Chapter 44 [Five Kages of Death] (Part 2! Please follow up)
The middle-aged nobleman was named Bernard, and his father was once a baron in the Northland.
When he was very young, his gambling dog father sold his baronial fief, and the whole family moved to live in Icewind City.
This made him full of hostility towards his father. It was his father who made him unable to become a noble fief noble, and could only live with these lowly commoners in the crowded Icewind City.
So, he has been working hard since he was a child, and he has successfully become an official knight, practiced the ancestral breathing method to the highest level, and killed his gambling father.
When he was young, Bernard came into contact with the belief of the Lord of Shadows by accident, and soon became a believer of the Lord of Shadows. With the strength of his middle-level knight, he joined the Voice of the Death Bird, and gradually became the voice of the Lord of Shadows. Silver Assassin of the Voice of Dead Birds.
The assassin system of the Voice of the Dead Bird is divided into bronze medals, silver medals, gold medals, and shadow-level assassins with a transcendent status.
The gold, silver and bronze medal assassins all need to be assessed and evaluated, similar to professional titles. Generally speaking, those who have the strength of a low-level knight and have completed five successful assassination missions can become a bronze medal assassin; Knight strength, and fifteen successful assassinations; a gold medal requires high-level, even peak knight strength, and more than thirty successful assassinations.
As for the shadow-level assassins, there are only five of them in the Voice of the Death Bird, known as the "Five Shadows of Death", they are the closest existence to the Lord of Shadows, and they are the Lord of Shadows' agents in the world!
At the same time, they are also five real great knights!
No one knows the true identity of the "Five Kages", because members of the Voice of the Dead Birds organization and the Five Kages are always in a single-line connection.
Their superficial identities may be wealthy businessmen, or they may be a certain earl, or even a grand duke. In short, they are extremely mysterious.
"The Illusory Demon has been a bronze medal killer for so long, but he has missed. Then Baron Li Wei has some strength, so he should not underestimate the enemy."
Time gradually came to night, and the stars emerged.
Bernard put on his night clothes. His whole body seemed to blend perfectly with the dark night. According to the information provided by the broker, he sneaked towards the place where Levi was.
Bernard's title in the organization is "Shadow Hunter", which is related to the breathing method he practiced. He is not practicing the siren breathing method, but the blood breathing method passed down by his family: the shadow leopard breathing method, which is A breathing method of extreme dexterity and stealth.
In Knight Bernard's view, the Illusory Demon Knight's miss is most likely due to carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. Otherwise, Baron Levi, who is only in his teens, could be the opponent of a formal knight who is good at assassination.
"After completing this task, you can stop. If you have saved more than 3,000 gold coins, you should be able to redeem the family's fiefdom."
Bernard whispered in his heart, he had waited too long for this moment.
…
Shine Tavern.
Li Wei bought a glass of "unknown wine" commemorating the Knight of Thousand Faces.
The proprietress is still bored, holding her chin and drinking a small wine.
The knights, swordsmen, and nobles wearing masks who came and went were chatting in twos and threes in this tavern.
Not long after, a burly knight in armor also walked in. It was the knight who traded with Li Wei.
That is, the Hog Rider in the mouth of Fred Knight, the leader of the Wild Boar Gang.
He is now a member of the Brotherhood of the Wilderness, and his status may not be low.
"Why was the supply a little while ago?" When he came to Li Wei's side, the Hog Rider said with a frown.
"I was a little busy a while ago," Li Wei said.
"I can feel that you seem to be stronger than before." Hog Rider looked at "Geralt the White Wolf" and said in a low voice.
Li Wei did not speak, but asked, "Have you brought any money?"
Seeing that Geralt the White Wolf didn't intend to talk to him, the Hog Rider wasn't angry at all. He took out the money and showed it to Li Wei. The gold coins made a crisp crashing sound in the bag.
Li Wei took the Hog Rider to the delivery location outside the city to deliver the goods.
After all, there are too many armors and weapons involved, and it is very inconvenient to enter the city, so Li Wei later made an appointment with the Wild Boar Rider. The two parties traded at the place Li Wei selected outside the city, but only met at the Shining Tavern.
With his current strength, he doesn't have to worry about being robbed by the boar rider.
The Hog Rider asked people to load these goods into the car, and then said: "Your armor is of good quality. It can be seen that you should be a very talented blacksmith. If you join my organization, we will give you more More helpers, give a blacksmith like you a stage to display your talents, maybe you can become a legendary craftsman like Hammer of Fire."
Li Wei shook his head: "No need."
The boar rider saw that it was useless to invite again, so he left angrily.
"Go back to the territory first, I still have some things to do." Li Wei said to his soldiers.
"Good Lord Lord."
…
Li Wei returned to the Shining Tavern again. When he was trading with the Wild Boar Rider just now, Li Wei could clearly feel that the Wild Boar Rider, who used to feel oppressive towards him, was now calm when facing the opponent. Yes, if he really does, he is confident to kill the opponent.
It's just that that's unnecessary. Even if the Hog Rider is his enemy, this enemy can bring him benefits at present. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
After staying in Shining Tavern for a long time, Li Wei did not find the knight who sold ambergris. He planned to stay in Icewind City for a few days. If the other party did not come these days, Li Wei had to find other ways to do it. Ambergris was gone.
Li Wei didn't know that he had been targeted by a silver medal assassin who sued the voice of the dead bird.
The bored Li Wei decided to look at the tasks on the reward list, and wanted to see if he could get ambergris through the channel of posting reward tasks.
Not long after, he saw a task related to ambergris. A nobleman was also buying ambergris. The commission was issued three months ago, and no one has completed it yet.
Seeing this, Li Wei's expression turned ugly. It is highly unlikely that buying ambergris by offering a reward entrusts him with it. These days, ambergris is becoming more and more difficult to obtain. It's all because of that damned knight on a white horse who was promoted to a legend. He actually monopolizes all the ambergris!
"If there is still nothing in two days, I might have to go to the Tuva Empire."
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Wei didn’t want to go to the Tuva Empire. An unfamiliar environment was always accompanied by unknown risks.
While disappointed, Li Wei found a task that caught his eye on a reward column in the corner.
[Due to the need to perform tasks, recruit an official knight, requiring superb archery skills. ]
[Entrustment reward: a bottle of ambergris (can be converted into gold coins of the same value)]
(PS: Reply at the same time, there will be breathing method integration later in this book, but it hasn’t been written yet, don’t worry, everyone, and ask for a follow-up, the author is breaking out in the middle of the night today! Please mess with me! Tuesday’s follow-up Crucial!)
