Chapter 96: Assassination in the Street
It’s unknown how long it will take to return to the city after this hunting trip, so Ryan also plans to purchase some necessary items.
Potion materials, musket equipment, magic scrolls, and outdoor equipment to cope with various outdoor environments. Of course, you also need to purchase several sets of potion making equipment such as test tubes and beakers to practice potion science at any time.
The last time Ryan learned the "Six Fighting Styles", he had almost spent all his cash, and buying these things was not cheap.
Fortunately, with the support of the rich man Basel, it is not a problem to borrow tens of millions.
…
"Boss, two sets of high-quality potion preparation vessels... 3,000 test reagents, 2,000 acid neutralization potions, surgical instruments, and an alloy operating table with a folding stand..."
As soon as Ryan asked, he bought enough for several years.
Boss: "Okay, a total of 5.3 million liros."
“…”
The sewer laboratory was occupied by the Winchester family, and it is estimated that all the equipment and instruments have been moved out.
Reinsso bought a set of all the surgical and experimental instruments he could find.
Unfortunately, the equipment available on the market is of much lower quality than that of Irubek Laboratory, and many customized equipment are simply nowhere to be bought... However, for him now, it is barely enough.
The "Space Storage Ring" is a magical equipment made by high-level wizards. It is a scarce commodity in other places, but in the City of Glory, the capital of wizards, it is a high-end item that anyone with money can buy.
Anyway, too much debt is always a burden, so he took advantage of the rich man Basel and borrowed a small amount.
Various supplies filled several storage rings.
…
Now that everything is ready, Ryan is thinking about going to the news merchant Hook to see if there is any news about Boss Ymir.
But the accident happened quietly...
Suddenly, Bazel walked quickly towards them from the other side of the street.
As they passed by, he said in an unusually serious tone: "I smell the scent of dirty vampires, they are nearby! They must be coming for me. I will lead them away, you be careful..."
“…”
Ryan's heart also tightened when he heard this.
He didn't say anything, but strode away in the opposite direction of Bazel.
This was also the strategy the two had agreed upon when they were in danger.
The enemies who dare to chase and kill Basel must be high-level warriors. Ryan, a first-level rookie, can't get involved at all, so naturally he stays as far away as possible.
Besides, it would be more convenient for Basel to fight or flee alone, and he didn't need any help from others.
…
"How did those vampires find out about Bazel's whereabouts?"
As Ryan walked, he wondered what went wrong.
Basel is a legendary figure who is a werewolf skilled in tracking. He has guarded against almost all behaviors that might reveal his whereabouts.
No showing, no talking, no taking action… and no contact with outsiders recently.
Even for mysterious transcendents such as [Prophet] and [Fortune Teller], it doesn't matter if they are positioned as low-level transcendents; but the price to be paid to position such a legendary figure is definitely not something that ordinary high-level transcendents can afford.
Therefore, it seems very abnormal that his whereabouts were exposed this time.
Werewolves are very sensitive to the smell of vampires. Since Basel is sure that there is the scent of vampires nearby, he must be right.
"I hope he can escape this disaster..."
Ryan could do nothing but pray silently.
He blended in with the crowd, trying his best not to let people see any connection between him and Basel.
…
On the other hand, Basel was also very confused. His current disguise was almost impeccable. How did those vampires discover him?
The aura of that vampire is very strong, and it seems that his rank is not low.
In order not to implicate Ryan, he thought about walking as far away as possible so that if a fight broke out, the only doctor who could treat his injuries would not be affected.
But as they walked, Basel became confused.
He found that the vampire's breath was not chasing him closely, but was running farther and farther in the opposite direction.
"Is it just a vampire who accidentally passed by the 'Glorious City'?"
Basel was very puzzled.
Maybe I was just overthinking it and it was just a coincidence?
His preconceived idea made him never doubt that it was a problem with Ryan. After all, in his mind , how could a first-level little [Awakener] be targeted by a high-level vampire and be hunted down in person?
At this time, he stopped, and then, under the cover of a shop on the street, he looked into the crowd in the distance.
Then, he quickly locked onto the vampire in the crowd, as well as his accomplices the assassin and the black-robed warlock.
The formation of the three people was obviously a classic "triangle siege". It was obvious that they were about to take action, but their target was not him at all!
At this moment, Bazel suddenly realized: "Oh no! Those guys are going after Ryan!"
Although his strength is limited by the [Silver Holy Weapon], how sharp is his perception?
The moment he saw the hooded assassin's dagger flash with cold light, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted in his heart: "Damn it! What did that kid do before that he would be targeted by the vampires..."
Vaguely , this legendary boss also guessed that Ryan might have some "dark history" before he met him!
But now is not the time to consider this issue. No matter whether it is the guard contract or his own injuries, Basel absolutely does not want to see Ryan being killed in front of him.
Without any hesitation, he pushed the ground hard, and the huge force under his feet created a spider-web-like crack on the solid floor.
Whoosh~
In the blink of an eye, Basel's skin was covered with silver hair... Like lightning, a burly silver figure rushed into the street.
But it's too late!
The safe distance that he had just kept in order not to implicate Ryan has now become the biggest obstacle for him to save people!
…
Quinn is the best among the third-level assassins.
He was a professional killer, and if he wanted to assassinate a first-level rookie, there would be no chance for the person to react.
When outsiders saw the cold light of his dagger, the blade had already touched the target's neck.
"not good!"
Ryan didn't notice anything at all. The cold light on Ben's neck made his hair stand on end instantly.
A sense of crisis of death suddenly hit my head, as if I fell into an icy cave.
He never thought that someone would assassinate him in the street.
But when he caught a glimpse of the familiar black dagger, he instantly guessed the identity of the person who came, "The leader of the Weasel Group, Quinn!"
In an instant, I suddenly realized.
Damn it, Quinn didn’t die by Storm Lake, but chased all the way to the City of Glory!
At this moment, Ryan finally understood that the danger was not Basel, but himself.
He also didn't expect that these guys would dare to kill people in the street!
The next moment, the cold dagger quietly passed over the neck, and the movement was as smooth as a breeze blowing, and it could even kill a person without feeling any pain...
Almost at the same time, the black-robed warlock not far away pinched the green skull in his hand, muttering a strange spell, trying to extract Ryan's soul; and Quinn also touched the storage ring in his hand, wanting to take the body away.
The original plan was perfect. They could kill one and capture the other, and they could complete the assassination mission without even the passers-by on the street noticing.
But...the unexpected still happened.
Ryan's "corpse" leaned back and looked like it was about to fall down...
But the two people who took action were shocked .
Black robe warlock: "Huh... can't you strip the soul?"
Quinn: "Huh... the corpse can't be stored in the storage ring?"
A moment later, they understood...the target was not dead? !
