On the eve of dawn, the sky has just surfaced the white of the fish's belly, the dark blue night is gradually fading, the stars are slowly fading, the mountain scenery of Majaro Mountain in the distance is immersed in the night as thick as ink, the night sky seems to have a magical hand, little by little the night is wiped into day, and the street lamps on both sides of the street are extinguished one after another.At this time, people are still immersed in sleep, deep sleep, with the rising sun, this city can not see the edge of the city little by little wake.I suddenly woke up from the couch and felt like a pair of cold eyes were watching me from afar, the figure of that person hiding on a roof somewhere behind the fog, the immersive danger, like a shackle around my body, making it impossible for me to breathe.I felt a strong killing intent lock me in from a long distance, it was a strange and familiar feeling, it was like someone had dipped me in cold water, I tried to open my mouth and shout and struggle, but I couldn't make any sound.The crisp sound of horseshoe bells on the street outside woke me up from my sleep, and I felt like I had a nightmare, and I broke out in a slimy cold sweat.Her muscles tensed, she jumped up from the sofa like a great enemy, jumped up like a female leopard to the window, stared at the window like a great enemy, and rushed out of the courtyard with a black light and shadow as if she were facing a great enemy, wrapped in black robes, as light as the wind.If it weren't for the neighing of the scaly horses outside the courtyard, I'm afraid I would have been killed by him in his sleep, there is this kind of person who can be trapped in a dream when he falls into a deep sleep and can't wake up, and then use means to kill people, this is the assassination skill of the oldest inheritance dream maker among the assassins, I didn't expect that one day, I would actually meet me.Had it not been for the gentle sound of horseshoe bells that woke me up, perhaps Karantso and I would have died at the hands of this Nightmare Assassin.Thinking of this, a cool breeze came out of my spine.I pulled the silver barrel gun out of my magic fanny pack, got up from the couch, and rushed out with a lunge, my thighs still tingling slightly, but I didn't care about it, pushed open the door and chased it out.By this time, the black figure had rushed into the street.A cloud of white light rushed straight towards the fleeing black shadow, and in the white light was a knight in silver armor, with a knight's shield in front of him and a crusader sword in the other hand.Like a wall, it directly blocked the path of the black shadow.I have even felt the collision between the two people in the next second, of course, the knight wearing the metal armor and holding the shield has a great advantage, if the knight in the silver armor is charged and hit solidly, the black shadow is likely to be directly knocked away.Karantso stood in the doorway, drawing his bow, the feathered arrow already locked onto the man in black.I stopped, picked up the silver spear in my hand, the trajectory appeared clearly in my eyes, just waiting for the silver-armored knight wrapped in white light to stop the black-clothed assassin, I shot but just when the white light of the knight just touched the corner of the black-clothed assassin's clothes, the black-clothed assassin turned into a wisp of black mist and floated in the air, and the silver-armored knight suddenly jumped into the air, standing in place a little stunned, waving the crusade sword in his hand angrily, looking around, I want to find the man in black who is hiding in the shadows.I was desperate to catch the assassin who was hiding in the dark, and I knew that this kind of concealment technique was the most taboo for range spell damage.Carried away by hatred for a while, he didn't care so much at all, he directly took out a Frost Nova scroll from his backpack, quickly recited a spell in his mouth, and then unfolded the scroll in his hand, and smashed the scroll directly at the feet of the Silver Armor Knight, the light blue pattern circle continued to expand on the way to the scroll flying, and those magic runes emitted brilliant colors in the air.I didn't even look the knight head-on, and a shield of ice condensed in front of him, blocking his whole body.All the talismans on the magic scroll were revealed, and countless water-based magic elements were rapidly condensed in the air, and then the air suddenly became cold, as if all the air was sucked into the subdimensional space by the scroll, and all the air around it was rapidly condensed towards the magic scroll, and in the next second, it seemed that everything was going to stand still.A huge ring of ice emerged from the magic pattern circle released by the scroll and spread out in an unstoppable force, freezing all obstacles it could come across into ice.The man in black was dangling in mid-air like a big bird, frozen by the Frost Nova.Karantso's bow was one step ahead of me, and with a bang, he shot a feathered arrow, and only a flickering shadow could be seen in the air, and it was difficult for his eyes to chase the arrow in the gallop.Immediately after, the gun in my hand also slammed, and a tongue of fire spat out, and the projectile with the weapon of the tongue of fire spun rapidly, shooting at the man in black who turned into a lump of ice sculpture in the air, and the arrow hit the man in black in the ice that fell from the air without hindrance, and the feather arrow was deeply nailed into the ice, and the ice was covered with cracks.I had a bad feeling in my heart.The lead pellet then shot into the ice as well, and the flame power of the flame tongue weapon exploded directly on the surface of the ice, shattering the ice to the ground.A humanoid puppet emerged from the ice and fell to the ground with a snap, shattering in pieces, with countless delicate magic talismans engraved on the puppet.The puppet had a feathered arrow stuck in its chest, and there was a black hole shot out of a lead pellet in the center of its head, and the magic power on the entire puppet's body was passing rapidly, and those magic talismans gradually dimmed.The stand-in doll, the most famous magic item in the Orionna Magic Golem Shop, in addition to the magic prosthetics: it can block magic damage of the same level or less for the user.However, this kind of magic prop is also notoriously expensive, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford, and its value is definitely no less than a first-level magic pattern construction.You must know that the average small aristocratic family, if they have a set of magic pattern structure, it can be passed down from generation to generation, and that set of magic pattern structure is also a rich property.I don't know, what kind of rich people can use this kind of incomparably expensive stand-in puppets without any scruples, I have known about this extremely extravagant magic item for a long time, and I have also stopped to watch and admire it from a distance in the store, of course, I can't see anything at such a distance, and now there is such a damaged stand-in puppet, I don't want to waste it, I quickly picked them up from the ground, and quickly put them into the magic waist bag.Louis, who was dressed in silver armor, only then did he smash the ice shield blocking in front of him with a sword, and then stepped forward.When I saw that the person who came to help was Louis, it dawned on me that he must have come from Emerald Bay with the wagons loaded with supplies, but I didn't expect him to come unexpectedly and save me and Karantso, and I thought to myself: Fortunately, he was able to come in person, it seems that the assassin was very afraid of him.Louis snorted coldly, "Chase!"
”At this time, his face was gloomy as if he was about to kill someone, and he casually threw aside the knight's shield in his hand, turned and ran desperately towards the convoy.I really don't know how much hatred the man in black has against him, but speaking of which, I should hate the man in black even more!
I stood behind him, watching him stride towards the convoy in a bit of a daze, and thought to myself: he really has a jealous and hateful character."
Go to the roof, he's over there!"
Karantso whispered to me, her eyes fixed on the house diagonally across the street.I also seemed to feel that faint killing intent, and without any hesitation, I ran directly to my house.Kalantso clung to my back, and we rushed out the door in tacit agreement, and after two or three steps forward, Karantso raised his foot on the windowsill, and touched the eaves with his other hand, and climbed the ridge like a civet.I didn't have the same great bounce as Karantso, so I had to climb up from the windowsill of the house, but luckily I used to climb the tall thunder rhino as a child, and I didn't completely forget those tricks.Although the movements are a little indecent, they can be regarded as climbing the roof with dexterity.I gasped slightly, my silver spear in my hand, my eyes piercing through the fog to find the Assassin who had just watched me from the other side of the roof.I only saw that in the faint fog in the distance, a faint killing intent receded like a tide, a tall man in black, his whole body was wrapped in gray bandages, and one of his eyes glowed faintly red in the fog, he saw that I was holding a silver barreled gun, and the front sight of the muzzle was already aimed at him, without any hesitation, he jumped directly from the roof and disappeared between the courtyards.Before I could put the gun down, the shadow flashed out from behind the ridge again, and after a few bounces, it disappeared into the fog.I remember coming out of that elven tavern yesterday when I felt watched, and in retrospect, maybe it was the assassin who had escaped into the fog.Karantso wanted to chase after him, but was quickly grabbed by my eyes, and then said: "Forget it, don't chase it, you are not familiar with the environment here in the imperial capital." ”I asked Karantso, "You saw him, didn't you?"
”Karantso nodded, and said a little strangely: "Very strange assassin, I didn't even notice him approaching, I am an orc of the wolf clan, the most sensitive tribe in the orc tribe!"
”"He used a special method to make us fall asleep, according to the old magic books in the magic academy, this is a very old assassination professional dreamer."
I explained to Karantso the origin of this profession and the magical skills that he was good at.Finally, as soon as the voice changed, I said to her, "But why do I think that the man in black who appeared in the back and the one in front are not the same person at all?"
”"I smell a familiar smell from the assassin in the back, I can smell the orcs, but unfortunately it's not the wolf orcs, I can feel it."
Karantso said to me again, "Call Ruka back from the botanical garden in the Water System Ecological Garden, you need a warrior by your side to protect you." ”"Let me think again!"
I said to Karantso.At this time, there was a neighing of horses on the street, and a tall knight in delicate silver scale armor rode on the horse, and the whip threw a very loud whip whistle in the air, and the horse carried the knight, turned into a meteor and chased after the black shadow in the mist, and it was Louis who returned to the convoy, and he rode a war horse, brandished the whip, and chased down the long street.Affiliated with the Royal Knights of the Gripen, Louis was an excellent Janissary knight who was a superb horseman.The horse let go of its hooves and galloped over the low bush wall, and disappeared at the corner of the street in an instant, and several of Louis's followers, like a whirlwind, rode after him, probably fearing that Louis had made a mistake.There were five magic caravans loaded with goods parked in the street, with bags of wheat flour neatly arranged, and another wagon with cotton cloth and twine, and I didn't expect them to come so early.There was a royal in each carriage, and Bard stood at the front of the convoy, and although his face was a little unsightly, he pretended to be calm and stood on both sides of the magic caravan with a group of knights, looking calm.The knights did not panic because of the sudden incident, they stood on both sides of the convoy, stood up straight, no one dared to talk to each other, each knight remained vigilant, silently watching the situation around him, as if facing a great enemy.I slid down the ridge and down the tiles.Karantso was standing under the eaves, and she took the opportunity to reach out and catch me as I fell.I pressed against her face, fell into her soft arms, and hit her soft snowy peaks, and she snorted softly, her face flushed slightly, and quickly pushed me away.Fortunately, Bard had already walked into the street with a shy stomach at this time, which relieved our ambiguity and embarrassment.His leather boots stomped heavily on the lawn in the yard, and the grass clippings kept rising back along the heels of his shoes, and when he saw Karantso, Bard's eyes flashed with amazement, and he walked up humbly, and then said very kindly: "Baron Giga, all the supplies you have on the list of needs are ready, do you need to help them transport them into the house?"
”I gestured with my hand and said, "Yes, before that, please help me move out the elementary magic herbs from the underground storage room, which I promised to Prince Louis." ”"It's an honor to serve you!"
As Bard spoke, his posture was very low, and he said with a smile when he heard me ask them to carry the medicine first."
But speaking of which, Louis went after the assassin and we stayed here, is it really okay?"
I frowned, and then looked at the corner of the long street, where Louis had disappeared, and there was no news yet, I asked anxiously.
