Chapter 361

When a mercenary receives a mission, he must first complete the mission at hand before he can accept the commission of the mission target.

For example, a mercenary is commissioned to demolish a person's house. He succeeds, and then the person whose house is demolished finds the mercenary and pays the mercenary to demolish the house of the person who instigated him. The mercenary can do this at this time.

If a mercenary is commissioned to kill someone, before the person is killed, no matter how much he offers, the mercenary must complete the mission first, otherwise he will be spurned by the entire industry and will not be accepted.

As for evidence?

Mudrick did not keep the contract because of personal preference, but to prevent one of the mercenaries and the buyer from defaulting on the debt, so there is such a thing as a contract.

If the mercenary defaults on the debt and takes the money but does not do the job, the buyer can completely publicize the contract and let the mercenary's reputation be ruined.

If the buyer pays the deposit and the mercenary does not pay the balance after completing the mission, the mercenary can also publicize the contract and let the buyer's reputation be ruined.

"Of course I understand, but aren't mercenaries also profit-driven?" Mudrick said with a forced smile.

"But I'm not a proper mercenary." Lion said so, swinging his sword again, forcing Mudrick to the side of a tree.

"Yeah, you're not." Mudrick said so, hiding behind a book.

Lion did not rush to chase him, after all, there was a possibility that Mudrick might sneak attack her from behind the tree, so she directly kicked the tree with brute force, leaving Mudrick without cover.

"Tsk..." Mudrick made an unhappy sound.

He must be unhappy that his plan was seen through.

Then, he turned around and prepared to escape to the woods.

"Do you want to hide in the woods?" Lion said so, speeding up to catch up.

At this time, Lit also activated magic, releasing a fireball in front of Mudrick, blocking Mudrick's escape route.

Although it was only a fourth-level fireball, Mudrick still had to take time to clean it up. If he rushed through the fireball rashly, it would only slow him down.

"Tsk, annoying bugs!" Mudrick said so, and could only turn around and face the lion rushing over.

The lion slashed with a sword, and the huge force made Mudrick retreat several steps in succession.

Then, the two of them started fighting in the woods. Most of the time, Mudrick retreated and fought back, while the lion took the initiative to chase

to prevent Mudrick from escaping through the terrain of the woods.

At this time, the two had been fighting for several minutes. Litt looked at the time and signaled Virgil to start.

Virgil nodded, then came to the mercenaries with a sword.

...

On the other side, Orson also left the Imperial College this morning. He quietly came to the woods where Litt and Mudrick agreed to fight and hid.

Then, he found something wrong.

In a place he had obviously never been to, he saw that there were dead leaves that were embedded in the soil and several broken twigs on the ground.

Orson's heart was alerted in an instant.

Then, he followed the direction of the dead leaves and branches, concealing his breath and quietly slipped over.

The farther he walked, the more Orson felt something was wrong.

"I wanted to catch a small fish, but I didn't expect a big fish to take the bait." At this time, a sinister voice came from the big tree next to him.

"Mr. Orson, it doesn't seem safe to appear here at this time, right?"

Orson looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man standing on a branch looking at him.

His body was wrapped in black clothes and he also wore a black mask on his face.

Orson looked at the other person's outfit and laughed for some reason.

The other party was also a little confused by Orson's trick, and then looked at Orson and asked fiercely: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you like a mentally retarded person. In broad daylight, wearing night clothes, you are afraid that others will not recognize your identity, right?"

"..." The man in black looked at Orson, and for some reason, he felt that it seemed to make sense.

But after being ridiculed by Orson, he was still very angry. Then, he took out a dagger and pointed it at Orson.

"Since you can see it, you should know what I am here for!"

As he said this, he jumped down and stood in front of Orson.

"Seventh level, right?" Orson said this and looked at the other party.

"It seems that you have some sense."

"You are sent to assassinate me?" Orson asked in a deep voice.

"You can say that." The assassin nodded. "Someone asked me to buy your and Lit's lives."

The reason why he appeared in front of Orson so swaggeringly at this moment was, of course, because he was very sure of dealing with Orson.

You know, only Litt, Marvin and Triss, the president of the Adventurers Association of Antica City, knew that Orson's strength had reached the seventh level. Orson did not tell anyone else.

And these three people did not make it public, so others thought that Orson was still at the sixth level as a year ago.

After all, from the sixth level to the seventh level is a huge leap. The first genius of the empire, Prince Arthas, spent two or three years in the Imperial Academy to advance to the seventh level with the blessing of various natural treasures.

Orson does not have as many resources as Arthas. Although his talent is indeed better, the speed of his strength improvement should not be faster than that of Prince Arthas.

Therefore, when arranging this assassination mission, the other party deliberately chose a seventh-level assassin to do it.

As for the eighth-level assassin, the empire is not without it, but this kind of master-level assassin rarely accepts the mission, and the funds required are also sky-high.

The client thought that there was no point in using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, and he didn't have the money to buy a butcher knife, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

In short, as long as the mission can be completed, it's fine.

"So, before you die, can you tell me who wants to kill me?" Orson said so, asking sincerely.

"Heh, want to get some words?" The assassin smiled, "Don't take me for a fool."

Then, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Mist Hiding Technique?

The so-called Mist Hiding Technique is the skill that the assassin profession relies on for survival.

By creating a gas with a hallucinogenic effect, the enemy can't see his figure.

This technique is simply a big killer when facing people who are much weaker than oneself. It can kill the enemy invisibly, which is quite terrifying.

However, when facing someone with the same strength as himself, the assassin can only reduce the frequency of his activities to achieve the effect of hiding.

If he is ready to launch an attack at this moment, or gets too close to someone, he will definitely be discovered.

Of course, this does not mean that this trick has lost its effect. After all, it is the assassin's skill to make a living. At this moment, when facing an enemy of the same level, he can

reduce the intensity of his activities and suddenly launch an attack in a new place while the enemy does not know him.

The main point is to take the enemy by surprise.

Orson frowned, and then, with himself as the center, he continued to use magic to detect whether there were any signs of activity.

Then, he really locked on a breath.

As a mage, he is very restrained by the current fog hiding technique. After all, this is also a kind of magic. The assassin will consume his magic when releasing the fog hiding technique.

As long as it is a mage of the same level, the assassin's position can be locked by the magic released by the assassin.

But in the same way, if the assassin is more capable of facing the mage, the mage's disadvantageous attributes in melee combat will be revealed. In this case, the assassin can basically declare victory in the battle as long as he closes the distance.

However, the opponent seemed to have forgotten that although Orson often used swordsmanship in battle, he was evaluated by the Adventurer Association as a dual practitioner of physical and magic skills, and was at the same level as a warrior and a mage.

Orson just didn't encounter anyone who needed him to use both warrior and mage skills at the same time during the battle.

Then, after locking the assassin's position, Orson stabbed out with a sword.

The assassin was about to look for Orson's flaw, but he didn't expect Orson to find his position. Although the assassin's main focus was agility, Orson's sudden attack caught him off guard and he had no time to dodge. He could only hold the dagger in front of his chest to block the stabbing long sword.

Then, the huge force made the assassin's body fly backwards.

He was not good at strength, but Orson's strength gave him a bad premonition.

He hit the tree and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You..." The assassin looked at Orson with a surprised look.

"Are you curious? Why? Right?"

"I'm just a level 6, why can I hit you so far with just one blow?"

"Because I'm already level 7." Orson said so.

The assassin's heart fell into an ice cave.

He had been pretending for so long, but Orson slapped him back and almost crippled him.

The assassin wiped the corner of his mouth and then used the Mist Hidden Technique again.

However, this time he didn't want to attack, but saw that the situation was not right and prepared to escape.

He couldn't beat the level 7 Orson at all.

In order to pretend, he lost the opportunity to sneak attack, and was injured by the opponent's sudden attack just now. At this moment, he had no choice but to escape.

Even the assassin suspected that even Orson's flaws in front of him before were deliberately luring him into the trap.

Thinking of this, he quickly used magic to design several "clones" in the Mist Hidden Art.

As mentioned before, the mage can locate the assassin's position through the magic emitted from the Mist Hidden Art. For this, the assassin, of course, made a countermeasure, which is to use magic to create "clones" with similar magic reactions to his own in several specific locations, or "dummy".

In this way, whether attacking or escaping, causing interference to the opponent will be beneficial to his next action.

But Orson was not disturbed. He closed his eyes and carefully felt the difference between each magic. Then, he opened his eyes and released a magic to the right front.

I saw countless vines suddenly appear on the ground, winding towards one place.

After a few seconds, the Mist Hidden Art was lifted, and the assassin appeared in the place where the vines were entangled.

Now, his limbs are imprisoned, and only his head is exposed.

Orson smiled and walked in front of the assassin.

"Now, can you tell me who sent you here?"

Chapter 99: Trump Card (2K)

"Tsk..." The assassin turned his head away and ignored Orson.

"Don't think you can get anything out of me..."

"Then don't blame me..." Orson said this and was about to take action. Suddenly, he felt the ground shaking violently.

"What's going on?" As he said this, Orson looked towards the direction where the vibration came from, and then his eyes widened.

…

On the other side, Mudrick is resisting the lion's attack. Due to the interference of Leeteuk and Virgil, Mudrick cannot use all his strength to fight against the lion. In addition, his strength is not as good as that of the lion. Therefore, his physical strength is gradually exhausted. .

Facing the siege of justice, he had a faint tendency to lose.

"Tsk..." Right

When he was distracted and dodged the lion's blow, his arm was scratched by Virgil's sword.

Mudrick was filled with anger, and then punched Vergil back. He used all his strength to punch Virgil. Virgil was not prepared for it, and he received such a strong blow that he was hit directly into a tree. .

Lite looked at Virgil with worried eyes, but the latter just shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then continued to stand up.

Although Virgil could still stand up, he obviously couldn't continue to interfere with Mudrick like he just did.

This is the difference between the sixth level and the seventh level.

Mudrick's blow also exposed his back to the lion. As a fierce warrior, the lion certainly did not miss this opportunity. She slashed Mudrick's back with her sword.

This sword directly cut open Mudrick's clothes, leaving a deep wound on his back.

After slashing out with the sword, the lion was actually a little dissatisfied.

Because she had just cut it crookedly, if it had been straighter and hit Mudrick's spine, he might have lost his fighting power.

Even so, this blow also severely damaged Mudrick's vitality. He rolled forward in pain, widening the distance from the lion, and then turned back to stare at the lion.
