August's face was extremely serious, feeling that all his strength had disappeared. Even though he had expected it in advance, he still couldn't help but be surprised.
Sword God has never seen a type of neutralization with such a thorough effect, and it is still extremely mysterious.
If it wasn't for Alva's advance notice, August might not have been able to find out.
He looked towards Noir, Noir also smiled at the Sword God.
"It seems that this person is truly a God level being."
August thought to himself.
"Sword God August must be tired after walking around all morning, right? Sit down first."
Noir said smiling. But that smile made August feel goosebumps, as if everything was seen through by him.
That's right, August had already arrived in Jelro city early in the morning, but he didn't enter Noir's store right away.
Since receiving Alva's message, he has always been surrounded by the feeling of pines and needles, as if some disaster was about to strike him.
Even though through discussions with his students, he said that Noir did not harm her, August still did not stop worrying. It was hard for him to even determine if she was brainwashed or something like that.
When he arrived here, August hid and carefully scanned the whole city. But no traces of magic were detected, nor was there any ambush. This confused the Sword God even more.
Finally, he entered the store. August thought he hid it very well, but it was basically impossible to fool this person in front of him.
How could the Sword God deceive Noir?
Because from the moment he walked in, Noir had already started the system.
[Name]: August…
[Power]: 9988 (Demigod level)
[Past]:...
[Present]:...
[Future]:...
…
Through the status panel, Noir only needs a little time to know August's entire movements. Hiding him in Jelro City is of course no exception.
As for the reason why he intentionally revealed that to August. Without making a little impression on the other person, what kind of transaction can be carried out in the future?
"Forgive me for asking, where are you from? Why do you live here in seclusion?"
However, August did not show too much obsequiousness and was careful in every detail like captain Antony before.
He is a Demigod, the organization behind him is not without God level, even has a level that surpasses God level. August can show respect, but fear will not.
Noir did not answer this question, but his attitude was enough to explain. From August's perspective, this is a God who felt bored so decided to hang out in the human world.
Although this case is rare, it has happened many times.
Noir is actually extremely dissatisfied.
Why didn't The Truth System throw him straight into the capital Akazac? Let him stay in this far-off place, if Alva didn't happen to pass by. Noir doesn't know how many months or years it will take him to earn his first 100 "Accumulations".
"This place is desolate and remote, the energy is fragile, not worthy of your position. If you wish, the Knight Association would like to offer a seat for the title of Elder Lord."
Elder Lord, the representative, is the title that carries the highest real authority of an organization, an association, a clan, a tribe, or even an entire country.
Although different organizations are not the same. But for top forces such as the Witch Association, the Knight Association or the Akazac Empire, Elder Lords mostly have to be God level to be able to take on them.
Demigods like August or Brenna, although still the mainstay of combat power, are only the mainstays of the tip of the iceberg. It is the Elder Lords, the hidden part of the iceberg, that are the true strength of an organization.
August is trying to probe Noir, but also sincerely wants him to join the Knight Association.
Noir frowned, he joined the Knight Association?
Just looking at it, you know that he and the word "knight" are half a world apart, right?
A merchant joined a group of knights, which sounds really... strange.
"Thank you for the suggestion, but please forgive me for not being able to do it. In any case, the situation of the Knight Association is not very good."
Noir smiled and said.
"What do you mean by that? I don't understand?"
August also smiled and responded. But inside he was silently panicking.
Does this person know the secrets of the Association?
And it seemed like he could read every thought of the Sword God. Noir continued speaking, as if throwing large rocks into a still lake.
"There's no need to panic, Sword God August. Haven't Alva told you yet? There's nothing in this world that I don't know."
"In the eyes of The Truth, anything will be illuminated. No matter what."
August's whole body was cold, the feeling of being seen through by the other person was not good at all. No matter if it's a secret, a thought or even a secret desire. Everything seems to be exposed to this mysterious shop owner.
Just as Noir said, the Knight Association did have a problem, a very big problem.
The Grand Elder Lord of the Knight Association is gone.
Grand Elder Lord is not just a position that can be replaced if lost, because it is linked to power. From God level onwards, power is divided into four levels.
God level, Higher God level, Chief God level, Above God level.
And the Grand Elder Lord of the Knight Association is a Chief God.
The death of the Chief God was hidden very well, even some Elder Lords in the Association did not know, so the Alva people could not know.
After eliminating all possibilities, August discovered in despair that this person in front of him simply "knew", without any intermediary tools at all.
Alva standing to the side was extremely confused.
She knew that Noir's statement "there's nothing in this world that I don't know" was a reference to August from Noir. And she didn't believe that her master couldn't see it. It's just that now August seemed like he is pondering about something so important that he can't even open my mouth to say a word.
