Interest is interest, John doesn't spend his time in this town studying this kind of thing in vain, he just has a little interest in the unknown.

In order to allow Shirley to complete his instructions faster, John can only borrow an umbrella from the waitress who has a crush on him.

Shirley, who had an umbrella, left in a good mood.

Miss Xiang casually coped with the reason for leaving temporarily, and John also left with the barrier on the surface, and the two of them were not in the same direction.

As he left the town, John met four novice adventurers he had met a few days earlier, who were walking in the rain, acting sneaky, as if they were afraid that someone would find them, and the direction seemed to be heading to the other side of the mountain, where John remembered was the small town of Lara.

After leaving Orange Town not far away, seeing that there was no one around, John was not limiting his strength, and galloped wildly, as fast as a horse moving at full speed, leaving his footprints on the muddy road.

According to the map marking, a group of thieves that John was going to was far away, at least ten mountains to climb, and at normal speed, it would take the average person a few days to get there.

However, a fast-paced, round-the-clock speed like John's can be reached in about a day.

Originally, he had a faster way, using the levitation technique on himself, just flying over, but he was afraid of being struck by the power of nature, so he decided to run honestly, if he was struck by lightning, he was afraid that he would not be wiped out.

The thunder of this world has an unusual power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blow from the gods, and he does not want to risk his life.

………

After crossing mountains, rivers, and dense woods, and hiding from the beasts, John finally arrived in another town the next day.

This is the area heading south, away from the borders of the Holy Empire, all the way to the location of the capital, which is still far away, but it only takes some time to get there.

The tiresome rainy weather is gone here, only the normal blue sky and white clouds and sun, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and pedestrians can encounter a few from time to time, and the atmosphere of human life here is more intense than that of the remote area.

The bandit that John needed to exterminate was on the other side of the town, which meant that he was passing through it.

Because the lich didn't need to rest, John didn't stop as a matter of course, and he chose to pass by.

Before leaving, in order not to be noticeable, he decided to buy a horse and said that if he used to run, it would definitely be eye-catching, like before......

At the same time, he also noticed that he was running too fast along the way, and after passing the place where there was no rain, the barrier also forgot to open, causing all the dust along the way to stick to his clothes, and the whole person looked like a wanderer scavenging waste.

Although reluctant, paying attention to image is a basic human quality.

I rented a hotel, took a bath by the way, washed the human skin, changed my clothes, and left.

Leaving this town that I don't know what its name is, riding a horse, the speed is naturally not as fast as what he can run, but in order to hide his identity, this is also something that cannot be done.

Finally, the hidden path that stretched at the fork of the avenue, ignoring the weather-beaten warning signs planted in the ground, John came to the foot of a mountain.

Perceptually, this should be the headquarters of the gang of thieves, a group of vigorous guys are constantly jumping, and John can see it clearly.

Tethering his horse to a tree with a meadow, John threw a stealth spell on his body and walked up the steep hillside.

Under the powerful perception, John noticed the people patrolling nearby, but because of the stealth, there was no need to deliberately hide, it was better to be generous, the assassination was a waste of time, it was better to cause a bigger movement and let them fall into the net.

With wishful thinking, John immediately lifted his invisibility, and stretched out his finger to them who were suddenly stunned by the appearance of a person, and a thick thunderbolt shot out, easily electrifying them all, and his strength was not at the same level at all.

………

………

At night, the interior of a tavern is bustling with activity.

Some of the adventurers drank wine and ate meat and had a long conversation.

The dwarf, whose face was flushed and did not know whether he was really drunk or fake, said, "By the way, by the way, have you heard?" Several bands of thieves in this vicinity have been wiped out by a mysterious guy! It is said that even the leader of the bandit who entered the gold realm was killed! And the most terrifying thing is that the scene was a mess, but no one was left behind, and the treasure was swept away! ”

A human dressed like a light-hearted thief said, "Tsk, it's a mystery, has anyone ever seen him in his true face?" ”

Another human with a sword drank wine: "Hmph, how can anyone see it, it has come and gone without a trace, and when we arrived, it was long gone." ”

The handsome young man with pointed ears said, "I guess another group of thieves will be attacked in the next few days. ”

"I think too!"

A bunch of seconded voices followed.

In the past few days, the crusade of thieves that appeared on the commission board has mysteriously disappeared, and after asking, I learned that it was taken away by a mysterious person, and the body also disappeared mysteriously, so this topic has become a topic of conversation for many people and is talked about.

John, dressed in a black robe, sat in a corner of the tavern, silently drinking water, and heard all their voices, of course, he was responsible for all these mysterious events.

He just didn't expect such a thing to attract such a big attention, nor did he expect that killing thieves would be able to obtain a lot of wealth in a short period of time, and the number of corpses was also considerable.

This kind of stable income made John want to be a part-time killer of the thieves, he never knew that there were so many benefits to solving the thieves group, he was really a fool, wasting so much time to collect the remaining corpses of others, it was better to come quickly in this way.

Spread out the map on the table, and several places marked with red circles were crossed out, and the last red circle remained.

Put away the map, tonight is John's last mission, and when it's done, you can go back and meet Shirley.

Now the story mission progress has reached 357/1000, and there are 643 people left.

Although it was a pity to have Shirley solve the thieves for him, and it couldn't all be counted on his head, in order to save time, it was worth the concession, otherwise it would be a waste of extra time in this place.

Placing a few copper coins on the table, calling the waiter, John left the tavern.
