The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.

At the end of the day's hustle and bustle, the city of plenty ushered in its quietest hour, and old Henry's tavern was still lit with kerosene lamps.

Henry, Clifford, Renard, Miss Heidi, and their close friends are having fun in the private room.

At the wine table, several young noble children were drinking fruit wine heroically, glass after glass, and Du Renard was a little dizzy.

"Mr. Renard, I would like to give you a glass. A plump aristomy lady raised her glass to him, and without waiting for a response, she threw her head up and did the same.

Renard really wanted to say that he was not strong enough to drink, but he couldn't stand the encouragement of Cleaver next to him: "Drink, it's rare for old Henry to be so generous, and there is no such shop in this village." ”

As he spoke, Cliffor drank directly from the barrel cow, and the luscious liquor poured out, soaking his ugly beard.

Although it was just a cheap fruit wine after all, it couldn't stand him so badly, and the old Henry was very distressed: "You leave me some, I still have to live." ”

The humble drinking party lasted until two o'clock in the morning, and the children of the nobles were helped into the carriage by the servants and left: "Thunder...... Belch...... Goodbye, Mr. Renard. ”

"Goodbye!" Reynard forced a smile in response, and it was not until the other party was far away that he breathed a deep sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Miss Heidi, and asked, "Miss Heidi, I'll send you home." ”

"No!" Miss Heidi shook her head, still looking drunk.

In the middle of the night, the streets and alleys were silent, and the occasional rooster and dog barking soon fell silent.

The current city of abundance is like a deep ancient well, and the waves are not alarmed.

When everything was silent, a jumble of footsteps suddenly sounded in one of the alleys leading to the tavern, and as the footsteps got closer and closer, several figures gradually became clear in the dim moonlight.

The figure is like a ghost in the night, walking in a hurry.

However, it is strange that they always walk through the streets and alleys, unwilling to walk on open roads, and when they encounter patrolling guards, they will carefully hide their figures in the dark, which is obviously very abnormal.

"Our target this time is just a high-level martial artist?" On the night road, a certain figure suddenly asked in a low voice, although they hid in the pitch-black cloak and couldn't see their faces, but judging from the tone, the other party's face was not good-looking at this time.

"Not only a high-ranking martial artist, but also the pearl of the city of plenty, the beautiful Miss Heidi. The other figure lowered his voice, his tone full of banter, and a little cruel when he listened closely.

"By the way, I picked up a low-level martial artist worth two hundred gold coins. Then someone added.

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and the black-robed man who took the lead suddenly stopped and reminded in a stern tone: "If you touch that kid, no one is allowed to touch him." ”

"Why, the legendary sniper is also afraid?" a black-robed man sneered without hesitation: "If you are afraid, go back, we can just get an extra penny, a full two hundred gold coins, enough for us to live happily for half our lives." ”

Sniper, the ninety-fourth killer on the list of the Killer Branch of Nanhuang County, don't look at the bottom of the ranking, but those who can enter this list are murderers who kill without blinking.

"Happy?" The black-robed man known as a sniper snorted coldly: "Don't think that I don't know who you are if you hide it tightly, lame wolf, if you want to keep your life and be happy, dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”

Cripple wolf, the eighty-eighth killer on the ranking of the Southern Wilderness County Killer Branch, is still above the sniper.

"Alright, shut up all of them, I'm not here to quarrel with you. A black-robed man took off his hood and showed a gloomy face: "Don't forget that you took my money." ”

If a resident of the City of Plenty passed by, they would surely recognize this man - Bullard, the tax collector.

Now the infamous tax officer was staring at the figures in front of him with a cold face, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of warning.

"Don't worry, we will definitely get things done after we collect the money, there is no need to put on a bad face. The sniper snorted coldly, and then said solemnly: "Hurry up and cover your face, the target is getting closer and closer to us, ready to move at any time." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately covered their entire faces with their hoods, revealing only sharp bloodthirsty eyes, and even Brad had to follow the instructions of the other party and re-use his cloak to cover his fat figure.

Going around and around, several black-robed people came to the outside of Old Henry's tavern, and the lame wolf showed a grim smile on his face, and said, "Your task has been completed, and the rest will be left to us, go back and wait for good news." ”

Even though his eyes were covered by the hood, Brad clearly felt a fierce gaze staring at him, and he couldn't help but shudder: "I wish you success." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the alley without hesitation, mingling with these murderers, every second seemed like torment.

"It's up to us next. The lame wolf laughed twice, and the two daggers were already in the palm of his hand.

The sniper was very cautious, his eyes swept over the seven people in front of him, and said: "It is estimated that there are two fighting martial artists around the other party to protect them, all of them should be careful, don't plant in this puddle." ”

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. The lame wolf was still nonchalant.

After all, there are eight of them, all of them are the top existences among high-level martial artists, experienced in a hundred battles, good at assassination and sneak attacks, even if they face two fighting martial artists, they can contain them for a while.

Unbeknownst to them, however, their whereabouts had already been locked.

Miss Heidi stood in the attic not far from the tavern, looking at the scene through the round glass window, her eyes full of disdain: "Father, I think you have seen it. ”

"Hmm!" Count Steven nodded expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a brief silence, Miss Heidi asked, "What's next?"

"Wait. "Earl Steven was in no hurry to make a decision, and the calmness he showed was chilling.

Renard stood beside the other party, feeling the heavy pressure like a mountain, the double pressure from the strong and the powerful, even if the other party was about to die, but he was still an old lion, and he could not tolerate hyena provocation.

Cleaver and Fat Henry's expressions were constantly changing, they thought that the lord had long been unconscious, but now when they saw it, they found that contrary to their own suspicions, they were shocked and nervous at the same time.

Earl Steven has already chosen an heir, and they are still sparing no effort to support Miss Heidi in her struggle for the lordship, which is simply provoking the authority of the other party, if the other party is angry, they will definitely not be opponents.

The atmosphere gradually became depressed as time passed, and just when everyone was about to hold on, Earl Steven suddenly spoke: "Cleaver, you take a few people to keep an eye on them, and the others will go back with me." ”
