Chapter 12 Shadow Warrior
Rennes sat in the cafe for half an afternoon. In the evening, the students from the swordsman hall came out in groups of three or five. Not long after, the staff of the swordsman hall also got off work.
Several carriages gathered from all over the place and stopped at the entrance of the swordsman hall.
As one of the best swordsmanship museums in Longshande City, each of the teachers of Maloney's Sword is extraordinary and has a very high salary, so they can afford to hire carriages and pick them up and drop off work on time every day.
Renne's eyes fell on several coachmen, and he soon found the carriage that Esberg was riding in, and he had seen it several times before.
But this coachman was not the one who drove the carriage rental company last time. He came from a carriage rental company and was only in an employment relationship with Esberg.
After receiving the carriages, they left, and soon a familiar figure appeared in their sight.
This is a tall and thin man, about thirty-five years old, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are very vivid, and a warm smile on his face makes people feel very friendly. He walked and talked, laughing, and behaved appropriately.
"Esberg."
Rennes looked at the man hundreds of meters away, and snorted coldly in his heart.
If it weren't for personal experience, who would have thought that Esberg, who has always been famous for his good popularity in the swordsman hall, was a bloody executioner in private.
Two young men followed Esberg, both around twenty years old.
One of them was Ramsey, the other one, but he didn't know him. He should be the new assistant recruited by the Sword Museum for Esberg.
After Esberg sent the female teacher into the car very gentlemanly, he turned around and told the two assistants to ask them to get off work, and he also got on the carriage.
The carriage was driving towards the cafe.
Renne wanted to get up and avoid it in advance, but saw that in the other direction, Ramsey had left the swordsman's hall. It was difficult to track it up now, so he decided to sit still and wait for the carriage to approach.
Among these two people, Esberg must be the main one, and Esberg is the most threatening one. If you want to find their secret stronghold outside the city, you naturally have to start exploring it from Esberg.
As for Ramsey, he is just an ordinary person, and it is too easy to solve him.
A few hundred meters away, Rennes had already adjusted the direction of his seat, facing away from the carriage, and raised the newspaper in his hand to block most of his face.
Tatta...
As the carriage drove quickly past the street in front of the cafe, Renne's eyes crossed the upper edge of the newspaper, looking straight at the glass window of the carriage, and just saw half of Esberg's body and side face.
Just one glance, the soul was seen through.
The whole process lasted less than two seconds. Esberg sat in the carriage and closed his eyes and rested without noticing that someone was observing him on the roadside.
Rennes slowly put down the newspaper and looked as the carriage went away.
"So he is a second-level shadow warrior."
Until then, Rennes could not confirm Esberg's extraordinary profession.
Although he saw Esberg killing with his own eyes, the only feeling at that time was that he was fast!
Esberg not only steps faster, but also has faster swords in his hand. This is pure speed suppression, and ordinary people are killed before they can react.
There are several extraordinary professions that can have this speed, the most common ones are "Ranker" and "Shadow Warrior", both of which are known for their speed.
However, the fighting styles of Ranger and Shadow Warrior are completely different. If you make a mistake, you will have to pay a heavy price.
The first core element of the Ranger is the "dexterous hand". The hands have a super touch and are extremely flexible. The control of one's own strength is meticulous, and it moves quickly within a small range and jumps agilely. All kinds of weapons can be quickly mastered by hand.
Every ranger is a versatile weapon master, proficient in swordsmanship, shooting, dual-held weapons, climbing, throwing hidden weapons, rope art, etc., and his attack methods are often unexpected.
In contrast, Shadow Warrior is more monotonous.
But monotony does not mean weakness. The core element of Shadow Warrior is "Shadow Escape". He is good at lurking in the shadows, hiding his body, and his steps are light and fast. He often gives a fatal blow when the enemy is most unexpected.
Renn discovered the element of shadow escape in Esberg's soul and determined that he was a shadow warrior.
In addition, Esberg's soul structure has two layers.
Through observing those extraordinary people in the hotel these days, Renn knew that with each fusion of a demon soul, the internal structure of the soul will be one level, and the profession level will be increased by one level.
Two layers of soul structure, which shows that Esberg is a second-level shadow warrior, integrating a main soul and a secondary soul.
The main souls of the Shadow Warrior are the same, the demon souls from the "Siding Shadow Demon Spider" get the shadow escape element.
Esberg does not have the second element ability. This may be because when he reaches level 2, he still chooses to use the hidden shadow demon spider as his secondary soul to continue to enhance the shadow escape element; it is also possible that he has merged with other demon souls, but conflicts with the main soul, resulting in the loss of elements.
This situation is not uncommon, even normal.
The conflict between demon souls is the most troublesome problem for extraordinary people, no doubt about it.
Most demon souls are difficult to compatible, and conflicts will arise, which greatly increases the difficulty of fusion. At the least, the elements will be lost and new abilities will not be obtained. It simply improves the strength of one's soul.
What's even worse is that not only does the soul not improve, but also the original elements are affected, and their strength does not advance but retreats.
Therefore, in order to avoid or reduce conflicts, many extraordinary people make the most conservative choices and combine the same magic soul to enhance existing elements.
Because the investigation time is too short, Renne doesn't know if Esberg's shadow escape element has been enhanced, but it's enough to know that he is a shadow warrior.
When the carriage drove far away, Renn stood up and speeded up to follow.
It is now off work time, with many pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and the carriages were slowed down again and again, which made Rennes easily follow him.
Following the carriage hundreds of meters away, Rennes was not afraid of being noticed by Esberg.
The carriage went west, and stopped and stopped for more than half an hour.
When the sky got darker and the gas lights on the roadside came on, the carriage finally arrived at the destination, entered a large house west of Honeyton District, and soon came out and left.
Apparently, Esberg was no longer in the car, and this was his residence.
Rain did not approach him rashly, but observed the surrounding environment.
Next to Esberg's house is the Ferregron River, which divides the entire city of Longshande into two parts from south to north.
The east bank of the river is the main urban area, including three districts, Honeyton, Los and Ryan Flar, which occupies two-thirds of the city's area, and more than 90% of the population live here.
The remaining 100% of the population lives on the west bank of the Felegron River, which is the Silver Star Region.
The Superior Academy and the Duke's Wizard Tower are both in the Silver Star District, which naturally becomes a place where the upper classes in Longshande City are gathered, which is what people call aristocratic area.
Esberg's house is located in a very good location, only a river from the Noble District, and is the most expensive area in the Honeyton District.
From here you can see a towering building on the horizon to the west, with a strong light ray of light coming from the top, like eyes scanning around.
This is the wizard tower of Duke of Silver Star.
Any movement within the range of the light scanned by the ray of light will be noticed by the Wizard Tower as soon as possible.
In other words, Esberg's house is also under the protection of the Wizard Tower, and it is the most unwise choice to do it at his home.
Renn looked at the Wizard Tower from afar, shook his head and could only leave.
The next afternoon, Rennes followed Ramsey after get off work at the Sword Museum and found the other party's address.
Ramsey lives in a high-end apartment not far from the Sword Museum, with many people and eyes, and no chance to find a chance to do it. And killing Ramsey is useless, which will only alarm Esberg.
Renne was not impatient and stayed in the swordsmanship for several days in a row, waiting patiently for the opportunity.
Because he knew that these two people would definitely not be able to help but launch another attack.
This wait took eight days, almost half a month after Renn traveled to Ellen's Sea. When the landlord was about to find the tenant missing, Renn finally waited for the opportunity.
Esberg got off work as usual, but today he was not the usual carriage.
Renn recognized at a glance that the carriage was the one he picked up at the back door of the Perfume Street bar that night. He suddenly felt refreshed and thought, would he be going to do it tonight?
However, something unexpected was that Ramsey got in the car as well.
The carriage headed south, as if it was about to leave the city.
Rennes then followed, and sure enough, the carriage left Longshande soon and he accelerated to run on the avenue.
"This should be going to their secret stronghold." Rennes was surprised and happy. This was the opportunity he was waiting for.
But the carriage was too fast, and he couldn't keep up.
Fortunately, he absorbed the soul of the fallen man last time, and his power surged by eight squares. In addition, his physical injury completely improved, he increased by two squares, making the power reach 18%. Both physical strength and strength are much higher than ordinary people. He can barely follow the carriage far away and not lose it completely.
With the ability to night vision turned on, Rennes ran in the night and his power consumption was also accelerating.
Soon after, the carriage turned from the main road into a small road, drove for a few more minutes, and finally stopped in a secluded manor.
Rennes hid behind a tree and gasped, and then began to observe the manor secretly after calming his breath.
The manor is built next to a large ranch, and it covers a small area. It is surrounded by brick walls and surrounded by woods. The closest manor here is one kilometer away, which is very quiet.
Moreover, this place is not far from the river.
Walk along the path to the avenue and you will see the Ferregron River.
When Renn came here just now, he discovered that when he returned to Longshande that day, he passed by here. If he walked a little further south, he would be where he climbed up from the river.
He was sure that this manor was the secret stronghold of Esberg and Ramsey.
But what are these two people hiding inside?
