Dark Shadow Shrine

Chapter 8 Doubt and Ignition



Punk regretted it, really regretted it. If time went back to yesterday, he would not have provoked the brothers and sisters if he was killed. Unfortunately, no amount of regret could stop his life from passing.

Suddenly Punk felt another pain, and Raven cut off his right index finger fiercely - this is the custom in treating thieves on the mainland, the first offender cuts off the right index finger, and the second offender directly chops off the right hand.

After Punk's body stopped convulsing, Raven gently lowered Punk's huge body.

Lei Wen's mood is very complicated at the moment, everything is so familiar, all touches and movements are almost the same as the 100% realistic World of Ultron game.

In fact, this was his first real murder.

There was no panic, no discomfort, and no uncomfortable nausea as imagined. Instead, there was a sense of joy mixed with ecstasy.

right! Do it yourself, it is no longer cold data, no longer a fake corpse that will disappear in a while, but a real person.

Thinking of this, I felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in my heart.

Is it because the assassin instinct left over from the previous life has affected Raven's soul? Or is Raven really integrated into this world?

Raven didn't know.

After the assassination, he habitually began to touch the corpse. Raven accidentally took out a piece of paper in the innermost part of Punk's pocket. The above things made Lei Wen completely unable to calm down.

It was his portrait, with his name and detailed experience on it.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Wen instantly realized that this was not a bloody case caused by casually molesting a girl. It was a premeditated murder against him!

What shocked Lei Wen even more was that this was not a portrait copied by an artist like the Assassin Organization, but a high-end product that was directly rubbed from the image seen with the prophecy.

Who is so generous! ? Using divination to track down a person with such a clear understanding will definitely cost no less than 10,000 gold coins!

What shocking secret do you have in your body that deserves such a big price from your opponent? Lei Wen repeatedly recalled the experience of this body. It was obviously a very ordinary civilian family who made a living by hunting and farming. I really don't know why my head is so valuable.

Inexplicably, Lei Wen shuddered. For some reason, Lei Wen suddenly thought of the sharp eyes of those forest servants and goblins before entering the city, and thought to himself: If there is really a mastermind behind the scenes using the forest servants and the Black Eclipse Church to serially hunt down I... that's really... too exaggerated?

Which giant is attacking him behind the scenes! ?

Or is it involved in which plot of the game?

Raven is very distressed, there are definitely a lot of big events that happened in the early stages of the game. Every Lei Wen can almost recite an exact number, but the current situation is that Lei Wen's information is seriously insufficient, and he cannot classify himself into any known plot.

Raven continued to touch the corpse in a mess.

No other valuable information. On the contrary, the poverty of this savage made Raven curse inwardly.

A dignified core fanatic of the church actually only has one silver coin in his whole body. No wonder the black eclipse cultists in my memory like to rape women everywhere... because women don't want money!

In addition, the only harvest is a blank ax and a blank dagger produced by the blacksmith.

The ax was directly lost by Lei Wen. It was worthless and had a mark on it.

Dagger properties...

Damage: 1-3 points

Durability: 4/11

Seeing this dagger, Raven wanted to die.

Well, it can be used for Karin's self-defense later, or it can be used as a throwing knife no matter how bad it is.

After touching the corpse and printing a bunch of footprints of short boots, after erasing his own traces at the scene, Lei Wen left the scene as quickly as possible.

Reaching a safe place, Raven took a deep breath and inspected his gains.

The system sent out a reminder just now, and Lei Wen only had the time to look at it now.

Backstab activated.

Successful backstab! Damage × 2. Hit the opponent's vital point. The backstab is changed to a fatal attack. A total of 34 points of damage are caused to the target.

The target is dying! Lose 20 points of life per minute due to bloodletting.

...

Target dead!

Extract the target's soul energy! Since the target's challenge level is level 4, which is 3 levels higher than my own, an additional reward of 200 killing experience points...a total of 300 killing experience points will be obtained.

If there wasn't that portrait, Lei Wen would probably laugh until his mouth crooked when he saw this hint.

Under normal circumstances, only in a team can you challenge an enemy whose challenge level is 2 higher than your own. Now relying on the sneak attack and the thorn of the obsidian, he has accomplished the feat of leapfrog killing, and the reward is of course extremely rich.

And the killing experience that can only be obtained by fighting and killing is the highest level of experience, which can be used to assign to all occupations, part-time jobs, and job transfer templates!

Considering the existence of the black hand behind the scenes, Lei Wen urgently needs to improve his combat effectiveness, so he chooses to become an assassin immediately.

In the world of Ultron, inauguration is also very interesting. Employment in each occupation can be said to be completely different. For example, paladins, they are devout warriors, as long as their hearts are filled with justice and light, they will receive the call of the good gods, as long as they respond in their hearts, then at that moment they are already paladins.

Serving a certain temple after the fact is just a supplementary ritual after the fact.

The official inauguration of an Assassin generally requires the approval of an Assassin's Guild.

In fact, as long as you meet the requirements, you can also take up the job on your own, but there will be an assassin badge that adds 1 point to the agility attribute.

Considering that having an Assassin badge would expose him to the eyes of Cyric's priests, Raven still chose Yeluzi's inauguration.

To become an assassin, you must meet several requirements: any evil alignment, 4 ranks in Disguise, 8 ranks in Hide, 8 ranks in Stealth, and the ability to kill just to become an Assassin.

The last point is actually a psychological judgment. Of course, Lei Wen, who has lived in two lives, is fine.

With a ding, the (unemployed) on the system properties panel disappeared.

He resolutely added all his killing experience to the assassin profession, and the profession level was immediately raised to level 3. If Raven is a rogue in the basic eight occupations, these experiences are enough for him to rise to level 5 or 6. Because Lei Wen was working for a Bronze-rank profession——Assassin, while acquiring powerful skills, the penalty for experience points was also quite severe.

With the upgrade, Raven gets 1 free attribute point and 24 professional skill points. As an assassin, agility is the main item. Before getting 20 points of agility to get the special bonus of basic attributes, Lei Wen didn't plan to use the attribute points for other places.

Considering that he might be hunted down next, Raven added skill points to stealth and hiding. In addition, because of the successful defeat of Punk, sneak attacks and fatal attacks have increased slightly.

In this way, Raven's properties become:

Name: Raven.

Race: Half-elf/??.

Occupational Skills - Stealth 40, Disguise 24, Hide 33, Bluff 12, Sneak Attack 11, Deadly Attack 13...

Legendary skill - mad letter [seal].

Racial Skill - Darkvision

Personal Expertise - Stealth, Persuader, Knowledgeable Memories.

Personal Skill - Self Stability [Legendary]

After adding the points, I added a sense of familiarity to each skill in my mind, especially in terms of agility, and the whole person felt a little lighter.

After closing the attribute table, a cruel smile curled up from the corner of Raven's mouth.

Disguised again to return to the middle-aged rogue, Raven went to the Adventurer's Guild to hand in the task.

The person responsible for the checking task is an old man.

Don't look at him with sleepy eyes and a sleepy look. The master or part-timer who can sit in this seat must be the priest of Savras (God of Prophecy), and all of them will not be weak in prophecy.

Prophecy is a very disgusting spell in the game, as long as you ask the priest of Sufras with clues, the priest can easily give a clear direction or judge the authenticity of someone's words through prophecy. In the state of casting divine spells, what the priest said is absolutely true. In many cases, this is an almost open perspective.

It's March, two months before the clerics of Savras lose their prophecies in game history. In fact, due to the coming of the turbulent year, the prophecies of the priests under Savras' command are already a bit inaccurate, only the general direction is still reliable.

I'll hand in mission 9527. Raven handed Punk's finger.

The old man glanced at Raven and didn't look any more. Bounty offerings for catching thieves are not popular, and only rookie rogues would accept such reward tasks.

The old man calmly used Savras' magic to compare intelligence and fingers. Of course, since it was a low-level task like catching thieves, the old man wouldn't bother to use the high-level true seeing technique, which could maximize the knowledge of all kinds of information. He used a simple, true-to-false truism test.

High-level magic not only consumes a lot of mental power, but also has a daily limit. In fact, it is not because the high reward will bring a lot of money to the guild. The old man can't even use identification. The old man quickly got an affirmative answer.

There are ghosts only if there are mistakes! The acid that Raven used to water the wall was definitely made by Punk.

The person is right. There is one more thing on the bounty. Did you find it?

Raven grinned: I won't make trouble with gold coins.

For anyone, gold coins are absolutely as many as they have. If you can exchange a piece of broken colored glaze for gold coins, Lei Wen would never mind returning it to the original owner. It's a pity that Lei Wen took the god-level dagger from the black iron steps! Back then in the game, 100 gold coins had a price but no market.

The old man was also used to the greedy character of wanderers, so he didn't care too much, and asked, Did you kill him?

At least he was still struggling agitatedly when I cut off his finger.

right! Just dying.

Raven once again passed the divine divination check.

There is a real difference between a finger cut from a dead person and a finger cut from a living person. The magic check is also completely different.

The old man's thinking was led into a misunderstanding by Lei Wen.

Adventurers are willing to get eight cents of the money for eight cents of effort. If the reward is for the head, it is definitely another price tag. No one wants to do more. If the target is really missed, the adventurer is most likely to choose to run away instead of calmly receiving such a small bounty.

Moreover, adventurers are famous for killing or burying, as long as they don't kill them at the time, it's not his business to die afterwards. Anyway, people die every day in the city of wealth, who would have thought that the so-called thief is actually a baby fanatic of [Black Eclipse]?

In this way, Raven left the Adventurers Guild calmly.

fire! Already lit!
