[Chapter 68 The Assassin of Unknown Origin]

Winter Village was upgraded to Winter Town, and David had a good idea to rush from the Middle Ages to the electrical age. However, in reality, if he wanted to really do it, even if he used a cheat, he would have to overcome a lot of difficulties. Only by working hard step by step could he achieve his goal. “

I’ve used a cheat, I can definitely do it.”

He encouraged himself in his heart and turned back to find Laura. Before he even reached the cafeteria, Laura had finished her meal and came out to find him.

“Do you want to practice archery together?”

“Okay, I just had a full meal, it’s very suitable for some simple activities.”

Taking the bows and arrows, axes and guns, David and Laura walked towards the forest in the north.

At the edge of the Winter Forest (like the Winter River, this forest was eventually named the Winter Forest), there was a simple shooting range built by David and his team. This place is a certain distance away from the village, so as to avoid disturbing the people in the village.

Gradually, not only archery and guns were practiced here, but also things like fighting and sparring would be specially run here.

When Laura and David came over, they met Peggy and Sharon who had just finished practicing and were going to have lunch.

“Practicing bows and arrows?” Peggy noticed the bows and arrows in David and Laura’s hands and knew what they were going to practice: “Why are you carrying axes?”

“You need to practice frequently with hand axes to keep your feel.” David gently tossed the axe in his hand. As a hunter, his best melee weapon was the axe, and he could also throw a flying axe when necessary: “I don’t want to give up this craft.”

“Maybe you can also practice flying shields. I think they are much cooler than hand axes.” Sharon has been here for so long and has gradually become familiar with everyone. She is no longer as silent as when she first came. She shows the vitality that a young girl should have, and often jokes with everyone: “You can also match it with a hand axe. When the time comes, one hand will have a flying axe and the other a flying shield. It must be very powerful.” The

three women and one man present almost instantly imagined David holding an axe in one hand and a shield in the other. Regardless of how powerful it is, it looks very interesting.

“Haha, that’s a good suggestion. I’ll consider it!”

After a few jokes, Sharon and Peggy didn’t even stop and went straight to the cafeteria. David and Laura walked to the simple shooting range, each chose a target and started practicing.

Although it was located at the edge of the forest, the target was not placed with its back to the forest, but with its back to the open land in the northeast to ensure that there would be no accidental injuries due to practice. People in the village would go into the forest to collect wild fruits and vegetables. When they practiced outside, they might not be able to see people in the forest, which might cause accidental injuries.

Things like targets should be placed in open places to be safe.

The two took out their bows and arrows, each chose a target and started practicing. Both of them had very strong archery skills, and hitting the bull’s eye was no longer something to be happy about. In order to achieve the effect of practice, Laura and David began to toss in various ways.

For example, David wanted to spell the English word for assassin on the target, but was intercepted by Laura halfway, and the arrow was shot down before it could land on the target.

Later, Laura’s arrows to spell the cavalry were also destroyed by David. With her best rapid shooting, she shot the entire target into a hedgehog in an instant, and no words could be spelled.

Unhappy, Laura directly used the holy light shooting that she had learned from dealing with the Holy Trinity some time ago. The arrows infused with powerful holy light directly blew David’s target into pieces.

“…”

The target is broken, how can I practice this?

Laura rolled her eyes, saying that it was all David’s fault that it turned out like this.

“I’m going home, you can slowly repair the target here!” It’s better to say that it’s a new target than a repair. The target that was shot into a hedgehog can no longer be used.

Laura pulled out all the arrows on the target and put them away. By the way, she also took David’s hunting bow. Finally, she waved to the helpless David and left with a smile, leaving David to work slowly here.

Watching Laura leave, David could only honestly repair (remake) the target. Fortunately, this was not a complicated job, and everyone’s requirements for the target were not high. David could quickly complete the production of two new targets with just the axe in his hand.

After working hard for a while, two new large-shaped targets stood on the open ground. David looked at them and nodded with satisfaction, then kept tossing the axe in his hand up and down, until the axe fell into his hand again, and suddenly swept it behind him.

There was no reason, nor did he discover anything, but he just felt that he should chop in this direction. David also felt that this sudden feeling made no sense, and he seemed to be able to ignore it.

But he still chose to act according to this sudden feeling, and he really got an unexpected reward.

The axe in his hand didn’t chop anything, but when he turned around and swung the axe to chop at the “air”, he could see a transparent human figure quickly dodging backwards and avoiding his axe.

“This is…”

David reacted quickly. Although the human figure was only vaguely visible, and even made people suspect that he was dazzled, he firmly believed that his eyes were definitely not wrong. Something had just sneaked behind him, which was not a good thing! He

turned around with the swinging action, raised his left hand to his head and released a fierce holy light.

The sudden burst of flashes almost filled the space around David, and the golden light drove away all the darkness.

David, who released the flash spell, finally saw the true appearance of the figure – it was indeed a person.

“Temple priest?”

The masked man, whose invisibility was removed by the holy light and whose body was exposed, looked at David in surprise, but at the same time he also took a fighting posture with his left hand holding a dagger in front of him and his right hand holding a dagger at his side.

“The followers of Lumiere are so quick. They actually sent people to such a remote place without making any noise.”

David was confused by this man’s words. He didn’t understand what this guy was saying at all. However, he remained calm on the surface and just stared at the masked man opposite him vigilantly.

“Did the Forrest family send you?”

The other party was stunned for a moment after hearing David’s question, and then simply denied David’s guess: “No.”

“Huh?” David carefully observed the other party’s reaction. The other party didn’t seem to be lying, which made him very confused: “Not an assassin from the Forrest family? Who could it be?”

So far, he has only had conflicts with the Forrest family. Apart from that, he has not made enemies with other people. If this assassin was not sent by the Forrest family, why did they assassinate him?

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party did not tell the truth and deliberately answered like this to distract his attention. In addition, David was concerned about what this person had mentioned before, such as the priests of the temple and the followers of Lumiere. This guy seemed to have misunderstood something.

Putting the hatchet on his waist, David deliberately put on a “safe posture” with no defense: “Since it is not an assassin of the Forrest family, this may be a misunderstanding.” The

man on the opposite side was obviously hesitant. Although he continued to maintain a fighting posture, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he asked David a question that made him a little confused: “Have you betrayed your beliefs and defected to the remnants of the old gods?”

“…” David maintained his superficial calmness, his mind was turning quickly to think about how to answer this question. In the end, after thinking about it, he could only say: “I still stick to my beliefs.”

The assassin on the opposite side seemed to relax a little and asked again: “How long have you come to the Kingdom of Tiran in hiding?”

“It has been many years.”

David remained calm and said ambiguous words. He felt that his answer was good and maybe he could get more information.

Unexpectedly, the opponent turned hostile the next second: “You are not a temple priest at all!” As soon as this sentence was spoken, a cloud of green smoke exploded under David’s feet.

The masked assassin took advantage of the explosion of the poisonous smoke trap and rushed to David in an instant. The dagger with a blue light passed through the poisonous smoke and accurately stabbed David.

“It feels wrong!”

And the expected scene did not happen. The assassin found that the young man in front of him was still standing there steadily, and was ready to grab his hand holding the dagger.

“What’s going on?”

The assassin who chose to retreat at the first time pulled the distance between him and David and made himself invisible again.

After careful observation, the assassin found that the young man was glowing with a faint golden glow, and his previous attack was blocked by the opponent’s magic shield.

“…”

Realizing that the target was difficult, the assassin began to consider leaving, perhaps waiting until the next time there was a better opportunity to act.

However, David was not prepared to waste time playing a cat-and-mouse game with an assassin. Faced with this situation, his choice was simple and rough.

“Devotion!”

With a light step of his right foot, the ground centered on David was injected with a huge holy light, and then the ground in the entire area was emitting a holy light.

Before the assassin, who realized that he was not in a second, could react, David had already locked his position, and followed with a very authentic holy light spell.

“Holy Fire!”

A thick and large holy fire column fell from the void, accurately hitting the assassin who was locked. Faced with this attack, the assassin did not even have time to shout or express his surprise, and was engulfed by the huge and scorching holy flames. The whole person turned into fuel for the flames in an instant.

As the holy fire burned, David noticed a slight cracking sound around him, and he finally noticed the abnormality: it was too quiet just now, as if there was an invisible barrier that blocked all sounds. It was this silence that made David feel something was wrong, and then he discovered the assassin who had been burned to charcoal.

“It’s a pity that I couldn’t ask more useful information.”
