Survival: King Picking Game

"..."

For some reason, David's face darkened.

But he didn't say much on this topic, but quickly changed to the next topic.

"What should I call you, Pretender."

--[pretender].

A magician hiding in the dark.

In the society of many mysterious side gamers, he is already a guy with a certain reputation.

Of course, this is probably not a good thing for the "pretender" himself.

Because he uses "assassination" and "sneak attack" as his main fighting methods, he is called the "mage killer".As a "killer", too much fame is generally not a good thing.

However, the impact of leaking fame is likely to be beneficial to the "pretender".In addition to being able to receive more commissions and get more rewards, it is also because his method of killing—just like his nickname "Pretender", is to perform different personalities by changing different identities. And personality, pretending to be a different "person", so as to approach the target, deceive the target's trust, and finally strike mercilessly.

"Name" and "fame" are meaningless to him.

This kind of enemy hidden in the dark is undoubtedly the most troublesome type.And it's hard to think of a way to counter it.Unless one can really see through the opponent's "disguise", the target targeted by this "killer" will only become suspicious even if he is vigilant, suspecting relatives and friends, but still can't do anything.

"Pretenders" have also used this method in the past-making the target become extreme and narrow in the day-to-day anxiety, betraying relatives, and even having a nervous breakdown under pressure and pain...In the end, even the strength of resistance disappeared, and it was easy. Take your life.

The reputation of the "Pretender" also became notorious among the players after that assassination.

After all, what no one wants to face is the knife from the companion behind.What is likely to be caused-is a double blow from the body and the mind.

……

According to some gossip, the "pretender" is actually a follower of a well-known evil god.

That god, in the famous fantasy world—"A Song of Ice and Fire", has the incarnation of the god of death named "God of Thousand Faces"—he is called like this, and was given a long history by a huge Served by the religious assassin group - "The Faceless".

As believers of the "God of Thousand Faces" and "God of Faceless", the pretender has accidentally received a generous gift from the gods. In fact, his assassination skills have already surpassed all members of the "Faceless" organization in history. .

A "pretender" is a person who is favored by the power of a thousand faces.It is said that, as a member of the god's family, he can have a thousand identities at the same time, each of which is "real" in the eyes of the Pang people—and it is indeed real.

Just because it is "real", some existences with powerful mana will be deceived.

With the gift of the power of the evil god, the pretender can walk on the road of assassinating other players so smoothly.

A considerable number of mysterious side players died under his hands, and many of them were powerful magicians.

With their wisdom and the vast amount of magic they have mastered, they were unable to see through the killer's "disguise". Apart from the power of the "evil god" from the high-dimensional universe, there seems to be no other more reasonable explanation.

……

Facing such a terrible killer with a vicious reputation, David revealed his identity indifferently.

If we want to talk about the reasons, on the one hand, the young man has full confidence in his own strength; on the other hand, it is because... the pretender and him, in this scene, are partners.

——That was a contract signed under the witness of the central system.No one can violate it.

……

The skinny man was silent for a moment, then replied hoarsely.

"You should know. My identity is originally your subordinate, right? The 'Ancient and Cursed Dark Wizard' Sarle..."

"I mean, your real name."

David interrupted the pretender.

"I don't have a name."

The pretender who acted as "Sarle" answered very simply this time.

——"Because, I am a person without a face."

"...That's it."

"So, this time, what's the matter with Master David looking for his subordinates?"

The skinny and dark old man saluted the young man respectfully.

For some reason, David's thinking was at that moment—somewhat in a trance.

……so similar.

The other party's tone, eyes, attitude, and voice are all similar to "Sarle"—the tribal wizard who is loyal to his father Owen Resthal, and the player who took care of him when he was a child—no matter which details are different. exactly the same.

However, David knew better than anyone else.

At this moment, the one wearing the coat of "Sarle" is a killer.

Salle is dead.

Chapter 948

—Sarle, is dead.

The loyal old man, Owen Ressar's right-hand man, the elder who had taken care of David for a long time, the old man who he valued and respected the most in his childhood, died three days ago.

No one knows this better than David.

To ask why.
