Chapter 588: Crescent Moon Black Knife
Chen Mo didn't look up and searched around for the traces of the lurkers, who should be a thief of no low rank.
Chen Mo didn't know when the other party entered the room, these rooms on the second floor were all vacant and unowned. If the other party had been waiting here before he arrived, then this terrifying sixth sense would probably be comparable to prophecy.
If the other party is coming after him, the closed doors and windows are enough to prove that the other party has the ability to break through the blockade. Either way, it's enough to prove the ability of this uninvited guest.
Chen Mo sat quietly at the table, took out a map and spread it on the table. Obviously, the facilities of this Eye of the Desert are not complete, and it is not uncommon for them to fall into disrepair. When Chen Mo unfolded the map and pressed it flat in all directions, the broken wooden table suddenly clicked and tilted slightly.
And because Chen Mo stretched his arms extremely wide, his body was slightly out of balance.
The assassin hidden in the shadows naturally did not let go of this opportunity, and a pitch-black dagger suddenly shot out from the shadows, heading straight for Chen Mo's back.
If Chen Mo really lost his balance, it would obviously be impossible to readjust his body posture to avoid this sudden sneak attack. But Chen Mo just dodged it, and he didn't readjust his body's posture. The body that had been a little tilted fell under the table, rolled on the spot, and dodged the blow.
Chen Mo also had to admit that if he hadn't noticed it in advance and had a back hand, it would have been extremely difficult to avoid this secret attack, although it would not be killed, but it would definitely be a little embarrassing.
But Chen Mo quickly changed this idea, and the other party's blow seemed to really have the ability to kill him on the spot!
Chen Mo, who dodged the dagger, rolled under the table, although he did not directly counterattack, but also temporarily blocked the opponent's continued attack with this small table. He was under the table and was about to make further responses, but Chen Mo was a little shocked by the scene in front of him.
Although it was a little rotten, but not so bad, the wooden table looked so fragile under the attack of the dagger. The dagger that flew directly pierced the table, and this was not the end, a violent and familiar feeling burst out from the dagger, Chen Mo only had time to roll and dodge, how could he care about counterattacking.
Chen Mo was suddenly shocked in his heart, this sneak attacker is such a strong method, fortunately, although this dagger pierces the table, it can be regarded as the end of a strong crossbow, the impact power is sharply reduced, and the calculation of attack power is a little tricky, even if a player like himself who is close to a legend is killed by an NPC in seconds, it is not impossible.
As everyone knows, while Chen Mo was surprised, the sneak attacker himself was even more surprised than him. At first, when he saw that his body was out of balance and launched a decisive attack, it was not that he did not think that this was a trap. But his strong self-confidence allowed him to dispel this concern in an instant, no matter whether the other party could find him or not, he was sure to solve the other party, but he didn't expect that under the thunderous blow of his own strength, the other party was unharmed, and he could still look at his position for a long time at the moment, and it seemed that there was no need to hide it anymore.
Looking at the sneak attacker who came out of the shadows, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile. A thief, if lurking, he is still a little afraid, but if it is a head-to-head confrontation, he is not afraid at all, even if this thief is a little strange.
Looking at the dagger inserted on the wooden column on one side, Chen Mo showed a knowing smile and said softly: "Even if Your Excellency accepts the employment, but the new moon has not yet arrived, it seems that it is not your style to do it in such a hurry." ”
What answered Chen Mo was another attack from the other party. Obviously, the opponent has learned the lesson from the confrontation just now, and the hidden weapon is ineffective, so it has changed to hand-to-hand combat.
Although Chen Mo was a little surprised by the other party's strength, since the other party made a move, he also broke off the reason that he was not tied up, and began to fight back immediately.
Although the battle was a bit dangerous, the sneak attacker did not pose a threat to Chen Mo, but the other party's somewhat angry appearance further made Chen Mo confirm his guess. After advancing to a quasi-legend, Chen Mo has not encountered any decent enemies at all, except for being abused by Ulena once, and this person in front of him is really a good sparring partner.
It's a pity that after three or five rounds, the other party saw that he was not Chen Mo's opponent, and he was no longer entangled, but a vertical body, far away, and withdrew, standing at the door, seeing that he was about to go out, Chen Mo said unhurriedly: "Even if Your Excellency leaves, under this black sandstorm, can all of you all go?" ”
Chen Mo's sentence seemed to grasp the weakness of the other party, but the other party also seemed to feel a little funny and said: "Could it be that Your Excellency still plans to leave us all alone?" Although I am not your opponent, I want to deal with so many of us, Your Excellency must be a little presumptuous. ”
This sentence is tantamount to a complete acknowledgment of one's identity. Chen Mo had felt a little strange before, the composition of these seven NPCs was a little strange, except for the human thief who had never spoken, the rest of them seemed to be of the same level, which was not common in ordinary adventure teams.
Whether it's a half-elf scout or a dwarven thief with a talent for treasure hunting, they are basically superior to others in the general team, but in the group of NPCs downstairs, this does not happen. And there is only one reason for this situation, and that is that there is an existence in the team that is strong enough to overwhelm several other people as the absolute core of the team.
And at this moment, standing in front of Chen Mo's eyes, it was this core, but Chen Mo didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a woman, and he didn't expect how the other party entered the room one step ahead of him, just when he entered the room on the second floor, he glanced down through the guardrail, this thief was still in the crowd at the time, and how could he enter the room he chose in such a short time to be ambushed.
But what Chen Mo didn't expect the most was that this somewhat unusual thief turned out to be a former warrior monk, or a part-time warrior monk.
Crescent Blades, a mercenary organization, can hire clients for sabotage or other covert work if their work conforms to their incomprehensible ethics, not in money or anything like that, but in some very strange demands.
But for both a tyrannical king and a just nobleman, these killers are a great danger to them. No one knows what their real purpose is, and perhaps only the leaders of their organization know. No one knows where their base is or where they live except for themselves, so they can only be reached through a series of contacts.
Once the Crescent Black Knives accepted the hiring, they would complete their work on the next Crescent Night, complete with the iconic non-reflective jet-black weapon with crescent moon decorations, which was where the name of their organization came from, of course, as to whether it was given by them or someone else for them, Chen Mo had no way of knowing.
