Chapter 211 The Killer in the Shadows (1)
For Berkner's players, their lord is the legendary existence who faced more than a dozen thief assassins above the eighth level and killed nearly four people, and is said to have woken up. Although Xu Fei had already settled the bounty of the players who ran to rescue Chen Kai, he still couldn't stop the players from wanting to pay tribute to Chen Kai, the second-largest player in the combat power ranking list.
However, Chen Kai probably was not in the mood to satisfy these requirements. In fact, the players in Berkner Town are very clear that the alertness of the entire town will definitely increase after their lord is assassinated. But they did not think that the alertness would increase so much. It turned out that the number of guards patrols on the streets was already very high before Chen Kai woke up, but when Chen Kai woke up, the frequency became higher. Especially in the area where the lord's mansion was located, it almost reached the level of sixteen patrol soldiers passing by every hour. That is to say, at least two teams of patrol soldiers would appear around here within five minutes, and then wandered along the road around the entire lord's mansion for about ten minutes.
The lord's mansion, which originally had almost no guards, has now added at least 200 guardians of the indigenous soldiers. In the eyes of most players, the lord's mansion in Berkner Town was originally a manor that only lived in the players, and some players could even go in and visit for ten minutes after paying a small sum of money to a thief. But now they basically have no chance of entering this place, because the six men wearing purple heavy plate armor at the door were not as easy to talk to as the unconventional thief. Not to mention paying money, if you don't have anything to get close to this place, they would be investigated from top to bottom for a long time.
Therefore, the surrounding area of the Lord's Mansion has now become the place that players dislike to stay the most. After all, no one would want to be investigated for a long time every time they pass by. At the same time, the small market originally opened in front of the Lord's Mansion was moved nearly a kilometer away because of some willingness. In the small square in front of the Lord's Mansion, basically no one was willing to approach except the patrol soldiers.
In this case, no one would be in the mood to go to see a half-giant in a bad mood, and of course Chen Kai would not be willing to be admired by people. In fact, he would rather kill all the assassins and then run out quietly to level up. Unfortunately, this idea is just a luxury after all.
"Oh~~~!" Standing on the windowsill of the Lord's Mansion, Chen Kai sighed at the small square that became much cleaner not far away. In order to prevent the assassin from relying on the player's cover as a cover, the original small market was cancelled. So the surrounding area of the Lord's Mansion has become very quiet now. At least in Chen Kai's opinion, this is much quieter than the noisy situation in the past. Because he was worried about assassin assassination, Chen Kai now has no way to go to the Temple of Morning Light, and can only pray in the small holy hall in the Lord's Mansion. Of course, this is actually not much different for players. The players' beliefs are not as pious as the indigenous people, so many indigenous people think that players are in the temple profession to the gods.
In fact, when a few players who speak slandered in office became a temple profession, many indigenous believers even felt that their faith collapsed. Fortunately, after taking office, these players would restrain their profanity, and even began to transform into believers, which made some believers feel a little more depressed in their hearts outside of the majesty of God.
"Oh~~!" Chen Kai sighed again, then slowly pulled the curtains. When he pulled the curtains, his eyes seemed to capture some malicious light. However, when he opened the curtains, he could no longer find any clues.
"It seems that I have been holding it in for too long!" Chen Kai looked at the calendar on the table. It was the seventeenth day after he was assassinated. During these seventeen days, Chen Kai almost didn't leave the lord's mansion. The only thing he could do every day was to deal with things in the territory, then meditate, practice fighting spirit and then eat. It seemed extremely boring, but this was the only life he had been in during this period. Although Su Wan has stopped blaming him recently, she still did not give Chen Kai any good face. This made Chen Kai extremely depressed. After all, Su Wan was very gentle to him.
"But I felt right now that I was right?! How could I not see someone?" Chen Kai lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. Although Chen Kai could not level up because he could not leave the Lord's Mansion, he did not think that he had been holding it for too long and was wrong. In fact, Chen Kai's strength was still growing steadily. He was wearing a weight-bearing armor weighing 200 kilograms all over his body, and he exercised his fighting spirit for at least three hours every day to pray and meditate for three hours. Although weight-bearing exercise did not increase Chen Kai's strength in a short period of time, it gradually adapted to the high-intensity burden of strength. At the same time, the fighting spirit and magic power increased by ten to fifteen points every day, which allowed Chen Kai's fighting spirit and magic value to increase by nearly two hundred points during this period.
Such an increase has already exceeded 5,000 points of Dou Qi, which has exceeded 6,000 points, and is even close to the 7,000 point mark. At this moment, his Dou Qi value has reached 6,730 points, and his magic power has also hit the 5,000 point mark to 5,130 points. However, his level has hardly increased much recently, and his current level is still at level 63. Killing four eighth-level thieves has given him a lot of experience, and he has experience in governing cities, but Chen Kai still has difficulty in upgrading. However, during this period, Chen Kai has indeed practiced a certain magic technique very skilled, that is, the Eye of Stars. Of course, this magic technique has now been upgraded to the Eye of Stars Breaking Delusion.
Although the possibility of seeing through invisibility is very low every time, at least at some point Chen Kai can use this magic to discover a bad thief who sneaked into the Lord's Mansion, and then sweep the other party out with a broom. It can be said that Chen Kai was able to comprehend this magic thanks to the bad thief named Leifu. As an intelligence spy of the thief Guild, this thief named Leifu can be regarded as a regular visitor of the Lord's Mansion. Of course, most of the time he is a character thrown out, and sometimes Chen Kai is so angry that he wants to use his sword to split the other party into more than ten or twenty sections.
Unfortunately, the other party's extremely powerful stealth ability made Chen Kai completely helpless, even if he released Donnie and Xiao Jin to patrol the Lord's Mansion. There were a few times if it wasn't for luck. Chen Kai and the others might not know that this thief would touch the Lord's Mansion to collect information from Chen Kai and the others. Chen Kai had almost no choice about the special intelligence data collector trained by the thief guild like Leifu. Because the other party became very alert after being caught once, and once he was discovered, he would run away immediately. The terrible speed made it very difficult for the group to catch him. In the end, it usually evolved into Chen Kai asking Xue Haifeng and Su Xinghe to lead the brigade of soldiers to run to the thief guild to block the door, but this still could not prevent the thief from sneaking into the lord's Mansion.
But as Chen Kai comprehended the Eye of Stars and Breaking the Devil, the days when the great thief was in the lord's mansion were gone forever. When Chen Kai upgraded the Eye of Stars to the Eye of Stars and Breaking the Eye of Stars, he didn't know what it was. But when he saw a illusory figure, he directly slashed it with a sword, and everyone found that his lord was waving a giant sword and chasing a thief with blood on his butt. This was the first time that the great thief Leifu was chased and driven out of the Lord's Mansion in Berkner Town. Then every time Leifu touched the Lord's Mansion, he would be discovered by Chen Kai. Later, he did not dare to approach the Lord's Mansion. Because every time he was chased with a giant sword, it was not a comfortable memory. So Leifu was quite afraid of Chen Kai, and because of this other party, Chen Kai gradually mastered some special effects of the Eye of Stars and Breaking the Devil.
The original Eye of Stars can also find hidden enemies, but that is the case where the other party is hostile to him and is an evil creature. If there is only hostility, sometimes it is difficult for Chen Kai to discover invisible enemies, especially high-level stalkers like Rayff.
As Chen Kai gradually became proficient, he had discovered assassins hiding around the Lord's Mansion several times, but they usually only appeared for a moment and were rarely exposed to the sun. Therefore, many times after Chen Kai found out, he summoned soldiers to pounce on him, and the assassins had already escaped. At the same time, as the number of these things happened increased, these assassins also understood that Chen Kai might have the ability to break the invisibility or that someone in the Lord's Mansion could break their invisibility. Therefore, they exposed less and less, even if they ran around the Lord's Mansion to check in, they would almost always hide under the cover of the house.
This time the shadow Chen Kai saw was actually an assassin, but unfortunately he only captured a shadow. Although Chen Kai's eyesight was very strong, almost no worse than a low-level archer, and even much more than that, it was difficult for him to capture a flash of shadow in less than a second. Even Zhou Xuan did not dare to say that he could capture the other party's shadow in that moment, because she had not yet mastered the archer's ability to break the stealth. Even if she mastered this ability, it would be impossible to lock a flash of shadow in less than a second.
However, the strictly guarded lord's mansion caused trouble for the assassins who were determined to assassinate Chen Kai. In the game, the assassin is not only a thief. In fact, the assassin is not only a profession but also a position. The former player can complete the transfer through the special advancement of the thief, while the latter just spends some money to join the Assassin Association. Even a farmer with no power to tie a chicken can become an assassin, as long as you can kill people.
Of course, these assassins who were preparing to assassinate Chen Kai were not those farmers. Almost none of them were below the eighth level. If there were so many eighth level strong men in Berkner Town before, Chen Kai would be very happy, but if he knew that there were more people in Berkner Town now, he would have a headache because they were all here to cause trouble for him.
"Encilano! It's all your fault for eating alone. If it weren't for your guy's defense, it wouldn't be so strict!" In a dark basement, more than a dozen assassins were gathering together. The assassin's face looked very ugly, because he was not a thief without the ability to hide his traces. He had been huddling in this stronghold almost after the martial law in Berkner Town.
"Koragu! Don't think that I'm injured and you can despise me!" The thief assassin who covered his chest glared at the warrior who slapped the table at him. The thief assassin named Enchirano was the leader of the thief assassin who assassin Chen Kai for more than ten days. After escaping using the teleportation scroll, he sneaked into Berkner Town again and entered this stronghold to cultivate.
"So what if I despise you? If it weren't for your Enqi Rogue's Group's desire to eat alone, how could it be like this?!" The warrior slapped the table and glared at the other party, but he actually had little thoughts about the warrior named Kolagu. Because if he had wanted to eat alone in that situation, he would have wanted to eat alone. But in his opinion, he would definitely complete the task, instead of not only not completing the task after escaping, but also evolving the matter to an uncontrollable point.
"I eat alone! Have you never eaten alone? Cough cough~~!" The assassin named Enchirano also stood up while slapped the table, but the next moment he began to cough violently. After a cough, a few mouthfuls of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Because Chen Kai's terrifying attack left serious damage to the thief assassin. Although it was not fatal, he had to recuperate for at least half a year after being injured in his lungs.
"Even if I eat alone, I will not become like you! A tuberculosis warrior!" The warrior named Kolagu laughed contemptuously. As for the person he laughed at, there is no need to say. Naturally, Enchirano was coughing so much that he vomited blood.
"I'm so mad!~~" Enchirano, who was ridiculed as a tuberculosis, pulled out a dagger from his waist and planned to give Kolagu a hard, but at this time a pair of pale palms were placed on the table. The table made of iron wood made a crunching sound under the palms, and then shattered instantly.
"Have you made enough trouble?" A voice without any emotion appeared in the ears of the two people. The other assassins who were originally watching the show also instantly calmed down and looked at the master of the palms in fear. Neither Enchirano nor Kolagu had the idea of quarreling, because the master of these palms had the power to kill them instantly.
"Encilano! If this mission fails, your thieves will bear the main responsibility!" A reproachful word slowly spoke from the owner of the pale palms. When he heard this sentence, the thief assassin, who had originally had a pale face because of coughing and vomiting blood, turned even more ugly.
"Master Kep! I can explain! I..." The thief assassin, who was originally very arrogant in front of Kolagu, only had endless panic on his face at this moment. He tried to argue something, but when he saw the face of the Master Kep in his mouth, he immediately shut up.
"Don't question my decision! Nchirano Dikra!" A more gentle word came out of the mouth of Lord Cape, and the body of the thief assassin who heard this sentence began to tremble like a sieve.
"Listen to me! Those who offend the Duke must die. This is the only purpose of the Lord asking you to come here and the only reward you can give to that Lord! If you can't even do this, then there is no need for you to exist!" The man who was called Cape by Enchirano said slowly. However, when his eyes swept across the people in the secret room, almost no one dared to look at him.
"If you complete this mission, the Duke will not be stingy with the reward, but if you fail! I think you should know your ending!" After Lord Cape finished this sentence, he slowly stood up from the chair until he left the room. No one dared to say a word and breathe. It was not until nearly ten minutes after he left the room that the people in the room began to slowly breathe, and soon everyone left the room.
Enchirano and Kolagu were the last to leave the room. Although they were still hostile to each other when they left, when they saw the chair that Lord Kepp sat on was instantly crushed into pieces under a gust of airflow, the fear in their hearts instantly eliminated the hostility between them. They knew that the adult would never lie, and if they could not kill Chen Kai, then it might be really erased from this world.
For Chen Kai, he knew very well that the enemies hidden in the dark had never disappeared, but unfortunately he didn't know where the other party was now. One was in the light and the other was in the dark. Even though Berkner Town was an emerging city, Chen Kai still didn't know how many secrets he didn't know in his territory. This may sound a bit ridiculous, but it is a fact.
Although Chen Kai's territory has not yet developed any evil underground forces that are troublesome, Chen Kai very well understood that perhaps some people have sneaked into his territory without knowing it. Even though Chen Kai very much hopes to operate his territory like an iron barrel, in fact, his territory is just a wooden barrel, and it is a wooden barrel with many sieve loopholes. Just one piece of intelligence, Chen Kai was very disadvantaged. Even though Fei Yun formed a intelligence system belonging to Berkner Town by contacting players, the system was very depressed when it was operated. Most of the information he received was useless and often wasted Chen Kai's money.
However, this time Chen Kai found some strange clues in some of the information submitted by Fei Yun, such as the powdered iron wood debris found in the trash can, such as a handkerchief with blood, etc.
