Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 245 Assassin, purple sand bar

I copied it and it hit the target!

There was no holy light to protect the body, and there was no divine ring to protect the Lord, so he was just knocked down by everyone?

Although in the predetermined plan, their fully prepared move was considered to be a sure thing.

But when they saw the arrogant God's Chosen fall, the assassins were so excited that they almost forgot to breathe.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, they wanted to make up for at least two more rounds of shooting, but they directly chose to draw out their short-term soldiers to approach the opponent, so as not to lose the first prize to others.

But just when the leading assassin stretched out his sword's scabbard and wanted to turn the target lying on the ground over for inspection, Ji Ming suddenly moved.

His hands hidden under the black robe quickly threw out two iron beads, and under the cover of night, they accurately hit the assassins' heads.

Then in the chaos, he picked up a long-handled shovel and struck them one by one on the head like a whack-a-mole.

Even with control and hitting, as long as I dodge and move fast enough, I can do AOE damage to a single target!

So the assassins didn't even have time to say "Ah" before they were all knocked unconscious on the ground.

If they knew Ji Ming well enough, they would know that trying to assassinate him from behind was the most stupid thing to do.

Because in addition to a suit of talisman armor, he also deliberately stuffed a Legion Holy Shield behind his back.

With such a powerful combination, the hand crossbow, which was light and quiet but inevitably a bit weak in power, could not even break through his defense, let alone poison him.

As for their carefully planned assassination, which took advantage of the right time, place and people, why was it full of loopholes at the critical stage, suddenly changing from a big advantage to a team-annihilation ending.

This is naturally because...

"Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"

Strong-willed people are naturally resistant to suggestion, but the dizzy assassins who were photographed clearly do not fall into this category.

So the assassin leader, who was awakened by the gas bomb and lifted up by his collar, tilted his head and could only speak weakly.

"They didn't say who they were, but I noticed they had the logo of the Mountain Hammer Mercenary Group under their clothes, really!"

Mountain Man Hammer...So Andrew wants to hire someone to kill me?

Theoretically, it is possible for Andrew to do this.

After all, he had hired an assassin in Black and White before, and wanted to beat up Ji Ming and give him a hard blow.

It was just that at that time, the two sides had saved their last line of defense, and their faces were torn, but they were not completely torn in half. There was still the possibility of shelving the dispute for the time being.

but……

Whether you are doing good or bad things, even if you are an antisocial lunatic, you must have a motive of "according to my own will".

If Ji Ming is the one who harasses people like crazy and speaks nonsense in areas that others are proficient in, even he himself will feel that he deserves a stabbing.

But the person who has been doing this recently is obviously Andrew, so there is no possibility that he will deepen his hatred for himself or even have murderous intentions again.

And the other party's intention is obviously to make up for the relationship between him and himself, and to restore it to a point where he can at least talk about business and talk about things.

and so……

The grievances of the past have been healed from Andrew's point of view; the recent grievances, Andrew didn't know it was him.

Then Andrew simply didn't have enough reasons and motives to risk being resented by the Holy Light Church to assassinate him.

Ok……

Ji Ming thought for a while and thought of another possibility.

Could it be that someone knew about the conflict between me and Andrew, and wanted to use my hand to kill someone, or use my hand to cause a little trouble for Dean An?

So Andrew's enemies...well, I should say who is not Andrew's enemy.

After leading the dazed assassins to a more secluded place, Ji Ming decided to start with witnesses and dragged the assassin leader for a detailed interrogation.

It can only be said that the gold medal assassin is the gold medal assassin. Perhaps the questions were too sharp. There were several times in the middle where the opponent almost regained consciousness.

Fortunately, Ji Ming had no other skills but a shovel. He successfully completed the entire interrogation by repeatedly performing the Great Memory Restoration Technique.

"Is there nothing else to explain?"

"No more, really no more! Uh..."

The assassin leader, who was covered in bruises, finally couldn't hold himself any longer and fainted completely.

The guy who came to hire a murderer was very cautious, like a shadow man from some evil organization, he was tightly wrapped in black cloth, for fear that others would see who he was.

To be able to afford to hire so many expensive assassins, financial resources itself is a threshold.

It is not easy to get the badge of the Mountain People's Hammer Mercenary Group. After all, the Sunshine City black market is controlled by the Mercenary Alliance. How could they allow such an important thing to circulate?

The leader of the assassin happened to be from Hui Guang. He had seen the deep forest army disguised as bandits coming to plunder in the western border of the kingdom. He could smell the stench of the military temperament mixed with a bit of bandit nature.

So, there is a conflict with Andrew, he is rich, and he is related to mercenaries, and his members include deep forest soldiers...

With so many clues stacked together, the answer is already obvious.

I thought that Fein was really a powerful martial artist as the outside world said, but I didn't expect that he could use such insidious tricks secretly.

If he hadn't had the suggestion technique, he could have assisted the assassin leader in recalling all his memories with such clarity that even he himself couldn't.

If an ordinary person were to interrogate him, he might have fallen into the other party's scheme and mistakenly thought that it was Andrew who did it.

After clearing his thoughts, Ji Ming looked at the assassins standing in front of him.

If he catches them outside the city, he will definitely put them all in the mines for labor reform, without wasting any labor force.

But now we are in the city. Although the teleportation coordinates connected to the dungeon can change locations at any time, it requires a cooling time of about a day.

It's definitely not a loss to do this for a large number of public beta accounts, but to "recruit" so many pallu who are not cute at all, it seems a bit...

So how could Ji Ming, who was the chosen one with good order and benevolence, directly choose the option of "kill on the spot"?

He decided to give the assassins a chance to survive, more or less.

"Now please introduce yourselves, and everyone will introduce the name of their original evil deeds."

"Start from you!"

……

"Okay, don't say any more."

After only hearing half of it, Ji Ming really couldn't listen anymore.

How could anyone count the sins they have committed and need the help of suggestion to calculate them?

He took a few steps back and forth irritably and pointed.

"Anyone who has never killed an innocent person, come out!"

……

"Anyone who has never killed an innocent child, come out!"

……

"Anyone who has never robbed an innocent old man, come out!"

……

"Damn, you're just like me...forget it, this is a bit difficult. You've never been to a club before, get out!"

……

"Damn it, have you never done anything good in your life!?"

With an angry shout, Ji Ming sighed helplessly. "Okay, if you feel you don't deserve to die, get out of the queue."

Snapped!

In unison, all the assassins took a step forward.

"Ha, good."

Taking out a pen used to draw talismans, Ji Ming drew three random strokes on the back of his hand, and then erased them all.

"Assassin, kill yourself!"

Walking out of the dark alley, Ji Ming looked at the moon behind layers of dark clouds.

There was clearly a large group of people when they came in, but when they came out there was only one person left.

Walking under a nearby streetlight, he closed his eyes and felt his current mood.

Angry, not at the assassination itself, but at the person who carried it out.

It's just that some minions among the minions can be so filthy. Then can there be any light behind the well-dressed Sunshine City big shots at the banquet?

They deserve to die!

...Okay, then I will follow Finn's plan and start killing Andrew first!

Ji Ming could feel that the little boss wanted to say something, but the blue light just flickered in front of his eyes and then disappeared.

"..."

Returning to the clinic, he began to design a battle plan against Andrew.

In fact, things like strategy and tactics are very simple in a broad sense. They are nothing more than two types.

The first is recklessness, which directly opens the portal in the east area, then rushes into the manor with NPCs and players, dragging out and killing everyone in the Mountain Man Iron Hammer.

Although it sounds simple and refreshing, Ji Ming's temperament naturally doesn't like this plan.

The first is the danger. I don’t know if a thrown match can detonate a powder keg, but it will definitely burn out on its own.

At least he and even the players will become the target of public criticism. Even if he can achieve the final victory, it will hinder the layout of Sunshine City after the dust settles.

What's more, the relationship between himself and Andrew is considered a personal grudge. Even if the players and NPCs can take action, it is difficult to achieve the full morale of the same enemy, which is considered a disadvantage.

The second type is actually reckless, but you must first deceive Andrew and then be reckless, maximize the strength of the opponent, and strive to carry out precise beheading operations.

Fortunately, this plan has a very suitable focus now.

Since ancient times, the dragon's treasure has been one of the hottest topics of conversation among people.

Even if the dragon's reputation as a legendary creature is shocking, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish, and the huge wealth will still make explorers flock to it.

Sheldon knew that there was an upside-down castle in the center of the underground plain, and a young rock dragon lived in it.

Of course he also coveted the legendary dragon treasure, but he had just arrived and needed a lot of planning, so he had not arranged the affairs here.

But recently, various rumors related to rock dragons have been heard in the plains.

Some people say that the rock dragon provoked the beings in the underground city and was suppressed by a powerful god related to life.

Some people say that the rock dragon became obsessed while studying the memories of his ancestors and turned his whole body into stone.

Others say that there is no such thing as a rock dragon at all. It is just a greedy earth lizard that pretends to be a dragon. It was beaten to death for being too aggressive before, and is now huddled in the castle to recover from its injuries.

But in the end, all rumors will point to the treasure in the castle.

——It is ownerless, it is undefended, and it can be obtained easily!

And not long after, someone appeared in the Pioneer Market who claimed to have sneaked into the castle. Unfortunately, because he was too weak, he only stayed in the room on the edge of the perimeter.

But even so, he still gained a certain amount of wealth from it, and took out golden coins to prove that what he said was true.

In an instant, the upside-down castle became a mountain of gold and silver in the eyes of everyone in the plain, and people from various tribes tried to approach it every day.

Then something exciting happened. Although the castle's isolation circle was activated due to the theft, the rock dragon really never appeared again.

——Anyway, the big BOSS disappeared!

The castle has been transformed from a dead place guarded by a dragon to a safe with a strong iron lock.

Whoever can pry it open first will gain massive wealth and the entire castle!

It would be a lie to say that Sheldon wasn't jealous after things happened here.

Especially for this formation, although the mercenaries, like these plains bumpkins, don't know how to break the formation, they can hire people from outside to help.

The camp supplies were lost twice before, and recently, although there is no evidence, the convoy was also ransacked several times by the pioneers.

The huge material deficit needs someone to help fill it, and the group leader also needs a suitable explanation.

If we can capture this treasure, all problems will be solved.

But Sheldon obviously can't solve this problem alone. He needs help from others.

After much thought, he decided to tell the group leader directly about the matter.

After receiving Sheldon's report letter, Andrew, who was already worried because the underground warehouse was stolen again, almost jumped up on the spot.

"Johnson, hurry up and find me an expert who is good at breaking magic circles!"

While ordering his cousin to find someone quickly, he also began to count the current manpower of the mercenary group.

Opening the lock is only the first step. After you open it, the group of dirty country bumpkins will definitely try to fight for it, so you have to guard against it.

Well, then send Balder...

Do not!

To be on the safe side and to win over the military, I have to go there in person this time!

By the way, let’s talk about cooperation again with that smart-alecked idiot named Baptiste, and the new ally Sheldon has recently contacted!

With his mind settled, Andrew began to write a letter to the man he once trusted most.

Although many things may not go as you wish, there is always room for manipulation and change.

Beat up those disobedient subordinates and tame a few new people who can develop, and everything will be fine.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but picture the face of Ji Ming's divine choice in his mind.

"Hey, if only everyone could be as simple and kind as Ji Ming..."

But whether it is finding a qualified "locksmith" or mobilizing troops and generals without affecting the layout of Sunshine City, it will take time.

So under Andrew's instruction, Sheldon began to implement another plan.

Friends who have been thieves all know that if you want to steal something happily, you must hide it from others when doing it.

So what should you do if the stolen item is in plain sight, right under everyone’s nose?

Just like every magician has his own "trustee", most of them are beautiful assistants wearing cool clothes.

The answer is to find a way to make a bigger noise elsewhere to attract other people's attention.

And the "Wind-burned Bunny Girl" that Andrew, a third-rate magician, found for himself was none other than the macho Baptiste, who usually wears relatively cool clothes.

"What the hell? The Cyclops and the Minotaur really started fighting!"
