Chapter 24 The first battle

Shortly after checking into the hotel, Johnson, who could no longer hold himself any longer, quietly left his room and carefully walked out through the back door.

He carried out the whole process very carefully, not making too much noise so as not to wake up other travelers.

"After spending so much time on the carriage during the day, even a transcendent person should be a little tired, right?" Johnson said confidently.

He is a first-class assassin who wanders in the wilderness with his companion Mondelli all year round, specifically picking out some caravans to attack.

The two of them cooperated tacitly, with Johnson usually sneaking into the target to gather intelligence and be responsible for internal response, while Mondelli was responsible for the final battle.

Every time the two of them make a deal, they will immediately move elsewhere to avoid being alerted by others, and this vigilance allows them to remain impunity to this day.

"This target will make a lot of money once we succeed... If we sell the goods of the Stantic Empire to the nobles, we will definitely get a huge sum of money!" Johnson thought of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his pace also quickened.

a bit.

After walking out of the hotel, he walked through several alleys and came to a small house on the edge of the village.

At this moment, a very strong man was waiting there. When Johnson saw him, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Mondley, you really found this." Johnson approached the man and said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense and act quickly." Mondelli glanced at him and said, "The other party only has one second-level transcendental person, right?"

"Yes, if my prediction is correct, that guy should be of the 'Adventurer' class. Although he is also a fighter, he is not a fighting expert like me." Johnson smiled confidently, "Fighting against a guy

A 'fighter' assisted by an 'assassin' has no chance of winning!"

"I've told you many times, don't be careless!" Mondelli shook his head, but said no more.

The two of them walked towards the small hotel along the way Johnson came.



"Unexpectedly, that guy turned out to be a hidden robber." Morsis was hiding in a nearby alley, using detection magic to observe Johnson and Mondley.

"They went back, um... what should I do?" Morse's eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

He now had two choices. One was to run away immediately, sneak into Poli City from the slums overnight, and then find other ways to get to Salius City; the other was to turn back and help Bucket resist the attack of the two bandits.

"Well..." After thinking for a while, Morriss sighed softly, turned around and set off towards the hotel.

Even though he had only known each other for two days with Bucket and the other people in the caravan; even though Bucket had deceived him as a young child, after all, the other party still chose to take him with him and choose to escort a group of important people.

I took him with me along with the goods.

In addition, Morses, who has not yet penetrated deeply into the world of the transcendent, has not yet developed an overly decisive mind. Therefore, his conscience is driving him at the moment.

We can't just watch those people die!

"It's stupid for me to do this... The old man will definitely say so." Morse was running while recalling the teachings given to him by Krabi.

Don't risk yourself by worrying about other people... In the world of the transcendent, it is usually the most reasonable thing to keep to yourself. Others will not respect you because you saved someone, they will only think that you are a person because of it.

Newbie.

Krabe's words rang in Morses' mind. He shook his head fiercely and said with a wry smile, "Now I know why the old man always said that I am a novice..."



"Oh, perfect!" Inside the hotel, Bucket was standing in front of the mirror, looking at his hair with a smile, and praised.

Then he yawned and frowned.

"Why should I waste time doing my hair before going to bed?" Bucket cursed to himself, shrugged, and prepared to go to bed.

He lived in the room closest to the door on the first floor of the hotel. This was what Leon Connor meant. He hoped that Bucket could be closer to the goods so that he could get there quickly in case of emergencies.

In the backyard of the hotel, Johnson and Mondley climbed over the wall and entered. The former looked around, then stretched out a hand and pointed to a window, indicating that his companion Bucket was there.

Mondley nodded and whispered, "Be careful, let's go to the goods first, and try not to do anything if we can!"

Johnson nodded, but he also understood that the "no action" mentioned by Mondelli was basically impossible to happen.

After all, it was a product that could be sold for a huge sum of money, and the two of them did not have the ability to take it away silently.

The two of them tiptoed through the corridor and headed towards the backyard. According to Johnson's inspection, there should be two guards on duty there.

In the backyard, next to the loading carriage.

"Haha... you go to bed first, Jack. I'll watch over you in the first half of the night." A guard yawned and said to Jack, who was sitting on a wooden box.

"Don't work too hard. No one dares to steal this batch of goods." Jack raised his head, smiled at the guard, and said, "Mr. Bucket's reputation is enough to scare away ordinary gangs of robbers."

"You kid, you have to be serious...uh, huh?" The guard shook his head and was about to criticize Jack a few words, but before he could speak, a pain came from the back of his neck, and his words were abruptly stopped.

end.

Jack watched the guard fall in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds. Then, he stood up suddenly, pulled out his sword from his waist, and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

"Who is it? Come out!" Jack wanted to shout, but like the guard, he couldn't finish the sentence.

A black shadow appeared behind him and knocked him out with a knife.

"It's done." Johnson gestured to Mondley in the distance.

Seeing this, Mondley walked over with a smile on his face, staring intently at the loaded carriage.

"You go wake up the horses later, and I'll smash the back wall. If you're lucky, you might be able to escape just like that!" Mondelli looked at the sleeping horses next to him and said, "Try not to

Make a noise and get the carriage ready."

"Mondley, I can't guarantee that." Johnson shrugged and walked to the stable.

At this moment, a fireball landed in front of Johnson without warning. If he hadn't seen it with his peripheral vision, he would have been hit directly.

Because of Johnson's dodge, the fireball landed on the ground and triggered a violent explosion. Johnson, who was near the center of the explosion, was directly shaken away and hit the wall nearby.

"There is a spell caster!" Seeing this, Mondelli's pupils shrank slightly and his muscles all tensed up, as if he was ready to exert force at any time.

"Pfft...what's going on?" Johnson, who was disgraced after being bombed, climbed up from the ground and murmured.

"What's going on, Jack?" At this time, a loud shout came from inside the hotel, and the back door was pushed open, and a frowning Bucket appeared in the eyes of the two people.

"Tch, I've been discovered... I didn't expect there to be a spell caster." When Mondley saw Bucket, he also cursed secretly and whispered to himself.

"You are..." Bucket first looked at Johnson in the corner, then at Mondley and the two guards at his feet, and instantly understood the situation.

"As you can see, we are robbers." Mondelli did not hide it and said directly, "I admit that our operation failed tonight. Can you let us leave?"

"Mondley, what are you talking about?" Johnson looked at Mondley in surprise when he heard this and said.

He has been working hard for this operation for several months, how could he give up so easily?

When Mondley heard this, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "You guy, you don't even know there is a spell caster on the other side. Where have you been doing after several months of intelligence work?"

"But...but..." Johnson knew that this was indeed his mistake and could only endure being scolded. But he couldn't figure out which person in this caravan would be the spell caster.

"I know the other people very well. The new guy Kelvis also carries a sword on his back... How can there be a spellcaster with a sword? Could it be someone else in the hotel?" Johnson thought to himself, but

I can't even figure out who that person is.

In fact, Mondley did not want to give up the action. As he said, he was not afraid that Bucket would find out about this. But once the other party had an additional spell caster hiding in the dark, the situation would be different.

"Who knows what class or class that spellcaster is, he is in bad luck this time." Mondley thought while looking at Bucket, waiting for the other party to reply.

"What's wrong, Bucket?" At this time, Leon Connor also walked out of the door. When he saw Mondley, he was instantly dumbfounded. He took a few steps back and said in shock, "Mondley? Are you Mondley?"

Deli?”

Mondelli glanced at Leon Connor and sighed secretly.

Because he is usually responsible for combat, his reputation is much greater than that of Johnson, who is his companion.

"Mondley? I remember that your bounty was as high as two hundred and fifty gold coins." Hearing this, Bucket raised his eyebrows and looked at Mondley and said.

"Don't go too far, Bucket." Johnson heard this and shouted loudly.

"Do you mean to fight me?" Mondelli also rubbed his fists and said coldly.

"Of course, I am a righteous bounty hunter. I will not let you go unpunished." When Bucket said this, he suddenly raised his head, looked around, and then said something without beginning or end.

If I say, "Please!"

"Is that spell caster really working with you? He's hidden deep enough..." Johnson looked at Bucket and gritted his teeth.

"Oh, that one, actually I just learned of his existence." Bucket smiled, and pushed the unaware Leon Connor into the door and locked him inside.

Just as he finished all this, several light balls suddenly appeared next to Mondley and Johnson, just surrounding them.

"It's begun..." Bucket saw this and said with a smile.
