Mysteries: Arcana Wars

After putting away Manstein's notebook, the three of them still had some money left to go shopping. Today they had plenty of time, so they could stay here for a while longer to see if they could find a suitable extraordinary item.

【5627】Long-term bounty: assassination mission, generous reward, interested parties can chat privately.

This message appeared on the public screen again.

Perhaps it was the success in identifying fake news last time that gave Fors the courage. After thinking for a moment, she spoke and pointed to the duplicate message.

"For some reason, I'm very concerned about this news... In the dungeon and in the black market, are all assassin missions so aboveboard?"

"In the black market, there are specialized organizations that organize platforms that focus on murder on the dark web, such as the [Death List] we heard about last time. However, there are also many such murder rewards on the black market. From a legal perspective, Beyonder gatherings are also a type of black market, so this is normal."

The detective explained.

Leonard introduced the [Death List] killing platform to Fors in a serious manner, but those strange killing missions popped up in his mind involuntarily. This made him a little skeptical about the killing bounty. In a "Beyond Gathering" of the level of Cotton Alley, can he really receive a serious assassination mission? Aren't you afraid that it's another new type of scam?

Of course, Leonard was certain that Klein would not care about this. As long as the mission target was appropriate and met his professional ethics, he would not go against the bounty.

Out of respect for their spiritual intuition, the detective and the adventurer both agreed to learn about the killer's mission, and if possible, they didn't mind making some extra money on the trip.

[2554]: Hello, we would like to understand the mission objectives before deciding whether to accept the commission.

The three of them sent a private message to the client and waited for a long time before getting a reply.

【5627】: Twenty gold coins.

【2554】：？ What do you mean?

[5627]: Depending on the mission objective, the highest reward you can get is gold coins, but you must first pay gold coins to understand the mission content.

? Is there such an operation?

“Uh…are you sure this isn’t a scam?” Fors was now avoiding scams.

"Maybe it's just some sensitive tasks, to dissuade those who are just here to gather information but not to take orders." The adventurer replied, "The guests of this exchange are mixed, so setting a threshold means 'no disturbance by idle people', to reduce unnecessary communication and trouble."

It seems that this employer takes his mission objectives very seriously and does not want irrelevant people to know his plans and goals, or in other words, he does not want others to easily know who is on his assassination list.

No, if you are afraid that others will come to find out the information, you should not post the murder commission in a place like this.

On the surface, he explained calmly, but in fact, Klein silently complained in his heart, and decided to use 20 gold coins to give this client a little shock as an intelligence spy. Even if he didn't accept this assassination commission, he would just treat it as buying a piece of information with 20 gold coins.

[5627]: Do you dare to assassinate people from the Abraham Group?

【2554】：It depends on who is in the group and whether he belongs to the family of Abraham.

【5627】: There should be several technicians on my list, who should not belong to the Abraham family. Two of them are low-sequence Beyonders. If you are confident in your ability, I have a mission target who is a senior executive of the Abraham Group. The bounty is gold coins.

...20,000 gold coins...

You jumped from 200 gold coins to 20,000 gold coins in an instant. That's too big a jump!

Who is this big shot? How could he be worth so much money? Can a bounty be posted here for an assassination mission of this level? ?

Twenty thousand gold coins! If inflation is not taken into account, it would be worth two Danitz in the fourteenth century of the Fifth Epoch! !

Klein complained in his mind.

From low-level ordinary people to high-level executives, this assassination list is very extensive. It seems that someone is determined to cause trouble for the Abraham Group.

[5627]: Of course, if you don’t feel confident, there is another target on my list who does not belong to the Abraham Group. He is just an ordinary person and has been added to the list. The reward is gold coins.

[5627]: But if you can bring her back alive, the reward will be one thousand gold coins. It's a very simple and convenient deal.

Very strange request.

But when comparing 20,000 gold coins to 1,000 gold coins, Klein would definitely choose to first ask who the unlucky guy with 20,000 gold coins is.

[2554]: What's the situation with the gold coins?

[5627]: This is a senior executive of the group, a family member, an extraordinary person, his name is yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

As this message appeared, the screen suddenly started to distort. Then the screen went black and thick black smoke quickly overflowed.

In a moment, a spiritual warning struck everyone's mind, and the adventurer and the detective pounced on Fors at the same time.

"careful!"

"Bang!!"

The monitor shattered!

But this is just the beginning.

A huge tremor came from the building, shaking the ground. In the distance, there was a faint muffled sound, rumbling in Fors' ears through the thick soundproof wall and the spiritual wall. But before she could get up, the huge ancient trading machine that occupied an entire wall suddenly shattered, and fell into the depths with a terrifying loud noise, and the shock wave threw the three people against the wall.

Amid the flying dust, Fors saw the dark entrance of the cave, and she realized what had happened in this underground city.

Suddenly one side of the tightly guarded room was missing, and the sound of a huge explosion reached the ears of the three people unimpeded. A huge fireball climbed up the ancient and sophisticated electromagnetic track with a flash, roaring and breaking these crystals of human technology.

Fors felt like he was back in the afternoon when the missiles dropped from the sky.

She thought she had gotten over that day, gotten rid of that fear and anxiety, and accepted this erratic and dangerous setting. But when the huge machine collapsed, Fors couldn't help but feel weak in the knees. The scene in front of her was even more terrifying than the apartment that exploded that day. She could hear people roaring and screaming from the hole, and even felt someone breaking into the next room and stabbing someone in the chest with a sharp weapon.

Pain and despair, along with flames and screams, licked Fors's face.

【disaster】.

This word jumped into Fors's mind.

If that day was an "accident" with missiles flying everywhere, then what was happening before us was a "disaster" that was determined to engulf the entire underground city.

The electromagnetic rails that were originally fast, efficient, and full of technological beauty were now falling apart amidst the sparks. Some red shadows shouted and jumped into the bottomless rail pit, and then clusters of brilliant flames rose in the underground city. Some people were crying, some were howling, and some were even cheering and celebrating this explosion that dragged everyone into hell.

"The Cotton Alley Exchange has been attacked!"
