Chapter 13: All beings are equal before the trolls
Wren hid behind a bush to observe the manor, because he was too far away to hear the movement inside, and waited for a long time and no one came out.
He looked up at the sky, thick clouds obscured the moonlight, and it was pitch black all around.
So taking advantage of the night, approaching the manor in the dark, he spent more than half an hour going around to the woods next to the manor, climbed a big tree, poked his head out from behind the trunk, and looked condescendingly at the inside of the manor.
Open the Eye of the Soul, turn up the brightness, and the entire manor becomes clearly visible, as if it were day.
Wren's eyes are focused, the picture is enlarged in his eyes, and all the details are clearly visible.
The overall layout of the estate is simple, with a three-storey house as the main body, with a large meadow in front, a stable next to it, and a small garden at the back, which is not much different from an ordinary private estate.
At this time, the lights were on in the room on the second floor, and occasionally the shadow of someone passed through the window, but no voice could be heard.
Wren changed positions several times in a row, exploring the manor from different angles, but nothing was gained.
The only thing that is certain is that there are not many people inside, except for Asperger and Ramsay, who have just entered, there are at most two or three servants, otherwise it would not be so quiet.
"Didn't they come out tonight to rob, or did they have to wait until a little later to leave?"
Wren guessed in his heart.
"We can't wait any longer, tonight is the best time. Otherwise, the next time both of them are here, I don't know when it will be due. ”
Wren made a quick decision and decided to do it in the evening.
He left the manor, and did not hesitate to expend his physical strength to enter the city and return to the hotel as quickly as possible, entered the room, took out the bag under the bed, poured out the parts, and quickly assembled it into a shotgun.
Try firing a few times with empty ammunition to make sure there is no problem, fill the magazine, and then wrap the gun in a black bag and carry it behind your back. One by one, the remaining bullets were stuffed into leather chains, tied around the waist like belts, and covered with coats.
In addition, there was a dagger with a sheath, which was bought from a guest of an inn for 30 copper riso the other day, and the guy lost playing cards and exchanged the dagger for money.
Finally, a black face towel is tucked into your pocket for later use.
After double-checking that everything was ready and that nothing was missed, Wren set off.
Downstairs, passing Zoltan and Roger, Wren nodded to them as usual, and left the hotel.
Roger, who was concentrating on playing cards, turned his head to look at Wren's back, touched his chin, but did not speak.
It's night, and the streets of Rien are very few people, and the patrolling guards are barely visible, and Wren is familiar with the area, avoiding some dangerous neighborhoods where accidents often occur, and heading south on a path that is not guarded by checkpoints.
In fact, even if he was interrogated by the guards at most, Wren would be allowed to pass as long as he showed his pass to the Transcendent Academy.
As for the shotgun on the back, the form looks like a long sword and doesn't attract much attention.
The city of Longshand is full of people carrying weapons every day, everyone is used to it, and in a world where the transcendent is rampant, it is impossible to ban weapons from the streets.
Soon, Wren returned to the outside of the manor.
It had only been a little more than an hour since he left, and Esperger's and the others were still inside.
Wren sat down and thought about how to do it.
First of all, it is too dangerous to rush into the manor, it is simply looking for death. He didn't know anything about the environment inside the manor, he didn't know which room Asperger was in, and the servants, and he was also a great threat, and he would definitely die if he fell into the siege.
Secondly, the initiative of the battle must be in your own hands, and you must make Esgerber the first target, preferably with the first shot.
As soon as the most dangerous Asperger died, Ramsey had nothing to worry about.
"Then we have to wait for them to come out. ”
Wren didn't know when Ashperger would come out, but it didn't matter because there was only one way out of the manor, and he could choose an ambush point on that road.
He walked back along the road and soon found a sweet spot.
This is more than 400 meters away from the manor, on both sides of the road is a large area of grass, dense weeds grow to knee height, people squatting in the grass is difficult to be found, but as long as you stand up, the field of vision is very wide, within a radius of two or three hundred meters without obstruction.
Asperger is a Shadow Warrior, and his strongest ability is Shadow Escape, which requires shadows and complex terrain to be most effective.
But in this grass, as long as people move, they will make a sound, and the shadow escape is basically gone.
Asperger's speed in a small area is very fast, which is what Wren fears the most, but when he reaches an open place, after opening up the distance, it is not so terrifying.
"This is it. ”
Wren didn't hesitate any longer, chose a location, drew his dagger and began to dig a hole in the road.
The pit he dug was not very deep, only a dozen centimeters, and the diameter was less than twenty centimeters, and after digging, he used strong grass stalks to cross it, and then covered it with a thin layer of soil, which looked like a normal road surface. Seven or eight of these shallow pits were dug and spread over a stretch of road, and when the carriage passed by, it would be empty if one of them was stepped on, causing the horses to be frightened and even break their legs.
Ready, Wren walked a few meters in the direction of the manor, and lay down in the grass by the side of the road, covering himself with a bundle of weeds that had been prepared.
"I hope it doesn't rain at night, or it's going to be uncomfortable. ”
Wren thought.
The night grew darker and darker, time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was late at night, and the lights in the manor had gone out an hour earlier. Just when Wren thought that Ashperger was going to spend the night in the manor and would only come out tomorrow, there was a sudden movement.
The gates of the manor opened, and a carriage slowly drove out.
"It's coming!"
"I knew they wouldn't be able to help it. ”
Wren was in high spirits, and the sleepiness that had been lying on his stomach for several hours disappeared in an instant, and he took out a black face towel to cover his face, and his eyes locked on the carriage.
The carriage ran along the path, and because it was night, it was not very fast. There is a windproof lamp hanging on the roof of the car, which is particularly conspicuous at night.
As the distance gets closer, the windproof lights get brighter and brighter in the eyes.
Wren lay motionless in the grass, having turned up the brightness of the Soul Eye to the highest level, put his hand on the trigger, raised the muzzle of the gun slightly, and aimed it at the angle.
The carriage came near, and only one horse pulled it, and the sound of the horses' hooves was particularly loud in the night.
Click......
The ground shook slightly, and Wren who was lying on the ground felt it very clearly. At this moment, he was unusually calm in his heart, holding his breath, only the approaching carriage in his eyes, without a trace of turmoil in his heart, holding a gun in both hands, as stable as a doctor who operated on a patient.
After a few seconds, the carriage was already in sight, and the coachman sitting in front of him was holding the reins and driving intently, not noticing anyone on the side of the road at all.
Bang!
A popping roar suddenly rang out, far away in the wilderness.
The driver felt as if he had been punched so hard that he threw himself into the air and fell out of the car. The horse pulling the cart was frightened, and the reins were released again, and immediately lost control and galloped wildly on the road, but just a few meters away, suddenly stepped on the air, and the whole horse fell to the ground.
The body behind first hit the horse, then rolled over under the action of inertia, and with a bang, slammed into the ground, and rolled two or three times.
Wren watched this scene, but still hid in the grass and did not come out.
Taking advantage of the crash to the ground, he slid the pistol's handguard, reloaded, and then took a bullet from his belt and loaded it into the magazine.
The carriage overturned, the windproof lamp that had been mounted on the roof shattered and extinguished, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, except for the neighing of the badly wounded horse with a broken leg.
Suddenly, the door of the carriage was kicked out of it, and a dark shadow burst out.
"Asperger. ”
Wren saw the appearance of the black shadow at a glance, it was Esperger.
As an extraordinary being, Esperger's body is very strong, and the sudden overturning of the carriage only caused him a little bruise on his head, and his speed is still extremely fast.
He was wearing black leather armor, the sword in his hand had already been drawn, and his body was low, like a cheetah in a gallop, heading straight for Wren's hiding place.
"They found me so quickly. ”
Wren no longer did unnecessary hiding, quickly got up from the grass, and when Asperger's step into the grass was only seven or eight meters away from him, he didn't deliberately aim, and shot in the direction of Asperger.
Bang!
A burst of white smoke filled the air, and dozens of small steel balls whistled out from the muzzle of the gun at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye, covering an area.
Asperger's figure froze suddenly.
He moved half a step ahead of the gunshot, but he was still shot, and there was a sharp pain in his left arm, and when he looked down, the whole arm was bloody and almost useless.
"What kind of gun is this?" Esperger's reluctantly shouted.
He had seen the "Gunslinger", and had experience fighting the Gunslinger, and had killed one himself, so he was well aware of the Gunslinger's fighting style and weaknesses.
The gunslinger is not good at melee combat, and ordinary soul guns can only attack one point, as long as you see the timing of the shot, it is easy to dodge at close range with the speed of the shadow warrior.
Just now he clearly dodged the trajectory of the bullet, but he was still hit!
The only explanation is the strange gun in the other person's hand.
Of course, Wren would not be kind enough to explain, so he fired a shot, immediately pulled the handguard to reload, and without hesitation, another shot was fired out.
Bang!
Esperger's figure suddenly vanished, and the shot was half a step slower and hit the air.
Wren was not in a hurry, he had just waited until Asperger's got into the grass before shooting, guarding against the other party's shadow.
In the grass, don't try to get near you unless Asperger's standstill.
Sure enough, Asperger also realized this, and after hiding with the shadow, he stood there and didn't dare to move, enduring the injury on his arm, and his breathing slowed down to the slowest level, for fear of being discovered.
Wren didn't shoot indiscriminately.
He gripped the barrel of his spear and took a few steps back, a little more away to prevent Esperger's sword from being thrown at him as a hidden weapon.
At this moment, there was a sound in the carriage on the side of the road, and another figure crawled out of the carriage, taking advantage of the night, and ran desperately along the road to the front.
"Ramsay, sure enough, was in the car. ”
At the same time, gunshots were heard from the manor, and two men ran towards the manor with lanterns and weapons in hand.
From the eyes of the soul, it can be seen that there is an extraordinary person among these two people, who should be an iron guard, but the professional level is only one level, and the strength of the other person is not bad, and the soul strength is a cut higher than that of ordinary people.
"There's another transcendent, and we can't drag it out. ”
Wren didn't want Ramsay to escape, so he turned his gun and aimed his gun at Ramsay.
Bang, the gunshots rang out, and Ramsay let out a cry of pain, but did not fall there, staggering and continuing to run, but much slower.
Wren didn't bother Ramsay because the grass in the vicinity moved.
He had long expected that Asperger's would take advantage of this opportunity to make a surprise attack, and the shot of Ramsay was also deliberate to lure Asperger's position to reveal his position.
In the soul vision, the weeds ten meters on the left were shaking, as if an invisible python had squeezed through the grass and quickly pounced on itself.
Wren calmly pulled the handguard on his load, and it took a second.
Esperger's had rushed in front of him, and Shadow had failed in the high-speed movement.
The silhouette of a figure appeared in front of Wren's eyes, and he could even see the cold-blooded killing intent in Asperger's eyes, and the tip of the sword that flickered with cold light could barely slash the barrel of the gun.
Bang!
White smoke erupted, and in the nick of time, Wren fired.
The shot was almost shot at Esperger's chest, and the whole person flew upside down, falling into the grass but not dying immediately, struggling in pain.
Wren didn't stop there, and fired at Esperger's on the ground, running out of bullets.
After a few gunshots, Esperger's transformation into a pile of rotten flesh and the struggle stopped.
A spirit emerged from Asperger's corpse, and then, like a moth to a fire, disappeared into Wren's eyes.
In the Unreal interface, the battery level of the mobile phone has skyrocketed wildly, exceeding 50% in just a few seconds, and it continues to rise, I don't know how much it will rise in the end!
Wren felt that every cell of his body was cheering, and the spirit in his brain was incomparably refreshing, and there was a comfort that is difficult to describe in words.
But it's not over yet.
Wren quickly took the bullets from his waist and loaded them one by one, while meeting the enemies coming from the manor.
Because the night was so dark, the two men rushed over when they heard only the sound of gunshots, not knowing what was going on here, or even Wren's existence.
When they saw Wren who appeared in the range of the lantern, they were stunned for a moment, and then rushed up.
Bang!
Wren stopped and stood still, and with a single shot, knocked the guards who rushed to the front to the ground.
In front of trolls, all beings are equal.
Even though the Iron Guard's defense is very strong, and after activating the "Stone Skin" element, the skin is as hard as a rock, but after all, it is not a real rock, because he came out too quickly and did not wear armor, and fell to the ground with one shot under the muzzle of the shotgun.
Bang bang, three shots in a row, the first shot brought down the guard, the second shot directly knocked the man behind him into a sieve, and the third shot hit the head of the guard, shooting him in the head.
Two souls flew out of the corpse, allowing Wren's power to continue to rise.
Wren turned and walked away, chasing Ramsey in the direction of his escape.
Ramsey was injured and couldn't run far, so it was put to the end to be resolved. After absorbing three souls in a row, he seemed to have unlimited physical strength, and his running speed also increased significantly.
A few minutes later, a stumbling figure appeared on the road ahead, it was Ramsay.
Wren sped up in pursuit, and Ramsay looked back at him, frightened.
He had already run to the main road, and when he saw the enemy coming after him, he ran south in a panic, and then he got into the woods by the side of the roadside, and when he passed through it, he came to the edge of a shallow river wreck, and there was no way out.
With his bare hands, he was injured and his physical strength was almost exhausted.
Ramsey fell to his knees in despair, raised his hands, and shouted, "Don't kill me, I know a lot of Esperger's secrets." ”
