City of Sin: Thirty-five assassinations (new year plus more)
The man immediately glared at Erin and said straightforwardly: "But this is not the first time you have procrastinated. According to the dark blue rules, I have every reason to ask you to repay the money immediately. Go, work to meet the debt, or get out of the dark blue! "
When the man turned to Richard, he put on a smiley face again. The speed of his face change is comparable to instant magic: "Dear Richard, maybe we should not be here, but we are all doing things in accordance with the dark blue rules. Do n’t dare to have a slight violation. Your great Sharon once said that the contract should not be blasphemy. And this woman owes her debts and refuses to pay interest or provide services according to the rules. /
His attitude is very respectful, but his words also imply toughness. The rules of the dark blue are not strictly stated, but they are as tough as steel. Even the Archmages are not qualified to violate them, and Richard is even less qualified.
Richard frowned and looked back at Erin. The girl's eyes clearly flinched and frightened. And her eyes did not dare to touch Richard directly.
Richard five fingers gather, the jumping magic fireball floats up several meters, and then blasts and annihilates. Such exquisite magic manipulation made the three men's faces change greatly, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back. It makes sense, but the status of the two parties is too disparate, and of course they are still afraid. If Richard is in a bad mood and hurts them, the only trouble is the compensation of gold coins.
Richard glanced at them and said, "She owes you the bill, I will pay it back for her. Now leave me immediately!"
The man headed by "But ..." was obviously unwilling, still secretly staring at Erin hiding behind Richard.
Richard sneered a bit and said, "Why, do you intend to doubt my reputation?"
The three men immediately turned pale, and said repeatedly that they did not dare. But the headed man suddenly gave Erin a hard look and said fiercely: "Small thing, you wait for me, it is better not to go home alone in the future!"
Richard complexion sank, the three men immediately stepped up and ran away. It wasn't until their backs disappeared far away that Richard looked back, looked at Erin with arms around him and bowed his head without saying a word, sighed and asked, "How much do you owe them?"
"One ... one thousand and two hundred gold coins." Erin's voice was very soft, obviously trembling, and her shoulder was quietly shaking, apparently crying with her head down.
Richard stopped talking, and finally sighed.
He still remembers that the last Erin refused to make his money, but now it is less than a year, and it has already made things wrong. If it is not out of luck, perhaps Erin will still not tell him the number of debts. And speaking the numbers means she is ready to receive Richard funding. Within a year, purity, self-esteem and pride had all left her. The young girl who came in from the bathroom door once exuded the good smell of sunlight.
Richard's heart was inadvertently tightened, some because the man just said "you don't make money from men", but more because she was forced to such a total number of debts There are only 1,200 gold coins.
One thousand and two hundred gold coins, but it was the cost of recovering Potion after drinking two bottles of magical power. It was an old thing a year ago. The current Richard does not drink the ordinary Mana Recovery Potion. The effect of the thing is too poor, and it is too slow to take effect. When he got the bill at the beginning of every month, he didn't even look at the last four digits, because whether it was four zeros or four nines, they were just meaningless fractions.
Richard is very calm, he ca n’t see any emotions on his face at all, but just asks indifferently: "I will pay you this money. Is there anything else?"
Erin hesitated for a moment, whispered: "I still owe four hundred gold coins to a few other people, but I can find a way myself ..."
Richard interrupted her: "A total of 1,600 gold coins, okay, no problem!"
Erin finally raised his head, and before that, hurriedly rubbed his hands on his face. She glanced at Richard, and finally smiled helplessly, and reached out her hair again. Now her emotions have completely calmed down, and the faint smile seems to still have a shadow of the sunshine girl, "But I have no ability to earn I ca n’t pay you back for at least half a year. I have nothing but me. So if you want me, you can come to me at any time. "
Richard did n’t seem to hear what she was talking about, but took out a sticky note, swiped the payment receipt on it, signed his name, stuffed it into Erin, and did n’t even say goodbye , And strode toward his own residential area. After a few steps, Richard turned back suddenly, the girl did not leave, but hugged herself tightly with both hands, squatted on the spot.
His heart sighed again and walked to the girl again. Erin raised his head, looking up at Richard, and said softly, "I ... I am scared. I'm sorry ..."
"Because of those men?"
Erin nodded silently.
Richard reached out to the girl and said, "Go, I will send you back. I want to see who dares to stop you on the road."
Richard's words already bring a touch of murderous aura. In the case where he has promised to pay the debt for Erin, if those people dare to entangle Hu again, then Richard does not mind giving them a deep lesson, or even send several people to hell.
The residents of Deepblue's Main Tower and the marginal zone are completely two classes, with huge power differences. If Richard kills someone in the fringe zone, it only needs to lose money, and in the case where the other party maliciously provoked or insulted him, Richard has no responsibility at all, and even lost money.
Erin took Richard's hand and took advantage of it to stand up. Then she immediately quietly withdrew her hand, and was slightly behind Richard half a step.
There is a long and quiet road from the main tower to the fringe area. It was already late at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. A few people hurried by without looking at Richard and Erin. They have exhausted their physical strength in a busy day, and now they only hope to be able to go back early and get a good night's sleep. There is still a whole day of work waiting tomorrow.
Along the way, Richard and Erin remained silent and did not say anything. Neither of them knew what to say. After a year, they were speechless.
Erin ’s residence is located in a small alley on the periphery of the edge area, and is a closed room with no view of the dark blue outside. There are still windows, but more like a decoration. The windows can only be opened to the inside of the room. The place where a slap is stretched out is the wall of the patio. The magic light is the only lighting source. Similar houses can be seen everywhere in the fringe area, while the price of a room with exterior windows is three to four times that of this type of house. Although there are several small towns scattered around the dark blue, people from outside prefer to live in the dark blue. Even the black houses in the fringe area are more decent than the residents in the town.
After sending Erin to the door and secretly writing down the address, Richard turned around and left, deliberately not looking at Erin with the hopeful look.
Because the sky is still cold, the edge of the night is very quiet, the lights are dim, the inferior polymer fuel is quite unstable, the light flickers and flickers, swaying, pulling out a large shadow, like a monster with Foreign Plane, creeping and crawling, anytime May prey on prey.
For some reason, Richard suddenly felt a little cold. It is close to the outermost periphery of the edge zone, and the temperature is only minus ten degrees. However, the magic robe of Richard is naturally different from the ordinary Mage, that is, it can also resist 50 degrees below zero. But now Richard feels a little cold, and it is very cold unnatural. It was a cold, wet, cold ice, as if you were in an ice cave that has not melted for thousands of years. Even the air is solidified, and it seems to fall in the reptile cellar. Ever. Soon Richard came out with a thin sweat and soaked close-fitting clothes, which was particularly uncomfortable.
He exhaled a breath from heavily and loosened the button at the neckline of magic robe. When the fingertip accidentally touched the badge of the neckline, it was suddenly burned! The badge did not know when it began to glow dimly, and it was extremely hot. This badge is unique to Sharon students, not only a symbol of status, but also a magic that detects hostility. And it has become so hot, indicating that the enemy is on the left and right, and does not conceal its intention to kill!
Richard suddenly froze!
On the side and back of Richard, a shadow begins to bulge, and then a humanoid emerges from inside. It cut the shadow like tearing the cocoon skin, and then if the cheetah pounced, a dark gray short sword in his hand had been stabbed fiercely into the Richard waist!
This stab at very ruthless is quick, and it was suddenly launched at close range. The hacked attack is that the well-trained Warrior is also difficult to resist, not to mention just a Magic Acolyte that is not yet a teenager? Assassin and Bow Sniper were always the nemesis of Mage, except that one was close-range and the other was long-range.
When the tip of the dagger touched magic robe, accident/surprise's one-sidedness failed to penetrate the robe! The reaction of Assassin is also good, there is no slightest confusion, and there is no deflection in the tip of the sword. The magic robe immediately glowed with a faint yellowish light, then swelled up, and another translucent shield was triggered.
Assassin immediately felt that his arms and weapons were protruding into the thick mud, and it was very difficult to wave between them. But Assassin is not the first time to assassinate Mage, and has more experience in dealing with Magic Barrier. So he still set the point of the sword at that point, and suddenly burst out of power. The short sword pierced like a chisel, with a squeal, he already made a big mouth on the magic robe!
However, after magic robe is empty!
Assassin waved his arm and threw magic robe aside, and saw that Richard had taken the opportunity to run out of several meters and was running towards a shadowy alley. Assassin immediately ecstatic, because another friend of his was already ambushing in that alley, Richard is looking for his own way! But in whose hands the prey dies, the credit is different. Assassin immediately accelerates, the upper body leans forward is almost parallel to the ground, approaching at twice the speed of Richard.
Richard may have escaped too hurriedly, stumbled, and fell into the air. In a panic, he reached out and grabbed an iron bar attached to the wall of the lane, which seemed to be trying to stabilize his flying body. Assassin, who is only one leap away from Richard, is overjoyed. The current Richard is completely a living target, and he is completely able to kill before he escapes into the alley. Once Richard escaped into the alley, it would be difficult to grab before the companions.
So Assassin suddenly raised to the highest speed, dagger once again stab waist of Richard!
However, the Richard that grabbed the iron bar suddenly showed a completely different power! His body drew a semi-circle with the iron bar as the center of the circle, snapped on the wall with a snap, but just avoided the fatal blow of Assassin! The Assassin, which flew at full strength, hit the air, but was unable to control the direction due to excessive force, and flew from the front of the Richard according to its inertia. In the eyes of Assassin, this is equivalent to let Richard review all the vital points of the body. Fortunately, he is a Mage, if he is also a Assassin ...
Assassin was just fortunate and suddenly saw Richard's right hand folded, and the three-centimeter-thick iron bar used for fixing equipment when repairing external walls was broken in the middle! Then Richard used the half-meter iron strip that was folded down like a dagger, and pierced into the waist of Assassin at once, then shook it again. This puncture is very much Precision (accurate). It is inserted deeply from under the ribs, and then the spine is broken, and then the nerves that are still attached are cut off, and an extremely huge wound is left in the abdomen of Assassin. A few unremarkable small movements, but left a fatal injury that made High Rank Cleric helpless. Richard's technique is clearly one of the most superb skills of Dark World!
