5. Foothold Chapter 120
Speaking of the chaotic region in the southwest of the continent, Fallen Tallinn is its representative and collective name, this scattered and deformed city is located at the junction of many countries, and is known in the main world as a crime city full of crime, deception and chaos. Most of the people who live there are bandits, scoundrels, fugitives or evil professionals.
Because of the constant threat of orcs, the surrounding countries have never had a chance to eradicate this cancer, and over time, the power of the fallen Tallinn region has grown to the point that it is difficult to completely eradicate it, forming the evil sanctuary it is today.
As an Assassin organization born in Fallen Tallinn, the Black Dagger Federation is a new organization that has only emerged in recent decades, and its members are basically assassins and thieves, and the lowest strength is also the bronze powerhouse.
A Silver Assassin like Stinger, who can act alone, is already an elite Assassin of the Black Dagger Federation, and must be an experienced senior member to be able to serve as a player.
However, unlike the cold-blooded killers who have been trained by the organization to have no other hope than to complete the mission, as a member who joins halfway, Stinger still has a little hobby of his sī people in addition to completing the mission.
Stinger's hobby is to play with targets like a cat and mouse, and then slowly torture them to death little by little. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the so-called perversion, but in the perception of the stinger, this is already the greatest joy of his life.
It's just that this time his mission has obviously changed a little, not only has there been more silver mages to disrupt the situation, but also just in time for the accident that the target plans to go on a long trip.
If the task is not completed in the future, then someone in the organization will come forward to take over and punish himself, which is a situation that Stinger does not want.
For the Black Dagger Federation, Stinger doesn't actually have much of a sense of belonging in his heart, and it's just because it's a convenient way for him to have fun. But there are strong people in the organization, if the mission fails, then he will become the target of others, don't talk about any fun at that time, being able to leave a whole corpse is already a true god's estimate.
I have to say that the mage profession is much more defensive than other swordsmen, knights and the like.
At the very least, the ability to fly is something that those professions that focus on physical combat can't match. Even if they reached the Golden Rank, they could only fly in the air for a short time, and they could not travel as long as a mage. Of course, the running speed of the Golden Swordsman is comparable to that of a high-level Warcraft, and it is not comparable to the flying skills of a mage.
After setting off from Dalaran, the three mages flew all the way without the slightest stop, and in half a day, they had already arrived in the south of Boulder City, there were only a few small villages in this area, and there was still half a day's journey from the Shining Gold Town in front of them, so the three of Donald chose a flat place to land, preparing to camp here tonight.
After half a day of flying practice, Donald's flying skills have been mastered very well, but the tossing and turning is still not as smooth as his teacher, which Kael'thas is better than his master, after all, he learned to fly much earlier than Donald.
Steadily falling from the sky, Donald immediately took out tents, blankets and other Lù camp equipment from his storage space. Some of them have been stored in the space for a long time, and some of them have been specially prepared by the housekeeper Kede. Being prepared has always been a good habit for Donald, in his previous life, when he traveled, he always had a large bag and a small bag, and he always had too little when he loaded it, but he hated too much when he brought it.
Now that there is such a convenient condition as storage space, it is natural for Donald to pack more useful and useless items to keep around him.
Set up a set of stovetops and pans, and Donald himself cooked his food for the evening. This kind of alchemy furnace with a magic array arranged and driven by elemental crystals as energy is itself very valuable, and it can only be bought for at least thousands of gold soles, and generally only the royal family travels or the big nobles will use such equipment.
Moreover, this kind of thing has always been scarce in quantity, and not many alchemists will make such flashy alchemy creations with a single function in large quantities, and the appearance of alchemy furnaces at the beginning was just to facilitate alchemy Feng and the mages to do experiments.
However, for Donald, who has deep pockets, a piece of primary element spar can be transformed into a convenient stove that burns for half a month, which is naturally not much of a fee. And this kind of pure natural and pollution-free convenient energy is much stronger than any portable liquefied gas stove in the previous life.
The aroma of dinner soon filled the makeshift camp, and after Kael'thas had set up his tent, it was time to eat.
Donald made the braised pork dish that he liked in his previous life this time, using braised pork that was prepared in the territory in advance and sealed for storage, as well as some potatoes and vegetables in the space, with meat and vegetables, fragrant and delicious, and there are a variety of dishes in the pot, even elves like Kael'thas who don't like meat can't help but eat a few more bowls.
After eating and drinking, Donald summoned a stream of clean water to clean the pots and pans, and the old mage, who had spread out a stall and sat down outside the tent, asked, "Is that guy still following?"
Donald smiled and said: "It's still there, but the food is a little miserable, maybe we are afraid that we will find out, and we dare not make a fire, so I am eating cold dry food there!" "From the beginning of the departure, Donald summoned two owls to come out, and there were owls in the front and back directions of his journey, and the situation around several kilometers, Donald knew very well, as long as it was not hidden in the ground and in shelter, no wind and grass could hide from the owl's eyes.
The Assassin thought he was secretive, but he didn't know that he was in Donald's eyes.
Noticing that an Assassin of at least the Silver rank was following him, Donald immediately informed his teacher Messer of his discovery.
However, the other party is experienced, and he has secretly followed them all the way here, and has always refused to approach their effective attack range, so even Messer, a strong man in the silver high rank, has no way to take the other party. If you turn around and pursue, with the speed of the mage's flying technique, you will definitely not be the opponent of the Silver Assassin, not to mention that the opponent still has horses to travel. Therefore, the Assassin could only be allowed to follow.
Donald thought that he could teleport and attack the other party by surprise, so he told the teacher about his thoughts.
"Why don't I use teleportation to sneak attack and drag this guy, and then the teacher and Kael'thas you two fly over to join me and completely solve this guy, otherwise there will always be a tail following behind like this, I'm afraid that when we explore the ruins, this guy will give birth to some mess!"
"Be careful, the other party is not from our Northland, there may be some abilities that you haven't seen, don't suffer!"
Donald had a plan in mind... Later, when the owl saw that the assassin was still eating his food, he exchanged a glance with the teacher and his men, and then disappeared in an instant.
This is a sneak attack plan... The nose could have been very high, but Donald missed the other party's vigilance.
The silver assassin was so difficult and cunning that even when he stopped to rest and eat, he did not forget to keep an eye on the movement of his target, and when he noticed that one of the three mages in the distance was missing, and the other two were flying in his direction, he immediately left the place with dry food and rushed away.
Donald's teleportation location was fixed, so the talent spell Frost Nova that he released instantly as soon as he teleported over couldn't help but fail, allowing the assassin Stinger to be lucky enough to dodge.
After seeing the powerful spell that erupted behind him, the stinger no longer had the arrogance of a silver assassin, and the confidence to face the target alone, and ran in the other direction with a chill in his heart, wishing that he would have two more tuǐ.
Donald's speed was not as fast as the other party, and the sneak attack failed, and after chasing after a few steps, he saw that the distance between himself and the assassin was getting farther and farther, so he had to give up the pursuit with some disappointment and go to meet the teacher.
Returning to the camp, Donald said indignantly: "This guy is too cunning! He is less daring than a horned deer, and he runs so fast! It's a pity that my teleportation technique still has a cooldown time limit, otherwise I will definitely be able to catch this guy!" "It's really not good, Kael'thas you will summon a fire phoenix to cooperate with me, this time you must teach this guy a lesson!"
However, Donald's unsure proposal was rejected by his teacher, Messer.
"For such a silver assassin, the same plan can basically only be carried out once, and the next time the other party is vigilant, it will be difficult to work again, and it will be just a waste of time to try again.
On the contrary, it is better for us to recuperate, and let him go with him if he does not exist, and the other party is willing to follow! When we get to Ansel's house, it will naturally not be as easy as it is now!"
Donald thinks about it, anyway, with the teacher by his side, with that guy's cautiousness, he will definitely not take action, wait until he reaches the territory of the Ansel family, talk to Ferdinand, and then find an opportunity to send someone to deal with this guy!
Then, just as Messer expected, after the silver assassin escaped once, he knew that he had been discovered, so he was not hiding, but generously surrounded the three of Donald, but just hung cautiously a few kilometers away and kept changing directions, never approaching Donald's attack Fan Tong, yes, Donald's teleportation technique could not work.
So Donald no longer thought about settling the other party, settled down and hurried away, and after traveling to the town of Shining Gold, he stayed in the bustling town for a day and bought some goods.
Compared to Donald, who was in a good mood, the somewhat unlucky silver assassin, Mr. Stinger, was more embarrassed.
Along the way, he has experienced a more difficult environment, but he can't eat well and sleep well, but the target people are enjoying food every day, and there are well-made tents for them to sleep peacefully and sleep until dawn.
He wants to sneak up on the target and teach them a lesson, so that they can't taste the taste of sleep. But forgetting that the target itself is a summoner, every night after night, he summons a few summoned creatures to come out to guard Lou.
Although those summoned creatures are only about two or three levels of demonic beasts, they can be solved by themselves, but I didn't expect that such a weak guy seems to be born to see through invisibility, with his silver strength of stealth and his own mastery of hidden secret arts, whenever they move within a hundred steps of the opponent, these little guys are like alert hounds immediately reflect.
Unbeknownst to the stinger, of course, it wasn't the ability of the summoned creatures, but the role played by the sentry guard that Donald had planted in front of the camp.
Although the stinger knew that they could not actually see themselves, they were able to detect their existence with a magical sense ability, and if they did, they would inevitably alert the mages in the tent, so the sāo disturbance plan had to be abandoned.
Every time he thinks about this, Stinger's teeth itch with hatred, and he wants to rush forward to fight his target. But reason told him that doing so would undoubtedly be to send him to death.
"Damn mage, you really know how to enjoy!" Even the other party ate and rested in the comfortable inn room in Shining Gold Town at night, while he could only choose to spend the night in the wilderness outside the town with the cold wind blowing at night. The temperature in the winter in the north made this assassin from the mainland very uncomfortable, even if he was already a silver powerhouse, to a certain extent, he could not be invaded by cold and heat, and he could not freeze to death after being buried in the snow for three days, but it could not be said that he liked to stay in the cold wilderness.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to the town too, but because once he gets close to the other party, and in the bustling town, although there are many shelter places for hiding in the streets and houses, but in the same way, with these obstacles, he can't give full play to his speed advantage, and it is easy to be surrounded by the other party.
So the stinger can only curse in the cold wind by himself outside the town, but there is nothing he can do about this situation. !。
