Chapter 157 - 0157: The Thief (Three More Requests for Subscriptions)
“So, did you find Gered?”
Upon leaving the underground boxing ring, Geli immediately asked.
“Found him!”
Su Lu nodded.
He had just probed, this woman was not a bad person and didn’t have any ill intentions.
If so, there was a place for cooperation.
“Gered, he’s in a makeshift camp on the outskirts of Charles City… but, if what just happened spreads, he might quickly change his mind…”
“So, we have to be rapid!” Geli clenched her fists: “I have to find my teacher right away!”
She looked at Su Lu, somewhat apologetic.
“No problem, go ahead!”
Su Lu waved his hand.
It seemed that the identity of her teacher was indeed very sensitive.
Otherwise, she would definitely bring him along, not showing this kind of expression.
“Thank you… If this mission succeeds, I will remember to give you a share of the bounty.”
Geli sincerely thanked, whistled, and a horse emerged like a ghost in the night, carrying her away.
“It looks like… Geli’s teacher, is not an official person!”
Su Lu watched her back, changed his direction, and prepared to ambushed near the valley first.
Whatever happens then, will be clear.
“Actually… Geli may guess what I’m doing. Is this her way of allowing me to watch?”
As soon as he thought about it, he did it.
Su Lu immediately followed the acquired directions and ambushed near a valley outside Charles.
The area is surrounded by plains, with occasional bandit patrols. Once they go deep, they will definitely be noticed.
And Geli’s teacher did not disappoint him.
As dawn was about to arrive, at the darkest time.
Su Lu, who was lying under a cactus, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the valley.
From there, a faint disturbance came.
A large group of bandits rushed out on horseback, chasing the shadow in front.
But the other party ran too fast, as if fused with the horse, cleverly avoiding the shooting, and occasionally counter-attacks which kept reducing the cowboys.
“Using the advantage of speed… this is kite tactics… this teacher of Geli…”
Su Lu stared at the chased person, discovering that he was dressed like a cowboy, but wore a mask engraved with the symbol ‘Z’, the logo was very striking.
“Is that… the robber Zoren? The second top thief in the bounty list? Didn’t Geli want to catch him before? Why did she take him as a teacher then?”
Su Lu was a bit puzzled: “And also, this robber, according to his profession, should be… [Dark Night Knight]! Could it be that Geli’s profession was obtained from him, thereby establishing a connection? It looks like, it really is this black market thing… the timing just fits!”
[Knight] Path!
This is one of the strongest branches in the [Soldier] system in ancient times.
[Soldier] – [Cavalry] – [Knight] – [Dark Night Knight]!
Of course, when it comes to [Knight], there are branches of job-switching, such as switching to the master level [Heavy Cavalry Knight]!
Zoren the robber, chooses the dark night job switch, becoming the Knight of Night!
This switched occupational person is good at using the power of darkness, and has mastered some dark amplification spells and aura abilities.
In the later stages, they easily gain the favor of some dark attribute transcendent creatures, such as — Night Charm!
Once they can complete the taming of the transcendent mount, they will get the key to the promotion legend.
Of course, the most famous one in this series is [Dragon Knight]! This is a profession no worse than the legendary [Dragon Shepherd]!
Su Lu’s expression turned serious at once, lying in the yellow sand, staring at the battlefield.
Bang bang!
Gunshots continued to sound.
There are many transcendent among Gered’s bandits, there are also many [Gunfighters]!
Many bullets took weird turns in mid-air and hit the target accurately.
But it was useless!
On Zoren’s body, a black cloak floated up, protecting both him and his mount. The bullets rubbed against it without any effect.
—Night’s Curtain!
The master-level spell defense is not something that ordinary firearms can break through.
His mount was also very spiritual, suddenly making a turn, cooperating with its master for a counterattack.
At this moment, Su Lu realized that the outlaw Zoren was actually using a crossbow!
In his hands, a crossbow resembling a single-handed crossbow exhibited unparalleled terrifying power!
Zing!
The crossbow bolt shot out like a black lightning bolt, not only piercing the horse of the pursuers behind, but also grazing the vital part of a second-rank professional hiding behind the horse’s neck.
“Magic item?”
Su Lu’s pupil shrank.
This kind of penetration power could not be explained by ordinary mechanics.
After this arrow, the pursuers reined their horses, not daring to move forward anymore.
Su Lu glanced around and found it odd: “Why are there just a bunch of first and second ranks? Where is Gered?”
But at this moment, it was not a question of whether the pursuers would give up, but whether Zoren would spare them.
The knight in the night turned his horse and came to a halt, swiftly replacing the crossbow bolt and aiming at another bandit.
Whoosh!
The crossbow bolt from the Night’s Crossbow penetrated another bandit’s chest, pinning him dead to the ground.
“What a great opportunity!”
Su Lu glanced at the status bar, after the previous night’s slaughtering, his experience points surpassed a thousand, which was enough to switch his job to [Odd Technician].
However, when it came to experience, of course, the more, the better.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and his soul quickly left his body.
He did not enter the Mental Realm, but directly in the real world, he proceeded towards the bandits who had chased out of the canyon.
Under these circumstances, apart from Zoren, no one would notice him.
At the end of the large pursuit team, a white chain suddenly appeared around the neck of a first-rank professional, and he screamed as he fell off his horse.
He screamed once, and then there was no sound.
“There’s an ambush!” “It’s an invisible professional!”
“Be careful… it’s a Spiritual Body!”
A spellcaster warned, his gaze turned to Su Lu’s position, and he raised his hand, throwing a fireball.
Boom!
Fire exploded, causing Su Lu’s spiritual body to slightly vibrate.
His expression turned cold, first he dodged the following attacks, then he swung his right hand.
The tip of the Spirit Chain hit the spellcaster’s head, hooking out a semi-transparent soul.
The Spirit Chain was especially good at changing between the real and the unreal. When intangible, it could harm the spiritual bodies when tangible, it could harm the physical objects.
This characteristic of transformation caught the spellcaster off guard.
Originally, there was a defensive field around the spellcaster that could deflect any attack, but for this kind of intangible attacks, there was absolutely no defense.
“Just a mere first-rank!”
Su Lu snorted coldly, ignoring his pleas for mercy, he dropped his spirit oppression, crushing his spirit into shreds.
On the other side, Zoren too did not miss this opportunity. With every crossbow bolt fired, a bandit lost his life.
Finally, the morale of this team of dozens of people suddenly collapsed. The remaining bandits scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives. “So you are… the kid Geli mentioned?”
Zoren stopped his horse, staring at Su Lu’s spiritual body: “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome!”
Su Lu smiled, then suddenly his expression changed as he looked towards the direction of the canyon..
