Chapter 179 Assassin League
After daybreak, Rhodes finished his practice of Divine Illumination, and after a simple wash, he went downstairs to listen to the mercenaries discuss what happened last night.

He came down a little early, those mercenaries had just woken up, and they didn't figure out what happened yesterday, but they probably would be able to find out what happened by noon at most.

Rhodes left the tavern after breakfast, and he walked towards the largest tower in the north, wanting to see what the current situation was like there.

Halfway through, Rhodes decided to forget it.

Previous studies have found that many criminals will return to the scene of their crimes to appreciate their own works.

Rhodes felt that it was better not to go back, maybe someone would find out.

However, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that only those criminals who were a little bit psychotic would return to the scene of the crime to appreciate their works.

Am I a little out of sorts now?Rhodes thought standing in the middle of the street.

He shook his head to get rid of the thought, turned and walked towards the grocery store he went to a few days ago.

"Do you have any magic equipment for sale here?" Rhodes said to Gilbert who was lazily sitting on the chair.

The first reaction of the mercenary adventurers after getting the items is whether they can use them. If they can't use them, they will subconsciously think of selling them to grocery stores.

So there are all kinds of messy things in general grocery stores, whether it is alchemy materials, weapons and equipment, or various books.

And this grocery store is called "Alchemist's Collection", which is why Rhodes went to this store to buy gunpowder before. The name of the store is still very important.

"What do you want?" Jill opened her eyes.

"Is there any equipment like a space ring? It's the kind of equipment that can store items with its own space?" Rhodes asked. He wants a space ring now.

"No." Jill shook his head, "but someone owns this fortress."

Rhodes was stunned, he just said no, why did he tell himself that someone owns this fort, did he see something about me?

In the future, I'd better not come to this grocery store again. Maybe this guy made gunpowder himself based on the materials he bought from him, and then linked yesterday's explosion to me.

Still a little careless.

"Is that person going to buy his space ring?" Rhodes asked.

"No, I just want to cooperate with you. I know someone who wants to collect that ring and use it to open a treasure. If you help me get that ring, I can give you a piece of equipment that also has the function of space storage " Jill sat up and said seriously, "I know that you did what happened a few days ago, but I will keep it secret for you."

Rhodes suddenly thought of the woman who robbed his space ring.

"A female assassin who is good at illusion? Still carrying a drug and a teleportation scroll?" Rhodes asked.

The strange look on Jill's face "How do you know?"

Rhodes shot suddenly, he was not wearing armor, so his movements were very agile.

He and Gilbert were only separated by a counter, so close, he pointed to Gilbert's pockmarks with the space.

Rhodes still has some things he wants to know, and he doesn't want to kill him directly.

"What kind of sorcery are you using? The equipment I wear can be counteracted by magic, magic, or even witchcraft on the grassland. Why does it suddenly fail?" Gilbert asked loudly.

Rhodes clicked his Ya acupuncture point again, and then closed and locked the door of the grocery store.

After using the mage ball, he found several magic traps in the grocery store. He directly removed the Bane of the Wise Man from his waist to dismantle these traps violently.

Then Rhodes dragged the immobile Gilbert towards the basement below the grocery store.

He also used violence to dismantle the magic traps in the basement. These traps need to be controlled by someone to trigger them. Gilbert was paralyzed all over his body and couldn't move, and he couldn't even use spells after being hit with dumb points.

After arriving in the basement, Rhodes set Gilbert with a negative effect of Calamity of the Wise, and then unlocked his dumb acupoint.

"Don't kill me, I swear I won't say anything." Gilbert looked at Rhodes with the dagger in his hand and begged for mercy.

"Only the dead can't speak." Rhodes shook his head, "Tell me more about your friend."

"That female assassin? I didn't say she was my friend. I used to have a ring like that, but it was snatched away by her, and she humiliated me severely. I want you to get it A similar ring to lure her into my trap and come back with revenge," Gilbert explained.

"Are you her opponent? And revenge." Rhodes was not sure if he could deal with that female assassin, unless he was invulnerable to poison and immune to magic.

Although he has a lot of magic power in his body, he has a certain resistance to magic, but he is still not sure if he can handle the mysterious illusion magic.

And those assassins who are proficient in illusion magic can assassinate others in full view without even being discovered, just like in the tavern in the small town next to White Hart Castle, the former head of the Blood Raven Mercenary Group drank and bragged. It was suddenly killed by someone, and no one knew who did it.

"As long as I'm prepared, I can still catch her. In fact, she is not very capable in frontal combat. She can become the number one illusion assassin mainly because of her innate talent for illusion." Gilbert explained.

"Assassins still have a ranking?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"You still know too little. There is an alliance of assassins all over the continent. Whether it is the southernmost desert or the northernmost snowfield, there are their people. But if you want to join it, you must have an introduction from an alliance member. Those in the alliance will accept all kinds of assassination or sabotage commissions, and these rankings are also created by the people inside." Gilbert explained.

"The League of Assassins is managed by the 'King of Assassins'?" Rhodes suddenly remembered a man in black wearing a bronze mask.

"Well, he is the shadow of the entire continent, the emperor who rules the underground world." Gilbert replied.

"Do you have any magic contract or something, the kind that you can't betray me after signing with me?" Rhodes asked.

"I wouldn't sign it with you. It's better to kill me than to be controlled by others all my life. Although I'm afraid of death, it doesn't mean I'm willing to be someone else's slave." Gilbert snorted.

"I'm working with you, who is that person with that ring?" Rhodes asked...
