Chapter 268: Mission Objectives

As soon as the door opened, Barrett sensed the presence of his target.

The guy was in a stealth state, not too far from the doorway, and seemed to be hiding near a tall ficus potted plant. Although the more precise position is not too certain, there is certainly nothing wrong with the general direction.

Especially after the door opened, in that position that seemed unremarkable to the naked eye, a rather strong killing intent suddenly erupted in an instant, which made Barrett even more convinced of this.

The strength of the other party is nothing more than that, the barbarian thought in his heart. A seasoned Assassin would not make such a serious mistake - he would not be able to restrain his murderous intent.

Barrett was not an Assassin, but as far as he knew, elite Assassins were slicing a piece of freshly baked bread with a knife when they smeared their necks with a dagger, and did not have any emotional fluctuations. That guy seems to be a long way from this realm.

"Who are you looking for?" asked the man who opened the door sleepily, "Did you knock on the wrong door, I don't know you." Wait, do you want to find my wife, find Novia?" The man's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked Barrett up and down suspiciously.

"No, I'm not looking for you, or your wife, or anything. Barrett patiently explained, "The person I'm looking for doesn't actually belong in this room, he's an uninvited guest like me, and I want to take him away." He looked in the direction where his target was hiding, "I advise him not to do anything senseless, I will give him a chance to play fairly, which is good for everyone." ”

"Hey, what do you mean by that, um? What kind of fair fight? Are you Novia's old lover?" said the man angrily, "I tell you, I'm not a vegetarian! You know, I eat meat at every meal, you listen, it's every meal!" He clenched his fists and waved his two hemp arms, "See? This move, and this trick! Don't think you can do whatever you want when you're big, I've learned martial arts! Hey, where are your eyes looking?"

The man stopped his ridiculous movements and followed Barriet's gaze towards the ficus bonsai, but found nothing unusual, "Hey, what the hell do you want to do? He clenched his hands into fists again, the backs of his hands facing outwards, one in front of the other, and the flat ends in front of his chest.

"Don't get excited, I'm not going to do anything bad for you and your family. And, I'll just go and leave with him. Barrett smiled apologetically at the man in the room, and stepped back to the door.

He could sense that the target had followed his movements, silently walking out of the house, and as he was leaving, he accidentally touched the man's shoulder.

The man subconsciously looked around, frowning suspiciously, but still didn't find anything abnormal. He then stood inside the door and swung his fist at Barrit, slamming the door shut.

"Hey, Novia, wife!" Barrett heard the man shout from inside the house, "There was a strange big guy outside the door just now, he wanted to take you away, but I beat you away! You say I'm not good?" The voice faded away, and suddenly it sounded faintly in a window on the second floor, "I'm like a knight who rescued the princess from the mouth of an evil dragon!" But, Your Highness Princess, the knight wants to eat fried veal sausage tonight......"

Barrett withdrew his attention and threw himself into the air in front of him.

The target figure gradually emerges from the air. It was an ordinary lizardman, barely up to the brute's shoulder, no different from any other lizard Barrett had ever seen (he couldn't tell the difference between individuals of this race).

He'd killed at least hundreds of such creatures, and now, it's just a matter of adding another 'one' to that number.

"Hmph, the adventurer who took the bounty? You're coming sooner than I thought. The lizard man in front of him said indifferently. He wore the long, chic dagger around his waist, and the scales on his body reflected the light of the rising sun.

"I'm busy, and there's still a lot of work to do, so I want to get you done quickly. Barrett turned and beckoned to his target, "If you're okay, let's go out of town and solve it?" He glanced at the lizardmen and led the way out of town.

"Are you sure you can get rid of me? The cold voice of the lizard man came from behind him, "I just need to step forward and stab lightly now, and those guys in the city-state will have to be replaced by another person." ”

"No, it's self-confidence. Barrett corrected, "Actually, my attention is all on you right now, so you can't hurt me even if it's a sneak attack." What's more, I, there are other helpers watching you. ”

The Carrot hovered in the shadow plane beside Barritt, and if the lizard dared to move, it would carry smoke and flame out of the fog and stomp on the lizardman's chest.

"Is that the constructed crow on your shoulder?"

"No, another fellow. ”

"Raven!" retorted noisily from the 'corn' on Barrett's shoulder, "Raven!!"

It's good that it understands words and can speak them. Barrett had tried to talk to it, as the garrison had said, to relieve its loneliness. But most of the time it just tilted its head, stared at those obsidian eyes, and didn't say a word, or responded with 'corn, corn'. It does eat that thing, in fact it can eat a lot of things besides magic crystals.

Mages create creatures, and their personalities are as elusive as their creators.

The noise of the 'corn' caught the attention of the passers-by, who looked sideways at Barrett and the lizardmen, but did not pay much attention, only whispered a few words, and then went about their business.

There are many alien settlements around the city-state of Muya, so the human inhabitants here are mostly unfamiliar with these alien races.

Out of the village, Barrett found a field of wheat that had been harvested not long ago. The bird on his shoulder flew up, fluttering its wings and landing in the field, pecking at the scattered seeds like a real bird, and occasionally raising its head to look at Barrett and the lizardmen.

"Well, it's good here, presumably next year's harvest will be better after being nourished by blood. Barrett said. He turned to look at the lizardmen behind him, and pulled out the twin knives 'Uno's Fangs' from the spatial ring.

This pair of accidental double knives has very good attributes. Whether it's 'Double Knife Resonance', 'Hate of the Living', or 'Severe Pain Invasion', it's all a very good attack effect. Although it is a little light for Barrett in terms of weight, he has mastered it after repeated practice and fumbling. In addition, the weight drop also gives a slight increase in attack speed, which is also very useful in duels against Assassins.

"Don't you want to say something?" Barrett asked casually, swinging his twin knives.

"Everything that needs to be said has been said. The lizardman pulled the dagger from his waist, "I probably should have died years ago, but this day came a little too late." If souls can really be reincarnated......" he said, pausing here.

"You want to be a human?" the brute flicked his shoulders, raising his combat status to the maximum.

"No, I want to be a half-sheep. With that, the lizardman brandished his dagger and charged at Barrit.
