden agenda when he made it so difficult for him to get started.
But he also knew that this relationship alone was not enough to stop the cunning werewolf in front of him from killing people and silencing them.
Kill yourself now to prevent future troubles. Even at the risk of being held accountable by Irubek, that guy probably wasn't willing to take the risk of his whereabouts being leaked.
... ..
Of course, Bazel originally planned to assassinate Renn silently, but now his whereabouts have been revealed.
But, there is no difference.
He felt that even if he offended Ilubek, this kid must be killed.
... ..
Renn guessed what Bazel was thinking at this moment.
Therefore, before the other party could take action, he directly dropped a bombshell: "The teacher told me about your injury, and I... can just solve the hidden danger of the [Silver Sacred Artifact] in your body!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Bazel's expression suddenly changed.
"What! Can you fix the wounds in my body?"
Bazel was ecstatic at first, but his rationality suddenly calmed him down. He squinted his eyes and a cold light shot out: "Haha... Boy, are you trying to delay time?"
When he thought about it, even if the kid in front of him was really a disciple of Dr. Irubek, your teacher said he was "hopeless". How dare you say that he could be saved
The only explanation is that he wanted to delay time and look for opportunities to survive.
While speaking, Bazel looked around, but did not find a third person following him, which made him very confused.
But even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he was unwilling to give up.
Otherwise, if you really want to kill someone, you won’t beep much at all.
He will wait for Ren's next explanation. If he is not satisfied, he will kill him immediately!
Renn was so overwhelmed by Bazel's domineering aura that his scalp went numb.
Without saying any nonsense, he directly raised his hand, revealing the silk thread lingering between his fingers, and said: "I am an extraordinary surgeon, and this is my unique extraordinary ability. I used this ability just now, from you A 'fine needle' was peeled off from the body..."
"you... "
With Bazel's eyesight, how could he not see the tiny silver needle in the steel thread
This ghost thing has tortured him for so long. If cutting off his arms and flesh could solve this hidden danger, he would do it without hesitation. It's a pity that those tiny needles are densely piercing every inch of the meridians, leaving no one able to do anything about it.
But how on earth did this kid do this, a thin needle that couldn't even be removed with precision medical equipment
Even if he has mastered the state of mind that remains calm despite the landslide, Bazel, the legendary figure, can't help but feel a little anxious at this moment, asking: "How on earth did you... do it?!"
The murderous intent in Bazel's eyes was instantly covered by the divine light of hope. This was the only hope he saw that could keep him alive and return him to the top!
At this moment, he truly believed that the young man in front of him was truly capable of resolving the injuries of the [Silver Sacred Artifact].
... ..
Seeing Bazel's eager expression, Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "This is my unique extraordinary ability. As for how to do it... you will know if I try it again."
He emphasized again that this was a "unique skill", lest the werewolf's head suddenly twitched and he did something unthinkable.
"oh?"
When Bazel heard this, he obviously agreed.
But he didn't rush to let Ren try it. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
His suspicious nature prevents him from trusting someone so easily. Instead, he asked: "If I want you to help me treat him, what do you want?"
The timing of this young man's appearance was so coincidental that one had to wonder if he had an ulterior motive.
The more you talk to strong people, the less careful you can be.
If you want something, just throw out your chips and make the conditions clear is the best choice.
Therefore, Renn directly stated his purpose and said: "I will treat your injuries, but I also need you to protect my safety for a period of time."
"hehe."
Hearing this, Bazel sneered and said sadly: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Obviously, he also guessed that Ren was interested in his former strength and wanted to threaten him with medical treatment. He probably wanted to sign some kind of "slave contract".
When the time comes, wouldn't it be ridiculous that one of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters" would become this kid's thug
"Afraid."
These words sounded murderous, but Ren was very calm.
He was certain that Bazel would never give up this only opportunity.
He added: "My teacher has just told you that your injury cannot be solved by the entire medical community. Only I know this secret method. If you don't want me to treat it, we can just go our separate ways."
Don't be afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot.
Having lost the only chance to solve the [Silver Sacred Artifact], Bazel will die sooner or later!
Ren was very sure that if he really wanted to bet his life, Bazel would definitely not bet his life with an unknown person.
... ..
"Haha, do you think I will let you go if you know my whereabouts?"
When Bazel heard this, he sneered again and again, his eyes stern as if he wanted to cut Renn into pieces with a thousand knives.
Of course Ren knew he couldn't leave.
He directly stated all the conditions and said: "After all, you are a powerful legendary transcendent. I only need you to protect my safety when necessary. Of course, for this we can sign an 'equal employment contract' in advance. I think this shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”
"You really dare to think that you want me, Bazel, to be your bodyguard."
After hearing the "equal employment contract", Bazel's eyes became a little subtle. Although he was still tough in his mouth, he was already weighing the pros and cons in his heart. If that's all it is, it's still within the acceptable range.
Ren was noncommittal and didn't speak.
Bazel knew that he had something to ask for, so he was already at a disadvantage at the beginning of the negotiation, and in the end he was the only one to give in.
After pondering for a long time, he asked tentatively: "If you can really pull out the tiny needle in my body, I will protect you for free. But this contract... how long do you plan to sign it?"
Thinking about it, Bazel's employment period would certainly not be short. Absolutely no one would give up such a good opportunity to raise the price from the ground up. He had even made a mental plan for ten or eight years.
But what he didn't expect was that Renn said a very short time limit: "Three years."
"Three years?"
Bazel's expression was slightly strange.
For their long lifespan as werewolves, three years is not a long time.
He took a look at Ren and suddenly felt that this young man was somewhat unpredictable.
"Yes, three years."
Ren nodded and confirmed again, "I need you to do your best to protect my safety during these three years."
It's not that he doesn't want to say more, if possible, he really wants to sign a slave-selling contract with this werewolf for generations.
But he knew that was impossible. Doing so would only anger a legendary powerhouse.
When people see hope, they will wholeheartedly abide by the contract.
Otherwise, even if Bazel temporarily agrees, he may cause some trouble in the future. The so-called contract will only become a time bomb.
... .
Bazel knew that the other party had guessed that he would definitely not kill anyone, so he stopped pretending to be cold.
Moreover, this boy is also very aware of current affairs and does not make any excessive demands.
In transactions with a magic contract, you are not afraid of the other party playing tricks.
He agreed: "I can agree to sign a three-year contract as a hired guard. But the contract must state that I am only responsible for protecting your safety and will not help you with other things."
In this way, the content of the contract is limited, and it is a bodyguard, not a thug who kills and sets fire.
Renn agreed: "Okay!"
Two honest and straightforward people settled the terms of the deal in just a few words.
At this time, Bazel said again: "Before signing the contract, let me see your healing ability first."
"no problem."
Ren quietly put away the ice crystal in his hand, then walked over and placed a little hand on Bazel's arm.
The silver needles in this guy's body are so densely pierced that they can be easily pulled out with a "Gang Thread".
Looking at the silver needle between Ren's fingers, Bazel's eyes became brighter and brighter, "It's really possible!"
He asked expectantly: "How long will it take for you to completely resolve the needle problem in my body?"
Unexpectedly, Renn shook his head and said, "I don't know. Half a year, a year, maybe more..."
"have no idea?"
Bazel, who was so excited, immediately frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"As you can see, I am still an [Awakened Person] who has just entered the extraordinary realm."
Ren said: "I am still very weak now, and the efficiency of extracting silver needles is not high. Moreover, because the number of silver needles in your body is dense now, I can easily extract it. But if the number of silver needles in your body decreases later, I think It will take more and more time to extract... So, I can't guarantee when I can completely extract it."
This is why Rennes only proposed a three-year contract.
As long as the acupuncture problem is not eliminated, it is absolutely impossible for Bazel to leave.
After three years, you can still renew the contract.
... .
When Bazel heard this, he fell into deep thought. What this boy said was indeed the truth.
In the blink of an eye, he asked: "How can your 'vindictive thread' improve the healing efficiency?"
Renn: "If the fighting spirit is strong enough, more gang threads can be formed."
Bazel was also cunning and asked, "Can others practice your secret technique?"
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but extraordinary beings with strong fighting spirit can be found everywhere.
"Probably not."
Ren had already expected it, and without waiting for the other party to be suspicious, he took out the secret method without hesitation and said: "I can show you the secret method formula."
He was certain that others might covet this secret technique. But in front of me is a "Top Ten Legend" who has a complete set of "Seventy-two Legendary Divine Generals Sequence" inheritance!
What's more, if it's not a "combat doctor sequence", it would be useless to give this skill away.
"..."
After reading the exercise instructions, I didn’t stop.
The well-informed Bazel also gave up.
He had long guessed that since this technique was the only secret technique that could resolve the injuries in his body, how could it be easy to practice
"'Condensing Qi into Gang'... is really a fantastic secret technique. If what I expected is true, it is an exclusive skill of the legendary sequence."
Bazel clicked his tongue in surprise, but he was even more curious. He turned to stare at Ren and asked: "There is no shortcut for anyone to practice this level of micro-control of fighting spirit. How did you learn it?"
Renn: "I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm gifted."
"..."
Although this is a bit cheeky, it is also the only reasonable explanation. The difficulty of getting started with many exercises does vary from person to person, otherwise there would be no such thing as talent.
The "gifted" doctor apprentice in front of him is the best and only choice.
Bazel immediately gave up the idea of relying on himself or finding someone else to practice this technique to speed up the treatment progress.
He turned to ask: "Boy, what breathing method are you practicing now?"
Renn took out the breathing technique again and said frankly: "Knight of the Holy Shield breathing technique."
Bazel's face darkened as he looked at it: "Black iron level?"
Renn: "Yes."
"Fuck, such a low-level breathing method, when will you have to practice it until you advance to it?!"
Bazel was angry: "Forget it, what extraordinary route do you want to take? I will think of a way for you..."
"Qigong master."
After Ren heard this, he knew his purpose was done.
He had already expected that if the emperor was not in a hurry, the eunuch would be too.
In order to heal his injury as soon as possible, this werewolf would definitely take the initiative to help him improve his strength.
This is also the main reason why Ren took the risk to contact Bazel and sign a guard contract.
In three years, with his "intelligent brain", he was able to take out too many things from Bazel, one of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters"...
