Chapter 16: The Undercurrents of the Eight Directions
Luo Ning covered his body with an embarrassed face, like a little girl who had leaked out of spring. He looked at the golden-bodied warrior monk with a solemn expression, and then at Lina with a wicked smile on her face, and he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Master Hank stepped forward to solve the siege and explained to the two of them what had just happened. And Luo Ning also took off his coat from the golden-bodied warrior monk and put it on.
"Your Royal Highness, you just said that there are 'also' people, have you also encountered assassins?"
Lena nodded: "One high-level mage, two high-level warriors, plus two high-level assassins." The visual strength is above the two of us. ”
"Five high-level professionals!" Master Hank was taken aback. In the vast majority of Morrowind's kingdom, this is a force to be reckoned with.
Princess Lena stretched her muscles and threw her bulging pocket to the magic bell: "Yes! At that time, we were besieging a sixth-level Demonic Beast Titan Fire Bear. By the time he reacted, he had fallen into an illusion trap and couldn't move. At this time, a high-level mage who is proficient in illusion and a warrior with a large sword on his back appears. They laughed as they walked, saying that they had caught the first person, and they had all the credit! The other three people didn't even have to drink the soup! Before they could finish a sentence, they heard a burst of mournful laughter coming from several big trees overhead. The mage struck a flare into the air, but only a few light-hating firewing birds flew away. ”
Hank is well-informed: "It should be a high-level assassin... No, to make you laugh without alarming the Firewing, it should be a more powerful level 4 class, the Shadow Assassin. There's a skill called 'Dementor Intimidation', which is very similar to your description. ”
Lena agreed, "Yes, I think it's a Shadow Assassin too. When the senior mage saw that there was no one on the tree, he became more and more suspicious. At this moment, only three muffled thumps were heard, and three bloody human heads fell from mid-air and rolled to their feet. When the mage saw the three heads, he fell to the ground in fright, and stepped back to the great sword warrior, asking the warrior to protect him. The mage shouted several times, but the warrior did not respond. He sensed that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw that the warrior's head had already moved. ”
Hank scoffed at the High Mage's response, "It's a fool! Touching the dark and fighting the shadow assassin is simply looking for death! The mage's death is not far away!"
Lena: "That's right. But I care more about what I hear before the mage dies!"
"What?"
Lina's expression was extremely solemn: "Don't mess with other people's prey!
The same time on the outskirts of Maple Leaf Town. The figure wrapped in a pitch-black cloak crouched by the stream, carefully washing the dagger with its blade covered with tiny barbs. His hands were slender and slender, with soft and graceful lines, and unless he was an acquaintance, he would never have imagined that this hand came from a powerful Shadow Assassin. He wasn't the Night Saints' favorite minions. Not because of his weak strength, but because his strength has threatened the status of the Night Saint.
But this man didn't care about the suspicion and exclusion of the Night Saints. Since joining Daredevil three years ago, he has been preoccupied with completing his tasks and has never asked about the intrigues of the organization. Only the name "Red Moon Saint" can arouse his interest. But no one thinks there's anything wrong with that, because humans are more or less interested in those legends, and the Red Moon Saint is a living legend.
This mission to assassinate Princess Lena, he was not interested in it originally. But when the news came back first: in the place where the steel bones died, there were a few blood-red crystals the size of rice grains scattered, he took the initiative to ask the Night Saint for his life and resolutely went. Because even the magic bell itself didn't know, the steel bone believed that it was a 29 combo from Meryl, the Red Moon Saint, and after the last sword was swung, the scarlet fighting qi would quietly condense and turn into several red crystals.
"That half-elf imp, is that the person I'm looking for?" the figure washed the dagger quietly, and his thoughts flashed back to Fang Cai, and then to the distant past.
At this moment, the reflection of two more faces suddenly appeared in the stream, and the footsteps of his companions were heard behind him: "Mr. Kane, have you all dealt with the bed bugs?"
"Of course!" Kane wiped the dagger off with the corner of his coat, his gray eyes calm, "a group of mercenaries who can only fight but don't know how to kill!
"Hahaha! It's easy to go on a mission with Mr. Kane! Mr. Kane, after that, I have to deal with the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce, and I have to ask for a lot!"
"Wrap it up on me! I've told you about it, how did you find out?"
The black shadow who was laughing just now patted his chest: "Our Duke brothers are doing business, please rest assured! The person behind those bedbugs has figured out that it is the eldest son of Earl Hawke, Danny Hawke! He is waiting for news in Prancing Horse City not far away. It's just that for the sake of our employer's face, we didn't make a move!"
"And what about the remaining half? If I'm not mistaken, there's more than the five of them?"
"I know that. The third shadow spoke, "By the time I arrived, they were dead. In addition to Hank and the mid-level warrior imp, there was also a yellow-faced mage with a long stick. ”
"Long stick, yellow face, is it a master from Dongxian Island? If I'm not mistaken, before the last Blood Crow incident, someone had seen Wei Lin's figure in White Moon City!"
"I heard that Wei Lin is not a native of Dongxian Island, it shouldn't be him! Hey, whatever, let's kill one of them, let's kill one of them, let's kill a pair of two! Although we night demons are few people, we have never been afraid of those Dongxian Island people!"
"Anyway, you two have to be careful! Wei Lin is not only a rapidly rising young master on Dongxian Island, but he has also learned a superb fire magic in Morrowind Academy, even I may not be able to win. But you're right, we don't need to be afraid of them. And the most important thing now is to inquire clearly, what treasures are worth our hands on at the auction in three days!"
The Duke brothers said yes and again, and the three of them talked as they disappeared into the edge of the jungle.
The three of the night demons were fearless, and Luo Ning was also relieved. The assassination two days ago did not affect the progress of the work, and the 200 rare weapons were finally completed on the penultimate day. What surprised Luo Ning even more was that his enchanting ability, which was not effective at that time, had finally undergone a qualitative change after the birth of the 10th piece of enchanting equipment!
"Create 10 pieces of rare-level enchanted equipment, meet the preconditions, and open the No. 5 Life Skill Tree: Enchantment. "Nine days of continuous hard work, the process of building more than fifty pieces of rare-grade equipment, in exchange for a life skill that even Master Hank would be envious of. Luo Ning felt that this was one of the most beautiful system prompts he had ever heard!
"Activate Initial Skill: Beginner Equipment Enchantment. Consumes a certain amount of material and randomly adds an additional stat to the equipment. The property content varies with the material. Gain Range: 5-7%, Upgrade Progress: 0\/100!"
The starting skill is more like a pass to the enchanted world. The upgrade condition of 0/100 means that this skill will only improve if you keep crafting enchanted weapons. Luo Ning also thought about skipping this initial skill and directly using the advanced skills behind, especially the "handy" skill that is worth 10 skill points and has the effect of doubling the buff, which is very suitable for him who currently holds 35 skill points. But it's a pity that these skills need to be cleared by pre-skills. And the source of all the pre-skills is this "novice-level equipment enchantment"!
"Forget it, take your time! you can't become a fat man in one bite!" Luo Ning comforted himself and continued to work beside the iron felt. When Master Hank saw it, he smiled and said, "Ronin, let's not be busy crafting weapons today!
"What's the matter?" Luo Ning placed a red crystal on the sword embryo without raising his head, and turned his fighting energy to melt it. According to Princess Lena, the crystal nucleus of this third-level demonic beast fire-breathing turtle is one of the commonly used materials for enchantment. Although the accuracy of this message is questionable, Luo Ning still tried to follow the steps given by the system.
Master Hank didn't notice this scene, but went to the corner of the wall to carry the box containing rare-level equipment to the door: "Wait a while, the person in charge of the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce will come here to receive the goods in person! When they have checked it, you and I will demonstrate the effect of the enchanted equipment first, and then help me carry the box out together! Don't let the guests do it themselves!"
"That's right, Master Hank, we just took a fancy to your sincerity in treating your guests, that's why we asked Earl Hawk to find you in the first place! Now it seems that we still have a good eye, haha!" Before the laughter stopped, the group of three walked into the blacksmith's shop. The man at the head was dressed in a dark blue cloth robe, and a majestic golden dragon head was embroidered on his chest. He looked to be in his twenties and thirties, with neat black hair, and gray eyes that contained warmth and kindness, as well as confidence and shrewdness. As soon as he entered the house, the man put on a smiling expression and introduced himself, "I'm Jinli in charge of the business in the southern part of the kingdom in the Dragonhead Guild!
After Hank returned the salute, Jinli instructed the waiter behind him to hand over a wooden box: "I have heard that Master Hank loves to collect rare metal materials! This piece of deep-sea steel was accidentally obtained by a sailor of the Dragon's Head Guild last month, and the president of my family knew the purpose of my trip, and specially ordered me to give this piece of steel to Master Hank." ”
Master Hank saw that the piece of steel was pitch black, but a touch of dark blue was faintly visible in it, and after getting closer, he could feel the slightest cold air diffusing from it, knowing that this steel must not be ordinary, he took the wooden box with a smile, buckled the lid and put it away: "Thank you, Mr. Jinli, let's inspect the goods!"
Jin Li smiled and raised his hand to refuse: "Don't be busy looking at the goods first." There's one thing I'm even more curious about!" he said, pointing to Luo Ning, who was still busy working, "Who is this little brother?
