Infernal Artist

Ta da...ta da...

Liu Ping rode a horse, crossed mountains, rivers and wastelands, and moved forward on the spacious road.

"stop--"

At the intersection ahead, two soldiers wearing simple leather armor waved.

Liu Ping let the horses move forward and only nodded slightly to the soldiers as a greeting.

In the void beside him, a stuck book suddenly appeared.

The soldier's expression changed and he said respectfully: "It turns out he is a distinguished adult."

They got out of the way.

Liu Ping asked: "How far away is Fulun City?"

"Just walk along the main road and don't go into the side roads. We'll be there in about fifty miles," the soldier said.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Liu Ping asked again.

"The baron of Mill Village is missing. The viscount suspects that he was murdered. All professionals with swords are wanted throughout the country - of course, card masters are not included in this." The soldier said.

"No matter how stupid he is, he will never come to trouble our card master." Liu Ping said calmly.

The soldier lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

It is said that the murderer is not a card master, but a professional who uses a knife.

But it would be difficult to reveal this to a strange card master.

Liu Ping gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately sped up and ran towards the road ahead.

When passing a lake, he paused slightly.

"The water of this lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the floating clouds in the sky. It's so beautiful." Lilith praised.

"Yes, everything here belongs to Viscount Ayton, whether it is the people or the scenery, but I guess his good days are coming to an end." Liu Ping said.

"He is really a big bad guy. Are we going to deal with him this time?" Lilith asked.

"Of course, otherwise I would have no chance of being a stable baron, and promotion would be even less possible, so we have to solve this obstacle."

Liu Ping said and took out a card book.

There is a faint light of fire floating on this card book, which looks quite extraordinary.

A line of small burning characters appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

"Thanks to the power of your knight's crown, your identity is no longer bound. This is the blessing given to you by the heroic spirit of the Eternal Night Pillar."

"You can have different card books at the same time."

Above his head, the halo appeared again.

This time, the halo is no longer empty.

Two small luminous runes quietly appeared at both ends of the halo.

One rune exudes ominous and deathly undertones, while the other is filled with fiery aura.

They represent two card books.

The first stuck book is Death Couple.

The second book is the card book Liu Ping got after killing the card master——

Book of Fire.

"Liu Ping, why can you use two card books? I have never heard of such a thing." Lilith said curiously.

"Maybe it has something to do with my choice at the level 10 node." Liu Ping said.

Yana's voice sounded: "Most people can only use one card book in their lifetime. Very few people can balance different powers in the mysterious side. What did you talk about with the heroic spirits on the Eternal Night Pillar?"

"When I was at level 10, I went to the Eternal Night Divine Pillar. At that time, I had to choose my own direction. I felt that I couldn't restrain myself." Liu Ping said.

"There are too many people who feel that they cannot restrain themselves, but Yongye Shenzhu has never looked at them differently." Yana said.

"Liu Ping is different from them," Zhao Chanyi's voice sounded: "When he was in our world before, there was almost nothing he couldn't do."

"I see, I'm afraid the Eternal Night Divine Pillar has also recognized some of your characteristics."

"Liu Ping," Yana laughed and said softly: "When I first saw you, I thought you had nothing but beauty. I didn't expect..."

"He wasn't so good-looking back then." Zhao Chanyi said.

"Ah, really?" Yana said.

"I once went to look for photos of him when he was a child. Do you want to see them?" Zhao Chanyi said.

"Come to my place and let's take a look together." Yana said.

"Okay." Zhao Chanyi said.

The voices of the two gradually became quieter.

Liu Ping was speechless.

He simply stopped caring about these two women and set his sights on the Book of Fire.

A line of burning small words quickly appeared:

"The Book of Fire."

"With this card book, you will automatically obtain the card master profession: Arsonist."

"Card Exclusive Condition: Release the Flame."

"Instructions: Whenever you release fire, you can turn a card in the book into an exclusive card for the arsonist."

At this time, they had passed the lake, and a city appeared in front of them.

Fren City.

This is a majestic city belonging to Viscount Ayton.

Liu Ping stared at the city, gently pulled out a card and threw it——

Bang!

A tattered flag appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a thief came out from behind the flag, looked at him and said:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Are you a thief from Fulun City?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Take me to our place."

"Is this the mission?"

"By the way, tell me about the customs and customs of Fulun City."

Liu Ping said, reaching out and throwing out a silver coin.

The thief took the silver coin and said happily: "Sir, please come with me. I will tell you slowly."

…

Fren City.

In a castle.

Liu Ping ordered a glass of wine and placed his thief ID card on the table.

Soon.

An old man came to the seat opposite him and said: "Young thief leader - you are too immature. Someone has picked up the identity card of a thief who died in battle before. Is this the same for you?"

No, I killed them.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "Your Excellency, I came here this time to complete my status upgrade."

"Okay, let's do a couple."

The old man took out a list and read: "First, steal property worth fifty gold coins."

Liu Ping threw out a small bag.

The old man picked up the small bag, weighed it, and said, "Are they all gems?"

"I will not get away with it." Liu Ping said with deep meaning.

——When it comes to stealing property worth fifty gold coins, the focus is not on stealing, but on being able to give property worth fifty gold coins as tribute to the organization.

"good."

The old man smiled and put away the bag of gems, and continued to read: "The second item is to defeat three professionals of the same level; the third item is to get to know at least one distinguished card master; the fourth item..."

As he read, he looked at Liu Ping, and finally put down the list and said: "You look only fourteen or fifteen years old - if such a young thief appears in our Assassin's Guild, it will arouse ridicule and criticism, and..."

"And what?" Liu Ping asked.

"How many days have you practiced fighting? Have you really defeated someone of the same profession?" the old man said doubtfully.

"Victory." Liu Ping nodded.

"What weapons are you good at? I see you haven't even grown in stature, how can you fight with others?" the old man said.

"I'm good at daggers, bows and arrows, and some hidden weapons, like this -"

Liu Ping tossed a gold coin.

The gold coin flew across the long table, landed on the old man's cup, rolled around on the rim, and landed in the scalding hot drink.

"Please believe me, I have mastered all kinds of thieves' skills." Liu Ping said seriously.

The old man stared at the cup of hot drink and said slowly: "I think - you may need some training. After all, you are only fourteen or fifteen years old, you are too young - by the way, how old are you?"

"Fourteen years old." Liu Ping said.

"Only fourteen years old——"

The old man was about to continue talking when his voice suddenly stopped.

Under the table, Liu Ping placed a heavier bag of gems on the ground and gently pushed it to his feet.

"...We haven't seen a teenage genius assassin for a long time." The old man said thoughtfully.

"What you said makes sense - I can't just say that I have completed these tasks without any basis. I need someone to prove it for me." Liu Ping said.

The old man looked at him with admiration and praised: "I have always thought that you did a very good job. You only made some mistakes in the second item."

He picked up the bag of gems and put it in his pocket.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping asked.

"I remember one game where you defeated two professionals of the same level at the same time, so you defeated four opponents in total!" the old man said.

"There was no way. You may also remember that they had to go together." Liu Ping sighed.

"Pretty mean."

The old man sighed and asked further: "So, do you want to be an assassin or a great thief?"

"What's the difference?" Liu Ping asked.

"Assassins kill people, and thieves steal treasures - but there is no rule that assassins can't steal treasures. Thieves can also kill people, it just depends on which name you like." The old man said.

"I don't like killing people, so I just want to be a big thief." Liu Ping said.

The old man said "wait a moment", stood up and left.

Not long after, he placed a brand new card in front of Liu Ping.

There are two staggered daggers drawn on the card, surrounded by dark fog.

"Welcome to join us."

The old man said solemnly.

Liu Ping also straightened his expression and picked up the card.

Lines of burning small characters appeared before his eyes:

"This card represents the identity of the current world: the Great Thief."

"With this identity, you can order two thieves leaders and fifteen low-level thieves to complete your mission."

"——You have a closer connection with the Thieves Guild."

"So, now you are a big thief. Frankly speaking, you can tell the low-level thieves to do many things now without having to do it yourself." The old man said.

"I want to take a look at this level of bounty missions and check out some information." Liu Ping said.

"Go to the hall, there is everything you want there." The old man smiled.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."
