Chapter 1. Failed Assassination
Seven days later, at the entrance of the prison in Astan City.
Char handed Andrew a piece of clothing, and the round-faced merchant put it on while trembling.
His two servants were also released, each carrying goods. They had high physiques and seemed to be much better than Andrew.
"You lied to me."
Andrew looked at Char with resentment, his little eyes full of grievance.
"I've asked them. They said there was no list of prohibited items. They arrested me because the officer was a Barbarian."
"You're thinking too much. Do the higher-ups need to ask for a reason to catch you? if Maica saw that bucket of Soul-forming Grass powder, would he not use it as an excuse? Although I did lie to you in the process, there is no difference in the result. Not to mention..."
Char took out a bag and handed it to Andrew.
"Open it and take a look."
"What's this?"
The merchant opened the cloth bag, took a look, and immediately covered it.
"This is..."
"You guys should call this 'Magical Treasure Fish', right?"
Char's smile was bright and radiant.
The bag contained the item that had dropped from the Fluorescent Giant-mouthed Fish. Although in terms of value, it could only be sold for one-tenth of the pile of the powder, in Andrew's eyes, it was much more valuable than 50 pounds of powder.
These luxury goods were especially targeted at women, and as long as they were used in the right place, the effect would be outstanding.
Andrew used his strength. "Where did you get this?"
"Of course, it's from selling your bucket of Soul-forming Grass. You should know better than me how to proceed from now on. Don't worry, this is much better than that."
Andrew's expression changed. He actually took half a step back and stared at Char warily.
"Ever since we've known each other, you've never done a losing business. What are you trying to do by suddenly giving up so much interest?"
"Tsk, should I say, as expected of Andrew?" Char blinked. "You saw through it, right? I only want two slots to sneak into the auction."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"Then it's a deal!"
Andrew was afraid that he would go back on his words and agreed. Then, he fled with his guards.
"If there's anything, come to the Reeves Workshop to find me!"
Char waved his hand and watched him leave.
"Timid guy." He laughed.
"Hey, are you done with your work? If you're done, leave immediately! There's no room for miscellaneous people here!"
The guard beside him shouted fiercely.
"You really don't recognize me anymore, huh?"
Char mumbled as he quickly left.
In the past seven days, he had accepted at least three large-scale crusade quests. In addition to the reputation points he had gained from the battle with Maica, he had raised his military reputation to respect in one go. He then fished Andrew out and used up all his reputation points.
When he came in, the soldier was still talking and laughing with him, but now they were distant.
This was too real.
Char left the military camp, and just as she turned around a low wall, she suddenly felt a sense of danger!
He subconsciously drew his sword to block, and an arrow was deflected.
"Are you done yet?"
He did not need to look to know who it was. With light steps, he silently jumped over the low wall and, like a nimble cat, reached the end in two or three steps.
Nelwin was still peeking out from the wall and did not realize that someone was coming over. The temperature behind her suddenly dropped, and it was too late for her to dodge. An ice arrow instantly hit her ankle.
This was not the end of it. The basic skills of Elementalists were thrown at him as if they were free, each one more ruthless than the last. Even though Nelwin was rolling on the ground, she could not help but be hit by the skills that seemed to be fixed in place.
As a Mage, although her resistance was not low, her physical resistance was like paper when an Archer with a weak constitution was paired with an Elementalist with a weak constitution. Furthermore, she was wearing a pair of useless high heels that highlighted her height, so her ankle joints were basically undefended.
On the other hand, the Elementalist's skills did not only deal magic damage. The consecutive impacts dealt solid physical damage.
After a series of skills, Nelwin could not run anymore. She curled up in the corner like a doe that had its leg injured by a beast.
She could only watch as Char squatted on the wall and mocked her.
He didn't even pull out his sword. Although it was just a normal smile, she could see that he was very proud.
"How many times has it been?" Char said. "There should be a limit to the number of times. Not to mention, I saved your life before."
"That's because you stole my monster!" Nelwin said angrily.
One of Char's three crusade quests coincided with her own. When Char rushed to the scene, she saw her being chased by the Demonized Boar Leader.
However, according to her, that was a roundabout tactic.
Perhaps the next step would be a strategic retreat.
Well, ladies have the privilege of using filters.
"Sigh."
Char sighed, jumped down and reached out her hand.
"Come, I'll take you back to the doctor."
"I don't need you to take care of me!"
She was as fierce as a little lion.
"Oh, you look so ugly limping to the clinic. I happen to know a small path with few people."
"Pull me up."
Char pulled her up, and half of her body was leaning against his.
Char could not help but frown. If this went on, she would report him for sexual harassment.
'Forget it, so be it. It's not embarrassing for a virgin to die a virgin.
Char was used to fighting monsters, so he did not know how to control his strength, and Nelwin's lame debuff looked very serious.
The two of them were a little close, and she wanted to distance herself as much as possible, but she could not stand still and had to lie on top of Char.
"You were the one who started it, I didn't do anything."
Char opened his arms to show her that he was innocent.
"I'm blacklisting you!" said Nelwin, gritting her teeth.
Char was stunned for a second. "You mean I can do it now?"
"You hooligan!!
"I was just joking."
He reached out and picked her up skillfully.
Nelwin's face was red and hot as she tried to break free.
"Don't move. If you move again, I'll throw you out horizontally. Tsk."
Feeling the wind blowing in her ears, Nelwin could only reach out and put her arms around his neck.
"Don't wear high heels next time. You're not that short." Char said.
"None of your business!"
"Why are you still so hot-tempered? I'll just tell you this. There's a sweet liquor candy at Silver Horn Bay, you know that, right?"
"I know."
"Every night, a drunk female Elf would come to the bar. She's short, white-haired, and has no facial lines. Coincidentally, the lady boss was the same, but both of them thought that the other was normal and did not dare to make contact with the other. As long as you break through this layer of paper window, they will give you a pair of leather boots with built-in elevator, which is much better than your sandals."
After hearing this, Nelwin was silent for a long time.
"Send it to me using Alipay."
"Eh?"
"What are you talking about? I'll transfer the money to you! Do you really want me to devote my life to you for such insignificant information?"
"If that's the case, then let's just save it up. Just like how we gain favorability, we can accumulate 1000 pieces of information of this level in exchange for a chance to marry him. What do you say?" Char laughed.
Nelwin was annoyed. "You're dreaming! Who wants to devote their lives to you?"
"Tsk, it sounds like the progress has been cleared to zero? What a pity."
Nelwin still wanted to say something, but Char suddenly stopped.
"We're here already?"
"No," Char said. "We're in trouble."
Nelwin turned his head and saw three figures blocking the way.
They were players.
