Chapter 16: Contact (II)

Ricky had actually entered the tavern early in the morning, side by side with Deres to be exact, but no one had spotted him.

The young man, Kohler, was knocked unconscious by him and hid in a wooden barrel where wheat was stored next to the Nautilus Tavern, just a wall away from the group.

The people of Tallinn wanted to stay like this forever and see how the people of Shadow Footsteps would react, but the appearance of the mage reminded him of Mu Yan's advice before.

……

“…… To sum up, Wade is a person with strong business ability, but his own strength is not strong, which seems to be a common problem of intelligence agencies. In addition, Shadow Footsteps actually has a shadow mage named Bena, who is the trump card, and the most mysterious and special mage. To put it simply, he is able to perceive the spatial line in which others are located.

"According to the academic 'line theory', every assassin who escapes into the shadow world is equivalent to applying for a new spatial line outside the main line, that is, the space where most people are, which we call a branch line. The branch line is closed until it is applied, and no one stays inside. It doesn't occupy a position, it doesn't consume energy, it doesn't fluctuate, it can be understood as 'non-existent'.

"But as soon as a thief enters it, it 'exists.'"

"The interesting thing is that the number of branches seems to be endless, and because they spawn instantly, there are no two thieves who run into the same branch. For this reason, someone has proposed a theory called the 'Roland-Hurd two-cat theory', that is, two twin kittens with a heart each enter a branch and rely on spiritual bonds to find each other. They keep changing branches, but they never see each other.

On this basis, some people put forward the saturation theory of space lines, that is, the branch line can only accommodate one person...... Of course, judging from your sleepy eyes, I could tell that you couldn't listen at all, so we moved on to the next topic.

"But for the Assassins, because you enter the side quest in a different way than the Mage, the side quest you enter is collectively known as the Shadow Realm. It's like someone else walking through the front door and you digging into a dog hole, and I don't mean to be sarcastic. As a result, you will be corrupted by special energies in the side quests, and you know that it is impossible to stay in the Shadow Realm forever. Coupled with the fact that the Assassins' seclusion was to better manifest and attack, the battle between the Assassins was more of a contest of patience and endurance.

"But Bena is different, he didn't know what he had experienced in his early years, he became a shadow mage, he couldn't enter the side like a normal mage, and even the flash magic had to borrow a magic ring to achieve it, but he was able to connect to the shadow world and absorb the energy in it for his own use. More importantly, he is like a cloud of air, a non-existent person, who can enter the film world that is only for one person to accommodate or saturate. This gives him a gorgeous title, the Shadow Killer.

"So while I have absolute confidence in your stealth skills, I'm not sure if you'll be able to evade his senses, so I suggest you hide in the most primitive way you see him, so it might be safer."

……

Mu Yan said this, Ricky didn't understand, but he understood one thing, that is, Bednar was dangerous.

So he did as he was told, and he didn't escape into the film world.

From the moment Bednar appeared, the Tallinns realized their wit. The other party is not like a mage like Mu Yan, Glazer, and Teacher Zha, who swept the entire room with his perception as soon as he came up, but stretched out his tentacle-like perception to the space, and began to search for whether anyone had created a new shadow world. After retrieving it unsuccessfully, he extracted the stored Shadow Realm energy from the ring before releasing the crow.

It took Ricky five minutes to move quietly from the corner of the room to the middle, just to stab the crucial blow, but he didn't expect this guy to be as slippery as a loach, and in that case he could dodge in the first place.

Now the scene was a little awkward, Ricky hit unsuccessfully, Bednar dodged, and he suddenly exposed himself to the vision of so many people in the shadow footsteps.

The people of Tallinn were suddenly a little distressed, not because they were worried about their own safety.

The group of people in front of him was too weak, and he was worried that he would not be able to control his hands, and if he accidentally killed too many of them, he would not be able to collect them at that time......

In hesitation, the two closest to him had already made a move.

Seeing Wade's dagger, he suddenly had a good idea.

What do you mean by that? Shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, and capture a thief and capture the king first? This guy who seems to be the leader, if he controls him, it is equivalent to controlling this room of people, right?

With this thought, he dodged, but the short sword in his hand stabbed Wade like an eye.

There is no way to avoid it.

……

In the latter's opinion, the diminutive opponent in front of him seemed to be surprisingly nimble and swift, not only dodging the attack launched by him and Deres together, but also having the strength to attack him?

Wade didn't feel like he was going to be hit, and dodging such an attack was as simple as drinking water and eating.

So he slid slightly to the left, intending to dodge sideways, and then the dagger flicked upwards and stabbed the opponent's arm, which he didn't have time to retract.

However, as he turned sideways, the short sword in his field of vision followed like a maggot on his tarsal bones.

It's a bit fast...... Wade gave up the idea of countering and dodged again. But the dagger still read the right direction in which he was dodging, and it was faster, and he could already feel goosebumps on his neck from the cold air of the blade.

At the critical moment, a faint light lit up on Wade's shoes, and his whole body turned into white light and fled into the distance.

It's time to get out of the way, right?

However, to his dumbfounding, the man also exploded with a "bang", as if the dust emitted a glimmer, followed him like a shadow, with a tail like a comet, and regrouped in front of him into a short man wearing a mask.

He felt the enemy under the mask laughing, mocking his incompetence, and the dagger was around his neck.

"I overestimate you, Mr. Wade."

Although Ricky's lingua franca was lame, in this situation, Wade sounded so harsh and sinister.

The people of Tallinn looked around, but they were a little surprised, this group of people did not shout as Mu Yan predicted, "Please stay calm, as long as you don't hurt our boss, there is something to discuss" and the like, but looked at him with unkind eyes one by one.

"Anyway...... Shouldn't you send a representative to negotiate with me? Ricky simply threw out such a sentence.

Deres looked left and right, and when he saw that no one wanted to speak, he raised his hand.

"I'm not armed, Mr. Ricky." He signaled that he was safe. "Please stay calm, as long as you don't hurt Mr. Wade, we can discuss anything."

Hearing this line, Ricky was actually a little happy.

"Then I'll have to get Master Bena to put down the communication stone in his hand."

As he spoke, the short sword was pressed deep again, and the blood flowed like a torrent of blood.

Seeing this, Bena had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and throw away the things in his hand.

"Not enough, sir." Ricky laughed, "The rings on your right middle finger and left ring finger." ”

Bena's expression was slightly condensed, he didn't know why the other party knew him so clearly, slowly squatted down, took off the ring, and put it on the ground.

"Good." Ricky smiled, and then the room was swept by the arc of light pulled by a touch of silver dust, Wade only felt a light on his neck, and a flower in front of his eyes, most of the people around him had fallen to the ground one after another, including Bennet.

"Now we can have a good talk."

Ricky reappeared.
