Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 96: Assassination in the street

Views:

This hunting trip, I don’t know how long it will take to return to the city, so Renn also plans to purchase some necessary things.

Potion materials, musket equipment, magic scrolls, outdoor equipment for various outdoor environments. Of course, you also have to purchase several sets of potion equipment such as test tubes and beakers to practice pharmacy at any time.

The last time he learned the "Six Fighting Styles", Renne had spent almost all his cash, and buying these things was not cheap.

Fortunately, with the support of a rich man named Bazel, borrowing tens of millions is not a big problem.

... ..

"Boss, here are two sets of sophisticated potion preparation utensils... 3,000 testing reagents, 2,000 acid neutralizing reagents, surgical instruments, and an alloy operating table with folding brackets... "

As soon as Ren opened his mouth, he bought a few years' supply.

Boss: "Okay, a total of 5.3 million liso."

"..."

The sewer laboratory was occupied by the Winster family, and all the equipment and instruments had probably been evacuated.

Renso bought a set of all the surgical and experimental instruments he could buy.

Unfortunately, the quality of the instruments available on the market is much worse than that of Irubek Laboratory, and there are many customized instruments that are simply unavailable... However, for him now, it is barely enough.

"Space Storage Ring" is a rare equipment made by high-level mages. It is a scarce commodity in other places, but in the City of Glory, the capital of magicians, it is just a high-end item that can be bought with money.

Anyway, he had too many debts to weigh him down, so he took advantage of the rich man Bazel and borrowed a few small loans.

Various supplies, filled with several storage rings.

... ..

With everything in place, Ren thought about going to the news dealer Hook to see if there was any news about Big Boss Ymir.

But the accident happened quietly.

Suddenly, Bazel walked quickly from far down the street.

As they passed each other, he said with an unusually solemn expression: "I smell the smell of dirty vampires, they are nearby! They must be coming for me. I'll lead them away, you be careful..."

"..."

Ren's heart also tightened upon hearing this.

He didn't speak, but already strode away in the opposite direction of Bazel's departure.

This is also the response strategy that the two people have discussed in case of danger.

Enemies who dare to chase Bazel must be high-level experts. Renn, a first-level novice, can't intervene at all. Naturally, he can stay as far away as possible.

What's more, it's easier for Bazel to fight or flee alone, so there's no need to recruit help.

... .

"How did those vampires discover Bazel's whereabouts?"

As Ren walked, he was also wondering what went wrong.

A legendary figure like Bazel himself is a werewolf who is good at tracking. He has prevented almost all behaviors that may reveal his whereabouts.

Not showing up, not talking, not taking action... and has never had any contact with outsiders recently.

Even for mysterious supernatural beings such as [Prophet] and [Soothsayer], it doesn't matter if they are positioned as low-level extraordinary beings; but to locate such a legendary figure, the price paid is definitely not something that ordinary high-level extraordinary beings can afford.

Therefore, it seems very abnormal for his whereabouts to be exposed this time.

Werewolves are very sensitive to the smell of vampires. Since Bazel was sure that there was a scent of vampires nearby, he would definitely not be mistaken.

"I hope he can escape this disaster..."

Renn could do nothing but pray silently.

He blended in with the crowd and tried not to let anyone see that he was involved with Bazel.

... .

On the other hand, Bazel is also very strange. His current disguise is almost impeccable. How did the vampires discover him

The aura of that vampire is very strong, and it seems that his title is not low.

In order not to implicate Ren, he wanted to go as far away as possible. If a battle broke out, it would not affect the only doctor who could deal with his injuries.

But as he walked, Bazel became confused.

He found that the vampire's aura did not chase him, but ran farther and farther in the opposite direction.

"Is it just a vampire who accidentally passed by the 'City of Glory'?"

Bazel was very puzzled.

Maybe I really thought too much and met him by chance

His preconceptions prevented him from thinking that it was Rennes' problem. After all, when he thought about it, how could a small first-level [Awakened One] be cared about by a high-level vampire and come to hunt him down in person

At this time, he stopped, and under the cover of a shop on the street, he turned his attention to the crowd in the distance.

Then, he quickly locked onto the vampire in the crowd, as well as his associates of the assassin and the black-robed warlock.

Looking at the formation of the three people, it is obvious that it is a classic "triangle encirclement and killing". It is obvious that they want to take action, but the target is not themselves at all!

At this moment, Bazel suddenly realized: "No! Those guys are going after Ren En!"

Although his strength is predicted by the [Silver Sacred Artifact], how keen is his perception

The moment he saw the cold light of the hooded assassin's dagger, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in his heart: "Damn it! What did that kid do before, to be targeted by the vampires..."

Vaguely, the legendary boss also guessed that Renne might have some "dark history" before he met him!

But now is not the time to consider this issue. Whether it is the guard contract or his own injuries, Bazel is absolutely unwilling to see Renn killed in front of his eyes.

Without any hesitation at all, he kicked the ground violently, and the huge force under his feet caused a spiderweb-like crack on the solid floor.

In the blink of an eye, Bazel's silver hair had covered his skin... Like lightning, a burly silver figure had rushed into the street.

But, it's still too late!

The safe distance he had just kept apart so as not to injure Renne has now become the biggest obstacle to him rescuing people!

... ...

Quinn is the leader among third-level assassins.

He was originally a professional killer, and if he wanted to assassinate a first-level rookie, there would be no chance for anyone to react.

When outsiders saw the cold light of his dagger, the blade had already touched the target's neck.

"not good!"

Ren didn't notice anything at all, and the cold light on Ben's neck made his hair burst instantly.

A sense of danger of death instantly hit his forehead, like falling into an ice cave.

He never expected that someone would assassinate him on the street

But when he caught a glimpse of the familiar black dagger from the corner of his eye, he instantly guessed the identity of the person coming, "The leader of the weasel group, Quinn!"

In a moment, it dawned on me.

Damn it, Quinn didn't die by the side of Storm Lake, and he even chased him to the City of Glory!

At this moment, Ren finally understood that the danger was not Bazel, but himself.

He didn't expect these guys to dare to kill people on the street!

The next moment, the cold light dagger quietly wiped across the neck, the movement was as smooth as the breeze blowing, and it could even make people die without feeling any pain.

Almost at the same time, the black-robed warlock not far away pinched the green skull in his hand and muttered a strange spell, trying to draw away Ren's soul; and Quinn also touched the storage ring in his hand. I want to take away the body easily.

The original plan was perfect. They could kill and finish in one kill, and they could complete the assassination mission even without any pedestrians on the street noticing.

But... something unexpected happened.

Ren's "corpse" leaned back and looked like it was about to fall.

But the two people who took action were shocked at the same time.

Black-robed warlock: "Hey...can't you strip the soul?"

Quinn: "Hey... corpses can't be put into storage rings?"

After a moment, they understood... The target was not dead? !
