Lord: I have a skill talent tree

The Midnight Circus does not refer to the kind of circus that performs acrobatics for people's entertainment, but the name of a killer organization.

Ethan had heard of this organization in college. It was said that this killer organization was extremely large and covered the entire Aslan Empire.

Not only the Aslan Empire, it should be said that wherever there are human activities, there are traces of them.

The killers inside are all called clowns because they wear clown masks every time they act.

He is used to assassinating with all kinds of strange tools, such as buttons, pins, and playing cards.

These are common everyday things that most people won’t be wary of at all.

The concealment of assassination methods is already a headache, but there are even more headaches.

As long as the money is enough, he will kill everyone from the emperor to the homeless. Once he accepts a task, he will not stop fighting and must complete the task.

Until now, I have never heard that they have tasks that they cannot complete.

This unrelenting nature has made countless nobles sleepless and hungry, and they hate them to the core.

Because of this, Emperor Aslan personally ordered the encirclement and suppression of this organization several times. However, this organization is very good at disguise and can safely escape the encirclement and suppression every time.

As a result, several failed encirclement and suppression campaigns failed to hit them, but instead made their reputation stronger and stronger.

Now that he knew that he was being targeted by this organization, Ethan felt half-hearted.

"I didn't expect Rand to think so highly of me that he would invite the Midnight Circus."

"What is coming is a killer who uses playing cards. This probably means that the other party is a supernatural killer. Otherwise, how can playing cards kill people without the blessing of the Force?"

"It's terrible this time! How can we pass this level?"

"Even if we can pass tonight's test, there will be no peaceful days in the future."

"The damn midnight circus!"

Ethan spat in his mind, quickly gave up his anxiety and accepted his fate.

Of course, accepting your fate does not mean waiting for death.

Ethan immediately stabilized his mind, considered countermeasures, and constantly encouraged himself.

No matter how difficult the situation is, we must not lose hope.

At this time, the most important thing is confidence.

"Since you have no failure cases, I will be the first!"

Ethan took a deep breath, picked up his sword, and walked out of the bar.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Ethan looked around. Although he didn't see the figure and couldn't sense the person's breath, he was sure that the other person must be nearby.

“My advantage now is that the opponent does not realize that he has been discovered. If I can catch him by surprise and attack first, I may be able to kill him with one blow.

Of course, the premise is that he takes the initiative to approach him. "

Wanting to understand this, Ethan pretended to be nonchalant and walked around the street casually.

At the same time, he recalled the terrain of Maruo City and wanted to find a favorable position.

"Since you can't decide the time of assassination, you must at least choose a favorable terrain. This way, if the first option does not work, there is an alternative."

"The opponent uses playing cards as a weapon, so it must be extraordinary. But as long as he is not using a melee weapon, his blocking skills should be strong enough to block the playing cards."

"In this case, with unlimited blocking and unlimited counterattacks, we should be able to kill the opponent."

"The only thing we have to consider is not to let him escape. Otherwise, we will have to be in fear every day from now on."

"So it would be nice to have a cage-like terrain so that we can kill him."

"As for replacing someone to assassinate me, let's wait until someone is replaced!"

Ethan thought as he walked.

Suddenly, I felt someone following me behind me.

"Yes, this is the breath!"

Ethan did not look back, his steps and breathing were not disordered, he maintained his original rhythm and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

"Hurry up and follow me. Come on! Aren't you going to kill me? Come on! Come close to me!"

Ethan yelled in his heart, his energy gradually reaching its peak, waiting for the opponent to get close to the sword and strike with thunder.

But the killer behind him kept a distance of 25 to 30 meters. He was neither too close nor too far away. He was just hanging, and he didn't know what he wanted to do?

Ethan had known that the other party was very patient and thought that if he didn't give him a chance, he probably wouldn't be fooled.

I happened to see a stall ahead selling sausages and other snacks.

So I walked forward, ordered a few grilled sausages, and stood there quietly waiting.

And behind a corner not far behind him, Eric was leaning against the wall.

He is indeed the killer of the Midnight Circus as Ethan thought, and he is indeed here to assassinate Ethan.

Eric's parents died very early, and his family property was taken away by relatives. He started living on the streets at the age of 5. Because of a mouthful of food, he joined the Midnight Circus and began training as a killer since he was a child.

Since he awakened to the Force at the age of 13, his life has been like cheating, and his strength has grown rapidly.

When he grew up, the first thing he did was to kill the relatives and his entire family who had taken away his family property.

But because it was my first time to act and I was inexperienced, I was accidentally killed and almost got killed.

Although he finally killed the opponent, he left a deep scar on his face because of his carelessness.

It was also this scar that always reminded him to be extra careful every time he took action. Even if there was a trace of uncertainty, he would not take action.

Because of his cautious temperament, he has never failed in his thirty-year career as a killer, and has gradually become the top killer in the Midnight Circus.

Although the target today was only a sixteen-year-old kid, Eric did not underestimate him. Instead, he hesitated for a long time because he could not find the perfect time to assassinate him.

Assassination does not rely on extraordinary strength to fight the opponent head-on.

That is not assassination, that is called a duel. Don't do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

The best way to assassinate is to take the opponent by surprise and shoot a cold arrow. Just seek the result, not the gorgeousness.

In fact, there were several opportunities for assassination along the way.

There were people passing by Ethan on the street from time to time. At this time, as long as he took advantage of the crowd, pretended to be a passerby, walked past the opponent, and then suddenly attacked, he could solve the opponent neatly.

But Eric did not do this. His intuition told him that it was very dangerous.

"I haven't encountered such a tough opponent in many years!"

"Although he always had his back to me, he was very alert. Even when he entered the crowd, he always kept a position where he could draw his sword at any time."

"And he seemed to have discovered me."

"How did he sense me when he was so far away from me and kept hiding his breath?"

"Is it an illusion?"

Just as Eric was thinking about countermeasures, he found that Ethan was eating sausage while walking.

And he was holding sausages in both hands, and he immediately felt that the opportunity had come, but as soon as the idea came up, he immediately gave up.

"If the opponent really discovered me, I would drop the sausage and draw the sword, and it would not waste any time. No way!"

At this time, he found that Ethan suddenly turned into an alley, and there was a strange sound coming from it!

Afraid of losing the target, Eric had no time to think about it and hurriedly followed him, but when he reached the alley, he found that the opponent had suddenly disappeared.

So he quickly quickened his pace to catch up, but after walking along the alley for a while, he still didn't see the opponent's figure.

And he was surprised to find that this alley was actually a dead end.

"Not good!"

When Eric realized something was wrong, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky...
