Chapter 10: Hunting
Crunch~
There was an unpleasant creaking sound from the door of the wooden house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Buck immediately woke up.
He smelled a strong murderous aura, he had always lived on the brink of life and death in his previous life, and he was sensitive to signs of danger.
A dark shadow quickly vanished after the door rattled!
This is...... Sneak fast! An advanced specialty derived from the Thief's housekeeping ability to stealth to 100 points!
This is at least a level 7 thief......
So there is not the slightest chance of getting out of the way......
It was only a few breaths, and Buck had quickly judged the conclusion in his mind.
Thieves are different from priests, they are too strong in hand-to-hand combat, not to mention that he has not yet taken up any profession, and he is too weak now.
He had never hated his weakness so much......
"Damn, just give me another month......"
He glanced bitterly at Isul, who was sleeping soundly, the girl had been training too hard during the day to be aware of the impending danger.
"I can't implicate Isur...... "A level 7 thief only needs a backstab to deal with a level 1 paladin, and a level 1 paladin can't see through the stealthy thief......
"There is no other option......
Without hesitation, he flipped to the ground on his side, without the slightest pause, rushed open the door, and ran out without looking back.
Since the thieves are targeting me, I can shift the battlefield!
This change was not expected by the sneaking thief, but a mockery immediately appeared on his face, with the speed at which the prey had just run out, it was estimated that the agility was less than 15, could he run?
De-stealth and stay behind Buck. He didn't bother with Ysul, who was awakened, his goal was clear, it was Buck.
At night, the slums are much deserted compared to the day.
In the gray night, Buck deftly navigated the narrow alleys, occasionally knocking down the baskets that had been pushed by the roadside, hoping that they would delay the pursuers for a moment.
As he was running at full strength, Buck suddenly made a sharp stop and gasped for breath.
Directly in front of him, a dark figure slowly walked out of the night......
Without a bit of nonsense, the black shadow burst forward, and the dagger in his hand turned into a little cold and attacked Buck.
It's an instant kill......
An important specialty of the Assassins.
Buck was familiar with this move, and when he was just an ordinary paladin, he died on it while playing against a master assassin player. It was his only early defeat in battle, so he remembered the move.
Instant kill, will be a critical hit!
Instant kill, gain an additional bonus to attack range! Enhance hits by one level!
Instant kill, an assassin can only be used once a day!
There was no way for him to dodge this move, even if he knew every detail of the instant kill. If he has 20 agility, he may be able to try to dodge.
Now his physical fitness can't keep up with the instructions of his brain at all!
So, all he could do was -
He squatted down with his head in his hands and yelled hoarsely: "Don't kill me, I surrender!! ”
The shadow froze, slowing down, and although Lord Degas had asked him to come and hunt for sacrifices, the sacrifices didn't have to be killed......
Seeing that the roar was effective, Buck continued to say sincerely: "Spare my life, and I'll take ...... with my hands tied."
He tore his clothes into strips of cloth, biting them with his teeth and began to tie his hands. In order to show his hard work, no matter how hard he tried, his face turned red. With the positive attitude, the black shadow is wondering who is the prey?
It's the first time I've seen such a strange existence in the assassination career for such a long time.
Thinking about it this way, the black shadow killing intent was greatly dissipated, since this is the case, it is better to bring the prey back directly, and let the adults dispose of it......
"Your Excellency...... You see...... I'm already tied! ”
"Where to go, you lead the way, I will follow you......"
The black shadow was speechless for a moment and turned to leave.
The sound of the system sounds: persuasion is successful, negotiation ability +5!
Also gained a specialty!
Buck trotted after the shadow, he had no idea of running away. It was hard to convince the Black Shadow not to do it immediately, and if he escaped now, it would be a real death.
For now, all I can hope is that Isul will find help......
The Dark Shadow is also very confident, and never looks back, only occasionally deliberately slowing down so that Buck can keep up with him.
The two walked briskly in the slum one after the other. If it weren't for Buck's own hands tied, no one would have imagined that the relationship between the two would be that of an assassin and a prey......
Very familiar path, this is ...... Dragon & Rose Tavern!
Buck stared at the tavern in front of him in a daze.
How could it be here?
The Dragon and Rose Tavern is the only adventurer's tavern in Valen, where almost all adventurers gather.
Where people come and go, I didn't expect it to be a secret base.
At this time, it was late at night, and the tavern had already closed, but the black shadow was familiar with the road, rhythmically pulling the door panel.
This is a communication method handed down by the shadow thief, which allows him to quickly reveal his identity.
The door opened, and a bald fat man poked his head out with a twisted fat body.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time......"
He took a deep look at Buck behind him, as if to confirm his identity, and then entered the tavern.
Buck followed the dark shadow to the kitchen of the tavern.
There are traces of smoke everywhere, dirty and messy, and untreated vegetables and meats piled up in it.
The black shadow lowered his body and pushed away an inconspicuous wooden plank on the ground, and a dark secret passage suddenly appeared......
This is the most common tavern cellar, and I didn't expect it to be used as a hidden nest......
Buck could clearly feel the dull smell coming to his face, an unpleasant smell characteristic of long periods of unventilated space.
At first, Buck couldn't see anything clearly, he had no expertise in dark vision, and his vision was severely limited in the dark.
As his eyes gradually adjusted to the faint light, he was surprised to find that this secret passage had been created directly with a spell.
There was not the slightest trace of construction in this secret passage, it was completely integrated, as if it had been naturally generated, and only magic could achieve this effect.
Such a long secret passage, what kind of superb earth-based magic attainments must be required to create it in one go! Buck became more and more cautious about what was going to happen.
Wrong!
Seems to have overlooked a very important thing!
Buck suddenly realized why such a long secret passage was not equipped with any magic lighting!
It's fine if it's just an ordinary secret passage, after all, magic items are very expensive, and it's normal for ordinary people to not be able to afford them......
However, the entire secret passage is made of magic, but it lacks magical lighting......
It's like being a legendary piece of armor, but without a heart guard......
Then there is only one conclusion: they reject the light......
Buck took a deep breath, thinking of some rumors from the previous Valen. He wondered if it would have anything to do with his current experience......
Valen City, as a small city in the Federation, not only has a deep memory in his mind, but also has a strong mark in the history books of mankind.
That's because at the beginning of the Year of Turmoil, Valen City was the first human city to be completely reduced to the territory of dark creatures!
History calls it the "Lost Land"!
