Chapter 117. Breath Obstruction IV

In Pelican Town, Home of Pelican.

A door divided the world into two. Outside the door was the search team of the security department, and inside were the messengers and postmen running back and forth.

After a brief moment of silence, a shadow entered the room.

He was barefooted and only had a piece of clothing. His head was still wrapped in a wig that hadn't been pulled out completely. He was covered in dust and looked rather disheveled.

However, it had to be said that he had chosen a good opportunity to break in. The staff from the previous shift had just left in two groups. Only a few security guards were in the hall, and the attire quickly alerted them.

Pelican Town was located in the middle of Greenland, and the highest level of the guards was 60. Although there were few security guards in the House of Pelican, almost all were level 50 and above. They looked at him with hostility.

"Password: basil, buckwheat, barbarian's foot skin."

The man spoke quickly, and the security guard could not help but slow down.

"The military?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," He said coldly.

The security guard didn't dare to say anything. He looked at the man in fear and immediately sent one of them to report.

The remaining two looked at each other and were about to speak, but the other party spoke first.

"Get one of you to send me to the storage area and the other to wipe off the footprints on the ground. If the people from the security department come and ask, you know what to say."

"Understood."

The two nodded. For a moment, they did not feel wrong with being ordered by him.

...

A minute later, the people from the Public Security Department came to patrol the area but left after their inspection was fruitless. At this moment, Examiner Keane of inspection room No. 7 rushed to the storage area.

"You may leave."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Keane sat down next to him.

"You succeeded again?" He asked.

Char chuckled and threw out a blood-stained sun crown badge.

It was the mark of the Sunstrider family, a vassal family of the Sun Royal Court. Most of its members wore this badge.

Not only did he take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he also took away the badge on the corpse.

Ever since he arrived in Greenland half a month ago, he had sneaked into the Rose Cross Society and frequently took on missions from their internal bounty list. The targets were all the nobles of the Sunstrider family.

The assassination was a technical job. High risk, high reward. Two missions to level up were like a rocket, but that was also the difficulty. From the arrangement to the assassination to the escape was a complicated process. It was far from as simple as stabbing a hidden blade into a straw, then throwing a smoke bomb. It might even lead to a trap set up by the security department.

The most important thing was that he needed a place to accept missions.

Things like "Home of Assassins," "League of Assassins," and "Jieqing Gate " did not exist. No stable regime would allow the existence of such organizations. If one could buy life with money, there was no stability to talk about. Even the police and bandits' families in Mexico didn't have this.

Only the Rose Cross Society might have had the power to do so. They were both secretive and efficient.

Keane picked up the badge and examined it. After confirming it was real, he couldn't help but jokingly say, "If this goes on, you're going to use up all my funds."

"Don't be so wishy-washy. Give me the money!"

Char extended his hand without hesitation.

Keane handed him a bag, and Char opened it to see that it contained a few ancient gold coins from the Sunfire Royal Court.

[You've completed the quest 'Fifth Assassination.' You've received 38,660 experience and 75 gold.]

[Your reputation in the Rose Cross Society has increased. Current: friendly.]

[Your reputation in the House of Pelicans has increased. Current: Friendly.]

"You can rest here. I'll let you know when the commotion outside has died down."

"Come on. I'm just here to get my reward. I'll leave after an hour of rest, so you guys won't be dragged down."

Char found a comfortable pile of hay and lay on it, waving his hand at Keane.

"Just say that the storage area is disinfected and no one is allowed to enter within an hour. Also, tell the Pelican on your roof to turn 90 degrees to the east and tell my men that you're safe."

"Alright, I'll do it now."

Keane left, scratching his head. The more he thought about it, the more incredulous he felt.

More than 90% of the managers of the House of Pelican were members of the Rose Cross Society. Completing a bounty mission would be included in terms of performance. Char was helping him increase his performance, and he did not want any benefits or risks. It was like a pie falling from the sky.

The other party's professionalism made him think that the Rose Cross Society would change its image.

An hour later, Keane returned to the storage area again, but Char was no longer there.

Even the pile of hay he had been lying on was fluffy again. There was not a footprint left on the ground, as if the previous scene was just an illusion.

"This is too professional..."

Keane sighed, but he was also rather puzzled.

"Why did he have to make this trip?"

Just as he was puzzled, a postman ran over in a hurry.

"Manager, bad news! I lost a package!"

"What? What package?" Keane was shocked.

"A package from Astan City. The recipient is Char. It disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Oh, I see."

Keane immediately let out a sigh of relief. He was both angry and amused. "Don't worry about it. It has already arrived."

...

On the outskirts of Pelican Town, behind a hill, the MCV was parked.

Char returned to the car. The Dark Elf was scribbling on a blackboard filled with names.

These days, the assassination plan couldn't be done without the help of Evelyn. From the planning to how to escape, she had spent much effort.

Even though Char could do most of the work on his own, it was not right to ignore her.

Char's steps were light as he walked up and hugged her. He kissed the elf's slender neck, and Evelyn snorted in pleasure.

Then, he raised his pen and crossed out a name.

"Cross out Pelican Town. We're leaving soon," Char said.

"Huh? Why?" asked Evelyn in surprise.

"My parcel is here. I can leave now. Here, I have something good for you."

"Hey, have you found a way to hide the MCV?"

"That's not important! The important thing is to hide you."

Char dragged her away quickly.

The two went to the alchemy room, where Brian was working hard.

He was polishing an exquisite metal ring. It was glowing, but it made people ignore its existence from time to time. If one stared at it, one would feel awkward.

"The item is here, Brian."

Char opened the package and handed him a piece of leather.

-

[Fine Leather (small)]

Skin material, number 0743α

[Compact I: When used as main protection, it can provide an additional 7% armor value.]

[Breath Obstruction IV: Provides 14 points of detection magic resistance; increases stealth judgment.]

[Blur III: Overall resistance to detection spells increased by 12%, with a 12% chance of being immune to detection spells.]

[Origin: Astan City, Reeve's workstation No. 4, Rylai.]

[Recommended position: Belt]

-

Brian held the strip of leather in his hands and kept exclaiming how good it was. He then combined it with the metal ring to make a belt.

Char took it and passed it to Evelyn.

The Dark Elf sized him up, her eyes filled with happiness.

She whispered by Char's ear, "Do you want to untie it with your own hands?"

Char immediately shivered.

This damned woman!
