Chapter 120 The Hidden Part 1

The next moment, without making a sound, Dean faced the darkness like this, and retreated slowly. 【First release】

It took only a split second for the speed to go from slow to fast at the beginning.

Anyone who saw Dean at this moment would not doubt his determination to escape.

The stalker hiding in the dark is no exception—

Whoosh!

The arrow shot out, preventing Dean from continuing to retreat, and then a black shadow jumped out from the darkness, and the cold light reflected from the metal blade aimed at Dean's eyes almost instantly.

Blinding!

Among the thieves' fighting skills, it is a very useful skill.

Very good receipts can often be obtained inadvertently.

This time, it seems to be no exception.

When the light hit his eyes, Dean let out a muffled groan at the first moment, and then, his right hand kept covering his eyes, and the back of his hand kept rubbing, obviously wanting to quickly restore his vision.

For such an opportunity, the hidden stalker will not let it go.

Compared with the aggressiveness before, this time, the opponent was silent, and the special dagger in his hand did not make any sound, just approaching Dean's vest like this.

Not only the voice, but even the murderous intent and murderous intent have also subsided.

A truly excellent assassin will only reveal his killing intent and murderous intent at the last moment, just like the fangs of a poisonous snake.

Undoubtedly, the other party is such an existence.

If there is anything to say, it is that the other party met Dean.

An 'assassin' who is almost familiar with all the actions of the opponent, and even figured out the psychology of the opponent.

A clash of two assassins. One is known, and the other is considered 'known'.

win or lose. There has already been a conclusion.

Whoosh!

The last arrow in the crossbow shot out.

The stalker behind him obviously did not expect such an attack, but at such a close distance, the opponent still made the most effective dodge.

However, the arrow dodged, but the opponent did not dodge Dean's long sword——

【Attack judgment...】

[Gain Indomitable LV1 bonus...]

[The opponent's agility judgment failed, and the dodge failed...]

[One's own strength and opponent's physique are being judged...]

[Gain Indomitable LV1 bonus...]

[Strength +1 (specific value: weapon sharpness) > Constitution +0 (opponent's armor)]

[The judgment of one's own strength is passed. And the strength exceeds 100% of the opponent, causing crushing damage]

【Critical hit determination...】

[Gain Indomitable LV1 bonus...]

[Instant judgment passed...]

[The opponent receives 200% damage. 】

Cough, cough...

Amidst the continuous coughing, the other party lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest, and stretched out his palm to stop the spurt of blood donation; however, it was obviously useless.

His heart had already been pierced, and he was obviously hopeless.

【xp+10】

【xp+20】

Dean glanced at the descriptions of those judgments, and then put them in the column of experience points. The gains of the two experience points, one before the other, once again showed the difference in strength between the two sides—obviously, the stalker in the dark By. His strength is almost double that of the former, if only the sneak and hiding skills are counted. The opponent more than doubled.

Only in this way, the system will give experience points close to knight level.

Although the other party has not achieved it, in the world of thieves, strength is not the factor that determines the final result, even if it is crucial.

Skills are what thieves like.

It's not unacceptable for a guy with knight-level strength to be killed by a thief who is less than knight-level.

After all, rogues never go head-to-head with you.

[xp: 168]

Looking at the final experience value in the experience column, Dean couldn't help shrugging his shoulders—obviously, the appearance of the "Brotherhood" made his previous idea of ​​"collecting all the experience points for improving the skill level" come to naught; Facing those elusive assassins, what Dean needs is not accumulation, but a rapid increase in strength.

Of course, definitely not here.

After quickly cleaning the battlefield, Dean took two single-shot hand crossbows and the dagger of the hidden stalker——

【Flash Dagger】

[Type: Dagger]

【Weight: 0.3kg】

[Length: Blade length 7 inches]

[Description: This is a dagger that thieves like very much. After a special treatment, one side is dull and the other side is bright. Believe me, you must have considerable skills to use this dagger. No matter which side it is, it is the same. 】

[Standard: This is just a manifestation of the skills of skilled craftsmen, so it is not a magic weapon. 】

Skillfully, turning the dagger in a circle on his fingertips, Dean felt the light weight and the thin but sharp blade.

Suddenly, a strange sense of familiarity appeared on him.

It seemed that he had returned to the preparations before the assassinations again and again.

Trance, like a phantom.

True, as in the past.

Dean stood there, stunned for a moment—as if a greedy person saw a peerless treasure, that kind of stunned, motionless—

【Will determination...】

[Gain Indomitable LV1 bonus...]

【Perceptual Judgment Passed】

【Get rid of spiritual hints...】

A cold wind blew through the city of Vauban at night, and blew directly on Dean who was standing in the shadows.

A shiver shivered cleverly, and Dean came back to his senses—the cold feeling 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 was still in fear Without thinking about it at all, he quickly left the place.

But just ten seconds later, a whistle that heralded the alarm came from behind Dean.

However, when the patrols in the downtown area are busy. Dean has returned to being uptown. The residence arranged by the Marquis of Vauban.

Enter into your own room. Dean took off his cloak and coat.

He raised his hand and touched his chest, which was already wet.

Of course, this couldn't be the fright of those patrolling soldiers, nor the previous fight - although the previous fight took a lot of work, it was absolutely impossible to make him sweat profusely.

Only... the inexplicable attack before!

The judgment that appeared on the character panel had already explained that besides him and the two 'Brotherhood' stalkers, there should be another person present.

and. That person has no good intentions for him!

Thinking of the person who had been hiding until the end, Dean couldn't help but sit there quietly with a gloomy face——Dean knew very well that if he hadn't passed the judgment of will, he would definitely be killed by the patrol soldiers of Vauban City. Discovery, then, got caught up in a chase.

Even if the patrols wouldn't cause him any trouble, Dean seemed to have a hard time getting rid of him without hurting him.

As for killing those patrols?

Thinking of this question, Dean had a gloomy face. It became more and more gloomy.

Because, the guy who hid in the dark and 'struck' him. It seemed that he was going to do it - although there was no evidence, Dean had such an instinctive feeling.

Before you understand what the enemy wants to do, don't follow the enemy's pace.

Dean is very clear about such wise words.

Coupled with the other party's "spiritual suggestion", Dean is sure that once he kills those patrolling soldiers, there will never be any good results waiting for him.

"There's another guy... Who is it? Is it someone from the black market before, or another secret sentry from the Brotherhood? Or..."

Dean sat on his bed, recalling everything that happened before.

He can be sure that the other party did not follow him into the upper city.

In order to anti-track, Dean not only wandered and repeated some routes on the road, but also carried out anti-surveillance at the corners of some streets and alleys.

So Dean was sure no one followed him back uptown.

And before that, he was sure that apart from the stalker of the 'Brotherhood' he hadn't found, there should be no one behind him.

After all, if you want to follow three people who are very vigilant and have considerable thieves skills, if the other party can not be discovered by anyone, then the other party wants to kill or cause trouble for Dean in the future. There is no need for a method similar to spiritual suggestion at all.

Directly and quietly approached, and then gave a knife to the back of the heart.

It is far simpler and more effective than that kind of spiritual suggestion, even for wizards, it is not easy to do this, at least it needs a lot of spell-casting materials.

Not only expensive, but also cumbersome.

And the reason why the other party did not choose the simple and effective method, but chose the cumbersome method, there is only one explanation: the other party does not have the ability to sneak and track them without being discovered.

And after having this assumption, the first layer of fog was cleared away by Dean——

The other party was already there, or not far away.

Happened to see him fighting with two Brotherhood stalkers, and then, prepared to participate in it.

However, the purpose of the other party's participation made Dean puzzled.

First of all, Dean can be sure that the other party is not a member of the 'Brotherhood'.

Because, according to the rules of the 'Brotherhood', if someone kills a member of the 'Brotherhood', it will be the result of endless death; no matter what your status is, you must kill the other party, or be killed by the other party-this is' Frats' are a bit daunting.

Even the mysterious caster is no exception.

After all, in the 'Brotherhood', spellcasters are not superior to others. If they make a mistake, they will still be dealt with by the 'Brotherhood'.

Judging from the opponent's performance afterwards, it was obvious that the opponent gave up after missing a hit.

It's definitely not 'fraternity' style.

"Does black eat black?"

Dean thought so.

However, the next moment, Dean rejected this idea right here.
