Chapter 18: The Old Blacksmith
After the excitement passed, Lao Jin calmed down and said: "I don't recommend that you sell back to the blue ring, the ranger class professional skills are connected quickly, and it costs a lot of blue to play a set, and your combat effectiveness can be improved by a grade with the blue ring." ”
"Yo, I didn't see that Lao Jin has quite a lot of research on various professions."
"Anyway, I'm in my thirties, and I've practiced it all by myself." Lao Jin glanced at Su Yang, "Xiao Yang, you are destined to become a master, I am a businessman, I can't help you, if you make a fortune in the future, don't forget that there is a poor friend in this town." ”
"If you're poor, I'm a beggar."
Entrust Lao Jin to help pay attention to whether there are local tyrant players who have made a big move, Hui Lan Ring does not plan to make a move for the time being, and he will still sell it after a while, Su Yang's other equipment is too bad, no matter how powerful the improvement of the Soul Ring is, it is not as good as replacing the whole body with the current level of A-level equipment.
Walking to the Night Tavern in Rocal Town, the old man who was originally responsible for issuing tasks was gone, replaced by an indifferent middle-aged woman, Su Yang showed his killer token and received a task list with B-level permissions, which was much more than when he had not joined the Night Tavern.
Assassination missions are divided into two types, one is NPC commission, the other is player commission, the assassination object is limited to all humanoid creatures, halflings, goblins can be summarized as assassination targets, wind wolves, thunder beasts are not good, if you want to issue a task to kill monsters, go out and turn right three streets to go to the mercenary union.
Most of the NPC's assassination targets are also NPCs, and the same goes for players, sometimes players will make enemies with NPCs, and there are also cases where NPCs issue assassination orders.
If you don't come to the Night Tavern, you will never know how many enemies you have, looking like a good old man who is kind to others, and everyone wants him to die behind his back, Su Yang saw in the task list that the four assassination orders all point to the same goal, which is at least the four people who hate him to the core, and want to put him to death.
If you take a closer look at the information on the assassination warrant, it is still a name that Su Yang is familiar with, and the information shows that it is a level 49 death knight, and his name is Neil.
The Death Knight is a profession that a warrior changes after joining the Church of the Dead, the Church of the Dead is a formal religious organization on the mainland, and the doctrine is to "listen to the voice of the dead", although the Holy See of Light does not agree with the concept of the church, but people do not break the law and do not do evil, there is nothing to blame.
Having said that, the smaller the place, the more prejudiced it is against the church of the dead, always feeling that the undead are evil, feeling that the believers of the church are all demons who kill people without blinking, and also fabricate many non-existent human experiments to support their opinions.
"I guess it's just the same name." Su Yang's impression of Neil was the honest blacksmith, and the Stalker's Blade was strengthened there.
Knocking on the window, Su Yang asked, "There are four assassination orders here that are all the same target, can I take them all?" ”
The indifferent woman said with a gloomy face: "No, accept one assassination order at a time, and replace it with a new one after success or failure." ”
The lowest bounty of the four assassination orders is only ten gold coins, and the highest is seventy gold coins, this kind of assassination against NPCs can usually be used to guess the strength according to the bounty, and the price of seventy gold coins is quite powerful in the fourth order.
Take the most expensive assassination warrant, the intelligence shows that the target is inside the city, and the location is also familiar to Su Yang.
"It's really him."
Su Yang began to be curious, he didn't have much contact with Neil Blacksmith, in Su Yang's impression, it was a gentle-tempered old blacksmith, not like a person who would be hated, let alone so many assassination orders.
The level 49 Death Knight can mix well no matter where he is, there is no need to live in seclusion as a blacksmith in Rocal Town, the shop is open in an inaccessible alley, and it is rare to have a few customers on weekdays.
The blacksmith has secrets in him.
When night fell, Su Yang's shadow was stretched very long by the light, and it was obliquely printed on the bluestone pavement, usually this blacksmith shop only closes in the early hours of the morning, but today Su Yang saw the blacksmith closing the stall as soon as he walked to the intersection.
When he came, Su Yang didn't show up, hiding in the dark and quietly watching the blacksmith close the iron door. This shop is Neil's own residence, and after Neil's movement was not heard, Su Yang turned over and entered the yard, his movements were very light, and there was no footsteps at all.
Only one room in the whole house was lit, Neil was probably single and childless, Su Yang observed outside the house for ten minutes, the lights went out, and Neil walked out.
He changed into clean clothes, his hair and beard were neater than usual, and he held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and quickly left the shop, unaware of the Assassin not far away.
Neil went all the way to the cemetery, where all the celebrities of Rocal Town were buried, or they had made outstanding contributions to the town, and Su Yang followed far behind, keeping a sneaky state, like a part of the night.
The cemetery was guarded day and night, and Neil, who was clearly not a regular visitor, did not enter through the main entrance, but went around to the side of the cemetery, showing agility that did not suit his size, and jumped over the fence with a slight leap.
"What are you doing sneaking into the cemetery on a big night?" Su Yang had doubts in his heart, and followed Neil five seconds after he entered the cemetery.
Over the generations, there were already many tombstones in the cemetery, and Neil had a clear purpose and walked straight to the last row, which was the generation that had recently passed away.
He stopped in front of the latest tombstone, there are no photos in the game, I don't know what the owner of the tomb looked like when he was alive, his name was Lena, he had no spouse and no children, and he was only 36 years old when he died.
Next to the tombstone is a plaque that records the life of the owner of the tomb, this woman named Lena is a senior pharmacist in the United States of Atamon, who has made many contributions in her field, many years ago there was a large-scale epidemic outbreak in the town of Rocard, Lena regardless of the risk of being infected, contact with a large number of patients every day, and finally developed a special drug, saving many people.
The last recorded cause of death was death of illness, and she saved many people who were plagued by illness in her life, but she still died at the hands of the disease.
Neil gently offered flowers, sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone, and kept whispering something, and after a while, he turned his head to look in the direction of Su Yang's sneaking, and said, "Come out, you should have been following me for a long time." ”
Su Yang, who emerged from the darkness, did not take off his cloak, and his loose cuffs showed a sharp edge, he didn't want Neil to recognize him, but the old blacksmith revealed Su Yang's identity when he opened his mouth, and noticed the surprise in Su Yang's eyes, Neil laughed a few times: "Adventurer, a habitual action betrays you, as long as your right hand holds something, it will unconsciously gently tap your thigh, whether it is a dagger or a crossbow or something else." ”
