Chapter 45 Carter's Ambition
Carter found a target outside the tavern door. An elderly man was walking in the direction of his walking toward the tavern. Looking at his leaking pocket, Carter knew that his target was him. The old people were slow to react, and even if they did not succeed in stealing, they could rob them. There was no need to worry about being beaten to death. Thinking of this, Carter laughed happily, approaching, and the moment the old man was about to go to the tavern, Carter passed by him, and then accidentally collided. Carter immediately said sorry, and left immediately after saying he was owed. Of course, he ran away and borrowed something by the way. Of course, he usually won't pay back if he borrowed it. You know, I won't say much.
Carter did not see the old man showing a shocked smile, and was still happy about the food today. "I didn't expect someone would dare to steal my things today. It's so bold, but this little guy is really interesting. So since I'm so destined, I'll just accept him as my apprentice." The old man remembered that he had been through this decades ago. If his teacher had not accepted him and made him a professional, he might have starved to death. Today he met a child who was squatting in a tavern like himself. It was really fate. He was about to die, but he actually met a good seedling. And he had also walked through it like this. Isn't this God's will? Although he never believed in God, today's coincidence still made him thank the gods slightly.
Then he immediately followed the child. As a high-level profession, it was impossible to be discovered. The child walked around and stopped, burying the money he had obtained from his hands here and then there. He looked very cautious. The old lurker nodded with satisfaction. In this way, even if he was caught, he would not have gained anything. At least he would have some money to spend. Like himself, he also came here like this.
Such fate and such coincidence are simply God's will. If he doesn't accept him, it will be inconvenient to heaven. The old lurker quietly walked over and followed him to a sparsely populated alley. Then he patted the child on the shoulder, which scared the other party. The old lurker obviously enjoyed this feeling, but for the sake of what happened next, he gave up this idea and pretended to be kind and said to the child: "Do you want to be a great profession, or do you want to be a lurker?"
The answer I got was of course yes, and then asked, why did you want to be a lurker? I got the answer: "I don't want to starve to death, I don't want to die like this, I want to live, I want to become a rich man, I want to be a person who can always eat full," What a simple wish, but such a simple wish cannot be realized. This is a portrayal of the people at the bottom of the city. Of course, most people can still eat full. The people in the Duffy Empire have a good life, and people who have no guarantee of life are just orphans without parents.
A surprising coincidence, the same answer as he was before. In this way, the lurker accepted Carter as a disciple and devoted all his professor Carter. After a few years, he passed away. After all, he was not a god, and his life was limited. As long as it was not a legend or a god, he would always die. Carter set a goal at this time, that is, to become a legendary lurker and carry forward the profession of lurker. However, before that, he had to find a job to support himself. As for where to go, of course he went to the military headquarters, because his teacher told him that if he didn't want to die, he should not be a killer. As a noble profession, he did not want to be a small worker to work for others, but he had no income. The lurker could not compare to a mage. They did not have the allowances issued by their guild. There was no way. Only the military headquarters met his goals and could make achievements without having to go hungry.
But!! But when he joined the military headquarters, he realized that the surface was completely cloudy, and the salary was high, but why was the casualty rate of damn was more than 50%, and he could not resign. He had to complete at least 100 tasks before he could apply to withdraw from the military headquarters. The most important thing is that if he did not do it halfway, the consequences would be very serious. It would be treated directly as a treason, which means it would be harmonious. Therefore, joining the military headquarters would be equivalent to entering the thief's nest, and he could only enter but not exit.
During the 37th mission, Carter's people who joined the military headquarters at the same time were all dead. At this time, he suddenly realized that if he continued to work, he might make achievements, but the chance of dying was much higher. At this time, he couldn't wait to find a partner who could protect him, such as high-ranking officials and powerful families, but he was just a 5th-level lurker. Who would go against the military headquarters for a 5th-level profession? People in the big family have their own professionals trained. They don't believe in outsiders at all. What's the use of senior executives and powerful officials to be a 5th-level profession? The military headquarters with low status will not miss him. Those with high status will hire people to protect themselves, and they will not trust the military headquarters at all, because most politicians and military headquarters are opposed, so this plan was aborted.
However, Carter has not given up on his idea of leaving the military headquarters. Then, with a transfer order, he was transferred to Rock City and continued to perform assassination missions. Performing assassination missions on the battlefield is much more dangerous than usual missions. This is not comparable to killing the ** officials of the Empire. And now anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Duffy Empire is at the end of its strength. If there is no accident, as long as the Rock City is broken, Duffy will be divided. Carter does not want to accompany the Duffy Empire to perish. If the Rock City is broken, then in order not to be destroyed, the Duffy Empire will definitely be used as cannon fodder to block the other party's footsteps in order not to be used as cannon fodder.
