|||->->The poisoning incident is a warning. Lin Ke didn't think this would happen only once.
As for the reason, the only conceivable reason is that during the last battle for the magic stone mine, several skilled assassins were lost. Maybe their related friends came to seek revenge. It is also possible that the organization behind them has taken over a deal, and the goal is the lives of their own group. but why? Thinking of this, someone got stuck again.
But he still had to live his life, and Lin didn't believe that the enemy hiding in the dark would only come once and then stop. Although it is very uncomfortable to be trapped in a situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. But now I am at a loss and have no clue, and I can't seem to do anything else. So someone had to tell the two apprentices to focus more on the unusual things around them.
Going out is not as good as being at home. Whether it is the Tower of the Great Sage or the home in the Wulian City Community, complete protective measures have been put in place. Even if you can't deal with these invading enemies, you can still delay it for a while so that you don't die without knowing why.
While camping out, the two girls did not dare to take it lightly because of the danger from nature. After all, nocturnal and hungry beasts cannot tell whether the person in front of them is an easy target.
But don't think that you are safe if you stay in a gathering place with humans. The malice of beasts is easy to detect. Anyone who drools at him will know which beast is more interested in knocking him down and feasting on him. But malice from other people is not necessarily easy to detect. Human disguise and duplicity make humans a greater threat than beasts.
"So, you must be alert and alert to everything." Lin said to the two girls. You Qi also added that their sister is still in her weak period. These words really made the two girls take this matter seriously, even to the point of being a little hysterical. A certain lich who is being protected sometimes feels dumbfounded.
Fen more often looks at someone with a resentful look. What Lin didn't tell the two girls was that among the four people in the group, he was the most likely to become an assassination target. So for others, there is not such an urgent crisis.
This is something that a former demon king who has experienced many intrigues can understand after a little thought. But the two girls didn't know. After being yelled at by their teacher, they believed it to be true.
However, Fen did not point out the reason. She also understood that most people who would do such things would not care about hurting innocent people. If you think you can stay out of the matter, you are too negligent and create an opportunity for those assassins to take advantage of, which will make you even more troubled. So we can only let Halumi and Kaya mess around.
Under the eyes of the grateful owner of the inn, the cook, who was almost killed by a lich if he wasn't grateful, the group of people entered their rooms and prepared to spend the night in this small town. During this period of time, I have been sleeping outdoors. It is rare to find a place with a roof to sleep, so don't abuse yourself too much and have to sleep in the wilderness.
The two girls were huddled in the same room as Fin, citing the need to protect their older sister. Their teacher was squeezed out again and had to live in a room by himself... Well, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this. At least someone couldn't find a reason to sleep in the same room with one of them.
The early spring nights carry a bit of chill left over from winter. Lin washed himself in the hot water prepared by the two girls, sorted out some of the thoughts he had been thinking and scribbling around during the time on the road, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The town is quite quiet at night. Except for the sound of wolves looking up to the sky and howling at the moon from time to time in the forest not far away, no one would be active at night.
But that's the normal situation. This night, the town was not peaceful.
Several groups of people each have their own goals, but there is only one goal. So they can only decide who will go in which wave before taking action. There is no such thing as joint operations. And there is no doubt that in their eyes, the later the wave, the less chance there is. It is really a very simple matter to assassinate a magician who does not live in the magic tower.
A lucky man, under the watchful eyes of others, quietly moved towards the second floor of the hotel. Although everyone agrees that the bounty is distributed, the one who takes the big prize must be the one who actually takes action. Otherwise, who is willing to work hard?
Driven by profit, this lucky killer entered a state of stealth. Walking in the old wooden passage, there was no sound at all.
They had already discovered the room where the target was located, and were sure that there was only one person. This is a good thing, at least you don't have to face the existence that is suspected to be known as His Majesty the Demon King thousands of years ago.
To these habitual thieves, a hotel door lock in a country place is no different. Insert the dagger into the crack of the door, lift it up, and easily lift the door latch.
If a thief who has been in the door for a while, picks up the latch and then withdraws the dagger, the wooden latch inside the door will inevitably fall to the ground, causing a noise and attracting the attention of the people in the room. Only a true expert can push the door open while keeping the wooden latch from falling.
When the crack in the door was open enough for a person to pass through, the assassin immediately dodged and entered the door, while gently dropping the wooden latch behind the door to the ground. Moonlight poured in from the window, keeping the room from being completely dark and allowing people to see clearly that the man on the bed was sleeping soundly.
He hid quietly in the darkness and listened carefully to the sounds around him. After confirming that everything was normal and that he had not attracted any attention, he walked out of the shadows.
The target magician was snoring slightly, completely unaware of the arrival of his evil star. The assassin was very satisfied with all this. Being an assassin and being able to successfully assassinate a magician is definitely a feat that can be accomplished. After this time, my worth should also double; I should get more respect from those wretched old men.
He pulled out a second dagger from his boot, and the blade shone with a strange purple light in the moonlight. This is a poison-quenched magic-breaking dagger, the best weapon for dealing with magicians. Like a cat, with silent steps, the assassin slowly moved himself to the bedside and looked at the sleeping man.
Raising the weapon in an exaggerated manner, stabbing the person on the bed, two or three times if not once, is definitely a novice's approach. The correct method is to strike towards the softest part of the human body, and in order to ensure the target's death, what really depends is the poison on the edge. For a sleeping person, the most suitable place to start is of course the neck. With just one stroke, you can leave calmly.
The assassin's mentality from the beginning to the end cannot be said to be unsteady, and he also maintained enough calm. But the moment before he got it, he couldn't hide his excitement and licked his lips with his tongue. Holding the poison-quenching demon-breaking dagger upside down in his right hand, he moved forward smoothly...
next moment! The furnishings of the hotel room remained the same, but the moonlight disappeared. Instead, in addition to complete darkness, there were also bits of light, like the background of the starry sky. The spot where the assassin originally stood in front of the bed became empty. In this false starry sky, the light blinks and blinks, as if one eye is watching all this.
After a while, the hotel room returned to its original state. The world of Lost World still maintains its tranquility, and Lin is still completely unconscious and sleeping deeply.
This is someone's latest defense system effort. Why would someone attack me while I was sleeping, and I would be woken up sadly? In a state of unconsciousness, I would have to fight with the opponent, and I still couldn't figure out the situation when I just woke up.
Concerns such as not being able to get the spoils and not knowing the opponent's destination were all thrown out of mind. It is very reasonable for a guy who disturbs people's dreams to die without a burial place.
As long as you approach at an abnormal speed, or hold a sharp metal weapon, or there is abnormal energy condensation, air flow, or even the appearance of recorded abnormal substances, that is, the toxin components that Lin has seen and recorded , just cast the interdimensional exile technique directly, without any politeness at all.
This kind of trap design was originally targeted at a problem that you will definitely encounter when camping - mosquitoes. Including, of course, various other insects, those that love nothing more than buzzing next to other people’s ears.
However, considering the two girls who might come to wake him up, and the witch who goes his own way and asks questions whenever he wants, regardless of whether others are asleep or not, Lin's solution is also very simple, which is to set up a whitelist. In other words, except for those three women, anyone else who wants to get close to the sleeping magician has a high chance of being exiled to an unknown different dimension.
Hmm~, do we need to consider hurting innocent people? There is no innocent person who disturbs others' sleep. Therefore, Lin did the related design without any psychological burden.
As a result, the assassins guarding the rooftops in the distance witnessed everything that happened. The actions of the first person to take action were not out of standard. It could be said that he had performed the sneak assassination to the extreme. Moreover, neither the target nor the people around him noticed. But he disappeared without a trace due to the magician's unknown means.
Obviously, this was definitely not done by the fellow striker. Because he ran away before the target was successfully assassinated. What kind of joke was this? If the magician did it, how did he do it? Does that have anything to do with the sudden appearance of little lights in the room? And the most important point is also the doubt that existed when the same thing happened last time - where did the person go?
The assassins hiding everywhere couldn't help but cast their sights on each other. Can the operation continue when the enemy's situation is unclear?
The assassin hiding on the roof opposite the window of Lin's room suddenly got up. Raising the crossbow in his hand, a magic arrow shot out. The swift stream of light dragged out a line of fire, which was a certain assassin's famous weapon - the Flaming Snake Explosive Arrow. Automatic tracking and huge power, many magicians and nobles protected by layers of weapons were hated by this crossbow.
But the arrow only broke the window panel. The dark sky in the room opened and closed again, and things remained the same. All the assassins were speechless and fled as hard as they could, because they saw the lights in the next room turn on. The lich woke up.
