Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

The other three who were scratched, although still alive, were all ignited by the fire and rolled on the ground in pain trying to put out the flames.

Jiang Ran took a quick look and saw that the direct hit of the "Blue Flame Horse" caused about 1000 points of damage, and the scratch damage was also 300 to 500 points, which was astonishingly powerful.

While the enemy was still asleep, Jiang Ran raised his Fir Tree Demon Hunting Bow and shot an arrow at each of them, then walked straight to Kive who was lying on the ground.

This guy was scared out of his wits.

"Jiwei, who did you just say you wanted to get rid of?" Jiang Ran asked.

"I, I, I was wrong! I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. Sir, please be magnanimous and spare my life. My family is rich, so please give me a price..."

Looking at Ji Wei kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Jiang Ran felt that it was meaningless.

He has seen many people like this. If he lets him go now, he will definitely come back for revenge when he has the ability in the future.

To deal with such people, the only way to eliminate the trouble forever is to cut the weeds at the root.

"100 gold coins, can you afford it?"

Jiang Ran put the Black Sword Flame Horse on Jiwei's neck and asked coldly.

——『Combat Class Skill [Trickster - Lv10] has been activated and is currently in effect...』

5.7 - Robbing the Rich to Help Yourself (Part )

"One, one, one hundred gold coins?!"

Kiwi was so frightened that he almost screamed at the top of his lungs. Who could come up with such an astronomical sum?!

"Yes, one hundred gold coins. If you can't come up with it, you will die here."

The unidentified archer replied without emotion.

"Wait, wait a minute! Let me think about it! My dad is the mayor! He's very rich!!"

Regardless of whether he can get 100 gold coins or not, Kivi now has to buy time for a while.

Although Kivi doesn't have much strength, thanks to his wealthy and powerful family, he has seen many second- and third-level masters.

Because a few thugs blocked his view, Kiwi didn't see how the blue flame was released.

But judging from common sense, Kiwi felt that it was probably magic.

With just one spell, he killed two second-level "professional mercenaries" and seriously injured three second-level "professional mercenaries". Such power must be a third-level magic.

Anyone who can control third-level magic so skillfully, even if not third-level, is at least at the top of second-level.

With Kivi's own power and the men in service under his father Kilian's command, it would be difficult to find anyone to deal with this "archer" in a short period of time. Fortunately, this guy quoted a price. As long as the problem can be solved with money, Kivi will find a way.

"This... so many gold coins... I have to go back home before I can give them to you." Kiwi said hypocritically.

In fact, his house didn't even have 100 gold coins, let alone 10.

"Don't even think about going home, just give me the money right here.", the archer rejected the offer.

"If I can't go home, I only have a few dozen silver coins on me... My Lord, think about it, who would carry a hundred gold coins on them?!"

"Don't you have any hidden stash of money out there?"

"I, I don't have any hidden stash of money... My Lord... Just trust me! My father is Gillian, the mayor of Sunny Town. We can definitely get you 100 gold coins!"

Faced with the archers' refusal to budge, Kiwi gradually forgot his fear and his rogue nature began to take over.

He cursed in his heart, this archer is really difficult to deal with, he is so cautious.

However, Kivi does have a few small treasuries outside.

He hid two gold coins in his warehouse in Xicheng District and in the cellar of his house in Beicheng District in case of emergency.

He now thought that if all else failed, he would first trick the archer into one of the two places. As long as he entered the town, he would always be able to find a way to escape.

"Oh, I see."

For some reason, the archer suddenly said something like this... and then, his next words brought Kive, who thought he had a chance to survive, back to reality.

"Since you can't hand over 100 gold coins, then you can die."

Upon hearing this, Kive was so frightened that he quickly lay back on the ground, lowered his head and begged bitterly.

"Don't, don't kill me!"

However, the archer had already raised the black sword in his hand, and seemed determined to kill.

Kiwi had experience in killing people, and he immediately realized that begging for mercy was useless. Instead, he started roaring loudly, trying to threaten the other party to stop!

"Hey! I don't care who you are!"

"Do you know the consequences of killing the mayor's son?"

"If you kill me, my dad will definitely not let me go...!"

Before Kiwi could finish his words, his head was chopped off and fell to the ground.

His brain and nerves, which were not yet dead, allowed him to slowly utter the last two words.

"...you...!"

The archer swung his black sword once, shaking off the blood on the blade, before answering Kivi.

"Don't worry, Mayor, I won't let him go."

After the battle, Jiang Ran searched several people and found a total of 79 silver coins and 32 copper coins.

Except for Kivi, everyone else was dirt poor.

Then, based on his previous experience of hunting at night, Jiang Ran lured the wolves and gave them a good meal.

After this battle, Jiang Ran verified the value of the Black Sword Flame Horse.

As a first-level junior assassin who had reached the maximum level, Jiang Ran killed five second-level professional mercenaries with almost no effort. This was all thanks to the Black Sword Flame Horse.

Although these five professional mercenaries are only in their twenties, their vitality is relatively strong compared with other combat professions. Therefore, as long as Jiang Ran has the Black Sword and Flame Horse in his hand, he will have a chance to fight even against a full-level second-level or even early-level third-level enemy.

However, the Black Sword Flame Horse consumes a huge amount of mana. If Jiang Ran had not persisted in brushing up on his skill proficiency for a period of time, he probably wouldn't have been able to use even one "Blue Flame Horse".

Improving the maximum magic power will still be an important topic for Jiang Ran in the future.

After returning to Sunny Town, Jiang Ran immediately took away Kivi's private money in the two districts, a total of 4 gold coins.

He will not have any financial worries for some time to come.

Afterwards, Jiang Ran confirmed the situation of the task union from a distance and found that it was operating normally.

In addition, no one in Sunny Town is searching for Kivvy and the others' whereabouts yet. It is estimated that the mayor's forces will not gradually notice Kivvy and the others' "disappearance" until the next day or the day after tomorrow.

Jiang Ran returned to the hotel and used the remaining magic power to continue to improve his proficiency in "computing power improvement" while also making an antidote.

Jiang Ran's current production level is stable at a 50% success rate, and he can gain 1 point of pharmacist experience for each successful bottle.

Based on the calculation of trial-producing 200 bottles of antidote a day, Jiang Ran can gain 100 pharmacist experience points every day.

After completion, Jiang Ran will sell the antidote. After deducting the cost, he can make a profit of 2 copper coins per bottle. With 100 bottles added up, he can earn a stable profit of 2 silver coins a day, which is enough to cover Jiang Ran's daily expenses and have a surplus.

During the potion making process, the "computing power improvement" was successfully upgraded to level 5.

This daily routine will continue until Jiang Ran challenges the advanced trial.

That night, Jiang Ran invited Emilia to have dinner at the Cat Girl Restaurant, on the pretext of comforting and congratulating her.

Although Emilia is only temporarily taking over the Mission Guild, she is also considered the temporary branch director of the Mission Guild.

She had been busy all day and really didn't have the energy to go home and cook, so she accepted Jiang Ran's invitation.

When we arrived at the Cat Girl Cooking Stand, Grandma Cassie happened to be there too.

Banning originally just wanted to say hello, but he didn't expect Emilia to know Grandma Cassie.

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, little Emilia~"

"Hello, Grandma Cassie, nice to meet you."

Jiang Ran listened to the conversation and learned that the two were old acquaintances, but they had not seen each other for a long time because they had less overlap in work.

After greeting Emilia, Grandma Cassie immediately started teasing Jiang Ran.

"Banning, Banning~ It's only been a few days since we last met. Banning, you're quite good."

Although Grandma Cassie was old, her eyes were still sharp, and she could see the ambiguity between Banning and Emilia at a glance.

Jiang Ran didn't respond. In order to ease the awkward and shy atmosphere, Emilia took the initiative to invite Grandma Cassie to have dinner with them.

"Oh my~ Little Emilia, you even know how to take care of your own people."

"Grandma Cassie, what are you talking about...!"

In this joyful atmosphere, the three of them sat together.

Jiang Ran watched Emilia and Grandma Cassie chatting enthusiastically about the past, and suddenly had an idea.

A situation like tonight is actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

(It's time to...get to know Grandma Cathy.)

[img=675,1200]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2022/11/c857e3c3-3806-424c-8ea9-3b57f11e6ad5.jpg[/img]

5.8 - The Great Migration

"By the way, Grandma Cathy, are you feeling better?"

"Ah, much better. You're so thoughtful. No wonder Emilia likes you."

"C-Grandma Cassie, what are you talking about...!"

At the dinner table, Jiang Ran deliberately showed concern for Grandma Cathy's health.

In fact, last time, Jiang Ran had already known through mind reading that Grandma Cassie was pretending to be sick and staying in Sunny Town to monitor him.

If Banning hadn't asked her at this moment, Grandma Cassie would have almost forgotten that she had such a "setting".

But, ginger is indeed more spicy with age.

Grandma Cassie lightly brought the topic to the relationship between Benning and Emilia, so as to avoid accidentally letting the cat out of the bag.

Jiang Ran was not a pushover either. He didn't want the topic to focus on himself and Emilia, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, how did Grandma Cassie and Emilia know each other?"

This question seemed to be meant to help Emilia out, but in fact it was guiding the topic in the direction Jiang Ran wanted.

After a conversation, Jiang Ran learned that Grandma Cassie had worked as a paid hunter in the Quest Guild for a period of time. However, she only took on simple lost object commissions or wrote letters for others, which was consistent with her "personality" as a grandmother.

This made Jiang Ran even more curious as to why Grandma Cassie wanted to hide her identity as a level 67 "Mercenary Master".

What kind of past does Grandma Cassie have?

Afterwards, everyone talked about the reasons why they came to Sunny Town. Grandma Cassie admitted that she came here because of the "Great Migration".

Like many people, Grandma Cathy was separated from her family during the Great Migration.

While searching for her family, Grandma Cathy learned that her husband lived in Sunny Town, so she traveled a long distance to come. However, she did not expect that when she arrived in Sunny Town, her husband had already passed away and was buried.

Later, in order to find the rest of her family, Grandma Cassie joined a traveling caravan.

Grandma Cassie believed that if she traveled around with the caravan all day, she would have more opportunities to find out about her family.

(The Great Migration again...)

Jiang Ran really wanted to ask what the "Great Migration" was, but he was worried that Grandma Cassie would see through his identity after asking, so he had to hold it in for the time being.
