Chapter 120: The Hidden One
The next moment, silently, Dean faced the darkness like this, slowly retreating.
From the beginning of the slow to fast, it is just a moment's work.
No one who sees Dean at this moment will doubt his determination to escape.
The stalker who hides in the shadows is no exception -
Sou!
Arrows shot out, stopping Dean from continuing to retreat, and then a black shadow pounced out of the darkness, the cold glow reflected by the metal blade almost instantly aimed at Dean's eyes.
Blind!
Among the Rogue Fighting Tips, very useful skills.
It is often possible to inadvertently get a very good receipt.
This time, it seems, is no exception.
Dean let out a muffled grunt for the first time when the light hit his eyes, and then, his right hand was always covered in front of his eyes, and the back of his hand kept rubbing, obviously trying to restore his eyesight quickly.
For such an opportunity, the hidden stalker will not let it go.
Compared with the previous momentum, at this time, the other party was silent, and the dagger in his hand did not bring any sound, just approaching Dean's vest.
Not only the voice, but even the killing intent and murderous aura have also been restrained.
A truly good assassin will only show his killing intent and murderous aura at the last moment, just like the fangs of a poisonous snake.
And undoubtedly, the other party is such a deposit.
If I had to say anything, it was that the other party met Dean.
An assassin who is almost familiar with the other party's action mode, and even understands the other party's psychology.
A confrontation between two assassins. One is known and the other is considered 'familiar'.
Outcome. The jury has long been settled.
Sou!
The last arrow in the crossbow is fired. The stalker behind him obviously didn't expect such an attack, but at such a close distance, the opponent still managed to dodge the most effectively.
However, the arrows dodged, and Dean's long sword, but the other party did not.
【Attack Hit......】
[Gain the Indomitable 1v1 Bonus ......]
[The opponent's agility judgment failed, and the dodge failed......]
[Medium ...... of your own strength and opponent's constitution]
[Gain the Indomitable 1v1 Bonus ......]
[Strength +1 (Specific Value: Weapon Sharpness)> Constitution +o (Opponent's Armor)]
[Your own strength is determined to pass guò.] And the strength exceeds the opponent's 1oo%, forming crushing damage]
【Hit the Critical Hit......】
[Gain the Indomitable 1v1 Bonus ......]
【Instant Judgment Pass Guò......】
[The opponent takes 2oo% damage.] 】
cough, cough......
In the continuous coughing sound, the other party lowered his head to look at the scar on his chest, and stretched out his palm to stop the gushing of donated blood; However, this is clearly useless.
His heart had already been pierced, and he was obviously hopeless.
【xp+1o】
【xp+2o】
Dean's gaze scanned the explanations of the judgments, and then placed them in the experience points column, one before and the other after the two experience points, once again illustrating the difference in strength between the two sides - obviously, the stalker in the shadows. The strength is almost twice as strong as the former, if you just count the skills of stealth and hiding. The other party more than doubled.
Only in this way will the system give experience points that are close to the level of a knight.
Although the other party did not reach it, in the world of thieves, strength is not the factor that determines the final result, even if it is critical.
Skill is what thieves like.
It's not hard to accept that a guy with knight-level strength is killed by a thief who is less than knight-level.
After all, thieves never go head-to-head with you.
【xp:168】
Looking at the final experience value in the experience bar, Dean couldn't help but shrug his shoulders - obviously, the appearance of the 'Brotherhood' had made his previous idea of 'accumulating experience points to improve the skill level' come to naught, and in the face of those elusive assassins, Dean needed not to accumulate, but to improve his strength quickly.
Of course, definitely not here.
After a quick sweep of the battlefield, two single-handed crossbows, as well as the dagger of the hidden stalker, were pocketed by Dean.
【Glitter Dagger】
【Type: Dagger】
[Weight: o.3kg]
[Length: 7 inches in blade length]
[Description: This is a dagger that thieves like very much, and it has been specially treated so that one side is dull and the other side is as bright as a glow; Trust me, you'll have to be pretty skillful to use this dagger, no matter what side it is. 】
[Standard: This is just a demonstration of the skill of skilled craftsmen, so it is not a magic weapon.] 】
Skillfully, turning the dagger in a circle around his fingertips, Dean felt the light weight, and the thin, yet sharp blade.
Suddenly, a strange sense of familiarity appeared in him.
It seems that he is back to the preparations before the assassination again and again.
In a trance, like a phantom.
It's real, it's like the past.
Dean stood there stunned for a moment—as if a greedy man had seen a peerless treasure, the kind of stunned that didn't move—
[Will Judgment ......]
[Gain the Indomitable 1v1 Bonus ......]
【Perceptual judgment pass guò】
[Get rid of ...... from psychic suggestion]
A cold wind blew through Vauban at night, and blew straight on Dean who was standing in the shadows.
With a shudder, Dean came back to his senses - the coldness on his forehead made Dean understand that he must be sweating profusely at this time, and the footsteps of the patrol team in the distance made Dean who had lingering palpitations not think about it at all, and quickly left the place.
Just a dozen seconds later, a whistle signaling an alarm sounded behind Dean.
However, when the patrols in the city are busy. Dean has returned to the Uptown. The Marquis de Vauban arranged a place to live.
Enter your room. Dean took off his cloak and coat.
He raised his hand and touched his chest, which was already wet.
Of course, it couldn't be the fright of those patrolmen, nor the previous fight, which had taken a lot of work, but it was definitely impossible to make him sweat.
Only...... Inexplicable attack before!
The judgment that appeared on the character panel had already shown that in addition to him and the two 'brotherhood' stalkers, there should be one person present.
And. That man had bad intentions towards him!
Thinking of the man who had been hidden until the end, Dean couldn't help but sit there quietly with a gloomy face - Dean knew very well that if it weren't for the will to determine Guò, he would definitely be seen by the patrols of Vauban City, and then he would be caught in a chase.
Even if the patrols didn't cause him much trouble, it seemed difficult for Dean to get rid of them without harming them.
As for taking out those patrols?
At the thought of this, Dean's face darkened. The more gloomy it became.
Because, the guy who hid in the shadows and 'attacked' him. It seemed like he was going to do it—though there was no evidence, but Dean had an instinctive feeling.
Don't follow the enemy's pace until you don't understand what the enemy wants to do.
Dean is very clear about such wise sayings.
Coupled with the other party's 'psychic suggestion', Dean was sure that once he killed those patrols, there would definitely be no good results waiting for him.
"There's another guy...... Who is it? Is it someone from the black market before, or is it another secret outpost of the 'Brotherhood'? Or ......"
Dean sat on his bed, reminiscing about his previous life.
He was sure that the other party was not following him into Uptown.
In order to counter-track, Dean not only wandered and repeated some roads on the road, but also carried out anti-surveillance at the corners of some streets and alleys.
Therefore, Dean can be sure that no one will follow him back to Uptown.
And before that, he could be sure that there should be no one else behind him except for the stalker of the 'Brotherhood' that he didn't have now.
After all, if you want to follow behind three people who are very vigilant and have quite a lot of thief skills, if the other party can do it without being revealed by any of them, then if the other party wants to kill or get Dean in trouble, there is no need for that kind of telepathic suggestion.
Directly, quietly approached, and then, a knife in the heart.
Far simpler and more effective than that kind of psychic suggestion, it is not easy for even wizards to do this, at least a lot of spellcasting materials are required.
Not only precious, but also cumbersome.
And the reason why the other party did not choose a simple and effective way, but chose that cumbersome way, there is only one explanation: the other party does not have the ability to sneak and track them from being revealed.
And with this assumption, the fog of the first layer was cleared by Dean.
The other party was originally there, or, not far away.
I happened to see him fight with two 'Brotherhood' stalkers, and then, ready to get involved.
However, the purpose of the other party's participation puzzled Dean.
First, Dean can be sure that the other party is not from the 'Brotherhood'.
Because, according to the rules of the 'Brotherhood', if someone kills someone from the 'Brotherhood', it is the result of non-death, and no matter what you are, you must kill the other person or be killed by the other party - this is one of the daunting aspects of the 'Brotherhood'.
Even if it's a mysterious spellcaster, it's no exception.
After all, in the 'Brotherhood', the caster is not superior, and if you make a mistake, you will still be dealt with within the 'Brotherhood'.
And judging from the other party's table later, it is obvious that the other party gave up after missing a hit.
It's definitely not 'fraternity' style.
"Does black eat black?"
Dean thought.
The next moment, though, Dean vetoed the idea here.
