An indescribable and unprecedented terrifying pressure.
This is an oppressive force that cannot be compared even when faced with the top brass of the Port Willen Shadow Thieves Guild, or even when faced with the attacking ogre.
In front of this blurry black shadow...
For a moment, Heath even had the feeling that the darkness that had blended with him like water in the past was actually isolated from him at this moment, and it felt more like it was about to push him away from the black shadow in front of him.
This feeling...
Especially, what Heiying said before...
Those guys again?
My heart felt more urgent than ever before. Cold sweat was flowing on my vest, and all the hairs on my vest were standing on end.
"Who do you think I could be?"
Barrett put his hands behind his back and walked closer step by step.
His footsteps... Even at this moment, Heath's mind was stretched to the limit, and he still couldn't hear the slightest sound.
The same goes for the sense of presence. If he closed his eyes at this moment... there would be no abnormal feeling in front of him at all!
"Can you let me know for sure?"
"Why on earth are you chasing me?"
As the shadow approached, Heath stretched his body as hard as possible and shrank back towards the wooden box.
However, after shrinking, he still maintained his bowed shape, ready to fight to the death at any time.
At the same time, there was confusion in his voice, and he was even more unwilling to do so as he issued a hoarse accusation to the black shadow.
"It's no use being careful."
"Be obediently..."
Barrett didn't talk nonsense.
Unless he said it, he didn't know anything about this brat and those guys.
He could also see that this kid was talking about being "dead", but the potential ability, which was closely related to the nature of the shadow, was already being prepared.
And he... is also curious enough about this ability.
simply...
Barrett reached out with one hand.
"Xingying!"
Without thinking, Heath put away his little thoughts and instantly activated his ability to escape.
Although... on this ocean, if he activates this ability, he will not be able to return to the shore in the end. He has no certainty.
However, facing the oppressive force of this black shadow, he felt like he couldn't even reach out his dagger, so that was all he could do!
Already ready, "Xingying" was activated in an instant.
Around Heath, the already deep darkness became darker and darker, and his figure also became illusory at the same time, seemingly turning into a shadow and directly blending into the darkness.
Barrett's eyes lit up at this moment.
Innate ability to move shadows!
There is also the ability that I have seen earlier, the ability to hide all life breath and silence all sounds around the body!
At this kid's age... this is obviously not a professional ability!
If it's not a professional ability...
"He was actually born with two supernatural abilities!"
"The ability to escape from the flame explosion is exactly due to the ability of this walking shadow!"
The test was out, and despite the unexpected surprise, Barrett did not slow down because of it.
The kid's figure was blending into the darkness, and his body was instantly turning into a semi-ghost.
The hand that was already extending no longer pretended.
The figure blurred for a moment, and when he reappeared in the material world, he was already holding a neck in his hand.
"The talent is good, but this ability is a bit lacking."
"Little guy, do you want to show your talent to perfection?"
One hand was still clasped behind his back. If it weren't for the darkness here, Barrett would have a somewhat noble temperament at this moment.
While talking, Barrett didn't hold the kid's neck all the time, not caring whether he would run away again. Barrett naturally put this hand behind his back.
Not those guys?
"Walking Shadow" was activated, and he was dragged out...
Heath, who was in shock, was still in shock and doubt.
If this black shadow is really those guys... there is no need to let him go!
so……
His body regained freedom in an instant, his eyes flashed sharply, and he saw the black shadow turning away...
"Meet the teacher!"
Heath also bowed his upper body.
Since it's not those guys, combined with these words, the most likely thing is... the person who likes him!
"It's quite clever."
"Come with me!"
Barrett chuckled and did not deny the name of the brat.
This kind of person is born with two abilities, and both are closely related to the essence of shadow. He should be a perfect candidate for shadow assassin.
Even if he now has the possibility of transforming into a "drow dragon", if he takes two steps back, he at least has the guaranteed choice of "green dragon vein". There is no need to think too much about the life limit for the time being, and there is no need to think about his successor.
However, he is still interested enough in cultivating this kind of genius!
Behind him, Heath's eyes flashed and he quickly followed without much hesitation.
…
In the evening, it was time for dinner.
"successor?"
"Are you thinking about retirement so soon?"
Isaac looked at Heath with interest, and looked at Heath, who had been cleansed cleanly. Although his face was still pale due to seasickness, he looked at the old killer with a half-smile. .
But he didn't expect that while the old guy was observing, he actually observed a student. His words even revealed that he would entrust the Shadow Assassin Group to this kid in the future!
This is interesting!
"His talent is enough to qualify him."
"However, to truly take over my position, only the legendary level can convince others."
"There are still some years left before retirement."
Barrett smiled slightly.
The current shadow assassin group is much more powerful than before.
Especially those shadow assassins who have been given dragon veins. Although their power is not at the legendary level, they are already quite a lot at the second level.
Not to mention, these dragon-veined assassins are also related to more dragon-veined kobolds.
After half a day of contact, although he was extremely optimistic about the kid, it was still too early for him to truly take over the Shadow Assassin Group!
After saying that, Barrett glanced at the kid again and said, "Come here to pay homage to your lord. And for him, you can call him 'Uncle Beasley'."
One is "adult", and he didn't even mention his name.
The other is "uncle"...
Heath suddenly had a reaction in his heart. Is his unfathomable teacher just a follower of this "adult"?
No matter what, I didn't dare to neglect it.
Heath stepped forward in response, bowed respectfully and said, "Heath has met your Excellency and Uncle Beasley. He has never been taught by anyone before. He just learned under the teacher. If there is anything he doesn't do well, If it offends you, please forgive me. I definitely didn’t mean it..."
Having grown up on the streets, Heath didn't think about raising his head when it was time to lower his head.
Even his teacher must be respectful, but now he has no right to be arrogant.
Isaac nodded with a slight smile, and in the depths of his eyes, another star-like light shone.
Seeing this, Beasley on the side also smiled and said: "It's easy to say. If I can make Mr. Barrett's disciples call me 'uncle', we will have more contact in the future. I am also curious, can Mr. Barrett call me 'uncle'?" During this journey, I can’t wait to be accepted as my disciple… What kind of talent is this?”
As a close confidant of Isaac, Beasley had enough eyes to ask questions on Isaac's behalf.
Of course, he himself had the same curiosity.
Barrett's successor is still so sudden...
How much potential does this kid have?
"He came from Willen. He sneaked up here."
"The target of the 'Chain Advanced Explosive Rune Technique' that day was him!"
"Having a natural fit with the nature of shadow, his talent is perfectly consistent with that of the Shadow Assassin."
Barrett doesn't hide anything.
And with this information, he believed that even if Heath had something to hide, Beasley's Kingdom Security Bureau would be able to find out everything about him.
"Well……"
For a moment, even Isaac's eyes clearly flashed with strange color.
It was actually the target of that advanced spell that day?
The most important thing is that he got away!
Plus the "Perfect Shadow Assassin"...
In the depths of his eyes, a bright light flashed, and Isaac's thoughts unfolded silently.
There is indeed some connection to the nature of shadows.
The inner thoughts are dark but deeply observed.
Vaguely, where this kid is, the shadows actually have the charm of multiple layers. Some of the layers reveal strands of depth, as if they have penetrated directly into the real shadow world.
However, the essence of all shadows did not corrode his body. At least at this moment, there was almost no smell of shadows or negative energy in his body.
so……
"The root should be the soul?"
With a slight movement in his heart, Isaac looked at Heath's eyes.
For an instant, the figure of this kid seemed to be completely reflected in his pupils.
The very next moment...
Slightly, his eyes narrowed!
"This smell..."
"interesting!"
The thoughts in his mind were withdrawn, and the strange color in his eyes naturally turned into a faint smile.
Isaac nodded slightly, with a look of approval, and said: "Since I am your disciple, I am one of my own. Our people cannot be bullied in vain. Let people find out the details of those people!"
The first two sentences were said to Barrett and Heath.
In the latter sentence, his eyes looked at Beasley.
Beasley accepted the order and nodded: "When we get to Baldur's Gate, I will arrange for the spies there to arrange this matter."
Heath also had eyes on him and quickly thanked him.
Without staying here too long, after dinner, Isaac went back to his room, and Beasley and the other three also left immediately.
And inside the room.
"Is He a backup plan?"
A strange color flashed in Isaac's eyes.
Just now, the mind and will penetrated deeply for a moment, from the kid's eyes, and then connected to his soul, there was a faint... trace of a familiar flavor from a long time ago!
However, it is only familiar. Compared with the smell back then, it is still quite different!
"The God of Conspiracy!"
The God of Conspiracy. In his early years, when he first entered the Rift Mountains and started to deal with the Tethyrs, the Noah envoy, the Melamat devil incident... he smelled this smell in more than one person. .
And later, during those turbulent times...
The God of Conspiracy was completely defeated!
The place where it fell also caused eternal death pollution.
Moreover, the near-annihilation disaster of the Shadow Thieves of Amn is also related to Him.
But now, there is a certain aura coming out of this kid's soul...
"The way back?"
"As the great Dragon Father said back then, the 'Son of Fear' plan of the 'God of Killing and Fear' is also for the future return?"
It's not impossible!
The gods should not have been so completely defeated!
Even that guy Shanar can be resurrected twice in a row, not to mention the wisdom of the gods, how can he not have some backup plans?
And judging from the kid's age, it's obvious that the arrangements for this "son of conspiracy" were completed before the turmoil came!
"The son of conspiracy..."
"There won't be just one!"
"How to do it?"
In my heart, I pondered.
But for a while, it was difficult to make a complete decision.
More... Now that we have this person, will there be more?
like……
"Is it possible for the one in the Valley of Lost Glory... The chance should be even smaller. After all, he is facing that lady!"
"Girkin's words..."
His brows furrowed slightly.
As for whether the Dragon Queen is as reliable as the Lady of the Night... I have only heard rumors and don't have much personal experience. Isaac can't be too sure at the moment.
If Girkin has another reincarnation, some hidden sacred weapon, or something else...
"Pay attention first!"
“But there’s no need for too much awe!”
"The nature of the world changes and they cannot come in their true form or incarnation. Even if they can complete the restoration of their godhead and priesthood, at that time, only in this material world, I may not let them!"
The thought moved like this.
Isaac's undecidable gaze also settled down.
Since he is in this material world, he does not need to fear them.
Then, if there is an opportunity to take the opportunity to conduct some research on them, you can be prepared.
"Let's take this little guy as the first target and observe it first!"
"With him, maybe we can find other people further!"
"In addition, it is necessary to pay a certain amount of attention to the Shadow Giant and the Father of Victory to see if they also have plans to return!"
Just this way...
After pressing his forehead, Isaac also felt a little dizzy.
There is already enough research in hand, and even the "Knights of the Shield" and some preparations for Tethyr have never been fully launched.
All of a sudden, a bunch of important things came up...
He is really born to work hard!
"So...the 'other and me' subject must be prepared as soon as possible!"
"This trip to the Northland, if we can successfully complete the research breakthrough of 'Drow Dragon', we will also officially include the 'Other and Me' subject on the research list!"
…
One day later the passenger ship stopped briefly at Ascotra.
Some passengers getting on and off.
Soon, it continued northbound again.
Three or four days later.
The second stop of the trip to the Northland, the most prosperous city-state in the Sword Coast region has arrived.
