Purgatory Artist-Chapter 240: Joining

"In the past ten years, Viscount Edon has had 39 assassination attempts, but none of them succeeded."

"According to incomplete statistics, there are eight card masters in the Viscount's residence. They are always protecting Viscount Edon."

Liu Ping put down this piece of information and picked up another one.

On it was written:

|The latest information from the Viscount's residence:|

|Yesterday, the Viscount killed 20 people because he lost the bet. He sent three card masters to kill the Baron of Mi 'er Village.|

|According to the analysis of the intelligence, the Viscount is suspected to have tampered with the bet, causing the majority of the High Nobles to be unhappy.|

|The news from the capital indicates that the Viscount will be facing a huge predicament this time.|

Liu Ping put down the information and fell into deep thought.

A Viscount could decide the life and death of a Baron at will.

Then ...

If Viscount Edon really angered the other High Nobles ...

As long as there was someone with a higher status than him, such as a Marquis or an Earl, then Viscount Edon would be in danger.

... It seemed that he was not in a hurry to kill him.

If Viscount Edon was killed by the High Nobles ...

Wouldn't everyone be happy?

"Your Excellency, the things you want are ready."

A voice suddenly came from the door of the secret room.

"Please come in," Liu Ping said.

The door opened.

A Bandit walked in respectfully and placed a few cards in front of Liu Ping.

Liu Ping looked at them one by one and saw a decent set of Bandit leather armor, as well as daggers, short swords, bows and arrows, poison, small grenades, night boots, cloak, enchanted mask, and potions.

The Bandit looked at him and said, "They are all Great Bandit-level items, the best in the guild."

"Not bad." Liu Ping said.

These items were not very good and there was nothing special about them, but they were sharp, light, and deadly. It was enough for him to play the role of a Bandit.

"Sir, there's one more thing."

"What?"

"The City Lord's residence sent people to search the entire Frenn City like mad dogs today. They are already here."

"Do I need to do anything?" Liu Ping asked.

The Bandit smiled bitterly and said, "Many of the things we do in the Assassins Guild are not presentable. Many of our brothers have offended the City Lord's residence. If you have offended the City Lord, please come with me to the secret passage to hide temporarily."

"Let's go then." Liu Ping said.

He stood up and followed the bandit out of the door, all the way into the depths of the Assassins Guild.

After passing through a long corridor and a few hidden passageways, Liu Ping entered deep underground and came to a large, dry and cool room.

There were already some people here.

As far as the eye could see, lines of small text quickly appeared above their heads.

[Great bandit.]

[Assassin.]

[Great Thief.]

[Shadow Assassin.]

[Expert thief.]

[Hunter.]

[...]

They were all experts.

Liu Ping retracted his gaze, found a chair, and sat down. He began to fiddle with the poisons that he had just obtained.

Poison was a very interesting thing.

It could help people defeat enemies that they had no way of defeating.

Liu Ping had a wealth of experience with poisons. This was the first time he had come into contact with poisons outside of the cultivation world, so he quickly immersed himself in his research.

"Blue poison ... According to the label, it's used to make people fall into a deep sleep. Unfortunately, there's no description of the ingredients. There's no expiration date? "

Liu Ping complained as he watched.

All of a sudden, the discussions around them stopped.

An old man appeared in this secret room and looked at the many Thieves and Assassins.

He was the person who had made a deal with Liu Ping before.

After being promoted to Great bandit, Liu Ping found out that he was the branch president of the Assassins Guild in Fu Lun City.

"Everyone."

"You're all dwellers in the dark. Now, there's a temporary job. Let's see who's willing to take it."

"What job?" Someone asked.

"Frenn City has become less peaceful. Some people are in a hurry to leave this place and need some guards. Of course, they've also recruited many people from other guilds. Now, they want to recruit ten experts from our Guild. The requirements are above Great bandit level." The old man said.

"It's the heads of those Chambers of Commerce, right?" A titled Assassin said.

"That's right. The heads of several major Chambers of Commerce jointly issued this task. We'll leave in an hour, so if you're interested, please step forward quickly so that I can gather the manpower." The old man said.

"Haha, what a bunch of cowards. Even if something happens to Viscount Edon, Frenn City won't be affected. If he dies, won't there be more benefits here?" Another Great bandit said.

Everyone looked indifferent. For a moment, no one stepped forward.

Liu Ping retracted his gaze and was about to continue studying the poison in his hand when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

No ...

In terms of secret information, the Assassins Guild naturally knew more than those merchants.

However, merchants were more knowledgeable than bandits. They could usually come into contact with people of higher status and were naturally sensitive to many things.

They must have discovered something for them to be in a hurry to leave.

What kind of situation could make these guys with keen senses leave Frenn City in a hurry?

Liu Ping asked in a muffled voice, "President, who will lead the Guild this time?"

The old man glanced at Liu Ping and said, "I'll make a trip myself."

The president was leaving.

Liu Ping stood up and walked to his side.

"Count me in."

The old man looked at him and hesitated for a moment.

Liu Ping's heart tightened.

Hesitation?

If it was a normal escort mission, even if the president wasn't sure of his strength, at least the two sides had just made a deal. He would take advantage of the situation and let him join.

However, this branch president of the Assassins Guild was hesitating.

Obviously, he didn't want to give face, but was considering the mission.

Considering the mission.

Then, what he wanted was good men.

Why did he want good men?

Liu Ping was silent.

Naturally, it was because the president agreed with the merchants' judgment, so he wanted to arrange good men.

It seemed that he had to leave this time. He absolutely couldn't stay.

Of course, it was safer to leave alone than to follow a large group of merchants with powerful guards.

At this moment, the bandits and assassins looked at Liu Ping.

Someone jeered, "How did such a teenager become a great bandit?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the branch president's face.

Liu Ping smiled at that person and said, "Because I've killed a lot of arrogant guys like you."

That person's face darkened and he shouted, "You're courting death!"

The grey fog suddenly erupted from where he stood, and he disappeared into the fog.

Liu Ping slowly pulled out his dagger and shook his head. "You jumped too high."

He raised his dagger and stabbed diagonally ahead.

The next moment.

That bandit suddenly appeared in mid-air, and Liu Ping's dagger was already at his neck.

This scene seemed to be a perfect cooperation between the two. That bandit sent himself to Liu Ping's dagger and was prepared to die.

Liu Ping's dagger didn't stop and directly slashed at the bandit's neck.

Everyone's face changed.

One move.

Just one move and these two colleagues were going to die!

Clang!

Liu Ping's dagger was blocked.

At the same time, that person was also kicked away.

"President?"

Liu Ping looked at the old man who blocked his dagger and smiled. "He provoked me first."

The old man stared at him and said, "I remember you said that you don't like to kill people."

"Sorry, I overestimated him. Actually, I was already prepared to stop." Liu Ping spread his hands.

Everyone looked at his other hand and saw that he was holding a dagger with a layer of green poison on it.

So this was the real killing move!

What a dangerous guy.

Everyone was silent.

The old man coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, this is our colleague who just became a great bandit today. Don't underestimate him."

He patted Liu Ping's shoulder and signaled Liu Ping to stand behind him.

"Okay, this mission requires ten people. Other than him and me, who else is willing to take this trip?" The old man asked.

Liu Ping took a few steps back and kept his dagger.

Okay.

After the battle just now, the president had already approved of his participation.

However ...

What were those merchants afraid of?

Liu Ping leaned against the wall, thinking as he waited in boredom.
