Chapter 534: Chapter 418 Grey Green and Gold Coin Chapter 534: Chapter 418 Grey Green and Gold Coin “Aiwass, someone is coming.”
Suddenly, Vinesse, perched on Aiwass’s shoulder, spoke up to alert him, “No malice.”
Her voice was soft like a whisper during a bedtime story.
The crow gently pecked at a lock of hair by Aiwass’s temple, causing him to raise a hand to soothe the itchy sensation.
“Are they looking for me?”
Aiwass casually confirmed.
He posed the question, but he had already trusted Vinesse’s warning.
Therefore, Aiwass tightened his collar, shifted his scarf to one side, and wore his coat more snugly to slightly cover the fresh bloodstain at his neck.
The scent of blood in the air was probably impossible to clear away.
But maintaining cleanliness was also a form of courtesy when receiving guests.
As for who would come looking for him—those who knew Aiwass was at Lohar Society at this time, had the guts to approach him, had no malice, and also knew he was on the seventeenth floor treating his wounds were already few.
If the range was further limited to those within Aiwass’s hearing threshold, there would only be one person.
So, when there was a gentle knock on the office door from outside, Aiwass directly invited, “Please come in, Miss Grey Green.”
The person who opened the door was a woman whose dress and appearance, or even her facial features, looked quite ordinary.
She seemed like a housewife from next door, appearing to be in her forties, with a slightly hunched back.
She had coarse, frizzy brown hair with split ends and murky gray-green pupils like those of a wolf.
The woman seemed very mild, even somewhat restrained.
When she entered the office, she unconsciously grasped the hem of her dress—as if she were a simple farmer suddenly called into the school office by her child’s teacher, flustered and at a loss.
If it weren’t for Aiwass being completely unable to hear her footsteps, he might have actually mistaken her for an ordinary person.
Without a doubt, this very simple flaw was deliberately exposed to Aiwass by her.
If she had intentionally concealed her identity, Aiwass would have had no way of noticing.
“Minister Moriarty…”
The woman replied respectfully in a low voice.
And Aiwass simply nodded warmly, “Please take a seat.”
This unexpectedly hospitable attitude of Aiwass somewhat surprised Grey Green.
Because Aiwass’s demeanor was so friendly it rendered all her backup plans to persuade Aiwass ineffective.
“You…
know me?”
“Miss Grey Green” sat down slowly with a look of surprise.
“Of course.”
Aiwass nodded and said with a smile, “Lohar Society’s ‘Grey Green,’ the leader of Avalon’s largest assassin organization.”
She still was the version 1.0 assassin profession mentor.
She also was the only boss within the third-rate organization of Lohar Society that was worthy of joining the main content.
Even though “Avalon’s assassins” sounded somewhat ridiculous…
but when picking the tallest in a group of short people, this unassuming middle-aged lady truly was Avalon’s strongest assassin.
In the original timeline, it was Grey Green who accepted Minister Drost’s commission, dispatching the assassin who targeted Lily and her mother; and in the end, Tommy Lohar, the leader of Lohar Society, also died at Grey Green’s hand, after which she became the new leader of the society.
Initially, Aiwass had prepared a disguise identity “Grey” for Lily in her promotion ceremony, which was based on being an apprentice of “Miss Grey Green.”
And before Tommy was adopted by Lohar, he was also an assassin apprentice trained with Grey Green by their “mother.” However, due to Tommy’s lack of talent in that area, he was eventually eliminated and taken away by the previous President Lohar.
“Grey Green’s” profession was Blade Walker, commonly known as “Poison Stinger.”
She was an assassin specializing in various poisonous killing techniques, and also a mentor that players were very fond of.
Later on, when she joined the core content, she also generously dropped the level 50 gear set for the Poison Stinger profession.
It can be said that her reputation was high throughout her life.
That’s why when Aiwass was preparing an identity for Lily, it was a subconscious thought to consider her.
Compared to Shadow Assassins that built their skill system around “Shadow Stealth” or “digging through the ground,” and snipers who launch long-range ambushes after being stealthed, “Poison Stingers” who are adept at poison application and brutal sneak attacks better suited the operational habits of assassins coming from other games.@@novelbin@@
It undoubtedly was the assassin that fit Avalon’s features the best.
Because assassins proficient in invisibility and stealth could easily get exposed by a flash grenade from the Legal Mages and Priests scattered across Avalon; and sharpshooters using firearms posed little threat to robustly armored tin cans.
If one wanted to forcefully assassinate knights who were robust and thick-skinned, and often surrounded by Attendants and stewards in Avalon—where healers are everywhere—their ability to fight had to be strong.
They had to produce a large amount of damage in a short time and have continuous control abilities, preferably damage that could ignore armor.
—Aside from Blade Walkers, other assassin legacy systems couldn’t make it in Avalon.
Even a top-tier assassin like Miss Assassin Croix, who could assassinate Transcendents of similar levels in Iris Flower, would hardly succeed in eliminating an Arbiter of the same level in Avalon.
Because knights above Energy Level four had too strong vitality.
She could likely complete a set of skills and still not kill her target, only to be dragged until reinforcements arrived.
Director Gordon’s encounter with the Aberrant Limb Demon, who got a face-full of ‘Ora Ora Ora’ without even suffering a broken bone, was proof.
What do you think?
