Katie ran as fast as she could, her ears filled with the roaring wind. She looked back as she ran, only to discover that the man was still following her.
She was rather appalled by that.
The First Prince's words actually made a lot of sense. Multi-type professions needed to focus on two or even three different things, which would cause them to be distracted. Therefore, although their overall abilities were very strong, none of them were top-notch.
In terms of melee combat, they were not as good as Warriors, and in terms of remote combat, they were not as good as pure spellcasters or archers. In terms of speed, they were certainly not as fast as agility classes.
But why was it that the man behind her, who was wearing an obvious magician's robe, was able to follow her back so closely? It must be noted that she was an Assassin best known for her speed.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, sprinted through the streets and alleys at an exaggerated speed. They barely brushed past the ricochets, which really frightened many people. However, no one dared to curse them out loud. At most, they only criticized them in their hearts. After all, the two professionals were obviously fighting, and they might even be killed on the street. Who would dare to stand out at such a moment?
Katie had been running as fast as she could, but after running for ten minutes, she failed to get rid of the man behind her. Then, she made up her mind and rushed out of the city.
She felt that since she couldn't get rid of the man in the capital, she might as well try it outside the city. Although there were many pedestrians and alleys in the city, the environment was not complicated. However, it was different outside the city. As long as she entered the woods, she might be able to get rid of the man with the natural obstacles.
The other party's speed could keep up with her, but she did not believe that the other party's maneuverability could be compared to an assassin like her.
But as a matter of fact, Katie was mistaken … Liang Lidong was a Divine Noble. It was a representative class that developed in a balanced way. Although they weren't as good as professionals of the same level in every aspect, they would be able to crush professionals of a higher level in all aspects once they had the advantage of level.
At this moment, Liang Lidong's Coordination had surpassed ten points, and he had the specialty of Agile Movement. With the support of the ancillary spells such as Lightness, not only could he follow the woman in black, but it wouldn't be difficult for him to even surpass her.
Liang Lidong remembered the woman. She was one of the people who tried to assassinate Emma in Winterwind yesterday. If his guess was correct, this woman should be a subordinate of one of the two princes.
Although the relationship between the second prince and Emma seemed to be good, he knew very well that … Politicians were a group of actors, the kind with the best acting skills. They had been acting their entire lives. Even in death, it was difficult to know their true feelings. It was normal to put on a smiling face in front of others and stab them in the back.
Emma was assassinated. Apart from the demons, the two princes were the biggest suspects.
Emma's enemy. Why did Woking want him to save such an enemy? Liang Lidong pursed his lips and smiled. He was a little interested.
Liang Lidong followed behind the man in black, maintaining a certain distance. When the man rushed out of the city gates, he chased after him.
The guards in charge of guarding the city gates were only mortals. They were indeed good at dealing with ordinary civilians, but when it came to professionals … They only managed to see two shadows before they dashed out of the city gates.
However, one of the city guards was different from the rest. He watched as the two of them walked out of the city gate. He watched them go out of the city gates and immediately picked up a longsword and a standard iron shield from the wall nearby.
He leaped high and smashed into the city walls eight meters away. Because he jumped from a height of more than ten meters and was wearing heavy armor, his feet sank several centimeters into the ground.
Then, he took a deep breath and strode toward the two of them, leaving a series of duang, duang sounds when his iron boots stepped on the stones.
All the city guards were frightened by the accident. They looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone swallowed and asked, "Who's the new guy?"
At this moment, Liang Lidong didn't know that someone was following him. He chased Katie out of the capital and came to the suburbs. Just as she was about to enter the woods, a blazing wall of fire blocked her way.
The wall of fire was at least twenty meters long and six meters tall. It was impossible to jump over it. As for going around it … That was even more impossible. Changing directions would cost her speed, and if she did, the person behind her would definitely catch up.
So, Katie immediately stopped, turned around, and pulled out a small dagger. Although Hitmen weren't strong in head-on combat, she didn't want to be captured without a fight. Her mother was still waiting for her to go back and take care of her.
Liang Lidong stopped about ten meters in front of Katie. He was about to speak when the other party attacked.
Being an Assassin was a job that gave most people headaches. Their stealth abilities were very strong, and their explosive power was also very strong. If a single strike was not enough, they could escape thousands of miles away. Not many people could guarantee that they could deal with an Assassin, except for people like Liang Lidong, who had special vision.
Just like now, Katie knew that there was no hope of escape, so she turned around and attacked Liang Lidong. Her whole body turned into a black shadow, stuck close to the ground, and attacked at an extremely fast speed.
This was the special specialty that Hitmen were most proud of: Shadow Ambush.
This skill didn't produce any sound, no magic fluctuations, and was very fast. If it was used at night or in a dark place, most people wouldn't have time to react and would fall for it. This was also why Hitmen were feared by all the professionals even though they weren't strong in head-on combat.
But it was daytime. Not to mention the wall of fire behind Katie, she was still clearly visible in her black shadow form. More importantly, Liang Lidong had the Cloud Dragon's blue eyes, so no illusion would work on him.
Almost instantly, Liang Lidong took out the Faux Emperor Fallen Sword from his spatial bag. He blocked the stab of the other party's dagger, then pushed Katie back two steps with a little force from his arm. Then, he swung his left hand, which had been hanging down easily, without any warning, at the side of Katie's chin. It was very sudden.
This was actually how players fought. They focused on attacking like an antelope's horn, untraceable.
Most players' attacking methods were very strange and unique. The difference was who had a stronger awareness and was more flexible. After all, even the same magic could be used differently in different battles.
Katie's chin was about to be hit. As long as she was a humanoid creature, if her chin was hit hard, she would easily get a concussion and fall unconscious.
However, as expected of an Agility-based class, Katie stiffened her waist. She watched in surprise as Liang Lidong's fair, smooth fist brushed past her lips. Because it only touched her skin a little, she felt as if her lips were being lightly caressed.
Then, the black veil on her face was knocked aside by the fist and floated down.
She had a delicate and charming face, pink and pure baby lips that were tightly pursed, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that shone like water scissors.
Looking at the familiar face, Liang Lidong asked in surprise, "Fan Bingbing, you're here too?"
Liang Lidong said this in Chinese, but Katie had a confused look on her face. She couldn't understand what Liang Lidong was saying at all.
After a long sigh, Liang Lidong seemed very disappointed.
As the world's first virtual online game, "Continent of Falan" was played by many celebrities, and many of them even streamed the game.
For example, AB, who distributed benefits, Zhou Jieba, who was known to be the best at chanting magic, Fang Shilong, the strongest monk, and so on.
Many celebrities who were about to pass out had a second spring in their film and TV careers because of the game.
As a top star in the mainland, Fan Bingbing naturally wouldn't be considered to be a has-been, so she didn't do any game livestreams. However, she was a celebrity, and she was extremely rich. In order to complete a certain epic quest, she spent a lot of money to hire 6, as well as Liang Lidong and his Knights of the Round Table.
During the epic quest that lasted almost a month, Liang Lidong had become more or less familiar with Fan Bingbing. Of course, they weren't close. She was a big star, after all, and she was always a little arrogant.
Katie looked exactly the same as Fan Bingbing in the game. When Fan Bingbing entered the game, she didn't change her appearance at all except for the color of her hair and eyes. At this moment, Liang Lidong found that the two of them were almost carved from the same mold.
However, he could tell that the woman in front of him didn't understand what he was saying at all.
It wasn't unusual for people who looked exactly the same to occasionally appear in this world. However, Liang Lidong was a little disappointed. If it was Fan Bingbing, no … to be exact, he would be happy if any friend from Earth appeared.
It was really a little lonely in this world.
He looked at the black-clothed woman in front of him and was about to speak when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. The sound of hard metal hitting the ground indicated that the person approaching was fast and fully armed.
Liang Lidong turned around and saw a golden-haired young man wearing light green standard armor, holding an iron shield and a longsword, leaping high into the air from afar.
Liang Lidong immediately took a few steps back, and the young man smashed into the spot where he had just been standing at an extremely fast speed.
This was a Warrior's specialty: Heroic Leap.
Blocking the flying gravel, Liang Lidong looked at the newcomer and found that the young man was holding a shield in his left hand, blocking the left side of his body. The iron sword in his right hand was held very tightly, pointing diagonally at the ground. Liang Lidong also noticed that the young man was slightly bent, as if he had put his weight on the shield in his hand.
It was an extremely vigilant posture, as well as the favorite defensive posture of Shield Warriors.
"Ma 'am, are you alright?" The young man didn't turn around, but he still asked Kati in concern.
Katie was delighted. Then, she pretended to be aggrieved. "The Mage said that he would spare my life if I served him."
Hehe. Liang Lidong's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly admired the woman's acting skills.
The young man immediately became filled with righteous indignation: "You dare to be so arrogant in King's City, you don't seem to pay attention to the laws, Your Excellency the caster."
