Chapter X: MI3
Compared to Fleming's low-level magic academy, the situation in the garden area was much better, and there were very few people who were actually killed.
Although there are many Dark Elf Assassins infiltrating Gliston City, this number is very, very small compared to the total number of hundreds of thousands in Griston City.
However, the huge movement of the Academy of Magic woke up many people in the garden area, originally at this time of the night, there were not many people on the street, but tonight, the street was still noisy.
Occasionally, a terrible cry can be heard from a luxuriously decorated villa mansion, which must be the body of the assassinated person.
Half an hour after Link walked down the street, he was already deeply aware of the chaos in Griston.
There was such a big commotion in the Academy of Magic, and so many big people in the garden area were assassinated, but the patrol guards who used to appear and maintain order at the first time could not even see a shadow today.
"The commanders of the city defense department must have died, right?" Link sighed inwardly and continued walking.
There were many people in the streets, some robbers, some stealers, some rapists, there was no order, and all the scum who usually hid in the shadows began to come out and make trouble.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, the effects of Link's secondary stealth and light foot skills had disappeared, but he was not worried about being exposed, he had completely blended into the crowd in the garden area.
Ahead, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes rushed towards him, holding a dagger in his hand, his eyes flashing, and his face was fierce, looking like he was ready to rob him.
Link still walked forward, and at the same time stretched out his hand, the magic energy in his body surging, and this hand emitted a faint light.
"Don't mess with me!" He whispered, and there seemed to be ice in his voice.
It turned out to be a magician, the down-and-out middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed a twinkle of fear, and as soon as his steps turned, he immediately gave up on Link and turned to look for other targets.
To ordinary people, magicians are mysterious and powerful, and to provoke them is to kill themselves.
By the time Link walked through most of the garden area, more than half an hour had passed, and the streets were getting more and more crowded and chaotic, and several buildings began to catch fire, and the people in the buildings were crying, some people were fighting the fire, but more people were looting.
"Order is collapsing at a rapid pace." Link sighed in his heart, there was nothing he could do about this situation.
After walking some further, a river appeared in front of me, the river was not wide, about twenty meters, and there was a small pier by the river, on which several small boats were tied.
It is a small tributary of the Gris River in the city.
Link's heart moved, and he immediately walked over, and when he reached the river, he untied a small boat, jumped on it, picked up the oars and pushed the river bank hard, and the boat went down the river.
He did this to prevent the Academy of Magic Assassins from tracking him.
"The Dark Elf mage who is about to appear in the academy will definitely come to me with tracking magic. However, he is only a level 2 magician, and the tracking means are nothing more than smells, footprints and the like, I'm on the river now, see how you find me! ”
In the game of his previous life, Link had never seen that magician, but the game had a forum, and he usually went to the forum when he had nothing to do, read the strategy, and he remembered all the dark elf powerhouses that appeared in the Blood Moon Change.
Link even remembered that the magician's name was Home.
The tracking methods of low-level mages are basically the same as those of ordinary people, so Link can use some ordinary means to counter.
If the other party is a high-level magician who can track the magic breath, or if it is more advanced, it will search for the soul breath, or even more powerful, and can release the anchor of the mind, then Link is really dangerous.
After drifting on the river for more than ten minutes, about five or six hundred meters of waterway, Link saw a pier and rowed his oars to let the boat dock.
He couldn't row, but the river wasn't fast, and after a while, he managed to get ashore.
He got to the shore and walked for a while, and it was the exit from the garden area.
The garden area is out of the commercial trade area, this place is prosperous, very lively during the day, but because the rent of the shops is extremely expensive, so not many people live here, late at night, except for some guards in the shops, there is basically no one on the street.
The same is true tonight.
There was no one on the streets of the business district, the oil lamps on both sides of the road were extinguished, the streets were dark, and from time to time there was a gust of night wind, and the garbage left over during the day was blown around, looking extremely bleak.
Passing through the business district, you will be at the city gate, from where you can go out of the city.
"The army of dark elves will arrive soon, and if I stay in the city, I will face a massacre, and now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally go ahead!"
Thinking of this, Link resolutely left the garden area and entered the business district.
When he opened his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already 11:36 in the middle of the night, and the magic energy in his body had recovered to 32 o'clock.
In the previous game, the Dark Elf army began to officially attack the city at half past 1 in the morning, the city was completely undefended, and the city gate was still controlled by the Dark Elf assassins, so the army could be said to have entered the city directly.
Then, the slaughter began, and by dawn, more than 100,000 people had been killed by sacrifice, and the broken bodies of the soulless were thrown like garbage in the Griesh River!
It was half-past eleven, and if nothing else happened, he had two hours to escape Griston.
There's still plenty of time.
The streets of the business district are too depressed, and it is very noticeable to walk alone on the pick-up, and for safety, Link once again unleashes secondary stealth and silence for himself.
After walking for about twenty minutes, when Link was about to cast a second mute spell on himself, he arrived at the most central part of the business district, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a clear sound of swords clashing in the alley next to him.
"Someone! Still fighting! Link was shocked in his heart: "The voice is very intense, it is definitely not an ordinary gangster fight, is it the surviving elite in the city?" ”
Link immediately followed the sound and walked over.
The alley was very deep, and the light inside was extremely dim, but fortunately there were no clouds at all tonight, and the moonlight was shining down, and I could barely see the situation in the alley.
There were four living people standing in the alley, a corpse.
Of the four living men, three of them wore gray-black leather armor in the style of a Dark Elf Assassin, and three were Dark Elf Assassins, and they surrounded a person.
The man was dressed in blue-black leather armor, and although he was masked like the Dark Elf Assassin, it was clear from the outline of his exposed ears that he was a Terran.
The corpse lying on the ground belonged to the Dark Elf Assassin, and apparently, the Terran warrior paid some price for killing this Dark Elf, and Link saw a long blood streak on his left arm, and the blood was dripping rapidly.
The four of them didn't speak, just confronted each other in silence.
The three Dark Elf Assassins were clearly jealous of the Terran in front of them, and their full attention was on him, as they slowly approached their opponents.
The Terran Assassin was slowly retreating, but behind his alley was a dead end, and he quickly retreated to the end, with no way back but to lean back against the wall.
He held a dagger in each hand, which, judging by its luster, had no ability to resist demons.
This is also normal, anti-magic weapons are very expensive and not everyone can have them.
When the two sides were about to start a war, the Terran suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Hehe, the teleportation tower has been destroyed, and your plan has gone bankrupt!" ”
A Dark Elf Assassin spoke, "There is no Teleportation Tower, and we still have the Crows. The news could still be transmitted to the army, but it was only delayed by half an hour. ”
"Letter crow? As soon as it is dark in the sky above Gliston City, there are bloody-eyed night owls, which are specially raised by the city defense department to deal with letter crows, how much chance do your letter crows have to send the news out, huh? ”
This was true, and the Dark Elf Assassin retorted wordlessly, "It's not our job to get the word out. Now, our mission is to kill you. As a peer, I will leave you a whole corpse. ”
With that, the dark elf assassin rushed forward, and the two companions beside him also shot at the same time.
Three against one!
At the mouth of the alley, listening to the conversation between the two parties, coupled with the iconic blue-black leather armor on his body, Link had already guessed the identity of this Terran assassin.
"It's MI3!"
MI3, the intelligence agency of the Norton Kingdom, its main function is to fight against the infiltration of the Northern Dark Elves, before the Blood Moon Change, although the Norton Kingdom and the dark elves in the Black Forest maintained peace on the surface, but in secret, the intelligence agencies of the two sides infiltrated each other, and the fight was extremely fierce.
Correspondingly, the Assassin Order of the Dark Elf Kingdom is called the Hand of Death.
The occurrence of the Blood Moon Change means that MI3 is completely defeated in this intelligence war.
However, hearing the conversation between the two gave Link a clearer idea of the current situation in Grisestone.
"It seems that Gliston City is not without a chance at all, and the Norton Kingdom is not completely unaware of the occurrence of this raid, but maybe the attack of the Dark Elves came too fast for the Norton Kingdom to react If the arrival of the Dark Elf army is delayed, will the disaster in Grisestone City be avoided?"
As soon as the idea was born, Link's brain jerked, and a message appeared in it.
"Complete the third step of the mission: escape.
The player gains 20 free points.
Start the fourth mission: Rescue
Content: Help the Terran Assassins in the Commercial District defeat the Dark Elves.
Mission reward: 10 free points.
There are 10 points of freedom to save someone, and of course Link will not miss such a good thing, and he chose to accept it without hesitation.
