Chapter 287 A surprise encounter
in Shaman City, Ganouen and Anya were walking on the road.
"Our people have been living there disguised as wanderers. According to the information she sent, the mage returned to the village the day before yesterday and is still staying there. Normally she will stay in the village for about five days, so we You should visit as soon as possible." Anya whispered.
"Yeah." Ganon nodded towards her.
"Going to see that mage rashly may arouse the other party's wariness, so I suggest that we first start contact through her apprentice who is active in Sandman City. We can pretend to be a pair of explorers who have retrieved some magic weapons from the ruins, and then ask for help. I want to see the Master in the name of the Master." Anya said.
"Yeah." Ganon nodded again.
"Our investigation found that the mage seemed to pay more attention to some mixed-race children. She had taken the initiative to accept three mixed-race apprentices. I think you might be able to start from this point..." Anya continued.
"Yeah." Ganon responded.
"You just said yes when I told you. Why are you staring at me?" Anya finally couldn't help it anymore.
"I feel like you're a little too busy today. You didn't say a word on the way here, and now you're still keeping a subtle distance from me." Ganon said and moved closer to Anya.
"I've always been so serious, why are you so close?" Anya glanced at him coldly.
"There are thieves everywhere in Shaman City. I just sold a batch of goods and I have so many platinum coins on me. What if it gets stolen without you watching?" Ganouen said with a smile.
"Then you either give me the money, or you keep it yourself." Anya replied.
"Then if this money is stolen, the responsibility will be on you." Ganon said and touched his body, and his face suddenly froze.
"Hey!!" Anya panicked immediately when she saw his reaction.
Her actions today were indeed a little too concerned about Ganouen, and she was a little distracted from other things. If something goes wrong, she is to blame!
At this time Ganouen took out the intact money bag and shook it towards Anya with a smile.
Anya reacted and glared at Ganouen fiercely.
Too late, but not too long, a short figure sprang out vigorously from the side, flashed past, and the next moment the bag in Ganon's hand disappeared.
"Hey, two idiots!!" The other party mocked and rushed towards the dense crowd in front of them in the blink of an eye.
This thief turned out to be a female dwarf, and she obviously had an entry-level assassin profession. She was agile and extremely skilled at robbing things. She was obviously a habitual offender.
There is a market in front of her, and her short figure will be difficult to find as long as she squeezes into the crowd. She has succeeded many times with this method.
Only this time, she picked the wrong person.
She suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground as a flying needle appeared out of thin air on her leg, causing her excruciating pain.
When she fell to the ground, the purse in her hand was loosened, and a few platinum coins inside scattered out.
As soon as she fell to the ground, Anya moved behind her like a ghost and stepped on her back.
"You dare to steal this money? If you want to die so much, I'll grant it to you!!" The furious Anya gave the other party a violent beating, which made her beg for mercy again and again.
The onlookers were stunned when they saw the platinum coins scattered from the money bag.
This huge sum of money exudes unparalleled temptation, and the strong greed is enough to temporarily overwhelm the fragile order here.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and people immediately gathered around to take advantage of the chaos.
Anya, who was stomping on the thief with her feet, did not have her hands idle. She waved four daggers and flew out in a fan shape. Three daggers were nailed in front of the few looters who rushed forward, and another one stabbed an unlucky one. The legs of the egg.
The onlookers in front of Anya were frightened by Anya's formation on the spot, but at this time there were still several people in the blind spot behind Anya. Two guys were dazzled by the huge amount of money revealed in their wallets. Even after witnessing Anya's skills, they still chose to take risks.
A strong man rushed up from behind and smashed his fist into the back of Anya's head. The other one, who seemed more flexible, pounced directly on the money bag.
The ability to detect danger made Anya instantly aware of the sneak attack from behind. She turned her head without even looking behind her and dodged the opponent's fist accurately.
She glanced back, and her hand turned into an afterimage and moved.
When her sight touched the sneak attacker, her knife had already hit the side of the attacker's face.
Even with her bare hands, she can activate the assassin's weak points to defeat them.
It seemed like it was just a slight brush, not even a sound of collision, but the strong man seemed to have been hit in the chin by a hard uppercut, his head turned around violently, and he rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
Before the strong man's body fell to the ground, Anya's spinning kick had already sunk into the face of the guy who was rushing towards the money bag. With the crisp sound of the bridge of his nose breaking, the guy rolled out on the ground with his nose covered, leaving a mess on the ground. Bloodstains.
Anya glanced over with dagger-like eyes. This time no one dared to touch this hard problem. The thief under her feet had already been stepped on and fainted. With her strength as a master-level assassin, she has no opponent in Sandman City, and she is enough to hold the place in check.
Then she calmed down a bit and suddenly realized she had gone a little too far.
In the past, when this kind of thing happened, she would just give the dirty thief a little punishment and end it. If someone stole Ganouen's wallet, at most, he would be pricked with a dagger and see some blood.
But she was already restless today, and was deliberately teased by Ganouen. Suddenly, a snitch jumped out and snatched the trouble in the street, provoking her and Ganouen, and undoubtedly hit her on the edge of the knife.
She and Ganon's trip was mainly to meet the mage. For this reason, they deliberately disguised themselves. As a result, they made such a conspicuous noise in the market, which was obviously detrimental to their actions.
She picked up the money bag and rushed towards Ganouen who was standing there, angrily stuffing it into his arms: "It's all your fault, what's the point of taking it out to show off? You have the nerve to just watch from the sidelines?" "If I do it
, Maybe someone will die." Ganon shrugged.
This was true. With such a short reaction time, he couldn't control the force of his attack precisely.
When the thief escaped, he at least had time to throw a fireball - and if he was not careful, he might blow up everyone including the thief to bloody pieces.
"I shouldn't have come here with you, it's too much trouble." Anya pushed Ganon, "Stop hanging here and leave quickly, we are already too conspicuous!" Ganon looked at Anya and said nothing
. He grabbed her hand and started running away from the scene.
Anya opened her eyes wide, but did not break away.
The people at the scene watched their backs and watched them run away. When they turned two blocks and turned into an alley, Anya struggled for a while and finally took out her hand.
"Okay, quickly find a place to disguise yourself again, and keep your money this time!" Anya returned to her serious look and walked directly ahead.
"Okay." Ganon simply responded.
The two left the alley and came to the street. Passers-by here were still unaware of the commotion two blocks away, and no one paid special attention to them.
There is one exception.
Tens of meters away, a dark elf wearing a veil followed them silently through the crowd, his eyes basically never leaving them since they caused a commotion two blocks away.
Her eyes were not fixed on Ganouen who was carrying the money, but on Anya.
Her tracking skills were actually not inferior to Anya's. Anya hadn't noticed her yet, but she was very cautious and didn't dare to close the distance rashly and increase the risk of being discovered.
"What a surprising encounter, sister." The stalker said silently in his heart.
