The Demon Hero and the Sand Hero in the Halberd Hero Squad.
The Ice Warrior and the Flute Warrior from the Fighting Warriors team.
The Dragon Warriors team includes the [Hero of Thought], the [Hero of Thunder], and the [Hero of Medicine].
The Dragon Warrior Squad relies solely on the Dragon Warrior to absorb damage and engage in close combat, while the other three provide damage from the rear.
So, even with Lycorina included, ten hidden magic items are indeed not enough.
After leaving the room, Annie turned and headed towards the exit.
"Sword Master, don't you need to buy anything else? There are still many shops we haven't checked out," Becky asked.
“It’s necessary, but not now,” Annie said.
Five seconds later...
"That guy stole my wallet!!!" (Demon language)
A roar came from the shop, and a tall tree spirit rushed out of the shop, making a rumbling, trembling sound.
However, looking in the direction where the other person left, they found that the other person had already disappeared.
……
"Um……?"
Becky felt a sudden blur before her eyes, and everything around her changed.
Before she could figure out what was going on, An Yi put her on the ground.
An Yi didn't look at her, but instead took off her cloak and looked it over, then scanned her own clothes and said:
"Check yourselves for tree spirit seeds; they can use those to track us."
“Ah…yes!” Becky quickly did as instructed.
She didn't know what the tree spirit's seeds looked like, but she decided to pat her clothes first.
"By the way, with the Sword Master's strength, couldn't you have killed that tree spirit very easily?" Becky asked while patting her clothes.
"Do I look like a madman who would randomly kill indiscriminately?" Annie retorted.
Becky looked troubled: "Hiss...it doesn't look like it!"
She was almost killed when they first met!
Even though it was her fault.
“It will die in this city someday, but killing it is not something I want to do,” Annie said.
“But if it’s still alive, wouldn’t that leave unnecessary traces?” Becky asked.
"It was just a thief."
An Yi didn't offer much explanation.
Yes, it was just a thief, not an assassin.
Killing a tree spirit is easy, but the cannon-wielding man from before was also present.
Having killed a demon here, it's hard to guarantee that the black market merchant won't reveal things about me.
In other words, after killing the tree spirit, for the sake of caution, the cannon-headed man also has to die, and all the demons present who witnessed everything must be killed.
After killing the demons, only the two of them suddenly disappeared from the black market. By process of elimination, we can determine that they are the assassins.
Black market merchants usually have some connections, which will attract the attention of some demons who will investigate.
In contrast, taking a wallet would hardly elicit such a strong reaction.
These weren't any particularly valuable magical items, and the amount of money taken wasn't much. At most, it was just the tree spirit's impotent rage, not enough to warrant a major conflict.
If it were just An Yi alone, he could do whatever he wanted.
He would kill any demon who even glanced at him.
But now there are too many heroes involved, so he must act cautiously, otherwise every solo action could affect all the heroes operating among the demons.
He might also be wondering if he's being a little too cautious.
However... a lot of caution is actually just about trying not to do anything that could easily cause complications.
Just like before, it's simply a matter of controlling yourself from killing demons; that's not difficult.
Even in his past life, he was able to restrain his murderous intent in order to achieve his goals, and in this life, he would not act impulsively.
Walking on a road whose destination was unknown, this time An Yi was leading the way.
Becky felt a little flustered...
Sword Master, are you going to take me somewhere to be executed?!
It seems I'm no longer of any use to you!
"listen."
At this moment, An Yi suddenly spoke up;
"From this moment on, you are not allowed to report anything you know, Liu."
You decide for yourself what to say and what not to say.
If you say something you shouldn't, I'll find you and kill you no matter where you are.
"Ah...yes!" Becky's eyes were almost filled with tears.
Does that mean you won't execute me?!
“You are free now, but you are not allowed to continue investigating and monitoring our actions, understand?” Annie asked expressionlessly.
"Understood!" Becky exclaimed excitedly.
“One last thing, stop using the title ‘Sword Master’. This matter must be reported,” An Yi said.
“Yes, Master!” Becky immediately changed her form of address.
"No, that can't be used either."
“Ah…? Then…” Becky’s mind flashed through various names.
An Yi also thought about it for a while.
He didn't consider himself the master of these succubi; if anyone had to say, it was Mel.
And Mel, now that things have come to this, can he still willingly acknowledge him as his master?
"Let your leaders decide," An Yi ultimately said, without offering an answer.
“Our leader…you are our leader.” Becky looked completely bewildered.
An Yi: "Say that stupid thing again and I'll kill you."
Becky: "I'm sorry!!"
She knew that the Sword Master was referring to "Mother," but she was just pretending to be a little naive!
However, before she could say anything more, An Yi disappeared from her sight.
An Yi is now carrying a whole bunch of magical items that conceal his magic, making him even less likely to be sensed by Becky!
"Found it! It's here!" (Demon language)
At that moment, several demons dressed in black robes ran out of the direction of the black market tavern and immediately spotted Becky standing there in a daze.
"Whoa!!" Becky exclaimed in alarm, turning around and disappearing into the alley.
A few black-robed demons rushed into the alley, but bumped into several demons that had inexplicably appeared around the corner, and then started fighting with them.
With her allure and familiarity with the city, Four Becky easily escaped her pursuers.
She casually tossed her black robe into an alley and hurried toward her home.
Wu Anyi said she could report to her superiors.
Lu wanted to proudly tell her mother that she had met the Sword Master!
An Yi doesn't want her information to be obtained by others without her knowledge.
If something is unknown to us but known to the other side, it means that the other side can act first.
In fact, even now, Annie can't be sure whether Becky really didn't report it to her superiors.
But judging from the calm these past few days, at least the other side hasn't made any rash moves.
It's unavoidable that An Yi will act based on the assumption that the opponent has already made the first move.
The arrival of the Mel Organization made his task even more challenging.
On the one hand, he had to do his best to prevent the heroes' plans from going wrong, and on the other hand, he had to be wary of and test the organization led by Mel.
Thinking about how to balance all of this is something An Yi needs to put more thought into.
He was always a loner in his past life, and he has no experience in this area in this life, so it is actually a considerable challenge for him.
There are too many unknowns.
Either turn the unknown into the known, or...
It means eliminating uncertainties.
Whether it's unknown or known, the most urgent task now is to lure the other party out, which is why Annie asked Becky to report on the current situation.
The heroes entered the demon realm, carrying with them items that concealed magical power.
Should we choose to obstruct, assist, or simply stand by and watch?
Regardless of which option they choose, the other side will send people to track down the heroes.
Come out, everyone come out.
As it happens, Annie needs to find them.
Or perhaps... the other side will simply ignore the heroes and take no action?
That 7↑肆洢≥‖—_零∴綺【'中转℃ˉ群∵：样也好。
In that case, there would be no need to consider the influence of the succubus organization, and everything would return to the original plan.
