As a freelance mercenary, Jerter's life was not as good as the bards had made it known to him.

At the beginning, he was just unwilling to be the companion of the poor all his life, so he ran out of the poor scumbag hometown and joined the organization of mercenaries.

But in reality, the life of a mercenary is obviously not what he imagined.

It makes no difference to live a precarious life with danger all the time.

But the wealth that was conceived did not accumulate much.

This is not because the mercenaries do not have high returns, but because of the super high payouts.

Because of his ruthless personality since childhood, as well as some special circumstances, he always takes on some assassination and cleaning dirty work.

Although these jobs are extremely risky, the rewards are also very high, but in order to deal with the risks in the mission, most of his income is invested in equipment, intelligence, potion consumption and other things, which is equivalent to returning the mission.

After a task, the net profit is pitiful.

So after more than ten years as a mercenary, he is still poor.

The fist is afraid of being young and strong, and the mercenary actually eats young food, and after the age of thirty, his state declines, and it is difficult to fight with others again.

Although his state is still at the peak for the time being because he is an extraordinary being, he has to plan for the future.

Saving a sum of money, retiring with honor, and having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life is the best destination that mercenaries can achieve, but few people can do it.

Jert didn't have any extravagant hopes at first, he just hoped that he would be able to retire safely and retire successfully.

Because even this is something that few mercenaries can do.

All sorts of tasks, dirty work, did not bring them decent wealth, but they did accumulate enough enemies for them.

Therefore, many mercenaries die unexpectedly before they retire, and there are almost no ten people who can retire peacefully.

However, Jert was lucky, he saved a good reputation during his work, so he received a good job at this embarrassing age.

That's the assassination mission.

The target is a large nobleman, enough to go to the gallows, or be hunted to death by a group of knights of the family.

But the other party gave too much money, a new identity, a stable life, a high reward, and even a letter of appointment from the sheriff.

In other words, if he successfully completes this assassination mission, he will not only get a high reward, but also have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and can also live a decent life.

In fact, Jert actually doesn't believe much in this, he is no longer a rookie who has just entered this industry, and he has also dealt with nobles, and he knows exactly what kind of virtue the other party is.

So before taking on this task, he made great efforts and used all his channels to inquire about the general situation clearly.

This is an extremely secret mission, and because of some accidents, the other party can't spare his own manpower, so it falls on his head in the form of a bounty commission.

Perhaps, when they are anxious, those noble lords don't care about the reward, but after the matter is completed, they will definitely not allow uncontrolled insiders to exist.

It can also be seen from the fact that the other party forcibly crossed the black market intermediary and contacted him directly, and the other party obviously did not intend to stay alive.

Under normal circumstances, with his cautious disposition, it is absolutely impossible to take on such a task, and no amount of reward will be great.

But his own enemy also found the door at this time, and now he urgently needs a sum of money to run away.

The reward for this task in front of him is extremely generous, even if it is only half of the money pre-deposited in his account, it is enough for him to have food and clothing for the rest of his life.

So he plans to run away with the money in his hand after completing the task, and the remaining half of the reward promised by the other party can be taken as soon as he can get it, and pulled down if he can't get it.

As for the other rewards, he didn't even think about it.

After the crow lands in the target's tent, Jert emerges from the shadows.

Glancing out the window at the unaware patrol soldier, a small smile appeared on his face.

In fact, he is already too lucky compared to other mercenaries, and this luck comes from his extraordinary strength.

It was when he first engaged in this line of work, and in his ignorance, he killed a man who was seriously injured and killed.

When the other person dies, a mass resembling Star Swirl emerges from the corpse. He didn't know what it was at the time, but he carefully pocketed it and planned to sell it on the black market.

But it turned out to be combined with the cold medicine in his pocket.

After ingesting it by mistake, he gained a supernatural ability: thaumaturgy - Flying Feather.

It was only at this time that the veil of mystery of this world was lifted in front of him.

The extraordinary power of this world is only in the hands of the temple and the great nobles, and the ubiquitous dark world naturally has a piece of the pie.

A mercenary with a low status and a head pinned to his waist is not actually qualified to touch the transcendent realm, but as a chaotic gray area, it is normal to hide some hidden transcendents.

Jert has gained great benefits from several secret gatherings, participated in several transcendent events, and was fortunate enough to gain a lot of knowledge about the transcendental, as well as a powerful power in the mercenary world.

Pulling back his thoughts, Jert couldn't help but focus on his target again.

He didn't know why he was so emotionally moved today, maybe it was because after this last mission, he was going to say goodbye to his past life.

The target is a fourteen-year-old boy, as a nobleman, he is likely to be a transcendent, but even if he is also a transcendent, Jert does not feel that the other party can have any combat power.

Just like the legendary bosses he knows, there is a chance that he will be killed by ordinary swords.

When you really enter the transcendent world, you will find that this place is far from being as mysterious as ordinary people think.

So the only difficulty in this mission is the group of heavily armed knights outside.

Although the Sea Dragon Knights are not good at land warfare, they are also in the top ten among the regular armies of the entire kingdom.

It can be crushed directly against ordinary bandits. Even if an ordinary transcendent person faces them, he can only hold his head and run away.

Jett was confident in his own strength, but he didn't think he could outperform a cavalry team.

But just bypassing them and attacking and killing the target, he was still very sure, just like now, he was already standing in front of the target's bed, and the idiot knight outside still didn't know anything.

A dark purple mist suddenly appeared in his hand, and with the wave of his arm, it quickly spread towards the bed.

This is a thaumaturgical necromantic fog that is highly poisonous.

As the last goal of his mercenary career, he decided to be merciful once and bestow a painless and bloodless death, which was also the most dignified farewell to a nobleman.

"Sorry, this is my tent. Who are you looking for?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Jert, startling him into a thrill and quickly turning around.

Behind him, a slightly thin teenager was standing there looking at him strangely.

Target person!

This was Jett's first reaction, and the portrait given by the other party and the employer was exactly the same. And there is no possibility of disguise modification and impersonation, which is the empirical judgment of an old qualified killer.

It's just that although he saw the righteous master, he didn't dare to act rashly in the slightest.

Although the other party seems harmless, it is obviously impossible to stand behind him silently and be a simple character.

Judging from his experience over the years, this mission is eighty percent to be planted.

But he still didn't give up, although he just ran away and hid those advances, he was not afraid of being hunted down afterwards, but that was not in line with his professional ethics.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand the obsession of doing something that has been done for most of their lives and wants a happy ending.

So, even in this situation, he gritted his teeth and decided to give it another try.

He reached into his bosom and pinched the life-saving rune stone that had been kept, and it gave him endless confidence.

didn't mean to talk to the other party, he moved as soon as the other party's voice fell. The first strike is strong, the second strike suffers, and the best time to get the other party's mental relaxation is the most basic judgment of a mercenary who takes assassination as his job.

Seven or eight strange transparent silk threads, as if created out of thin air, wound towards the thin young man who was still curious to ask.

At the same time, Jert's hand behind his back clenched a dark black runestone, ready to crush it at any moment.

Although he especially wanted to complete this mission, he still retained three points of reason, and he didn't do his best, it was just a temptation, and if something was wrong, that rune stone was the capital to save his life

It's just that the result of the shot surprised him, and those silk threads were entangled with the other party's body without hindrance.

Is it really just a coincidence, and the other party just happened to get up at night?

This thought flashed in Jert's mind, but he didn't have the slightest carelessness, and while clinging to the rune stone, he quickly conveyed his will with the help of the silk thread that entwined the other party, intending to control the other party.

This is a thaumaturgical puppet, a good thing that was exchanged in a secret party, and it only takes a thought to defeat the enemy.

Now he didn't think about attacking, because it would be too easy to use too much force and let him fall into it himself, so he only thought about subduing the other party first.

He always felt that there was a terrifying danger lurking around him, and the boy who suddenly appeared gave him too much pressure, but even a legendary powerhouse probably didn't dare to let him wrap the silk thread around his body like this, so he was a little confused for a while.

However, he had always trusted his own judgment, and even if the danger did not come from the boy on the other side, it was definitely lurking around.

"You're really cautious. ”

Jert kept extending his consciousness to condense the silk threads, and when the ten silk threads on his ten fingers were completely straightened, he let out a long sigh of relief, and the touch from his fingers convinced him that he had completely controlled the other party.

At this point, even if there is a danger lurking around him, he is sure to kill the target person before it completely explodes, and then calmly leave.

It was just abrupt that the young man opposite actually spoke again.

How could someone whose mind was completely controlled by him still speak.

Jert was shocked, he didn't think about the reason at all, and he planned to crush the escape rune at the first time, but what made him even more cold was that he pinched it and pinched it empty.

"Are you looking for this?" The young man in front of Jert was very understanding, and although he had not received a response, he was still not angry. At this time, he gently picked up a black rune stone and asked him with a concerned face.
