CH.29 The Assassin

Boulder Country, Scavenger Division.

On the surface, this room is nothing special, just like the office of the Chamber of Commerce. On the side of the wall, near the window, there was a table, which was filled with various types of papers, as well as several sound transmission stones.

An old man sat at a table, pushing his thick glasses in his hand, reading a piece of paper.

On the paper was Anrui's name, as well as the corresponding simple information, the most important of which was the several seas where he might be now.

"The prince of the Boulder Kingdom is really capricious, he just came to us two days ago to help kill people, and today he regrets it." The old man shook his head and put the information about An Rui back on the table. He sits here all year round, handling the information of each target, and each piece of paper represents the death of a person.

"Whatever. Anyway, we can receive money if we kill or not, but we will receive less money after revocation. Another clerk grinned. In addition to helping with official duties, he occasionally kills people himself.

"Prince AndrΓ© was anxious when he asked to revoke the mission, urging us to bring back all the Assassins who had been sent out."

"Assassins often have to dress up in disguise when they go on missions, and many of them don't carry sound transmission stones to be on the safe side, and even if we try to call all the Assassins back, the Assassins who send them out may not receive the news." The clerk spread his hands.

"Who sent Lu this time?" The old man asked.

"Cook, Delenn, Fym......" The clerk counted and said more than a dozen names. These assassins were all in the sea where the target might be, and they all took on this mission, and the most powerful of them was probably Ateina. ”

"Atai?" The old man raised an eyebrow. Raising his hand and brushing his white beard, "That kid's assassination talent is really high, he just joined the organization last year, and now he has been promoted to a gold-level assassin." ”

"Yes, the senior management is also very concerned about him, thinking that he is a talent and should be vigorously cultivated. This kid really has a bright future. In the future, I will definitely move up to the Diamond level and beyond. ”

The scavengers follow the usual grading standards used by the seven seas, with the bronze level being the lowest and the god level being the highest. If an assassin wants to increase his level, he has to kill more people and complete more tasks, and his level will naturally increase accordingly.

The two of them in the room talked about the Assassin named Atai. There was a few small talks. Praise was given to the new Assassin.

Then, the old man put down this information sheet about An Rui and picked up other information sheets.

The job of a scavenger is very busy, and he receives several tasks every day.

……

Unbeknownst to Anrui, he had been targeted by a group of assassins, and was still busy with various things at his own pace.

The Devil Vine and the Horned Helm are on their way to the nearest port to repair the Horned Helm. This ship is also a Viking ship at all, and it is worth a lot of money. It's a lot of use, and it's necessary to fix it well.

The nearest port is called Traveler's Port. It is the coastal port of a small country on the Red Earth, and according to the surveyor, the fleet will be able to reach its destination today.

"Ahh Anrui screamed, woke up from his sleep, sat up straight, and gasped for air.

He had just had a nightmare, and he actually dreamed that Bai Ge was looking for him to ask for his life and grabbed his neck with his hand. The feeling in the dream is particularly strong, as if it were happening in reality.

This is not the first time, he doesn't know why he has been dreaming of Bai Ge these days, and every time it is a terrifying nightmare.

"Damn, I didn't dream about what he was doing, and he's not a beauty." An Rui wiped his forehead covered with cold sweat, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

He didn't take it too seriously, he just thought that the impression left by that battle was too deep, which is why these nightmares came out.

An Rui began a new day of sailing life, had breakfast, practiced swords on the deck for a while, and released the tyrannosaurus to let the big guy breathe. He has a lot to do every day, and today is no exception.

By noon, the fleet had reached its destination and landed in the small port known as Traveler's Harbor.

Anrui wanted a decent shipyard in the port, and he didn't feel comfortable handing over his ship to a small shipyard that could only repair fishing boats.

After the fleet docked, An Rui and his party went ashore, inquired with the locals, asked the location of several shipyards, and rushed over. The port was so small that An Rui had only been here twice in his previous life, and both times he left in a hurry, so he was not too impressed.

"This gentleman, it's good, give me a little money." An unkempt beggar crawls on the ground dragging a twisted broken leg, blocking Anrui's path.

An Rui was a warm-hearted person, and with a lot of gold in his pocket, he didn't think much about it and took out a silver coin and threw it at the beggar.

"Mr. Xie Lu, you will definitely live a long life and be rich." The beggar took the silver coin, put it in his bosom, and nodded like pounded garlic.

"Lend you good words." Anrui smiled and walked past the beggar.

At this moment, the beggar suddenly raised his head, and from under the dirty bangs, two chilling rays of light shot out from under the heart-piercing eyes. He straightened his broken leg in an instant, slammed on the ground, leaped to his feet, flicked his wrist, and a dagger slipped out of his cuff and fell into his hand. He clenched the dagger and stabbed at An Rui's neck, and the surface of the dagger swayed with a layer of awe-inspiring energy, and the momentum was amazing.

The energy formed a sharp cone, with a domineering force that was enough to penetrate the dragon scales, approaching inch by inch.

"Not good!" An Rui instinctively dodged to the side at this moment, feeling a huge crisis, and the hairs on his body stood up, and a little goosebumps appeared.

Among the subordinates behind An Rui, several of them who reacted quickly widened their eyes, but they didn't have time to reach out to help, because the beggar's movements were so fast, their speed was no less than that of Sha Fei!

The dagger adjusted its subtle angle in mid-air, arcing, and locked its target on An Rui's neck.

The incomparably sharp energy pierced the skin on An Rui's neck, and a little blood burst out, and it looked like it was about to pierce in!

At the last moment, An Rui temporarily used the ability of the six-pointed star badge, and the whole person disappeared from the spot in an instant, making the energy flutter into the air.

The energy swept by, turning into a silver-white firework, which was fleeting in mid-air.

"Huh?" The Assassin, disguised as a beggar, looked suspicious and quickly retrieved the piercing dagger. The fact that the target was able to avoid this blow showed that he had extremely high strength, coupled with a large group of target man's subordinates not far away, this assassination operation had been completely declared a failure, and there was no chance of victory.

The assassin immediately made a decision, and stepped on the ground again, and the whole person shot backwards, like a sharp arrow off the string, turning into a vague black shadow.

An Rui, who had teleported and disappeared, reappeared, just in time to block the Assassin's path, his face was covered with frost, and he drew his Thundering Sword and slashed at the Assassin. The thunder burst out, like a thousand-year-old tree branching out countless branches, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

The thunder blocked the Assassin's path, and the attack was impenetrable. In this situation, the Assassin twisted his waist and performed a soft body technique to pass through a small gap and avoid the attack.

This time, it was Anrui's turn to be surprised, and the one he thought was foolproof was actually avoided by this assassin!

Under the same circumstances, even if it is replaced by Bai Ge, it cannot be avoided, and it can only be resisted. It can be seen that this Assassin is at least stronger than Bai Ge in terms of speed and agility, and is a true Assassin powerhouse.

The Assassin profession is a branch of the thief profession, which specializes in assassination, camouflage, and stealth, and is not as fancy as a warrior in one move, but extremely lethal, pursuing one-hit kills or even defeats.

After avoiding the thunderous energy, the assassin did not hesitate, and immediately rushed towards the dense complex of buildings next to the docks, and the speed was lightning fast, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. He rushed halfway and flicked his left sleeve and threw two black balls out of it. The orb exploded in midair, forming two thick clouds of smoke that obscured his figure.

The Assassin changed course in the smoke, lowered his body and ran, leaning forward, almost clinging to the ground.

What just happened was a lot of ups and downs, and the whole process didn't add up to a few breaths.

Anrui turned around and chased after the Assassin.

Alice placed the arrow on the bowstring and fired a quick arrow that sank into the smoke and vanished.

An Rui's speed was extremely fast, and he pierced through the smoke in an instant, and when he looked closely, the assassin was gone!

"What a great assassin." An Rui's heart sank, and he raised his vigilance, paying attention to the wind and grass around him, looking for traces of the assassin.

He did not give up, and chased forward for a while, but he could not see any trace of the assassin, and the assassin seemed to have evaporated from the world, without a trace.

"Damn it." Anrui had to stop, look around the bustling street, and take a sip on the ground.

The men behind chased after them, but they were also unable to spot the assassin.

The same question arose in everyone's minds, who sent this assassin, and why did Lu assassinate An Rui?

With such a strong assassin, there must be a mastermind behind the killing.

Everyone quickly remembered Andrei, the prince of the boulder who had thrown a bounty to buy Anrui's head. The assassination took place shortly after Andrei issued the bounty order, and the two were clearly related.

This time, the matter is too hanging, if An Rui had been a little slower just now, there would have been many deadly blood holes in his neck. Even though he dodged fast enough, he was still scratched by the brutal attack, leaving scars.

Alice glanced at the wound on An Rui's neck, her face sank suddenly, and she didn't say hello to An Rui, so she directly grabbed the sound transmission stone she carried with her and sent a message to the queen of Aoki Country.

"Mom, the Great Stone Kingdom sent an assassin to assassinate me!"

This simple sentence is enough to cause great trouble for the Great Stone Country. (To be continued......)
