Chapter 12: The Shadow Warrior

Wren sat in the café for half an afternoon, and in the evening, the students of the sword hall came out in groups, and it didn't take long for the employees of the sword hall to get off work.

Several carriages gathered from all over the place and stopped at the entrance of the sword hall.

As one of the best sword gyms in the city of Lonshand, Maloney's Sword teachers are each transcendent and highly paid, so they can afford to hire horse-drawn carriages to transport them to and from work on time every day.

Wren's eyes fell on a few coachmen, and he soon found the carriage in which Ashberg was riding, which he had seen several times before.

But this coachman is not the same driver he drove the last time he committed the crime, he comes from a carriage rental company, and he is only employed by Asperger.

The carriages left after picking up people, and soon, a familiar figure appeared in the field of vision.

This is a tall and thin man, about thirty-five years old, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are extremely attentive, and he has a warm smile on his face, which makes people feel very kind. He walked and talked with a female teacher from the swordsmanship hall next to him, talking and laughing, and behaving appropriately.

"Asperger. ”

Wren looked at the man from a distance of hundreds of meters and snorted coldly in his heart.

If it weren't for his personal experience, who would have thought that Asperger, who has always been famous for his good popularity in the swordsmanship hall, is a bloody executioner in private.

Esperger's was followed by two young men, both in their mid-twenties.

One of them was Ramsey, Wren's classmate, and the other was unknown, and it should be the newly recruited assistant from the Sword Gym for Asperger.

After sending the female teacher into the car, Esperger's gentlemanly escorted her, then he turned around and told the two assistants to get them off work, and he got into the carriage.

The carriage was heading right towards the café.

Wren wanted to get up and avoid it in advance, but saw that in the other direction, Ramsay had already left the sword hall, and it was more difficult to track it down now, so he decided to sit still and wait for the carriage to approach.

Among these two people, it must be Esperger, and the biggest threat is also Esperger, if you want to find their secret stronghold outside the city, you naturally have to start exploring from Esperger.

As for Ramsay, he's just an ordinary person, and it's too easy to figure him out.

A few hundred meters away, Wren had already adjusted the direction of his seat, with his back to the direction of the carriage, and the newspaper in his hand was raised a little higher, blocking most of his face.

Clicka Tower......

As the carriage sped past the street in front of the café, Wren's gaze crossed over the newspaper and looked directly into the glass window of the carriage, just in time to see half of Ashperger's body and side face.

Just one glance, the soul is seen through.

The whole process lasted less than two seconds, and Asperger sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, not even noticing that someone on the side of the road was observing him.

Wren slowly put down the newspaper and looked into the carriage as he walked away.

"It turned out to be a second-level shadow warrior. ”

Until then, Wren had been unable to determine Asperger's transcendent career.

Although he saw Asperger's murder with his own eyes, the only thing he felt at that time was fast!

Esperger's feet are not only fast, but the sword in his hand is faster, this is pure speed suppression, and ordinary people are killed before they have time to react.

There are several transcendent classes that can have this kind of speed, the most common being "Ranger" and "Shadow Warrior", both of which are known for their speed.

However, the fighting styles of the Ranger and the Shadow Warrior are very different, and if you get it wrong, you will pay a heavy price.

The first core element of the Ranger is the "Dexterous Hand", the hands have a super strong touch, and are extremely flexible, the control of their own power is meticulous, fast movement in a small area, dexterous jumping, and all kinds of weapons can be quickly mastered as long as you get started.

Each Ranger is an accomplished weapon master, proficient in swordsmanship, shooting, dual-wielding weapons, climbing, throwing hidden weapons, rope art, and more, often with unexpected attacks.

In contrast, the Shadow Warrior is more monotonous.

However, monotony does not mean weakness, the core element of the shadow warrior is "shadow escape", good at lurking in the shadows, hiding the body, light and fast steps, often giving a fatal blow when the enemy least expects it.

Wren discovers the Shadow Element in Esperger's soul and determines that he is a Shadow Warrior.

In addition, Asperger's soul structure has two layers.

After observing those transcendents in the hotel in the past few days, Wren knew that every time a demon soul was fused, the internal structure of the soul would increase by one level, and at the same time, the professional level would be increased by one level.

The two-layer soul structure shows that Asperger is a second-level shadow warrior who fuses a main soul and a secondary soul.

The main soul of the Shadow Warrior is the same, the demon soul from the "Latent Shadow Demon Spider", and the Shadow Escape element is obtained.

Asperger's lack of a second elemental ability may be that when he reached level 2, he still chose to use the shulker spider as a secondary soul to continue to enhance the shadow escape element, or it is possible that he fused other demon souls but clashed with the main soul, resulting in the loss of the element.

This is not uncommon, even normal.

Demon soul conflict is the most troublesome problem for transcendentals, and there is no one.

Most of the demon souls are incompatible with each other, and there will be conflicts, which makes it much more difficult to fuse, and at least the elements are lost, and they fail to get new abilities, but they simply improve the strength of their souls.

What's even worse is that not only the soul has not been improved, but even the original elements have been affected, and the strength has not advanced but retreated.

Therefore, in order to avoid or reduce conflicts, many transcendents make the most conservative choice and fuse the same demon soul to enhance the existing elements.

Because the exploration time is too short, Wren doesn't know if Asperger's shadow escape element has been enhanced, but it is enough to know that he is a shadow warrior.

When the carriage was far away, Wren stood up and quickened his pace to follow.

It was now off-duty hours, and there were a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets, and the speed of the carriage, which was not very fast, was repeatedly reduced, which made it easy for Wren to follow.

Tracking the carriage a few hundred meters away, Wren was not afraid of being detected by Esperger.

The carriage headed west, stopping and stopping for more than half an hour.

As it got dark and the gaslights on the side of the road came on, the carriage finally reached its destination, entered a large house on the west side of Honeyton, and quickly came out and left.

Apparently, Asperger's was no longer in the car, and this was where he lived.

Wren didn't rush closer, but took in the surroundings.

Next to Esperger's house is the River Fregren, which divides the whole city of Lunsander into two parts from south to north.

On the east bank of the river is the main urban area, including the three boroughs of Honiton, Los and Ryan Vlar, which occupies two-thirds of the city and is home to more than ninety percent of the population.

The remaining 10 percent of the population lives on the west bank of the Felegren River, in the Silver Star District.

The Transcendent Academy and the Duke's Wizard Tower are both in the Silver Star District, which naturally became the place where the upper class of Longshande City lived, that is, the aristocratic district in people's mouths.

Ashperger's house is well located, just across the river from the aristocratic district, which is the most expensive in the Horniton district.

From here, you can see a towering building on the western horizon, with a strong light from the top, as if the eyes were scanning around.

This is the Wizard's Tower of the Duke of Silver Star.

Within the range of that ray's ray, the slightest movement would be detected by the Wizard Tower as soon as possible.

In other words, Asperger's house is also under the protection of the Wizard's Tower, and it is the worst choice to do anything in his house.

Wren glanced at the Wizard Tower from afar, shook his head, and had no choice but to leave.

The next afternoon, Wren followed Ramsey after work at the Sword Gym and found the other party's address.

Ramsey lives in an upscale apartment not far from the sword hall, and there are so many people that he can't find a chance to do it. And it's useless to kill Ramsay, it will only alarm Asperger.

Wren was not impatient, and stayed in the sword gym for several days in a row, patiently waiting for the opportunity.

Because he knew that these two people would definitely not be able to bear it and go out to commit murder again.

This wait is eight days, almost half a month before Wren travels to Ehrenus, and when the landlord is about to find out that the tenant is missing, finally, Wren waits for the opportunity.

Esperger's work was as usual, but it wasn't the usual carriage that came to pick him up today.

Wren recognized at a glance that this carriage was the one that picked him up at the back door of the Perfume Street bar that night, and he immediately perked up and thought, is it time to do it at night?

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Ramsey also got into the car.

The carriage headed south, as if it were going out of the city.

Wren followed, and sure enough, the carriage soon left Lonshand, and sped up on the avenue.

"This should be going to their secret stronghold. Wren was surprised and delighted, and this was the opportunity he was waiting for.

But the speed of the carriage was too fast for him to keep up.

Fortunately, the last time he absorbed the soul of that degenerate, the power skyrocketed by eight bars, plus the physical injury completely healed and increased by two bars, making the power reach 18%, both physical strength and strength, higher than ordinary people, barely able to follow the carriage far away, not completely lost.

With night vision turned on, Wren ran in the darkness of the night, and the power consumption was also accelerating.

Soon after, the carriage turned from the main road into a side road, drove for a few more minutes, and finally stopped in a secluded manor.

Wren hid behind a tree and gasped for breath before he began to spy on the manor.

The manor is built next to a large pasture, the area is not large, it is surrounded by brick walls, surrounded by woods, and the nearest manor is also a kilometer away, which is very quiet.

Moreover, the place is not far from the river.

Follow the path to the avenue and you'll see the River Felegren.

Wren had found out when he had just run over that he had passed by this place on his way back to Lonshand, and if he had walked a little further south, he would have climbed up from the river.

He was sure that the manor was the secret stronghold of Asperger and Ramsay.

But what are these two people hiding inside?
