The woman looked into Dolai's eyes without blinking, "I really mean it this time."
Dole's parents had passed away a few years earlier. All these years, he had come here alone, and having someone hold his hand, that feeling really reminded him of a lot of things.
He loosened his hand without leaving a trace, leaving the warm palm, and narrowed his eyes, "Okay."
The girl's changing voice reminded him that this was also a form of disguise, and he could do the same.
The two men returned to their corner once again, and the girl's tone returned to normal as she spoke in a hurried voice, "The noble we want to kill is a down-and-out noble who has only one guard who also acts as a butler. Here's the intelligence," she pulled out a few pieces of paper and placed them in front of Dolai.
She was not looking for teammates out of her heart, but she had been here for several days and had seen everyone else. They were all not good people, so when she saw Dolai, her eyes lit up.
The older killer had a complicated mind, and she simply couldn't trust him.
Dole looked at the woman's face for a moment, then took out the information, moved his eyes to the paper, and read it carefully.
The target they wanted to assassinate was a minor noble named Bondi. He had a hobby of abusing maids and had tortured several of them to death. One of the maids' brother was a captain in the military office. When this was discovered, the two families became enemies. Bondi was a noble, while the maid's brother was just a civilian. Under the dual pressure of the military office and the nobles, the brother had to compromise, but he was so angry that he saved up all the gold coins he had for many years and put a bounty on Bondi's head.
The girl took on this task because Bundy was guilty and was the common enemy of all women.
Bundy's address, family size, and daily activities were clearly marked on it. Dole just glanced at it and frowned.
"I have something to do during the day and can only move around at night. Although there is a lot of intelligence, I need to investigate some of it myself. Let's share the task first. I won't act alone." The risk of assassinating a noble is too great, and he doesn't want to act alone.
Hearing about the shared mission, the woman finally relaxed and said, "Okay, I can go with you then, and you can call me Lily."
Without thinking, Dolai said, "You can call me Ado."
Neither of them gave their real names.
Then, Lily handed Dole a note with an address on it, and the two agreed on where to meet when they were ready.
Dole took a look at it and put the note in his pocket.
After coming out of the Killer Guild, Dolai quickly disappeared into the darkness.
As a wizard, Dolai could feel several gazes falling on him, and then as he moved, those gazes disappeared.
Killer Guild!
Dolai knew that Cardia had no good intentions in inviting him to join the Killer Guild, but he didn't have many good ways to refuse. The Killer Guild had many things he needed, such as magic, fighting spirit, and various intelligence.
After completing a mission, Dolai automatically becomes a one-star killer, but he knows very well what the Killer Guild is. It is full of killers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for money. He needs to be careful at all times and cannot trust anyone.
Dolai was not excited after receiving a reward of more than one gold coin. It was just a one-star task. For a wizard, this reward was still rather meager, far less than what he could earn by refining mental potions by himself. Alchemy was a strong foundation that a wizard should master, because it was a legitimate way to make money, although it was also shady.
But fortunately he still knows Lao Mi.
Not long after Dolai arrived at the blacksmith shop, he quickly became a celebrity. He entered the intermediate warrior apprenticeship early and quickly got his hands on the number four hammer. The huge hammer, wielded in his hand, gave people a huge sense of oppression.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the No. 3 hammer is still easier to use. Most of the second-level blacksmiths use the No. 3 hammer, and the No. 4 hammer is commonly used by the third-level blacksmiths.
Dolai's rapid promotion to a second-level blacksmith shocked everyone in the Mondo Blacksmith Shop. Even Harley, who knew the details, couldn't help but feel a little worried. How did this guy practice? Where did he buy the medicine from? His training progress was obviously not that of an ordinary person, and was even faster than that of a noble.
But he also knew that Dolai was not a bad person and had no bad intentions. He just wanted to live a quiet life, so he just let him be. Even if he made trouble, as long as he didn't cause trouble in the blacksmith shop, it was up to him.
After being promoted to the second-level blacksmith, Duolai worked on the iron every day and felt full of strength and blood. Under the influence of his body, his bones gradually became denser and tougher, and he slowly made progress towards becoming a high-level warrior apprentice.
There is a small regret to be said. With the growth of his Qi and blood and the strengthening of his body functions, it is difficult for him to enter into meditation every night. His Qi and blood are too strong and his whole body feels like shaking every time his heart beats. This confuses Dolai a little.
Because in Naluye's biography, he never seemed to have such concerns and seemed to have been smooth sailing all the way.
Dolai didn't care about so many things. He tried his best to use his mental power to suppress the rhythm of Qi and blood in his body. It worked at the beginning, but later as the Qi and blood became more and more vigorous, this method didn't work. Dolai had to stop taking the strength potion and agility potion.
According to Bal, it would be more appropriate for him to take the path of a wizard and put his fighting spirit aside for the time being.
Soon, half a month passed.
The mountain city in July was still not hot. The evening breeze was still a little chilly. There were few people on the street at night, only one or two pedestrians hurriedly passing by. Dolai put on his clothes, a black robe, and walked slowly towards the slums.
Soon, he arrived at the slums. Without much searching, he came to the door of a small house and knocked gently five times.
The small door creaked open, which was obviously quite harsh in the quiet night.
Dolai felt a little heavy in his heart and walked into the small door.
There was nothing in the house, and the ground was full of garbage. A black figure was standing at the door. It was covered in black clothes and had a cloak and a black hat on its head. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Here it comes." A clear female voice sounded.
Dole nodded, lifted his hood, revealing Hodor's face, and said, "I'm ready. When are we going to investigate? Or should we investigate separately?"
Lily glanced at Dolai through a layer of gauze. She gently took off the cloak on her head, revealing an ordinary face, the same one she had seen in the Killer's Guild last time.
Dolai smelled a scent at this moment, which was the smell of the disguise potion.
Lily looked at Dorae and said affirmatively, "Are you a wizard apprentice?"
Dolai chuckled, "You smelled it too?"
Lily sighed and said, "Yes, I am also a wizard apprentice. We may cooperate for a long time in the future. Let me tell you about myself first. There was a wizard in my ancestor. I became a wizard when I was looking through my ancestor's relics. It's just that it's too difficult for wizards to advance, so I took the risk. What about you?"
She looked at Dole with sparkling eyes.
Dolai's expression remained unchanged. He had long suspected that the woman was a wizard's apprentice, because no matter whether she was a hunter, an assassin, or a warrior, it was impossible for her blood to be so weak. He had felt it that day in the killer's guild.
He thought for a moment and said, "I did pick up a book that had instructions on how to become a wizard, but it only taught me how to become an advanced wizard. It didn't tell me how to become a first-level wizard, so I have to find a way to become one myself in the future."
The two of them were "frank and honest" and revealed a few things about themselves, which laid the foundation for mutual trust.
Lily didn't say anything. She had a way to become a first-level wizard, but it was too expensive and she simply couldn't afford it. And up to now, she had no other source of funds except the Killer Guild.
But since everyone is a wizard, and they are all afraid of the light, Lily relaxed. Wizards can only trust wizards, and no one else. "Since we are all wizards, can I ask you how you were promoted?"
