Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 90 The Assassination Mission
Chapter 90 - 90 The Assassination Mission
Ten minutes later.
...
Sulian, stained with blood, walked out of the forest alone.
Those dirty adventurers who would attack a twelve-year-old child for the sake of profit had no intention of being spared from the very beginning. Their only value was to provide useful information under the threat of death.
This way of obtaining information was much more effective than other channels.
He was also very satisfied with this result in his heart.
Sure enough, in a relatively small country, the amount of information that adventurers could know was quite good.
It's just a pity that what they knew mainly focused on the livelihood of the people. As for military information, it still had to be obtained from more professional people. So, the goal for these few days was on these guys, to fill in all the information about people's livelihood.
Thinking like this, Sulian directly started meditating on the spot.
He had consumed some magic power just now. Obviously, he couldn't continue to do adventurer tasks so recklessly. He needed to restore his state as a priority.
...
Doing tasks, contacting adventurers, and obtaining all kinds of information he needed.
Either by coercion or by luring with benefits, to obtain everything he wanted.
He almost had an understanding of the livelihood situation of the entire Kingdom of Rankow.
Which district was rich or poor, which noble had high power and status or had committed countless crimes, he could almost find out. Because these adventurers were the ones who truly lived in this country, and they knew the most ordinary appearance of this country best.
The appearance of this country that was plagued by war and where the people lived in misery.
...
Three days passed.
...
"This is for today." Sulian took out the corresponding magic crystals and cores, as well as medicinal herbs, ores, and so on.
These were all obtained by him according to the military tasks in the past few days, ranging from the third level to the sixth level.
"You're really quick." The uncle at the counter didn't look as unpleasant as before.
Because in these three days, he would give 10% of the task reward in gold coins every day.
And those guys who wanted to play tricks all never came back.
"This is today's." Sulian gave 10% of the reward as usual.
"You're so generous, young man. But basically, all the types of tasks you wanted have been completed by you. The remaining ones are basically very difficult and troublesome. Are you interested in taking some other tasks?" The uncle at the counter asked with a smile.
"Yes, assassination tasks." Sulian said directly.
The expression of the uncle at the counter changed, and he looked at the other guys in the hall.
"For this kind of task, please come to the second floor." The uncle at the counter motioned.
At the same time, he also motioned for someone else to temporarily take over his work at the counter, and then personally led Sulian upstairs.
Assassination tasks were basically available in the adventurer's guild, but they were also basically not placed on the surface. This kind of dirty work generally wouldn't be casually given to ordinary adventurers to take. But obviously, an exception was made here.
Money was indeed a good thing for bribery.
...
On the second floor, in a special room, various magic arrays such as anti-detection ones were set up here.
"Sir, what type of assassination task do you want? Let me make it clear first. Regarding the rules, you can only state your requirements and then I'll get the tasks for you. You can only view at most two assassin tasks at a time, and once you view them, you must accept one of them. If you don't comp
lete the task, you will not be allowed to accept any related tasks in the future." The uncle at the counter directly explained the rules.
Sulian roughly knew these rules, which were similar to those in the Kingdom of Aivisu.
The reason for such trouble was very simple. The adventurer's guild was naturally afraid that someone would deliberately send people to test what assassination tasks there were, so as to obtain information in this regard and prevent assassinations.
If the information leaked, wouldn't the success rate of other adventurers who took assassination tasks drop significantly? Reputation and interests would all suffer huge losses!
So, for newbies, at most two tasks that meet the requirements would be shown at one time.
And once you view them, you must accept them!
If you don't complete the task, you don't need to accept any more in the future.
This was also to prevent people from using various methods to repeatedly accept tasks in order to obtain information about each assassination task.
Of course, after getting familiar with this aspect, according to the different standards of each adventurer's guild, the number of tasks that can be viewed at one time will also increase, and there will also be the right to give up. Moreover, even if you unfortunately fail, it won't affect the accep
tance of subsequent tasks.
"Understood. I need assassination tasks of military personnel or nobles. The more hateful the target, the better." Sulian said directly.
Military personnel or nobles?
The uncle at the counter was taken aback. Didn't he seem to be a young master who would take tasks for the military according to his previous performance?
How come...
"The rules." Sulian repeated coldly.
Assassination tasks have rules for adventurers, and adventurers also have rules for the guild. That is, when they request what kind of assassination task, the guild only needs to give an answer of whether there is such a task or not. If there is, the guild should directly find it. The guild is not a
llowed to ask any reasons and details related to the adventurer.
"Then please wait a moment." The uncle at the counter quickly understood.
...
The uncle at the counter used a magic item to retrieve various special task plates from the wall. The confidentiality level of these task plates was extremely high.
Even with Sulian's spiritual power as a fifth-level Magician, he couldn't directly spy on the content of them. Unless he got the task plate in his hand and analyzed it with magic power, he would have a chance to know.
"These are fifth-level task targets, which are respectively a count noble and a count-level military officer."
The uncle at the counter gave two task plates, but he didn't unlock the magic sequence on them immediately. Instead, he placed them in front of him temporarily.
"I declare in advance that the targets should be in their own homes or camps in the near future. The difficulty of assassination is quite high among fifth-level tasks. If you think there is a problem, you still have a chance to exchange them for two fourth-level tasks now." The uncle at the counter
said seriously.
"Give them to me." Sulian didn't hesitate.
The uncle at the counter didn't say anything more. He directly unlocked the magic sequences of the two task plates and let Sulian view the task contents.
The meaning of a fifth-level task target was that the strength of the target was at the fifth level. This usually didn't calculate the target's guards, the knight mechas that could be used, and the special magic items and forged weapons that the target owned, and so on.
Even if the target held a divine weapon and could drive a ninth-level knight mecha, as long as he had a strength of the fifth level, he was a fifth-level target!
Therefore, in assassination tasks, there were also additional marked difficulty levels.
And these two tasks were both at the sixth level among the difficulty levels from one to nine. They were all important people with protection. One of them was likely to be in a military camp, and it would be very difficult to sneak in and assassinate.
"Okay, I'll take the task of the military officer. There's no problem with delivering the task in the corresponding city, right?" Sulian asked.
"Naturally, there's no problem. The employer has no special requirements." The uncle at the counter said.
"Then give me the relevant detailed information. I'll set off now." Sulian said.
"Sure."
The uncle at the counter reached out and used a magic item to unlock the subsequent magic sequence. The remaining information related to the target, such as what weapons the target had, what abilities the target was good at, and when it was better to take action, and so on, could only be viewed after confirming the acceptance of the ta
sk.
Sulian roughly scanned the content that emerged later.
"Okay, there's no problem. Then goodbye." Sulian nodded.
"Have a safe journey." The uncle at the counter said.
There was no excessive inquiry, just a simple task acceptance.
...
Sulian left the Adventurer's Guild.
And he rented a magical beast horse and quickly rushed towards the city where the target was located.
I have to say that after getting used to the magic-powered vehicles in the Kingdom of Aivisu, the transportation here is really bad!
Fortunately, the magical beast horses were domesticated from third-level breeding magical beasts, and they were quite good at long-distance running. The only disadvantage was that they were expensive. For people who didn't have the habit of riding horses, it would be good if they could walk normally
after riding for a long time. This thing runs very wildly.
If he wasn't in a hurry, Sulian really didn't want to ride this thing.
...
At night, Sulian, who had rushed to the Kworton District in the east of the Kingdom of Rankow in a hurry.
At this moment, he was using magic to adjust his state. After riding the magical beast horse and running for three hours in a row, even with his werewolf physique, he could hardly hold on.
After a while, Sulian stood up and looked at the military camp in the distance at the bottom of the slope from under a big tree.
The task target, according to the military officer rank division of the Kingdom of Rankow, for the sake of convenience, was directly divided according to the title rank - count level.
Quaid Carne.
A fifth-level warrior, proficient in fire and earth attribute battle qi and combat skills, belonged to the troublesome type with both attack and defense. Of course, the disadvantage was also quite obvious. When fighting alone, he would seem to lack flexibility. So, it could be said that his strength
was specially trained for the army.
He usually went to rest after drinking around ten o'clock at night, and the location of his tent had been roughly marked in the task.
Obviously, with such relatively accurate information of various kinds, it should be an assassination task issued by an adjutant or a competitor no matter how one thought about it. But this point was no longer important. He just needed to complete this task.
At the same time, Sulian also just wanted to see whether the army they were about to face was a bunch of weaklings or had some strength.
However...

...
"Tsk!"
Sulian made a slight sound of extreme dissatisfaction.
Why?
Because at this moment, he was already in the temporarily built house of the garrison outside the city, in the bedroom of that Quaid Carne. And that unlucky military officer had already been shot in the head and killed by Sulian with a pistol attached with a silencing magic while he was sleeping.
At this moment, Sulian was extremely speechless in his heart.
Really speechless!
What kind of crappy army is this?
I just used the Dark Night Invisibility of dark magic, combined with the special blood battle skill of werewolves to hide my movement breath, and I actually managed to sneak into this military officer's room without any pressure.
Although this wasn't the front line!
Although the patrol outside was a bit slack!
Although the personal guards at the door were sleeping soundly!
But damn it...
Didn't you even install an alarm magic item in the room!?
Who are you looking down on!?
Huh!?
...
"Forget it, leave it as it is."
"This kind of army is best left for the soldiers to practice on later. It would be a waste of my precious alchemical metals and inscription magic to destroy them with the Nostalgia Bombs!"
"It's so boring."
Sulian directly cut off the target's head and used a long spear weapon to pierce through the place where the bullet had shot, creating the effect of a one-hit kill with a long spear.
He simply used magic to cover up his aura to avoid being discovered too early, and then he directly left here.
The military discipline of the main army group might be much better, but this place is really bad!
...
The target.
The Adventurer's Guild in the Kworton District, to submit the task.
