All My Skills Are Picked Up

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The captain pretended not to hear their conversation. He quickly led the way. They, the leading soldiers, did not dare to get involved in the conflicts between deacons. Generally speaking, deacons had a much higher status than city guards. Not to mention them, even the Lord Guardian had to be respectful when facing deacons. Especially a Level 4 deacon like Lo Tian, his status was enough to be on equal footing with a city lord of an ordinary city. A mere Guardian really had to grovel before Lo Tian.    

    

The town was not large. Lo Tian followed the captain of the guards and walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the so-called Guardian Mansion. This House of Guardians really did not have any imposing manner. There were not even two stone lions at the entrance. The house was also very old, as if it hadn't been renovated for seven or eight years. The door was quite big, but unfortunately, there were very few buildings inside. The moment he entered, he first went to the interrogation hall, which made Lo Tian think that he had gone the wrong way.    

    

According to the captain of the guards, this town's guardian residence was not only the residence of the guardian lord. Outside was also the office. Generally speaking, the Lord Guardian was in charge of all the affairs in the town. From the old hen to the old mother being killed, to the old hen being caught, to the old mother being killed... The Guardian grabbed them all. When he had nothing to do, he still had to deal with his family. Which family's wife went out to steal his hair? He had to care. He had to take care of which husband was abused by his wife. In short, he was extremely busy.    

    

But today, in the interrogation hall, other than a few guards, no one else could be seen. Lo Tian felt puzzled, but he did not say anything. He followed the captain of the guards into the side hall, and only then did he see the Lord Guardian pacing back and forth anxiously. There was also a deacon sitting beside him, quietly sipping tea.    

    

"Aiyo, it's finally here. Welcome the two deacons!"    

    

The Lord Guardian was a thin old man wearing a simple official robe. Without a martial robe, he should be a civil servant who did not know martial arts. Lo Tian nodded and said, "I am Level 4 deacon Lo Tian."    

    

Fatty Zhang followed and said, "Level 5 deacon, Zhang Yi."    

    

The guardian cupped his fists and said, "I am Qi Chu, the local guardian. This is the deacon who arrived last night."    

    

The deacon who was sipping tea finally slowly put down his teacup. This person was around the age of 25 or 26. He was a little older than Lo Tian and the others. Looking at his deacon robe, it was actually a Level 4 deacon. Seeing Lo Tian and Fatty Zhang looking over, this deacon slowly said, "My name is Chu Xun, you can just call me Deacon Chu. My master is Lord Level 2 deacon Light Fruit. If you know the ropes, you should know my master's name. Recently, I need to set some decent mission records so that I can participate in this year's executive meeting. So, the two of you, leave this mission to me. I apologize for offending you!"    

    

Deacon Chu lazily cupped his fists and cupped his hands. It was obvious that he was trying to offend them. Lo Tian's eyes turned cold. Fatty Zhang had directly provoked him.    

    

"If you want to let me go, then let me go. Who do you think you are? He had seen clearly that it was his father who had accepted the mission. You want to snatch this old man's mission? Your ass is itching!"    

    

Deacon Chu's face instantly turned red from the scolding.    

    

Lo Tian also cupped his fists and said, "This brother of mine speaks frankly, and he has also offended you."    

    

Deacon Chu slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Two little brats, you dare to mess with me? Look clearly, this lord is a Level 4 deacon, get the hell out of here."    

    

Lo Tian took a step forward and said, "You also saw clearly, Level 4 deacon, who isn't?"    

    

Deacon Chu suddenly choked. Just now, he really did not care what Lo Tian said. Originally, when he saw Lo Tian and Fatty Zhang's young and tender faces, he instinctively thought of Fatty Zhang and Lo Tian as Level 5 deacon. Especially since Fatty Zhang was wide and took up a lot of vision, so Deacon Chu's gaze had always been on Fatty Zhang. It was only at this moment that he saw that Lo Tian had also passed on the Level 4 deacon robe.    

    

Deacon Chu immediately replied, "Impossible. Such a young Level 4 deacon, who are you trying to fool?"    

    

Lo Tian slowly took out his Level 4 deacon token and said, "Open your eyes wide and take a closer look."    

    

Deacon Chu stared at Lo Tian's deacon card. He looked like he had just eaten a dead rat, his expression was strange. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said, "It really is a Level 4 deacon. Alright, Deacon Lo, count me in. But I really need this mission. Why don't we compete fairly? "    

    

When Guard Qi heard this, he hurriedly went forward and said," Yes, yes, fair competition. Everyone is here for the mission. Your heart is tied to the people. It is a great love. You must not hurt your relationship because of this. I can add some rewards for you guys. I will not let you guys come for nothing. How about it?"    

    

Lo Tian and Fatty Zhang finally calmed down a little when they heard the money was added. The two "paupers" only showed good expressions when they heard about money.    

    

They nodded and sat down slowly. Deacon Chu also silently sat back down and continued to drink tea.    

    

Guard Qi finally let out a sigh of relief, then lightly coughed and said, "Three deacons, then I will first tell you about the situation. Sigh, the three deacons really came a little too late. From the moment the mission was released until now, at least seven people have died in Ten Mile Town."    

    

Fatty Zhang said loudly," Seven people? None of them were able to catch the murderer? "    

    

Guard Qi nodded and said, "Yes. And these were only the seven people who found the corpse. Including those who went missing in the past few days, I'm afraid there are more than ten of them."    

    

Lo Tian's heart skipped a beat. With such a person dead, no wonder the people on the streets were so afraid. Fatty Zhang also whispered in Lo Tian's ear, "Mr Lo, if he dies and takes people away like this, it must not be just a three-star mission. This mission is estimated to be four stars higher. If we complete it. Maybe we can get a promotion reward."    

    

Lo Tian nodded slightly. The so-called star raising reward was the mission that he had completed that did not have a high star rating. However, after the mission report was confirmed by Martial Tower that the mission difficulty was very high, they were given the Star Rise reward. After that, the Star Rise reward was given. This kind of reward was usually even more than normal high-star missions. Lo Tian roughly understood why Deacon Chu in front of him had to snatch their mission. The door of love was here!    

    

Fatty Zhang looked at the calm Deacon Chu and also slightly grinned, saying in a low voice, "This old brat must have known about it a long time ago. Mr Lo, we have to finish it before him. I don't think this old man has any real ability. He won't be able to get our mission reward."    

    

Lo Tian nodded and asked," Is the cause of death the same? All of them have black devil Qi? "    

    

Guard Qi nodded and said, "Yes, yes. All of them were the same. When the corpse appeared, its body was deathly pale, and it had lost all its blood. Its body was covered in black devilish energy. Most of the time it was discovered was in its own room during the day. There were traces of damage to the doors and windows. According to his calculations, its cultivation base was at least at the martial practitioner level. The deceased were all young people, and so were the missing ones. The elderly and children who live by the side are safe and sound."    

    

Lo Tian heard this and exchanged glances with Fatty Zhang. He said softly," Blood Devil. "
