Chapter Fifty-two Appointment

  My heart suddenly contracted, but soon a smile appeared on my face. This voice was very familiar, it was Evan. I led the horse to continue walking towards the outskirts of the city, without looking back, I knew he would definitely follow me over.

  "You really are everywhere, I'm having a hard time imagining how you found me?" I stroked the horse's ear, and it let out a loud snort.

  "Assassins have their ways of finding people, and as soon as you entered this city, I knew it was only a matter of time. Ayrick, to be honest, I think you have great potential as an assassin. Taking out the lord of Vinn City, haha, that's no small feat, and you pulled it off beautifully." Evin said, tempting me at the right moment.

  "Are you praising me or scolding me?" I asked with a smile, as Evan walked alongside me shoulder to shoulder.

  "Of course I'm praising you, I don't easily praise people." Ivan said with some complacency.

  "Oh dear, should I be grateful now? From young to old, no one has ever praised me before. However, I think being a magician is more promising for me, an assassin would be unbearable with the feeling of hiding in shadows all day." I blabbered nonsense to him.

  Aiyin looked at me and burst out laughing.

  After leaving the city gate, I walked for about half a day and stopped. I turned to Evan and said, "I know you're not looking for me just to reminisce. What's going on? I owe you one, what do you need my help with?"

  Ivan rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "Are you always so direct? It's really embarrassing, can't you be a bit more tactful?"

  I laughed, I like this feeling: "Alright, say it, I know you're not shy at all, let me guess what you want me to help with? Is it that you want me to help you complete the task?"

  Aidan shook his head, and I continued to guess: "Murder? Picking up girls? Robbery? What is it, come on, say it quickly. You didn't find me for anything good, hurry up, don't be like a woman, twisting and turning, you're making me sweat."

  Evan hesitated for a long time before saying: "I want you to help me steal something..."

  I rolled my eyes at him and said, "I knew it, I knew it, nothing good ever happens. And now you want me to help you steal something? Sigh, who made me owe you anyway? Tell me, what do you want to steal and what's going on?"

  Evan explained: "It's like this, you see, the dagger in my hand is very ordinary. An assassin needs a good dagger, so I spent a lot of time searching everywhere for a good dagger."

  I nodded and continued to lead the horse forward: "Oh, I see. So you found a good dagger but didn't want to spend money on it, so you thought of stealing one instead?"

  Aidan nodded and shook his head: "The dagger, indeed I found a good dagger, but this dagger can't be bought with money. If it could be bought with money, why would we need to go through so much trouble? This time, it really has to be stolen."

  "I said: 'What kind of dagger is this? Who has it now?'"

  Evan kicked a small stone on the road with his foot, and after a long time, he said: "This dagger was originally used by a top assassin of the Elf tribe before his death. The name is called 'Moonlight Blade'. This dagger has two extremely exciting places. One is that this dagger is invisible at night. The second advantage is that under the moonlight, this dagger can absorb the energy of the moonlight. When the energy is full, it can emit a three-foot-long sword energy to hurt people in the air."

  When Ivan described it, I saw his saliva flowing out. If this dagger is really like what he described, then it's simply a divine artifact! Such a magical dagger would be extremely terrifying in anyone's hands.

  I furrowed my brow and said, "Something like this is comparable to a divine artifact. It's probably not that easy to obtain. Where is it now?"

  Aiyin looked at me again and said in a low voice: "On the altar of the Moon God Temple..."

  I widened my eyes in incredulity, staring at him as I said: "Moon Goddess Temple? Are you kidding me? That's the forbidden land of the Elf tribe! You're too bold, sneaking into Moon Goddess Temple to steal things? Your life is too long!"

  I shook my head resolutely and said, "No way, no way. I still have many grand ideals that haven't been realized yet. I want to live a bit longer. Even if you've helped me before, I won't go to that place. Being targeted by the Spirit Tribe's divine archers is already bad enough - it's not like I can even run away from them. And they also have many powerful Moon God rituals; I don't dare go to a place like that."

  Evan saw that I had refused him and became somewhat anxious, hastily explaining: "I'm not asking you to follow me to the Moon God Temple, you just need to meet me outside the city. When I'm being pursued, release a few illusion magic spells and set up some traps on my retreat route to help me stall for time. That's all, don't worry about anything else."

  After hearing Ivan's words, I thought for a moment and said: "So... this is also a very dangerous thing. If we get caught, the consequences will be severe... This has a hundred disadvantages and no advantages for me..."

  I shook my head and said: "Forget it, it's still too dangerous, why look for trouble? I'll owe you one next time instead..."

  Upon hearing my words, Evan hastily said: "There's a benefit, there's a benefit! Along with the Moon God Temple and this dagger, there's also a ring. This ring is called the Moonlight Ring, it was an artifact left behind by a great priest of the Elf tribe in the past. It's said that this ring can also be charged under moonlight, after absorbing the energy of the moonlight, a magician can activate this ring and release three Moonlight Shields. The Moonlight Shield can immunize against all attacks! If you obtain it, it's equivalent to having three lives! Think about it, think about it?"

  Hearing his words, I finally had some misgivings. I looked at Evan and said: "How can I believe that you will help me steal out the ring together?"

  "I'll come out and give you the ring first thing," Evan said hastily. "If you don't get the ring, can you help me without moving your hands?"

  When I heard him say that, I carefully considered it. The transaction seems fair enough, although the risk is also great, but such a ring is absolutely worth taking risks, besides, I owe Evan a favor, he has something to do and can't go to help, it's not good to say no, okay, let's just say I'm returning him a favor.

  Having made up my mind, I raised my head and said to Evan: "Alright, then I'll help you once, but first you have to come up with a detailed executable plan, and make sure your intelligence source is detailed and accurate. Otherwise, forget it."

  Evan saw that I had finally agreed, a smile appeared on his face, he nodded and stretched out his hand saying: "It's settled then."

  I looked at him and smiled, stretched out my hand and shook hands with him, saying: "It's a deal!"

  At this moment, I feel that neither Evan nor I are good people...
