Chapter 61: Assassination
It was only then that a thought flashed through Regner's head like an electric flash. He finally understood that something was wrong.
It's too cold, yes, it's too cold. Although this Rati looks very lively and enthusiastic, her eyes are not right, her eyes are so calm, not at all as excited and excited as she appears. From the beginning, Ragner had a vague sense that there was something wrong with Ratty, but it was only now that he fully understood.
The reason why Latty chatted with herself so startled was just to interfere with herself, in case she stopped her from making a move. After all, Regner is the top four in this competition, and he is so close to Ratty. If one is unlucky, Regner will most likely stop Ratty's raid.
And now, it seems, Ratty's plan has succeeded. Regner had apparently had time to react to the sudden turn of events. At this time, Ratty's dagger was only a dozen centimeters away from Ralvin's throat.
But the ruler of the Hawke Empire showed amazing determination at this time, and he just looked coldly at the approaching assassin without showing any fear or panic.
"I've done my job!Brother, you don't have to take any more risks!" a smile tugged at the corners of Ratty's mouth, she hadn't planned to return alive when she came here. But she doesn't want to die so meaninglessly, she must complete her mission before she dies, assassinating Ralvin, the king of the Hawke Empire.
But in the next second, her smile froze as a powerful hand gripped her wrist tightly, preventing her dagger from getting even a millimeter inch.
It was the skinny man next to Ralvin. Because he is too ordinary and ordinary, most people ignore his existence. And now, he blocked Ratty's thunderous blow before everyone had time to react.
Ratty's wrists were pinched to death, and through a brief battle of strength, she knew that she could not outmaneuver the skinny man in terms of strength. So she was ready to burst out of her fighting spirit, at such a close distance, the fighting spirit could also cause fatal damage to Ralvin, who didn't have any strength.
But her second plan also fell through, as the skinny man saw her intentions. Before she could stimulate her fighting spirit, the thin man took the lead in infusing Latty's wrist with his own fighting energy, and they blocked Ratti's body veins, making it impossible for her to successfully stimulate her fighting spirit.
Immediately afterward, Joffrey reacted. Without hesitation, he threw a human immobilization technique at the skinny girl. Then the guards suddenly rushed out and firmly subdued her to the ground.
"I said, how could Harden not take advantage of this opportunity to try and kill me. Although his life was hanging by a thread just now, Ralvin the Great's voice still sounded calm and calm. It is clear that the king of the Hawke Empire did not pay attention to such a small scene.
"Your identity. Joffrey asked, standing up and looking down.
"If you've already guessed it, why bother asking?" said Ratti coldly, trying her best to hide it, but there was still a little fear in her eyes. She is a dead soldier trained by the Stoke Empire, and is a one-time consumable. So this was actually her first and last mission, and despite all the training, she was still terrified when death did come.
"Who else is in the Hawke Empire besides you?" asked Joffrey.
"I don't know. Ratty replied that she was just a dead man, how could she know so many things?
"No, you'll know. Joffrey began to cast a spell and chant a spell, and in a few moments, a dissociation technique took shape in the palm of his hand.
"I'm sure even if you're an assassin you've heard of the famous Dissociation Technique, don't you, don't worry, I'm not going to kill you outright, you'll be watching your limbs break down into turquoise crystals and then turn into detritus scattered everywhere. Oh, you can't imagine how beautiful that scene is. ”
"You...... Kill me!I really don't know anything!" Ratty's voice trembled a little.
"I've got to give it a try. Joffrey said. He knew that the Assassin was telling the truth, but he just wanted to enjoy the pleasure of the enemy's screams. Also, controlling dissociation to partially disassemble limbs requires a lot of magical manipulation. Others don't understand its difficulties, but Annelot doesn't. He had the heart to show it in front of Annelot.
Joffrey glanced at Ratty's frightened little face, then slowly extended his right hand.
The light of dissociation shot at Ratty's left arm under Joffrey's control. The poor girl's body began to fly rapidly under the light of that ray, turning from flesh and blood into turquoise crystals.
Ratty let out a heart-rending scream as she felt every cell in her left arm be pricked by a hot needle. Dissociation is a magic that uses magic to change the basic properties of matter, and the pain is unimaginable.
"How's that? Do you want to be broken down with your left leg or your right leg first?" Joffrey smiled elegantly.
"Kill me, kill me, I really don't know anything!" said to Joffrey in a tone that had been crisp and crisp, and was now hoarse, almost pleading.
"If you don't ask anything, I'm not going to let you die easily, come, let's continue. Joffrey said as he raised his hand again.
"Damn!" Regner couldn't stand it anymore, though he had tortured and killed Heradik's disciple Nebil in a state of madness. But he was more of an outrage at the time. And now Joffrey and Ratty don't have any hatred at all, he is completely enjoying the perverted pleasure of abusing and killing others, which makes Regner feel very disgusted.
"It's useless. Kordak was also clearly unhappy with Joffrey's approach, but he still stepped in to stop Regna, who was about to come forward. He said: "This is the Hawke Empire, this is the Imperial Palace, and there are few people who can stop Joffrey from doing whatever he wants." ”
"......" Regner looked at Kordak speechlessly, he knew that Kordak was telling the truth, but he was very unwilling.
Despite the pretence, Regner still had a little affection for Ratty's enthusiastic and lively performance at the time. And now she was only bent on death, but Joffrey could not even satisfy her humble and even lowly wish. She won't die easily, she will watch her body crystallize little by little before she dies, and turn into crumbs little by little.
Seeing such a petite and weak girl suffering inhuman torture here, Regner also accumulated a lot of anger in his heart. But even if he was furious, he still couldn't do anything.
Could he be mad here? This is a palace, not a country town, not a downtown tavern, and if he dares to do anything here, he will be subdued in a minute. Therefore, he was very unwilling. It was only at this time that he understood the importance of power and power.
Ralvin is just a fat man without any power, but because he is the highest ruler in the Northern Continent, he can call the wind and rain, and a word can decide a person's life and death.
And strength, that's even more important! If he can have the strength of Clayton, he can stand here and say that he wants to keep this girl. Even Ralvin the Great probably wouldn't dare to refute his face.
Gradually, Regner's state of mind changed slightly. If he had previously sought power and power because of Annelot's words, now Ragner is almost instinctively craving it.
If there was strength, Erin wouldn't have suffered so much, if there was strength, Selenos, Minnie Mouse and Jarhardt wouldn't have died, if there was strength, they wouldn't have been forced to flee to Chino, and if there was strength, he would have been able to stop all this unwanted things from happening before his eyes.
Power, power. If you have them, you can have everything! But now Regner is still weak, too weak!
By this time, Joffrey had dissociated Ratty's left leg, and his originally fair skin had turned into crystals under the effect of magic, and then shattered and turned into dust. And the joints of the broken limbs were just smooth and smooth, and blood was gurgling out, staining the originally red carpet into a deep red.
"I'm sorry, I'm too weak to help you now......" Regner couldn't help but say silently in his heart as he listened to Ratty's screams. He couldn't imagine how he would feel if someone close to him was going through this experience, but he didn't want to see that kind of picture anyway. So, if he wants to be strong, he must be strong!
The extreme cold spread in the room, it was a sudden cold, more than minus 30 degrees, and everyone shivered because of the sudden drop in temperature. But before anyone could figure out what was happening, the temperature returned to its original state in a matter of seconds, as if the low temperature had never happened.
The only proof of its existence was the thin layer of ice on Ralvin's teacup.
"What just happened?" everyone was startled by the strange scene.
"Who's doing it?!" Joffrey immediately became angry, probably because of the low temperature just now, Ratty died before he could torture enough. He pointed to Ragner, who was not far from Ratti, and asked, "Did you do that?"
"It's not me, I didn't move just now, they can prove it. Regner said coldly that Joffrey had given him such a bad impression that he didn't bother to add any more honorifics. After saying that, Regner glanced at Anne Lot as if inadvertently, and then noticed that the Frost Maiden's face was pale at this time, as if she had suddenly consumed a lot of strength.
