Chapter 195: Shadow Assassin

In the afternoon of the second day, Wren completed several interviews, discerned the authenticity through the soul eye, and recruited the first batch of outstanding officials, and was in a pretty good mood.

As soon as he returned to the study to rest, Osilia appeared silently.

"Here you go. ”

She handed over a few white scrolls and said, "Time is limited, I can only make the four rings of stealth, only five, you need to save some use." ”

"Five is enough. Wren took the scroll and looked at it twice.

These spell scrolls were white in shape, tightly rolled up, only the thickness of a thumb, like candles, emitting faint energy fluctuations, and the quality was extremely excellent, showing Osiria's superb skill in making scrolls.

"Thank you. He thanked him.

"Be careful yourself. Osilia nodded slightly.

Wren made an agreement with the Modu nobles, and also exposed the connection with Master Anzai, and his safety was guaranteed, so Osilia had no need to protect him at all times, so he left again.

Late at night, Wren got up in his lavish and spacious bedroom.

Changed into a black night suit, stood in front of the mirror, activated the shape-shifting ring, the muscles on his face squirmed, and in the blink of an eye, he changed to a plain face, and then took out a scroll to trigger and enter a state of invisibility.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Wren walked out openly.

The two extreme warriors who were guarding the door heard the movement at this time, and the symbiotic relationship allowed them to sense the location of the original body and know that it was Wren who came out.

They had already been commanded, and pretended not to hear anything.

A few minutes later, Wren left the castle without incident.

The invisibility scroll of the four rings, the effect can last for an hour, and Wren didn't want to waste time, so he immediately ran on the streets.

The speed of the seventh level is amazingly fast even if you don't turn on the "Rapid Run".

In the darkness of the night, Wren ran out of his territory in only a quarter of an hour, headed west, crossed the bridge over the El El Ero, and entered the county of Atlane.

Pirino Aiden's territory is across the river from the Glamorgan Territory, a slightly smaller area, the most prosperous area is located in the southwest corner of the Modu City, adjacent to the old town, densely populated, developed a number of commercial streets and industrial parks, named Gray Whisker District.

Wren ran down the streets, avoiding several patrols.

Soon after, a sprawling manor house in a bustling neighborhood appeared in front of it.

"It's here. ”

Wren looked at the luxury estate from afar, which was the residence of Pirino Aiden.

As a Count of Silfon, Pirino also had a castle, but it was located on the outskirts of Mordo, far away, so Pirino preferred to live in a manor house in the city.

At night, the manor is still lit up in many places.

Wren turned on the sound of all things to the maximum, listening to the voices of the manor.

A large number of noisy sound waves are transmitted into the ears, which is chaotic and complex.

He discerned it carefully, but did not hear the voice of Pirino Aiden, and wondered if he had fallen asleep, or if it had been covered up with a spell, or if it was not inside.

I hid in the dark and listened patiently for a while, but I still didn't find anything.

Wren ran around the manor, trying to find a place to sneak into, only to find that the entire manor was shrouded in a huge vigilance circle!

This circle has no dead ends at all, and even underground is not relaxed.

"I'll go!"

Wren was helpless, this kind of vigilance circle was an excellent way to prevent the enemy from infiltrating, and it was usually only placed in wizarding academies, floating cities, or other places of great importance.

The daily consumption of maintaining the magic circle can only be supported by the true nobles.

He had also thought about whether to arrange a guard circle for his castle before, but after asking Osiria about it, he immediately dispelled the idea.

The area of the Blue Water High Fort is too large, and it costs thousands of gold shields to open the magic circle in one day, so I can't afford to play at all.

Moreover, there must be a wizard above the middle level to preside over the magic circle, 24 hours a day.

This means that at least three wizards need to be rotated.

Pirino's manor is much smaller than the Blue Water Castle, and the consumption of the vigilance circle has decreased, but Wren estimates that Pirino spends at least 100,000 gold guilders on the vigilance circle every year.

"What a fucking extravagance......"

Wren cursed in his heart, this old guy who threw himself into the abyss evil god was too cautious.

After observing outside the manor for a long time, I didn't find any flaws.

No matter where you sneak in, you will trigger the alarm of the circle, and the guards in the manor will be the first to be alarmed.

Wren felt helpless.

He was about to give up and go back to find another way, when his eyes swept over the distance and saw a bell tower.

The seven-storey stone bell tower is the tallest building in the neighborhood, about 400 meters from the estate, and beneath it is a large expanse of residential buildings that stretches for more than half a block.

At such a distance, there would be no threat to the manor, and even if someone climbed to the top of the bell tower, they would be spotted immediately during the day.

If it is at night, the average person will not be able to see the situation in the manor from the top of the bell tower.

Wren is no ordinary man, though.

He immediately ran towards the bell tower, and below he heard the guards on the roof, snoring and sleeping soundly.

"It's just right, saving me from getting knocked out. ”

Wren jumped lightly, jumped on the second-floor window edge of the bell tower, and stuck to the outer wall, like a gecko, silently climbing up.

In less than half a minute, Wren climbed to the top floor and saw the guards sleeping on the ground with spears in their arms.

He didn't think it was high enough, so he reached out and climbed the eaves of the bell tower, and with a little force, the whole person turned over in mid-air, jumped to the highest point, and landed lightly on the spire.

There are four wooden eaves that stick outward, with a wide view, just enough to stand on people.

Wren walked to the end of the wooden eaves, and was startled.

"it!"

A faint figure appeared in front of him, the other party was wearing a gray-white half-robe, with a short cloak on the back, his head shrouded in a hood, and the whole person was translucent, as if blending into the shadows of the night, which was difficult for ordinary people to see.

At this moment, he crouched there, looking down in the direction of the Pirino estate.

Wren was very surprised, he didn't see this person at all just now!

Could it be that the will to truth also has a time when it can't see through invisibility, or does this person also appear when he has just arrived and climbed the bell tower?

What shocked Wren the most was that the soul eye failed to see through the other party's soul, as if it was blocked by something.

It was the first time he had encountered a Soul Eye failure.

At the same time that Wren noticed this person, the other party also noticed the abnormality and immediately turned back.

Wren is in stealth.

But the distance between the two was less than five steps, and the other party's vision was extremely keen, and the depths of his pupils flashed red, and he could see through Wren's stealth technique at a glance.

Both sides were taken aback.

It's like two blind people groping around, and suddenly they touch a stranger who is close at hand at the same time.

They looked at each other and were stunned for a few seconds.

The gray-white figure was the first to react, leaping forward, and jumping directly from the top of the bell tower with open arms.

"You ......"

Wren took two steps forward, and was about to ask a question, but it was too late.

The gray-white figure fell rapidly, and just a few meters down, his figure quickly faded and disappeared directly in midair.

"Huh?"

Wren's heart changed slightly, because the person had really disappeared.

The dual effect of the soul eye and the will to truth has not been able to find any trace of the other party, as if this person has never existed and entered another world.

Another world......

Wren's mind raced, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

There are two branches of the Shadow Warrior to promote to the Legend, one of which is called the Shadow Assassin, and the "Shadow Escape" element must be upgraded to level 5, and in the soul transformation, it can be advanced to "Shadow Shuttle", or directly fuse with the Demon Soul with the "Shadow Shuttle" element.

The Shadow Assassin can enter the Shadow Plane at any time and take advantage of the peculiarities of the Shadow Plane to appear anywhere!

This ability makes the Shadow Assassin's sneak attack extremely difficult to guard against.

"He's a Shadow Assassin!"

Before Wren's thoughts fell, he heard a sound behind him, and someone appeared behind him, a sharp and incomparable blade, breaking through the air, and striking in an instant.

"Sure enough, it's a shadow assassin......"

Wren didn't turn to look at the sneak attacker, but rushed forward, with a speed of seven levels, even the Shadow Assassin couldn't catch up immediately.

Wren learned from the other party, jumped into the camp, and jumped off the bell tower.

In mid-air, he rolled over and faced upwards, saw the pale white figure, jumped down with it, and then disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of me.

The Shadow Assassin popped out two sword tips from the sleeves of his hands, the narrow blades of which were close to the palms of his hands, and both hands pressed down to stab Wren in unison.

Wren's arm became hard as steel, and he raised his hand to block it.

However, the Shadow Assassin's movements are extremely flexible, and the experience of hand-to-hand combat is very superb, two hidden blades, one left and one right, the left hand pulled out Wren's arm, and the right hand is like a poisonous snake, lightly passing through the gap between Wren's arms, driving straight in, piercing Wren's chest.

Smack!

Several bolts of lightning burst out, and the Thorn Armor automatically counterattacked.

The Shadow Assassin's whole body trembled slightly, and he held off the lightning, and his Hidden Blade pierced through the thorn electric armor, and finally stabbed the skin.

Ding.

The Hidden Blade seemed to be pierced into the steel, splattering a spark that could no longer pierce even a bit.

Beneath the hood, the Shadow Assassin only shows the lower half of his face, with a short beard on the side of his mouth and a small scar on his right upper lip, which makes the short beard a small piece missing, which must have been left many years ago, and is inconspicuous.

At this point, the corners of the Shadow Assassin's mouth twitched uncontrollably, apparently startled by Wren's defenses.

Before he could withdraw his Hidden Blade, a large hand like iron pincers grabbed his wrist, and as soon as it made contact, the big hand contracted inward, and the wrist was in sharp pain, and it was almost pinched off directly.

"Hiss......"

The Shadow Assassin let out a muffled grunt and launched a shadow shuttle, disappearing the entirety.

Wren's hand fell into the air, and he found that he was about to fall to the ground, so he quickly took out the rune book from the ring, stimulated a flash, and his body moved sideways for more than ten meters, unloading the force of the fall, and landed lightly.

He looked around vigilantly, but found no sign of the Shadow Assassin.
