Chapter 4 The First Assassin
"What do you want me to do?" I took two deep breaths and said, "If you have any requests, just tell me! If it's not too much, I will consider it. "
"It's good to have your words." Al Ni smiled evilly and handed me a scroll. "See for yourself."
I unfolded the scroll carefully, fearing that Al Ni had installed some mechanism inside. With Arni's character, it is entirely possible for him to do it. However, as the scroll opened, the mechanism I was worried about did not appear. Instead, I saw a map. I turned the map over and looked at it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out where it was. It seemed to be a very detailed map, and it should be a detailed map of a small area. Unless Al Ni said where the map was, I couldn't tell at all.
"What is this?" I asked Arni.
"The map! Can't you see it?"
"I know it's a map, but why did you give me the map?"
"Because he is only useful to you." After hearing this, I looked at the map in confusion, but I still didn't find out what the use was. It looks like this is just an ordinary map. The only special thing is that a red cross is marked on a location number. It is obvious that there is something at this location.
"There are many things that are useful to me. I wonder what this one is marked on?"
"It's the Stone of Commandment." Al Ni calmly said a name that almost knocked me down.
"Discipline...Stone of Discipline?" I stuttered a bit. "Then...then what is your request...?"
"All six strongholds are saved for me, and I also want a city in the Temple of Light as compensation. If you can do it, then I will tell you where the location marked on this map is, and whatever you ask for I promise you all the military types, and it’s half price.”
I immediately fell into thinking. This is obviously a big hook, but the bait hanging on it is indeed too attractive. How to do it? If you bite the hook, you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die. If it doesn't bite, what will happen to that bait? After thinking about it, the rb strategy is more important, so that bait must not be given up.
"Can we discuss it?"
"No need to discuss." Al Ni was determined to torture me to death. "Either help me take the city back, or you can just get out."
"Then you have to lower the price." Anyway, if you bite the hook, you will be unlucky. It is true that you eat more bait before you die.
"Okay." Al Ni just cares about his head and is too lazy to argue with me. "You just need to help me get these cities back and give me a Guangming City. In addition to the previous conditions, I can give you a 30% discount on the purchase of troops."
"It's a deal."
After confirming the agreement, I had to go to the Temple of Light first. Anyway, there are some troops that need to be purchased from Miluole. After bidding farewell to Arni and Domingue, we left Death Canyon. Night Shadow carried me through the Black Forest, while I was thinking about how to convince Miyelle to give up those cities. It is impossible to rob them. Firstly, our guild may not be able to defeat the Temple of Light. Secondly, it seems inappropriate to start a civil war at this time. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a pain on my back, and my whole body was taken away. With a thud, his head and feet hit a big tree. My neck was almost broken. "Holy shit, what bastard attacked me?"
There was silence in the woods, and no one answered me.
"Yeying, did you see someone attack me?"
"No. Maybe the other party is invisible."
"That's too bad! Amynis is not around now. I wonder if Star Pupil can see through the other party's invisibility."
Just saying. Suddenly Ye Ying let out a long hiss, and I turned around sharply, only to see a large gash on Ye Ying's neck. I quickly went up to hold him down, and then used healing magic to deal with it a little bit. Since the beast tamer relies on his magic pet to fight. Of course, healing is a must-learn, but I rarely use it because Xiaochun and Aina are around.
"It seems that I will only drag you down here. Let me go back first." Ye Ying said.
I directly took Ye Ying into the Phoenix Dragon space, and summoned Bailang, Rose Vine and Dart at the same time. My familiars and summoned creatures have basically been sent out to perform tasks. The remaining big guys are not suitable for this kind of battle. Only the three of them are suitable!
As soon as they came out, I quickly asked: "Can you confirm the enemy's situation?"
Bailang immediately sniffed the smell in the air, then grinned. "There is only one enemy, and it's a woman. Her scent is in the air."
"Where's the rose vine? Can you confirm the location?"
The rose vine sent a signal back to my consciousness: "No, the other party hasn't moved at all since I came out, so I can't catch the vibration. Wait, this is... be careful..."
"Ah!" Before Rose Vine could finish her reminder, I was knocked away by a force. "Damn it! Who's so fast!" Although I didn't hide just now, I saw a shadow passing by in a flash. The opponent is obviously not invisible, but is too fast to be seen.
Dart suddenly showed its cute little fangs, faced a tree next to it, and then suddenly disappeared in place. A woman's exclamation came from behind the tree. A smile appeared on my face. hey-hey! At least the dart is still keeping up with the speed of the opponent on the ground.
A white figure jumped out from the tree. Just as Bai Lang was about to pounce, the figure dodged a dozen back handsprings more than ten meters in a row after landing and disappeared behind a big tree. When Bailang rushed behind the tree again, the other party had disappeared. The rose vine did not catch the opponent's ground vibration at all. Obviously this guy could fly, or at least there was a way not to cause the ground to shake.
"Who is it? Why do you hide your head and show your tail?" I started to think of ways to use words to provoke her out, at least to let me determine the enemy's location!
It was quiet among the trees, and no one paid any attention to me. At least this guy isn't too stupid and knows not to talk nonsense at times like this. Dart stood motionless on a big tree next to us, and we were motionless underground, catching any possible sound.
Click. A not too loud sound of branches breaking came from my right front. I turned around almost like lightning, and the Eternal Sword threw out a red light in the form of a whip sword. The sword blade swept across a large area and was retracted to the hilt with a clatter, and the scene became quiet again. After a five-second pause, several large trees in front began to tilt one after another, and then fell to the ground. The Eternal Sword is too sharp. The tree had not fallen down at the moment when it cut through the trunk, but it took such a long time for them to fall to the ground one after another. However, the tree fell down, and what was revealed behind the tree was a big rat with its head missing.
A voice sounded in the trees behind me. "The combat power of the Great Demon King Purple Sun is indeed not a rumor, it is really accurate!"
This woman's voice didn't mean anything sarcastic, she probably really felt that my attack was accurate. In fact, it was really accurate, but it was the wrong target. If the woman was behind the tree just now. It may be in two parts now.
The dart jumped over after the sound was made, but found nothing behind the tree. The opponent's speed was too fast.
"What? Do you want to catch me?" The voice suddenly appeared again behind a big tree directly in front of me.
brush. The big tree fell down before the sound ended, and the two and a half months rotated back behind me. Just when those big trees fell to the ground, I had already launched the half moon, just waiting for the opportunity. However, the attack was obviously ineffective. After the tree fell down, a man covered in snow-white appeared behind the tree.
This is a woman, but I don’t know what she looks like because her face is covered by armor. She wore a tight-fitting white armor. It was wrapped tightly from top to bottom, with no gaps at all. However, because the armor was tightly wrapped, it was certain that her figure was quite perfect, and she was of the slender, tall type. It's a pity that she is too tall. I'm only 1.7 meters tall. This woman's armor also had tall roots. She was at least 1.85 meters tall when she stood there. As a man, he felt really inferior standing next to her.
The other party's body was tightly wrapped, but judging from the blond hair flowing out of the helmet, she might not be Chinese. Although domestic players can also choose hair color. But few people dye their hair blond, and it's still such an exaggerated blond color. It looks like a burning golden flame.
"who are you?"
"Me?" The woman dragged her chin in thought. "Some people call me dancer, but I like to be called lightning."
"Lightning? Are you the extreme player in France?" Lightning is just a nickname, and dancer is this woman's real name. She is different from ordinary players. All her earth attributes are enhanced in terms of speed. She is almost too fast to be seen and is like lightning. That's why she got such a nickname. In terms of overall strength, she may be far behind me. But her speed is too fast, and she can't show her strength even if she is strong, so even if she is stronger than her, she may not be able to defeat her. The most important thing is that once she intends to assassinate someone, she usually won't miss because her speed is so fast that you can't even stop her.
Lightning nodded. "Didn't you expect that I am quite famous?"
"You have killed the presidents of the four largest guilds in France. It is probably difficult for you to become famous. Don't you want to add another one to your record today?" This woman took pleasure in assassinating senior personnel. Deal with those high-level, powerful, and prestigious guild bosses. I seem to be one of those people who fully meets her assassination criteria.
Lightning nodded again. "Little RB gave me 10 million crystal coins. They want me to constantly 'harass' you. It's best to kill you step by step. Originally, I didn't plan to take over the mission from RB. But after seeing it After the battle records they gave me, I thought you were very interesting. Since I’m going to kill you anyway, it’s good to get some travel expenses along the way.”
"It turns out that the coward Nobunaga Ghost Hands asked you to come."
"You don't have to provoke me. You can scold me if you want. I don't like rugged people either, but this has nothing to do with me challenging the strong. So, if you don't like that short mule, feel free to scold him! I don't mind!"
I smiled helplessly: "Do you have to kill me? Since everyone doesn't like rugged people, there's no need to be so stiff, right?"
"I said, I just want to challenge you, and the money is just a way of doing it."
"Then it seems we have nothing to say. Let's talk about our strength!" I suddenly shook my wings, and a large swarm of Steel Underworld Bees spread out along with a purple mist.
The foggy miasma is my incidental attribute. It does not consume magic points and can create an environment suitable for me to fight. Although the speed of lightning is very fast, my fog can block her sight. I can't see the road. I wonder how fast you can be. As for the Steel Underworld Bee. There are so many of these little guys, they can always take advantage, right?
"Miss Lightning, it seems like it's foggy. Be careful if you run too fast and hit a tree!" I deliberately provoked her, hoping to disrupt her position, but this woman was definitely not an ordinary person. She didn't answer my words at all and pounced on her. None of the Steel Underworld Bees that went out could find her.
Sudden. I saw something flash in the distance. The fog does not block my sight, but makes the thing more conspicuous on the purple background. I quickly turned aside, and the thing with white light flew past the tip of my nose, which scared me to the point where a thin layer of sweat broke out on my nose. Good guy, if you slow down a little bit, your nose will be gone!
"Not bad! My move killed six people who claimed to be masters, and you were the third person to dodge." The voice of lightning fell from the top of the tree, startling me. The thing was thrown from a distance just now, but now it was on top of my head. A large group of Steel Underworld Bees rushed forward immediately. But as always nothing was found.
"So fast!" I moaned softly. This woman is really difficult to deal with!
The sound of lightning sounded again, but of course the location was different. "Haha, your fog is also very powerful! It can actually corrode my body. But at this speed, even if I don't treat it, it won't be possible to kill me in less than ten hours. Do you expect to use it? Defeat me? Or do you just want to block my sight? Then you can put it away. My goal is not to disappear from me. Because I have angel eyes, I can break through all the fog and illusions. .”
really. The fog has no effect on her, so she can throw the throwing knife from such a distance. But I won't undo the fog, at least they can improve the combat effectiveness of me and my summoned creatures.
"Don't you want to withdraw? Then let me help you!" Suddenly. Countless golden rays of light shot down from the top of the woods, and my death fog actually evaporated in the light.
"The light that awakens the world? Are you a high-level angel priest?" I have only heard that this female assassin is difficult to deal with. I always thought that she was a professional assassin. Today, it seems that she is not dressed up, but she should not be a priest. ! I get it, she’s a bi-professional! The power of the angel tribe's priest is at least doubled. She is a difficult woman to deal with.
"Are you from the evil camp? Then the divine light should be harmful to you?" Lightning's proud voice changed several positions in succession, and then a ray of white light fell from the sky. Just enough to cover me in it.
I was indeed in the evil camp before, but now I have Vina to support me. The characteristic of the Gods of Chaos and Order is that they are compatible with each other and do not care about the conflicting attributes, so the divine light is ineffective for me.
Lightning soon noticed that I was not afraid of divine light, so he quickly took it back. "So you're not afraid of divine light. What about this?"
A golden gun flashing with golden flames suddenly flew over from the depths of the forest. I quickly put the double shields in front of me. At the same time, the phantom in the physical state also helped me unfold the protective shield, but...it didn't work! The golden gun pierced through my body the moment it touched me. But I wasn't hurt. This is an illusion! "Oops!" I realized something was wrong. I suddenly turned around to attack, but I didn't expect that she was behind me.
when. "Ah!" Lightning's sword was cut off. She was also hit on the shoulder. But she quickly jumped back and disappeared behind the tree. But this time she wasn't so lucky. Bailang arrived almost immediately and directly broke the tree where she was hiding. Lightning left the tree again and jumped onto the branch, only to be attacked by darts. She was forced to dodge far away, but it was useless. Not only my magic pet, but also the Steel Underworld Bee. It was as if there was a beacon directing us to rush forward.
Lightning hid behind a tree and looked at her bleeding shoulder, and she seemed to understand the reason. "I made a mistake this time, but I won't give up. You won't be so lucky next time." The voice suddenly disappeared, and the lightning disappeared.
Both Bai Lang and Shui Dart have good noses, and Steel Hades is also very sensitive to the smell of blood, so as long as she is injured, she will no longer be able to hide. The white wave of body fragrance could only confirm that she was nearby, but the strong smell of blood was enough to determine the specific location.
Now that this woman has left, I don't want to stay here for a while. He put away his magic pets and summoned creatures, and quickly left the black forest. However, after taking a few steps, something with a silver halo suddenly flew over.
when. There was a collision and the blade claw that had just popped up blocked a dart.
"You...?" There was a woman standing on the road ahead, who was clearly Lightning. She actually came back. I originally wanted to ask her why she suddenly came back, but I soon figured out the reason myself. How stupid! I clearly knew that she was the high priest, but I actually thought that she would go back to recuperate. It was all caused by habitual thinking. As a dual-professional, Lightning has the high priest profession, so of course he can heal himself. The small wound will heal quickly, and there is no need to go back for treatment.
"You are the first one who can 'force' me to use deception. However, I have never failed since my debut, and I don't want to break the record with you. If I don't kill you today, my reputation will be ruined." .So you should just be obedient and let me kill you once, right?"
"If you have the ability, do it yourself."
"Then I'm not welcome." Lightning suddenly disappeared on the spot, and the next second she suddenly appeared above my head, slashing down two daggers at the same time.
"What a beautiful idea." I raised my hands to hold the two swords, but Lightning suddenly kicked me on the back with both feet, knocking me forward and almost turning me over. By the time I stabilized my body and turned around, she was gone.
"Don't make me angry!" I shouted angrily.
Without any warning, another spear with golden flames flew over. I have been deceived by this illusion once before. This time I simply ignored it, but I was wrong again! This time it was real, the golden flame gun hit my stomach directly, and this thing was just like an illusion, it really ignored defense. With a pop, I was penetrated by the spear, and purple-black blood spurted out from the wound. All plants stained with blood withered immediately.
"Are you a big devil? Why is your blood so poisonous?"
I held my stomach and took two hard steps back, then pulled out the spear with all my strength. "You really pissed me off!"
"Oh? So what?" This woman really doesn't know how high the sky is and she dares to provoke me!
"Like this." I threw the golden gun away and leaned back. "Beast transformation."
My body suddenly grew in size and I instantly turned into a werewolf form. Although this state will weaken the magic ability, it can greatly increase the strength and speed, and the perception ability will also be greatly improved, which is perfect for dealing with speed characters like Lightning.
After seeing me transform into a werewolf, Lightning realized that it would be difficult to take advantage of me again. She put away her jokes and regained her composure. A real killer will not talk to the person he is killing. Just like what she did before, she just saw that I was not very fast so she started talking to me in a joking mood. In fact, she actually met someone who was difficult to deal with. At that time, she should be in this state of complete silence. The forest was quiet again, and no sound could be heard except my breathing.
My ears suddenly twitched, and I turned around and swept out with a claw. A white shadow flashed out in front of me, and disappeared into the trees again after several consecutive ups and downs.
There was no sound, silence, but I knew she was nearby. Suddenly, I caught a little bit of faint information. An imperceptible smile appeared on my face. "Absolute barrier." I suddenly shouted this defensive skill, and at the same time, the invincible absolute barrier instantly unfolded. Pfft, I was hit by a sword again on my shoulder, and the blade passed through my shoulder, but this injury was nothing. On the contrary, Lightning, who succeeded in the attack, was even more panicked because she found that she could not get out.
The absolute barrier is an invincible cover, and the moment I open it, it also covers the lightning. No matter how fast she is, she can't perform well in such a small space, so she can only be at my mercy. I turned around and looked at her with an evil smile. "hey-hey……!"
