There was a faint uneasiness in the guards.
These young lads were fearless. For the sake of their Lord, they wouldn't care even if they had to attack the gates of River Beach City.
They were the guards of the White River Valley and had always obeyed the orders of their Lord.
But now, they had to accept the leadership of a killer?
This was a little hard for them to accept. Although they had just arrived at River Beach City, they had heard some rumors about the Dual-bladed Mask.
It was said that this guy had killed all the members of a gang by himself? Wasn't this too terrifying?
"Madam Anna …"
Andre looked at the half-elf housekeeper with some difficulty.
Unexpectedly, Anna said with a cold face, "This is the Lord's order!"
Andre was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Ma Wen said in a hoarse voice, "Are you done dawdling? It wasn't easy to get the patrol team away. Tonight, we must finish this quickly. Come with me! "
After saying that, the Dual-bladed Mask's shadow disappeared into the alley.
The twenty guards immediately followed behind him.
Anna, on the other hand, stayed on the spot.
She had more important things to do.
…
Ma Wen skillfully shuttled through the alley. He was already familiar with the power structure of the city.
The most powerful one was a wizard bordering on the legendary level, which was the Lord of River Beach City. The strongest force under the Lord of River Beach City was the chief wizard group of River Beach City.
After that, there was the patrol team. Every soldier in the patrol team was a Stage 2 Warrior, and they were extremely powerful.
They were the guarantee of River Beach City's security.
As long as he could get the patrol team away, Ma Wen had nothing to fear.
Although Miller was very rich, the guards stationed in his mansion were only a small group of five or six mercenaries and two grade 2 professionals.
In Ma Wen's calculations, Miller was already a dead man!
"To be able to cruelly poison his own brother!"
"I will never tolerate this kind of person to continue to live in this world!"
He secretly swore in his heart.
After turning a corner, he came to a relatively remote place.
An old Gnome wearing a pair of pince-nez was waiting there with a smile. His name was Ben. On the surface, he ran a pawnshop, but he was secretly related to many local gangs.
As long as you paid enough, these guys would sell you anything.
The first thing Ma Wen did after returning to Riverbeach City was to redeem his necklace. Then, with the identity of the Double Blade Mask, he negotiated a business deal with the old goblin, Ben.
"Lord Double Blade Mask, this way please."
Bain chuckled as he led them to a villa in the wealthy district.
The young men from the Garrison Guard watched all of this nervously.
The group took advantage of the darkness to bypass the villa and came to the back door. The old dwarf took out a key and opened the door.
It was a small warehouse filled with boxes.
"There are a total of 20 leather armors. The military training weapons you want are all inside."
The old goblin said with a smile, "As long as you pay enough, our Black Claw Merchant Guild can get you anything."
"Of course, don't use these things to attack the City Lord's Mansion … I'm not worried that you'll cause trouble, but I'm worried that you won't be able to return."
Ben joked at the wrong time.
No one would use these obsolete weapons to attack the City Lord's Mansion.
This was the era of Wizards. A Wizard's [Enhanced Frost Ring] could make half of the Garrison Guard lose their ability to fight. Going against Wizards was still a joke in this era.
The Cataclysm was still brewing, the Universal Magic Pool was still intact, and the gods in the sky had yet to reach an agreement.
But Ma Wen knew that it wasn't too far away.
"Go in," Ma Wen ordered, "Put on your leather armor. I know you've received the most basic militia training, but you're facing a few good mercenaries."
"I promised your Lord that I wouldn't let any of you fall tonight."
"So, rookies, fasten the buttons on your leather armor!"
Ma Wen's instructions were very experienced, which made the dissatisfied Andre unable to express his anger.
In fact, when he was playing the game in his previous life, Ma Wen had also participated in the subterranean human alliance's crusade against the Dark Elves as a super scout. He had also received a considerable degree of military training. At least, he was much stronger than the militia in front of him.
The subterranean humans were already stronger than the surface humans, not to mention the Dark Elves. With Ma Wen's insight, it was easy to pick out some small flaws.
Before the battle even started, he had already given these young lads a show of strength.
He had to make them completely convinced. Only then would they listen to his orders in battle.
These young lads were well-trained. It didn't take long for them to put on their leather armor.
Protective gear was very important in battle. The human body was very fragile. Before reaching Grade 3 and activating [Apocalypse], all professionals couldn't be completely immune to damage without protective gear. Of course, in such discussions, Wizards were always an exception. The witchcraft of Wizards completely crushed the abilities of other professionals. This was also the reason why Wizards could rule this world.
That was why people always said that even the greatest gods had their favorites. The first Ancient God, Lance, created Fernand and blessed all races, but only loved Wizards.
But soon, this situation would be overturned.
…
"I heard that all the patrols have been summoned to the dock area?"
The old Goblin saw that the guards were fully armed and couldn't help but squint and ask tentatively.
Ma Wen said coldly, "Businessmen shouldn't ask too much."
Bain laughed and said, "Of course, of course."
"But the patrols may not be your biggest problem."
The old Goblin smiled slyly and said, "Mr. Double Blade Mask, I know your target. Number 31 of the Rich District, the fat man called Miller. "
"I have a very valuable piece of information to sell you."
Marvin furrowed his brow.
The old Goblin's intention was obvious to talk about information at this juncture.
He wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price.
Andre and the others were ready to go. Seeing the two discussing, they were a little surprised. They were just soldiers and their brains didn't work that fast.
Ma Wen whispered, "How much?"
"Five gold coins."
Clang!
A cold light flashed and the curved sword was already on the old Goblin's neck!
"Can it be cheaper?" Ma Wen said.
The old Goblin's expression didn't change, "This is information that can save your life. Can your life be cheaper? "
Whoosh!
Ma Wen withdrew his curved sword and took out five gold coins from the void conch and threw it over!
A faint golden light flashed under the candles in the warehouse and almost blinded Andre and the others!
They were poor children from the White River Valley and had never seen so much money!
"Boss, is it so profitable to be an assassin?"
A team member whispered, "That's five thousand silver coins!"
Andre laughed bitterly and also scratched his head.
Even their Lord didn't have so much money, right? Where did he invite such a great god?
Andre was very straightforward and didn't think about things he couldn't figure out.
Anyway, it was the Lord's order so he just followed it.
…
The old Goblin who accepted the gold coins suddenly became very serious, "I know you received money to eliminate the Miller family."
"But the power behind this old fellow is stronger than you think!"
"Of course you can eliminate them tonight but I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!"
Ma Wen said coldly, "I'm not afraid of trouble when it comes to killing people."
Ben snorted, "Have you heard of the Twin Snake Cult?"
Ma Wen's pupils instantly shrank!
Twin Snake Cult!
Of course he had heard of this name!
Not only had he heard of it, in his previous life he had fought with these disgusting cultists no less than a dozen times!
He still remembered his first death in the game. It was when he was fighting with the Twin Snake Cult disciple and that crazy guy self-destructed!
That was the first humiliation in Ma Wen's gaming life!
How come he didn't remember?
"Miller is from the Twin Snake Cult?"
Marvin became serious as well.
No wonder there had been no news of this guy for so many years, but he suddenly became rich recently and then returned to River Beach City.
If he was from the Twin Serpent Sect, then everything would make sense!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Ma Wen's mind!
The Twin Snake Cult had always been very secretive in the underground.
Because of Fernand's Tower of Holy Light, Legendary Wizard Anthony, who used the Eye of Sunlight to monitor them every day. This Legendary Wizard's daughter died because of the Twin Snake Cult's conspiracy, so as long as he was around, the Twin Snake Cult would not dare to act!
But now, the Twin Snake Cult had actually stretched their hands into River Beach City!
If Ma Wen's guess was right, this meant that Legendary Wizard Anthony was close to falling!
Anthony's death was not a natural one.
It was done by a God called the Shadow Prince.
This was the first step the gods had taken to attack the Universe Magic Pool.
"I have to speed up!"
Ma Wen's heart trembled, "The Cataclysm is coming faster than I thought!"
