Chapter 12

Ren sat in the cafe for half an afternoon. In the evening, students from the fencing gym came out in groups of three and four. Not long after, the staff of the fencing gym also got off work.

Several carriages gathered from all over the place and stopped at the gate of the swordsmanship hall.

As one of the best swordsmanship halls in Longshande City, the teachers of Maloney Sword are all supernatural beings with extremely high salaries, so they can afford a horse-drawn carriage to take them to and from get off work on time every day.

Ren's eyes fell on several coachmen, and he quickly found the carriage Esberg was riding in, which he had seen several times before.

But this coachman was not the one who drove the car in the last crime. He came from a carriage rental company and had only an employment relationship with Eisberg.

The carriages left after receiving people, and soon, a familiar figure appeared in the field of vision.

This is a thin and tall man, about thirty-five years old, with ordinary appearance, but extremely energetic eyes, with a warm smile on his face, which makes people feel very kind. He walked and talked with a female teacher in the fencing gym next to him, talking and laughing, and behaved decently.

"Asperger."

Ren looked at the man hundreds of meters away, and groaned in his heart.

If it weren't for personal experience, who would have thought that Asperger, who has always been known for his good popularity in the swordsmanship gym, is a bloody executioner in private.

Behind Eisberg were two young men, both in their twenties.

One of them was Ryan's classmate Ramsey, but the other didn't know him. It should be the new assistant recruited by the swordsmanship gym for Asperger.

After Eisberg sent the female teacher to the car in a very gentlemanly manner, he turned around and told the two assistants to let them get off work, and then got into the carriage himself.

The carriage was just approaching the café.

Ren wanted to get up and avoid it in advance, but saw that in another direction, Ramsay had left the swordsmanship hall, and now it was more difficult to track him, so he decided to sit still and wait for the carriage to approach.

Of these two people, Esperger must be the main one, and Esperger is the one who is the most threatening. If you want to find their secret stronghold outside the city, you must naturally start your investigation from Esperger.

As for Ramsay, he's just an ordinary guy, and it's too easy to deal with him.

A few hundred meters away, Ryan had already adjusted the direction of the seat, with his back facing the direction of the carriage, and the newspaper in his hand was raised a bit, blocking most of his face.

Tapa Tower...

When the carriage passed quickly on the street in front of the cafe, Ryan looked over the edge of the newspaper and looked directly at the glass window of the carriage, just in time to see half of Asperger's body and profile.

With just one glance, the soul is seen through.

The whole process lasted less than two seconds. Asperger sat on the carriage with his eyes closed, not noticing that someone on the side of the road was watching him.

Ren slowly put down the newspaper and watched the carriage go away.

"It turned out to be a second-level shadow warrior."

Before this, Lane could not determine Asperger's extraordinary career.

Although he saw Asperger kill with his own eyes, the only feeling he had at the time was to be fast!

Not only is Esberg's footsteps fast, but the sword in his hand is even faster. This is pure speed suppression, and ordinary people are killed before they have time to react.

There are several extraordinary professions that can possess this kind of speed, the most common ones are "Ranger" and "Kage Warrior", both of which are good at speed.

However, the combat styles of rangers and shadow warriors are completely different, and if they make mistakes, they will pay a heavy price.

The first core element of the ranger is the "dexterous hand". The hands have a super strong sense of touch and are extremely flexible. They can control their own power in a subtle way, move quickly in a small range, and jump dexterously. All kinds of weapons can be used quickly as long as they are used. master.

Every ranger is a versatile weapon master, proficient in swordsmanship, shooting, dual wielding weapons, climbing, throwing hidden weapons, rope skills, etc., and the attack methods are often unexpected.

In contrast, Shadow Warrior is more monotonous.

But monotony does not mean weak. The core element of a shadow warrior is "shadow escape", who is good at lurking in the shadows, hiding his body, light and fast on his feet, and often gives the enemy a fatal blow when he least expects it.

Ren discovered the shadow escape element in Asperger's soul and determined that he was a shadow fighter.

Furthermore, Asperger's soul structure has two layers.

After observing those extraordinary people in the hotel these days, Ren knew that every time a demon soul is fused, the internal structure of the soul will have an additional level, and the professional level will increase by one level.

Two layers of soul structure, which shows that Eisberg is a second-level shadow warrior, fused with a main soul and a secondary soul.

The main souls of the shadow fighters are all the same, the demon soul from the "Stalker Demon Spider" obtains the element of shadow escape.

Asperger doesn't have the ability of the second element. It may be that when he reached the second level, he still chose to use the Hidden Shadow Demon Spider as the secondary soul to continue to strengthen the Shadow Escape element; it is also possible that he fused other demon souls, but with The main soul conflicts, resulting in the loss of elements.

This is not uncommon, and even normal.

The conflict between demon souls is the most troublesome problem for supernatural beings, not one of them.

Most demonic souls are incompatible with each other, and conflicts will arise, which greatly increases the difficulty of fusion. At least, the elements are lost, and new abilities are not obtained, but the strength of one's own soul is simply improved.

What's worse, not only did the soul not improve, but even the original elements were affected, and the strength did not advance but retreated.

Therefore, in order to avoid or reduce conflicts, many extraordinary people make the most conservative choice, integrating the same demonic soul to enhance the existing elements.

Because the investigation time was too short, Ren didn't know if Eisberg's shadow escape element had been enhanced, but it was enough to know that he was a shadow warrior.

When the carriage drove far away, Ren stood up and quickened his pace to follow.

It was off-duty time, and there were a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the street. The speed of the carriage, which was not very fast, was repeatedly reduced, which made it easy for Ren to follow.

Following the carriage a few hundred meters away, Ren was not afraid of being noticed by Asperger.

The carriage headed west, stopping and going for more than half an hour.

When it was getting dark and the gas lights on the side of the road were turned on, the carriage finally arrived at its destination, entered a large house on the west side of Honiton, and soon came out again.

Apparently, Asperger was no longer in the car, and this was where he lived.

Ren didn't approach rashly, but observed the surrounding environment.

Next to Eisberg's house is the Feregren River, which divides the entire city of Longsand into two parts from south to north.

On the east bank of the river is the main urban area, including the three districts of Honiton, Lowes, and Rinferral, occupying two-thirds of the city's area, and more than 90% of the population lives here.

The remaining 10% of the population live on the west bank of the Felegren River, which is the Silver Star District.

Both the Extraordinary Academy and the Duke's Wizard Tower are located in the Silver Star District, so this naturally became the place where the upper class of Longshande City lived, which is also known as the Noble District.

Asperger's house is in a good position, just across the river from the noble district, the most expensive part of Honiton.

Looking up from here, you can see a towering building on the western horizon, with a strong light shooting from the top, like eyes scanning around.

This is the Wizard Tower of the Duke of Silverstar.

Within the range scanned by that ray of light, if there is any movement, it will be noticed by the wizard tower immediately.

In other words, Asperger's house is also under the protection of the Wizard Tower, and it would be the most unwise choice to do it at his house.

Ren glanced at the wizard tower from a distance, shook his head and could only leave.

The next afternoon, Ryan followed Ramsey after get off work in the fencing gym and found the address of the other party.

Ramsey lives in a high-end apartment not far from the fencing gymnasium. There are so many people around that he can't find a chance to do it. And it's useless to kill Ramsay, it will only alarm Asperger.

Ren was not impatient, and stayed at the swordsmanship hall for several days, waiting patiently for an opportunity.

Because he knew that these two people would definitely not be able to bear it, and they would attack again.

The wait lasted eight days. It was almost half a month before Rennes traveled to Ellen Erth, and when the landlord was about to find out that the tenant was missing, finally, Rennes had his chance.

Asperger got off work as usual, but the one who came to pick him up today was not the usual carriage.

Ren recognized it at a glance. This carriage was the one that picked him up at the back door of the Perfume Street bar that night. He immediately lifted his spirits and thought, is it going to be a fight at night?

But, somewhat unexpectedly, Ramsay also got into the car.

The carriage headed south all the way, as if it was going out of the city.

Ren immediately followed, and sure enough, the carriage left Longshande soon after, and speeded up on the avenue.

"This should be going to their secret stronghold." Ren was surprised and delighted, he was waiting for this opportunity.

But the speed of the carriage was too fast, and he couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, the last time he absorbed the soul of the fallen man, the battery level skyrocketed by eight bars. In addition, after his physical injury completely recovered, the battery level increased by two bars, making the battery level reach 18%, which was higher than that of ordinary people in terms of physical fitness and strength. One length, barely able to follow the carriage from a distance, so as not to lose it completely.

With the night vision capability turned on, Ren ran in the dark, and the power consumption was also accelerating.

Not long after, the carriage turned from the main road into a small road, drove for a few more minutes, and finally stopped in a secluded manor.

Ren hid behind a tree and gasped for breath. After calming his breath, he began to secretly observe the manor.

The manor is built next to a large pasture. It covers a small area. It is surrounded by brick walls and surrounded by woods. The nearest manor is also one kilometer away, so it is very quiet.

Also, this place is not far from the river.

Follow the path to the avenue and you will see the Felegren River.

When Ren ran over just now, he found out that he passed by here when he returned to Longshande that day. If he walked a little further south, it was the place where he climbed up from the river.

He was sure that this manor was the secret stronghold of Asperger and Ramsay.

But what are the two hiding inside?
