Chapter 44 [Sue Five Shadows] (2nd update! Please follow up)

 The middle-aged nobleman is named Bernard, and his father was once a baron in the North.

　　When he was very young, his gambling father sold his barony and the family moved to Icewind City.

This made him full of hostility towards his father. It was his father who prevented him from becoming a noble fief noble and had to live with these lowly commoners in the crowded Icewind City.

Therefore, he has been practicing hard since he was a child, and successfully became an official knight. He practiced the ancestral breathing method to the highest level and killed his father, a gambler.

When he was young, Bernard accidentally came into contact with the faith of the Lord of Shadows, and soon became a believer of the Lord of Shadows. With his strength as a mid-level knight, he joined the Voice of the Death Bird, and gradually became a disciple of the Lord of Shadows. Silver Assassin of Dead Birds.

The assassin system of The Voice of Death Bird is divided into bronze, silver, gold, and shadow-level assassins with transcendent status.

The three assassins of gold, silver and bronze all need to be assessed and evaluated. They are similar to professional titles. Generally speaking, if you have the strength of a low-level knight and have completed five successful assassination missions, you can become a bronze assassin; a silver medal requires an intermediate level. Knight strength, and fifteen successful assassinations; the gold medal requires high-level, or even peak knight strength, and more than thirty successful assassinations.

As for the shadow-level assassins, there are only five of them in the whole world, and they are called the "Five Shadows". They are the closest beings to the Lord of Shadows, and they are the agents of the Lord of Shadows in the world!

At the same time, they are also five real great knights!

 No one knows the true identity of the "Five Shadows" because the members of the Death Bird Voice organization and the Five Shadows will always have a single line of contact.

 Their superficial identity may be a wealthy businessman, or they may be a certain earl, or even a grand duke. In short, they are extremely mysterious.

“Illusion Demon has been a bronze medal killer for so long and yet he has failed. Baron Levi has some strength and cannot be underestimated.”

Time gradually comes to night, and the stars emerge.

Bernard put on his night clothes, and his whole body seemed to blend perfectly with the dark night. Based on the information provided by the broker, he sneaked towards Levi's location.

Bernard's title within the organization is "Shadow Hunter", which is related to the breathing method he practices. He does not practice the Siren Breathing Method, but the blood breathing method passed down from his family's ancestors: the Shadow Leopard Breathing Method. This is A breathing method that is the ultimate in dexterity and stealth.

In Knight Bernard's view, the Phantom Knight's failure was most likely due to carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. Otherwise, how could Baron Levi, who was only in his teens, be the opponent of a formal knight who was good at assassination.

“After completing this mission, we can stop. After saving more than three thousand gold coins, we should be able to redeem the family fiefdom.”

 Bernard murmured in his heart that he had waited for this moment for too long.

 …

 The Shining Tavern.

Livy purchased a glass of "unnamed wine" commemorating the Knight of a Thousand Faces.

The landlady was still bored, holding her chin and drinking a small drink.

The knights, swordsmen, and nobles wearing masks who were coming and going were all 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 Boar Rider in the mouth of Fred Knight, the leader of the Boar Gang.

 He is now a member of the Wilderness Brotherhood, and his status may not be low.

"Why was the supply a little short some time ago?" When he came to Levi, the Hog Rider frowned and said.

 “I was a little busy some time ago.” Levi said. "I can feel that you seem to be stronger than before." The Hog Rider looked at "Geralt the White Wolf" and whispered.

Li Wei did not speak, but asked: "Have you brought the money?"

Seeing that the white wolf Geralt had no intention of talking to him, the Wild Boar Knight was not angry at all. He took out the money and showed it to Levi. The gold coins made a crisp clanking sound in the bag.

Levi took the Wild Boar Rider to the delivery location outside the city and delivered the goods.

After all, there were too many armors and weapons involved, and it was very inconvenient to enter the city, so Levi later made an appointment with the Wild Boar Rider, and the two parties traded at a location chosen by Levi outside the city, and only met at the Shining Tavern.

 With his current strength, he doesn’t have to worry about being robbed by the Hog Rider.

Wild Boar Rider asked people to load the goods into the truck, and then said: "The quality of your armor is very good. It can be seen that you should be a very talented blacksmith. If you join my organization, we will give you more With more helpers, we can give blacksmiths like you a stage to display your talents, and maybe you can become a legendary craftsman like Flame Hammer."

 Levi shook his head: "No need."

The Boar Rider saw that there was no chance of being invited again, so he left angrily.

"You guys go back to the territory first, I still have some things to do." Levi said to his soldiers.

 “Good Lord.”

 …

Levi returned to the Shining Tavern. When he was trading with the Wild Boar Knight just now, Levi could clearly feel that the Wild Boar Knight, who once oppressed him, was now calm and relaxed when facing the other party. Yes, if he really takes action, he is confident of killing the opponent.

It's just that that's not necessary. Even if the Hog Rider is his enemy, this enemy can bring him benefits at the moment. There are no eternal friends, only eternal benefits.

After staying in the Shining Tavern for a long time, Levi did not find the knight selling ambergris. He planned to stay in Icewind City for a few days. If the other party did not come in the past few days, Levi would have to find other ways to do it. Ambergris.

Li Wei didn't know that he had been targeted by a silver medal assassin who wanted to sue Bird Voice.

Levi, who was bored, decided to take a look at the tasks on the bounty column to see if he could obtain ambergris by posting bounty tasks.

Not long after, he saw a task related to ambergris. A nobleman was also purchasing ambergris. The task was issued three months ago, but no one has completed it yet.

Seeing this, Levi looked ugly. There is a high probability that there is no chance of buying ambergris through a bounty commission. These days, ambergris is becoming more and more difficult to obtain. It is all because of that **** white horse knight who was promoted to a legend. He actually monopolized all the ambergris!

“If there’s still nothing in two days, I might have to make a trip to the Tuva Empire.”

 Levi did not want to go to the Tuva Empire unless it was absolutely necessary. A strange environment was always accompanied by unknown risks.

While he was disappointed, Levi found a mission on a bounty board in the corner that made his eyes shine.

  [Due to the need to perform tasks, recruiting a formal knight requires superb archery skills. ]

 [Entrustment reward: a bottle of ambergris (can be converted into gold coins of the same value)]

(PS: In the same reply, there will be breathing method fusion later in the book, but it has not been written yet. Don’t be impatient. Also, I beg you to read it. The author is breaking out in the third update today! Please mess with me! I will read it on Tuesday. Very important!)
