Chapter 113
At City of Barbarians’ dessert, between the yellow send, a figure could be vaguely seen . He wore a black cloak and a Behemoth Helmet . He closed his eyes tightly, and his lips trembled… Spitting out sand from his mouth from time to time .

“Just this environment alone, he would need to add a few more silver coins . ” That person scolded and opened the map to confirm his employer’s position . He nearly despaired . “There’s still half a map left?”
That person was the one that accepted Lin Jie’s mission, ‘Codename Thousand Miles’!
City of Barbarian’s dessert was just too terrible, even if an Earth Mage was here, it would also be difficult to protect one’s whole body .
When he walked to the elemental altar, exhausted, he saw his employer, who was waiting for him with his arms crossed . Then, he immediately drew himself up and walked up front . He stretched out his right hand coolly and said to Lin Jie, “Codename Thousand Miles, at your service . ”
Lin Jie’s mouth twitched . ‘This guy, it wasn’t easy for him to walk all the way here…’ The black cloak he wore was almost completely torn by the fierce wind, while the joints of the close-fitting armor were golden yellow .
“Where’s the mission target?” He asked .
“You should clean yourself up first…” Lin Jie couldn’t bear to see him like that and took out a huge amount of fresh water .
As a Warrior, he did not need to use fresh water to recover his mana, but for the trip at City of Barbarians, he cleverly brought plenty of “bathing water” .
That man pondered for a while and then he heavily nodded his head . He removed his cloak at once, revealing the red and blue close-fitting armor .
Boots of Cold Ice, Elemental Destruction Greaves, Elemental Destruction Armor, Bracers of Soulflayer, Magic Twin Rings… Lin Jie recognized his equipment . After his seven years in his previous life, he had already trained his eyes to become the strongest Identify Skill .
The man removed all his armors, only left with the system’s forcefully-retained small underwear . He poured tens of freshwater onto himself at one time, and it was so comfortable that his whole body shivered .
“Cough, could you turn around?” He could feel his crotch area bulging and said embarrassingly .
Lin Jie rolled his eyes and turned around .
“Sha…”
Behind him, the sound of yellow sand landing on the ground could be heard, ‘OMG, just how much sand was inside his underwear?’
“Cleaning complete . ” He had already worn back his equipment, but the lower half of his face that was not covered by the Behemoth Helmet could not keep a straight face anymore . He explained, “Normally when I go for missions, I would keep a grim expression, today is an exception . ”
“Oh…” Lin Jie nodded his head awkwardly and hurriedly changed the topic, “Show me your skill list . ”
He opened the panel and codename Thousand Miles’ job was an Elemental Swordsman, he specialized mainly in ice and fire attributes, with earth and wind attributes as an assist, just nice fitting the request .
Coming in front of the element clones, which were identical to the Sword Saint, all looked at the two of them angrily with their longswords ready to attack .

“Terrain control, first kill the ice element . ” Lin Jie marked the ice element clone . As long as the cold ice clone’s Health Points was lower than 90%, Lin Jie’s Flame Boost could deal the full amount of damage .
Codename Thousand Miles nodded his head and took out a smooth ice sword that looked just like a mirror .
“Element Duplicate!”
He shouted in a deep voice and fire enveloped the tip of his sword, forming a fire figure! That looked exactly the same as the Sword Saint’s clone!
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows . ‘That’s the level 30 skill of an Elemental Swordsman . Has he already learned it?’
As both of them were a team, Lin Jie could easily see the stats of the replica .
[Replica] (Master: Codename Thousand Miles)
Level 20
Health Points: 100,000
Attack: 0
Defense: 0
Attributes: Damage 100% reflect
“Get him!”
The replica charged towards the fire clone and raised its longsword high up! The fire clone’s sword skill burst out, the two of them crossed swords, and fire sparks flew in all directions!
-452!
-452!
The two of them, which were exactly identical, received the same attack!
As there were not many players who changed their job to Elemental Swordsman, it caused the job to become a bit mysterious . Element Duplicate was one of them, its effect was to create a clone with the same looks as the target and could move of its own will . However, its attack and defense were both 0 .
As long as one didn’t hit it, it would be useless!

However, at that time, players were not familiar with that skill at all . Elemental Swordsmen relied on that skill after level 30 to have an overwhelming edge over other players, killing anyone that got into their way .
That even made many players to delete their accounts and choose to train to become an Elemental Swordsman . Only until this job started to become more widespread, then people realized that this skill was only like that… It was impossible for The New Age to have an invincible skill!
However, in the situation now, the effect of Element Duplicate was evident!
Four element clones were all attracted by it, the harder they hit, the more health they dropped and the firmer their aggro value!
With Broken Blade in his hand, Lin Jie wiped it gently, and it was ablaze, burning violently .
Flame Boost was activated!
Codename Thousand Miles also had a layer of roaring flames on his sword . He swung his longsword, and the ground suddenly exploded while flames surged out from within!
Roaring Flames Ground Fissure Slash!
-195!
With a successful attack, Codename Thousand Miles smiled . He was very satisfied with his damage .
However, who expected that Lin Jie, who was next to the ice clone, charged up while aiming at it and with a slash of Flame Boost, the whole sky was filled with wilful Flame Blade Auras . Army Obliteration hacked into the body of the ice clone and melted a small part of it!
-495!
-547!
-455!
“Don’t just stand there, attack!” shouted Lin Jie, activating Blood Power, Blood Soul Multi-slash . He directly chopped off the ice clone’s head!
-1,150!
A huge four digit number popped up gradually . The ice clone was attacked by two people, and in just three minutes, it had already fallen!
Meanwhile, at that time, the Element Replica finally died, and each of the three elements had around 75% of Health Points left .
“Employer, let’s kill the fire element first . ” Codename Thousand Miles’ weapon had already been switched to Ice attribute . He specialized mainly in ice and fire attributes, so the damage dealt would be a little higher .
“Okay!”
Lin Jie’s blades were covered in a layer of cold ice, Ice Soul Slash was as though huge waves surging, freezing the three elements!
A shred of astonishment flashed in codename Thousand Miles’ eyes . ‘Such a high attack power and he even has an AOE control skill, he’s way too strong!’
After the death of the ice clone, the clones of the Sword Saint lost their ability to control themselves, killing the fire element was extremely easy for the two Warriors which had control skills and strong output .
When the fire clone died, and only the earth and wind clones were left, the battle was already decided .
“You…”
The wind clone let out a scream like a lament, death!
—’You have killed Elemental Sword Saint’s four element clones, you can now converse with Grimm . ’
“You’ve done well,” said Lin Jie as he smiled .
Elemental creatures were like that, as long as their Health Points were not full, they could be easily killed . However, on the contrary, no matter how powerful the attack was, it would be useless .
“Your Brotherhood points will be transferred to under your personal name after 1 hour . ”
“Employer… I only need 50 silver coins . ”
Codename Thousand Miles said seriously, “In this battle, I did not play a big role, I’m not worth that much money . ”
“I admire your attitude . ” Lin Jie said sternly, “then I’ll only give you 50 silver coins, come and change the contract…”
“Eh…” Codename Thousand Miles widened his eyes .
After completing the mission, the employer would give the commission according to the contract . Since the price Lin Jie had set in the beginning was one gold coin worth of Brotherhood points, if nothing unexpected happened, the amount Codename Thousand Miles would get should be that amount .
That sentence… was purely pretending to be modest for a bit, and leave a good impression to Lin Jie .
However, as a result, that employer seriously wanted to change the contract…’F*ck!’ If he had known it, he wouldn’t have pretended! 50 silver coins worth of equivalent Brotherhood points that would need him to work for at least a month!
“The contract has been changed, come, tap confirm . ” Lin Jie smiled as he said, “Good comrade, you actually took the initiative to lower the price . ”
“Employer… I-I…” Codename Thousand Miles could only suffer in silence and reluctantly press confirm .
A second before he pressed, the confirmation option disappeared . A prompt message appeared in Brotherhood ‘Under your name, one gold equivalent worth of Brotherhood points has increased, your mission grade within Brotherhood has increased, the detailed rules and regulations of the benefits you shall enjoy are as below…”
‘That guy… don’t jerk me around like that! Having such a huge rise and fall, the stress on my heart is very big . ’
At the Element Alter .
Grimm hid within the dark fog . The elements that completely changed their nature floated around randomly, as though it was a paradise .
“Lord…”
“I refuse . ”
Before Lin Jie opened his mouth, Grimm straightforwardly rejected him . “I have already completed my mission long ago . The me now, my strength, is not even as powerful as the Holy Church’s Knights . ”
“My role in battle is not big, but if I die on the battlefield, the whole The New Age’s elemental power will decrease by 5% . This value is a fatal blow to the many Mages and Elemental Swordsmen . ”
“For them, I would not join . ”
Grimm, his race was human, and also the only human hero within the Sword Saints . He was born in a noble family, but as his body contained powerful elemental strength, he was thus forced to walk on the path of training .
He tried to revolt before, shamelessly staying in his noble family by all means, living without any worries for food or clothes for 20 years . However, the day he married his wife and gave birth to his child, God gave him a horrible punishment for his act of wasting his life away!
The elemental strengths went ballistic and made Grimm kill his whole family on the night of the wedding without warning . It included his lovely wife, which he loved for over 10 years, and that fruit of their love which was born long ago .
“It was the fault of the Devils, they have corrupted your heart,” Bishop explained to Grimm .
Grimm returned to his home that was already destroyed and broke off an ice crystal from the cold ice that pierced through his wife’s belly . He used that as his weapon and walked onto the path of an Elemental Sword Saint .
In his life, he killed countless of Devils and sacrificed half of his strength to seal the Devils Fork .
The remaining half of his strength did not let Grimm live a peaceful and calm life, but on the contrary, as his strength was too powerful, the elements in his body had their own thoughts and wholeheartedly wanted to seize his body . He was then forced to train again .
The elements split into clones with different personalities . The torment that continued for a long time made Grimm cowardly — that Elemental Sword Saint who stepped on Devils’ bodies, raised his head up high and roared towards the sky, had long disappeared!
