Chapter 9: Assassination

Leaving Chu Sheng and them, Shen Yi walked towards the city alone.

Walking down the streets of Canterlot, you can see people in strange armor walking around everywhere.

They look like ancient people living in modern society, but they don't attract anyone's attention.

The Arrent Empire said that it was a continent of science and technology, but in fact, it was also a parallel of magic and martial arts, although the power of the light and dark elements was attenuated, but it had not yet reached the point where it was completely impossible to cultivate, and it was precisely because of this that there would be very special professions such as gunners and mechanics. On the one hand, they have great physical ability, and on the other hand, they have powerful technological weapons, and the combination of the two can be tied to the other two continents.

The power of technology and the power of magic reached a harmonious unity at this moment, because the Aaronte Empire admired gold, the buildings of the whole country were mostly resplendent in gold, and the gorgeous appearance and various colors of energy armor made this society look dazzling, at least visually, as if they were in heaven.

According to Shen Yi's design, the Arendt Empire itself was a society with a deformed degree of scientific and technological development. On the one hand, the country has developed high-tech products such as lightsabers, mechas, flying cars, and eternal hearts, and is also extremely developed in terms of material life. But on the other hand, their aerospace capabilities are extremely poor, and they only have the most ordinary level of civil aviation, fighters.

For Shen Yi and them, what this continent has provided for Shen Yi from the beginning is a powerful ground armed force, and in terms of space military, Shen Yi does not need it.

Because of this, even in this modern metropolis with advanced technology, high-rise buildings, steel and concrete, those samurai in armor and armed with antique swords and guns abound.

Most of these samurai were mercenaries of the Bounty Guild and were mainly engaged in some hunting work.

That's right, just like in the game and in the novel, there are various guilds in this world, and players get quests through these guilds.

Although the Arron Empire is a technological continent, there are still many mysterious monuments left over from ancient times in various parts of this continent, and all kinds of magical and extraordinary lives live, and some places are even forbidden areas of life to this day.

Of course, in the game, these places are often referred to as dungeons and wilds.

Whether it is the Continent of Science and Technology, the Continent of Xianxia or the Continent of Gods and Demons, there are similar places, although human beings claim to dominate the world, but if the area of cities and reclaimed territories is calculated, the actual territory occupied is less than one-tenth of the entire world.

This land is still a world where humans coexist with other powerful lifeforms, and mercenaries are a profession for survival, and it is also the way for players to obtain missions, and it is also the main channel for adventurers to obtain missions.

However, it is difficult to complete the quest requirements with the Bounty Guild alone - the quests issued by the Bounty Guild are cash-based, and the 100-to-1 exchange ratio makes it necessary for adventurers to earn 5.4 million per person to meet the 54,000-point quest requirement.

You can fully imagine the expression on the face of the Blackwater mercenary when he said, "The hiring price for each person is 5.4 million, and the maximum working time is a month".

Chu Sheng is right, Shen Yi's design can be said to be all kinds of cheats.

Adventurers are accustomed to earning money every day, and few will associate the blood spot with daily income.

When the two are really put together, they will feel more intuitively that although the job of an adventurer is dangerous, the pay is really not low.

This helped them change their impression of the city, so Shen Yi decided that the Supreme Council would keep this part unchanged.

In addition to bounty missions, there are two ways to earn points, which are part-time jobs and killing monsters to obtain materials for sale, but these two methods are also obtained by obtaining cash and exchanging them for points.

The only way to get points directly is for the various hidden quests, but it's not easy to find the person who posted the quest.

Finally, there are the faction missions.

The so-called faction missions are all kinds of espionage intelligence and assassination missions issued by the imperial government for the other two camps.

This quest also gives a small cash reward, but the more important thing is the contribution points required in main quest 2.

In addition to system requirements, contribution points also have a unique role in themselves, which can be used to exchange various equipment, skills, promote positions, and obtain privileges.

Now Shen Yi is going to the central city hall where the camp mission was issued-for him, the camp mission is what he cares about, as for the bloody point...... That thing wasn't taken into account in the first place.

The city hall camp quest release point is open, due to the relationship of modernization, the spacious and bright hall, clean and clean floor tiles, polite service personnel to a bit similar to modern large service structures, the only discord is probably those samurai dressed in mecha, armed with all kinds of guns and swords coming and going in the hall.

In the center of the hall is a large electronic screen that shows the country's faction mission for the day.

However, these faction quests are not available immediately, and must reach 100 faction reputation.

The reputation of the camp when the adventurer enters is zero, so to reach 100 reputation, you have to go to the small hall next to it to take some prestige tasks, and only after increasing the prestige can you take the official faction quests, 100 points of faction prestige is not difficult to obtain, but it is quite troublesome, usually at least three days.

The higher the Faction's reputation, the more advanced the Faction Quests you can access and the more Contribution Points you will receive.

For adventurers, the battle time required to get 10 contributions and 1 contribution may be about the same, but the time spent going back and forth is completely different, so unless you can't reach the task, the more advanced the mission, the better.

After coming to the city hall, Shen Yi did not go to the small hall, but took a free newspaper and sat near the gate, reading the newspaper on a seat under a marble column.

Time passed quietly, and 20 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, Shen Yi raised his head and looked out the door.

Three flying cars were parked outside the gate of the city hall, and a man in a red coat and a golden mecha was getting out of the car.

"It's finally here......" Shen Yi whispered and put the newspaper down.

The man's name was Atkins, a major general in the Arentan Empire. He was a hawk in the true sense of the word, and he was a strong advocate of using more force against the other two camps, so although he was not at the top, he had a great reputation among the people - and radical rhetoric was always easier to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Because of this, whenever he comes to the city hall, it means that some relatively aggressive tasks will be released, such as hunting a certain big person in the Gods and Demons Continent and getting a lot of rewards.

Today, Shen Yi is here for him, but not to take over the task from him, but to save people. Soon there will be an assassination of Atkins - the major general who often issues assassination orders and is also a regular on the bounty orders on the other two continents.

Saving a Major General is the fastest way to gain prestige, not only allowing him to skip the previous tedious tasks to gain a lot of prestige, but even directly gaining contribution points and the friendship of the Major General - no matter what the era, saving the driver is the least costly and most rewarding task.

The reward for assassinating ten generals is not necessarily as good as the reward for saving one general.

If it weren't for the restriction of his position, the emperor would not have appeared here, and Shen Yi couldn't wait to save Emperor Aaron's life.

Atkins had already entered the hall, with only four gold-armored guards behind him, perhaps in his opinion, there was no need to bring more bodyguards in this place where the masters of Canterlot gathered.

However, as he stepped into the hall, the two men in the hall suddenly turned around.

Atkins was also a battle-hardened general after all, and the moment the two men turned around, he sensed the crisis and stopped abruptly.

The two men had raised their hands and unleashed two golden hammers, which pulled a whirling light in the air and smashed Atkins hard.

"Hammer of Blessing?" Atkins instinctively cried out, but he didn't have time to dodge, his hands jerked upward, and the mecha on his body had already flashed a large amount of energy light, and the energy shield had completely enveloped him.

Two small golden hammers roared and smashed on Atkins' mecha one after another, the first blow completely shattered the energy shield, and the second blow hit Atkins's mech, even the mecha cracked piece by piece.

The four gold-armored guards behind Atkins had rushed up at the same time, and at this moment, a light curtain suddenly lit up in the crowd, and Atkins was horrified when he saw this, and shouted, "Retreat!"

Rumble!

A huge shockwave rose from the ground, sending all four guards flying at the same time.

Atkins retreated a step earlier, and finally was not hit head-on by the shockwave, but the aftermath still shocked him to retreat again and again, this person was also brave, and at the same time as he flew back, a huge hand-held shaped cannon appeared in his right hand and pointed at a corner in the distance: "Come out!"

Rumble!

The cannon had already fired a beam of light, and a priest who was hidden in the crowd was hit by him and blasted straight away.

However, just as Atkins hit the target with a shot, a figure suddenly appeared behind Atkins. It was an assassin covered in black cloth, stabbing Atkins in the back without the protection of his mech.

Atkins' reaction was also fast, and the laser sword in his left hand was impressively in his hand, and he was blocking the assassin's sneak attack, and at the same time, his body suddenly turned around, and he had already slammed into the assassin with an elbow, and shouted: "Advance strike!"

An elbow slammed into the Assassin's throat, shattering the Assassin's Adam's apple with a single blow, but the blow also completely unbalanced his body, and at that moment, another phantom suddenly appeared, falling from the sky and striking another blow at Atkins.

This stabbing sword is full of energy, radiant, powerful, and even more powerful than the previous Blessing Hammer.

Atkins knew that something was wrong, the Assassin had clearly prepared everything, and the blow at this moment was the real fatal blow. He could no longer dodge this shocking stab, and there was a look of despair in his eyes.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, pushed Atkins away, and the blood-colored long sword reversed, colliding with the earth-shattering sword, and exploded on the flat ground with a bang.

Shen Yi snorted, and flew out of the blood spitting wildly.

The Assassin's sword light skyrocketed, and he wanted to hunt down Atkins again, but he missed the best opportunity, and there was no chance to kill, Atkins' lightsaber swept back, blocking the sword, and at the same time, the right shaped cannon was aimed at the assassin again.

The assassin apparently knew the power of the gun, and flipped back, dodging the muzzle of the gun while firing a black shot at Atkins.

Four golden-armored guards who had been blown up rushed up at this time, and one of them flew forward to block the blow, and Atkins' shaped cannon was already launched, and the assassin returned his sword to block, and the thick beam of light hit the long sword, which shocked the assassin and flew out.

At this time, the mercenaries in the hall and the security personnel of the town hall also rushed out, and a sharp alarm sounded in the hall, and the two assassins who threw the hammer in the previous were immediately surrounded and saw that they would not last long.

The last assassin knew that he had lost the opportunity to assassinate Atkins, and angrily glanced at Shen Yi, who had fallen to the ground, thinking that if it weren't for this bastard's intervention, the mission would have been completed, and he snorted angrily: "Count your luck!"

"Lord Atkins, are you alright?" Seeing the Assassin flee, a group of mercenaries surrounded him and slapped him at him.

A trace of blood erupted from the corner of Atkins's mouth, although his strength was strong, he was not as powerful as a cultivator from the Gods and Demons Continent, and the two blessing hammers just now also caused some dark injuries to him while breaking through his energy shield and mecha.

"Lord Atkins, you're injured, come on!"

"I'm fine, let's take a look at that person first. Atkins pointed to Shen Yi, who was still lying unconscious on the ground, and said impatiently: "If it wasn't for him just now, I would have died." ”

A golden-armored guard hurriedly rushed over to pick up Shen Yi. As a major general's guard, if Atkins is assassinated, they will not have any good results, so several guards are also extremely grateful to Shen Yi.

After checking Shen Yi's injury, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and turned around: "There is no direct injury, it may be that he was stunned, it should not be life-threatening!"

"Hmph, Carmela's holy sword and phantom blow are terrifying, even I can't stop it, this person was just stunned, his strength should be pretty good, he can save me desperately regardless of his own safety, and he is also a loyal and brave man...... Send him to the hospital, pass me the order, you must give him the highest treatment, treat him with the best medicine, and inform me when he recovers, I will thank him well!"

"Yes, General!" replied the guard respectfully.

A group of adventurers all had envy on their faces, wondering how this credit had not gone to me. This kid will die in great calamity, and he will be blessed in the future.
