Scott cautiously rubbed his eyes with his right hand to relieve the fatigue caused by this - revealing a little beyond his sleeves, the two small arrows on the poisoned arm crossbow shone faintly with cold light, which made him have to be cautious.
, if the oily skin is broken a little, although it will not kill him immediately, it will be enough to make a big man like him fall to the ground like a wooden stake. (Read the text novel to get there'') ~
"..."
The strong mercenary cursed in a low voice. Although it was just the beginning of the melting snow moon, the breath in the wind that blew over his face was already disgustingly hot. The bustling crowds and noisy and messy streets around him all made him feel uncomfortable.
It makes this hotness even worse... It's not unbearable, but it's as annoying as a mosquito buzzing in your ears while you're sleeping.
In fact, no matter who is walking for several miles with nearly 20 pounds of clothes on his body and a cloak with a hood, he will probably feel a little hot, especially if he has grown a lot.
With a body over six feet tall, he often needs to hunker down and hide in dark corners, and must always keep an eye on specific targets among the crowd.
Oh, or maybe it's not the weather or the clothes that's hot, but the feeling that you're completely fed up with this kind of almost blind stalking?
Or is it because after today, you will be thirty-five? I heard that when people reach this age, they are always a little sad and a little irritable.
But in fact, Scott doesn't feel that it is very sad. Although he has not become the big man who can change everything when he was in his twenties, he is much better than his companions who originally had similar dreams——
Savage, who always dreamed of becoming a dragon-slaying hero, has been missing for three years. If nothing else, he has turned into the dung of a monster... Lila is still going in and out of the cell, and the promised million
But there is not a penny left in the family fortune. As for the female mercenary who originally wanted to find a young prince to be her husband...the female mercenary who was deceived by a pretty boy and lost all her savings? It can only be said that it is all she has.
My brains are all stuffed into those two lumps on my chest.
Who can blame this? The life of a mercenary is always very hard. The blade of the knife licks blood, but it may not necessarily lead to death. And after half a life of going through life and death, all you get in exchange is full of pain and disability, and the few money you get.
The savings are not as great as the reward for helping the nobles resolve their stubborn entanglement with the illegitimate daughter. (Read the text novel to get to it'')
In fact, they already had this at the beginning, but they can't face it until now... But maybe, this is not their sorrow, but almost everyone in the world is like this, just like the priest of the God of Suffering
What he said - Whether it is a high-ranking noble lord, His Majesty the King who commands the nobles, or a seemingly free merchant, one with a high status or wealth does not necessarily have the idea of being superior to others, and no one can feel satisfied for a long time.
, Happiness is only temporary, pain and sorrow accompany people throughout their lives.
However, Scott does not want such a life. If happiness is only temporary, then let him come a little more, a little more, until there is no room for pain and sorrow...
Therefore, Scott became what he is now. He ended his adventurous career and got used to the terms of the contract to collect money and do things. However, he is still an adventurer and a hunter. It is just a place for hunting. It has been transformed from the wilderness.
Ruins, underground tunnels, dense jungles and dry wastelands were replaced here, this Romantic maze known as the city.
In fact, there is no big change, it's just that the target is changed from monsters to humans.
It's quite simple, or simpler than imagined, isn't it?
Shaking his head and throwing away the thoughts that caused him to wander, Scott once again pulled out the small piece of parchment from his sleeve, glanced at the simple drawing drawn with charcoal on it, and then cursed vaguely -
-The job was so troublesome this time, maybe it was just because of that idiot employer. It was said that he was a wealthy businessman, but he didn't even have the detailed appearance of the target, so he could only provide this crude one. If he hadn't obtained it in advance
Without the help from Old Rabbit, I might never be able to complete this task in my lifetime.
After stretching his aching neck, Scott narrowed his eyes and scanned the house in front of him.
Different from those young men who were obviously in high spirits and were mixed in the crowd - experience told the former adventurer that the two guys he met this time were obviously not easy to mess with, even though judging from the portrait, they were just two of them.
They are rustic country bumpkins, but the fact that it took them three days to determine their location is enough to illustrate their abilities.
Yes, the old rabbit has no other skills, but the method of casting a net is no joke - relying on hundreds or even thousands of golden fingers to complete the surveillance in the streets and alleys full of romance, even if it is Si
Kurt, if you don't leave Romantic City and don't have helpers, you can only guarantee that you won't be attacked by these little bastards for a day and a half. (Just read the text novel'')
And this target... there is a dwarf among them, and his special body shape is very eye-catching.
Well, maybe it's more than that. The fighting power of the dwarves is also very terrifying. Their short and fat bodies are surprisingly strong, and they are all very good at forging. Therefore, everyone is indispensable for a good armor, even in the city.
, if you fight this kind of guy head-on, ordinary people don't have much chance of winning - even if he doesn't use weapons, the impact of hundreds of pounds of armored body will break bones and tendons, not to mention, according to the person Scott learned from
According to the information obtained from one of the employer's subordinates, that young guy seems to have some inexplicable abilities.
Inexplicable ability?
Or this is the reason why this time to deal with two people, they called in seven young and strong masters - that should be a mage, even if he is just an apprentice, the combination with a dwarf is tricky enough, even if this
Now that Bian has grasped their movements, he just needs to take action, but if he misses, there may be some trouble.
But if everything goes well, this will be a trivial kidnapping, the hands and feet will be clean, and there won't even be too many people around - and as long as the two guys who slept like dead pigs are thrown to the employer, it will be obvious
I got forty platinum coins, enough to comfortably spend until the end of the year.
The former mercenary shrank back a little, secretly giving a little temptation so that his spirit would not be so tense... because some weird loud coughs had passed through the crowd, which was the secret signal for the appointment.
The target is already in view.
One tall figure and one short figure appeared from the old house. The long cloak with the hood was loose, but it was not eye-catching. They quickly blended into the crowd, disappearing and disappearing with the flow of people.
However, this little thing didn't bother Scott. The former mercenary slowly wandered forward from the shadows, and soon the two shadows were caught in the yardstick in his mind - closer, closer, although
This is not my favorite modified crossbow, but it is no longer the hairy head that I was when I was twenty years old. Now that the muscles and reflexes of my arms have reached their peak, Scott firmly believes that he has the ability to
right here
Raising his hand, he pulled the trigger, and when the small arm crossbow arrows shot through the air, they made a whistling sound, like the piccolo played by the God of Death, and like the breath of the Demon King of Hell...
Scott doesn't like this sinister sound, just like he doesn't like the smear on it, which is rumored to be concocted by the dark elves underground. It's something that mercenaries hate - but you can't help it.
Admittedly, this thing is very powerful and fast. If the archer is close to him, only thirty or forty feet away, he will not have time to draw his weapon to block. (Just read the novel) And the power is so strong,
Even a giant might not be able to resist.
As long as he is hit...but the dwarf may not be hit. If he wears full body armor and moves his body, but as long as the caster falls, the six guys who have surrounded them will
The guy is enough to make things easier for him - who made him not a necessary target and was labeled as a person who doesn't care whether he lives or lives?
Phew, ding
Scott's body stiffened.
Something that was expected did not happen, and the shorter and fatter figure fell down almost silently - the small arrow was buried in his body without encountering any obstacles. On the contrary, the
The taller and thinner guy actually made a metallic tremble, blocking the arrow.
"Are you human?" the target shouted, his voice as heavy and hoarse as a broken bellows, isn't this the place? How brave, you dare to attack a noble in the street." Just a few words
In the meantime, he already had the long sword in his hand, and it was obvious that his hand was always on the weapon.
But the people surrounding him had no interest in listening to what he said - a tall and strong man threw off his robe, revealing a ferocious scimitar. This alien weapon was very fast and powerful. Every time
Every attack comes at a weird angle, and even mercenaries skilled in using swords usually find it difficult to resist.
But his opponent flipped his wrist and blocked all the series of attacks. Not only that, but the other two attackers who wanted to take advantage were also forced to retreat at the first step by his two fierce thrusts.
open
"This kid is stabbing his hand. Let's all come together." The big man waving the Yanyue Sword roared.
Anyway, it was impossible to carry out a smooth covert operation at this time - the flash of weapons and the sound of collision caused a chaos among the originally sparse pedestrians. They immediately noticed that this was not an ordinary gangster fight, so they fled swarm to the surrounding areas.
Shops and dark alleys. (Read the text novels here.) The streets suddenly became empty, leaving only a small battlefield surrounding the target with seven men menacingly showing off their blades.
"Are these idiots blind?"
Scott did not move forward, because he was shocked by the struggle - years of training in wild hunting had made the former mercenary's eyesight particularly sensitive. Even though he was sore and achy from staying up late, and separated by dozens of feet, he still
The first thing I noticed was that the guy who was knocked down by the crossbow arrow had a green chin exposed under his robe that was thrown aside... It seems like the dwarf might not have a beard?
What's more, the target's arms exposed under the cloak are covered with armor with fine scales. You can vaguely notice a crossbow and a long sword hanging on the belt buckle. The boots under the cloak are black chain boots. In short, this outfit should be considered.
It is extremely valuable. It is definitely not something that an ordinary mercenary in the countryside can use.
...something is wrong.
The mercenary leader's heart became colder and colder. At this time, the reaction of the taller shadow was also beyond everyone's expectations. "Despicable assassin" he roared, was he sent by the Keldina family? You guys
These damn cultists actually dare to attack the Viscount in the street. You will definitely not end well... Uh-huh... Everyone, go and report to the security forces, a noble has been attacked."
Damn it, this is a trap
When the other party called out that name, Scott immediately felt as if he was immersed in a bucket of ice water, because the badge that appeared on the other party's other hand was shining brightly, and the light was by no means ordinary.
The metal that can be emitted is a metal forged by some kind of magic. Only the genuine nobles of the kingdom can use it, and they are at least viscount and above...
A viscount... His assassination god is above. These people attacked a genuine nobleman.
There was no regret. Everyone was looking at this place in surprise. If they continued to entangle, they would not be able to escape the fate of being covered with tar and hung on a branch. Scott jumped back without hesitation: "Scatter water."
He shouted, then turned around and jumped into the dark alley behind him
Scott gritted his teeth bitterly. Even though he was no longer a mercenary, such a method of escaping without his companions was absolutely unethical and would be severely punished by the guild - but Scott has now taken care of it.
Not that much... That damn old rabbit must have done something. They were not attacking the down-and-out mercenaries at all...
Maybe everyone was fooled from the beginning.
However, that is all someone else's business. The first priority now is to escape as far away as possible. If a noble is attacked, this incident will definitely cause chaos in the public security system. If they can't block it before
When leaving the city before the city gate, the higher-ups will definitely not begrudge these little bastards, and may even deliberately throw a few of them out to attract attention. Of course, the "accidental death" will be just right to cover up the truth.
…
After walking through several alleys, the tight nerves caused the steps to stagger, and the breathing became chaotic and rapid. The former mercenary uttered a series of curses, not understanding how something that was originally so stable could happen in an instant.
the worst ending
Isn't Old Rabbit's intelligence network the best? Hasn't it been confirmed repeatedly? Will it be like a magic trick, and the target suddenly changes?
The sudden numbness in his calf woke him up; the mercenary's confused thoughts did not notice that there was suddenly something more under his feet, and by the time he noticed, the whole person had already jumped forward.
This accident actually only made him slightly embarrassed. With one hand on the ground, he had already reorganized his attitude. But this delay was actually enough... With a low roar, a round swing
The murder weapon has been hit hard on his waist
Scott's pupils shrank and his limbs became numb. The terrifying power contained in the murder weapon broke through the barrier of the leather armor without any hindrance. A big hand stirred up his internal organs and filled him with horrific pain and shock.
Entering his mind, his vision immediately went dark, and he couldn't feel anything except the rumbling tinnitus.
Not long after - it seemed as long as a year, but at least there was an hourglass scale, and finally a new one appeared in the field of vision,
The first is the weapon that may have caused him to faint - in fact, it was not a weapon, just a wooden stick that could be seen everywhere, but the length of five or six feet and the diameter of the mouth of a bowl made it enough to be a murder weapon.
Especially when the person holding it is a real dwarf.
At this moment, the small eyes hidden in the thick beard and brown skin were staring coldly. Scott felt like he was trembling involuntarily, and his body was dripping with cold sweat. You want...spare me, please?
...I just..." He stammered in a low voice - his cracked and burning throat could actually only produce this volume.
"You're just a nobody, me."
The speaker's voice sounded very close, because his hands were busy on Scott - using admirable speed to move the exquisite arm crossbow, the purse in his arms, the dagger, the poison bag... all
After unraveling them one by one, he continued to speak coldly, "Tell your boss that the matter of our 'Stinger' is not something you can just interfere with. If he still wants his little guild to be in Romanti,
If he continues to stay underground on Kalinta Street in the South District, then it is best not to use the two branches on Scroll Street and Rice Wine Lane, or they will become his graveyard."
‘Stinger’? That’s a name?
The sound passed through the eardrum, but it was blurry because of the pain, but Scott could clearly feel the cold murderous aura in it. He nodded with difficulty and vaguely watched the man walk away.
But no matter what, a guy who comes out of all their lairs is definitely not a dangerous person that can be easily provoked.
…
"Hey, Edward, can you just let this guy go? Are you sure they won't send another group of people to come and cause trouble for us?" Hidden in the dark alley, watching the figure get up and leave shakingly, the dwarf
I couldn't help but speak.
"Whatever, after all, by the time they finish dealing with the official investigation, things will be pretty slow. What can they do then? Can they come to the Magic Academy to cause trouble for me? If you're smart, let's change our home base first. I remember this.
This is the home of guys who dare to assassinate nobles. As long as you report it, you can get a large bounty. So, are you interested in getting some drinking money?"
The young hunter smiled, but the dwarf who looked at him was silent for a moment.
"You guy... you are indeed a skinner..." The dwarf rubbed his nose as if to hide it - that ferocious smile reminded him of those choke monsters that like to hide in the darkness underground.
There is no similar place, but the chilling coldness seems to be exactly the same.
