Purgatory Artist-Chapter 239: The Great Bandit

Liu Ping rode on a horse, crossing the mountains and barren lands, moving forward on the wide road.

"Stop"

At the intersection in front, two soldiers in simple leather armor waved their hands.

Liu Ping let the horse move forward, only nodding slightly at the soldiers as a greeting.

In the air beside him, a card tome suddenly appeared.

The soldier's expression changed, and said respectfully: "So it's an honorable sir."

They made way for him.

Liu Ping asked: "How far is Frenn City?"

"Follow the main road, don't enter the fork, about 50 miles away." the soldier said.

"Oh right, what are you doing here?" Liu Ping asked again.

"The Baron of Mi 'er Village is missing, the Viscount is suspected to have been murdered, all blade-wielding Professionals are on the wanted list. Of course, card users are not included." the soldier said.

"No matter how stupid he is, he won't come looking for trouble with us card users." Liu Ping said calmly.

The soldier lowered his head, not daring to answer.

It was said that the murderer was not a card user, but a blade-wielding Professionist.

But it was not good to reveal this to an unfamiliar card user.

Liu Ping's legs lightly squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse immediately sped up, galloping towards the main road ahead.

When they passed by a lake, he paused for a moment.

"The lake water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the floating clouds in the sky, so beautiful." Lilith praised.

"Yes, everything here belongs to Viscount Edon, whether it's the people or the scenery, but I guess his good days are coming to an end." Liu Ping said.

"He's really a bad guy, we're going to deal with him this time?" Lilith asked.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to be a stable Baron, and even more impossible to be promoted, so we're going to deal with this obstacle."

Saying so, Liu Ping took out a card tome.

This card tome had a faint flame floating on it, looking quite extraordinary.

A line of small burning words appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

[With the power of your knight's crown, your identity is no longer restricted, this is the blessing of the Eternal Night Divine Pillar's Heroic Spirit]

[You can have different Card Tomes at the same time]

On top of his head, the halo appeared again.

This time, the halo was no longer empty.

Two small glowing runes quietly appeared at the two ends of the halo.

One of the runes exuded an ominous and deathly aura, while the other was filled with a blazing aura.

They represent two Tomes.

The first card book was Death Puppets.

The second book was the card book that Liu Ping obtained from killing the card user.

The Book of Flames.

"Liu Ping, how can you use two card tomes? I've never heard of such a thing, "Lilith said curiously.

"Maybe it has something to do with the choice I made at the Level 10 node." Liu Ping said.

Yana's voice rang out. "Most people can only use one card tome in their entire life. Very few people can command different powers within the mystic laws. What did you talk about with the heroic spirit on the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night?"

"When I was at level 10, I went to the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night once. At that time, I had to choose my own direction. At that time, I felt that I shouldn't restrict myself," Liu Ping replied.

"There are too many people who feel that they shouldn't restrict themselves. The Divine Pillar of Eternal Night has never looked at them favorably." Yana said.

"Liu Ping is different from them." Zhao Chanyi's voice rang out. "When he was in our world, there was almost nothing that he didn't know."

"So that's how it is. The Divine Pillar of Eternal Night probably also recognized a certain characteristic of yours."

"Liu Ping." Yana smiled and softly said: "When I first saw you, I felt that you had nothing but beauty. Who would've thought..."

"He wasn't this handsome back then." Zhao Chanyi said.

"Ah, is that so?" Yana said.

"I once went out of my way to look for pictures of him when he was young. Do you want to see them?" Zhao Chanyi asked.

"Come to my place, we'll take a look together." Yana said with a silver of curiosity in her eyes.

"Alright." Zhao Chanyi giggled and replied.

Their voices slowly became softer.

Liu Ping was a bit speechless.

He decided to ignore the two of them and looked at the Book of Flames.

A line of burning text quickly appeared:

[Book of Flames]

[With this card tome, you will automatically obtain the Card User Profession: Arsonist]

[Card Exclusivity Requirement: Release flames]

[Description: Whenever you release flames, you can turn one card in the tome into an Arsonist exclusive card]

At this point, they had already walked past the lake. A city appeared in front of them.

Frenn city.

This was a majestic city that belonged to Viscount Edon.

Liu Ping stared at the city, then lightly drew a card and threw it out.

Bam!

A tattered flag appeared.

Right after that, a bandit came out from behind the flag, looked at him and said:

"Sir, how may I help you?"

"You're a bandit from Frenn city, right?" Liu Ping asked.

"I am, sir."

"Take me to our place."

"Is this the Quest?"

"While you're at it, tell me about the local customs of Frenn city."

Saying so, Liu Ping tossed him a silver coin.

The bandit caught the silver coin and happily said: "Sir, please come with me, I'll tell you about it slowly."

...

Frenn city.

Inside a castle-like building within the city.

Liu Ping ordered a glass of liquor and put his bandit ID card on the table.

A few moments later.

An old man sat in front of him and spoke: "Young bandit leader, you're too inexperienced. Someone once picked up the ID card of a dead bandit, did you do the same?"

'No, I killed them.'

Liu Ping smiled: "Sir, I'm here this time to complete the promotion of my identity."

"Alright, let's do a pair."

The old man took out a list and read: "First, steal property worth 50 gold coins."

Liu Ping tossed him a small bag.

The old man picked up the bag and weighed it, then said: "Are they all gems?"

"I'm not going to bluff my way through." Liu Ping said meaningfully.

The point of stealing property worth 50 gold coins was not to steal, but to be able to take out property worth 50 gold coins as tribute to the organization.

"Not bad."

The old man smiled and kept the bag of gems, then continued to read: "The second item, defeat three Professionals of the same level; the third item, get to know at least one honorable card user; the fourth item ..."

As he read, he looked at Liu Ping, then finally put down the list and said: "You look like you're only 14 or 15 years old. If our Assassin Guild had such a young bandit, we'd be ridiculed and criticized, and ..."

"And?" Liu Ping asked.

"How many days have you actually practiced fighting? Have you really defeated people of the same level? "The old man asked doubtfully.

"I have." Liu Ping nodded and said.

"What kind of weapons are you good at? I can see that you haven't even grown yet, how do you fight? "The old man asked.

"I'm good at daggers and bows, as well as some hidden weapons, like this."

Liu Ping tossed a gold coin.

The gold coin flew across the long table and landed on the old man's cup. It rolled around the rim of the cup and fell into the boiling hot drink.

"Please believe me, I've mastered all kinds of thief skills." Liu Ping said seriously.

The old man stared at the hot drink, then slowly said: "I think you might need some more training, after all, you're only 14 or 15 years old, too young. That's right, how old are you?"

"14 years old." Liu Ping said.

"Only 14 years old" As the old man was about to continue, he suddenly stopped.

Under the table, Liu Ping put an even heavier bag of gems on the ground, then lightly pushed it to the old man's feet.

"... It's been a long time since we've seen such a young genius." the old man said thoughtfully.

"You're right, I can't just say that I've completed these missions without any proof, I need someone to prove it for me." Liu Ping said.

The old man looked at him with admiration, then praised: "I've always thought that you've completed them very well, only the second one you made a mistake."

He picked up the bag of gems and put it in his pocket.

"What mistake?" Liu Ping asked.

"I remember there was a battle where you defeated two professionals of the same level, so you defeated a total of four opponents!" The old man said. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"I had no choice, you might remember that they insisted on fighting me together." Liu Ping sighed.

"Quite despicable." The old man sighed.

The old man sighed and asked further, "Then, do you want to be an Assassin or a Great Bandit?"

"What's the difference?" Liu Ping asked.

"Assassins kill people, bandits steal treasures, but there's no rule that says assassins can't steal treasures, bandits can also kill people, it just depends on which title you prefer." The old man said.

"If that's the case, I'll be a Great Bandit ." Liu Ping said.

The old man told him to "wait a moment", then stood up and left.

Not too long later, he placed a brand new card in front of Liu Ping.

The card depicted two crossed daggers, surrounded by a gloomy fog.

"Welcome to the guild."

The old man solemnly said.

Liu Ping also put on a serious expression and picked up the card.

Lines of small burning text appeared in front of his eyes:

[This card represents the current world's identity: Great Bandit ]

[With this identity, you can command two Bandit Leaders and 15 low-ranked Bandits to complete your mission]

[Your connection with the Assassin Alliance has become closer]

Then, you're now a Great Bandit , to be honest, there are a lot of things that you can order those low-ranked thieves to do, you don't have to do it yourself." the old man said.

"I want to take a look at the bounty missions of this level and read some information." Liu Ping said.

"Go to the main hall, everything you want is there." the old man smiled.

"Thank you, sir."
