A ...... Tree?
Bridge, on the branches of a tree deep in the depths, was indescribable to what he was seeing at the moment.
The giant tree towers into the sky, almost next to the sky, and what is even more peculiar is that there is an upside-down triangular building in the sky, which is too far away to see the details, as if it is formed by some kind of dense single structure, there is an indescribable weird feeling, gloomy and gloomy, which makes people feel cold and don't want to look at it too much. In conclusion, the tree is symmetrical with the tower.
Bridge couldn't find common ground between these two completely unrelated things, and naturally didn't know what they symbolized or represented.
Looking around the tree, he finally saw Doyle and Link teleported in earlier than himself, one in the trunk and the other in the canopy.
Bridge was secretly surprised that the tree was so transparent that it could be seen inside, as if it were not a living thing, but an empty ...... By the way, the Arena! Is this what the Children of Nature call the Arena? I didn't expect it to be like this......
As soon as he teleported, Link stroked his forehead on the canopy, and he forgot the rule that in order to prevent cross-level challenges and crushing, the law of cause and effect was used as a constraint, and different ranks could not challenge each other.
Doyle connected with consciousness and asked Link how he had run to the top of the tree.
[It was my negligence that I forgot that I couldn't cross the challenge. 】
Doyle was frustrated, and in her opinion, fighting was also one of the ways to understand, and it was possible to learn about Link's habits through guò and to learn from each other, so that it could be helpful in real combat.
Just as Link was considering having Bridge turn back to the ground and bring an expert mercenary or adventurer to test it, someone else teleported in. The visitor was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, thin and small, dressed in gray casual clothes, looking extremely inconspicuous, if it weren't for the fact that there were only three people here, I am afraid that it would be very difficult to find him in the crowd.
The location of the man who was teleported in was also the trunk of a tree, and the tree-shaped arena conjured up by Link's mind was at first glance solid. However, whenever someone enters, the area next to it becomes transparent, making it easier for the ancient souls hiding in Valhalla to observe.
It's a wanderer...... Bridge squinted, with his position, he shouldn't have seen the man's face, but in this strange place, he could clearly see the man's dress, and even the brooch pinned to the placket - a black dagger.
That guy is subordinate to the Thorn of Shadows!
Link apparently also revealed the identity of the wanderer who had teleported in. Before he could react, the man bowed to Link after looking at the other three people in the physical space one by one, and then it was Bridge, the 'Cunning Fox', who represented the adventurers' union and was well-known in human society.
Doyle, who is relatively secretive and rarely goes out, has actually been honored by the wanderer. It's a pity that she has a wooden face, staring at her expressionlessly, and she doesn't even have the most basic nodding greeting.
After staying in Dawn for so many years, he has long regarded Dawn's teachings as a creed, and professions such as wanderers, who specialize in assassination, theft, and intelligence, are naturally disgusted by Dawn's followers, and even if they have changed camps, they can't change their habits over the years.
The wanderer, who had become accustomed to this, didn't care, and he turned his gaze back to Link. "Your Excellency Link, I have seen a recruitment announcement from your union. ”
This was a bit unexpected by Link, he thought that this person was also in the union hall just now, and wanted to test his rank, but he didn't expect it to be recruited by the union cloth ten days ago.
Seeing that Link didn't say anything, but looked at himself with scrutinizing eyes, the wanderer further introduced: "My name is Asa, and I am a wanderer affiliated with the Thorn of Shadows. Skilled in trapping and intelligence gathering. The combat effectiveness may not be as good as this one, but it can definitely be your help. ”
Doyle snorted coldly, "Want to join, pass me first!"
The loiterer, who called himself Asa, ignored Doyle's provocation and remained staring directly at Link in the canopy.
It just so happened that the two of them were of the same rank, so Doyle could give this man a try. A wanderer who is proficient in traps doesn't mean much to Link, he likes the identity of this person's shadow thorn, so he can avoid the trouble of asking for information. If you want to know anything or contact the Thorn of Shadows, you can get through to this person, killing two birds with one stone.
Link nodded, "Recruitment is not something that can be accepted on sight, only those who have passed the guò test can join." ”
Try him. Don't be heavy-handed. 】
Link's order made Doyle, who only brought the Demon Martial Arts, converge the elemental, and the two-handed sword without flames looked like an ordinary weapon.
It seems that this battle is inevitable, and Asa will not think that the children of nature will take matters into their own hands.
But......
Turning his gaze to the warriors in the same area, the wanderers did not dare to be careless.
He had seen this man in the newly built outer city, and the battle with the Dawn Knight, even if it was only a win-or-lose battle, the red head and the flamboyant flames left an indelible impression on Asa.
Doyle Kronberg, the successor of the princes of the Far East, converted to the Dawn Sect since childhood, and was supposed to be the new duke of the replacement, but the new lord of Kronberg was a half-elf who could be called his ancestor, and even the news inside the cobwebs was only adopted by the children of nature, and the rest were all mysteries.
Asa was not unprepared, having watched Doyle and Neam on several occasions at the training ground, and had a strategy in place.
Looks like an elf on the outside, but has the strength of an orc, amazingly fast, brute force and swiftness, such an opponent is very tricky, but in order to be favored by Link, Asa knows that he must pass this hurdle. Nature's Child's Gasification is a more sophisticated ability than Latent, and his skills in traps may not be able to enter Link's eyes, and the only thing that can be used is the ability to detect information.
"What are you staying at?" Duo'er, who had put on a fighting posture early, waited left and right and didn't see the other party make any moves, and urged impatiently. Both the former knights of the Church and the warriors of today are accustomed to defending and counterattacking.
Asa pulled out the dagger that was worn at his waist, and with his other hand he touched his chest, and the whole person disappeared.
Here it is, the most basic and famous stealth technique of Malik believers!
Doyle tensed his nerves, fully prepared for a sneak attack that would come from nowhere.
Link saw that Malik was worthy of the title of the god of shadows, and even his perception could hardly capture the exact location of the wanderer, and he could only vaguely feel the presence of this person. Malik's intrigue and stealth clergy are ideal for stealth, and unless the opponent has strong perception or the ability to detect lurking, he will never reveal a flaw before attacking.
Bridge, who was also a bystander, stroked his horns, and like Link, he couldn't find out exactly where the wanderer was, but the veteran adventurer knew much more about the wanderer than the child of nature from another world. Stealth can certainly be silent, but the moment you can move to attack is also the moment when your body is exposed. The murderous aura that exploded in an instant can't be concealed, unless it can be attacked without a trace of murderous aura.
As Bridges had expected, Asa circled around Doyle's side and sensed the apparent intent to attack, Doyle picked up his two-handed sword and swept around his body with great speed.
"Dang!"
The elbow-length dagger was knocked off, but Doyle was not the least happy. She clearly felt that something was poking out at her waist with great speed, and then looked at the wanderer, and what she was holding in her hand was not her own personal money bag?
If her opponent's purpose is only to steal, she has already lost. This realization made Doyle very annoyed, and he was determined not to test again, and the two-handed heavy sword of equal height whirred, as if there were no weightless twigs.
Having lost his weapon, Asa stalked again, as if he was invisible, and it was difficult to find a trace.
Doyle took a few steps forward and stepped on the dagger to prevent the wanderer from picking it up and attacking him.
"Stop. Link's shouting stopped Doyle's attack, and also made Assa, who had retreated far away, secretly relieved.
Without weapons, he didn't dare approach the berserker.
"This thief is too weak!" Doyle shouted directly. In her opinion, the loiterer could not even catch a blow of his own, and was completely unqualified.
"In terms of intelligence solving, he is qualified. As an outsider, Link saw Asa's lightning-fast probe just now, which should also be a magic skill blessed by Malik, which should have been completely avoided with Doyle's skills, but she didn't react until she was taken away from the money bag.
Knowing what Link meant, Doyle lowered his sword and gritted his teeth at the thief who took advantage of her unpreparedness.
If Link hadn't wanted to hurt him, he would have roasted this unruly thief a long time ago, where would he have a chance to get close.
"You have to think about it, the troubles and dangers that follow me are incalculable. ”
Asa took the opportunity to salute and picked up the dagger that had fallen, "I decided to recommend myself to you after thinking about it carefully. ”
Ten days after the notice was posted, this was still the first job seeker, and Link was inevitably a little depressed.
Whether this recruitment is right or wrong, if you don't make up a certain amount of money, it won't help, and there are many crises around him, and it won't work to make up the numbers randomly, it will only harm those who come here.
[What's the matter, sign a contract with him quickly.] Lorelei, who had been silent for a long time, reminded Link that now was not the time to think.
He's not my follower. Link is a little confused.
Who sues you that only demons and followers can make a contract, and you can bind him as a mercenary leader. 】
And so it goes...... Unable to think of a suitable emblem for a while, Link split his name into two parts, combining the Chinese character 'Lin' and the Edgar human lingua franca 'ke' to form a temporary personal emblem.
With a flash of fluorescence, Asa only felt a slight tingling pain on the back of his hand, and when he looked down, a strange ornament appeared on the back of his left hand that he had never seen before, and he only recognized half of the words that were common words, and the other part of the symbols could not be understood, probably the language of the world where the child of nature was located.
