Chapter 228: Attacking the Assassin
Coins, layer upon layer of coins piled up at the bottom of the pool, completely covering the entire bottom of the pool without leaving a trace.
Looking over the pond wall from top to bottom, Lin Hun observed the coins more carefully and thoroughly.
There was a flash of golden light visible to the naked eye, mixed with a hint of silver light.
When Lin Hun first saw it, he thought of the wishing well in the temple pond.
Souls are the currency in Lordran, so it is understandable that Lin Hun disdains gold coins.
The only thing that puzzled him was why there were so many gold coins here?
The love for gold and the desire for gold seem to be rooted in everyone's soul.
Lin Hun instinctively looked around and stared at the closed windows and doors around him.
However, as he had observed before, there was indeed no one in the houses behind these windows.
He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
Why are you so nervous about me! ?
Lin Hun reacted instantly and slapped himself on the face to sober himself up.
"The gold, silver and copper coins in my waist bag are almost piled up into a small mountain.
It would be fine if the gold coins in these pools could be used, but this is Lordran and these coins are not even as useful as a rusty sword that can be melted down and recast.
I feel like it takes up space in my pocket, if it wasn't for the emergency, I would have thrown it all away to make room for other things."

For some time afterwards, Lin Hun left the square and wandered around the lower city, mainly to look for the sorcerer that Brother Huixin mentioned.
However, although the lower city area is called the lower city area, its area is no smaller than that of the middle city. Ever since the three dogs and Lin Hun were dealt with, they have been suspicious all the way. Every step they take and every corner they pass follows the three-word rule: look, peek, and explore.
The first step is to "look" and observe the overall situation to see if there are any enemies.
The second step is to "peek" again, and peek from every nook and cranny.
The last part of the third part is "Explore", where you insert the weapon in your hand half a step forward into various suspicious places.
Even with such caution, Lin Hun never saw any other life.
Walking on the monotonous winding path, I gradually felt relaxed and leisurely.
They kick left and right, under the pretext of inspecting the quality of buildings in the lower city.
The lower city area was already much darker due to its terrain, and the roads were even darker due to the obstruction of the houses on both sides. The pale light from the sky could not even reach the deepest part of the alleys.
Lin Hun shifted his focus from fighting the enemy to other places.
He cast his eyes towards the furnishings in the room, sizing them up and reasoning about them, and finally spoke out his conclusion:
"It seems that there are only two people in this family."
Without agreeing or disagreeing, Lin Hun walked out of the room through the broken wooden door, turned around and kicked open the side door to enter the neighbor's house.
In order to kill the boring searching time, Lin Hun started the so-called reasoning game by himself, breaking into the residents' rooms and deducing how many indigenous people were in the house based on the information.
By the way, try to scrape out the last layer from the house which has no oil or water.
There is usually no one in these houses anyway, so there is no need to worry about claims even if someone breaks in.
However, his ideas failed again and again. After all, everyone was so poor that they lived in the downtown area, and the only valuable things in the house were probably the furniture.
But there was no disappointment on his face.
The purpose is to find something interesting to do on the road ahead, so why bother with the so-called gains and losses.
"Rustling! Rustling!"
A slight noise was heard, and Lin Hun raised his eyebrows, with joy in his eyes.
He now held the cotton with one hand and pressed down a corner with one foot, while with the other hand he held the sword and started cutting the cotton seriously.
This room was the poorest one he had ever seen. Only one of the two bedrooms had a bed.
There was no table, and there were only two chairs, one tall and one short, in the living room.
The mattress and quilt on the bed were quite neatly made. After seeing so many messy beds, I knew something was wrong with this bed at first glance.
Even a rookie expert like Lin Hun couldn't tell how many people had lived in this house.
He could only find the mystery from the few things he had.
When dismantling the bedding, Lin Hun's movements were rather brutal, mostly using the sword to draw a line, opening it up while also ensuring maximum integrity.
The rush of air kicked up the dust on the ground, which kept rolling in the house.
The old dust that had been accumulating for who knows how long immediately filled the room, and Lin Hun, who was inside the room, saw everything as blurry and unclear.
"Rust!"
The subtle noises reappeared, but Lin Hun was still concentrating on dealing with the four-piece bedding set, as if he thought that these noises were made when removing the mattress and were normal.
"disturbing noise!"
As the last slight sound faded away, Lin Hun let go of the quilt.
He had taken apart all four pieces of bed sets, leaving strips of cotton wool and cloth scattered in front of him in a mess.
Objects that are already yellowish take on a darker color when exposed to the ubiquitous dust.
He straightened his back, held his sword, and looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction.
Although he did not gain any new discoveries from the bedding, nor did he obtain any key information about how many people were in the house, at least he had tried his best.
He straightened his chest, stretched his arms upwards, raised his head, and was about to stretch.
"bass!"
Accompanied by a slight "rustling" sound, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from Lin Hun's side.
The red copper light emitted a bloody glow and cut towards Lin Hun's throat, ready to take his life the moment he relaxed.
The attacker was lurking in the dust and had sneaked up to Lin Hun's side without anyone noticing!
"Finally waiting for you!"
Lin Hun stopped stretching halfway when a black shadow appeared. He twisted his body and shrugged his shoulders to clamp his neck.
Although this feeling of being neither up nor down made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was forced to stop going to the toilet halfway, this was already within his expectations.
As long as you can catch the follower behind you, everything is worth it.
At the same time that Lin Hun reacted, the attacker also realized that his tracks had been exposed.
In a split second, the little wisdom left in his dry brain made a decision:
"Since I've been exposed, I might as well do it to the end and be done with it!"
His fingers turned, and the copper dagger flew over his fingertips. His gesture changed from cutting with the dagger in hand to dissecting with the backhand.
As the blade flipped, the dim light outside the house shifted along the blade edge and shot towards Lin Hun's eyes like a bullet.
The light bullet has no killing power, it just flashes the prey's eyes.
Whether the prey tilts its head or closes its eyes in the end, it will give the hunter a precious moment of opportunity.
Even though he didn't have much rationality, this little skill had already been rooted in his body.
It's just a little subconscious action, but it's also a necessary action for success!
At the same time, the hunter's target changed from the small neck to Lin Hun's heart.
As long as you can hit the target, it doesn't matter whether the throat is cut or the heart is disemboweled!
Lin Hun was stunned for a moment, without any panic or fear of the impending crisis.
Because he had already discovered long ago that this little tail, which came from nowhere, was following him.
