They can't escape. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Dong knew that they knew about this, and it was impossible for the two assassins without horses to escape from the palm of his hand, even if he was now in a weak state.

"I can let you go, because I know you're just hired assassins." Zhou Dong knew that he couldn't let them continue to despair, so he gave them a glimmer of hope.

Zhou Dong didn't mention Jane, this is one of the skills of hostage negotiation, you can't show that you attach too much importance to hostages, otherwise it is equivalent to going to the market to buy something, and then hanging a sign on your chest "I am a fat sheep".

If you can survive, of course you don't want to die, the two assassins looked at each other and asked separately.

"What do you want from us?"

"How can we believe you're really going to let us go?"

For their question, Zhou Dong thought about the words for a while, and asked with a calm face without being nervous: "I want you to answer a few questions from me, and then release this girl as well, in return, I can not only let you live, but also give you a large sum of money, so that even if you fail this mission, you still have a way out." ”

One of the assassins sneered, the same man who had been shot through the wrist, and said in disbelief: "No matter how nice you say, as long as we hand over the man, you will still turn around and kill us." ”

This seems to be an unsolvable problem, Zhou Dong just smiled slightly, and said: "This is very easy to solve, I will give a compromise plan first, which can be regarded as representing my sincerity, there are two of you, I don't know who is more sacrificial and willing to stay, if the other person is the other, I will allow him to leave here for ten minutes first, and I will give him one of our horses, and then we will immediately trade with the rest of the people, and after the transaction is completed, the remaining person will naturally be able to leave." ”

This is indeed very sincere, the assassins thought for a while, if they can still get a horse, riding it, it only takes ten minutes to enter Moss Stone City, where there are accomplices to answer, no longer need to worry about being hunted down, and can find someone to go back to help.

If you predict with the greatest malice, if you don't agree to the other party, both of you will die, even if you are holding the woman in your hand to accompany the burial, but if you die, you will die, and there will be nothing.

But if this condition is agreed to the other side, then at least one of them can survive.

It's just that even though they are two brothers, in the face of the choice given by this devilish ranger, they know that this is a poison made of poppies, but they still can't help but want to eat it.

The two assassins looked at each other and lowered their voices to talk.

Who stays and takes the plunge, and who leaves safely first?

This is a problem.

It is also the most critical problem that the two of them have to solve now.

Zhou Dong silently watched the two of them act, just to win the right to leave first.

"Big brother, do you think those people will keep their promises?"

"Maybe, probably not, the leader of this group should be this ranger, but this ranger doesn't seem to care much about this woman's appearance."

"Maybe we can try, the average adventurer should value the lives of his companions, why should we follow his thoughts?"

The two assassins muttered for a while, and the other of the assassins who had injured his wrist and did not kidnap Jane looked at Zhou Dong and said, "Don't be too arrogant, you must know that your companion is now in our hands, but as long as we exert a little force, she will die...... Throw your bows and arrows at once! Or I'll kill her!" ”

"Don't!" When Calder heard this, he recalled the time he had spent with Jane in his mind, and remembered the wonderful feelings that this strong and brave human woman had brought him, and an uncontrollable panic rose in his heart, which made him cry out immediately.

"Shut up! Calder, don't open your mouth! But Leah, who saw it clearly, directly shouted angrily at her stupid half-brother.

At this time, even Zhou Dong looked back and glanced indifferently at this half-elf with dissatisfaction, and he was easily affected by feelings, whether it was a human or an elf or a half-elf, he didn't like it very much, because these emotional people often made many irrational decisions and behaviors to break or disrupt his plans.

As he was now, he was playing with the two Assassins step by step, but Calder's shout would immediately give the two Assassins confidence, and they would be convinced that Jane was important to their side, which would make them greedily think that they had more chips on their side.

It was rare for Lia to be angry and angry at her brother, her gloomy face made Calder feel frightened for the first time, she never expected that Lia would show such an angry look.

Shortly after her previous adventures, Leah joined an adventure party consisting of an elven druid, captained by a warrior, a ranger, a priestess, and an archer.

However, when he was hired by a castle to clean up the bandits, due to an intelligence error, the female priest of the team was captured by the robbers, and this female human was the fiancée of the warrior captain.

The first time, the robbers, who were clearly unable to defeat them, used the captured priestess to coerce the captain of the warriors into making a foolish decision to put down his important weapon and exchange him for the priestess.

The result, of course, was that it was impossible for the robber to keep his promise, and after he lost his teeth and claws to protect himself, both rangers and archers were ranged attack classes, and after being attacked by the ambushed bandits, they did not last long at all.

And Leah was not spared, but luckily and unfortunately, her animal companion gave up her own life, allowing her to escape.

The animal companion was a bear who had grown up with her in the Wildas Forest, and after it died trying to protect herself, Leah borrowed a drink from the local town tavern for a while, and then about half a month after that incident, she heard the rumors.

The robbers did not kill the warrior, but in front of him, a group of people gave birth to his fiancée for several days and nights, completely tortured her into a madwoman, and subjected him to extreme destruction, and finally cut off his arms, but never killed him, but sent him back to the city after a nervous breakdown, and then sold his fiancée to slave traders.

After hearing the news, Leah went out on the street, and sure enough, she found the former captain of the warrior who smelled like a madman with his cape, and his youth and naivety caused irreparable tragedy for himself and his fiancée.

But not only is Liya not sympathetic and pitiful, as soon as she sees this person, she thinks of her animal companion who died to protect herself, and she has a faint pleasure in her heart.

In Leah's opinion, at that time, as a sane captain, he should have expected that the robber would not be trustworthy, but he put all his companions in danger to death for the sake of selfish feelings, and he and the people he wanted to save did not end well in the end.

This experience made Leah a ruthless and rational adventurer, always able to complete tasks safely, whether she failed or succeeded, she prioritized her own protection, and then considered the safety of her teammates.

He didn't die, and he could avenge his dead teammates, but believing in the enemy and handing over his teeth and claws would end up self-evident.

And now, from her employer a few days ago, and now her companion, Leah sees a template for her ideal captain.

After Calder disrupted the otherwise smooth progress, Zhou Dong did not let this falter, he just grinned at the two assassins and threw down the short bow.

Their faces were happy, while Leah frowned slightly, and Calder was mixed with joy.

Sonor!

Zhou Dong dismounted, took a step forward, and at the same time drew his twin knives from his waist, this gesture made the joy on the faces of the assassin brothers disappear instantly, and their expressions suddenly became tense.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll give you ten seconds to think about it, either kill her, and then the two of you will bury her together, or agree to my conditions, one of you can survive immediately, and as long as you answer my question, the other person you stay, I will also release him, ten, nine, eight......"

With each count, Zhou Dong took a step towards the two assassins.

However, in just a few tens of meters, after ten steps, Zhou Dong would reach a distance where he could kill them in an instant, and there was no need for a hunting bow at all.

Ten seconds!

Only ten seconds.

Both assassins were sweating profusely on their foreheads, they didn't want to die!

Killing an ordinary woman and then putting their own lives at the cost of it is completely unworthwhile in their eyes, their lives are much more important.

This time, the two did not argue and made a decision quickly.

"We promised you!"

"I'll leave first, and you drive the horses over."

"Good, it's a smart choice."

Zhou Dong stopped, turned around and sent the horse over.

The first to get on the horse and leave was the man whose wrist had been shot through, and he who could move freely with only one hand, I was afraid that he would not be able to restrain Jane, and even if she was unconscious, she might suddenly wake up.

The other's arm was bandaged with strips of cloth, and he had been grazed by an arrow as he fled, but that didn't stop him from putting the cutlass around Jane's neck.

"What do you want to know?" He desperately told himself to calm down, and then asked the other party in a calm and composed tone as much as possible.

Zhou Dong just looked at him for about ten seconds, and saw that the assassin was uneasy and impatient, and then he spoke: "Your identity, and who ordered you to kill us, why did you kill us, I want to know the answers to these three questions." ”

"We belong to a certain assassin organization in Am, this mission is a mission through the guild, gather a certain number of people, the assassination target is your group, and try not to alarm ordinary people, so we don't know about hiring people, if you want to know, you can only go and greet our guild, we formed a temporary team with other assassins and killers in the city, and began to track you, between the fact that we chose to ambush in the hotel after we first observed your strength, and then happened, I don't need to say anything more. The Assassin replied quickly.

"Which city is Am? What guild? Zhou Dong continued to ask.

"Mullan, besides, your second question is a bit stupid, with our identity, you still can't guess what guild it is? We can't reveal it, in that case, the deal is simply not going to happen. The Assassin mocked mercilessly.

"I see." Zhou Dong nodded, it was the Assassins' Union.

The organization of the Assassin Guild is much like the traditional Thieves' Guild, in that it generally has a leader who asserts power, and large guilds have sub-leaders in charge of various specialties, however, the Assassin Guild is much smaller than the traditional Thieves' Guild, and it is almost impossible for people outside the Guild to know who the leader is, or even who the members are.

Most of the members work in the shadows, carrying out their deadly missions without revealing their faces and names. However, in order to accept the task, the guild had to give the principal a means of contacting the guild, usually with an individual or group (such as a thief's guild or a particular merchant) acting as an intermediary between the Assassin guild and the client.

Although there will be no direct contact, the Assassins will try to protect any avenues through which they can accept new assignments.

The intermediary would put the interested principal in touch with the union's agent, who would negotiate the contract, decide the price, and pass the contract to the union (occasionally the agent would allow the principal to pay only a portion of the payment in advance, but the non-payment rarely occurred), and like the Assassins, the agent never showed his face or name to the principal.

The union leader would then assign the task to a team or team of assassins, depending on the difficulty of the target, and if all went well, the assassination would take place, the assassins would flee, and the agents would sign a new contract for the union.

Although the Assassin Guild was proficient in assassination, it was sometimes accepted for other tasks, such as acting as a spy or stealing high-level secrets. After all, the skills cultivated by assassins were very versatile.

Like traditional rogues, the Assassin Guild would take a percentage of each contract, and in return, the union would arrange new contracts, provide training and materials, and shelter for its members.

The only rule that all Assassin guilds adhere to is the rule of silence: anything that says anything about the guild is a sign of death, and will be carried out by the experts of the Assassins.

"It seems that you are not considered a good assassin in the union, whether it is strength or secrecy and dedication, I really despise it, let my people go, and then roll in front of me as far as possible!"

Zhou Dong raised his head slightly, and he deliberately pretended to be arrogant, which helped to improve the authenticity of the performance, and made the enemy think that the nature of the deal was more sincere.

The Assassin was lucky, and said, "Stand back and give me another horse, and then I'll let her go!" ”

"Humph! It's insatiable...... Forget it, Leah, give him your horse. Zhou Dong glared at him angrily, and then he stepped back step by step without his horse, while Liya whispered a few words to her horse and told it to obediently walk towards the assassin.

Communicating with animals is a skill that druids excel at.

The horse obediently walked to the side, and the assassin's face couldn't help but show joy, but he still cautiously watched the other party retreat about thirty meters or so, and then let go of Jane, and one turned over and got on the horse.

At this moment, Zhou Dong fiercely threw the recurved scimitar he was holding in his left hand!
