Chapter 44: Oriental Dancer

Pearl of the Desert.

This is a city very close to the eastern world, and it is also the border point of the Death Desert. From here, continue to the east and enter the scope of the Death Desert. It is a very dangerous place, and it is also a gathering place for the believers of the God of Death-Naraku. There are many priesthoods in the field of death, but the most evil ones are undoubtedly the believers of the God of Death-Naraku. This ancient god is known as the enemy of good, the hater of life, the messenger of darkness, the king of darkness, the harvester of flesh and blood, etc. From the time he appeared until now, although there have been many ups and downs, there is still no fall.

This is one of the few surviving death ancient gods!

The believers of Death-Naru need no reason to attack others, because their teaching is to harvest life.

This god of death hates life, hates living creatures.

The figure of Sauron has come here. In this bustling desert city, there are not many mainland faces like him. This is the territory of the desert race, and people of other races rarely go too deep. In the center of the city is a towering palace with exquisite reliefs carved on the walls on all four sides. On the top of the palace is a huge statue of a phoenix. It is said that the phoenix once appeared here and was reborn in the flames, so this place has always been the thorn in the side of Naraku, the god of death.

There are quite a few people in the Adventurer's Guild.

Sauron also saw elves, dwarves, and halflings by accident, but most of the elves who came here were druids. Since the practice of eastern monks spread to the mainland, many druids would travel to the eastern countries.

"Do you have any requests?"

An oriental woman with a veiled figure and a slender waist appeared in front of Sauron. She is the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild, because of the different regions, it is naturally different from the mainland.

Don't take this woman lightly.

Sauron could tell at a glance that she was an advanced oriental dancer. Under her exotic dress, there were at least a dozen deadly throwing knives hidden.

An advanced class somewhat similar to a clown dancer.

The oriental dancer is proficient in the fighting skills of some troubadours, and at the same time has received training from a small number of monks. The movements of these women are fierce and deadly, and sometimes they even play cameos as assassins. They are very good at using their beauty and charming dance to confuse the enemy, even in battle they are like jumping and dancing elves.

This is an advanced profession that requires talent, not only sensitivity, but also charm.

There are many special advanced occupations in the eastern world, and Sauron found two or three special advanced occupations with just a glance. It also includes ronin near the eastern sea.

An advanced variant of the ranger profession, a dangerous crowd proficient in swordsmanship.

"I'm going to issue a recruitment mission."

Sauron glanced at the oriental dancer in front of him, raised his hand and took out a task list, and handed it to the woman in front of him.

"Um?"

The Oriental dancer glanced at him, raised her head and glanced at him with blue eyes, and said softly, "Explore ancient ruins? Mission difficulty level C? You need to recruit some experts!"

"The fee is one thousand Kindlers, and we will announce your information."

"If someone wants to take this task. We will send someone to notify you, please leave us your current address."

Sauron quickly left the location of the hotel where he was staying, then glanced at the adventurer's hall, turned and walked towards the hotel. He still needs to learn some new spells. It is not easy to recruit a group of good players. Professionals who are too low-end are not even qualified to be cannon fodder in the ancient ruins. Sauron plans to stay here for three days.

Following the figure of Sauron, he left.

The oriental dancer quickly entered the back of the hall, and a middle-aged man with beard sat inside, and glanced outside. The voice was low and said: "What is the source?"

The Oriental Dancer glanced at him, and slowly said: "A high-ranking wanderer. He has good skills. He should be from the south. He smells like the sea."

"Smells the same as that ronin!"

"It is estimated that he used to be a person who wandered at sea all year round. I don't know why such a wanderer came to the desert!"

Watch what you say and what you say.

Oriental dancers are very good at collecting information, and their knowledge is no worse than that of troubadours.

"As long as it doesn't cause trouble."

The middle-aged man glanced at the task list, and said in a deep voice: "Explore the ancient ruins? Every year, these adventurers come here to die. They don't even know what is in the depths of the desert!"

The oriental dancer shrugged her shoulders when she heard the words, and said, "What can they do if they want to come to die?"

"We can't stop them."

soon.

The announcement of the task was posted, because it was a task with C-level difficulty, so the location of the post was quite obvious.

"Explore ancient ruins?"

"Recruit experienced veterans? The reward is at least 5,000 Kindler? The publisher is a rogue? It seems that the reward is quite rich!"

The announcement quickly attracted the attention of many people.

However, most of them weighed their own strength and chose to give up, because many of them here are mercenary regiments, and at most they are tasked with escorting caravans. This kind of ancient ruins exploration is too risky, even if the reward is good, they are not sure, most professionals still ask them for a safe.

"Looks good."

A bearded dwarf in heavy armor glanced at it, then put down his battle axe, and said in a deep voice, "Maybe we can talk to this rogue."

Taking on the task is naturally not that simple.

Not many veterans will make a decision easily, and they must know the specific content of the task.

The other person who was attracted by the task was the Eastern Ronin sitting in the corner. There was a flagon next to him, and he had been wiping his sword. After hearing other people's movements, he took a serious look.

Five thousand Kindlers.

It was considered a generous reward, enough to make a professional like him tempted.

Faye is still as rare as ever.

There wasn't a single wizard in the Adventurer's Guild, not even a warlock. The Druids seemed not interested in this kind of mission. They had always been very repulsed by exploring the underground, because they thought it would easily lead to disaster. Many of the druids here are tree shepherds, not warlock combat school druids. Polarization of power is more serious.

Three days passed quickly.

Sauron recruited some useful veterans with generous rewards, a dwarf armored shield warrior, an oriental rogue, and a desert warrior.

Including Sauron, there are four people in total.

It is a relatively good team, the only flaw is that there is one less priest.

High-level priests are still as difficult to recruit as ever. These guys have a high status. Rarely take risks to make money.

Sauron had to postpone the time because he could not recruit casters.

Although he didn't care much, these temporarily recruited teammates hoped to have a spell caster by their side, so that their safety would be a bit more guaranteed.

In the end, Sauron had to increase his reward to eight thousand Kindlers.

It's a pity that this still can't move the hearts of those dharma masters. In desperation, he can only use this investment to buy supplies from the desert temple.

Expensive healing potions are somewhat useful.

The potion made by the priest can achieve the highest effect of 'curing serious injuries', but it is expensive.

Just when Sauron was thinking about whether to finally find a way to recruit a high-level professional to make up the number. When a team of five adventurers was assembled, a little accident happened.

Someone actually came to him on his own initiative, ready to take over this mission.

It was a woman.

A beautiful and dangerous woman.

………………

Rewind time to a day ago.

Sauron was just about to return to his inn. He went out today to hire a group of workers and prepared to have them dig a passage leading to the underground ruins with tools. But when he just walked to the door of the hotel room. Sauron's expression suddenly became serious, and then he put his hand on the scimitar.

Someone knocked on his door!

Before leaving, Sauron left a very slight nick. Now the nick is asymmetrical, and the door was opened.

Sauron had told the innkeeper not to clean up the room. Therefore, there is a great possibility that someone else sneaked in.

There was no sound in the room.

Sauron was sure that if there was someone inside, the other party could hear his footsteps going upstairs.

He reached out and took the handle of the door. Then he took a deep breath and slowly pushed away. There was nothing abnormal in the room, but Sauron glanced and found that the things on the table were slightly shifted. The distance is probably less than one or two millimeters, if it weren't for a wanderer like him with amazing observation and memory skills. It was impossible to find out that someone had come in and flipped through his things.

creak!

Sauron closed the door gently, and didn't relax his vigilance in the slightest because he couldn't see anyone in the room. There are many masters who are proficient in stealth in this world, and there are also many people who are not inferior to him.

Wordy!

There was a slight cracking sound.

Sauron's body tensed for a moment, and then rolled sideways and pulled out the machete Bingdean with a clang, and a strange flying knife appeared at the door.

The twisted flying knife that looked like a snake was facing Sauron's throat at that time.

A slight wind noise.

Under the dim light in the room, a hazy figure appeared, and as the sound of piercing the air reappeared, five throwing knives shot from different angles, blocking all of Sauron's escape routes.

Dang bang block!

Sauron instantly blocked the enemy's attack with his knife, and at the same time jumped forward. The figure disappeared strangely when it was in the air, and appeared behind the hazy black figure in an instant.

——"Shadow Jump!"

——"Shadow Attack!"

Sauron didn't show mercy in the slightest, and all the offensives were kills.

"Clack!"

At this moment, the strange figure let out a clear and sweet laugh, and then the hazy phantom split into three, and avoided in three directions at the same time.

——"Dance of Obscurity!"

Illusion!

The vigorous and tall figure turned over and tapped his toes lightly on the roof, then swooped down and thrust out a black dagger.

"Oriental dancer!"

Sauron frowned, facing the figure rushing down from the roof, he suddenly closed his eyes, his ears moved, and without looking at the attack from above, he swung his knife and slashed at the foot of the bed. The phantom rushing down from the roof suddenly disappeared, and the position of the corner of the wall was distorted, and a hazy shadow flashed again.

Still an illusion!

The enemy has yet to show up.
