Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lamp Bearer
Thundered.
A loud roar was heard, and in the flames not far away, an angry figure could be seen looking up to the sky, his body was bandaged, and a spear was held in his hand.
It's the Iron Sword Regiment's powerhouse during the day!
It should be their deputy head of the regiment.
Rod frowned, glanced at the chaotic movement around him, he believed that the officials in the camp should have reacted at this time, and there were more and more figures of some masters in the distance, he knew that it was time for him to go.
Bang!
The giant sword slashed heavily at the scar man, and in an instant, after a false move, the movement of his feet changed, and his whole body was about to rush into the darkness.
The movement was too loud.
Rhodes didn't want to offend the officials of Xiliu City because of this, after all, he still wanted to take off with a hitchhiker after a while.
Camp Osm.
A tall stone watchtower in the central area illuminates the surrounding land with a strong light, and since the city of Westflow opened up its camp here decades ago, the watchtower has been like a loyal guard, shining into the distance every night.
In the camp, a group of soldiers guarded the camp and hurriedly pacified the camp and controlled some of the thorns.
On that watchtower.
A handful of shadows writhed, and several figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.
In the camp.
Rhodes was frowning and looking at the scene in front of him, many adventurers who originally belonged to the evil camp began to take advantage of the mess, not only the Iron Sword Regiment station was messed up, but the surrounding buildings were also smashed by many people.
"Let's go...... Come on...... Haha, it's done! β
Three or four guys with hurried expressions and excited smiles on their faces were running towards Rod's side, all of them holding blood-dripping knives in their hands, and they should have taken advantage of the chaos.
is the so-called "chivalrous use of force to break the ban".
Adventurers are the most likely to riot when they gather together as powerful outlaws, and once there is a disturbance around, this group of people is the most prone to riots.
It's fine in some cities.
The church, the aristocracy, and some armed groups will maintain order in a tacit manner.
This kind of powerful organization, they have a relatively stable source of income, as a vested interest in peace and stability, they know the importance of order, and for those who dare to disturb the order, resulting in the damage to their interests, this group of people has the sharpest knife.
In this kind of border guard tower camp.
Chaos is inevitable.
After the hunt order was issued in Westflow City, many adventurers had some spare money on hand, and in the wild, this group of grumpy guys always had to rub off, and unfortunately, Rhodes unintentionally created a movement to give them a chance to release.
Suddenly.
Rhodes was stunned.
"That's not right! Who! β
He suddenly realized that the surrounding environment was very wrong, and the restless figures in the distance seemed to be gradually moving away from him, and he was like an "outsider" looking at the scenes in front of him.
"Disrupting the order of the camp...... How daring! β
A slender figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
Rod frowned.
"Assassins?" He said in a puzzled tone.
The aura on the person in front of him was almost ethereal, very strange, similar to the shadow stealth state of wanderers and assassins, but it was slightly different, like the illusion of mages.
"It's the lamp bearer."
The looming figure said coldly.
Lamp bearer!
A very peculiar profession.
They are a variant of scouts, killers, but they are adept at using "alchemy" to perform certain killing techniques.
"I have no intention of being an enemy of Xiliu City!"
Rod frowned and said slowly, staring directly at the strange figure in front of him, he shook the giant sword in his hand, and could swing the sword to slash people at any time.
The man in charge of the lamp is a person from the city of Xiliu.
Their profession is usually only found near the "Watchtower Camp".
Reputedly.
Many years ago, the Lamp Bearer was not an independent professional system.
It's just that around the last holy war era, the abyss invaded Ash, and many demons set off a series of killings on the continent, and in that dark age, watchtowers rose from the ground to defend the territory of mankind.
In some sentry camps, alchemists and some army scouts who were banished for forbidden experiments lived for a long time, and finally gradually cultivated this new class system.
To the south of Ash.
A city called Old Town, which is rumored to be the place where the lantern bearers originally originated.
They are the watchmen of every watchtower.
- Specialty Skill [Lamp Protector]
With a single movement, the lantern bearer can make a small flame in his hand, lighting an oil lamp, torch, or similar light-burning object in his hand. This alchemy flame is immensely powerful.
Some lantern bearers also unleash fire-biased spells such as "Light Technique" and "Light of Judgment".
Swish!
The figure stretched out his hand, and a cloud of objects flew towards Rhodes.
"Sign it......" came the cold voice.
Alchemy Contract?
Suspended in front of Rhodes was a scroll with a strange texture, the scroll was made of animal skins similar to sheepskins, and there was a faint smell of alchemy potions on it, and in the darkness, even wisps of magic aura could be seen passing through.
"Huh? There are already a few names on it. β
Rod noticed that there were several other names on it, and it seemed that he was not the only one.
"This scroll seems to be tainted with some demonic breath, once signed, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome to violate the treaty on it......"
Rhodes took a closer look at the contents of the contract.
A killing contract.
The person who signed the contract must complete a kill of the designated person.
"Hmm...... Is my target Sir Cooper of Fort Butai'...... Fort ButaΓ ...... Is that castle over there over there close to Grizzly Hills......" Rhodes thought for a moment, then signed his name very simply.
"It won't be long before the time comes, remember your promise."
The voice of the lamp bearer rang in Rod's ears, and after signing the contract, Rode's responsibility for stirring up the chaos seemed to be revealed.
"Hey, did you sign this contract, and your Xiliu City will cover me?" Rod called out to the lamp bearer and asked with a smile.
There was silence for a while.
The man in charge of the lamp replied, "The contract does not guarantee any security. β
"Understood."
Rod smiled, coldly, and the row of big white teeth stood out against his bloodstains.
The meaning of Xiliu City is clear.
They don't care about a grudge against the Iron Sword Mercenary Group like Rhodes, they just tell you that you have broken certain rules, and this contract is just a punishment price.
As for whether you will be hacked to death by the Iron Sword Regiment, sorry, they won't care.
This contract looks a bit pitiful, forcing people to work hard, and not giving any benefits.
But Rod doesn't think so.
Since Xiliu City will not care about the retaliation of the Iron Sword Regiment, that is to say, they will not care about Rhodes's revenge in the future.
And.
He is worried about how to get on the line with the official Xiliu City, this sleepiness comes to send a pillow, although it is a use of the relationship, but it is also a relationship, he is in a weak position, as long as he hitches a ride in Xiliu City, with his skills, there are many opportunities to show his means in the future.
Come to think of it.
The corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and he frowned again and looked at the blood stains on his body, and then the whole person disappeared into the darkness, it was time to avoid it.
