Soul Echo

"Are you sure?" Zhong Ye put his fingers together, held the gold coin, and looked directly at the woman sitting opposite him, "Is that the one who was assassinated a few days ago?"

The woman in the mask hesitated, "...to be precise, three days ago."

Paul's daughter disappeared five days ago, and the old lord was arrested three days ago. Assassination, and they met the traveling merchant team yesterday, and according to the traveling merchant team, it was two days after they left Montreux.

Now there is a bit of confusion about whether the death of the old lord is related to the disappearance of Paul's daughter.

Zhong Ye subconsciously associated two things together after hearing about it, and with his current perception attribute, there is a high probability that these two things can really be linked together.

What is mysterious is that with his current perception ability, he has been able to capture the 'track of destiny', able to put two seemingly unrelated things according to some inner meaning that he himself does not know. logically linked together.

Zhong Ye trusts his intuition, but now his intuition tells him that these two things may be related.

So, he is already thinking about what happened in those two days of vacancy.

Zhong Ye fell into contemplation, and the house became quiet.

Lilian, who was sitting beside him, watched the random guessing of the barrage, and also fell into thinking.

Although she admits that she is not as smart as Zhong Ye, but just like before, sooner or later, she will face difficulties by herself. At that time, if it is not a critical moment, Zhong Ye will just stand by and quietly. look at her.

So she has to 'prep' before her learning progress has reached that stage, so as not to be unable to cope with the 'surprise exam'.

After a long time, Zhong Ye raised his eyes, looked at the woman sitting opposite him, and asked, "How did you know this news?"

"We have our own The channel of the lord... well! Actually, someone of us found something, but that person has disappeared now, if nothing else, the death of the old lord is also related to him." Seeing that Zhong Ye took out the money bag again With ten gold coins, the masked woman immediately changed her tune.

hearing this, Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, "Is he in charge of gathering intelligence?"

"No..." The masked woman called the head, "We originally When absorbing him, he was trained as a combatant, but I don't know how he..."

She shrugged and didn't say any more.

But even if she didn't say it, Zhong Ye knew what the next words were.

He has learned about the general structure of thieves guilds, and he knows that they are generally engaged in intelligence business. Different from the name, thieves will no longer do petty theft. The thieves on the Internet will be their eyeliners, but the impossible is a member of the guild.

Retaining the title of 'thief' is not only to mislead, but also to remind the latecomers to respect the tradition and not forget the inheritance of stealing skills - you can not use it, but you can't do it without it.

Actually, many of the businesses of the Thieves Guild are extensions of the stealing skills. If they lose inheritance, they will not be able to do many things.

In addition to selling information, the Thieves Guild also undertakes assassination, letter delivery, and theft.

Although not every section has a professional Chief-In-Charge, generally speaking, the combatants have nothing to do with the other sections.

The members of the Thieves Guild are not all Rogues, they also absorb other professionals, because 'thieves' is just an identity, and can be one of all people's identities, in addition to the 'thieves' identity, they can also There are other identities, and multiple identities directly cover and use each other.

Because of this, combatants, commonly known as 'thugs', rarely have access to the secrets of the guild, unless they have made great contributions to the guild.

That's why the masked woman wondered why the thug could know that the disappearance of Paul's daughter had something to do with the old lord.

Zhong Ye was keenly aware that she used 'disappearance' instead of 'death' when describing the combatant, and thinking that the army of the lord of Montreux had been searching the city these days, Then he asked: "Is that person very strong?"

"No." The woman wearing the mask shrugged her shoulders, "I have seen him, the only difference between him and the gangster is his He is more agile, and in terms of combat experience, he is no different from a gangster."

So, how did such a person escape after assassinating the old lord?

Zhong Ye thought it was necessary for him to learn more about the death of the old lord, and took out three Silver Coins from his purse, "Tell me how and where the old lord died. Damn, how did that person escape."

Looking at the three Silver Coins with some pain, the masked woman took a deep breath, shook her head and said, "These news, you don't need that much. , take it as a giveaway to the previous news - first, he was assassinated in the street, under the protection of a group of guards and a transcender; second, he died outside the site where the adventurer's house was under construction; finally, we I don’t know how that person escaped.”

You can find out if you ask anyone about these questions after you go out, and the adventurer in front of you has become an important customer of them, which is related to the three Silver Coins. Compared, reputation is more important, maybe they will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Zhong Ye stood up and tossed it casually. Ten gold coins flew out one after another. Before the masked woman and the other two thieves could reach out, the gold coins fell into her hands and piled up in a pile. , stood firmly in her palm.

Seeing this hand, the pupils of the three suddenly dilated, and immediately felt that they had one's hair stand on end.

——They all know what this stack of gold coins represents!

lifts the head, and saw that the tall adventurer took the little girl out of the house without even saying hello.

As soon as she walked out of the house, Lillian couldn't wait to ask: "teacher, did you guess what?"

"...No." Zhong Ye shook his head.

He did guess something, but those guesses were unspoken.

The whole event timeline begins with the disappearance of Paul's daughter five days ago, followed by the assassination of the old lord two days later, his elder son inherited the lordship on the same day, and began to order the outsider to be searched. .

Zhong Ye didn't ask about the combatant's background, because the new lord may have known his identity from the Thieves Guild, so he targeted 'Outlander'.

It has been confirmed that the person who assassinated the old lord was an 'outlander', and then the place of death of the old lord was outside the construction site of the adventurer's house - why is it there?

Because the Adventurer House in Montreux is nearing completion!

When going to the 'Xiyong's Lake' station, Zhong Ye had already seen the construction site from a distance. Unlike reality, the masons of Dan World did not enclose the construction site when they built the building. They Without that safety awareness, and as far as the construction technology of Dan world is concerned, it is impossible for falling objects to occur.

So, as an ordinary thug in the Thieves Guild, how did that person know that the disappearance of Paul's daughter was related to the old lord, how did he know that the old lord would go to the construction site of the adventurer's house, and, How did you escape from being surrounded by so many people?

All of this seems unreasonable. It stands to reason that with the ability of that person, it is impossible to do these things.

But if these things are done by the 'player', then everything can be explained!

——This assassination was done by not only one player, but two or more players!

At least one player joined Siyon Fort, and then learned the secret of the old lord. Instead of meeting in the game, he contacted in reality and carried out this assassination.

As for why Assassin was able to escape from being surrounded by numerous guards, this is better explained.

Because players don't get 'killed' until their resurrection counts are exhausted, all who kill them or monsters will have their memories distorted, creating an unfathomable mystery for players to escape and survive illusion.

Zhong Ye already knew this during the internal test, so when all the information was clear, he immediately realized that the person who did these things was the 'player'!

They have already begun to influence the process of the world - even if it is just Montreux, a small city-state that is not ranked in the Western Continent.

However, it was only a few months before they entered this world.

Now they have been able to use the player's characteristic assassination to create a 'perfect' assassination for the aborigines, so what about in the future?
