Chapter 151: Recruit as a teammate
What?other races?Zhao Yu simply didn't believe his ears. But seeing the assassin named Chen Tianhao, nodding his head so confidently, Zhao Yu couldn't question it.
Not only Zhao Yu, but also Shen Mengting and Qian Hao were quite puzzled.
"You said that your two enemies are not humans?" Shen Mengting frowned and asked. Her movements were a little unnatural, but she still completed the movement of holding her arms with both hands.
"Of course, I've already reminded you before. Chen Tianhao's expression was extremely serious, "Don't you all realize it? I never mentioned that my enemies were two people. I always refer to them as two 'things'. β
Qian Hao touched his lips with his fingers, "That's what I said!" he struggled to recall every conversation he had with the assassin.
"It's normal that they're not human! The League of Assassins never allows every group to remain exactly the same race. That would avoid the uncontrollable nature of the same race!"
Shen Mengting listened to Chen Tianhao's words, and couldn't help but focus her head, "You are also good." But, as far as you said, one of them is a werewolf and the other is a troll?"
"Yes, we are a small group of three, and we have been assigned to the Kingdom of Saran to complete the mission. β
"Those two...... Are they all assassins?" Zhao Yu asked coldly.
Chen Tianhao glanced at Zhao Yu, as if he was saying, 'Isn't that nonsense?'
"Assassins, of course. The three of us are all assassins, and we were all arranged by the Assassin League to carry out missions here!" Chen Tianhao paused for a moment, "Is there any more problem with this magician?"
Zhao Yu only felt a sour feeling in his chest, "Ahhhh
"Then you can start again!" Chen Tianhao cautiously looked around, "Because of the dialogue, we have delayed a lot of time. I don't want those two aliens to get the treasure of the human race!"
"So after you find the treasure, you're ready to swallow it privately?" Shen Mengting bared her teeth defiantly.
"It's better to wait until you find it first!" Chen Tianhao raised the lower half of his eyebrows without evasion.
"I hope I really want to find it, and you can also fulfill your promise and share our piece of the pie!" Qian Hao seemed to mock.
"As long as we find treasure, it will do us all good. So...... I think we'd better be united and get to that cave soon!"
Shen Mengting thought about it like this, "Well, then let's go!" she took a big stride forward.
Seeing this, Qian Hao and Zhao Yu could only obediently follow behind.
"Hehe!" Chen Tianhao, who fell at the end, pursed his lips and smiled, "Your companion still really cares about you!" He leaned his face towards Jiang Jingwen, who was hooked.
"I hope you don't hurt our team anymore, we're just meeting in the water!"
"Haha! Meets in the water! That's right! But ...... You're still my savior!Beauty!" Chen Tianhao smiled a little wickedly.
"I don't need to stress this anymore, now I regret saving people like you. Once we're done, we'll part ways with you!
"Ha! It's also an old woman!" Chen Tianhao pushed down Jiang Jingwen with his shoulder, and Jiang Jingwen immediately moved forward, "Let's hurry up! I don't want to delay any longer!"
The two immediately followed Shen Mengting's team in front.
The group of people in the woods was in such a hurry, and Chen Tianhao always looked at the three people in front of him alertly. Of course, he has absolutely no ambiguity about the girl he holds hostage. If Jiang Jingwen moved casually, Chen Tianhao would mercilessly wipe the scars on her neck.
Years of encounters in the Assassin League have long made Chen Tianhao develop a tense attitude at all times.
"That's right! I have a question that I want to take the liberty of asking!" Shen Mengting in front of her suddenly said something, her neck was still twisted, and one of her dark eyes was naturally aimed at Chen Tianhao.
"What's wrong?"
"Okay, I'm not trying to get to know your past, or anything about it! I'm just trying to get a little bit of the truth. Because we may have to fight side by side later, getting to know each other a little bit will also help in the future battle. β
"If you have any questions, just ask them directly! You don't need to beat around the bush!" Chen Tianhao quickly tilted his face left and right, "As for whether to answer or not, it's up to me to decide!"
At this time, Shen Mengting turned her head completely. Although her forward movements never stopped, it could be seen that her mind had always been on Chen Tianhao behind her.
After a while, Shen Mengting still released the question, "Who are you?"
"Huh?" Chen Tianhao smiled, "You asked me who I am, didn't I say I was from the Assassin League?"
"That's not what I mean! I'm asking...... What country are you from? Are you from our Kingdom of Saran?"
Chen Tianhao seemed a little hesitant. But it didn't take long for him to speak again, "I'm not from the Saran Kingdom. I'm from the Shanluo Empire in the south!"
"Shanluo Empire?" Qian Hao raised his head sharply when he heard this. Then, he also looked back at Chen Tianhao behind him, "It turns out that you are from Shanluo!"
"Hmm, what's wrong? Can't it be a Shanluo person?"
"You've always lived in the Shanluo Empire?" Shen Mengting immediately asked again.
"Yes, I spent my childhood in Shanluo. But then I signed up for the Assassin profession, and naturally I went abroad to join the Assassin League. β
"Oh, I see! β
The reason why Shen Mengting said this was because their Saran Kingdom had not cultivated assassins for a long time.
Assassination itself is a very niche profession, and many people don't enjoy it very much. In contrast to the heroic swordsman, the assassin represents the sinister and cunning. Moreover, the most important thing on the battlefield is the swordsman. Naturally, there are very few people who apply for the Assassin Trial. People would rather be a swordsman than an assassin. This is the sadness of the Assassin profession today.
Kiyose Castle once held an Assassin Trial Class, but it was abandoned due to the small number of applicants.
And even if you pass the assassin trial in the local main city and country, the level is only beginner. If you want to take your career to the next level, you can only succeed if you go abroad and contact an organization called the 'League of Assassins'.
'Assassin! that seems to be a profession that is very far away!' Before she knew it, Shen Mengting was already overdoing it. She also raised her head, her vision becoming a little misty.
"What's wrong?Are you interested in my past experience?" Perhaps seeing what Shen Mengting was thinking, Chen Tianhao immediately asked.
Zhao Yu looked at Shen Mengting, and did sense from her face that she was thinking deeply about something.
Shen Mengting suddenly came back to her senses, she glanced back for a moment, "It's not very interested." It's just that I'm interested in a high-level assassin who is also human!"
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"Are you interested in joining our team?"
When Shen Mengting said these words, almost everyone was a little dumbfounded. Especially Qian Hao, his mouth seems to be cramping.
Qian Hao seemed to want to say something, but because of the limitation of his jaw and mouth, he could only make some strange sounds, "This...... You...... You ......"
Zhao Yu also couldn't believe his ears, he dug into the ear hole with his fingers, considering whether there was any lesion in the ear.
"Hmm, are you recruiting me?" Chen Tianhao rolled his eyes.
Jiang Jingwen, who was held hostage by him, was surprised, she couldn't believe that her sister Mengting would say this.
"Yes, I'm recruiting you!"
"Ahh
"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Qian Hao deliberately approached Shen Mengting and knocked her arm with an elbow.
"I have my own measure!" Shen Mengting replied softly.
"Wow! you're going to recruit me into your team!" Chen Tianhao took turns looking at the so-called Shen Mengting's team.
A sturdy female swordsman, a somewhat oily archer, a non-existent magician, and ......
Chen Tianhao looked at Jiang Jingwen, who was being held hostage by herβand a physician who was too virgin.
"Honestly, your team is quite interesting!" Chen Tianhao smiled, "Can you tell me, what are you doing here?"
"You know to ask this question now, and you said you had no interest in who we are!"
"Aren't you going to recruit me? Of course I want to know where you are?"
"You don't have to know that. But if you agree to join our team, I can give you a probationary period. If you do a good job, I'll recognize you as a teammate!, and then we'll have a strong assassin on our team!" Shen Mengting held her head high. Her gait was also extremely steady, occasionally stepping on some weeds, making a little 'click' of leaves.
"Hah! That's strict! But ...... Why do you think you can recruit me?"
"I can't seem to think of where you're going next except to join us!" Shen Mengting's head tilted slightly, "If you find the treasure later, and fight with your two companions." That means you've betrayed the Assassin Alliance! If you're alone, you're dead. So, it's not a bad thing to join our team!"
Chen Tianhao rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking fiercely. After a long time, he looked directly at Shen Mengting solemnly, "Well, this woman of yours is right! I need to find a safe haven." But...... You guys must be reliable, right?"
"You can think about it, I'm not in a hurry to get an answer at the moment!" Shen Mengting put her hand behind her back, she no longer looked back, but always looked straight ahead, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry!"
Chen Tianhao was silent, and he could see that he was a little moved, but his defense against others did not decrease at all.
Zhao Yu blinked blankly beside him, and he scratched his head in confusion. Looking at Shen Mengting's side, he was a little unsure of whether it was good.
What the hell was this woman thinking? Zhao Yu had some doubts in his heart again.
After looking at Shen Mengting for a long time, the woman naturally squinted her eyes, and Zhao Yu quickly avoided the movement in front of her.
The group continued to walk through the woods, as the people in front of them were not very familiar with the road conditions, and they had to listen to the Assassins behind them, so they did not hurry quickly.
But even so, Zhao Yu still felt that his legs were a little sore. The successive walks had already made him a little out of breath, and he had used to ride on horseback.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead all the time, and Zhao Yu seemed to feel a little unbearable.
Shen Mengting was the first to notice Zhao Yu's abnormality, and she immediately turned her head and said, "Zhao Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Yuqiang held his body, but his waist still unconsciously slumped down. He was getting more and more out of breath, as if he was going to fall in the next moment.
"Zhao Yu, are you really okay?" Shen Mengting said and wanted to hold Zhao Yu's body.
"Hey, the two people in front, what are you whispering?" Chen Tianhao's voice came quickly.
Shen Mengting stopped and turned her head to it, "We have team members who can't hold it anymore, so I want to rest for a while!"
"What, can't you hold it?" Chen Tianhao stopped his gaze on Zhao Yu, "Isn't this just a few hours away, and it can't hold on?"
"He's a little tired, so I want to stop and rest. It won't be delayed for a long time, but my team members just need to rest!" As soon as the words were spoken, Shen Mengting grabbed Zhao Yu's arm.
"No! we've been delaying for a long time. Since I escaped from the coma, I expect to have a gap of more than two days. I don't even know if those two guys will find the treasure first. So we have to hurry now!" Chen Tianhao immediately rejected Shen Mengting's proposal.
"But he just can't hold on, don't you see that he's going to fall?"
"You told him not to pretend to me. A magician can't even travel for hours?"
"Don't impose your own ideas on others, okay?" Qian Hao mocked beside him.
This action aroused Chen Tianhao's vigilance, and he quickly looked at everyone here, "What? Are you going to play any tricks with me? Let me tell you, I, Chen Tianhao, don't eat this set." β
"We didn't play tricks with you, he's really tired!"
"Ahh......h I can...... Can hold on!" Zhao Yu's face was very unsightly, and it had already reached the point of being miserable. Still, he held his weight and shook his hand, "I'm fine!
"Can you still hold on? Look at you like that, it looks like you're going to fall down in the next moment!" Shen Mengting directly blamed.
"Hey, I said what the hell do you want? Are you pretending to me? If ......?"
"We don't mean to pretend, but this one is called Zhao Yu, he is really tired!" Jiang Jingwen interrupted Chen Tianhao, who was talking energetically, "He has never been in good health, and he gets tired easily." β
Chen Tianhao stopped talking, he looked directly at Jiang Jingwen, who was in contact with his body. No, it should be said that he was looking at Jiang Jingwen's two pupils.
"Is that really the case?" Chen Tianhao's mouth moved slightly.
"Yes! Yes!"
Facing Jiang Jingwen, who insisted on nodding, Chen Tianhao glanced at Zhao Yu who was panting, "A dignified magician, can't even walk this way?"
"Hey, people are already so tired, what kind of verbal stimulation do you have!" Shen Mengting responded directly and mercilessly.
Chen Tianhao took a sharp breath. After making a chest expansion movement, he seemed to be completely relieved, "Okay then! β
Zhao Yu's expression was about to relax, but Chen Tianhao said again, "But when the time is up, hurry up and hurry up for me." If you still want to play any tricks, then don't blame me......" Chen Tianhao moved the thin sword in his hand. The blade on the top made contact with Jiang Jingwen's neck again.
Chen Tianhao's meaning is already very clear, and he will not have any reassuring thoughts about the rest of him.
"Don't worry, we're not going to mess around!"
"It's good that you won't mess around!" Chen Tianhao smiled at Shen Mengting thievingly, "I have never treated you as teammates! Don't think that if you just threw a tempting condition at me, I would let my guard down." I still haven't decided whether I want to join you or not!"
"That's what you're talking about. If you continue to be hostile to us, I will have to consider whether or not to recruit you!"
"Then don't talk about it anymore, anyway, as an assassin, I've never thought about having teammates!"
After that, Chen Tianhao is going to find a place to rest. He pushed Jiang Jingwen roughly, and chose to sit down next to a tree.
Seeing this, Shen Mengting appeased Zhao Yu and rested quickly!
"I'm sorry! I'm pulling my hind legs again!" Zhao Yu's head was lowered, and he used his staff to support the ground, as if he was going to fall down at any moment.
"Silly boy, don't think nonsense. We are a team. Shen Mengting pouted to the side, "Hurry up and rest!
Hearing Shen Mengting's words, Zhao Yu casually lay down to the side. His back was leaning against the trunk of a large tree, and his haggard face was full of fatigue.
Shen Mengting shook her head when she saw Zhao Yu's appearance. She thought about whether it would be better to let Zhao Yu stay in the camp than now!
I entered into thought, until a light cough came from the side.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Turning her head, Shen Mengting saw Qian Hao standing next to her, still closing her eyes seriously.
"Hey, what are you doing? Surprised?"
Qian Hao quickly opened his eyes, he chose to quietly approach Shen Mengting, and spoke in a voice that did not tremble his Adam's apple, "Is what you just said true?"
"Huh?" Shen Mengting was a little surprised.
"I ask you if it's true that you said you were going to recruit that assassin, or did you just say it casually to paralyze that assassin?"
Shen Mengting folded her arms, and she sat down on the ground, "Do you want to know?"
"Of course I want to know!" Qian Hao also sat directly next to Shen Mengting.
"Then I'll tell you. I'm definitely not joking, I'm really trying to recruit him!"
Qian Hao only felt as if he had swallowed a fly raw, he was about to let out a breath, and he coughed repeatedly.
"What are you doing, Qian Hao?" Shen Mengting glanced at him with disgust.
"Hey, you really want to recruit him!" Qian Hao opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and seeing that Shen Mengting did not refute, he quickly shouted again, "You know, he was once a member of the Assassin League! Is it too ...... to recruit him into the team?"
Qian Hao was a little speechless and stopped. But Shen Mengting looked unimpressed, she looked at Qian Hao a little strangely, and she still held back a sentence for a long time.
"Qian Hao, aren't you yourself a person of unknown origin?"
