"That being said, Anna's current subordinates look very good." Xia Chiyu glanced at the woman dressed as a noble lady on horseback and thought secretly, the two guards next to her, one eighty-three and one eighty-one, looked like an unstoppable dick, which made Xia Chiyu a little uneasy.

"Hmph, don't be kidding, although our Assassin Alliance has lost a lot of personnel, there are still elites." Ezio grinned, then turned and waved, "Well, it's up to you next." It wouldn't be nice if I was seen here......"

With that, Ezio arched himself and disappeared into the shadows.

"Okay, then let's wait and see what happens...... Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, Gu Qinyan asked at this time: "Domain skills, how do you plan to design them?" ”

"Indeed, this should be carefully considered." Xia Chiyu sighed and said, "In the final analysis, how to design domain skills is actually more difficult than opening domain skills, right?" After all, it's a skill that can only be designed once. ”

"But I can't help but want to design my skills. I've thought it all out. Su Xing said restlessly, as if his girlfriend had opened a room and waited for him but was called by his mother to clean up.

"This, in fact, I have some ideas, but I haven't thought about it yet." Lacey said with a smile on the side, "I think the idea of eating fish is very good, and after playing against strong enemies, I know what are the shortcomings of my current skill tree." ”

"Yes, I'm in favor of doing that, and hastily designing domain skills will only nullify skills that have been hard to open." Gu Qinyan glared at Su Xing sternly and said, "Do you know that even if your character dies, the domain skills will not disappear again?" It's tied to your character, so don't design me two idiot skills. ”

"I know, I know, are you affected by the rain girl, so you can nag. It's really ......," wakes up and mutters angrily. Then he pouted and said, "I obviously think that the skills I designed are perfect, and they must fit perfectly with my current skill tree." Even after practicing for a while, I'll still design like this. ”

At this time, Lacey wanted to say something, but he suddenly raised his eyebrows, pointed to the street and said, "Hey, the situation doesn't seem to be good, didn't those four players start attacking Anna?!" She's going to hang up! ”

Xia Chiyu glanced at it casually, only to find that the four players of the Assassin Alliance had indeed begun to besiege Anna, and Anna's two guards had been seriously injured at this time. One fainted, and the other was bleeding and dying.

"I'll go~! It's too much of a conversation! It's all the second warlock here, what are you talking about here, I almost missed the right thing! Xia Chiyu said angrily, and the four of them rushed out together.

"What's that...... Sorry, the conversation was a little too exciting, and I didn't even realize that there was a good show of four big men bullying a woman here. Xia Chiyu stopped in front of the four "villains" of the Assassin Alliance and smiled, "It may be a bit abrupt to ask this question, but can we also join the four of us in this play?" ”

Immediately, Gu Qinyan, Reis, and Su Xing also flashed one after another. blocked in front of Xia Chiyu: "The villain drove to the ......"

"No, it looks like it's decent this time." Reis reminded in a whisper beside him, Gu Qinyan reached out and put it on the handle of the Taidao knife on his waist, and asked lightly: "Can you give face." How about retreating like this? It also saves time ......"

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Gu Qinyan's eyes. The professions of these four villain actors are mages, assassins, swordsmen, and knights, and their ranks are around eighty to eighty-three, as for strength......

The four of them went to chat just now. I didn't notice the strength of these four people.

"Hmph, it's impossible to step down, but don't blame us. We are also commanded to act. It's just taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others. The spearhead Assassin grinned, deftly swung the dagger in his hand in a circle, then took a step back, his figure disappearing into the shadows in an instant. The next moment, Xia Chiyu only felt the sound of the wind behind him, but instead of opening up the spiritual force field, he released the flame nova.

A circle of flames centered on him spread out in all directions, and the battle began.

Gu Qinyan, Su Xing, and Reis each chose a target to disperse, and also took advantage of the situation to avoid Xia Chiyu's flame nova.

However, there were four figures that dodged, and the stealthy assassin emerged from the shadows, and landed on the ground deftly, without stopping, and immediately moved at high speed. Looking at it this way, Xia Chiyu knew that the other party did have considerable PVP experience.

When fighting a master and a mage, always make sure that you are on the move as much as possible to avoid being restrained by the mage. Because the spells in AO are not tracking, mages will usually bind agile enemies such as assassins first.

"Very smart, but ......," Xia Chiyu said, raising his left hand coldly, and a steel wall rose from in front of the assassin, "Your movement trajectory is too monotonous." ”

The Assassin was startled, but he was also agile and barely reacted, braking suddenly, but only slightly slowing down his forward speed and not being able to avoid a collision. Therefore, the assassin raised his feet and pressed on this steel wall, ready to bounce with his strength, but Xia Chiyu immediately reached out and pressed it on the ground and shouted: "Alchemy! ”

The Steel Gate changed instantly, and the solid metal turned into a liquid state, flowing towards the Assassin, and then solidified into a cage. A few sword lights flashed, and the metal that had not yet fully solidified turned into liquid metal and scattered and splashed out, and the assassin also escaped from it, and just as he landed, a six-pointed star circle appeared under his feet.

"Oh no......" The assassin secretly screamed, his body was surrounded by a black smoke, and the next moment he fell lightly to the ground from behind Xia Chiyu. Xia Chiyu frowned and said to himself, "Sure enough, did you still come to this set?" ”

"Tsk, I was forced out first, so there was no way!" The assassin said, raising his dagger and attacking Xia Chiyu.

The Assassins' skill Shadow Step, which can teleporte behind the enemy, is actually a skill that gives the mage quite a headache, but fortunately, the mage himself also has a stand-in skill, and the cooldown time is exactly the same as the Assassin's shadow step. As a result, during combat, the Assassins would usually force out the mage's stand-in before unleashing a fatal blow with Shadow Step.

How to deal with the Assassins and force each other's skills is the key to the battle between the Assassins and the Mage.

And there is no doubt that Xia Chiyu has the upper hand in this encounter. The assassin's shadow step was forced out, but Xia Chiyu still had a stand-in skill. However, the situation is still unsettled for the time being.

Because, now this assassin has been sure that as long as his attack can hit Xia Chiyu next, then Xia Chiyu will definitely use a stand-in, and he can immediately catch it after knowing that the opponent's next skill is a stand-in. Therefore, the assassin danced the dagger in his hand in a circle, and accelerated towards Xia Chiyu's ribs and back of the heart with cold light.

"It's a little difficult for me to force out my stand-in so easily." Xia Chiyu said. Reaching out and snapping his fingers, a circle of golden light spread around him. But this assassin was also on guard against the spiritual force field, and when he saw Xia Chiyu stretching out the force field, he immediately withdrew his dagger, took a step back, and circled around Xia Chiyu, waiting for the spiritual force field to disappear.

At the moment when the spiritual force field disappeared, the assassin also circled from Xia Chiyu's left side to the right side and attacked again.

"Very smart......" Xia Chiyu frowned slightly. The assassin knew that he was going to succeed, and the dagger in his right hand swept past Xia Chiyu's neck. And Xia Chiyu's figure slowly turned into a phantom and dispersed......

"Out, stand-in!" The assassin said, immediately pulling back. According to his judgment. Since the opponent's stand-in is illusionized, then he must be stealth waiting by the side now, as an assassin, he doesn't have a wide range of attack skills to find out the location of this mage, so the best way is to temporarily retreat from the opponent's attack distance. Maintain irregular movement at high speed to avoid being ambushed.

But just as he was about to retreat, large monstrous vines burst out in all directions from Xia Chiyu's scattered figure. As soon as I touched him, I was crazy about it. He swung his dagger and tried to cut it off, but the vine was as tough as a cowhide band, quickly engulfing him, and then dragging towards the shadow of Xia Chiyu in the center.

"Damn, it's devil grass!" The assassin cursed secretly, but it was too late, and Xia Chiyu appeared not far behind him.

"You're really unexpected, it's easy to be seen through." Xia Chiyu said with a flat face, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and a flame ignited from the devil grass, followed by a violent explosion, engulfing the figure of the assassin.

"Just in case...... Xia Chiyu raised his hand at the center of the explosion and raised his hand, and a magic circle appeared in the area at the center of the explosion.

"Six stars break through the sky, light teeth bury ......" Xia Chiyu said coldly, the six-pointed star array appeared in the center of the field, and then the rain of arrows of light fell from the sky, gathering the smoke from the scene, and at the same time penetrating the body of the enemy in the central area.

"New style of play, used to it?" Gu Qinyan said lightly, and inserted the knife back into the scabbard.

"I'm almost used to it, and it does feel much better than before." Xia Chiyu said with a flat face.

Xia Chiyu's style of play has three points, the first point is to abandon the hand-to-hand combat of the staff and the thin sword. Although he is also armed with a staff and a rapier, he does not use them. Because his skill matching is a traditional flow of mages, hand-to-hand combat is just used to pretend to be forced, but in fact, it is not needed in actual combat, so for the sake of regular competition, he simply gave up this.

Casting spells with both hands doesn't seem to make much of a difference, but it's not. Wielding an arm is much faster than wielding a staff or sword, and just a small change will allow him to lock on to his target and decide on his next spell more quickly. Also, using the palm of your hand to determine the target of a spell doesn't seem to be as obvious as a staff or sword......

The second change is that his light spell will blow away the smoke on the field. Explosions in spells will cause smoke and obscure vision at the same time, which is a given. But once the field of vision is blocked, it will put the mage in a disadvantageous situation, it can be said that I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, if the opponent has a life-saving skill, it is easy to be counterattacked by the enemy.

Therefore, Xia Chiyu set his light spell to a blowing effect, which can disperse the smoke on the field, in fact, this has not changed much, and it will not occupy too much position in the comprehensive value of skills, so Xia Chiyu's skill damage is basically the same as before, and it has not been weakened.

And the third point, which is actually the brightness of his light spells, makes the light of the spells brighter, so that after he uses a double or invisibility spell, the enemy can't see his translucent shadow.

"You're over there, too?" Xia Chiyu glanced at Reis and Su Xing and asked.

"Ah, it's boring. It's clear that it's an elite, and it can't even force a big skill. Su Xing said with a flat face, and threw the person he was carrying in his hand aside. After all, it was acting, Xia Chiyu did not continue to pursue, and neither Lacey nor Gu Qinyan made a dead move. All four players are still able to act.

At this time, the assassin who was fighting with Xia Chiyu stood up from the center of the light rain and threw a smoke bomb on the ground, a large white mist rose from the ground, and the figures of these four people immediately disappeared into the white mist.

"Oh? Is it escape or the last fight......" Xia Chiyu said to himself curiously, raised his hand, and a circle of white wind blew away from Anna's side, but it did not hit any enemy, and the four of them did retreat.

"It's right, it's just acting, there's no need to ......be so serious," Xia Chiyu scratched the back of his head and thought secretly. The four of them had no intention of pursuing.

"So, we're ...... How will it be changed after that? Su Xing said with some hesitation.

"I don't know, I think it's more natural for us to do good deeds now without leaving a name, and leave silently, right?" Lacey asked, frowning. Gu Qinyan just hugged his arms and shook his head helplessly.

However, before they could figure out what to do next, Anna took the initiative to meet them.

"You four!" She trotted all the way to Xia Chiyu and the others, and said with a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have confessed here today! ”

Xia Chiyu took a closer look at the red spider Anna, this is a very beautiful but too bewitching woman, and her makeup is a little thick. Dressed like a medieval noblewoman, her golden-brown curls are tied to her waist.

Her figure is convex and backward under the background of this dress, with the plumpness unique to Western women, but in Xia Chiyu's opinion, it is a little bloated. He prefers the delicate beauty of oriental women.

Xia Chiyu thought back to the precautions that Ezio had explained to them before, and guided the topic in the direction that Ezio had mentioned: "Thank you for not needing, we just happened to pass by." But I can't see it. Such an attractive woman could provoke such a troublesome enemy. Your guards look ...... It's all amazing. ”

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu glanced at the two guards who were more than eighty levels and said. Although he didn't watch the previous battle, he believed that the other party had protected the red spider Anna for so long, and his strength would not be much worse. The four so-called "elites of the Assassin Alliance" can easily defeat these two guards, and they should rely more on the number of people to suppress, after all, four to two is still very difficult.

Of course, I don't know if these four "elites" released water when they fought with them, or if they were indeed just like that, in Xia Chiyu's opinion, in fact, their strength was not very outstanding.

"You four, you're not from this continent, are you?" Anna asked immediately.

"Huh, is that obvious?" Gu Qinyan crossed his arms and asked coldly.

"Yes, obviously." Anna said, waving her hand, "Just look at the other people's reactions, right?" ”

Xia Chiyu looked around, only to find that in the battle just now, except for the four of them, everyone else on the street had no intention of helping at all, and most of them were just waiting to see a good show, or pick up a bargain.

"Okay, it's true that we're not from these two districts, this time we're just here to practice and buy some materials to go back. Last time, I tasted the dark melody from the little girl in our guild, but I heard that the supply of the main material of the dark melody Dark Bodhi has been a bit tight recently, so I had to come here in person. Xia Chiyu explained. These words were made up by him in conjunction with the information provided by Ezio.

"Huh? Dark Bodhi? Anna held her chin and smiled, "That thing has been a little tight lately, because a certain old fox has been trying to raise the price lately, so he would rather let the ingredients rot after the expiration date than sell them......

As she spoke, a hint of cunning flashed in Anna's eyes: "However, I do have some stock on hand, if you want, I can give you a little, it can be regarded as the reward for saving me this time." ”

"Hmph, is there any price to pay?" Gu Qinyan asked coldly beside him. Anna quickly covered her mouth and chuckled, "How come? I said that I thank you for saving me, and I won't ask you for anything in exchange. But ......"

"But?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow and took Anna's words. Anna smiled charmingly: "Don't worry, I just want to ask which guild you are from, are you interested in coming to my side to help me?" ”

"It's really easy to get hooked, anyway, we don't need to take the lead at all, this woman's purpose in the first place was to win over the four of us." Xia Chiyu sighed secretly in thought, and then said lightly: "I'm sorry, I won't withdraw from the club." ”

"We said that at the beginning, right? It was the little girl in the guild who made us a dark melody, so we came over to find some materials. Xia Chiyu said without interest, "So, let's withdraw from the meeting, we don't have to think about it." ”

"No, no, no," Anna hurriedly waved her hand and smiled, "I don't mean to let you quit the meeting." You see, the people who came here today said that, right? It's taking people's money to help people, so I'm sure that these people are either from the Assassins League or the Thieves Association, and now the Assassins' Alliance is ...... It's almost certainly from the Thieves Association. ”

"Damn, this bastard Ezio killed two birds with one stone, and planted a dirty ......," Xia Chiyu thought secretly.

As she spoke, Anna pretended to be pitiful and folded her hands and pleaded, "So, you see, isn't it dangerous for me to be targeted by two guilds who are so terrible?" So, can you be kind enough to protect me for a while? ”

Xia Chiyu pretended to hesitate for a moment and continued: "Well, we've just been idle for a while. ”

"It's okay, aren't you able to teleport between your own district and the twenty-sixth district?" Anna smiled slyly, "Actually, I don't need you to protect me, after all, I'm a weak woman, how long can I protect myself?" Women still have to take the initiative to strike and strangle the trouble in the cradle. So no one will come to trouble me, right? ”

"What do you mean......" Gu Qinyan asked indifferently, while Anna covered her mouth and smiled, "That is, let you teach those bastards who bullied me a lesson, but of course I won't let you help me in vain." First of all, of course, I will provide you with the sufficient amount of Dark Bodhi you need, and I promise to pay you quite well. ”

Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows, obviously hesitating. Anna struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Seriously, it's very difficult for you to get Dark Bodhi in AO at the moment, basically there is no price, because most of the supply is in the hands of a few people hoarding, so I am one of the few people who can provide you with this thing." ”

Su Xing smiled subtly and made an exaggerated expression. Xia Chiyu hesitated and said: "Yes, I won't ask you to give us some simple tasks, after all, the four of us have also had some friction with some people in the Dark Continent, but I will make it clear." Your reward should ideally be proportional to the difficulty of the task. ”

"Don't worry, you're satisfied." Anna said with a smile, and then clicked on the social interface by herself, "I'll add your friends first, and wait for my news." It just gives you a little time to think about it, what do you think? ”

Xia Chiyu knew that Anna actually wanted to investigate their backgrounds by the way to see if they were really powerful. Although from the battle just now, the four of them showed a very solid pvP foundation, but the two sides actually fought not fiercely, did not fight with their lives, and their big skills were not used, so Anna did not know their details.

On the one hand, she said that it was for them to think about it again, and on the other hand, she was also giving herself enough room to maneuver.

Once she found out that the four of them were false, then Xia Chiyu could be sure that their friend would be deleted by this woman the next morning, and there would never be a response. At this point, he could only hope that the "background" prepared by Ezio's side for the four of them was tempting enough.

"Whatever you want, it's not what we asked for anyway, so it's better to say it as soon as possible if you're not satisfied." Xia Chiyu didn't pretend to be confused, but broke Anna's purpose with one word, turned his head and nodded to Gu Qinyan and the others.

The four of them turned to leave, and when they woke up, they bared their teeth and smiled: "I said, the four of us are really Oscar-level actors." ”

"Shut up, you're the most fake." Gu Qinyan whispered angrily, "If you don't know how to act, you can learn from Lacey, just nod honestly on the side." (To be continued......)
