The assassin fell to the ground with an arrow stuck in his head. His shocked expression was frozen on his face, distorted and horrifying. The bright red liquid that flowed out from the corpse gradually spread to Sally's feet.
"Sally?"
The bishop's apology did not allow Sally to recover from the shock. After hearing Benjamin's voice, she instinctively raised her head. Although her big eyes were looking at the old man in front of her, her face was completely blank.
Her heart was filled with endless doubts. Why did Roddy do this? The assassin had already been subdued. What good would killing him do other than infuriating Bishop Benjamin?
If this powerful bishop in Hollier was completely enraged, the power of the Rose Cross would definitely cause Roddy to lose a layer of skin even if he did not die. As a "priest candidate" of the cloister, Sally naturally understood the power hidden under the surface of the sect.
Bishop Benjamin's face was not something that could be easily slapped. No matter how strong Roddy was, he was no match for the bishop. Sally was in a dilemma. She could not help but think that if Roddy was chased day and night by the Rose Cross Sect, would she live in regret?
"Don't be afraid. It's safe now."
Bishop Benjamin raised his hand and cast a "Soul Soothing" spell to calm the mind. He thought that Sally was frightened by the brutal assassin and did not see what she was worried about. He took a step to the side and ordered the guards and priests to move the corpse away. He then looked at the frightened Brook and Ryan in the distance. After thinking for a moment, he softly said to Sally, "I won't ask anything now. I'll go back and have a good rest. I'll come back tomorrow to ask in detail what happened, okay?"
With his age and experience, Bishop Benjamin's way of doing things was naturally more experienced. It was the first time the young children had faced such a bloody and cruel scene, so it was needless to say that they were shocked. If he immediately asked them to repeat what happened, although he could get the answer he wanted, it was definitely not a good thing for these children. It might even leave an unforgettable shadow in the depths of their hearts, which would lead to a more difficult path of cultivation in the future.
As a person of high status, he naturally had to look far ahead. Naturally, Benjamin had his own considerations for doing this. After hearing his words, Sally seemed to realize her current situation. Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the balcony where Roddy was. Her lips quivered a few times. She said, "I … I … that …"
"You don't need to say anything." Benjamin waved his hand. "Tell me tomorrow … This matter is not over yet."
After saying that, he once again released a "High-Level Recovery Spell", making the bruises on Sally's back disappear. He turned around and said to the four priests who were rushing over, "Accompany them back, now."
The priests who were evacuating the believers immediately responded. The priest named Ethan took the wet cloth from the nun and walked over to wipe the blood stains on Ryan's face. Then, he led them into the church.
The three assassins were completely annihilated. One was hacked to death outside the monastery, while the other two were shot to death inside the main gate and the side of the front hall of the church. The injured mercenaries and guards had been carried away. Due to the timely treatment, they were all saved. However, the result of this battle was very bloody. The ground was almost covered with blood, and within five to six minutes, the ground in front of the monastery was dyed red. This originally solemn holy place had an unprecedented atmosphere of cruelty …
Sally hesitantly followed the priest towards the church. She kept looking back at the outside of the monastery, but she also knew that Roddy could not possibly appear here at this time. However, when she thought of Benjamin's words of "This matter is not over yet", she was a little flustered and worried … If the bishop issued a "religious order of arrest", would she ever see him again?
As she left the place, Sally's mind was full of countermeasures.
Benjamin, who had been standing in the front hall, did not immediately leave.
His eyes swept across the arrow shafts that had not been cleaned up. He took a few steps forward and casually picked up a broken arrow. His fingertips gently rubbed it, and slightly narrowed his eyes.
"The scout's arrow …"
After confirming the characteristics of the arrow shafts, his eyes swept over the two bodies that were being carried away. He walked closer and looked at the fatso who was shot in the eyeball, and then reached out to look at the other assassin who was shot in the leg and had half his neck cut off. His brows furrowed even more.
He raised his head and looked at the broken flower pots in the distance. After confirming that Rody was on the balcony, he personally followed the traces to find him.
The house was the residence of a merchant. Usually, no one lived in it. Only two servants were left to clean it from time to time. Therefore, when they saw the dean of the monastery and the bishop himself, they immediately welcomed him with reverence and awe.
After asking a few times, Benjamin found out that the two servants did not know that someone had just been there. It was obvious that the archer's whereabouts were hidden and difficult to track down. With that in mind, Benjamin went to the third floor and stood at Rody's previous position, looking at the entrance of the Monastery. His mood became more and more complicated.
"Such a distance … is a little too accurate."
It was not that Benjamin had not heard of the rumors of "shooting a willow tree from a hundred feet away". At his age, he had seen many things that ordinary people could not imagine, but when he really met such a sharp "godly archer", his heart was truly amazed. Because from here to where Sally was just now, the distance was more than 70 meters, and standing here, looking at her face was not even the size of his fingernail!
Although he did not ask Sally and the others about the entire battle, after looking around, Benjamin had a general understanding of the strength of both sides.
To put it bluntly, if it was not for the person who shot the arrow, Sally, Ryan and the others could be said to be dead without a doubt. Other than casualties, the monastery would definitely suffer unbearable losses and humiliation, the "Rose Cross" would lose all its face, and his position as bishop …
Although he was angry at the person who shot the last assassin in front of him, when he thought of the incoming bishop, Rubens, he had to admit that if it was not for Rubens, the "bishop" position would probably be the end of his career in the church.
Benjamin took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "This guy … what the hell is he thinking?"
*****
3rd of September, Pig's Head Bar, evening.
"Hey! Did you hear? There was an assassination at the monastery yesterday! Oh my god, who would have too much to eat and run to the "Rose Cross"? "
On the second day after the "assassination at the monastery", the bar owner, Hook, was loudly telling Roddy the news he heard today. Looking at his oily face and excited expression, it was as if he had witnessed the whole incident. "Three assassins! They actually rushed into the monastery! I can only say that the two guards at the door are too useless, they actually couldn't fight back. In the end, if it wasn't for the mysterious archer, I'm afraid they would have succeeded! "
"Oh? Archer? "
Roddy raised his eyebrows and took a sip of the watered ale. His face showed a look of interest, "Can you be more specific?"
"Let me tell you, that archer is really amazing, if I have to say, he is not any worse than the guy in your story! I heard them say … "
Hook began to talk non-stop about the story, and Roddy nodded as he glanced at the "Character Attribute Pane" in front of him that others could not see, carefully thinking about the rewards that he gained from yesterday's battle.
Speaking of which, this was the first time since he killed "Witch Doctor" Sarota that he directly fought with an opponent with an "advanced profession", and the result of this battle was also very obvious: the arrows that he shot out were completely ineffective when the opponent was prepared.
The first reason was that the level of his weapon was not good enough — there was a clear difference between a level 10 weapon and a level 8 weapon, and Roddy could only make level 8 bows at the moment. If he wanted to buy it, the Holy Temple's armory could provide it, but he did not have enough "Respected" Reputation Points …
The second reason was that the "advanced profession" had an extremely high attribute increase, similar to the advanced profession of "Wandering Swordsman", the "Agility" attribute was much higher than other close-combat professions, and this was the main reason why the opponent could directly block Roddy's arrows — his own arrows were not fast enough, and they were not powerful enough. Although he could kill the Orcs as long as he hit their vital points, that was because the Orcs basically had "no armor", and their general level and attributes were crushed by Roddy.
Now that he encountered a guy with a higher level, and the opponent had advanced profession, Roddy obviously could not do anything to him.
However, after killing all the assassins, Rody had completed a mission with a high 'completion rate'. That was' Resolve the Monastery's Crisis'.
And this mission gave him a total of 75000 Experience Points!
Obviously, this was due to the high level of the enemy, so Roddy successfully leveled up to level 9, and left some Experience Points for leveling up to level 10 — although he could immediately level up to level 10 and choose the "advanced profession", for the sake of safety, Roddy did not choose to level up immediately.
This was because the "advanced profession" was not an automatic profession change at level 10, and the steps were very troublesome. Not only did he have to complete a series of "advanced missions", he also had to gather a bunch of "mission items" to show filial respect to his mentor, and finally, he could only obtain it after he passed the final test. After thinking for a long time, Roddy finally decided to wait until he had accumulated enough Experience Points to level 11.
Recalling the detours he had taken to advance to a "Ranger" back then, he had considered the problem of advancing to a "Ranger" more than once … But then again, there were no "Ranger" mentors in the human cities. His mentor back then was a Ranger named "Nata" from the Wood Elf Village. But looking at the way she was being chased by a Level 7 leopard, finding a "mentor" would probably be a difficult problem for him.
Then who should he look for?
Tapping his fingers rhythmically on the mug, the innkeeper was still talking non-stop about the "Sharpshooter" — "You don't know! That guy was standing on the window on the third floor, and with just three arrows, the assassin's head became a porcupine! "
Roddy took a sip of his ale, and felt that this guy was somewhat similar to the storyteller Dan Tianfang in his memory. Even his voice was hoarse, it was a pity that he was not a storyteller …
