The old man's name is Delai Fulvarton, level 9, and his skill is "Assassination 9".

The pillar of the Star Maple Kingdom, a legendary assassin. When he was young, he was stealthy, good at tricks, and could do anything for money. And the most frightening thing is that his research on killing has reached a new level.

.

Very few people can escape his assassination. He even openly assassinated high-ranking officials of the empire and succeeded. However, that time he suffered extremely horrific revenge and was forced into desperation by several imperial military marshals. In the end, the Xingfeng royal family chose to shelter him.

He, and he also became the pillar of the Xingfeng Kingdom.

The royal families or grand dukes of various kingdoms and principalities may not be as powerful as the empire, but they still have their political influence, which is enough to influence certain decisions of the empire. Besides, the person who died was only a high-ranking official, not a nobleman, so the Xingfeng royal family successfully protected Delai.

Obtaining his allegiance, he is the sharp blade of the Star Spun Kingdom in the shadows. It is precisely because of his existence that Xing Feng almost no longer maintains the loyalty of the local nobles. As long as anyone has disloyal intentions, he will soon be killed the next day.

He will die in his own bed, and he is almost unstoppable on the assassination route.

But now, it doesn't make any sense.

The old man, who had lived his whole life in the dark night, looked at the man in black robe in front of him and did not dare to make any move at all.

They were both level 9, but the moment they met, they already felt the difference.

The other person seemed to have a certain gentle temperament, but his eyes seemed to be burning with cold flames. Facing him was like facing a demon coming out of a fairy tale. His body shone with awe-inspiring aura that made it impossible to look directly at him.

, anyone will naturally bow their head to it and find it difficult to resist.

Freezing pressure spread around Delai. The man in black robe didn't look at him at all. He just said a casual word here and then controlled the mummies to start a massacre in the city.

No gang members, guards, officials, church ministers or knights were spared.

But even if the opponent lets go of protection at will in front of him, none of the 29 high-level magic daggers he has hidden on his body dares to show his face.

The killer's intuition told him that he must not take any action, otherwise it would be a battle to the death. He might be able to hold on for a day, or maybe two days, but he would definitely die in the end.

In the aristocratic area of ​​the inner city, Livia alone blocked the imperial army. At the same time, thousands of armored men poured out from the forging area.

They quickly began to stabilize the situation, shelter civilians, secure public property, and record people's demands.

Soon, the female knight whom Delai didn't like very much killed all the guards in the inner city and walked into the palace. She should have gone to greet the shivering king. As for the person who could stop her, he had already been beaten by the people in front of him.

The man in black robe turned into a mummy.

In just half an hour, everything was over. Delai can guarantee that even the farm ten kilometers away has not received any news until now, and everything has been kept secret.

This is the ultimate assassination, an assassination of a country, perfect, precise, and well planned.

I'm afraid everything was planned by the man in black robe in front of me.

After seeing the female knight walking into the inner city, the man in black robes moved his hands like he was conducting a symphony orchestra, and the mummies began to move quickly, and finally, they all gathered here.

here we go.

The old killer understood this.

——————————

Lu En solved everything. It wasn't really difficult. He just made arrangements a few hours in advance.

How terrifying can a mage who is prepared and planned in advance be?

Now is an example. The enhanced magic circle built in advance is stepping on the soles of his feet. All magic can be greatly increased. More than 3,000 secret eyes have been placed in every corner of the city. Nothing can be hidden.

His perception, of course, if it exists, is called a variable and cannot be guarded against.

Compared with the Empire, the power of the kingdoms is indeed not very good. Indeed, together they have so many Level 9s, a large population, and good resources, but they can only become the dumping ground of the Empire, and the people here are also the most vulnerable.

Bitterness is the hardest.

Since Livia has this idea, let her try it.

Supporting a puppet king is a very risky thing. Not to mention the possible backlash of this king in the future, it is just the need to suppress all the vassals and rule the entire kingdom, plus the political pressure that may be encountered and the distrust of foreign countries.

, the cold treatment of the new king needs to be handled well, otherwise the new king will not last long and will be overthrown by other forces.

But he decided to leave this matter to Livia as a backup.

"Okay, the things here have been dealt with, shall we talk?" Lu En raised his hand, and a stone pillar for sitting rose up from the ground. He sat on it and extended his hand to invite the other party to sit down too.

Delai sat down, and after calming down, he said calmly: "With this kind of handwriting, this image... Your Excellency should be Count Anluo, who has become famous in the imperial capital recently, right?"

"It's me." Lu En nodded with a gentle smile.

"Why would you do such a thing? Does the Xingfeng royal family have any grudge against you?" Delai was puzzled.

"Isn't it true? Wasn't it because the Xingfeng royal family took advantage of the Demon King's City and rushed directly into it, which ultimately led to the destruction of decades of my hard work." Lu En looked at the other party and replied in a soft tone.

"But is it really okay to massacre the entire city like this? You will become a public enemy, and everyone in the kingdom will be in danger, for fear... Your Excellency, what do you think?" Delai tried to say something, but midway through his words, he saw

Lu En waved his hand, then he calmly stopped and waited for the answer from the King of Monsters.

"This is not a massacre, this is a coup." Lu En said with a smile: "If it was a massacre, you would die quietly. Believe me, I can definitely do this."

"Coup? Who is it?" Delai frowned.

"Your Highness the Fourteenth Prince, he paid enough to please touch me." Lu En blinked.

"Your Excellency is the border count of the empire. The resources you have far exceed those of an unpopular prince. I don't believe he has a price that can impress you." De Lai did not believe this statement.

"He does, but you don't know it yet." Lu En did not explain too much: "Of course, I don't need to explain too much to you. I have only one purpose for you to talk here."

"Please speak." Delai remained humble enough.

"I give you two choices. The first one is that you continue to be the pillar of your Star Maple Kingdom. As a level 9, provide the kingdom with the necessary high-end power, enjoy your original luxurious life, and still be loyal to the king.

The king solves some troublesome matters."

"Second, death, of course, will be very pleasant, without any feeling. I never like torturing people, and I promise, I won't use your body for anything else. In fact, I don't like the undead very much either.

Spell."

"How about, which one do you choose?"

Lu En still had that gentle look and smile, as if he was talking about what to drink for afternoon tea.

"Of course it's the first one." De Lai didn't hesitate. He didn't stay in Star Maple King City for anything else. It was just to have a royal family to protect him, and to enjoy life and be extravagant. Otherwise, why would he be here?

As a level 9, he knew that his path was cut off, because he used the art of killing to advance to level 9. Through continuous assassinations, he studied the methods of killing, constantly improved his efficiency and artistry, and challenged more difficult assassinations.

Finally, when he was at level 8, he set his target for promotion opportunities with a high-ranking imperial official, the deputy governor of Madu Province, who only had an official position but no title.

He spent a lot of energy investigating the high-ranking official's every move, became a servant, and worked in the high-ranking official's mansion for one year and two months, and found out all his interpersonal relationships, habits, life hobbies, and fixed schedules.

In the end, he still waited patiently for six years, planned and arranged a perfect assassination plan, and then followed the plan to create a gap for the opponent's guards to temporarily go out. He seized the opportunity and succeeded in the assassination in one fell swoop, and then used the retreat route that had been arranged long ago.

He immediately fled thousands of miles away and fled outside the empire.

A level 9 military officer and three level 8 members of the deputy governor's family immediately began to hunt, but he had already arranged everything. This long-planned assassination directly promoted him to level 9. According to the arrangement,

As a way out, he became the pillar of the Xingfeng Kingdom.

This status, coupled with the fact that he had been promoted to level 9 and had combat skills, made the empire give up the pursuit of him. The cost of pursuing level 9 was too high.

But after he was promoted, he discovered that although this path could reach level 9, there was no possibility of going any further. He was far from understanding the true meaning of killing and made the assassination superficial.

Therefore, with his future already cut off, he didn't expect anything else. He just thought that he could live a good life in the future and use his own strength to become a master. That was enough. He didn't even take action when he thought Lu En was massacring the city.

, enough to prove his choice.

De Lai doesn't need to consider Lu En's request at all. As long as his life remains unchanged in the future, it doesn't matter who becomes the king?

"Very good." Lu En nodded.

"By the way... Your Excellency, may I ask, why do you trust me? Even though the female knight of the Empire is very strong at level 8, I'm afraid she is still no match for me. If you leave me here, if someone comes in the future,

If you bribed me, killed the king and her, and regained power, wouldn't your arrangement today mean that it is gone?" Delai still didn't want to believe that the good-for-nothing prince could bribe such a big shot, so he asked again.

Just kidding, Magic 9! Count Anluo of the empire, the king of monsters, has a level 9 ancient dragon under his command. He is the leader of a new political party in the empire. More than 30 monster races are nominally under his control. Where is this kind of existence?

Can a loser be hooked up with? Even the king of Xingfeng felt a little shorter when he saw this big shot.

After saying this, Lu En was stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment.

But he understood in the next second that this was the current situation.

Although Lu En always feels that he is not strong enough and needs to develop urgently, in fact, he is already one of the most powerful people in the world. There are probably not more than ten people who are stronger and more powerful than him.

Just count the few big nobles who are party leaders, such as the spokesperson of the landowning baron class and the leader of the Agrarian Party, Baron Sulk, or the number one figure of the Conservative Party, Duke Walder, the number two figure, Archduke Trela, the revolutionary aristocrats

The leader of the party was the Marquis de Vere, a series of parliaments of neutral parties.

Also, the leader of the imperial military, the nominal commander of all marshals, and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, Barron.

There is a pope on the church side, and of course there is the "current Grand Master" Gray Lady on the academic side.

And that high and mighty Emperor.

There may be some secret organizations that he doesn't know about, such as the lizard people, the necromancers of Alpha Planet, the Freemasonry, etc., but it is unlikely.

Apart from that, there is really no one who is more powerful than him.

This made him relieved, but he didn't say anything else. He just shook his head, saying that he was too lazy to explain.

"Now that you have made your choice, then go away. Your question is meaningless, and I don't care what you do. You are an adult and can do anything. Just bear the consequences." After he finished speaking, he stood up.

He picked up the cane, paused, and then disappeared in front of Delai.
