Chapter 52: The Ideal of an Assassin
Shen Yan's hut can be described in one word, that is, "the four walls of the house".
Two wooden boxes stacked on top of each other are considered tables, and half-human wooden piers are barely chairs. A thick layer of soft grass in the corners and a layer of nitrate hides make a perfect bed β more than 99 percent of the Green Horn residents are of high quality.
And then, it's gone...... The above is all the furnishings in the room, there is no decoration, not even the most basic living utensils, but Shen Yan is as happy as if he already has a huge fortune. When Milton told him that the land would soon be owned by him, and that in the future, when everyone was free, he would build a house for Shen Yan - Shen Yan confirmed it three times in a row!
Not for the new house, but for the sake of hearing the phrase several times, "This land belongs to you". Comfortably, I have finally dared to live for more than 70 years. Otherwise, according to the life span of the elf, how many houses does he have to buy in his life? Compared to this, the temporary lack of materials is nothing.
"Ready? It's time to begin. Penny asked eagerly.
Penny and Shen Yan didn't take Curtis's departure seriously, and Shen Yan's words were clearly telling Curtis - I will vouch for you with my reputation. If you still live up to my trust, then remember to pray when you use that money in the future...... Pray I never find you!
"Wait a minute." Shen Yan first checked the closed doors and windows to make sure that none of the lizardmen were lurking under the windows. Then he blew out the candles, folded his clothes and lay down on the grass bed, and closed his eyes. "Come on...... You tap, I can be the first time. β
β¦β¦ This bastard even flirts with his mother!
Penny gritted her teeth and adjusted the prepared gift back "a little".
"No problem, I'll be very gentle, Xiao Yanyan."
Penny's voice grew softer and more erratic. Just when Shen Yan wanted to listen carefully, suddenly the support on his back emptied, and he involuntarily fell towards the void while lying down......
*****
"Huh?" When Shen Yan reached out to grab something, he found that he couldn't do anything. Only then did he remember that at this moment he had become a "bystander", entered into someone's memory. This is Penny's gift - in order to allow Shen Yan to better integrate the blood of the moon elf, this is a carefully selected "memory fragment of a certain moon elf".
He looked around, and the host was in a room full of fantasy and flamboyance.
It is filled with a large number of luminous objects, flying objects, and extremely tedious cut-out decorations, as if to tell every "visitor" who enters the room that the owner of the room has money! Very rich! Luxurious but not understated!
"Laurel, your arrows are ready." Someone said to "him".
"So this body is called Laurel?" Shen Yan raised his head and saw an "old" elf walking in front of him.
At this moment, Shen Yan and the owner of this memory became oneβhe looked at everything "he" saw through "his" eyes, and the information that those eyes saw was also received by two souls at the same time; Shen Yan can also feel the heartbeat and muscle movement of this body at the same time, without deliberateness, it is completely like his own body.
Of course, even if he deliberately did not command.
The elf in front of him didn't seem to be much different from an ordinary elf on the outside, handsome, elegant, and had a slow demeanor but a strange sense of rhythm. He was wearing a super gorgeous robe that matched this room, and his hair with a golden crown gradually turned into a white translucent color - as soon as this thought came to Shen Yan's mind, another "thought" gave an explanation, and the fading of hair was a characteristic of elven aging.
This thought is clearly the mind of the person who provides the memory. Countless thoughts occur and annihilate in the minds of intelligent beings every moment, and most of them are not even aware of the owners of their bodies. This is the difference between humans and computers, all operations in a computer serve a certain purpose, but the brains of intelligent beings do not work that way.
The "old" elf handed over an elf-style quiver as he spoke, and it seemed that the two of them knew each other quite well. There were only three arrows stuck in the quiverβone frozen, one frozen, and the last one as black as ink. Each arrow is oddly shaped (meaning it doesn't look like an arrow at all).
The most peculiar thing is that each of the three arrows is wrapped with terrifying magical energy like a volcanic eruption, which can kill yesterday's swamp lion in seconds without much effort! But the three arrows can be independent of each other and exist in the same quiver without interfering with each other.
"Thank you, Master Angelo." Laurel bowed and solemnly took the quiver.
At this moment, Shen Yan felt his struggling emotions, about a few isms or something...... Shen Yan hurriedly shielded those emotions out - he didn't want to be brainwashed by the host.
After a moment, Laurel really began. "Master, since you have gone out of your way to help us every time, why don't you join us? I know you have always been a person of integrity and helpfulness. Your reputation for generosity is enough to brighten up the multiverse......"
"No," the old elf shook his head in refusal without waiting for Laurel to finish, "I personally don't really agree with the creed of the Light of Order organization, and the Lord of Order is not much better than the lady in my opinion. Assassination in the name of order is in itself a ridiculous logical contradiction. β
"But our cause is just! You'll see. After saying more than half a sentence, Yue Gui dropped this sentence and left the magic tower with Shen Yan's perspective.
*****
"Wow-ahhhh
After opening the door, the scenery outside the door suddenly broke into Shen Yan's field of vision, so that he didn't even have the slightest mental preparation, so he was caught off guard and witnessed the entire city!
That mysterious scene shocked Shen Yan speechlessly!
Not to mention the various strange pedestrians coming and going on the road, not to mention the various carriages pulled by Pegasus, Pegasus, skeleton horses, and ghosts, just talking about those strange and weird heavy metal style buildings opened Shen Yan's eyes!
And the most shocking thing is not these, but the road under your feet. The blue-gray streets seem to be uphill both forward and backward. The path of blue-gray boulders stretched infinitely backward and backward, and curled upwards into a circle at the end of the view, reaching into the invisible fog.
This scene is like the folded Paris in "Inception"; It's like the space city of the "Stanford Ring" in Elysium - it can be said that it doesn't look like a fantasy city, but more like a sci-fi city filled with medieval buildings!
Shen Yan couldn't command the host to look up, but he was sure that if he looked up, he should be able to see the large roof of the "ring side", and maybe he could also see the carriage running "upside down" on the blue and gray road...... But in the eyes of others, why isn't he hanging upside down?
This is the Ring City?
(That's it...... My Ring City. οΌ
It's a pity that the host of this body didn't leave much time for Shen Yan to appreciate. In terms of action, the moon elf just glanced left and right after going out, and then started to act.
Maybe it was because the host was too familiar with the ring city, and after that, his eyes didn't look at any distant scenes, but focused on the pedestrians around the city, which made Shen Yan feel very depressed. He had just become more interested in the city, but someone was hiding it from him!
Next, Shen Yan had thoroughly seen what a real moon elf was like - Yuegui's agility value should not be out of the charts, even if it was higher than Shen Yan, it was limited. But he really showed what it means to be "fluttering like the wind" and what it means to be "walking on the ground". His body seemed to be gravityless, and he could turn and move in six directions at any time. Tiles, branches, and narrow wooden frames became his foothold, elbows, toes, and thighs...... Even any part of the body can become a force point.
This makes the host obviously walk on the lively street, but always walk in the blind corner of everyone's sight, until he enters an abandoned house and hides, no one succeeds in catching his figure. This is a more alternative stealth method than Omar's mimicry and Curtis's invisibility.
It's similar to some people's "kill everyone you see even if you succeed in stealth". You must know that this is a ring city, and those who walk on the street are shocked when they look at every strength. It is estimated that if you open the Penny assessment, there will be no one below level 10 here!
The actions of the moon elves finally made Shen Yan feel a little "teaching".
He tried his best to memorize every movement of the moon elf's movements, the judgment of his eyes, the coordination of his body, etc., and prepared to focus on training himself when he went back. If Omar and Curtis are showing tech stream stealth, and some are berserker stream stealth, then Laurel shows how to stealth with extreme agility along the way.
His dexterous movements to the extreme, not to mention parkour, Shen Yan feels that the light skills written in our martial arts novels are just like that! He had never seen a humanoid creature with such a flexible body, could it be that Laurel's agility had broken 25?
[System prompt: Laurel's agility is only 17]
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's only 2 points higher than me? I see, it seems that the step of agility 15 to 17 is the legendary pass! If you go through, you will open the sea and the sky, but if you can't break through, you will be busy for life...... One step to heaven, one step to hell! β
Edit, continue edit! This time, even Penny didn't bother to talk to him, daydreaming.
Shen Yan didn't care, although this moon elf named Yue Gui was agile, his face must have been extremely ugly! You must know that this is an era of looking at faces, and Shen Yan is engaged in another profession of looking at faces...... This moon elf actually walked away from everyone's eyes, what do you think he has to be ugly?
What followed was a long and boring wait, there was nothing in this abandoned and dilapidated house, and Shen Yan even began to count the dust in boredom.
The bow and arrows were placed casually on the table, and the moon elf sat on a chair next to the wooden table, as if it were growing on it. He didn't move, and even the breath on his body disappeared. He didn't lie on the edge of the window and look out, the whole person was even calmer than a sniper waiting for his prey!
This made Shen Yan curious, who was he trying to assassinate?

PS: Last week, there was no update for one day, and the ranking of the new book dropped a lot. In order to get good results on the shelves, please support the new book issue!
PS2: The first few chapters were said to be complained about too much by book friends, look, Lao Lei has changed. This is the third time I've promised that we're going to move forward with the plot.
PS3: Generally, 300,000 words are on the shelves, and there are still half of Lao Lei's public chapters, so I am not in a hurry to put them on the shelves.
PS4: For the record, this book is an online text. The author opens his eyes and writes 6000 words every day! 6000 words, it is irresponsible to discuss this book in the way of discussing literature. On behalf of Mr. Lu, who only wrote six words one day, I despise you.
