Chapter 137 The Night King! (1/2)
”Girl, do you want to become my student?”
[The Night King, the current King of Assassins - Dawn has offered you to become his student!]
[Will you accept or decline?]
”Huh?” Amanda immediately jumped backwards when she noticed that someone had suddenly appeared before her, and that the Level 30 High Orc [Elite] is even cowering in fear while releasing some strange sounds.
Slash!
”Annoying pig” Dawn or Marcus snorted, annoyed at the squealing Orc behind him as a shadow suddenly darted out from his shadows and killed the High Orc[Elite] in one blow and started devouring its corpse.
It was a monster with a lion's body, a pair of bat like wings and a scorpion like tail!
A Manticore!
Amanda quickly knocked an arrow and pointed it towards the cloaked figure in front of her, as a swirling frost started spinning before the tip of her arrow.
'Is this person scheming something? Why would a powerful NPC suddenly appear out of nowhere and asked me to become his student? I'm not even an Assassin!' Amanda thought, as she never dared to lower her guard and she already steeled herself to fight to the death, no matter how powerful the person in front of her is.
Her wariness towards the person in front of her wasn't unfounded. It was because she had managed to acquire an ancient or just an old book from inside a dungeon before, where it had a list of the most powerful people on the continent, and where their feats are listed below their names, including even the actions or events that made them infamous.
The cloaked figure in front of her is infamous for kidnapping women,men and children! There was even a log on the book describing that any women that got taken by him were turned into her sex slaves!
While the men that got taken away were turned into working slaves or sold into slavery!
The commoners had even given him the moniker, The Shadow Stalker!
Of course, they didn't know that it was actually the most powerful and notorious assassin that was behind those events before, and they just thought that it was some sly criminal that had never been apprehend until now!
But those were just some things that happened from a long time ago and were just unfounded rumors among the nobility! In fact, they even didn't know that those people that disappeared before were actually his wives, daughters, sons and grandchildren!
He isn't some deranged individual that would just kidnap someone innocent or else...he'd invite the wrath of the other Sages, and he only did those because he wanted them together in one place which resulted in a large family of twenty people.
And the result of that event had created a notorious and powerful family full of assassins..The Wainwright Family!
And other than the Sages, the people who truly knows the reason behind it are the Hermits and the rulers of the empires and kingdoms in the continent.
While the book that Amanda had gotten had clearly came from either a commoner or a noble that doesn't know the full extent of the story, and that's the reason why she has the impression that the person behind her would kidnap her and turn her into her own personal ”sex slave”.
”Hahaha, how hostile you are towards me young lady. Don't worry, I didn't come here with bad intentions, and as I told you earlier, I am here to ask you if you are interested to become my student?” Marcus laughed while he took off his hood and revealed his appearance before Amanda.
[The Night King, the current King of Assassins - Dawn has once again offered you to become his student!]
[Will you accept or decline?]
”Yeah...says someone who had kidnapped a lot of people before” Amanda snorted, and once again declined the offer.
”Hahaha, so it was because of something that happened a long time ago!” Marcus laughed heartily, like he had just heard the biggest joke ever.
”It was a long time ago, but that doesn't exempt you from the crime that you have committed! For god's sake, you're even a Sage!” Amanda shouted fearlessly, but she's clearly nervous just by the fact that her face and hands are already having cold sweat.
'Kekeke, this lass is really brave that's she's not even afraid of shouting at me even though she's clearly nervous and scared right now. She must really have a high mental fortitude that she's not even succumbing to my presence. She's very similar to Shadow, maybe even better! Hahaha!' Marcus thought inside, as the inner him is very pleased with the good seedling in front of him.
”Relax little lass, those people are my wives and descendants. Isn't it very normal for me to take them away?” Marcus laughed while shaking his head helplessly, and raised both of his hands up in the air.
”Oh really? It seems I misunderstood you then” Amanda laughed embarrassed, but then her eyes turned sharp as her face became really dark, ”Did you think I'm an idiot old man!?”
