Chapter 20(1/3)
In a small hotel on the outskirts of Francis, a businessman with a shaved head went up the top floor and walked into the room he had been booking.
From here you can vaguely see one of the most prosperous aristocratic residential areas in the city, where many members of the wealthy families with prominent reputations in Franck lived, and they are also the most densely packed residences of the foreign princes in the capital.
The little heir of Sethborough lived there.
The reason why Lomel left that safe hiding place was because of his always-prepared habits, only the few people he was closest to knew that he liked to watch his opponent die with his own eyes.
Only the people closest to him knew that every time the killer Dier left him to perform a dangerous and important task, he would leave his original hiding place and search for a hiding place alone in the vast sea of people.
The fires soared into the sky in the distance, and the flames made Lomel understand that Dier's actions failed. It was obvious that his old opponents had already prepared for their attack.
Lomel has always been worried that Hyde's men would hide in the tunnel once they encounter danger. Darkru gave himself a drawing to prove that there is indeed an authentic tunnel under the villa.
Whether Dier can successfully assassinate depends on whether he can attack before the other party notices him.
It is precisely this reason that we must try our best to adjust the number one killer under our old opponent from afar, so that we can't let him notice it. Even a skilled killer like Dier is not sure at all.
What made Lomel feel helpless and melancholy was that Dier's failure obviously proved that his old opponent also had a killer who was no less powerful than Dier, and he could also detect Dier's existence.
In the distance, the killer king whom Lomer trusted and valued, stayed in the shadows in the corner of the wall, and the fire made it even darker and hard to detect.
He felt quite strange about this failure.
Because he did not feel that there was a master in the villa that could threaten him, but it was obvious that someone in the villa discovered his arrival.
Dier did not search the entire villa because it was a villa full of murderous intentions.
He had lost two men, and he did not intend to put himself in trouble.
After all, living in this villa is a magician, and the power of magic is not known to him. He definitely does not want to confront opponents who are not clear about the details.
Looking at the burning fire, the killer king who traversed the southwest coast of Francis was waiting patiently. Since the first target had escaped from his grasp, he could only wait for other targets to fall into the trap.
Dier hid in the shadow of the corner and guessed who would be the first prey that touched the net, the opponent who made him taste the bitter fruit of failure several times, or the young heir of Sethborough.
People who are also hiding in the tightly sealed tunnel are also speculating when the crisis will pass.
Fanny, Listen and the somewhat crazy Mr. Dumilier didn't know they were part of a huge trap that was unimaginably complex.
Although Miss Lanty also knew nothing about the thieves' plans, she noticed some different aura.
In recent days, Ribo has used his deadly magic to set the entire villa into a huge trap every day.
For everyone living here, even passing through the corridor must be careful, because most of the aisle is covered with the deadly mist, and the same is true in the rooms and halls, and there is even a correct passage from the door to the edge of the bed.
Such a layout is obviously far beyond the level of ensuring one's own safety.
What made Miss Lanty even more uneasy was that Ribo, including Mr. Nehyde, became mysterious.
There is only one explanation for all this, and that is that some amazing plan is in progress.
Miss Lanty speculated about what Rebe was doing now, and according to past experience, what was given to Rebe is often the most dangerous task. This was the only thing Miss Lanty was dissatisfied with that Lord Hyde.
...
Ruibo was close to the wall like a gecko. He was only two meters away from the ground, but he didn't dare to move at all because there were two killers standing below him, and the two killers cooperated very well. Their standing positions were a certain distance away. He was not able to solve all these two guys in one go.
Ruibo had been waiting for a while, and he was waiting for these two colleagues to leave, but now it seemed that these two guys obviously did not intend to leave.
The disciples who were personally told by the Killer King finally decided to take a risk. What worried him the most was that he was really unable to determine whether the steel hooks used to hook the cracks of the rocks on the gloves could also be used to kill people. This was not like a powerful weapon.
Rebe decided to take a risk, and he let go of his hands and jumped off gently.
A slight voice immediately attracted the attention of the two killers, but when they looked up and found nothing.
Suddenly, the killer approaching the outside covered his throat in pain, and blood shot out from the gaps in his fingers.
What made the other killer feel creepy was that he did not see any murderer, and only his paws that had been covered in blood floated out of thin air.
It was definitely a terrifying thing he had never seen before, but he was absolutely sure that it was a terrifying demon from the underworld, because only the demons had a pair of hands that were very similar to humans but had sharp claws.
What scared the killer even more was that the blood-red claw was gradually disappearing.
He was even more convinced that it was a terrible devil, and at the same time he was sure that the terrible devil was the same terrible little heir of Serthburg, the famous little magician summoned from the abyss of hell as his tool of killing.
"Demon, he summoned a demon." The killer screamed and fled. The terrifying look on his face made everyone believe that he had indeed seen a terrifying demon with his own eyes.
Almost in a flash, the killers' confidence completely collapsed because they might have the courage to face the deadly curse, but they absolutely do not want to be torn to pieces or eaten by a devil.
The holy book says that the person killed by a demon will possess his soul for the demon who killed him, and even the merciful Father God cannot save this poor soul from the endless suffering.
Unexpectedly, the guards did not step up their attacks due to the shock of the killers. It was obvious that the news that the little heir of Sethburg summoned a demon had also reached their ears.
Like the killers, members of the escort team of the Legal Affairs Bureau are also worried that they will be killed by demons and are also afraid of the inextricable suffering.
On the narrow street, the two sides were silently confronting each other.
Ruibo passed through the alley, which seemed like a natural chasm. The road in the middle could only allow one person to pass through, because this alley was obviously too beneficial to the defenders, so neither the guard nor the killer intended to pass through here.
The alley is very deep, and two members of the escort team of the Legal Affairs Bureau stand at the end.
Rebow passed by them silently, and he did not intend to let others know that he had the ability to be invisible.
The streets were filled with officers and soldiers from the escort team of the Legal Affairs Bureau, and the chaotic sounds of heavy armor colliding with each other could be heard everywhere.
Ruibo looked around, and he felt regretful that there were no suitable horses for riding here, and there were several carriages parked.
Ruibo continued to walk far away, and after walking two streets, he still didn't see a horse with saddle stirrups.
"There is no perfect thing in the world." Ruibo said to himself in a dark tone. He walked into the shadow and looked at the invisible magic that no one quietly removed from the body.
He took off the blood-stained glove in his right hand and put it in his pocket. Ruibo pulled out the dagger. For him, what he needed most now was a horse.
Walking towards the carriage parked beside him, the owner of the carriage poked his head out of the window, and it seemed that he was a businessman, and the gentleman was obviously hesitating to move forward.
Ruibo walked straight towards him, puzzled him, and even more puzzled him, the young man who was only wearing a shirt and a leather vest in early spring said, "I'm sorry, borrow your horse" and cut off the leather rope that tied the horse with one knife.
The carriage driver originally planned to stop him, but the merchant told the carriage driver not to act rashly. He was indeed a smart person and had begun to guess the identity of the noble boy in front of him.
In fact, Ruibo was originally an eye-catching figure, wearing only one shirt, with blood on his right arm and the cuffs of his shirt full of blood, which was unique enough, and Ruibo's expression seemed as if the blood was just some special decoration or embellishment.
Ruibo cut off the rein that looked too long, and then tied a knot after trying the length. The remaining leather ropes also tied a knot around the horse's neck, and the two lowered rope heads each formed a lock.
All of this was taught to him by Kelle, a horse can be without a saddle but absolutely cannot be without stirrups.
Ruibo jumped onto his horse and was about to gallop in the distance.
"Earl Medin, if you are convenient, I hope to be lucky enough to visit you again." The merchant said respectfully.
Ruibo's answer was just nodding, but it was enough to excite the businessman. He had made up his mind to take advantage of this god-given opportunity.
...
On another street in Frank, the fierce battle has come to an end.
Since the Marquis Dehuina's residence was attacked by the joint forces of the escort of the Legal Affairs Office and the Paladins a few months ago, everyone in the capital knew that the mansions of wealthy and nobles were no longer safe places that no one dared to touch.
But no one expected that the Marquis of Pocharli's mansion would be attacked.
After all, Marquis Pocharli is different from Marquis Dehuina. Not only is he quite powerful in the palace and the Elders' House, but he has a kinship with His Majesty the Queen, so he has always been a popular person in front of His Majesty the King.
In fact, when the guards rushed into the Marquis of Pocharli, most people thought that this was a bandit made up of a guard. At least their leader was indeed a bandit, not an official who served in the Legal Affairs Office.
When Kelle rushed into the Marquis of Pocharlis's mansion, a grand dance was being held inside.
In addition to members of the Boshalli family and those with whom he was close to, several powerful figures were present.
Because of this, when the guards were seen breaking into the hall, one of the prominent figures working in the military even drew out his sword to show his courage and prestige that no one could reach.
In most cases, this does work because it is really hard to hurt an important person like him, which can cause great trouble for anyone.
It’s a pity that he unfortunately met Kelle this time.
The sword light flashed, and a thin thorn sword penetrated the gentleman's throat. This accident not only panicked the nobles, but even the guards who followed Kelle into the Marquis of Pocharli's mansion were scared and worried.
The only person who disagrees with this is Keller, the killer king, who commands the guards to occupy every place in the mansion.
Kelle himself ran towards the back garden first. He didn't like this job. As a killer, he should hide in the darkness in the corner, rather than rushing to the front like he is now. This is the job of a knight or a warrior.
In the back garden is an isolated and towering building, which is the "warrior's long sword" mentioned in the mysterious message that exposes Romer's whereabouts.
Kyle had to admit that this small building was indeed like a sword, it was built very high, just like a tower.
However, compared with the tower, this small building is much more exquisite. The surrounding windows are spliced with exquisite stained glass, and the appearance is covered with various exquisite sculptures.
Suddenly, more than a dozen arrows shot out from the small building. Their target was Kelle, who was at the forefront of the team.
Ed was seriously injured in this situation, but for a master like Kelle, these missing arrows do not pose a threat at all.
He immediately retreated behind a big tree and gently pushed away the missing arrows that might threaten him.
The second round of dense arrows shot at the place where Kyle was hiding, and arrows were deeply nailed into the trees.
Those killers hiding in the dark and making cold arrows never thought that the King of Killers was no longer there.
At the top of the canopy, a place where the branches and leaves are lush and the sun cannot penetrate, the Killer King hid in this shadow.
He already knew where every guard was hiding, and suddenly he jumped into the exquisite yet expensive stained glass window.
Before the killers guarding this floor could react, Kelle's long sword and dagger had already begun to drink the taste of blood.
The building still seemed so calm, except for the sound of glass shattering just now, there was no sound coming from it.
The escort of the Legal Affairs Bureau hid in a safe corner. The loss of arrows just now did not cause any harm to Keller, but several unfortunate members of the escort were injured in the loss.
