Silently approaching the patrol guard in front of him from behind, who was still yawning due to sleepiness, the sword hidden in his sleeve suddenly unsheathed under the drive of the machine, bypassing the leather armor on the soldier's neck, and stabbing straight into the guard's throat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A large amount of blood spurted out in an instant, staining the guard's coat red, but because his throat was cut in the first place, the short-lived guard did not make much noise, and could only repeat the action of opening and closing his mouth like a catfish that had lost its water source in the severe pain and fear of losing his life, even if such an action could not fill his lungs with the slightest oxygen.

Ignoring the "ho-ho" sound that came from the blood-soaked throat accompanied by the bursting bubbles, Alice's Hidden Blade moved again, and the sharp blade stabbed into the back of the guard's head, ending what should have been a long and painful death.

"It's not that you're at fault, it's just that you've chosen the wrong master to serve. With a bass voice so low that it was almost inaudible to say a final prayer for the guard, Alice shook off the blood and brains stuck to the Hidden Blade, not paying any attention to the guard's unwilling and fearful face, and reached directly under the guard's armpit, dragging him to a remote well not far away.

In a fraction of a short time after tying a knot at the corpse's feet and sling the heavy axe and sword that the guard had carried, Alice lifted the still warm corpse over her shoulders and slowly sank it into the well with the help of the wheels at the mouth of the well.

In this case, there probably won't be any problems, at least in a short time to complete the task yourself...

After cleaning up the bloodstains and traces of the fight left behind by the assassination, Alice tightened her hood slightly, and the hook hidden under her wrist struck again, hooking a building not far away, causing Alice to climb to the roof again, avoiding the inspection of another guard in the area.

Not seeing his colleague at the reserved position, the patrolling guard was slightly stunned, scratched his head, and began to look around, but it didn't take long for him to stop looking, but turned away, and by his hurried appearance, he probably went to inform his superiors of this strange situation.

After confirming the actions of the other guard, Alice was also completely relieved, and then secretly recalled the information passed to him by the prostitute agent, and sneaked into the center of the Rhine Palace.

In this era of closed news, a person's short-term disappearance will hardly cause any waves, unless the status of the missing person rises to the position of an important minister of the state or even the emperor, it is possible to produce the so-called qualitative change, and an ordinary guard who is not a nobleman, except for his relatives and friends, no one will pay attention to him anymore.

Even the guy who was still on patrol just now had something like drinking and gambling or other reasons to prompt him to leave his post without permission, after all, as a free man, his agency is too great, unless there is solid evidence, such as the discovery of a corpse or the disappearance of a certain period of time, etc., will attract enough attention from the top.

And the news of the disappearance of this missing guard will probably reach the ears of his commander in a short time, and then there will be a certain degree of search in the area, but in Alice's opinion, her method of hiding the body can really be said to be impeccable, at least in a short time, it is impossible for these big-headed soldiers to find out, and in the end they can only be stopped.

And by the time they found out a few days later, they would have already succeeded and fled.

Of course, the premise of all this can only be realized if his actions do not go wrong tonight, because if he is really discovered, the entire Rhine Palace will inevitably be under martial law, and the success rate of his mission will be greatly reduced.

However, even if someone was found to have committed a murder in the Rhine Palace, Alice was not too worried, because according to the Templar Order's intelligence, he was sure that the "Griffon's Key", which was the target of his mission, would not be removed from the palace for any reason within three days.

To be honest, if this guard hadn't completely blocked his way and Alice had to do it, he still hoped that he would be able to find out all the information he needed without anyone noticing.

The information given by the agent is not very accurate, but Alice is told the approximate location of the key, and at the same time mentioned in the information, there is also a key keeper who is called a "sinner" by the chief of the guard who often goes to the prostitution hall for entertainment, and the key is also kept by him.

The name of the "sinner" is unknown, his gender is unknown, and his appearance is unknown, not only did the chief of the guard not reveal anything to others, but even there were no rumors about this guy in the market, and the only information that could be confirmed was that the chief of the guard inadvertently said that "if it weren't for the royal family to keep him useful, this kind of sinner would not be worthy of continuing to live in the world, and living in that kind of environment would be considered cheap for her".

It can be inferred from this that although this custodian lives in the palace like these nobles, the environment in which he lives must not be considered high-end, and may even be very poor, and probably even the location should be relatively remote.

"The sinner who guards the key?" Alice frowned slightly, carefully probing the ubiquitous patrol guards, flashing through the corridors as they turned around to reveal their blind spots, their special leather boots as light as feline pads, while absorbing all unnecessary noise.

With little time to spare, and relying on her skillful assassin skills, Alice evaded all the guards and outposts along her way, and finally reached the southeast of the central area of the palace, where there were only two buildings that met the description of the chief of the guard.

One is a slightly old, but more dilapidated, courtyard with a small warehouse, while the other is a more ordinary, but more remote courtyard.

There are traces of human life in both courtyards, and Alice's first choice is the one that is a little remote, but it looks very ordinary.

After all, in his mind, even if this sinner who kept the key was called a sinner, after all, he was working for the royal family, and no matter how he said it, the treatment should be said in the past.

However, to Alice's surprise, after nearly an hour of frenzied rummaging without alerting any of the patrolling guards in the courtyard, the Templar Master Assassin found no trace of the "sinner".

He even overheard the secret conversation between the little master and a little maid in this courtyard, and found a treasure chest full of imperial gold coins hidden in the secret compartment of the room, but there was no useful information.

And in the end, Alice is completely sure that he did make a wrong choice at the beginning, and this small courtyard is probably just the private property of the heir of an unfavored royal family.

After confirming this, Alice left the small courtyard and moved towards the slightly dilapidated courtyard.

The dilapidated courtyard was quiet, with no extra noise, only the bright light of the lights coming from a few scattered rooms.

Choosing one of the lighted rooms on the top floor of the courtyard at random, and dodging the few poor guards outside, Alice's flying claws hooked the beams, and then turned over to the roof of the courtyard, and stood on the aisle next to the roof, presumably for the next step for the people to walk, and after carefully turning over a few tiles, the scene inside the house appeared to him.

It was a waiter cleaning the room, carrying an oil lamp to clean the large number of bookshelves that were placed in the room.

"Isn't that right... Alice shook her head a little annoyed, and was about to put the tiles back in her hand to observe another room in the courtyard where there were lights, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of the tiles being trampled behind Alice, and at the same time, there was a lack of breath, and even a hint of fear sounded.

"What people!"

It's broken... Alice's heart sank suddenly, and she immediately understood that this time his operation to find out information would not end well, after all, even if he succeeded in extinguishing his mouth, the disappearance of one person could be said to be an accident, and if two people disappeared, it could be said that it was deliberate, and it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the palace guards.

It's just that I didn't expect that there were sentries on such a remote roof.

The Hidden Blade in his hand was unsheathed again, but instead of stabbing the sentry in the throat, it stabbed straight into the guard's arm that was clutching at the alarm bell.

But the two were too far apart, Alice's sword was still a step too late, and the small alarm bell was still held by the guards after all.

The crisp sound of the bell was especially loud in the silence of the night, and even if it was only a ringing and the hand-cranked bell fell from the upstairs with the owner's right hand, the bell still resounded throughout the courtyard.

And the bell that was supposed to disappear did not disappear with the loss of the alarm bell, but a new bell rang not far from the courtyard.

Immediately afterward, the courtyard was full of alarm bells, and Alice could even feel it, as more and more alarm bells gradually converged towards the dilapidated courtyard as time passed.

"Still sneaking in... This is probably completely exposed. Pulling out the Hidden Blade embedded in the guard's throat and kicking it downstairs at the same time, Alice held her forehead slightly, looking at the bright moon in space with some trouble.

The plan was changed, and he had to find the sinner in the house in the shortest possible time, grab the key, and at the same time leave the place of right and wrong and take the griffon's key out of the palace.

However, just as Alice was jumping into the house through the window and knocking out the waiter, who had just been cleaning the room, a very strange Assassin quote (?) popped into her mind.

As long as he kills all the people who come, won't no one see him, which is equivalent to completely infiltrating?
