The two followed Earl Horn into the carriage and came all the way to a mansion in the wealthy area. The rows of villa courtyards here are mostly divided into houses by great nobles or merchants in Karentis. After all, it is the capital, so there must be a place to stay here.

After getting off the carriage and following Horn into the mansion. It was inconsistent with the name of the collector Earl in my impression. It was not filled with various rare collectibles. Except for a few rare objects, the decoration was generally the same as that of ordinary mansions, which was a very mainstream imperial capital style.

"Are you a little disappointed?" Please ask the two to sit down. Earl Horn ordered people to prepare refreshments. "The emperors are different from their own territory. Too much ostentatious personality can easily cause trouble. It is better to keep a low profile in everything..."

Zhao Qiankun didn't have the patience to talk to him: "Tell me, what should I do before I can give the wand to me?"

"It's very direct!" The Count smiled and took out the magic wand of the wheel: "I'm very curious, why are you so persistent about this thing? To be honest, the design of this thing is indeed clever, but it's just a toy."

"I'm also very curious. Why do you have to compete with me for a thing that costs up to dozens of gold coins?" Zhao Qiankun asked back: "You have so many collections, and this one is not bad!"

"I don't care about how this thing is!" Horn put the wheel wand on the table and looked at Zhao Qiankun: "The one I am really interested in is actually you!"

Zhao Qiankun raised his eyebrows: "Big Boss, I only like women..."

"Not that!" Horn's brow flashed with black lines: "When you walked into the venue, did you fight with Olaf?"

Zhao Qiankun frowned, and Horn smiled and said, "Don't refute, I'm right behind you, you can see clearly. You didn't have an invitation. You pressed Olaf to suppress Olaf before entering the venue!"

"So you want to recruit me?"

Horn waved his hand: "Olaf is the first general under Kepps, the richest man in the empire, and a top master in the fifth-level battle position. He is enough to compete with the Paladin! How can I get my master who can suppress him? I came to you mainly because I wanted you to help me do something. After the matter is done, not only will I offer this wand with both hands, but I also prepare a reward of a thousand gold coins for you. What do you think?"

Zhao Qiankun frowned, and Xue Lian on the side smiled and said, "You're so proud of him. He does have some skills, but it's still far from being better than the Paladin..." As she said that, she secretly pulled Zhao Qiankun's sleeve and signaled him not to trek into this muddy water. It's worth a reward of one thousand gold coins, which is definitely not an easy thing to do!

Zhao Qiankun touched his chin: "Let me guess. What you, a collector, want is probably some rare weapon and equipment. And the most rare thing now is the Holy Sword of Broken Steel? You won't want me to help you fight, right?"

"Awesome!" Horn pointed: "It's comfortable to talk to smart people, how about it? I think you are a master who comes to Karentis to fight the ring. Anyway, you have to fight. What's the difference between fighting by yourself or helping me?"

"Have you misunderstood something?" Zhao Qiankun was a little amused after hearing Horn's suggestion: "Have you ever thought about it, even if I really win, it is still unknown whether I can draw the holy sword! Let's take a step back, even if I pull it out, the whole world knows that I am the master of the holy sword. Then why should I use the holy sword to exchange for a magic prop that only has dozens of gold coins with you?"

Horn smiled slightly when he heard this: "First, you will never be able to pull it out; second, I have my own way to let someone draw out the holy sword! All you have to do is help me win the ring!"

"It seems you are bound to win!" Zhao Qiankun smiled: "I must be more than I am arranging the competition, right? Rou Yun, who dares to say that he is the best in the world? I can't guarantee that he will win the championship, but just try to help you get the Holy Sword! This way, I promise you to participate in the competition, not necessarily to win the championship, but you can help snipe the opponent who blocks your championship. As long as yours wins the championship in the end, you have to give me the things and the prize money, how about it?"

Horn nodded: "Reasonable advice, don't worry, as long as I get the Holy Sword and a small magic prop, I will not be able to pay my debts. Before the game, I will hand over my own list to you, and then follow my instructions to do things."

"This is easy!" Zhao Qiankun ignored Xue Lian's crazy hint and continued: "There is another point that I don't actually plan to participate in the competition, and even if I participate in the competition, I don't want to be recognized. Earl Horn has great magical powers. Is there any magic weapon that can help me hide my identity?"

Horn was slightly stunned: "This is fine!" As he said that, he called a servant and ordered a few words. The servant left the living room and soon took a small box. Horn opened the box and presented it to Zhao Qiankun, which contained a human skin mask.

"This is called a disguise mask. It is a precious magic prop. Just bring it with you and you can turn into another face and even imitate other people's appearance. However, it is just a change of appearance. You cannot change your height, body shape and voice. When you meet someone who is familiar enough, there are still many ways to see through it. However, if you just hide your true face, this is the best choice!"

Zhao Qiankun picked up the mask and put it on his face. He felt that the mask seemed to be alive, perfectly fitting his face. After several changes, it turned into another face!

"This is amazing!" Zhao Qiankun was very excited and looked up at Horn. With a thought, the mask changed and turned into Horn's appearance. Looking back at Xuelian, he also tried to imitate the mask, and the mask turned into Xuelian.

"This mask is in harmony with the wearer. Just see or recall the person's appearance and it will take effect." Earl Horn smiled and said, "It's very interesting, right? If you can help me seize the Holy Sword, this will be given to you!"

"Thank you, Count, for being generous!" Zhao Qiankun couldn't put down this thing and immediately accepted it with a smile.

After agreeing to the errand, the two left the Earl's Mansion. After they left, the bodyguard who had been standing behind Horn whispered: "Sir, do you think these two people are reliable?"

"It's not reliable, but these two people are at least not traitors!" Horn smiled and said, "That man is strong enough and has no intention of fighting for the Holy Sword. This kind of person is exactly what we need!"

After leaving the Earl's Mansion, Xue Lian pulled Zhao Qiankun into the corner: "I said you're crazy, and you're really planning to fight the ring? Do you know, this holy sword has hooked out all the fifth-level hidden folk masters. If you don't have the level of the fourth level, you may not be able to pass the pre-select!"

"If you can't pass, you can't pass. What's the point of playing a game!" Zhao Qiankun was still fiddling with the disguise mask: "What's more, there are such fun things to give, it's useless if you don't go!"

"You think the ring is a house-playing house, and that is a sign of life and death. When you meet a real master, you will be killed in seconds if you don't have the chance to beg for mercy!" Xue Lian frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid of going away forever?"

"Can you have some confidence in me?" Zhao Qiankun curled his lips and said, "I'm talking like a coward! Have you forgotten who caught the yellow beard?"

"You still remember the yellow beard!" Xue Lian said angrily: "I just lie in the hospital after grabbing a yellow beard. If you meet a real master, you won't get rid of you!"

"Then I suppressed Olaf!"

"That's why people are not moving in public!" Xuelian said angrily: "You are indeed powerful, even stronger than Alex. It's rare to have this strength at this age. But you have been wasting your talents. Do you know? If you go to the samurai major and improve your strength, I believe that you will one day obtain a fifth-level battle position and become a Paladin or even a swordsman. But now, you are not strong enough, can you listen to me, don't participate in that competition, keep a low profile, and study hard for a few years, otherwise I'm afraid you will not only be **, but also mentally hit..."

Zhao Qiankun looked at Xue Lian's worried expression and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for worrying about me, but how can you regret it if you promise someone else's business? That's it, I promise you that if I really don't have the skills this time, I will definitely follow what you said when I come back, work hard to hone my martial arts skills and never cause trouble again. What about?"

"I don't want to go next time, this time..." Xue Lian wanted to refute, but Zhao Qiankun blocked her mouth: "I said that I will never regret what I promised others! So, believe me!"

After saying that, Zhao Qiankun let go of his hand and stretched: "Okay, I have to go back and study how to use this mask, don't expose my feet then..."

Xuelian calmed down and just stared at Zhao Qiankun's back. For some reason, at that moment just now, Zhao Qiankun suddenly became reliable in her eyes. His words seemed to have a magical power, which made her believe unconditionally...

"Damn it, I don't care. Just do whatever you like! Don't say I didn't remind you if you suffer!" After that, the little girl took out a notebook and recorded it: "On November 5, 1257, the hero Zhao Qiankun refused to listen to the advice of the bard Xue Lian and insisted on participating in the brave warrior competition. After he suffered, he knew the beautiful bard's painstaking efforts..." As he wrote this, Xue Lian hesitated for a moment, crossed out the last sentence and changed it to: "I hope he can achieve an ideal result..."

After having a meal outside, the two returned to the college. After sending Xuelian back to the girls' dormitory, Zhao Qiankun walked to the men's dormitory alone. When he was about to arrive, he met an acquaintance.

"Zhao Qiankun!" A silver-haired girl walked towards her.

"Yo, Miss Maggie!" Zhao Qiankun laughed and said, "How about it, have I understood the spell?"

When the spell was mentioned, Maggie almost jumped up: "Tell me honestly, where did you get the spell?"
