To be honest, Gao Wen was quite surprised to see Amber capture someone alive. He probably wouldn't have been so surprised if he saw this scene an hour ago, but since the Shadow Master was slapped by a bank salesman named My little pony, he has no hope for her combat effectiveness. Rather than letting this guy go out to stand guard, it is more like letting an alarm be released...

After all, Amber's shadow skills are indeed very powerful. It should be fine to find an assassin spy or something and call the police... But who thought that she would capture one of them alive?

While Amber caught the man back, another burst of rapid footsteps also sounded outside the study. Then Knight Byron pushed the door and rushed in: "Sir, what's going on here?"

He was originally responsible for guarding the gate below, but the roof was really moving, so he was alarmed.

As for Melita's visit before... Amber was knocked away as soon as she met, and there was no big deal.

"It's okay, just a little thief, he's already caught," Gowen waved his hand at Byron, "Just go back and guard it, it won't be peaceful tonight."

Byron looked into the study with a little confused, and saw the smug Amber and the stalker lying on the ground, but in front of the order, the middle-aged knight nodded: "Yes."

"How did you catch the person?" After the Byron Knight left, Gao Wen looked at Amber unexpectedly, "Win it?"

"What does your expression mean?!" Amber was quite dissatisfied with Gao Wen's reaction. "My ability to fight head-on is a little worse, but it is not that bad as no one can beat it. I used to kill a monster you called the 'distortion'..."

Gao Wen continued to stare at her.

"Of course, it's mainly because of this guy's stupid," Amber really had some other words, "I might win when I fight head-on, and I insisted on showing off my shadow step with me. I kicked out of the shadow state. The spirit fluctuated between the shadow world and the material world, and I fainted."

Gao Wen looked at the other party in surprise, thinking that only you, the monster, could do such a savage and rough operation.

Shadow Step is the signature skill of the stalker. Basically, those who rely on this industry all have the ability to "shadow Walk" with one or two hands. However, the shadow walk of ordinary people is not the same as the unreasonable ability of Amber, and it can even be said to be completely two skill trees. A normal stalker can only temporarily invisible in the material world and shuttle between the material world and the shadow world (magics call it "shadow critical"). This is an extremely dangerous skill, just like dancing on the tip of a knife, paying attention to precision and caution, because once you step wrong, you may fall to the side of the shadow and then be torn to pieces by the indescribable things in the shadow world. And Amber... God knows what her ability is.

Usually, stalkers only need to focus on their own steps. As long as they do not take a wrong step, they don’t have to worry about falling into the shadow. Because "Shadow Walking" is also called the lonely road. Every stalker knows that no matter how smart the shadow master is, he cannot step into the steps of other people’s shadows. Therefore, as long as he is a skilled stalker, he can be familiar with this kind of "dance on the tip of a knife", but that is the general situation...

When you are dancing on the tip of the knife, a monster with a combat power of up to 1.5 suddenly pops up next to you, and it will be different if you kick you.

At this time, Amber was still smugly: "It was interesting at that time. This guy put on a particularly stupid position, and then suddenly entered the shadow form-but I saw him walking to me with a waist and slashing with a knife. I pretended not to see him. When he stood on the edge, I kicked him..."

Rebecca didn't mean to pay attention to Amber, but instead squatted beside Gao Wen to check the uninvited guest: "Can't you be unable to wake up?"

Gao Wen shook his head: "It's hard to say that a normal person is hit by the critical moment of the shadow, and he will become an idiot even if he doesn't die."

While speaking, the stalker stumbled on the ground suddenly twitched and then woke up leisurely.

If it were under normal circumstances, a trained stalker would continue to pretend to be dead at this time, and would seamlessly control his heartbeat and breathing, making it impossible for the bystanders to notice it at all. However, the impact he had just suffered in the critical state of the shadow made the professional unable to control himself. When he realized that the situation was wrong, he had already looked at each other with Gao Wen.

The young man's expression was a little dull, as if what was happening in front of him was a bit too unexpected. Then he was about to bite the poison hidden in his mouth and commit suicide, but found that the poison in his mouth had been taken away at some point.

He had no choice but to shut up his mouth and say nothing.

"What's your name?" "What's the purpose?" "Who sent you?"

Gao Wen asked the other party several questions in a row, but he received no response at all, and the other party seemed to be deaf.

Amber took out his little dagger and quickly turned around in his hand: "Do you want to torture me? Although I am not very professional, I still saw some practical operations when I was in the dungeon and stole things..."

Rebecca was confused: "What did you steal into the dungeon?"

"You don't understand this, right?" Amber was doing popular science proudly. "Many prisoners have to hide their belongings from prisoners in the corners of the dungeon first. They have to wait until shifts to transport things away, otherwise they will be discovered by the patrol officer or lord - I will take advantage of that time..."

"Don't think about it, torture is useless," Gao Wen interrupted Amber's sarcasm, "The Royal Shadow Guard, who is specially trained to do things for the king, is considered the elite among the elite. In addition to various special combat skills, his willpower is also very powerful. It's really a pity that you can catch such a master by chance. When you go back, you can blow your way in the tavern for more than half a year."

As he said that, he looked down at the young man who was showing a surprised expression: "But when I was alive, the Royal Shadow Guard was just a personal bodyguard. At most, he was responsible for detecting information in extreme environments. Why has the Royal Shadow Guard fallen to the point of stealing the catastrophe in seven hundred years?"

The captured Shadow Guard looked at Gao Wen in shock, but before he could speak, Gao Wen continued, "You want to ask me how I can see your identity?"

Yingwei nodded slightly.

"Nonsense, the name I personally set for you back then, and your first version of the training system," Gao Wen patted the Face Guard's face, "I am the instructor of the first generation of Royal Face Guard!!"

Amber stared at Gao Wen's nearly two meters tall figure in a daze: "Are you a knight... going to be an instructor for the stalkers? Do you teach them to sneak?"

Gao Wen smiled slightly: "No, I will teach them physical training and two-handed swordsmanship."

Amber was confused: "Why do stalkers need to learn two-handed swordsmanship?!"

"Of course, kill all witnesses when they are discovered on the mission."

"As a stalker, isn't it equivalent to being discovered while performing a mission? "

"No, for Ansu's stalker, stealth is discovered as the beginning of the mission... But the current one seems to have not completed those training courses well. It is also possible that seven hundred years have passed, and the courses I left behind that year have been eliminated because of their outdatedness?"

The Shadow Guard lying on the ground suddenly looked painful - it turned out that those hellish training courses were left by the person in front of him...

Although seven hundred years have passed, all courses have been updated and replaced for countless rounds, only the courses that are regarded as basics are not fundamentally replaced even if they are modified. Physical training and two-handed swordsmanship are the two.

When he saw the change of expression on Yingwei's face, Gao Wen knew that the courses in his memory seemed to be still there...

"It was Francis II who sent you here?" He looked at the young man on the ground and showed a kind smile. "But I think that the king should not be so confused that everyone in half of the kingdom knows that I sent an assassin to assassinate me in the case of the capital, so the order he gave you should be surveillance?"

The Shadow Guard still didn't say a word.

"But he should remind you to stay away. After all, this is a huge risk. Even if the Cecil family declines, Gowen Cecil does not decline with you. So are you too confident... or have you not obeyed the order?"

The Shadow Guard finally said the first sentence: "If you have a humiliating mission, you will die, so you don't have to worry."

"Get the hell!" Gao Wen slapped the other person in the face, "It's such a long time of comfort, and he's so degenerated?!"

Yingwei looked at Gao Wen with confusion, as if he didn't know what the other party meant.

"What is the Royal Shadow Guard doing? It is to protect the king, protect this country, and protect this land! Your duty is to deal with the evildoers who attempt to subvert this kingdom, rather than helping a confused king to monitor your founding grand duke! If you are captured on the battlefield with the enemy country, I am still a little bit of a backbone in saying this, but you are here, in my home! What nonsense about the mission you say in front of me - do you mean I intend to subvert this country, or is Gowen Cecil capture you a humiliating Ansu's dignity?! Could it be that in the hearts of Ansu people in this era, the founding grand duke and the kingdom he created have already stood opposite?!"

Faced with Gao Wenyi's serious reprimand, the young shadow guard finally felt helpless: "No...I'm not this..."

"It's okay, your opinion doesn't matter," Gao Wen interrupted him directly, then stood up, "I'm not so cautious that I'm so angry with my juniors, so you can leave now."

The young shadow guard never expected that it would be like this (it was probably all the expansion tonight that he unexpectedly). He looked at Gao Wen blankly, unable to believe what he heard.

Even the expressions on Amber and Rebecca's faces were not calm.

Gao Wen then repeated: "I said, you can leave--you still want me to send you away?"

The shadow guard slowly got up: "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I can't kill Francis II's men here, and I don't plan to take you to Silver Castle tomorrow in public--though I do want to do this, but unfortunately I'm past the age of being irritated, so I can only let you go."

Rebecca seemed to want to say something, but under Gao Wen's serious look, she forced herself to hold it back.

The shadow guard slowly moved to the window, and Gao Wen suddenly spoke before he left: "I'm not interested in telling others what happened today, so how to report to your king after going back...it depends on your own."

“…thank you for your kindness.”

Leaving such a sentence, the figure of the Shadow Guard gradually dissipated in the air.

Gao Wen curled his lips: "... Another person who walked through the window."

It was not until this time that Rebecca found the opportunity to speak: "Sir, did you really let him go?"

"Of course," Gao Wen laughed, "of course I want to let him go."

"But he doesn't need to be punished? And His Majesty the King sent someone to monitor the place, and this matter itself is OK..."

"Rebecca, remember, if you want to get greater benefits, you must look at it longer-term," Gao Wen patted Rebecca's head, "Letting a soldier is not a loss, but potential benefits are bound to be."

"Potential interest?" Rebecca blinked, "For example?"

"Depending on how the young shadow guard will report after he returns, there are only two," Gao Wen spread his hands, "either Francis II will not sleep in the middle of the night today, or from then on, there will be another... not so loyal shadow guard around him."

As he said that, he turned around and looked at the moonless night in another world.
