Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Gray Street Killer
Just as Xue Hua was out of the city, in the gray street of Lu Gaoyin's outer city, a man wrapped in a pure black robe and wearing a miserable white strange mask walked into a dark alley behind a bar.
In the shadows of the deepest part of the alley, in a dark corner where even the harshest noonday sun in the desert could not shine, a small, dilapidated log cabin that seemed to collapse at any moment stood silently.
The black-robed man hesitated for a moment, looked around, and saw that no one noticed him, so he quickly went into the alley, and walked quickly to the door of the wooden house.
And the moment he stood in the doorway, a shadow appeared behind him, and a pure black fist sword with a strange dark dye on the blade was handed out of the shadow, and hit the back of the black-robed man's neck.
"Who, what."
A gloomy and concise voice of inquiry came from the shadows, and the coolness on the blade and the indifference in the interrogator's tone made the black-robed man's forehead can't help but shed a drop of cold sweat.
He had no doubt that if his answer was slightly questionable, the fist sword would not hesitate to cut his neck.
The kind with the belt bones.
So he hurriedly raised his hands with black gloves to show that he had no malicious intent.
However, this action did not shake the deadly blade in any way.
"Find someone, do things."
The black-robed guest hurriedly explained, as he felt that the fist sword was slowly pressing into his cloak.
"Proof of the cost." The shadow spoke again, but the sword in his hand relaxed slightly.
"Here." The black-robed guest was also concise, and at the same time, his right hand shook, and a gray cloth bag appeared in his palm.
Shadow reached out a hand to take the bag, then was silent for a moment, as if looking at the contents of the bag.
It took about two or three minutes before the gloomy voice came again.
"Six days, here... Alive? ”
Shadow seemed to have some questions, and finally continued.
"Alive." The black-robed guest's determined voice came from under the mask.
"Not enough." The shadow said, holding out a hand to the black-robed man once more.
The black-robed man hesitated for a moment, and then as if he had made up his mind, his right hand shook again, and another cloth bag appeared in his hand.
Shadow quickly took the cloth bag and examined it, then retracted the fist sword with satisfaction, and spoke at the same time.
"Six days, here."
When the black-robed man heard this, he let out a soft breath.
Then, he waited for a while, but he didn't feel any movement.
Only then did he turn around, only to see that there was only silence around him, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
The black-robed man hesitated for a moment, then quickly left the alley and ran to the sunny spot outside the gray street, gasping for breath like a survivor who had just escaped from the sacrificial chamber of the Hell cultist.
He gasped for a long time before he straightened up, and ripped the mask off his face, revealing a pale, gloomy, morbidly beautiful female face and long gray-white hair slightly peeking out on his forehead.
If Xue Hua did this again, he would definitely recognize this woman.
It was in the palace that she duel with Xue Hua, and finally lost the foundation of her life because of greed, the level 63 female necromancer-Buddy.
She had asked the court governor for leave before, saying that she wanted to rest for a few days, but of course it was just a pretense.
In fact, the real purpose of her leave of absence was to come here to meet someone in the gray street and hire him to do something for herself.
This guy is a well-known killer in the underground world of Lu Gaoyin, and legend has it that he is an assassin of the Evil Pact, with a level of 86, and even in that mysterious underground world, he is very famous.
But this "fame" only spreads on a small scale, and even fewer people can find him and hire him to complete the task.
In order to meet her, Buddy paid a considerable price, and in order to ask him to help, she almost emptied all the net worth she had accumulated over the years.
All this is just to regain the "treasure" that she thinks should belong to her.
and snatched the so-called "homologous treasure" from Xue Hua.
She is a professional, but now she hires a deed to do things for her, if this kind of thing spreads, let alone the palace guards, the whole of Lu Gaoin will not have a place for her......
Therefore, she kept this matter very secretive and did not dare to reveal it to anyone.
But she didn't know that the treasure she wanted to retrieve was not what she had imagined it to be, and that the appearance of the gem and its ability to mutate the skills of the profession were all just an illusion of what it had revealed.
The reason why the gem stimulates the skill mutation of the profession is that the creature or race that created the gem uses a very stealthy overdraft technique that overdraws the user's life potential and lifespan in exchange for enhanced psionic perception of the user.
Buddy is now level 63.
It stands to reason that she has at least a few hundred years to live.
And she became famous relatively early, only more than two hundred years old, and she has reached the height of today's rank.
Her professional level cap is also quite high, reaching level 91.
Under such conditions, it stands to reason that her appearance should not be what it is now.
Her withered, pale hair and sickly face meant that she should be 600 years old by profession rather than 300, but the nature of the necromancer's profession obscured the importance she and others attached to the issue.
- Almost all necromancers will undergo some degree of change in their physical and physical features due to their long-term relationship with corpses and undead after reaching a high level.
However, if she could look up her lifespan, she would be horrified to find that her remaining lifespan had been unknowingly reduced to less than a hundred years.
However, she didn't know all this, she was just bent on regaining her "treasure" and by the way, getting the "share" in Xue Hua's hands.
However, it wasn't until she came back to her senses that she had just surrendered all her family to an ignorant deed-bearer, and Buddy couldn't stop regretting it.
What if this guy is a liar?
What if he takes the money and runs away?
Damn it! How could she be so sloppy!
Buddy's face alternated blue and white, and his feet moved slightly, as if he wanted to go back to the alley and get his money back.
But the killing intent that she felt from that guy's fist and sword before that could almost freeze people's souls made her involuntarily stop her steps.
She didn't dare to go......
Yes, she's a high-level necromancer with 6 mutated skills, but the guy in there isn't going to be a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Moreover, although his level is just a rumor, it is indeed much higher than her, because she can't see this guy's level at all.
The most important thing is that even if that guy is really so reasonable, he even allows her to ask for the money back to terminate the mission......
What happens when she gets her money back?
Guarding these useless gems in Lugoin's old age?
Like those losers, like Yoo Jin, who had always been the object of her sympathy before?
The thought of this consequence made Buddy shudder.
She would never allow the rest of her life to be like this.
Never!
So, she gritted her teeth hard, trying not to think about the possibility that the guy was a liar, but turned her attention to imagining how she would "treat" the damn little bastard when he was caught in front of her by the assassin, so that he could obediently hand it over.
