As soon as Raven came in, he swept the whole place with his wanton eyes, as if he was a superior king. This feeling of being able to see through you at a glance makes no one feel comfortable.
In fact, Raven was a little unjust. Subconsciously, he still felt that he was the god-level assassin at the top of the game. Raven, who was used to being addressed as "Brother Lei" every time he entered the Adventurer's Guild, actually hadn't fully adjusted yet.
It would be better if the owner of this gaze was a magician, a high-level powerhouse or a noble. However, Raven, who has a pleasing and handsome face, is too poor and out of character.
He was dressed in burlap clothes only worn by civilians, which were full of stains. He only wore a pair of wyvern leather armors that were once worth some money. Unfortunately, they had holes in key parts, and were almost not even considered decorations. A pair of obvious pairs of shoes were worn at his feet.
They were leather boots ripped off from an unknown ghost. They felt a bit ill-fitting. There was also a medium-sized package on the back.
If it weren't for the nondescript dagger and dagger stuck to his waist, anyone would think that he was just a thief who ran away from the slums and wanted to be promoted to an adventurer despite having some skills.
In fact, most rogues have this background, but unfortunately most of them are stuck in their first adventure mission.
A few days ago, no one would have looked at him. When the bounty order for the Black Eclipse Church was issued, all the adventurers near the Golden City had eyes redder than rabbits, frantically searching for information about the Black Eclipse Church.
Every clue and any new face may trigger their reaction. There will always be some poor kids from the slums who will report the traces of the Black Eclipse cultists to collect the bounty.
It was obvious that a big man thought Raven was one of them. His burly body suddenly stopped in front of Raven, and the poor workmanship of the half-body leather armor gave off an unpleasant smell.
"Oh, the boy who has not yet been weaned has a very fierce look! All boys who have not been taught a lesson have this look in their eyes. It doesn't matter, depending on your performance, it will decide whether you will get a beating and then tell you everything you know. Or
Just give me the information obediently. If I'm in a good mood, sir, I might reward you with a piece of white bread."
Raven smiled inwardly, and sure enough it was here - the Adventurer's Trial.
Raven didn't answer, but moved slightly and passed by.
The big man had no intention of letting Raven go, so he took a step forward and stood in front of Raven again.
Fellow adventurers might be teammates, or even more likely competitors, not to mention that this guy doesn't regard Raven as an adventurer.
"Boy, is this your first time here? Let me tell you what the rules are here!"
The big man waved his right hand, and a giant hand comparable to a bear's claw pressed down on his head, and strong wind passed through his fingers, making a slight whistling sound.
To be honest, Raven really didn't want to take another look at this tease. But adventurers are like this. If you can't control the situation, just wait for a group of people to poop and pee on your head.
Raven's head tilted slightly to the left, and the big furry hand missed him by a hair's breadth, then followed the big man's right side and turned behind him like a ghost.
In the eyes of others, Raven's movements are quite slow, almost like an old lady crossing the road with a cane, but his movements have a strange sense of rhythm.
He took his time and turned right into the blind spot of the big man's sight.
Under the watchful eyes of all the onlookers, Raven took out a piece of rope, tied it with a slip knot like a butterfly through flowers, and frivolously put it around the big man's neck from behind. At the same time, the rope was thrown around the beam above his head...
"Wow--"
The big man didn't understand what was happening, so he was hanged. He thought it was an ordinary rope, and hurriedly took out a dagger and tried to cut the rope. Unexpectedly, when he raised his hand halfway, the rope tightened again, and he felt a strong dizziness.
The overwhelming force surged in, easily swallowing up the big man's consciousness. The dagger fell to the floor with a clang.
Things happened so fast, only three seconds passed from the time Raven dodged the big man's bear paw to the big man losing consciousness.
Only then did the big man and his companions wake up, drew their swords and were about to pounce on him.
"Stop!" The guy who was obviously the leader shouted to stop the group of people: "Idiot! Didn't you see that they didn't even move the dagger?"
Only then did the guy who was just overwhelmed by the blood realize that Raven didn't use any weapon at all. He just crossed his arms with his hands on his chest, stepped on the rope, and sneered slightly. He looked at them like a beast staring at a newborn lamb.
"Sir! I'm very sorry. It was Patrick who offended you. Sir, please forgive Patrick for being reckless." The boss was very polite and even offered a money bag directly.
"Boss!" Several people nearby were anxious.
But they were stopped by the leader's look.
Upon hearing the crisp clanging sound of coins, Raven knew that there would be no less than 20 gold coins inside. This was already a huge sum of money for the lowest level adventurer team.
A day ago, Raven might have accepted it.
Now?
Look - no - go up -
Suddenly, a smell came from above, and the big man urinated...
Smelling that smell, Raven completely lost his desire to establish his authority. As soon as he loosened his grip, the big man's huge body fell down suddenly, holding his throat on the floor and making a sound like a bellows. He did not pick up the adventurer.
The boss Qian walked past him and left a light sentence: "There will be no second time."
The guy was left in a daze, covered in cold sweat.
Not only that one, but all the adventurers who witnessed this scene gasped.
This scene was so shocking. Even if the noose was not meant to be used against them, after the adventurers recalled it, they found that if it was meant to be used against them, they would not be able to resist at all. The feeling of witnessing death right next to them is so shocking.
Creepy.
If this kid had used a dagger instead of a rope, then one blow would have ended this conflict.
Without any extra effort, with smooth movements and dazzling rope skills, onlookers almost suspected that they were witnessing a legendary wanderer.
However, no matter how they sensed it, the kid in front of them was just the aura of the Black Iron Stage. But the stench floating around showed that this was definitely not a fantasy.
This strange feeling of incongruity made their scalps tingle.
Unknowingly, the crowd made way for Raven.
Raven walked by with his head held high and didn't even glance at them.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Raven came to the counter responsible for distributing bounties, and the person who received him was a young girl.
"Dear Sir, I'm sorry, this window is now giving priority to the bounty of the Black Eclipse Church. If you..." She couldn't finish her sentence mid-sentence. She had already seen the large pile of Black Eclipse tattooed human skin in the package that Raven opened.
.
The blood had long since solidified, and even though Raven had roughly washed it once, the smell of blood still rushed towards his face.
The bloody scene combined with Raven's handsome face and faint smile made the girl almost think that the person standing in front of her was a high-level vampire.
Without any slightest hint of contempt, she hurriedly counted Raven's loot, and then with everyone's eyes on her, she removed the bounty on the Black Eclipse Church.
The adventurers in the distance suddenly started making noises.
"What's going on!? Didn't it mean that the passage was blocked and we couldn't hunt down the chief priest and his party? Why was the reward suddenly withdrawn?"
After finally quieting down the noisy adventurer, the girl announced loudly: "Sorry! All the bounties on the Black Eclipse Church have been completed. The person who completed the task is this..." The girl suddenly realized that she had not known the other party's name until now.
Raven smiled and said his name: "Leaven."
"The person who completed it is Lord Raven."
The uproar spread rapidly in all directions, and almost all the adventurers looked at the weak young man. If it hadn't been for the scene at the gate, someone might have been unable to bear it and came up to trouble Raven.
In the distance, someone looked at Raven and secretly asked a soldier wearing full body armor next to him: "Feili, do you want to find someone to try?"
The warrior who was called Feili shook his head: "Give up. Even if we face him head-on, I'm not sure I won't be killed by him."
"What!? You are a level 32 bronze master." The man was shocked.
The warrior smiled bitterly: "Maybe I have a higher level, but my combat experience is far behind. Have you noticed? That half-elf Raven looks quite young, less than fifteen years old, but no one knows how much of his elf blood he has.
.If his elf blood concentration is high, it is possible that he has traveled longer than our grandfather. If you look at his eyes, there is nothing childish, and he has a sense of stability that does not suit his age. It seems casual, but his hands are
The distance between the weapons is always maintained very well. This kind of unconscious performance can only develop such a habit after countless life and death."
At this time, the first person was completely speechless.
"I don't know if he is injured or something else, his aura is so weak. But rogue professionals have always been good at hiding their aura. Anyway, I can't afford to offend this guy. Oh, and also, when he first started
The first glance glanced at my legs..."
This was completely shocking. The first person's face turned green and red. When Fili was young, his leg was pierced by a goblin with a spear. The injury had healed long ago. Only those closest to him knew that his left leg actually
There is still a little bit of inconvenience.
But that kid saw through it at a glance!?
No matter whether the people around him were suspicious or jealous, the bounty of more than two thousand gold coins was grandly placed in front of Raven.
