Chapter 119: The Depressed Silver Assassin
After taking care of the official affairs in the territory, and Dalaran had three more silver mages in charge, Donald did not have much to worry about, and could prepare to go on the road with the teacher with confidence, and first rush to the Northwest Province to meet the men of the Ansel family.
The character of the thousand-year-old nobles of the Ansel family is still trustworthy, otherwise Donald would not have traded a lot of his own unique Book of Truth products to the other party, if it was a nobleman with a selfish and inferior personality like Viscount Macbeth, Donald probably wouldn't even want to talk about it!
There was plenty of time, so Donald's master and apprentice plus Kael'thas didn't rush to the road, but prepared to stay in the town on the road for a few days, travel all the way, and by the way, let Donald practice the flying skills he had just mastered.
Originally, he was going to bring Uther, but he needed to take care of the Ogre Valley mine, and the territory could not be supported by only the three silver mages of Chris, so Uther, the only silver powerhouse under Donald, had to stay and protect the territory.
As soon as Donald and his apprentice left Dalaran on their front feet, a dusty traveler came to Boulder City.
"Sure enough, it is the most remote human city in the Northland, and it can't be compared to the mainland countries at all!"
After observing the city, they quickly found the joint place indicated in the mission, and soon a servant was responsible for bringing the person to a remote mansion, where the eldest son of the former Viscount Macbeth and the heir of the Macbeth family, Master Bolton, had been waiting here after receiving the news.
"Mr. Scorpion, welcome to the Macbeth family!"
The man dressed in gray and with an extremely ordinary appearance said in a hoarse voice without hesitation:
"It's a pity, on the way here, I heard that Lord Viscount has passed away, I wonder if your family's contract with our black dagger is still valid?"
Bolton's face was anxious when he heard this, and he hurriedly said:
"Of course it's valid, I've already paid the deposit, with your association's reputation for many years, it shouldn't break the contract, right?"
"Hehe! As long as you don't break the contract, as for the assassination mission, that's our business! The black dagger does the task, and there is never a situation where he gives up halfway, as long as he collects the money, even if the other party is a golden powerhouse, no matter how much he pays, he will solve it for the employer!"
"Then I'll rest assured, this is the latest news from the target, and there are portraits of several main characters, Mr. Stinger, please take a look. ”
The assassin, codenamed Scorpion, took the information, opened it, and said unceremoniously:
"You didn't say beforehand that there are four more silver mages under the target, and I can solve it with one silver-level mage, but if more than two people gather together, I will die. ”
Burton also said helplessly:
"The incident just happened, and the distance between here and your club is too far to be contacted, so there is no time to send this message. ”
Now that he had taken over the task, the scorpion could not give up, so he threw the information back into Bolton's hands, and said:
"I'll go find out the situation first, and if I can't do anything, I'll come back to you to discuss!"
Bolton naturally had no intention of objecting, and for him, the other party was already very lucky not to give up the task. Regarding his father's death, Burton was not without suspicion of the Donald's family's goal of eradiation.
After all, Viscount Macbeth died a very strange death, not only was the body completely destroyed, only some ashes remained, and even their family's secret collection was lost with the fire.
But the City Lord's Mansion was so heavily guarded, even if someone sneaked in to do these things, it would be almost impossible to leave quietly. Because when the fire was together, the entire City Lord's Mansion was completely closed, and various organs and guards guarded the City Lord's Mansion like an iron bucket, and the City Lord's Mansion was also adjacent to the Agricultural Temple of Boulder City and Sir Brewster's Mansion, if something happened, the masters of these two sides would definitely come to the aid as soon as possible, after all, they were all forces that belonged to the same Boulder City, and there was not much conflict with each other.
Even if he is a silver powerhouse, it is difficult to fly when faced with this situation.
Unless the other party can get their hands on the pitiful teleportation scrolls that have been lost for a long time and are scarce, they will have a chance to escape under such a heavy surrounding.
Therefore, although Bolton suspected Donald, he suffered from no evidence, so he could only claim that his father died in a fire and died accidentally.
Besides, the Silver Assassin Scorpion acted neatly, and soon secretly caught a carriage that was about to leave Boulder City, and rushed to Dara in the north.
On the way, with the keen perception of the silver assassin, the poisonous scorpion suddenly noticed something, stretched out his hand and opened the corner of the door of the carriage where he was hiding to look up, but saw that it was three mages flying over him together, two of them were probably bronze mages, and the other old mage who could only see the back made him feel very dangerous.
"At least a mage of the Silver High Rank, this is just the most remote territory in the Northlands, how can there be so many Silver powerhouses? Could it be a warning from my lord that this mission will not be completed soon?"
Stinger prayed for a moment before suppressing his uneasiness and following the carriage to the town of Twilight, where Dalaran's capital was located.
Quietly disembarking from the carriage, the agile Silver Assassin immediately blended into the crowd like an inconspicuous civilian.
First of all, he explored the town and found that there were three strong people's breaths on the side of the lord's mansion, presumably three of the four silver mages, and in addition, there were also many bronze powerhouses, and the adventurer's guild was even more interesting to him.
However, there was no sign of the target, which made the stinger feel a little bad.
Because Donald had no intention of concealing his travels, Stinger casually asked a passer-by to inquire a little, and got the news that the lord had left the territory.
couldn't help frowning and said secretly:
"Has the target already left the territory? So one of the three mages just now is the target, how did the damn Macbeth family collect intelligence? Why can't you even figure out the target's movements!"
One way rushed to Layton Harbor and came to Boulder City, and before he could catch his breath, he heard the news that the target had left the territory, which made this silver assassin feel unfazed.
Holding his breath, the stinger returned to Boulder City again, sneaked directly into the City Lord's Mansion, and found Bolton in front of him.
"Who?"
In the heavily protected City Lord's Mansion, an outsider suddenly appeared in front of him, and Bolton was naturally taken aback.
When he saw that it was the assassin named Scorpion that he had hired, he relaxed a little.
The guards outside heard the shouts and hurried to protect them, and when they saw a stranger breaking in, they were about to make a move, and the startled Bolton hurriedly sent the guards away, these few guards who were only black iron strength were not the opponents of the silver assassin in front of them.
"What? Donald left the territory, do you know where he's going?"
Bolton was also surprised by the news that the stinger brought back, but more disappointed, if Donald didn't show up, this task would not be completed at all, and the other party would become stronger and stronger in the future, I am afraid it would be difficult to have such an opportunity.
In the face of Burton's questioning, Stinger said angrily: "If I knew, would I still come to you?" It is said that he will travel a long way, and he may not return until about ten days and half a month. ”
Bolton asked with some embarrassment: "Since the target left unexpectedly, this is not a mistake on the part of you and me, then can I change the target, such as assassinating important people in the target territory, so that it can also cause a certain blow to the target!"
However, Stinger immediately rejected the proposal.
"Impossible, there are three silver mages in the target territory, if it is a knight or a swordsman, I am not afraid of them, I am sure of getting out. But there are three silver mages on the other side, as long as I make a move, I will alarm them, and when the time comes, there will be nothing to hide under the detection spell, and in the face of the encirclement of the three ** divisions, even if I am a silver powerhouse, I am not an opponent at all. ”
When I went to investigate, I should have just met the target, but the other party was flying in the sky and couldn't recognize it in time. There are only three mages in total, and two of them are bronze mages, as long as I find an opportunity to lure away the old silver mage and make the target fall alone, I can take him out in an instant. ”
Hearing what Stinger said, Bolton was a little happy.
"It's good that Mr. Stinger can be sure, if the task is successfully completed, I am willing to personally pay Mr. another 1,000 gold soles!"
"I hope you do what you say, it's still too late to chase those two mages, I'll go!"
After speaking, he quietly left the city lord's mansion, Bolton watched the silver assassin disappear in front of his eyes, and had an idea in his heart, it seems that the guards of the city lord's mansion will be strengthened again, and he doesn't want to die like his father. ”
The flying techniques cast by the mages rely on the power of the surrounding air to propel the human body forward, so the speed is relatively slow, probably faster than that of ordinary people, similar to riding a carriage, but not as fast as riding a fast horse. Silver Mages are flying faster, but there is no qualitative change. Moreover, in order to take care of the other two bronze mages in the stinger mission, the speed of the three should not be too fast, as long as they are fast, they should be able to catch up quickly.
And although the mage's flying skills occupy the air advantage, the flight altitude is generally not high, all in mid-air of about a few hundred feet, because the air flow in the sky will cause them to hinder after a certain altitude, unless it is a golden ** master who has mastered the power of the elements, he can be like those large flying birds, flying at a height of tens of thousands of feet, not affected by low temperature and air currents.
At such a height, with the eyes of a silver powerhouse, it can be observed from a distance of several miles, not to mention that he is still good at tracking down hidden silver assassins, so the stinger is not worried that he will lose his target.
