Chapter 171: Assassin Mission, Church Trap
It's a town with a grand western fantasy style.
There are more than 1,000 houses in the square layout of the town, the largest of which is the Holy Cathedral in the center.
The 100-meter-high cathedral, which stands to the east of the town's only fountain square, is made entirely of white stone, with beautiful quartz glass windows painted with various religious and colorful frescoes.
Inside the church are the Divine Judges, clad in blood-colored pentagrams, who guard the peace of the town.
As soon as Lin Han entered the town, he was already vaguely aware of the hostility from the church.
Clearly, the adjudicators didn't like the Assassins wandering in the shadows.
But Lin Han still had to approach the church, observing the terrain around this majestic church, looking for opportunities.
Because according to the task prompt, Lin Han found that the scoundrel Charolo who he needed to assassinate was doing mass in this church.
He had two choices, go in and kill them, or wait and wait for Charolo to leave the church.
Walking around the fountain for a few minutes, Lin Han was a little puzzled to find that the cathedral not only had closed doors and windows, but also had a layer of enchantment arranged outside.
It doesn't seem so easy to lurk in the past.
At this moment, Lin Han heard a voice.
"Young man, have you also come to visit this great holy cathedral?" On the square, next to the fountain pool, Lin Han, who was looking at the cathedral, turned his head to look at the voice.
I saw an old white-haired old man walking slowly a few meters beside him, coarse linen, holding a cane.
His eyes stared at Lin Han with a hint of cunning, as if he knew what Lin Han was thinking.
"Yes, I did want to visit the cathedral, but it seems that outsiders are not welcome?" Looking at the closed wooden door, Lin Han said softly.
"It's natural, the Holy Cathedral is the most important building in this winter wind town, and no one can easily enter Mass except for the local nobles and wealthy people."
"Mass...... How long does it take? Lin Han pondered for a moment, looked at the old man and asked.
"It turns out that the guests are the ones who want to wait for you." The old man's words made Lin Han can't help but glance at the other party, and he can actually guess his purpose from his own inquiry.
"Actually, as a local elder, I know a lot of things." The old man slowly sat on the edge of the pool, leaning on crutches, and looked at Lin Han with a smile: "However, if you want to know something from my mouth, you always need to be paid." ”
"Remuneration?"
Lin Han took his scalp, made a painful expression, and took out two gold coins and put them in the hands of the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man's expression was slightly stunned, then he stared at Lin Han and said, "2 gold coins? You...... It's really generous. ”
"Okay, add another one." Lin Han saw every slight movement of the other party in his eyes, and couldn't help but flash a trace of sharpness in his eyes, and secretly said funny in his heart, while secretly contacting his mercenaries, he took out a gold coin again and handed it to the white-haired old man: "This is one-tenth of my reward, just a little news, it should be enough." ”
"Tsk, you're really stingy, okay, I'll tell you what you want to know." The white-haired old man tapped his cane, coughed, and said, "The Mass of the Holy Cathedral will be held for at least five hours each time, and during the Mass, every participant can receive the gift of the Holy Light and get rid of all diseases. ”
"Five hours?" Lin Han frowned and said, "How long is Mass now?" ”
"Hehe, it's not Mass yet." The white-haired old man said, "In other words, if you plan to wait, you will have to wait at least five hours!" ”
"Five hours...... Is it true that outsiders are not allowed to enter? Lin Han shook his head and asked softly, he looked at the cathedral, he didn't want to really drag on this copy for five hours just for this one task.
"Hehe, this is natural, it won't be." The white-haired old man slowly stood up and walked to Lin Han's side: "As long as you are willing to donate a little gold to the cathedral, the spokesmen of God will always open the door for you." ”
"Really?" Lin Han secretly said that this was indeed the case, and pretended to hesitate and asked, "How many gold coins do you need?" ”
"Well...... white-haired old man thought for a moment and stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty!" The white-haired old man said, "For only 20 gold coins, I can take you into the holy cathedral and attend Mass." ”
"Guest, this is a rare opportunity!"
"Good!" Lin Han nodded happily in agreement, and then said, "But I'll pay after I go in." ”
"Hmm, okay." The white-haired old man was obviously hesitant, but after thinking for two or three seconds, he nodded in agreement.
Hunched over his back and leaning on crutches, he walked in from the alley on the side of the cathedral with Lin Han, and then found a small door near the outer wall of the church, and carefully knocked on the door painted black.
"Squeak."
The small door was quickly opened, and a man in a black monk's robe squinted, glanced at Lin Han, and then said, "Is that him?" ”
"That's right, he's a guest who came to visit our cathedral."
"Hehe, please come in, honored guest." The old man said with a smile and walked behind Lin Han.
Lin Han nodded, stepped into the door, and then followed the road under the leadership of the black-robed priest into a side room of the church.
It is a small, clean prayer room, with a statue of a goddess carved from white jade on the stone wall and an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling, so that the room with only two small windows is not too dim.
"This is a side hall, and if you go through the door over there, you will meet the hall where Mass is being held." The black-robed priest glanced at the white-haired old man, held his head high, and said indifferently.
"Alright, guest, gold...... I guess you can give it to me. The white-haired old man rubbed his hands together and grinned.
"I'm curious, Charolo, how much gold has been given to you to serve him." Looking at the white-haired old man approaching, Lin Han suddenly spoke amazingly!
A stunned expression suddenly appeared on the faces of the white-haired old man and the black-robed priest.
Immediately, the astonishment turned into surprise, and the white-haired old man's hunched back slowly straightened, and the crutch was held in his right hand and turned into a weapon.
"Adventurer, how did you find out that we were at the service of Lord Charloto?"
"It shouldn't be, you're just a newcomer." The white-haired old man frowned and shook his head and said, "How can you see that something is wrong?" ”
"Because of you." Lin Han said softly: "It is no problem to be able to guess from my casual words that I want to enter the church, but you have no reaction to the one-tenth reward I mentioned. ”
"It only means that either you already knew who I am, or you were a liar, a guide who wanted to let him in here from the beginning."
"You ......" the white-haired old man narrowed his eyes: "It's a little clever!" ”
"But what's the use of being clever!" The white-haired old man snorted and laughed, "Haven't you stepped into the trap that Lord Charololo has prepared for you?" ”
"Really?" Lin Han looked around, and smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth: "This trap is a little shabby." ”
"Assassin, I know you're very powerful, after all, there aren't many assassins who dare to take on a mission to kill my Charololo."
A male voice with a feminine style suddenly came from the aisle behind the black-robed priest.
Then, a white-faced, short-bearded man in a bowler hat and a checkered robe approached, accompanied by two divine judges and a large group of guards.
"But how can I, Charolo, be so easy to kill?"
The man with a short beard in a bowler hat stretched out his right hand and waved it lightly, and suddenly the guards behind him quickly dispersed, holding a strong crossbow and surrounding Lin Han.
"Ten level 15 crossbow-wielding militias?"
Lin Han swept over the crossbow-wielding militia who were not much of a danger to him, and set his eyes on the two adjudicators beside Charolo.
It was a unique class of judgment warriors from the temple, and although they were only level 20 elite troops, they often possessed powerful combat skills, and as a stalwart warrior with a religious background, they were not inferior in equipment.
With a level 20 fine heavy armor set that is standard for the Ruling Samurai, coupled with the level 20 Armor Piercing Heavy Hammer and one-handed round shield equipped by the two Judgment Samurai in front of him, Lin Han estimated that even he would need to work hard to kill them, not to mention the other level 15 assassin players.
It can be said that under normal circumstances, those assassin players who thought they had been tricked in could be regarded as being pitted by this quest copy, and they would not even have a chance to escape, so they could be said to have entered a dead end, and they could be regarded as a lesson of blood and tears brought by exchanging a death for despising the natives.
But Lin Han has never despised these natives, he has seen the history of countless players' blood and tears on the forum before he was reborn, and he has also experienced the intrigues of these natives many times, and he can be said to be twelve points cautious when contacting these guys.
Therefore, he discovered that something was wrong with the white-haired old man from the beginning, and roughly guessed that this was a trap by linking the difficulty of the task, the location, and the vague memories of the related tasks he had seen on the forum.
Lin Han, who didn't plan to wait outside for five hours or forcibly hit the church and then be chased by the whole town, chose to deliberately step into this trap and lure out Charolo.
Lin Han informed the Chosen One early and made preparations.
Now seeing Charolo holding his head high and despising himself like an arrogant rooster, Lin Han couldn't help but unconsciously wipe a wicked smile from the corner of his mouth.
"You can still laugh?" Charolo looked at Lin Han's smile with sharp eyes, his face distorted slightly, and said: "You may not realize the seriousness of the matter, do you think that in front of the two ruling warriors, under the 10 strong crossbows, your assassin's escape skills can still save you?" ”
"Run?"
Lin Han took out the highly poisonous sea blue dagger, and said softly: "I finally saw you, and finally I didn't waste time, I saw your arrival, and now it's too late for me to be happy, why do I need to escape?" ”
"Click." Charolo clenched his pale fists, and he couldn't see the expression of fear and despair on the face of the assassin who came to assassinate him, and stared at Lin Han very unhappily: "You guy, let me die!" ”
"Someone, kill him for me!"
"Kill me?"
"Let's worry about yourself first." Lin Han's mind moved at the same time, summoning Li Junjie, Bai Ziwei and others, while he flashed with an arc and stabbed the pale scoundrel Charloto!
