Chapter 5: The Trial (I)

Ye Chi glanced at the compass in his hand, shook it twice, and found that the pointer also moved sensitively.

This is where the Master Assassins are.

This is a bar called "Fox's Nest", there are no customers, but Ye Chi is in its backyard at this time.

But no one is ...... Do you want me to find it myself?

Ye Chi looked around, and finally locked the trapdoor, just because there was a familiar symbol on it......

Assassin Logo......

He sent the compass in his hand upward, as if it had a magnetic force, the compass automatically snapped into the article, and the trapdoor popped open a little.

Ye Chi opened it - it was authentic.

He walked down cautiously, and before he had taken a few steps, his feet suddenly emptied.

"Ahhhh......h

He didn't draw his knife because he could hurt himself when he landed...... He felt as if he was out of the safe zone......

"Peng-" He landed on a rather thick pile of hay, unscathed, shook his head to adjust his balance, got up, drew his knife and swept it behind him!

"Bell-" Ye Chi was blocked for the first time since entering SAO.

"Shhh......h Don't move, move again to make a hole in your neck! ”

Ye Chi really didn't dare to move this time...... He could feel the chill on his neck, but he didn't know where his opponent's blade was, so he couldn't fight back......

"Put down your knives...... Put your hands on your head and turn them around slowly......"

The form is stronger than people, and Ye Chi can only do it.

When he turned around and looked at the man hiding in the shadows from the front, all he saw was a pure white Master Assassin robe...... and half of an old face hidden under a hood...... I just don't see where the blade is......

"I'm the only Master Assassin in Ein Grant Floating City, Rogerio, and since you've managed to get here, it means you've managed to kill the Bloodflame Wolf on your own, and at a disadvantage...... In this way, you are eligible to participate in the trial...... Young man, do you have a desire to become an Assassin? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ YES,headmaster……”

"So, bring your knife ......"

Ye Chi picked up his knife and stuck it in the sheath behind him.

Then he lost his vision...... And it seems to be carried by someone......

When he regained his vision, he didn't know where he was...... He was now standing on an unusually intricate wooden scaffold, facing him a full-scale dummy, posture with its back to him.

From the darkness, it can be vaguely seen that there is more than one floor of this platform, and the posture of the dummy is varied.

"Kill them the fastest and most stealthy way you can, and you're qualified." Rogerio said.

Ye Chi pulled out his knife with his backhand and rushed towards the first dummy, the speed was fast but his feet were silent.

The short knife slashed at the dummy's back in a short arc, making an embarrassing, loud noise, and at the same time, the number of mistakes in the upper left corner of Ye Chi's vision changed from 0 to 1, and the rating on the right dropped from SSS to SS.

Ye Chi instantly understood something, and covered the dummy's mouth with his left hand...... I just don't know if it's useful...... the knife backs up with a powerful kidney blow - the dummy makes a seemingly painful movement under the influence of an unknown mechanical structure, and then explodes into a cloud of shards.

Got it......

Ye Chi kept his hands on his hands, climbing, jumping, running, and assassinating.

Neck slashing, kidney blowing, throat slitting, back stabbing, spine severance, craniotomy...... A series of sophisticated, accurate and lethal methods were used by him, as if he had returned to the bloody twilight of the sun, he sneaked into his father's study, flipping through the bloody textbook.

According to the textbook, he felt as if his body had become one with the figure of the white-robed assassin on the screen.

The left end's rating hasn't dropped since it dropped to SS, and there are even faint signs of rising in his delicate harvest.

As his dagger sank behind the last dummy's ear, the end bell rang, and across the center of his vision was only the golden S, though there seemed to be a thick layer of blood on it.

He didn't notice the stunned face of the old Master Assassin underneath his hood......

100% completion.

S-level rating...--I guess it's a bit longer.

"Alright, boy, jump down, you're an assassin!"

There was darkness in front of Ye Chi, and there was darkness under Ye Chi's feet, as if clouds were rolling.

Ye Chi knew that this was a traditional leap of faith test, and there must be haystacks or other buffers underneath.

He crossed his heart and made a gesture embracing the void, like jumping out of the darkness.

In a trance, a loud eagle roared, and although it was underground, it had a light spirit in the nine heavens.

As expected, a pile of hay caught him...... And even if he was a little lucky, there were pools of water in front and back......

You can't die......

When he walked out of the fox's nest through the main entrance, he had a dark silver ring on his hand, and the Assassin's emblem was etched into the wide ring.

Shadow glow

There is a lot more to it.,This kind of equipment that obviously seems to be open......

However, who taught him that his mission was to challenge the GM?

Mission: Blood Trial

As a new Assassin apprentice, you'll need to prove your abilities with blood.

The Horn Lord, Hotsberg Ambition Lord, colluded with foreign races, oppressed the people, and tried in vain to extort the autonomy of the streets, and the evidence was conclusive, giving him the fate he deserved and allowing him to be redeemed in the shadows.

Goal: Assassinate Lord Holzberg.

Note: Due to your excellent Trials results, you will be promoted to a mid-tier Assassin (Warrior) directly after completing the Trial.

―――――――――― night falls――――――――――――

The night is dark and the wind is high, and there are strong people in the road, and the lord is killed in the dark night, and the people celebrate greatly......

-- Hulun Street Log

The above is.

Ye Chi took advantage of the special effects of the Strange Walker and easily climbed onto the roof.

Eagle Eye opens.

It's a wonderful feeling, the vision is darkened all of a sudden, but you can see all the details clearly.

There is a large house in the distance, shrouded in a golden barrier, which is probably the location of the mission......

Flying on the roof, there is indeed a different kind of pleasure, Ye Chi finally knows why the protagonists of the AC series like to climb the roof...... It's really cool...... Especially when you pass over someone's head and the other person doesn't know anything......

He passed through an invisible barrier, which is now a non-safe zone...... That is, Ye Chi's mission area.

He carefully drew his short knife and climbed onto the roof of the target house.

Quite big house with a nice patio in it.

There is a well in the patio, a landscape tree, and ...... A sentinel.

Anyway, this should be put at the front, right?

The sentry was armed with a shield spear, dressed in leather armor and leather helmet, clearly well-trained, and the spear could be skipped off, but the shield ...... The long iris shield covered with oak and iron skin, and I looked at the rivets on it, and I looked at it for his teeth...... There's no solution to this thing...... Thanks to only one, more than three are invincible......

So, to kill or not to kill?

Killed, the movement is too big to alarm the target and it is easy to be flanked......

If you don't kill, you will be sure to make a sound when you fight the boss...... The principle is the same as above......

Fortunately, Ye Chi was an Assassin, albeit a trainee Assassin apprentice......

Isn't an assassin just a stabbing knife in the back...... Silent killing...... Seems simple?

With a knife in his mouth, he crawled down lightly, silently falling to the ground, taking off the knife and opening Hawkeye.

A crimson figure appeared in front of him, with several golden lines and spots of light appearing on his bodyβ€”weak spots.

There are two at the junction of the leather helmet and the leather armor, which should be the vertebral suture, one on the left and right of the back of the leather armor, and one on the left and right of the leather armor, which should be the kidneys, which are the only two key points that have not been protected.

The choice is clear, isn't it?

The knife pierced the sentry's neck without warning, and the hard and then soft feel told Ye Chi that he had been pierced, and if he succeeded, the sentry would fall into a moment of paralysis and stiffness.

The Hit trait takes effect! Ye Chi's hand kept on the short knife, and it flashed on him several times in the blink of an eye.

That's the benefit of attacking the central nervous system...... As long as the technique is hard enough, it can connect people to death.

The first attack seems to have a bonus of about 3 times, the long health bar has dropped by a third, and several consecutive knives have successfully reduced his blood bar to less than half, the knife has flexibly turned half a circle in his hand, and he has held it upside down, and a backhand "broken string" has grazed his neck - the second weakness attack!

The sword technique was already much more powerful than the flat slash, plus a bonus of nearly 4 times - this knife could almost beat him to the ground, and now it was naturally killed with one sword.

There is no power to fight back at all, and I am dizzy from head to tail. However, this is not too common, otherwise the game will be too unbalanced......

Ye Chi pulled out the knife, and the sentry fell to the ground softly, not turning into pieces and disappearing.

According to the principle of stealth action, Ye Chi threw the body of the sentry into the well.

"Secondary goal, silent execution, done."

The sudden appearance of the words startled him......

He touched the front of the main house, opened the Eagle Eye again, and with the power of infinite detail to penetrate the void, he noticed that the windows on the second floor were flowing with golden light.

Effortlessly climbed to the second floor, and by this time Hawkeye could already see the golden figure pacing inside.

That's you!

Ye Chi scraped the window frame with a knife, ready to take action.
