What everyone didn't know was that there were actually two other uninvited guests at the place where they left for the night.
It's just that their physiques are a bit special, one of them hid in the temporary plane, and the other melted into the shadows, even Qin Lun's staring halo couldn't find them.
As a hunter's exclusive skill, especially after the fusion of "Gannett's Left Eye", the staring aura is very reconnaissance. However, after all, Qin Lun is only at the middle level. No matter whether he can fight against the high-level plot or the legendary powerhouse, his own level is placed there. exempt.
After Qin Lun and the others left, the two tails following them appeared separately. Linda stared fiercely at the opposite figure, her always gentle and pleasant face was full of disgust, "What bounty mission did you accept this time?"
"Hehe, this has nothing to do with Miss Linda, right?" The black shadow wrapped his cloak tightly and covered his whole body. Looking carefully, he could find that he was preparing to wait, obviously feeling a little afraid of Linda.
"Hmph, I don't care what you want to do, as long as you don't move the three mercenaries and Seaford in front." Linda crossed her arms and flicked her ponytail.
"Hehe, the blood-piercing mercenary and that noble boy are not my targets, so you don't care about the rest of that team." The short black shadow flashed his eyes and asked with a chuckle, "Then what happened last night? , why do you want to help them delay the pursuit of the ghost-faced squid!"
What Qin Lun and the others didn't know was that before they swam to the shore last night, someone had already helped them. Without Linda's secret help, the ghost squid would have caught up with them long ago.
At the beginning, the meteor drop caused a lot of damage to the ghost-faced squid, but the magic didn't last long, and it couldn't delay for much time. The ghost-faced squid failed to catch up in time because it was entangled by Linda.
Of course, with Linda's strength, it is also very difficult to deal with the ghost-faced squid. If it weren't for the serious injury of this giant ocean beast, she would have wanted to show up to fight with Rick and the others at some point.
Linda is not actually a legendary powerhouse, but the bounty assassin in front of her is a real legendary powerhouse. However, Linda's profession is a bit special, and her fighting power is very high, and she is a bit restrained by the opponent. If the assassin didn't use the Legendary Domain, the two of them would be in the same state.
The bounty assassin couldn't kill Linda, and he didn't dare to kill Linda. It makes sense in any world to beat the young ones and come out old ones. He wasn't afraid of Linda, but Linda's teacher couldn't help him. He was a wizard or something who had lived for thousands of years. Anyway, even his shadow peeping couldn't see the details of that old guy.
No matter how strong his assassination ability is, it is not a pleasant thing to be a wizard above the legendary level.
"Hmph, do I need to report to you what this girl is going to do?" Linda sniffled, her face proud, completely different from the gentle and lovely look she had when she was in the mercenary union. She hesitated for a moment, as if talking to herself, "I recommended such a difficult task to Rick and the three of them, of course we must ensure their safety!"
The bounty assassin on the opposite side wanted to laugh. Linda has been a registrant of the mercenary union for a long time. Many mercenaries knew her, but they couldn't tell when the little girl joined the mercenary union.
After working in the mercenary union with mixed fish and dragons for so many years, how could the little girl still be a tough and arrogant young lady.
At least, Bounty Assassin has seen her play around with some mercenaries he doesn't like many times, and even recommend some difficult tasks with changed difficulty to them, but they are still willing to do so.
"Why that expression, do you not believe me?" The little girl bared her teeth and claws to threaten the other party. Although the assassin's face was covered with a veil, her body language clearly told her that she didn't believe it at all. She has worked in the mercenary union for so many years, and the biggest skill she has learned is to read words and deeds.
"Anyway, I warned you that you are not allowed to attack the three of Rick and Seaver. You can do whatever you want with the others." Linda curled her lips and looked at the assassin with disdain, "However, I advise you not to It's not worth losing your life after doing this business. Along the way, you have also seen that the remaining guys seem to be a little weird, and you really may not win against them."
The gaze behind the assassin's veil flickered slightly, but he didn't refute the little girl's words. He followed all the way, enjoying the good show a lot of the time. It's just that the more I followed, the more cautious I became. After many considerations, I didn't dare to do it directly.
At the beginning of the stalking, he didn't know that Mustasia was a harp player, but after following along, both he and Linda finally discovered the unusualness of the highland elves. Later, the two finally connected Mustasia with members of several secret organizations, including the Harper Alliance.
Now, the assassin was even more afraid. Harpers are madmen, and with their involvement, something big is bound to happen. The life experiences of the blood-piercing trio and Xi Fu are clear, and there is nothing unusual about them.
Although the actual identities of the three Ricks are not simple, they are not enough to attract the Harpist Master, which shows that the other three Qin Lun are hiding even more terrifying secrets.
In fact, when the ghost-faced squid chased and killed Qin Lun and the others last night, the assassins couldn't find a chance to make a move. The Land of the Dead is extremely dangerous, and this legendary assassin with great skill has been in danger here several times, so it is not a pleasant trip.
While the ghost-faced squid hunted down that team last night, the assassin also encountered another danger, and was even more embarrassed than Qin Lun and the others. It was a group of night devil mosquitoes that could see through stealth. If he hadn't opened up the field in time and hid in the shadows, he would have been almost sucked into a human.
"See you then!" Seeing the assassin standing still, as if reevaluating the mission, Linda sneered complacently, tapped her toes, and left in a flash.
It's just that after the little girl walked for a while, a look of hesitation appeared on her face again. This time, she completely disobeyed the teacher's order. After walking with the team for so long, it was definitely too late to return to Candlekeep, but she was reluctant to give up.
Despite all kinds of dangerous situations in this adventure, it also brought her endless fun. It's just like taking drugs, the more you smoke, the more you can't stop. At the beginning, she always made excuses for herself, but later on, she simply broke the jar and used similar reasons such as "I can't catch up anyway, so why don't you go!" and so on.
After Linda left, the assassin was also hesitant at this time, the more he discovered, the more cautious he became. The harpist came to Qin Lun on his own initiative, and he watched from afar the battle between her and Qin Lun at the outskirts of the Land of Death.
Although I don't know what the two said, it was obviously posted by the harpist. This proves that Qin Lun, or at least one of those three people, has a different identity, and his life and death will at least affect a city, a country, or even a country.
In fact, the assassin no longer had the desire to take the bounty. No matter how rich the bounty of the Amberley Church was, it was not as important as his own life.
Anyway, he is not very willing to fight against the Harper, not only him, but also the scattered legendary powerhouses on the mainland, and they are basically unwilling to face the deadly enemies of the Zhentarim and the Harper Alliance. This pair of organizations is full of lunatics, and professionals with normal heads will stay away from them.
The assassin is now following Qin Lun and the others for another reason. Thinking of this, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the diminutive shadow assassin.
"The treasure of the legendary pirate Bord'an!"
As a legendary strongman who spent most of his career at Baldur's Gate, he knows more about legendary pirates than ordinary people.
According to an ancient rumor he heard, Bo De'an was not limited to legendary powerhouses, this pirate king was a true legend. This is not just referring to combat effectiveness, but to his legendary experience.
Bord'an has disappeared in the rumors of the world, but some people think that he has become a certain god. With the help of his legendary experience spread among the world's population, the legendary pirate has been promoted again. The legacy of a legendary powerhouse is nothing, so what if it is a legendary person who has been promoted to a holy spirit or a god
Regardless of whether Bord'an has succeeded or not, his final legacy in the material world is not trivial, and it is naturally worth the risk of a legendary assassin.
As a legendary powerhouse, the possibility of going further is quite low, even lower than the probability of ordinary people becoming a legendary powerhouse, because it involves the mysterious field.
Above the legend is the realm of gods, and there are only two ways to enter the realm of gods. One is to establish a regional belief, concentrate the belief in a certain field, and make it a priesthood, so that a legendary powerhouse can become a holy spirit, and the holy spirit is the form of a god when it is still in the main material world.
This is the most normal promotion path for all gods. There are so many types of priesthood in the world. As long as you find the right direction, the holy spirit has the possibility to become a god.
If the priesthood belongs to another powerful god, the spirit can choose to attribute its own religion to its pantheon. Powerful gods will not refuse a spirit to become a member of their pantheon, because the growth of the pantheon is also good for them.
If the Holy Spirit is unwilling to do so, then there will be a proxy war, the winner will take all the faith, and the loser will lose his priesthood and perish forever.
Different from the legend of slaughtering gods believed by the world, as long as the belief is still there, the Holy Spirit or the gods cannot be truly destroyed.
Of course, belief in becoming a god has its flaws. The idea of its belief will always fall behind with the progress of the main material world, but its transformed priesthood is difficult to change, resulting in the fall of the gods.
There are countless examples of this kind from ancient times to the present, for example, the oldest lizardman god back then. Lizardmen believe in reproduction and slaughter. After the elves migrated to Faerun, a higher level of elf civilization replaced the original lizardman civilization, so the belief in pure worship of reproduction and slaughter was eliminated, and the god of lizardmen also fell. up.
Another way to become a god is to transform purely by strength. The most famous rumor in the continent of Faerun is that "the lich walks everywhere, and there are as many legends as dogs." The lich here refers to the demigod lich, and this kind of powerhouse is a typical representative of power becoming a god.
The demigod liches have been infinitely close to gods, and they have been waiting for some kind of opportunity to become gods. If they succeeded in slaughtering the gods and took away the godhead of a certain god, then they would become gods. It's just that this method usually invites the joint crusade of other gods, and there are very few examples of real success.
