ββββ mutilated pendant, an important point! Do you understand? Find a way to fix it! γ
Xu Yichen looked at the pendant in his hand, and felt as if he had inadvertently obtained something amazing, although he didn't know what kind of number enough Chaos Blood was, but for players, as long as there was enough motivation, even if the Chaos Blood was drained, he would see what rewards would be there!
He put away his money bag, hung the [broken pendant] around his neck, and carefully hid it in his leather armor. Today's attribute bonus happens to be dexterity, Xu Yichen felt that his ribs were blowing, and every muscle was trembling slightly, as if he could enter the state of output at any time.
Since you're not welcome at the Blind Eye Jewelry House behind you, it's time to take a stroll through the game's shopping street! Touching the heavy money bag, Xu Yichen planned to arm himself well, Sir Gangze should not mind these small money.
Unfortunately, Xu Yichen, who wandered around the street for a while, soon found that although there are countless stalls and shops in the bustling city, most of them are meaningless to players.
"Come and see! Come and see! Tobacco that has just arrived in Hong Kong! The best tobacco from the New World! β
"Freshly baked bread! Freshly baked bread! β
"A miracle pill from Seris! Cure-all! Cure the disease if you are sick, and strengthen your body if you are not sick! β
In addition to the vendors shouting on the street, many shops have a sticker on the door:
"Wholesale herbs, no retail!" Or "silver rune cloth, a foot of hardware!" β
Xu Yichen walked around for a long time, but couldn't find a weapon store or similar shop for traditional games, so he had to consult Vittoria, who was more familiar with the mix.
Players' short messages are also one of the few perks for players, as long as the distance between two players is no more than 5 kilometers, messages can be delivered instantly. In addition, the farther the distance, the higher the delay time, and the specific point is that it degenerates from sending text messages to sending telegrams, and further afield, it becomes the state of writing letters.
Vittoria's reply appeared on the retina: "Xu, if you want to find a good guy, come to the Thunderhammer Blacksmith Shop to find me, the craftsmanship in other places is not as good as the dwarf here, and your leather armor also needs to be repaired by the leather maker here." β
"Well, I thought this place would be like in the novel, full of equipment with attributes, waiting for me, I'll go to you now." After Xu Yichen finished replying, he began to move forward in the direction marked on the map.

Under the bright sun, on the streets of the aristocratic district, noblewomen dressed in flowers and branches walked with delicate little parasols, and the neatly trimmed lawns on both sides were dotted with all kinds of flowers.
When Colin appeared here in his cloak, the stiff-faced little nobles on both sides of the road quickly got out of the way, they all knew that the man in the cloak was not easy to mess with, let alone the adult behind him.
"Executioner", "Antoine's Hound" are all titles of Colin.
Despite his recent arrival in the port of Antonio, Colin's reputation was well known among the established aristocracy. Although they heard of the evil devils in faraway lands, the degenerates who blasphemed the gods, and the unscrupulous orcs outside the city, these nobles were far from being established and far less intimidating than the "Hound of Antoine".
The real nobles of the city, the old Viscount Bertrand made the best note for the murderous name of His Excellency the "Executioner", and more than one eyewitness swore that they saw with their own eyes that while the Beltran family was having dinner, the "Executioner" came out of the shadow of the viscount and killed the Bertrand family at the table in front of him, and the old Viscount Bertrand could not even move. There are also some people who swear that the "executioner" did not move, but relied on the shadow to manipulate the old Bertrand's own hands.
No matter what the process was, the final result was the same anyway, old Bertrand went completely insane, and was wiped out by the whole family the day after offending Antoine's butler. Some of the nobles in the city left the port of Antoine completely, while others became supporters of Antoine's butler, completely emptying the Count of Antoine.
"The eyes of the Demon Hunter Council will not pay attention to this for a while, the big news made a while ago is enough for them to be busy for a while, it shouldn't matter if I offend the Demon Hunter here." Colin thought of this, his eyes showed a look of interest, he didn't expect that the young Seris was actually an apprentice of the Demon Hunter, no wonder he could avoid his sneak attack.
"Lord Colin!" The guards guarding the castle gates bowed their heads in fear when they saw Colin.
This is the heart of the Great Port of Antony, the castle of the Antony family, a specially designed building by scholars, extremely fortified, and a last refuge if the city is breached. It was also the residence of the Count Anthony the Younger.
The little count, with his silky blonde hair and pale face, hid high in the castle and watched Colin carefully through the window. If it weren't for this powerful assassin and the supervision of the city's nobles, Antoine would not have been so rampant.
"It won't be long before you'll all pay the price!" The little earl clenched his fists and said silently in his heart.
"Antoine, sir." Colin stared at the man sitting at the end of the table, the little man who had been the butler of the Anthony family, but who was now sitting in the master's place.
Colin didn't care if his employer was an orthodox nobleman, or if he was a lewd fat pig, as long as he could offer a price that would appeal to him, even if it was an orc, Colin didn't mind serving him.
"You've done a good job before!" Antoine tore at the steak on the plate, juice running down his chin, his huge ass almost filling the entire chair: "But you can do better with the Demon Hunter, I'm your client!" Don't you Shadow Assassins claim that the needs of your customers are your needs, anxious about what your customers are anxious about, and think about what your customers think? β
"It's a price to provoke a demon hunter's henchman, but to provoke a demon hunter's apprentice is to provoke the demon hunter organization, and you can't afford to pay such a price!" Colin said and walked into Antoine's side: "But you're lucky, the Demon Hunter Council is busy wiping its ass right now, and you don't have time to pay attention to this shitty place in the Far South, so you can try to see if you can impress me with ten times the price." β
"Ten times!" Antoine seemed to be choking on food, his face turned purple, and his voice was out of tune: "Are you crazy?" I'll give you enough money to buy the next town! β
"Think about your purpose, Antoine." Colin seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Antoine, money is not your goal, power is!" You are a clown who dreams of becoming the Count of Anthony, and if the Great Port of Anthony comes into your hands, countless riches and money will bury you! If, at this time, a passing demon hunter realizes that you have secretly provided the orcs with information about the gathering place of humans, and sold them a lot of contraband... β
Colin looked at Antoine, who was pale, with a smile: "Guess what the demon hunters are here to do in Antony's Great Port at this time?" The white-haired one will meet our little count in less than three days, and you don't have many options, Lord Antoine. β
"Alright! All right! You devil! You convinced me! Antoine collapsed in his chair as if he had leaked air: "Ten times the price, let the demon hunter disappear completely!" Don't leave anything in trouble! β
"You're smart, Antoine." Colin put his hood back on, hid his face in the shadows, and walked into the shadows of the hallway: "I don't care what you believe and what you stand, but people who pay their debts are always confusing, right?" No one likes to be in debt to the Shadows! No one can owe the Shadows a debt! Have your money ready, I'll come back and get it... β
With the last word spoken, Colin had completely disappeared into the shadows.
