Unbridled rumours have always been groundless, and they always say that there is another world hidden beneath the slums.

The gangs in the city have been plagued by the inner city of Daru for a hundred years, and the Blue Brotherhood will be at the end of the world in just a few years.

But even if the Brotherhood dies, the remains it leaves behind will be excellent nourishment for the next gang to rise.

The huge system and the many underground cities that diverted the city laid the foundation for the long-term prosperity of the Darune gang. It is also the reason why the gangs are degenerating so quickly.

It's just perfect.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

From the slums to the inner commercial districts, the underground network is extensive, and what was once a refuge forged by Darune for the status of a self-governing city-state is now a great place for people to vent their excessive energy.

Peace brings luxury.

Most of the basements throughout the city are connected.

If a noble lord on the other side of the city wanted to have some fun at night, he didn't need to hide and wear dusty sackcloth because of his face. Find a clubhouse to meet at will, and there is a passage to the best gold cave in the city of Darune.

Good wine, good food, beautiful people.

Poisons, swords, hallucinogens.

Here, there's it all.

Darune, the people of the past called it the capital of spring rain according to the ancient language of the kingdom. Now, locals prefer to call it ......

The city that never sleeps.

If Alexei had been a little patient, he could have waited until the infield opened in the evening and swaggered into it as a customer.

But he didn't have time.

Ducatt gave him patience, but not so much.

Mages don't care about playing a little game with a mortal.

He has the means to win.

Sharper eyes than eagles.

Limbs that are more dexterous than those of a civet.

He also has a body as strong as a bear.

Minions as powerful as dragons.

Following Zarok's pace, the group walked down the stairs into the narrow corridor. On the road, there are only a few candles to dispel the darkness, and the footsteps of everyone can be heard clearly, clicking, clicking.

"I hear you. ”

The mage stopped abruptly, reaching out and grabbing Zarok's shoulder before him.

"What's wrong?" Zarok turned his head in confusion, and suddenly felt a pinprick pain coming from the part where he was being grasped by the mage, "Damn, what did you do!"

He shook his shoulders violently, took a step back, and looked at the painful wound - the expensive silk material had broken a small opening, revealing the jet-black flesh inside. He wanted to speak again, but he saw the heavy shadow in front of him, and his brain was dizzy, and when he realized it again, he had fallen to the ground, and his mouth and nose were slightly wet. I tried my best to raise my head, but the candlelight not far away blurred into a cloud of light, quickly occupying the entire line of sight, everyone's shadows became distorted, and I couldn't tell who was who, and even my own memories began to pass quickly.

It's all in a flash.

A pale pink liquid with a certain consistency flowed down Zarok's facial features, quickly covering half of the corpse's cheeks. The amount of liquid like porridge was small, but a faint smell of blood quickly filled the air, and in a matter of seconds, his skin dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a thin human skin.

"Poisonous Touch. Facing Zarok's subordinates who reacted and quickly swung their fists at him, Alexei was still in the mood to explain what he had done to Zarok, "An entry-level biology magic, I only spent three minutes learning at the time. ”

"Its toxicity is usually determined by the medium used by the caster, and it just so happens that I still have a bottle of manticore's venom dry preparation remaining, and the book says that the venom is so violent that it is a luxury to make the poisoner feel pain. This is the first time I've applied it to a human body, and the results are surprisingly good, not much different from the description in the book, you wouldn't want to try it like him, right? ”

"Take your hands off. You're too dangerous. ”

A cold light flashed in the empty air, and the two headless bodies fell to the ground one after the other, blood gushing from the broken necks spilled almost all the bricks under the feet of the three men. He did it on purpose, the blood vibrating, the sword, and the direction in which the corpse fell all went towards the mage, but the invisible barrier blocked the bounty hunter's little care, and the mage who had been on guard for a long time was clean and clean, and there would be no blood stain left.

"Clean. ”

Alexey held out his hand to him, wanting to make a friendly gesture, but was ruthlessly refused.

"How did you find me?"

Ecya's voice was extremely low and hoarse, and it was very reminiscent of sand rubbing against glass.

"While the curved dust distorts the light, the eyes of the person who uses the dust cannot catch the slightest light, that is, he is blind. ”

"When we mages use warp dust, we usually also assist bat vision to distinguish directions. I'm also curious, how did you do it. Well, in the words of our mage, it's incredible, it's not magical. ”

"Followed us all the way with complete blindness, not bad, quite good. Gruger has brought in a very interesting bounty hunter, and I don't think my trip will be too boring, you are an interesting spice. ”

Hiding in the blind corner of the candlelight, the hunter with a slightly tight line behind him whispered, "Experience." ”

"You can do it with 10 years of training. ”

With that, he lifted the heads of the two fighters and cut off their ears with a spare knife to save them.

Alexey noticed the strap on which he hung his ears. The leather belt was extraordinarily wide, stitched with hooks and a fanny pack containing sword oil potions.

During his apprenticeship, Alexey, who had done several social surveys, heard some interesting rumors.

It is said that every time a good professional hunter returns, they have bloody credentials wrapped around their belts.

The blood-colored walk that was not wiped dry, looking from a distance, it was like a corner of the king's flag swept by the wind under the remnant sun in the sky.

Employers and their hounds.

The belt was wrapped around the bridles.

It's power.

There is also convenience.

This is a fairly effective explicit deterrence.

At least hunters settle their commissions for a very short period of time, and few employers are on their bills.

The only pity is that this seems to have caused the bounty hunter profession to lose points in the general public's mind.

But it doesn't matter.

Hunters live for themselves and for themselves.

Of course, as a human, mages usually don't look down on dogs.

"I've heard about your training, and it's hard to imagine what that would do. Batting in a completely enclosed room is a strange phenomenon. You have really done it, relying on the experience of the flesh instead of the functions of the flesh. I thought it was just your mortal imagination, and the bounty hunter who died at my hand severed his own tendon when he swung his sword, can you imagine? Of course, I feel that you are different from him. ”

"You might be able to live a little longer. After a moment's thought, Alexey, stroking his chin, made a conclusion.

"Many mages who have died under my sword think so too. "But more often than not, they can't speak, or they detonate a fireball in their own hands." Boom, I have to admit, much faster than my sword. ”

"Ignorant people always have something in common, and the mages who are not skilled will one day set off fireworks in their laboratories, and you, you are only predating their deaths. ”

"Even if you don't do anything, they'll die. ”

Alexei waved his hand and said first, "Discussing idiots will dull your head, so hurry up and end this boring argument." I don't want to waste time on the topic of idiots. ”

He then put on a smile that he thought was kind, and showed Ishia as much kindness as he could: "How about it, are you interested in doing an experiment with me? A new topic about the use of physical experience instead of physical parts." I have some plans for the project, but I still don't have a sample of the experiment, and I think you can help me, it will be a big discovery. ”

"With all due respect, your words sound creepy. ”

"That's a shame. Although the mage said this, there was not the slightest pity on his face, and his smile was reduced by two points.

Their eyes crossed in the air, and the bounty hunter immediately turned his head away, and he said, "Let's talk less useless." Tell me your answer? ”

He didn't look very patient, and his eyes hidden behind the mask revealed a hint of anxiety: "I shouldn't have been here with you for too long. ”

"You have to learn to get used to it. You may disagree, but I think the achiever comes first. ”

"You know, there are a lot of people who don't have a chance to talk to me even if they spend a lot of money. ”

"Because life is always full of surprises, and sometimes, it's okay to stop for a while, you don't necessarily know what you're missing. However, it's time to end this mission. ”

Alexey drew a symbol in the air, and with a single stroke, the strange pattern fell to the ground, which caused Ishia's wary eyes, but soon, he found that the pattern disappeared after a slight light on the surface.

"Rune Guard. ”

The mage pointed to the pattern that had just been hidden in the floor tiles and said, "Depending on the amount of magic I infused with the creation of it, it can last from three to twelve hours. Whenever a living creature touches me, the rune guards send me a warning signal. ”

"Physical experience is nothing but a sideshow. ”

"No matter how confident you are when you walk around without making a sound, the details will still betray you. The dust doesn't fall into the void, your body tells me that some of the dust that is lifted from the soles of your feet will suddenly disappear when it reaches a certain point. So I placed a few runes on the way, and they succeeded, and they successfully informed me that there was one more person in our group. ”

The cold bounty hunter didn't reply, and after listening to the answer, he walked to the portal at the end of the corridor, and took out a small bottle from his waist, which seemed to be empty and filled with dust that could not be caught by the naked eye. He smeared the dust on his body, and soon, the bounty hunter's figure blended into the darkness of the background again, disappearing into thin air.

"Gone. ”

Candlelight flickering.

Alexei glanced at Gog, who had secretly taken the dagger out of Zarok's boots and put the handle in his mouth and took a bite, pretending to be ignorant as he watched the last door connected to the infield open.

He sniffed the fishy smell lingering on the tip of his nose and suddenly felt a little excited.

"It's a bit greasy though. ”

"But ......"

"The smell of death...... It's sweet. ”
