Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 94 Nervous Sally
The Assassin's head fell to the ground with an arrow in his head, his expression of horror frozen on his face, twisted and terrifying—and the bright red liquid that flowed from beneath the corpse gradually spread to Sally's feet...
"Sally?"
The bishop's apology did not make Sally recover from the shock just now, after hearing Benjamin's voice, she only instinctively raised her head, although the big eyes looked at the old man in front of her, but her face was completely out of the world...
Her heart was filled with boundless doubts at this time—why did Roddy do this? The assassin has already been subdued, what good can it do to kill him at this time other than to make Bishop Benjamin angry?
If this high-ranking bishop in Hollier is completely angered, the strength of the "Rosicrucius" will definitely make Roddy even lose his skin if he does not die... As a "candidate priest" for the monastery, Sally naturally understood the power of the sect that lay beneath the surface.
Bishop Benjamin's face is not something that can be hit at will, no matter how strong Roddy's ability is, he can't be stronger than this bishop, Sally is extremely conflicted in her heart at this time, she can't help but think... If Roddy is hunted down by the "Rosicrucian" sect day and night in the future, will he live in regret all day long?
"Don't be afraid, it's safe."
Bishop Benjamin raised his hand and cast a calming "soul pacification" spell, believing that Sally had been frightened by the murderous assassin, so he did not see what she was worried about. Taking a sideways step, Benjamin asked the guards and priests to remove the body, then looked at Booker and Ryan and the others who were in shock in the distance, thought for a moment, and whispered to Sally: "I don't ask anything now, go back and have a good rest first, and I'll come back tomorrow to ask carefully about what happened, okay?" ”
With such age and experience, Bishop Benjamin's way of doing things will naturally be more sophisticated - the first time a young child faces such a bloody and cruel scene, the impact in his heart is needless to say, if he immediately asks them to retell what has just happened, although they can get the answer they want, it is definitely not a good thing for these children, and it will even leave a lifelong shadow in their hearts, which will lead to a more bumpy road in the future.
Being in a high position, it is natural to take a long-term view, and Benjamin naturally has his own considerations in doing so. And when she heard him say this, Sally seemed to reflect her current situation, she involuntarily glanced at the balcony where Roddy was just now, her lips twitched a few times, and said, "I... I-that..."
"Don't say anything." Benjamin waved his hand, "Tell me tomorrow... It's not over yet. ”
With that, he unleashed an "advanced recovery technique" again, making the bruises on Sally's back disappear after being hit by the long sword, and turned his head to the four priests who had already rushed over not far away, "Go back with them, now." ”
The priest who was evacuating the faithful at the scene immediately responded, and the priest named Ethan also took the wet cloth handed by the nun, walked over to wipe the blood on Ryan's face, and pulled them towards the church.
All three Assassins were killed: one outside the monastery door, one inside the gate and one on the side of the church's vestibule. The wounded mercenaries and guards had been carried away, and they had all been spared because of the timely treatment, but the result of the battle was very bloody - blood was almost all over the ground at this time, and in five or six minutes it stained the large ground in front of the monastery, giving this otherwise solemn and sacred place an unprecedented cruelty...
Sally hesitated to follow the priest towards the church with a confused face, she kept looking back at the outside of the abbey, but she also knew that Roddy could not be here again at this time - but when she remembered Benjamin's words "this is not over", she was a little panicked and worried... If the bishop had issued a "religious arrest warrant", would he never see him again?
As she left the place nervously, Sally's mind was full of countermeasures.
Benjamin, who had been standing in the antechamber, did not leave immediately.
His gaze swept over the shafts of the arrows that had not been cleaned all around, and he took a few steps to pick up a severed shaft, rubbing his fingertips lightly, and narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Scout's Arrows..."
After confirming the characteristics of the shaft, he swept his gaze over the two corpses that were being carried away, approached the front and looked at the fat man who had been shot in the eyeball, and then reached out to look at the other assassin who had been hit by an arrow in the leg and had half of his neck cut off, his brow furrowing more and more.
Looking up at the broken flower pot on the ground in the distance, he confirmed the balcony where Roddy was before, and walked to find it himself.
The house was a merchant's mansion, and was hardly inhabited on weekdays, except for two servants to clean it from time to time, so when they saw the arrival of the abbot and bishop of the monastery himself, they immediately received it with great trepidation.
After a few inquiries, Benjamin learned that the two servants had no idea that the two servants had just been there, and it was obvious that the archery was hidden and difficult to trace—and when he reached the third floor with this in mind, and stood in front of the convent from where Roddy had been, his mood became more and more subtle...
"Such a distance... It's a little too accurate. ”
It's not that he hasn't heard rumors such as "a hundred steps through Yang", Benjamin has seen many things that ordinary people can't imagine, but when he really met such a sharp "archer", the amazement in his heart was real - because from here to where Sally was just now, the distance was more than seventy meters, and standing here and looking at the past, the face was not as big as his own fingernails!
Although he didn't carefully ask Sally and the others about all the battle processes, after looking at it like this, Benjamin already roughly understood the comparison of strength between the two sides.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the existence of the guy who shot arrows here before, Sally and Ryan and the others would have died, and in addition to the casualties, the abbey would have suffered unbearable losses and humiliation, the face of the "Rosicrucess" would have been lost, and his bishopric position would have ......
Although he was angry that the other party had shot the worst assassin in front of him, he remembered the upcoming Overseer Rubens, but he had to admit that if the other party was not here, the "bishop" position would probably be the end of his life within the sect.
Taking a breath, Benjamin sighed helplessly, "This guy... What the hell are you thinking? ”
******
September 3rd, Pig's Head Bar, evening.
"Hey! Have you heard? Yesterday there was an assassination at the monastery! My God, who would eat too much and run to attack the 'Rosicruce'? ”
The day after the "Abbey Assassination", the barkeeper Hook was loudly telling Roddy what he had heard today, looking at his oily face as if he had witnessed the whole incident, "Three Assassins! They all rushed to the monastery! It can only be said that the two guards at the door are too useless, and they have no power to fight back when they are beaten by others, and if it weren't for the mysterious archer who appeared, I'm afraid they would have really succeeded! ”
"Oh? Archer? ”
Luo Di raised his eyebrows, took a sip of the ale mixed with water, and showed an interested look on his face: "Tell me specifically?" ”
"Let me tell you, that archer is really good, and if you want to talk about it, it's no worse than the guy in the story you told! I heard them say..."
Boss Hook began to gush on the story, while Roddy nodded his head and glared at the invisible "character attribute bar" in front of him, carefully pondering what he had gained from yesterday's battle.
Speaking of which, this is the first time since the defeat of "Witch Doctor" Sarota that he has fought head-on with an opponent with an "advanced class", and the result of this confrontation is also obvious: the arrows he shoots are completely ineffective if the opponent is prepared.
If you want to talk about the reason, one is that your own weapon level is not good - there is a clear gap between level 10 weapons and level 8 weapons, and Roddy can only make level 8 bows at this time, if you say to buy, the temple arsenal is provided, but the "respect" level prestige you need is simply not enough...
The second reason is that the attribute growth value of the "advanced profession" is extremely high, similar to the advanced profession of the opponent's "wandering swordsman", the "agility" attribute is much higher than that of other melee professions, and this is also the fundamental reason why the opponent can directly block Roddy's arrows - his arrows are not fast enough, and the power is not strong enough, although when killing an orc, as long as he hits the vital point, he can directly kill the opponent in seconds, but that is because the orc is basically "no armor" and the general level attribute is crushed by Roddy.
Now that he has met a high-level guy, coupled with the other party's job change, Roddy has obviously taken the other party.
However, after being lucky enough to kill all the Assassins, Roddy actually did a task with a high degree of "completion" - "Solve the Monastery Crisis"!
And this mission gave him a full 75,000 experience!
Apparently this is due to the high level of the enemy and the reason for the greater impact, so Roddy successfully upgraded to level 9 and left the experience of reaching level 10 - although he could immediately upgrade to level 10 and choose the "advanced class", but to be on the safe side, Roddy still did not choose to level up immediately.
Because the "advanced career" is not an automatic job transfer when you reach level 10, the steps are very troublesome, not only to complete a series of "advanced tasks", but also to gather a bunch of "task items" to honor the mentor, and finally pass to obtain it, Luo Di thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to wait for enough level 11 experience.
Thinking of the detour that the advanced "Ranger" had taken at the beginning, he had already considered the next advanced career more than once in his heart... But then again, the "Ranger" mentor does not have it in the human city at all, and his original mentor was the ranger named "Nata" in the Wood Elf Village, but seeing the other party's virtue of being chased by a level 7 leopard at this time, "finding a mentor" is probably also a difficult problem to face.
So who should I go to?
His fingers tapped the wine glass regularly, and the boss still talked about the deeds of the "archer" - "You don't know what to do!" The guy was standing on the window on the third floor, and with three arrows, the assassin's head was shot like a hedgehog! ”
Luo Di took a sip of ale wine, and felt that this product was a bit similar to Shan Tianfang, who said storytelling in memory, and even his voice was the same hoarse, it was a pity that the other party was not a storyteller...
Shaking his head helplessly, he was about to find an excuse to go back to his room, but noticed that the door of the bar was blocked by a black figure.
