Verse 415: The Rhythm of Revenge IV.
"Ah...... All right. Marceau, still with the dagger in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and with the dagger in his hand, he dragged the butler's body behind the desk, and then dragged the hapless Monsieur Nathaniel to a chair and sat downβit was a difficult job, given the weight of Mr. Nathaniel, the fat man was heavy enough. Finally, sprinkle some powders that can neutralize the smell of blood, the sincerity of the alchemist, because of the sponsorship of Mr. Big Eyes, so Marceau is happy to spend money.
"Very well, how are we going to get out next. Big Eye had already changed out of his blood-stained leather robe at this time, put it away and threw it into the space bag, then put on another set of clothes, and then put on the mask.
"Go back the way you came, have you prepared what I asked you to prepare before. Marceau asked, walking to the door.
"Of course. "Mr. Big Eyes took out a crystal - this thing is a combination of master engineer and alchemist, it can record a person's voice, although it is only a few minutes, but it can be added or deleted by magic, so it is a very useful item, both aborigines and players, who like to use this thing instead of letters to show their wealth.
Marceau opened the door, and the big eyes triggered the play button, and from inside came a burst of Nathaniel's laughter, and then his voice rang out again: "Very good, this business is settled, you go back and tell your Chamber of Commerce that I am very interested in his goods!
This is what Marceau asked Big Eyes to find, and Big Eyes rummaged through all the communication crystals he had stored, and then cut out this section from them, because the sound quality of this thing was very good, so when Marceau walked out of the door, he could see the servants in the corridor looking at him, and then nodded respectfully.
So Marceau turned. After letting Bigeye out of the room, he bowed and closed the door.
Meow a mi, kill someone and pretend to be forced to leave, it feels so exciting, this round of assassination is impossible to be on the live broadcast, but Marceau feels that his assassination can definitely enter the TOP30 of the assassination monthly list. This is also money.
Downstairs, Marceau and Big Eye stopped in front of the side hall as they walked towards the door, because he saw Akemi and Minen, as well as a steppe elf woman standing in the side hall, waiting for him, the latter wearing Ashbi's court dress, but the original low-cut clothes had been changed to a high-necked outfit...... Well, this transformation is exclusive to clerical figures, and Akemi and Mineen wear it that way...... The girls are priests, it seems, because of a series of actions. The girls were well-received among the Anonymous Temple faction for a while.
"Good evening, Monsieur Marceau, I am Dini Shashaal, head of the Anonymous Church of Paroernst, and out of a responsible mind, I stand here waiting for your arrival. The woman gave a feminine dress to Marceau.
"Hello, Madame Dinini, is there anything wrong? Marceau asked, a little strangely.
"Your female companions, Akemi and Maeun. I was invited to this ball because Mr. Nathaniel has always been a big figure in the church's list of donors. Therefore...... You should understand, too, don't you. β
"So Mimita died...... It's dead, isn't it. Big-Eyes hurriedly replied, his words causing Dini to frown, "Mr. Big-Eye, why are you here!"
"Lady Dinini, you should know by some means that I work for the Vengeful God and Lady Ella, and it seems to me. You seem to be aware of the feud between Mr. Big-Eye and Mr. Nathaniel, so ......" Marceau said this, raising his left forearm and pointing the Hidden Arrow at Mrs. Dini - this way of aiming is not as imposing as raising your hand, but it is better to be able to turn and adjust at high speed and effectively, so when facing a priest whose rank cannot be determined. Marceau thinks this would be more effective: "You shouldn't try to betray us for the sake of your big patron." β
"If I say yes, do you want to kill me?" asked Madame Dini.
At this moment, Akemi and Minen unexpectedly pulled out their muskets from the musket pouch tied to their legs under their skirts, but not at Marceau, but at Madame Dini: "Madam, we respect you, but it is clear that you have no leverage for us to betray us. This was the elder sister's statement, and the younger sister's statement was even more powerful: "I'm sorry, but we sisters value the happiness and joy that Marceau brings us more than the glory you can give me...... I'm sorry, ma'am. β
"It's really two dead-eyed little girls, did I say that I would betray the little cat in front of me. Mrs. Dini smiled when she finished speaking: "Really, I swear by the name of the anonymous shepherd, I have not seen you at all today...... Okay, girl, you should be happy now, kitten, right? β
Marceau loosened the strings in his heart, and he lowered his hand: "I'm sorry, Madame Dini, I swore that all murderers would get their due. β
"I know, to be honest, I'm glad that at last a foreigner is willing to do this, there are very few natives who are willing to offend several nobles at the same time, but obviously you foreigners don't care......" Speaking of this, Diniini turned his head to look at Mingmei and Mingen beside him: "Okay, my girls, you have proved your loyalty to this kitten with your actions, are you really going to kill this old woman in front of you to please your little mistress." β
Minn glanced at Marceau, saw that the kitten cub nodded and motioned for the girls not to be so nervous, and then put away his weapon with his sister.
"Well, you go quickly, paper can't contain the fire after all, and I've heard that Tom Edgeworth, the big man, is going north tomorrow, so you'd better go and see him first. At this point, Mrs. Dinini went to the corridor and looked at the sides: "Nobody, come, lads and girls, come with me." β
So Marceau and the others followed the old lady through the corridor very simply, and Madame Dini patted a brick on the wall at the end of the corridor, and then Marceau and the others saw a secret door open, and from here it was the alley outside the courtyard of the mansion.
"Nathaniel's father once showed me this passage, and I remember how it opened, now go away, the night is still long. β
"Oh, I'm curious. Under what circumstances did you know about this secret passage? Mr. Big-Eyes complained again.
"Of course, when a man shows his charms, wealth and love to women, Nathaniel almost has to call me mother, after all, Duke Manan is a humorous and funny man, rich and powerful. The most important thing is that Nathaniel was only five years old at the time, and his life path has not changed so badly. Mrs. Dini smiled at this, "It's a pity that in the end I didn't choose the Duke of Manan, after all, a big man with a strange heart is not the type I like, and now it seems that my choice was also good, if I really became Nathaniel's mother...... Then Mr. Marceau, today I'm afraid that this old woman will be beaten to death by your little friend in the side hall. β
Well, Madame Dinini, you are also a powerful person who complains, considering that this place is not a place to stay for long. Marceau, who looked embarrassed, nodded: "Akemi, Minen, I'll leave here with Mr. Big Eyes first." β
"Be careful on the road. Akemi said.
"Work carefully. Min-eun said.
Marceau nodded, and then left the Duke of Manan's palace after Mr. Big Eye, who had already walked out.
After walking far away, Big Eyes suddenly turned his head to look at Marceau: "Those two girls really look like they are really good to you." β
ββ¦β¦ That's of course. Marceau raised her eyebrows, and the girls' behavior made Marceau very satisfied: "The shovel is really good for me." β
"It's good to be young. Big Eyes smiled rarely: "What to do next." β
"Madame Dinini showed us the way, and to be honest Tom Edgeworth's home is quite close to us, how to speak. β
"That's good. Let's go, Edgeworth's house doesn't have as many as Manan's. But it will take a while to get in, after all, he loves dogs, and if I remember correctly, you cat people should be very ...... Hate dogs, right. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In response to Mr. Big-Eye's question, Marceau dispelled his doubts with a poisonous-soaked meat bun. The Edgeworth dog was indeed well raised, but it still couldn't resist Marceau's choice of buns - this was a super delicious meat bun made by Akemi and Minn, the meat was juicy and thin, and it was Marceau who threw it directly into the food bowl that the Edgeworth family fed the dogs, and the two Green Forest military dogs ate them without any suspicion. Then he knelt down without saying a word.
"Looks like you're putting my bag of money to good use. He looked at Marceau with big eyes and said in a tone full of appreciation: "If it weren't for the fact that your two little girls are businessman seeds who are more beneficial than me, I would have wanted to teach you how to use money to make money." β
"Thank you, Mr. Big Eye, but it's more important to visit the Marquis of Edgeworth's house first, right? Marceau said as he began to change his costume - the operation in Edgeworth House required a change of gear, and he couldn't go in a masquerade outfit.
Tom, the name is that kind of big road, it is obvious that the Marquis of Edgeworth did not think that his youngest son could get the title, but it was unlucky, the eldest son of the old Marquis of Edgeworth was hacked to death in a duel, and the second son came back on the way back with a black face and touched the group of monsters, and the end can only be described by the four words of dead and dead; The messenger also considered the tragic situation of the Edgeworth family and decided to wait for the third son to return in the fortress. Half a year later, the entire patrol was still missing, and until then, the most optimistic commander of the fortress could only declare the entire patrol qualitatively missing (inferred dead).
The old Marquis fell ill and died of depression half a year later, so that Mr. Tom, whom Marceau and Mr. Big Eyes were going to visit today, was His Excellency the Marquis--considering that the Marquis of Edgeworth was not a real marquis, the House of Edgeworth was inferior to the Manan Mansion in any respect, and of course it was convenient for Marceau and Big Eyes -- there were no guards, only a few half-hearted servants and not enough lighting, and Marceau and Big Eyes moved in the shadows, and soon went up to the third floor. This is the highest floor of Edgeworth House and is often the resting place of the owners of the Edgeworth house.
Halfway down the hallway, Marceau stopped, the kitten raised his left hand, and the big eye behind him raised a light crossbow in his right hand at the same time as he raised his left hand.
Two seconds passed. The door on the side of Marceau and Big Eye was opened, and then Marceau sped up, crashed the guy who came out into the room, followed Big Eye with the door, and then nailed the imp who was getting up from the bed with a sleeve of arrows: "Why haven't you killed him yet!"
Marceau looked at the girl below her, and there was no way for the dagger that had been nailed to her eye socket to fall. Eventually, he stood up: "We are killers, not butchers, Mr. Big Eyes." β
"Get out of the way. β
The big eye pushed Marceau away, and then activated the light crossbow in his hand, and the bolt was driven into the girl's chest, and the girl, who was supposed to be a servant, immediately twitched like a fish out of water, and then gradually curled up halfway as if frozen, and never moved again.
"Mr. Big-Eyed, the god of vengeance doesn't like gratuitous killing. Marceau had to warn. As a substitute, Marceau didn't want the god of vengeance and his wife to think that the kitten cub and the dwarf had always been bloodthirsty and murderous.
"What are we going to do without killing this little cub of the Edgeworth family and his little maid, so that he and her screams will alarm everyone in the whole house?" the dwarf shook his head at this point: "Enough, Mr. Marceau, I know your kindness, I killed the man, if the god of vengeance thinks I did wrong." Ask him to take my soul after my revenge mission is over. β
After speaking. The dwarf walked to the door of the room, and Marceau glanced at the boy who was dead on the bed, and then at the girl who was lying on the floor...... If I am not mistaken, in the future this master and servant will be the most interesting aboriginal couple in Anta's army, the man is a guerrilla knight and the woman is a thief. is a pair of proficient in reconnaissance missions, in which the teenager even directly obeys the orders of Anta, is the commander of her direct reconnaissance unit, but now ...... He and she were dead.
Eventually, Marceau walked out of the room after Big Eye. As she closed the door, Marceau sighed.
"Good night, Master Bran, and Miss Akane. β
Following Mr. Big Eyes, Marceau followed him to the deepest part of the corridor, pulled out a folding light crossbow, pushed open the door, Marceau preemptively pinned the butler, and Big Eyes first pinned the young man who closed the window to the ground, and then the Hidden Arrow pinned the Marquis of Edgeworth to the ground, and Marceau activated the Hidden Arrow at this time, killing the parrot that wanted to fly out of the room.
Mr. Big-Eyes walked towards his target, and Marceau reached out and closed the door, the young man by the window seemed to be in good shape, and he struggled to climb to the side of the weapon rack, until a bolt from the light crossbow in Big-Eye's hand drove into his skull.
"No, my children!, who are you!" shouted Marquis d'Edgeworth, clutching his abdomen as he struggled to sit up, as he watched the two assailants.
"Tom, you're really a noble man, have you forgotten Mimita Tatab, it's okay to forget, you shouldn't have forgotten Mimita Tatab's little dwarf sider. Wide-eyed lifted his mask, looked at the panicked Marquis of Edgeworth and smiled, "I brought you Mimita's greetings, do you remember her?" β
"No, it has nothing to do with me! it was all Nathaniel and Roger!" Perhaps remembering something, the Marquis of Edgeworth screamed, "No! you can't kill my child!
"Enough, Tom, you should know that I came to you today, and I didn't think of letting you live, you and your friends will die, your younger and older sons are already on the road, it's your turn. β
"No, you killed Brando! the boy!" Before he could finish speaking, a sleeve arrow pierced the head of the Marquis of Edgeworth, and the Marquis, who had lost his life, bowed his head and said no more.
Turning around, he looked at Marceau with big eyes: "Mr. Marceau, do you know, since the news of Mimita Tatab's suicide spread, I vowed to avenge her, I worked hard to make money, I worked hard to learn the art of assassination, my efforts have had an effect, but I have never been able to advance...... My coach said I had a demon in my heart, I knew what he was talking about, I wasn't able to rush into the house and rescue Mimita at that time, I couldn't beat the guards at that time, I just thought I was too weak at the time, and now I think about it...... Weakness is not a reason why I can't storm the house, I am dead, and I should die by the sword of those guards...... You know, Mr. Marceau. β
"I know that not being able to save a loved one feels like a thousand blades piercing my heart. "When I think of the nine leaves of my previous life...... Marceau felt entitled to say she understood.
"yes, so I'm crazy trying to find something that will make me stronger. Whether it's weapons, equipment, or money......" Speaking of this, Big Eyes sighed, and then shook his head: "But now it seems that being able to meet you is the only thing in my life that can be called lucky." Mr. Marceau, what do you think...... If I die, can I go to the kingdom of the Anonymous Clan, in which Mimita believes, and will I be able to meet her?"
Marceau was silent, because he didn't know how to answer, Big-Eye's beliefs had nothing to do with Anonymous at all, and Marceau didn't think that this dwarf could meet Mimita...... Moreover, Anonymous's teachings also disapprove of suicide (unless it is an act of self-sacrificing virtue), and Marceau does not feel that Mimita will be able to enter Anonymous's kingdom.
If that's the case...... Where will Mimita's soul go? God knows, there are so many multiple planes in this game. Marceau couldn't figure out what the girl who didn't want to live even if she died.
"Ah...... I'm stupid, Mr. Marceau, the night is still long, but we have more important things to do, let's go. The dwarf wiped the corners of his eyes, and walked to the door.
Marceau turned, opened the door, and fired a bolt into the woman standing in front of the room. The latter was dressed in pajamas and held a dagger in his left hand. It seems that I heard the sound of fighting in the study, and I didn't dare to confirm the small things I picked up, but unfortunately I couldn't use them.
"It's the Marquise of Edgeworth, and it looks like her youngest daughter isn't home today, and it seems to be in the Arcane Brotherhood of Ashurbi. Catching the corpse that fell towards him, Big Eye dragged the corpse into the study. Lifting the long black hair from her face, she was identified.
"A trouble?" Marceau asked.
"Well, but mine, not yours. Getting up, Big Eyes walked to the door again. Marceau opened the door again, and after letting the big eyes go out, Marceau slowly exited the door, and at the moment of closing the door, the crossbow arrow in the kitten's hand hit the butler, and the old man who had been pretending to be dead was finally dead this time.
"Why kill that old man again this time. "Walk out of the Marquis of Edgeworth, change into everyday clothes in the shadows, and wait until you reach the street, and then turn your head to look at Marceau.
"Because I don't want to let my girls live a life of displacement one day because of the incident at my east window...... I'm also quite selfish. Marceau said this, and at the same time felt that his previous self was really a little hypocritical, whether it was Master Bran, Miss Akane, everyone was a person who lived in this game world, they all wanted to make a living, they all wanted to live, and that's it.
"At least you have a reason, don't you, look away, Monsieur Marceau, you're still young, and if something happens, I'll take all the blame on myself. After speaking, he took out a cigar box: "Young man, can you have one, I know that for you foreigners, this thing will not hurt your body...... At least not during your Advent, do you? β
"Thanks, but I don't smoke, just like I don't drink. Marceau shook his head and said that he didn't play with these things: "It's not about money, it's because I don't want people who like me to see me smoking and drinking, because they don't like me like this, although people always say that people have to live for themselves, but I think ...... In life, you always have to think about others, think about others, and feel that you have to live for yourself all day long...... It's always going to die fast. β
"That's right, I think so, I think so, revenge sustains me to live in this hateful world......" The dwarf who lit a cigar and walked down the street sighed: "Mr. Marceau, can you tell me what you think about the future of you and those two girls." β
"I'm going to be a useful cat and marry them. When Marceau said this, he heard the dwarf laugh: "Just like when I was young, at that time I also felt that if I could marry Mimita, I would be satisfied in my life......" After laughing, the dwarf turned his head to look at Marceau: "Mr. Marceau, you can help a useless dwarf like me, and you can make my dream come true...... You will be happy. β
"Thank you. Marceau smiled and nodded.
"Now, let us go and greet Count Paul Dolly, who has a beautiful house...... "At this point, the dwarf sighed, "but it is a pity that after this day, I will not be able to sell it for a good price." (To be continued.) )
