Act Ninety-Four: The Killer

Craig's men are Fleming I's hidden killers, and this plot is indeed a bit beyond Rosen's expectations.

"Now, that kid has a lot of trust in you. ”

Craig said to the killer, taking a puff of his pipe and exhaling white mist.

"Who would have thought that the orphans I picked up from the pile of dead people were actually pawns laid by others in the first place?"

In the face of Craig's words, the killer was silent.

"In the Isfar Raiders back then, Fleming thought he had picked up two treasures, but he didn't expect that one of them was not his henchman at all. ”

Craig said, glancing at the killer.

"In three days' time, Fleming and the witch will be executed in front of all the people of Atlantia, so go back and get ready. ”

The killer heard Craig's words, nodded slightly, and exited the room.

Only Rosen noticed that his heartbeat seemed to change subtly when the other party mentioned Avinia, and he would not have been able to detect it if it weren't for Rosen's level.

"Looks like he knows Avinia?"

Rosen followed the killer to the basement where he lived, which was cold and dry, with only a stone bed and a set of tables and chairs, and it didn't look like there was any breath of life.

The killer sat down in his chair, waved his hand, took an old notebook from the storage ring, spread it out and began to write something.

Rosen's sense extended, and he quickly read the words in his notebook.

This notebook is written with complex specific notations, and ordinary people can't understand the contents at all, but Rosen only used a little knowledge of cryptography to decipher the contents.

Isfar was originally a small city-state in northern Atlantia, but it was invaded by Chaos Monsters ten years ago, when Isfar asked for help from Atlantia, but instead of supporting, Fleming I took advantage of the fire and took advantage of the fire to loot and swallow most of Isfar's land, causing Isfar to suffer more heavy casualties and eventually lose the country.

And this killer, named Leo, is the original survivor of Isfar.

He crawled out of the pile of dead and was picked up by Fleming I, who personally fought at the time, and because of his special powers, he was brainwashed and trained to become a killer for the royal family, dealing with all kinds of things on the dark side.

But what Fleming I didn't expect was that Leo was actually a spy sent to Isfar by Craig for a long time, and at first he was just preparing to attack Isfar one day, but he didn't expect the Chaos invasion, and he accidentally became Fleming I's cronies, and the so-called brainwashing had no effect in front of Leo, who had a strong spiritual power.

Leo became a pawn that Craig planted next to Fleming I, perhaps from a very early age, Craig began to plot to usurp power, Leo was an unexpected gain, but now it has become the most important arrangement.

"Still, the killer doesn't seem so cold. ”

Rosen said this because he had discovered some special parts of Leo's account.

It's about Avinia Keynz.

He discovers that Avinia Keinz is the other of the two people mentioned by Craig who was picked up by Fleming, and is also a survivor of Isfar.

Moreover, Avinia is not a commoner, but the royal princess of Isfar.

Leo had already infiltrated the royal palace of Isfar, and accidentally met Avinia, and the two grew up together, and the two had no guesses, although Leo was a killer who had already seen blood in his heart, but he still had subtle feelings for Avinia.

At that time, Avinia's prophecy ability had not yet awakened, and she was still an ordinary girl, and she also had a good impression of Leo, who was more mature than her peers.

But the invasion of chaos and the betrayal of Atlantia have made earth-shaking changes in the future of the two people, and it was at that time that Avinia awakened the ability to predict the future, and overnight from an ignorant little girl to a girl who is extremely indifferent to everything.

Originally, Fleming I simply took a fancy to Avinia's appearance and wanted to keep it for himself, but after the other party showed a strong ability of foresight, he changed his mind and asked her to accompany him and treat him as a distinguished guest, and Avinia, in order to survive, could only pretend to please Fleming and grovel.

"It turns out that there is such a story. ”

After reading the notebook, Rosen was a little emotional, and what surprised him the most was that Leo was still in contact with Avinia, and the two seemed to be plotting something.

"It's a wonderful story. ”

There was no need to guess, Lawson could also think of what kind of plot it would be, he felt that he had gathered enough information this time, and was about to leave the cold basement directly, only to find Leo looking at an ornament in his hand.

It was a pendant that had become a little dim, and the original carefully carved pattern could be faintly visible, and Leo held the pendant, his gaze softer than ever, looking less like a weathered killer than a gentle husband.

Rosen thought of something, but turned and left the place, following the direction of his law barrier back to the palace, Avinia's residence.

He first communicated with Irandall and Fina, and learned that Avinia had barely gone out today, and was reading and meditating, so Rosen walked into the room and happened to see Avinia in light pajamas, revealing her graceful curves.

"When you say you can't change, do you mean that?"

Rosen knew that Avinia must have known what she was doing, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"I tried to save my country, but in vain, it perished as prophesied. ”

Avinia said, her eyes showing a bit of loneliness.

"In return, I watched my parents be killed by someone I once loved, and I was left with such wounds. ”

She stripped off her shirt and turned, revealing the wound on her back that couldn't heal.

From the shoulder blades to the lower back, a long tear-like wound was filled with black mist, exuding a chaotic aura that made people shudder.

Rosen noticed that the wound was suppressed by a rather powerful force of order, so that it did not consume Avinia's life force.

"This is the stigma that the goddess has given me, and it is only when I accept my fate that the power of this stigmata will be fully awakened, erasing the wounds, and giving me true power. ”

Avinia smiled, it was a somewhat miserable smile, and to be able to say such a thing meant that she was fully aware of her future, and of her end.
