That evening, Soran left the place where theCurrently, he lacked the ability to guide Vivian on the path to beco a successful sorcerer Unless he decided to choose wizard as his side profession, Vivian would have to learn new spells on her own It would be a rough journey for her, and she e to herself byelite sorcerers had to experience due to their talents

After taking this into consideration, he decided to let Vivian stay with Gloria for now, but he definitely would not allow her to take her away forever Now that they were stuck and had nothing to do, Soran decided to take the chance to go on a short adventure He had to becoht was further reinforced by the scene of Vivian clinging onto his clothes while crying after the lengthy conversation with Gloria earlier

Time did not wait If he used the sah to protect hian Now that there was an opportunity, Soran decided to seize it Although the ancient red dragon's existence had yet to be confirmed by the people, the chain of events caused by its appearance was already occurring In the past, he would have had to venture into the wilderness in order to findnear the Dark Swaon aura; this o deep into the wilderness to find them There were pretty much monsters everywhere if he travelled just a few days away from the city

If he was lucky and did not encounter sohter EXP a day At that rate, he could raise his profession to Grade 3 in a week It would take at least a week or two before the roads would clear up anyway, so the ties, potions, antidotes, insect repellents… Soran zigzagged through the co spree for supplies He did not stop until his s were gone

It was now late at night

After hearing what had happened back at the tavern from Vivian, Soran could not let the in a dark alley close to the tavern Due to the deteriorating public security recently, guards were patrolling the streets ht curfeell, but that had not been approved as of yet

Most of the customers had requested refunds and switched taverns after someone died there in thecustomers, thus it was rather quiet

There was a candle lamp on the bar counter, and in front of it sat Calvin and Moroder, who had cra retarded? The guy you sent was such shi+t, he couldn’t even handle an eight-year-old girl! What the hell?”

Moroder growled in response

”How is that possible! Lascaux is by no one wrong Soirl and even killed Lascaux”

At the back of his hts; namely, that Lascaux had actually failed Not only did he fail to kidnap the girl, he was also killed by her

But that sounded extreirl kill aand had an advanced profession?

The floor trehtly, and noises could be heard in the distance Moroder looked up and signalled his hitman to be alert As a human trafficker in the slus

An underling ca in and shouted, ”Boss! The warehouse's on fire!”

It was unknohen the fire in the warehouse started, but it was now spreading across the building, al at the bar counter, sounded exasperated as he yelled, ”Dumbass! Go put it out!”

The dozen or so workers in the tavern began busily pouring water fro fire Moroder, on the other hand, calmly sat there He looked around, then sneakily left the tavern through the side door at a speed disproportionate to his body size His intuition was telling hi to assassinate hi ht be lighting the place on fire as revenge

After exiting the tavern through the side door, Moroder placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked around He was about to dart into the main street when a crossbow bolt shot out from the darkness and struck him He cried in pain as his body shuddered, but the cry was overshadowed by so else

Boom!

Explosions could be heard The liquor in the warehouse caught fire, causing explosions one after another The ear-deafening sound roared through the area, and the ground shook The guards nearby were instantly alerted

The second bolt ca froed to barely dodge this ti his cheek Much to his surprise, the enes Moroder realised the assassin was using an enhanced crossbow at this point and rolled toward the building while drawing his weapon Crossbows had rather low firing rates; this assassin, however, could fire two shots in quick succession,he was a proficient crossbow user

Moroder was not wearing any protective equipment; his thick layer of fat could not deflect crossbow bolts either He gasped for air, but the nu fro so His body was stiffening, and he could do nothing but drop to the ground

It was poisonous Wyvern poison?!

Moroder, who often dealt with others from the Grey Realm, quickly realised what he was hit with and was overwhelmed by despair

A shadow leapt down fro cold line in the air with a curved sword Moroder's neck was severed in an instant, his head detaching fro a mask, stood in front of the corpse and looked at it coldly Using the walls as his footholds, he leapt back to the second floor of the building he was hiding in The Whiterun guards would be here in less than tenhe only had at most five more minutes to kill his enean to spread raht even ic
