He once again focused his attention on the window glass of the "Crypt Tavern" that was half buried underground.
"Tucker" hopes to see whoever is waiting today.
The guy is already an hour late.
However, "Tucker"'s eyes searched the entire dark street, and he did not see the person he was waiting for.
There wasn't even a ghost in the street outside.
"Could it be that that guy took the money and ran away?"
Tucker rubbed his brows.
"After all, that guy is an assassin. When he encountered danger on his last adventure, that guy ran so fast!"
However, after thinking about it carefully, Tucker rejected this possibility.
This is the [Land of Ashes], and now is the period of "Gray Night".
"Lamor Tower City State" is the safest and most protective tower territory within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Unless the assassin is willing to huddle with the kobolds in the cave for warmth.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for that guy to escape successfully before the next "Gray Day" arrives.
"There's probably something that delayed it!"
Although what the assassin brought was crucial to Tucker.
This is the key for Tucker to make the "system" play a huge role.
But reason still allowed Tucker to gradually let go of his half-suspended heart.
His eyes swept around the "Crypt Tavern".
Except for a few adventurers who missed the "gray date" window and were trapped here drinking to drown their sorrows.
There were also a few local drunkards who were already drunk.
No one disturbs myself.
Tucker changed his sitting position, and then... continued to wait.
About three months ago.
"Li Ta" got drunk during a team building event in the company.
Wait until you wake up.
Li Ta traveled to this bizarre and otherworldly world with a strange living environment, roaring steam, numerous supernatural sequences, and death and evil gods waiting in the dark.
If someone drinks too much during a team building and wakes up with a sore butt, it's still understandable.
I drank too much and woke up and traveled directly through time. What the hell is this?
As the memory gradually digests.
"Leeta" also gradually accepted the fact that he had traveled to a dangerous supernatural world and became a trainee wizard "Tucker".
Sixteen again!
Have a new life.
In the future, there is even hope to appreciate the sleeping posture of young seniors at four o'clock in the morning.
Everything is on a good track.
Tucker is full of ambition and ready to show off his talents to meet his new life.
but!
After nine hungry meals in three days.
Tucker recognized the reality.
In this world, I am just an orphan whose parents died in the "Undertow of Ashes".
There is only a "cave cabin" left by his parents for himself.
Although I am a Level 5 [Trainee Wizard].
But there are a lot of trainees of this level in the city-state of Larmore Tower.
Fortunately, the traveler's benefits were received before Tucker starved to death.
[Robust Development System]
This is Tucker's golden finger.
By anchoring an area, you can gain experience, specialty resources, etc., and carry out the steady development of long-term threads.
With the system in place, Tucker immediately stopped panicking.
Later, Tucker borrowed the system and began his own steady development journey.
In just three months.
Tucker raised his level from the original level 5 to the current level 9.
At the same time, several of Tucker's extraordinary skills have also been fully improved.
Although Tucker has some strength now.
But Tucker knew.
The previously anchored areas were all "ordinary areas" accessible to normal people.
What you get are just ordinary resources.
Tucker urgently needs to anchor a "rare area" that is rich in energy and dangerous.
Obtain "rare resources" that can truly transform yourself.
And today in this crypt tavern.
This is the opportunity Tucker is waiting for.
"Bang!"
The door of the Crypt Tavern was pushed open violently.
Along with the cold air that penetrated the bone marrow, a group of figures quickly got in, and then closed the door of the tavern at the same speed.
The person who came was seventeen or eighteen years old, with short blue hair, wearing silver-white leather armor, and a linen burqa. Under the burqa, a dagger could be vaguely seen.
The originally handsome face was slightly distorted and turned white due to the cold.
"This damn weather is too cold."
The young assassin shrank his neck, his teeth chattering, and then said to the bartender.
"Give me a glass of Varoji soju."
Varoji soju is the favorite soju among adventurers in the Land of Ashes.
Cheap, plentiful, and ward off the cold!
Soon, a glass of warm Varoji soju was pushed in front of the young assassin.
After drinking half the cup in one breath, a slight rosy glow appeared on the young assassin's face.
"If you don't come, I'll think you're going to take the money and run away!"
"Besides, you're already an hour and a half late, Carlos."
Tucker looked calm as usual, and his voice was soothing and steady.
Carlos, whose extraordinary sequence was [Assassin], turned around and looked at Tucker.
There is no contempt because the other party is younger than him and his sequence restrains him.
In the last adventure, Tucker's performance in the team was completely thigh-level.
The method highlights a quick, accurate, and ruthless approach!
If it weren't for Tucker's several shots at critical moments, the team would definitely have lost manpower on the way back.
What's more important is that the last time he encountered danger, this guy ran away no slower than him.
Damn it, he is a wizard who is not known for his speed!
Carlos also heard.
In Ash Date, Tucker's several adventures have been fruitful.
Tucker was targeted by several street gang members.
But the result was that when the corpses of those guys were found by the necromancer deep in the crypt passage, they had been eaten by rats to a disgraceful state.
And Tucker is safe and sound!
"Are you kidding? How could I get away with your money?"
"I dare to get your money, but you're afraid it's going to cost me my life!"
Carlos smiled. Naturally, he didn't dare to say this last sentence. .
"When I was about to come over, my sister stopped me." Carlos spread his hands.
"You also know that the place we went to last time was very dangerous."
"And my sister's temper..."
Carlos said intermittently.
This made Tucker start to envy this guy "Carlos" for having such a good sister.
Carlos's sister, a combination of talent and good looks, is highly regarded by the wizard Count Larmore.
Moreover, she is also a supporter demon!
Soon, Varoji soju bottomed out.
"Things, are you ready?" Tucker lowered his voice.
"Yeah!"
Carlos nodded carefully.
"Are you sure you really want to go there?"
"That's one of the forbidden areas in the city-state of Larmor Towers."
"Once something goes wrong, being expelled is a trivial matter, and I'm afraid your life will be lost there."
"You You can choose not to go!"
Tucker responded lightly.
"Haha... You promised me back then, if I find anything..."
When he said this, Carlos looked around alertly.
Although the guests in the tavern did not pay attention to the conversation between the two, Carlos was still smart enough not to say much.
"Let's go!"
Tucker stood up, glanced at a deserted corner of the Crypt Tavern, and then walked outside.
Carlos followed.
