Ryan's Sword

Chapter 15 No.14 Scene Latent
In the manor of the Dewey family, a group of heavily armed guards were patrolling along the fence on the edge of the manor.

This squad consisted of four heavily armored warriors. They wore expensive half-length steel armor, and they also wore heavy greaves with steel plates below their knees.The leader is the captain of the team. He holds the sword hilt at his waist with one hand, and holds a torch for lighting in the other. The other three follow his footsteps and observe different directions vigilantly. , They will quickly draw out the long swords around their waists when they are always ready, and besiege the possible enemies.

"Bang, bang..."

While walking, the steel armor on the guard made a unique sound of metal collision, which was heard from a long distance in the silent environment under the night.

Not long after this patrol team passed by, another team with the same configuration passed by the same position again. The distance between them and the previous team was not too far, that is to say, no matter which patrol team When a fight breaks out, all the squads can quickly get together and join the fight.

In this way, five continuous patrolling guard teams guarded the Dewey family's manor like an iron bucket, leaving almost no opportunity to take advantage of it.

On the left side of the manor, that is, in the direction of Robe Town, there are three interconnected low bungalows. These connected buildings are the kitchen of the manor.Beside the kitchen, tall haystacks were stacked, and behind the haystacks was a row of stables. Including Sir Jonson's favorite snowflake highland horse, a total of fourteen fine horses were tied up in the stables, and from time to time Stamping the ground, or snorting, this is one of the few movements in the manor under the night.

Around the stables, there was the peculiar smell of animals and the stench of excrement.Before nightfall, the servants in charge of serving these horses have already filled their troughs with forage, which is refined by stirring the ground okara and eggs into the dried pasture for them to eat at night.After that, no one would want to come and smell the smell worse than the toilet.

Even the conscientious patrolling guards couldn't help but take a few more steps away from the stables, so as not to be suffocated by the stench every time they passed by.

In the shadows between the stables and the haystacks, a black human figure crouched there as motionless as a real stone.

Because the guards who disliked the smell of the stables walked away from here, and the horses in the stables were kept in normal condition, they subconsciously ignored this area after a few cursory glances.

"There are five waves of heavy-armored guards on patrol on the edge, and there are at least three patrolling teams inside the manor, but they are much worse without equipment. From this point of view, the entire force of the Dewey family is probably about this scale!"

In the blue world, the cost of twenty sets of half-length steel armor is not cheap, and the smelting technology of human beings is not top-notch among intelligent races, especially the technology of those folk blacksmith shops is very ordinary.The low smelting technology resulted in the high price of fine armor, and the supply was often in short supply.Even for some aristocratic families, it is not easy to support more than a plurality of heavy armored troops-you see, some families of entrusted knights often regard the armor worn by their ancestors as a family heirloom, and pass it down; It is a group of players full of local tyrants, and a complete set of heavy armor equipment will not become popular until around the silver level.

This black figure lurking within the stench was none other than Ian who had entered the Dewey family manor after nightfall.For him, as long as the opponent has no spell-casting units and the possibility of magic traps is ruled out, then this large manor cannot stop him.

So far, Ian has not seen any signs of the Dewey family having a spell-casting unit.After all, if there was a spellcaster in this nobleman, he would have already sent them to participate in the siege of Black Wing, so why would he wait until now.

In Ian's eyes, from around midnight, all the armed forces in the manor were mobilized at once.The original patrol team consisting of only ten people was increased to twenty heavy armored guards, and they were divided into five small teams to patrol the open edge of the manor in turn.It can be said that such a strict guard force can almost ensure that not even a rabbit can run into the current Dewey Manor.

However, shortly after nightfall, Ian took care of the three crappy killers.Even Pierre, who was at the iron level, only lasted for a few more minutes under his oppressive style of play—it is no exaggeration to say that Pierre, who had hardly made any progress after entering the iron level, In Ian's eyes, he is an out-and-out weak chicken. He can only perform swordsmanship according to the sword manual, and he is simply unable to exert the strength that a physics professional who has mastered fighting spirit should have.

When Ian cut Pierre's throat with a sword in the frontal fight, the collapsed Bill revealed the identity of the messenger behind them all in one go, in exchange for a way out.

After killing Pierre, Ian gained more than 500 experience points. In fact, he didn't care how much experience Bill, a white fighter, could contribute to the experience pool he was accumulating.However, even if he kept his promise and did not attack Bill, the unfortunate guy with serious abdominal injuries eventually died of internal organ damage and excessive bleeding.

There are not a few ordinary people killed by Bill in his life, and this kind of death is probably an ending he never imagined.

Just when Ian was hesitating whether to go to this so-called "Dewey family" to find out what happened, the long-silent Azure system unexpectedly refreshed a side mission.

"Trigger task (branch line): kill the mastermind behind the attacker*2, task reward: 20000Exp, skill point*3, task failure: basic skill level -1, whether to accept (yes/no)"

"!!!"

"I go!"

After being shocked, Ian decisively accepted this sudden side mission.

20000Exp represents one-third of the sum of the experience points he gained from killing all the beasts in the Forest of Elan, which is by no means a small number for players in the white stage; and the second reward can be ignored The skill points that directly increase the skill level for proficiency have always been one of the intangible resources that players are most eager for. Until now, the number of skill points displayed on Ian's skill panel is still zero.

Generally speaking, tasks involving skill points must at least complete the task steps above the fifth ring. not available.It is conceivable that the rewards given by this side mission are not insignificant.

Because of this, Ian didn't have too many entanglements about whether to accept this side quest. What's more, he was stepped on by an unknown noble family for no reason.

Soon, Ian found three identical horn heraldic patterns on the lining of the attacker's clothes. According to his heraldic knowledge and previous life memory, this so-called Dewey family did not have much background, at most That is to say, the ancestors had a glorious past, and with the grace of their ancestors, it has been passed down to this day. There are countless such nobles in the vast Ryan Empire.

Although he didn't know why this family attacked him, Ian clearly remembered that in his previous life, any nobles or nobles who dared to give the player their claws eventually became the resources and nourishment for the player to upgrade.

Covered with a veil and turned into a black wing, Ian found out the location of the Dewey family's manor from the tavern in Rob Town for only one silver oak leaf. Immediately, he left the town all the way in the dark , During the normal patrol of the guards, they sneaked into the Dewey family's manor and lurked by the dirty and smelly stables.

Ian, who has been lurking for a long time, has figured out the patrol rules of those heavily armored guards. He has remained motionless for at least three hours. After observing for so long, basically every guard’s He can remember the face clearly.

Just as Ian thought, these heavy armor guards are almost the entire strength of the Dewey family.In fact, supporting such a private army whose strength is at the peak of the White Rank is already the limit that the Dewey family can afford.As for the guards in charge of internal patrols, those are actually a group of slightly stronger ordinary people, some of them are farmers who are struggling to make ends meet, and some are slaves bought by the Jazz from Rob Town. The sword is already very good, not to mention the decent armor.

Right now, Ian's small map is full of moving orange dots, which represent guards on patrol. If Ian is discovered by them, there is no doubt that these nearby orange dots will instantly upgrade to represent active attacks. The red dots all surrounded him.

"The reward of three skill points is really not so easy to get."

Realizing that the task could only be accomplished by assassination, Ian calmly analyzed all known information.According to his judgment, the guards who were suddenly divided into five groups and frequently patrolled at midnight must have received orders from the master, and the Dewey family, as the owners of the manor, was obviously feeling uneasy and threatened by the three killers who had not been heard from.

However, the strength of the white-rank guards is limited after all, not to mention that they are wearing heavy steel armor. According to their current patrol mode, if they want to maintain it overnight, they will inevitably consume a lot of energy.At the same time, this night was also an extremely energy-consuming torment for the mastermind behind the three killers who could not determine the real situation.In this way, if you choose to do it in the second half of the night when the human body instinctively needs the most rest, it will greatly increase the chance of a successful assassination.

In the shadows, Ian, who had made up his mind, continued to wait patiently.Just like a wild beast before predating, he will quietly lurk until the most suitable time before starting his own actions.
