Text Chapter 107 Sock
"Yuan, your Wind Listening Technique is really useful, and it is perfect for gathering information. After standing in a corner of the street behind the house for a long time, and finally hearing what he wanted, Yin Yi said happily to Yuan.
"Eavesdropping, eavesdropping, needless to say, it's so nice. And as an assassin, you said that you were here to find out the news, but you couldn't even enter the gate of the human courtyard. I went around the outside several times, but I couldn't think of a way. In the end, I spent the afternoon standing here with you, and I really don't know what you've been practicing these days. Ignoring Yin Yi's praise, Yuan Bai glanced at Yin Yi and said with disgust.
"I can't say that, what I learned from the old man is the method of fighting. At that time, I really didn't expect to do this, I just thought about improving my combat effectiveness. But Yuan, your Wind Listening technique is really very suitable for this work. Can you solidify it into runes, so I don't have to stand here with me all the time. Yin Yi said.
"I don't know this kind of thing, Principal Busi used to study it for me. Yuan replied.
"Alright then, when that's done, tell me how magic works. I'll see if I can figure it out. Yin Yi said.
"Okay, but where are we going next? are we going to find Amiru?" Yuan said as he grabbed Yin Yi's arm and prepared to leave, looking a little impatient to stay here.
"Wait a minute, why don't you go to Amiru, why are you looking for him?" Yin Yi hurriedly stopped Yuan.
"Didn't the baron just say that there was something wrong with Amiru?" said Yuan.
"I'm not his personal detective, he said that if Amiru has a problem, he will check it out for him. I don't bother to care about this kind of vulgar plot. Yin Yi pouted and said.
"Then what did you just let me do here for half a day?" Yuan glared at Yin Yi, and made a gesture of starting if he didn't agree with him.
"Listen to me, I'm not trying to confirm whether the person I'm trying to protect is worth saving. After all, in this task, neither the client nor the target can distinguish between good and evil on the surface. Yin Yi explained with a smile.
"Then why don't you just pick a mission with a clear distinction between good and evil. Yuan said.
"I screened for a long time last night, and this task is very suitable both in terms of distance and timing. And although the mission target is a baron, his own strength is not high, and the remuneration is not high. Therefore, the strength of the killer who takes this task should not be too high. As my first practice goal, it should be just right. Yin Yi said.
"Cut~ said so much, it's not that I'm afraid that I can't beat it. Doesn't it mean that you can compare to an ordinary Saint-rank assassin after completing his training?, could it be that the liar is talking big again?" Yuan said disdainfully.
"I don't blame the old man for this, it's just that I want to be cautious. Yin Yi said with a wry smile, it seems that it is impossible to change Yuan's name for the old man Cui Wei in a short period of time.
"And what are you going to do now?" Yuan asked.
"Guarding here, I don't know much about the process of the killer guild. However, it is estimated that it should be these two days, and the killer who took the task will arrive. The structure of this task is not complicated, and I guess it is possible that he will do it directly. So I want to stay on this side, lest Baron Ram be assassinated. Yin Yi replied.
"Are you just so stupid?" Yuan asked again.
"It's the first time after all, but you can go and play alone for a while, and I'll stay here. Yin Yi said apologetically.
"Well, forget it. I'd better stay with you, or you won't be able to find out what's going on inside in time. Yuan hesitated, but chose to stay
Under.
"Thank you. Yin Yi said with a smile.
The two of them, one big and one young, waited patiently in this corner where almost no one passed. Fortunately, a killer named Soke had already arrived in Luyue City at this time.
"It's a nuisance. After walking to Lu Yuecheng, Soke let out a long breath, grabbed his messy short yellow hair, and took out a piece of paper from his arms to look at it.
It records the information of the target person, as the identification card is limited. It's basically impossible for a newcomer like him to view mission information and receive tasks through his ID card. They can only find the so-called "middleman" in a specific tavern. Pick up the task from them, as well as transcribe some target information.
This time, Sock was lucky, and the task he received seemed to be not difficult. Although the other party is a baron, his personal strength is only high-level, and the nobles of the Ace Empire are not allowed to have private armed forces. So this time, he basically only needs to face one high-level fighter.
This kind of task is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing, and if it weren't for the low pay, it would not have fallen into the hands of newcomers like them. Although the journey is a bit far, and there are a lot of rules in the Ace Empire, Soke is still very happy to receive this task. He even felt that this might be a sign that his life was about to start a transfer, and after completing this task, after completing a few tasks that were not too difficult, he would be qualified to apply to become a grass-level killer. Then you have your own identity card, you can choose your own tasks, and you can also get the training methods unique to the union, so that you can become a strong man.
Thinking of this, Sok happily folded the paper in his hand and stuffed it into his arms. When he pulled his hand out, he inadvertently touched a scar on his chest. The scar on his right chest almost split his entire body in half. Even if the people on the Shining Gold Continent have a strong recovery ability, very few can survive such injuries.
This was left to him by Sock's last mission target, a Saint-level warrior with a somewhat arrogant temperament. After knocking Sock down, he didn't rush to end his life, but instead approached Sock to taunt him, only to be caught by Sok and stabbed his throat with a blow. Soke, who originally thought he was dead, miraculously survived after lying down all night. However, that kind of injury still allowed him to recuperate for nearly half a year before he could continue to come out to take on the task.
To say, with Sock's hard work, as long as he can get an identity card, it is really possible for him to grow into a top killer. But it's a pity that this task, which he thinks represents transshipment, happened to be selected by Yin Yi as the joint target.
"Yin Yi, it sounds like this Amiru has been cheating on Laura's feelings, do we really care about this matter?" Yuan listened to the movements in the Baron's Mansion while chatting with Yin Yi without saying a word.
"It's not that it doesn't matter, it's that it can't be managed. Girls in love are blind, and she can't even listen to her father's words. We have never met her, and it is impossible to persuade her. Luckily, she has a good father. As long as I help Baron Ram survive this assassination, I think with Amiru's rank, he should not be able to fight this baron. Yin Yi said.
"Laura is so stupid!" Yuan sighed, then looked up at Yin Yi and said, "Yin Yi, do men like to deceive people?
"Uh... Yuan, where did you hear these words?" Although Yuan had also said such words before, when she threw this question to Yin Yi, Yin Yi was still a little caught off guard for a while.
"When I used to play with Sakuraku, she would say that occasionally. And when I play in Liangcheng, I can often hear similar conversations from the wind. Yuan replied seriously.
"Sister-in-law... Yin Yi thought back to the murderous aura vaguely revealed on Ying Jiu's body, and couldn't help but wonder which brother was so fearless that even she dared to deceive.
"Yin Yi, you haven't answered my question just now. Yuan tugged on Yin Yi's cuffs a little dissatisfiedly and said.
"Ah, you said that. Don't worry, Yuan, I've decided I won't lie to you, no matter when. Yin Yi said.
"Really?" said Yuan.
"Of course it's true. Yin Yi said affirmatively.
"That's good. Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Yin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally coped with it.
"Yin Yi. After a while, Yuan spoke again.
"What's wrong?" Yin Yi's tone was a little empty, afraid that Yuan would ask some strange questions.
"It seems that someone has come to the Baron's Palace, sneaky, it should be your companion. Yuan said.
"Is it sure?Where is he now?" Yin Yi immediately became serious when he heard this.
"Hmm, Yin Yi, this person is much stronger than you. After a while, he had already sneaked outside the study. Yuan sensed it seriously and said.
"It's all in the study!Isn't Baron Nalam directly exposed to that killer now?" Hearing Yuan's words, Yin Yi panicked.
"It's okay, he hasn't acted yet. Outside the study, he lurked. Yuan said.
"He's probably looking for a moment. Luckily, I still have a chance. Yuan, you sense his movements with all your might. Although I won't be lurking, it should be fine to rush to the study to intercept him at the critical moment. Yin Yi thought for a while and said.
"Good!" Yuan nodded, and began to concentrate.
At this time, the person who infiltrated the Baron's Mansion was Suoke, which was similar to Yin Yi's speculation. Seeing that the task was simple, Sock decided to solve it quickly. After a general investigation outside the Baron's Palace, he found nothing out of the ordinary. Sock sneaked directly into the Baron's Palace, due to the regulations of the Ass Empire, there were not many guards in the Baron's Palace, and Sock quickly found Baron Ram, who was worried about his daughter's affairs in the study.
Sock found a hidden corner outside the study and began to carefully examine the layout of Baron Ram and the study. Baron Ram's strength is indeed only as high as the intelligence says, but if Soke wants to kill him quietly, he still has to plan carefully. Although the Empire does not allow nobles to have private armies, its security forces are indeed the strongest on the entire continent. If Sock is discovered during the assassination, even if he succeeds in assassinating Baron Ram, it will be extremely difficult to leave the Ass Empire safely.
