Mercenaries and Adventurers

Kiel raised his leg and kicked open the narrow door. The passage behind the door was extremely narrow, and he had to turn sideways while wearing armor to walk normally in the passage. Keir originally thought of cleaning up the entire house starting from the mechanism room under the house, killing gang thugs who resisted stubbornly, and uniforming and binding up those who were easy to take down.

But he didn't expect that starting from the underground of the back door house, the Yisi Knife Gang dug a large underground structure underground in their lair.

A few steps to the end of the narrow passage, there is a turn, and at this turn is facing a thick wooden door with an iron ring.

Keel thought that he would have to find a key to open the door, but he stretched out his hand and pushed it, only to find that the thick wooden door was not locked or closed.

As he pushed the door open, Kiel readied himself for a fight, but there was no one inside. He raised the oil lamp in his left hand to examine it carefully, only to find that it seemed to be an equipment warehouse, with a row of wooden poles leaning against the wall, a lot of iron gun heads in the opened wooden box, and a gun head on the big wooden table. There is a machete and dagger, and even facing the door, there is a wooden dummy covered with a set of black leather armor composed of fine armor.

Kiel was attracted by this equipment and walked over curiously.

After passing by, I used an oil lamp to find out that this exquisite leather armor turned out to be a semi-finished product. A small wooden box was placed aside, which contained many pieces of unknown animal scale armor that had been made.

Kiel picked up an observation, and as soon as he got started, he felt that the armor piece made of the scales of an unknown animal was very light. He broke it in his hand and found that it was not very hard, but the whole was elastic and soft. Toughness, the protective effect is estimated to be not bad.

Thinking about it, Keir directly took off the backpack behind him, checked the contents, took out the water bottle and a box of food, and then put all these small pieces of armor into the backpack, and at the same time he put the unfinished parts on the dummy His scale armor was untied, and it was lightly rolled into a ball, which was also stuffed into the backpack.

The small backpack was stuffed to the brim, and it looked a bit weird behind the back, but Keel felt that this trip was quite rewarding.

Then he left here. In order to prevent the weapons inside from being obtained by others, Kiel closed the thick wooden door and inserted a dagger in the crack of the door. The dagger was firmly stuck in the crack of the wooden door.

He pushed it, but found that it was not easy to open the door, then nodded in satisfaction, and continued to advance through the narrow turning passage.

Originally, Keir's sense of space was not bad, and he was not easy to get lost in the difficult-to-distinguish forest, but at this time, he quickly lost his direction in the narrow and difficult-to-distinguish passageway underground in the gang lair controlled by thieves.

It’s not that the road is so complicated, it’s just that Kiel broke through the wall through the passage connected to the trap and entered the mechanism room. Where should I go.

Losing his direction, Keir didn't care, he just went wherever he went. He passed the underground lounge along the narrow passage that turned left and right, and it was full of double-decker wooden beds, which seemed to be able to sleep at least two hours. Ten people; he also passed an underground tavern, but there were only two people who could not fight in it. Keel rushed up to knock them down, and after tying them up, he realized that these two were the tavern where gangsters rested and drank. bartender.

The others rushed out to fight, so the two of them had to stay here and wait.

After knocking the two unconscious, Keel saw those small buckets of wine licking his lips, and finally couldn't help his thirst, so he found a clean glass and took a glass of ale and drank it.

After taking a few sips, Keel resisted the idea of ​​drinking a few more glasses, walked out of the underground tavern, and continued along the passage.

Then at a turning corner, he found a small training ground in the basement. It was an exaggeration. The training ground of hundreds of square meters was extremely complicated. structure.

Keel guessed at a glance that this thing was used as a training method to train new thieves to enter the house through the window from the outside of the residents.

In addition, on the other side there is actually an imitation of the living room environment of a wealthy family. Keel didn't guess what it was used for when he glanced at it, until he curiously lifted a painting on a false wall, only to find that behind the painting was a storage box embedded in the false wall. There is still a lock on the storage box, and it doesn't look easy to open.

Keel found it interesting, and lifted off the luxurious-looking carpet on the ground.

Sure enough, the false floor under the carpet also has a mechanism, and when it is lifted, it is also a storage box with a lock.

"Interesting, this place turned out to be a training place for stealing? It's amazing!" Keel couldn't help but marvel. Who would have thought that there would be such a place under the seemingly insignificant gang lair.

In addition, there is an obstacle wooden wall nearby for practicing wall climbing, and a throwing target for practicing throwing weapons. On the whole, this small underground training ground is small, but it has all internal organs.

Kiel knew at a glance that roughly, the training of a novice thief could be completed here.

"It's amazing." Although Keir was eager to take down this underground lair, he couldn't help but marvel at all the facilities here. After all, things like secret bases in the previous life were only seen by children in TV programs or games. Seeing it in person, Keel found it particularly interesting.

But the sudden appearance of another voice made Keel startled.

"It's very powerful. I put a lot of thought into this place. My apprentices and I have been training and living here for many days and nights." In the darkness, a cold voice sounded.

The voice was somewhat angry: "But now, all these hard work will be destroyed. Because of what?"

Keel put the oil lamp in his hand on the table beside him, removed the shield from behind, and got ready for battle. He tentatively replied, "Because you offended the local knight lord?"

That voice moved around the training ground in several places where the light could not be seen, up and down: "I am very careful in doing things."

From left to right: "Never exposed to that stupid bear's eyes or ears."

Uncertain: "How did he know all about me? How did he make such a decision?"

The voice became puzzled: "This time his soldiers must have lost a lot of people. Isn't it good for both sides to live in peace?"

Keir's helmet visor kept turning with the movement of the sound, but the limited light and the complicated surrounding environment made him unable to see the speaker at all.

Keir didn't want to answer the other party's question. After all, everything was triggered from his own side. He was afraid that speaking out would cause the other party to attack wildly. Judging from the content of the other party's words, Kiel has already guessed the identity of the other party - the leader of the Yisi knife head gang, the thief Yisi.

Kiel had no idea about the opponent's skills, but he guessed that the black smoke outside that blocked his vision must have been made by this person. The opponent's methods are unknown, and Kiel doesn't want to fight to the death with the opponent in this place.

The environment is too bad for him, the numerous obstacles and the opponent's ability to hide are really dangerous.

After the previous sentence was finished, both of them were silent for a while.

The thief Isi waited for Keel to answer something, but Kiel had no intention of answering the question.

A moment later, a long inhalation sounded from behind Kiel, and Kiel immediately turned around. In his sight, a tall figure in black leather was sitting on a luxurious wooden chair with fur that imitated the living room of a rich man.

With the limited lighting, Keel squinted his eyes.

The thief's right arm disappeared, and the broken leather sleeve showed that the man's right arm was obviously severed by a weapon.

But after being cut off with an arm, the face of this unknown thief is still indifferent, no, it is still different, the other party's lips are tightly pressed together, showing that this person's mood is not as indifferent as his face calm.

Looking at Kiel, who was cautious and seemed to be slashing with a sword at any time, the thief leader pointed to a golden wooden chair opposite him, motioning for Kiel to sit down.

"Young man, I'm curious, why did you and your people participate in today's killing that shouldn't have happened?"

After the thief stretched out his hand to signal, he took out a gold coin out of nowhere and put it in his hand to play with.

What's interesting is that the gold coin is bouncing on the fingertips of the thief's only remaining hand, even though he can't see the movement of the opponent's fingers, which is lively and shows superb skills.

Keir was silent for a while, and after getting closer to the other party, he pulled the wooden chair pointed by the other party back a few meters, and then sat on it carefully.

The sword and shield did not leave his hands, and Kiel just sat awkwardly on the expensive gold-wire wooden chair, observing the thieves on the opposite side carefully not to meet the other party's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, and the atmosphere was here, but he still couldn't help opening his mouth.

"So, did you know that an army from the north passed through the border these two days?"

-

A moment ago, when Keel pushed the underground mechanism.

In the courtyard of the gang lair, the black smoke that completely obstructed the line of sight slowly rolled upwards, engulfing everyone present in its belly, creating obstacles and troubles for human beings.

But like the old saying, light does not shine on everyone, and so does darkness.

It seems that all human beings in the black smoke have their eyesight affected, but for those who are prepared, the darkness is like day.

Knight Anvina stood in the courtyard, his heavy breathing could no longer be suppressed, nothing else, it was simply that he was already angry with the thieves who were fighting him at this time.

Just now, that dishonorable thief threw the restrained soldier at him. The knight didn't check for a while during the battle, and even split the soldier in two with an axe.

Just a moment later, that guy did this trick again!

Phew, a figure broke through the air and slammed heavily towards the Anvina knight.

This time, the knight didn't dare to kill the thrown soldier with an axe. He threw away the ax in his left hand and opened his left hand, which was as big as a cattail fan. Hearing the sound of scraping, the left hand directly caught the thrown soldier Soldier.

But as soon as he caught the man, the knight felt something was wrong, because something was missing.

The sound of the knight's steel gloves colliding with the leather jackets worn by his soldiers.

The sound didn't come out, obviously he opened his left hand to catch the person, but at this moment when he couldn't see anything, there was no sound, as if he caught a phantom.

The problem is, the weight in the hand is obviously the weight of a person?

Just when the knight was thinking about these things in his heart at this moment, he lightened his left hand, and then someone supported his left arm with a murderous intent and attacked the neck of Anvina knight.

The knight hadn't realized anything yet, but the body he had cultivated from fighting monsters for many years had reacted ahead of time.

The opponent supported his left arm with one hand, so the knight directly raised his left arm high, lifting the entire body of the enemy who was clinging to his arm.

The attack that was supposed to stab the steel neck guard, but because of his improved stature, scratched the knight's helmet with scratches.

The knight's hair exploded from the root of his hair, because a biting cold feeling passed from the outside of the helmet. Fortunately, the helmet prevented the hair from expanding, otherwise the knight's image at this time would be quite bad.

"Damn thing!"

After cursing, the huge ax in the right hand of the Anvina knight immediately swept over his left shoulder, but he felt a pressure on the top of his head, and then the huge ax hit empty.

The knight opened his left hand and made a downward move, and the giant ax that fell on the ground immediately flew up into the air and returned to the control of the knight's left hand, followed by the giant ax with his right hand sweeping towards the top of his head.

But amazingly, as if the other party could see it at this time, the pressure on the knight's head was released, and the thief jumped on the spot lightly, and even jumped onto the right arm of the Anvina knight.

The ax hanging above the head hit empty again, and the two sides fought close to each other at this moment, but neither could do anything to the other.

The thief couldn't afford any ax from the knight, but his dexterous movements and ability to ignore the black smoke around him blinded the invisible knight of Anvina.

Obviously the opponent was scurrying around beside him, but after a few moves, he couldn't help him at all, as if his movements were completely seen through.

"Really." The knight said while shaking his right hand, "It seems that you can see around!"

The thieves used their hands and feet to move deftly on the tall, fat knight in steel armor, while trying to attack the knight with the undead bone dagger many times.

But at this time, the opponent would seem to have predicted his action one step in advance, and made his attack fall through first.

"Hey, crisis awareness?" A cold voice came from under the thief's mask.

The voice was close at hand, and the knight of Anvina swung his two-handed giant ax close to his body, but the opponent could always find a flaw, and he couldn't even touch a hair on the opponent's body.

"Ang, insidious guy, that's it, come face me!" the Anvina knight roared.

A cold voice came from under the crotch: "Hey, I'll fight you head-on since you broke your arms. How about it?"

Knight Anvina felt a sense of being humiliated. No one dared to talk to him like this for so many years. When he heard that the other party was in his crotch, the knight sat down directly. The steel crotch guard was no weaker than other places, and the heavy The body is far more deadly than the heavy hammer.

But the thief flashed out from behind the knight with his hands and feet, stepped on the knight's steel belt, and climbed up the opponent's back. The undead bone dagger stabbed heavily at the back of the knight's head.

boom!

The knight sat down heavily on the ground one step ahead, the ground trembled, and the small stones laid in the inner courtyard were blown away by the huge impact again, scattered and collapsed towards the surroundings.

The thief also shook due to the vibration, and the fatal blow in his hand lost his aim as he swayed from side to side, and poked heavily on the knight's shoulder.

The thick shoulder armor had a direct collision with the undead bone dagger, but the result made the thief Yi Si feel unbelievable.

In his eyes, it was already an overpowering evil undead weapon. After hitting the thick steel shoulder armor straight, it did not penetrate directly and consistently as he expected, but stabbed in like a broken bamboo.

The unexpected tenacity of steel, even if it is a powerful evil weapon, still only penetrated a centimeter deep, accompanied by the invasion and corrosion of the evil force at the tip of the bone dagger, even if he grasped the handle of the dagger and stabbed inward with all his strength, moving forward The speed is still very unsatisfactory to him.

The Anvina knight didn't just sit still, letting the enemy attacking him do whatever he wanted, the coldness on his shoulders kept coming, even if the tip of the evil weapon hadn't broken through the protection of the steel armor, the evil power had already infiltrated and launched attacks on his body. attacked.

However, the lethal power attack on ordinary people is not a trouble to knights who are full of life force.

The Anvina knight swung the huge ax in one hand towards the back, trying to force the opponent back, while the other hand propped up on the ground to help the body stand up.

After pushing back the dishonorable thief, the knight's counterattack followed.

He charged up and squatted, and after confirming that the thief was on his armor, he jumped directly into the sky.

Don't forget, the knights have jumping power far superior to ordinary people, even if the Anvina knights are tall and fat, and they wear super heavy steel full body armor. His jumping ability is still far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Huh-huh-huh

The knight jumped straight into the air on the spot, at a height of more than ten meters, far exceeding the height of the black smoke that obstructed the line of sight floating in the air.

"Hahaha, as I expected, go to hell, you trash!"

As soon as his eyes were able to see again, the Anvina knight laughed and saw the thief who hooked his arm with his feet.

This time, the knight swung the giant ax much faster than when he couldn't see just now. In the black smoke, he couldn't see what was going on around him, so the knight had to be careful whether his weapons might hurt him. Therefore, every ax has a very short hesitation and judgment, and this little speed difference is completely used by the thieves.

This is why it is often impossible to solve the enemy.

But this time, when the Anvina knight saw that annoying guy for the first time, he swung his arm and slashed at him.

"What!"

The thief Yisi was also stunned for a moment. He also didn't expect that the existence of the knight's strength could jump so high, which far exceeded his expectations.

It's not like he hasn't seen knights' contests before. In some southern countries, knights' tournaments are quite popular, but those young boys in brightly-colored clothes have various means, but none of them can jump to such a high place.

Especially the subject is a guy who weighs hundreds of kilograms, and is wearing a heavy armor of the same hundreds of kilograms, holding a knight with a giant ax weapon that weighs at least one hundred kilograms.

Although he was a little surprised to be led by the knight to jump straight up out of the range covered by the black smoke, but the surprise was the surprise, and the thief Yi Si didn't stop moving.

He let go of the kick that hooked the knight's arm, and kicked the opponent's arm with the other kick in the opposite direction. With a silent kick, the thieves in the sky floated far away horizontally.

The Anvina knight missed with one axe, but he was not upset, because the next attack was fatal.

"Die!"

With a yell, he swung his other hand round and threw the giant ax at the thief.

As soon as the giant ax flew out of his hand, it showed its power, and it swept towards the wide-eyed thief with a gust of wind.

Facing the deadly giant ax that swooped in front of him, the thief Isi stopped breathing for a moment. He knew that he must not get out of the range of the black smoke when facing the serious knight, but he didn't expect the attack to be so fast and deadly.

At that moment, his mind turned, and he thought of several solutions with his flexible mind, but they were all rejected by him in an instant. For some reason, at this moment, he thought of things from his childhood like a fleeting moment.

Falling in family fortune, being knocked into the dust after rising up, being rescued by the Thieves Guild in despair, studying hard but losing one's own identity, silently assisting the recovery of other family members in the dark, accepting the guild's arrangement after being satisfied Come here to open up a new territory, and build a shelter gang with the apprentices and students who are optimistic about accepting them.

And the fight just now.

Unexpectedly, facing the attacking giant rotating axe, he grasped his numb and cold right hand with his left hand, and raised his undead bone dagger to face his possible last scene.

boom!

The moment the tip of the bone dagger came into contact with the whirling air wave of the giant axe~www.readwn.com~ his eyes widened in disbelief, because the evil thing in his hand unexpectedly exploded with unexpected power.

This thing also seems to be spiritual and doesn't want to die.

Therefore, the bone dagger with the length of the forearm erupted with extremely strong evil power at this moment. The dark blue and pale light visible to the naked eye burst out from the bone dagger, forming a small energy vortex, fighting together with the heavy and powerful knight's one-handed giant axe.

However, after all, the giant ax is the weapon in the knight's hand, and the undead bone dagger is not the weapon of the thief Isi. The power explosion at this time is simply the protection of the weapon itself, which is both unintentional and ignorant.

After the two forces stirred for a moment, the thief volley holding the bone dagger in both hands was forcibly pushed away by the giant axe.

The giant ax whirled and rolled past the thieves, and the thieves, who were only a short distance away from death, broke out in a cold sweat.

He let out a half breath, opened his arms and looked at the opposite knight, with mocking eyes on his mask.

Although he didn't speak, the meaning was undoubtedly revealed.

-You can't help me-

However, although the Anvina knight who had passed the highest point of the jump gradually fell down, he just slammed his outstretched fingers in the air twice, which is really strange.

There was no reason for the danger. When the thief Yisi realized something was wrong and wanted to turn his head to look behind him, the spinning giant ax that flew back in the air had already sliced ​​past the thief.

The arm eroded by the evil force was quite numb, which made Yisi feel okay, because at this moment, the giant ax rolled over his right shoulder, cut off his arm lightly, and landed straight on the ground. In the hands of the knight of Anvena with open hands.

"How? Haha."

These were the words of the Anvina knight who fell into the black smoke again.
