The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 386 Assassin’s Guild

"Sir, please come in!!"

Ten days later, Alan arrived at the door of the dwarf Borrett's blacksmith shop early in the morning and knocked on his heavy wooden door.

When he saw that the person knocking on the door was Allen, the dwarf was slightly surprised, but at the same time he did not forget to welcome Allen into the door.

"Please wait a moment, I still have some finishing work to finish!!"

It can be seen that during these ten days, the dwarf has not been lazy at all. This can be seen from his slovenly clothes and his hair and beard that are full of smoke. His shrewd eyes were now covered with bloodshot eyes. He was so excited that he didn't even prepare a chair or water for Allen. He just left Allen aside and continued his previous actions.

The bone cutter is being cast by the blazing light blue flames. The sword is orange-red, and the carvings are more detailed. There are also some changes, such as being two inches wider and much thicker.

When the flames finally burned the Bonecutter's sword to a bright red, Borrett wore a pair of leather gloves made of unknown material and directly held the hot hilt. A burning smell immediately came out. It was also accompanied by a squeaking sound.

The entire Bonecutter's sword blade was completely exposed in front of Allen's eyes. With his familiarity with the Bonecutter, Allen could confirm that the sword blade had also been lengthened by about three inches. Now if the heavy sword is lowered to the ground, it will be the same as Allen's. If I compare it myself, the entire epee has almost reached his chest.

A bunch of golden powder of unknown material was picked up by Borrett with his other free hand, and then swayed directly on the red sword body. Suddenly, the golden-red light shone, turning into a ball of explosive flames. In an instant, It converged directly back into the sword body.

Borrett looked solemn and carefully observed the changes in the epee. It was not until a certain point in time that he suddenly made a move and quickly inserted the bone cutter into another huge stone trough next to it. Only then did Allen discover that the stone trough was filled with a silver liquid that exuded a cold aura.

呲呲呲~~~
  From extreme heat to extreme cold, the Bonecutter cooled quickly, and its true appearance finally appeared in front of Allen's eyes. With just one glance, Allen felt that this was his exclusive weapon.

Although it has not yet been polished, the original silver-gray blade of the Bonecutter now has other textures. The dark gold and silver-gray stripes are superimposed on each other but the texture is clear. If you look closely, it seems to be born this way. The textures form a series of mysterious patterns. Borrett cleverly used the changes in materials to fit the complicated carvings into it. It is simple and elegant at the same time. At first glance, it is an excellent weapon.

"call!!!"

After several more complicated forging steps, time passed quickly for half a day. In the end, a relieved Borrett handed the unopened epee into Allen's hands with a satisfied face.

"The next step is to be done by yourself, sir."

"This is the most satisfying work I have made in 37 years of casting. To be honest, if you hadn't prepared all the materials, I wouldn't have wanted to hand it over!!"

Watching Allen with nostalgia as he wielded the heavy sword, Borrett began to carefully introduce the secrets to Allen.

"This sword has three basic attributes. The sturdiness is definitely possessed by cold iron and gold essence materials, so I won't go into details. The armor-breaking attribute is the characteristic of gold essence. The remaining one is the heavy attribute, which is the combination of gold essence and cold essence. The product of the combination of iron can make every swing of this sword very heavy."

"Of course, this also makes this heavy sword quite heavy. Even if you don't have a burly figure, you may not be able to use it easily. According to my estimate, the weight of this sword is at least more than 400 pounds. It must be more than pounds." Sir, with your power, there should be no problem in using it!"

In fact, Borritt was a little uneasy about this feature. Compared with ordinary bugbears, Allen's body was much thinner. Based on Borett's observation, he thought that Allen should go. The speed route, so the weight of the epee suddenly increased by more than 100 pounds at this time, which will naturally be a big burden.

Of course, with Allen's legendary strength, it is not impossible to use this heavy sword for a short time even if he takes the speed route, but it is probably a bit difficult to use it frequently.

These were all guesses made by Borrit without knowing Allen's physical condition. From this point, it can be seen that Borrit may not be bad at casting, but he still lacks some brains in business.

If he had roughly confirmed the strength parameters and the like with Allen before, he might not have these worries.

However, seeing that Allen was now holding the brand new Bonecutter and dancing it vigorously without any difficulty, Borrett's face gradually relaxed, and then he began to show off his most proud creation.

"In my opinion, a real warrior is the art of showing the body with real swords and guns. Those fancy magics look magical, but actually deviate from the essence of a warrior. Therefore, I did not enchant any magic on this heavy sword. A spell, but it imposes a rune unique to us dwarves - Demon Breaking."

"This rune will convert the energy poured by the holder into unique annihilation energy. If the energy is enough, it can directly eliminate any magic below level 5. At the same time, it also has a strong weakening effect on magic above level 5. , even if it is a legendary level spell, as long as you pour enough energy into it, you can eliminate part of its power."

The dwarves are a race that is very partial to the plasticity spells. The talents of their other spellcasters are similar to those of most races in Feynman's world. Only in the plasticity department, there is a strong difference.

For example, the spellcasters among them are extremely talented in the lightning, earth, and fire types, but their talents in the wind, water, and other energy-shaping types are almost as idiotic. It is basically difficult for energy evocation spellcasters below high level to cast a complete wind spell independently, but unique professions such as thunderstorm mage, earth evocation caster, and rune mage have been born.

Also because of their partiality in science, there are not as many dwarves who learn spellcasting abilities as in other civilizations. More dwarves like to take the path of warriors. In order to gain an advantage over spellcasters in battle, they finally use their unique talismans. Using literary skills, he developed a magic-breaking rune.

It's a pity that the secret of this kind of rune is generally taboo among the dwarves and is never spread to the outside world. Now that he can create this rune on Allen's Bonecutter, Allen doesn't know whether he has gained or lost.

After hearing the new attributes of the Bone Slayer, Allen was quite surprised. This demon-breaking attribute may not be very powerful, but for Allen, it is the most suitable special effect for him. From the beginning of the battle with the Bone Crusher until now, the opponents that Allen dislikes the most are the thieves with magical life-saving skills, and the mage with various magical effect spells.

If the demon-breaking attribute is really as powerful as the dwarf Borret said, then Allen will already be in a strong position when he fights the spellcaster with the bone cutter.

"In terms of weapon characteristics, this heavy sword may not be considered a legendary weapon, but in my opinion, it is no worse than any legendary weapon. As long as it meets a suitable master, such as you, sir, Such!"

Borrett patted Allen's ass a little, and when it came to Allen's ears, it did make Allen somewhat happy.

Anger poured into the body of the Bonecutter sword, and the familiar touch did not seem unfamiliar because of the addition of many other materials. As the extra runes on the sword began to work, an unknown layer gradually rose up on the gold and silver sword. The famous transparent shield can only be seen by Allen himself.

The heavy weapon was just right for Allen at this time and was not as heavy as expected. After all, Allen's strength had improved a lot after being promoted to Legend, and he had also improved a lot through tempering in the past few years.

The shielded Bonecutter cut through the air easily, making the heavy blade a little more nimble. Perhaps this is another hidden feature of the blade.

clang!
  With a crisp sword sheath, the hollow scabbard on Allen's back, which had been empty, once again welcomed its owner.

With the weapon in hand, Allen naturally would not stay in Borrett's blacksmith shop for a long time. After giving the other party a satisfied smile, he left.

Not long after, rumors began to spread in the alley called Bronzebeard Blacksmith that someone came to find a dwarf blacksmith to forge weapons, and Borrett, a dwarf, even made a tailor-made weapon for this legendary strongman. Weapons of legendary level.

It can almost be said that Allen has taken on a new look. Now by upgrading equipment other than his own strength, his overall strength has become stronger by more than one level, and he finally has the wealth of a truly legendary powerhouse.

Just when Allen was still familiar with the effects of his not-so-new equipment, a familiar person came to the door, which made Allen have some thoughts.

"Let me tell you, this Allen Pasta Restaurant must have something to do with you, it's true!!"

The Elf Assassin Albian still showed up at Allen's Pasta Restaurant with his cynical and sometimes sinister face, and was led into the backyard by Roberta. When he saw Allen slowly wielding basic sword skills, Said to Allen warmly.

"This beautiful goblin sister, give me 5 fresh meat buns and a plate of dumplings, thank you!"

"By the way, this is your clan leader's treat, don't take my money!"

"..."

Allen frowned slightly, staring at Albian's movements, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"I should call you Sir now. I really envy you for advancing to Legend earlier than us!!"

Albian seemed to have known about Allen's promotion to Legend. However, when he was in front of Allen, no one else had the respect and distance that others had when facing a legendary powerhouse, which made Allen feel familiar again.

However, it has only been more than a year since Kaiya learned the lesson, and Allen himself has never let go of this incident, so it is inevitable that he is a little sensitive. Even if Albian wanted to close the relationship, he did not say a word.

"...Why, my old friend, are you going to break up with us just because of that bitch Kaiya?"

Albian's intelligence system is really powerful, and he can even know such private things, which suddenly made Allen's guard, which had gradually relaxed, rise again.

"What do you want from me?"

Allen's tone was a little cold.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that I came here in the wrong way this time. I originally wanted to ask you, how is the slave-catching group I introduced to you? Do you have any other needs?"

"Forget it, just think I'm here to eat and drink this time!"

Albian was somewhat disappointed, and his tone became a little bleak.

Since giving Alan, figures who walk in the gray area like Aligon, Albian's relationship with Alan is actually closer than ordinary friends, and he came here with some purpose this time. However, the purpose he brought was not detrimental to Allen and his tribe, but was of great benefit.

"Sorry, I was rude!!"

Allen finally adjusted his mentality, and his face gradually became gentle.

"When you come to my place and only eat a few steamed buns, it seems like I'm not hospitable enough. How about I cook myself and make a few side dishes and we have a drink together?"

He said it was a friendly inquiry, but in fact, after Alan put away the bone cutter and put it in the dimensional bag, he walked directly into the kitchen in the backyard and started to get busy skillfully. As the time passed by being promoted to Legend, Allen gradually showed some of the power of a strong person. For example, when facing someone who is not so close to him, he would not care too much about the other person's attitude, but would let the other person accommodate his choice.

"By the way, are you interested in trying dishes made from the flesh and blood of the Samsara Demon?"

"Forget it, you better keep it for yourself and enjoy it!"

Soon, Allen came out with several wooden plates and took Albian to his temporary residence.

"How have you been lately? Have you achieved anything big?"

Allen poured Albian twice as much fruit wine, and at the same time he poured twice as much, and casually asked Albian about his situation in the past few years.

"I'm still like that, how can I compare with you? Now just one of your tasks can keep me busy for many years..."

The two chatted leisurely for a long time, and also talked about Alba, Kaiya and the others. When he heard that Alba had re-entered the city guard's office as an errand, Allen's eyes were somewhat uncomfortable, but he soon felt relieved.

"You asked me just now if I was interested in contacting more channels like Aligon. Does that mean you have other contact information for slave-catching groups?"

After chatting for a while, Allen brought the topic back up and looked at Albian seriously again.

"The limelight has been bad recently. Many slave-catching groups have temporarily stopped their operations. Even if I help you contact the slave-catching group, you will not be able to start transactions for a long time."

Albian didn't really get into the topic of finding Allen until Allen asked him personally. It was also his last persistence in facing Allen.

"I'm afraid you don't know that the Elf Kingdom declared war on the Dwarf Kingdom just ten days ago."

"Both the northern and southern continents are now in a period of turmoil. In order to prepare for the possible spread of the war, the great figures in the wilderness have begun to restrict the movement of foreigners like us."

"So not only me, but also the dwarf slave-catching group of Aragon, don't dare to act rashly now, for fear of triggering a purge by the wilderness tribe."

"..."

Allen's eyes suddenly turned solemn. He didn't expect that he was not as well-informed as Albian about such an important matter, which made him even more curious about the forces behind Albian.

"Is your information channel accurate?"

Of course, what is more important is the war started by the Elf Kingdom's troops. For the Green Field Tribe, which is not too far from the Elf Kingdom's border, they have been worried about where the Elf Kingdom's actions will end up. Now that the dust has settled, , which actually made Allen feel relieved.

As long as the Elf Kingdom does not send troops to the wilderness, it means that in a short period of time, Allen and his tribe will not have to worry too much about the clouds of war.

As for the final war between the four major civilizations and the final competition for continental hegemony, it is no longer something that Allen will pay attention to, because he knows very well that he and his tribe are not qualified even if they have been in business for thousands of years. To participate in it, unless the entire Mansha wilderness is unified.

"That's for sure, don't forget, I am an elf myself, and the information over there is much better than yours!!"

Albian smiled proudly and said confidently.

"Of course, I don't know exactly how many troops the Elf Kingdom will send, what the attack plan is, etc. But what I want to tell you is that the wilderness looks very peaceful now, but in fact there are also undercurrents surging underneath. You have to be careful!"

"Well, thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention."

Allen nodded gratefully.

"Alan, to be honest, with your current status and lack of information, it is completely inconsistent with your status!!"

After happily accepting Eren's thanks, Albian said with a look of regret in his eyes.

Allen's face was also a little uncomfortable. He didn't know the importance of intelligence information. However, the family's management has been difficult over the years. It was difficult to establish a stable intelligence collection system in Thornburg Castle, which could quickly obtain information about many things on the market. Big and small news, but with the blockade of Thornburg, everything was brought back to its original state.

As for Mansa City, Roberta's store was still in a period of rapid development, and they did not have much energy to run an intelligence system. In the end, Allen had to go to taverns, adventurers' guilds and other places to spend money to collect intelligence.

"Are you interested in joining our organization?"

Finally, after some small talk and the relationship became closer, Albian began to reveal the real reason why he came to see Allen this time.

"What do you mean?"

Allen knew that Albian should have other identities besides his superficial identity as an adventurer. Although it probably had little to do with the Elf Kingdom, the power behind it was definitely not small. After several cooperations over the years, Albian's intelligence channels are inferior to Allen's. Only Richard's intelligence system is slightly better.

Allen also made indirect inquiries about the organization behind Albian and Richard to see if there was a chance to join them. It was a pity that Allen at the time had not shown enough talent, and when Allen joined the opponent During the inspection period, it grew extremely quickly and did not give the other party enough time to react.

"You should have noticed that in addition to being an adventurer, I also joined another organization behind my back. When you asked me about it before, I reported your intention to the organization, but since you are in Mansha I haven’t been in the city for long, and the organization I belong to has relatively strict requirements, so it’s only now that I’m allowed to come and officially extend an invitation to you.”

Regarding Allen's investigation, in fact, since Allen came to Mansha City for the second time, Albian has accepted the task of the organization and carefully observed Allen's talent and potential.

After all, the organization behind Albian is in the gray area of ​​this world. Although it has a lot of power in two continents, it has been rarely known to the general public because many of their industrial chains cannot be seen in the light. , and at the same time, its members will need to be carefully screened and reviewed.

"If you don't mind, could you introduce me to the organization behind you?"

Before Allen was promoted to Legend, he might have been overjoyed at Albian's invitation. For a small wilderness tribe living in a corner, having more access would give them more strength; but after Allen was promoted to Legend, instead He won't be so excited anymore. Although it didn't take long for him to be promoted to legend, there was an endless stream of people coming to him to win over him, which also made Allen understand his value.

"That's no problem, but I also hope that Alan, you can keep what I say next confidential."

Albian nodded slightly and responded, but at the same time he solemnly warned Allen.

"Of course."

"There are too many gray industries in this world, and the most valuable ones are assassinations, slaves, prostitutes, and gambling."

"The main business of the organization I belong to is to help customers in need and assassinate their enemies and targets."

"..."

No wonder Albian always made Allen feel that he was a bit sinister and his methods were cruel. It turned out that this was what he did secretly.

"After joining our organization, there will be a mandatory task every ten years. At the same time, you can have three opportunities to refuse. There are no restrictions on the rest."

"You can freely choose whether to accept other tasks. At the same time, you can also actively offer rewards. No one will know your identity."

"There are also people in the guild who are responsible for collecting intelligence. You can pay a certain price or exchange information in exchange for the corresponding information."

"If you want to get more accurate information every month, then you need to complete a task every three years, and the guild will use the collected information as a reward and deliver it directly to you."

"..."

All in all, Allen finally knew that the force to which Albian belonged was a powerful guild with deep roots in Hillen, Talen Continent, and Mansha Wilderness - the Assassin's Guild.

As the name suggests, the main industry of the Assassin's Guild is to help employers who have access to the guild complete all kinds of incredible tasks. As long as you can afford the price, there will be people who can help you even with the task of assassinating a powerful demigod. Finish.

According to Albian's introduction, behind the Assassin's Guild sits one of the world's top powerful men - a saint-level being.

"Can you let me think about it?"

Allen was a little moved. The Assassin's Guild did not have many restrictions, especially for a strong man like Allen. The rights and obligations were not directly proportional. It seemed that the benefits of joining far outweighed the disadvantages.

However, out of caution, Allen decided to calm down a little longer.

"sure no problem."

Albian's eyes were clear and he didn't mean to force anything.
