Chapter 22: Assassination

The clouds on the horizon were burned red by the setting sun, and on this winter evening, a richly decorated carriage slowly drove along a road in the southern province of the Magnolia Empire. This delicate four-wheeled carriage is made of the finest materials. The dignified and noble black body, as well as the exquisite carvings and gold-painted patterns on the carriage, all show the noble identity of the owner of this carriage.

In the front and rear of the carriage, there were ten knights of the guard wearing light armor, riding horses and hanging knights' swords, the armor on their bodies was polished, and their weapons were shiny.

At the front of the procession was a tall and proud unicorn with its golden horn shining brightly, and its body was draped in the most ornate saddle and accessories.

The captain of the escort team, a sixty-five-year-old seventh-level soldier, Carter sat next to the coachman, he bit a grass root boredly in his mouth, glanced at the sky, then sighed deeply, turned around and leaned down to knock on the window of the carriage: "My lord, are we looking for a place to rest, it's getting a little dark." ”

In the carriage carriage, Kyle, whose reading had been interrupted, looked up, he opened the window, and glanced at the sunset, "Okay. ”

Carter immediately responded, and at this time, a horse galloped in front of him, and soon came to the carriage, and a guard knight in light armor panted slightly, and said loudly: "Captain, there is a small town ahead, it seems that this is the only place we can choose to rest tonight." ”

Carter nodded: "My lord has spoken, and I will rest in front today." ”

……

The town of Worley is the only town within a radius of 100 miles, and there is only one tavern in this town of hundreds of households, and the name is simple: the Tavern of Wakalei.

Because it is the only tavern, business is not too bad. Cheap alcoholic drinks, cheap barbecue, cheap stepdaughter...... Even people at the bottom of society need some joy in life, don't they?

When Kyle's motorcade arrives at the tavern, Kyle looks up and closes the book in his hand. Then extinguished the flame of the lighting magic in the carriage.

The unicorn released it before it entered the town, leaving it to have fun in the surrounding mountains and forests.

As he stepped out of the car, Kyle glanced up at the rusty tin sign hanging from the tavern, swaying back and forth in the wind, the cacophony of voices coming from inside the door, and the lively lights on the windows.

When Kyle and his party walked into the tavern, they immediately caught the attention of the insiders. After all, a group of knights in light armor poured in from this small tavern, which was still very eye-catching.

Kyle was the last to enter, and by the time he walked in, the knights had done their job well: clearing an open space, a clean table, and enclosing Kyle in a safe circle.

Everyone in the tavern looked at Kyle, who looked like he was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

Kyle's figure is still quite tall, but his body is a little thinner, after all, when practicing martial arts at that time, the instructor he invited was the type who was more dexterous and agile. The beautiful dress on his body, even the neckline and cuffs are embellished with lace, showing his aristocratic status, so he looks more of a weak person.

Slender, white and silent, with a book in his hand.

The rest of the guards had already begun to carry their luggage, old Carter threw out a few gold coins, the tavern owner immediately cleared out a few clean rooms, arranged for people to feed the horses, and so on.

At the moment, Kyle is enduring all kinds of strange stares from the people around him.

"Oh! Seemingly! is a noble lord. ”

"Ah, how could a noble lord come to our place."

"Boss, I think you should collect the chair this guy sat on, maybe you can sell it for a good price!"

After a brief silence, the people in the tavern regained their hustle and bustle, and everyone was talking about Kyle and his party. Obviously, it is a very rare thing to run into such a small place, in such a cheap tavern, a noble man in fancy clothes.

There are also a few women with heavy makeup, scantily dressed, shoulders and **** who try to squeeze over and talk to Kyle, but old Carter did his job well and drove these prostitutes away.

In the middle of pushing Sang, after the two girls were pushed aside, they couldn't help but point at Carter and scold a few words, those country slang, old Carter didn't care, but immediately ran next to a drunkard and hugged the prostitute: "Aha, my little baby, what's so good about that little brat, let the uncle hurt you." After saying that, he pinched the woman's ass hard, and the prostitute smiled, and immediately sat down in the drunkard's arms.

Kyle frowned, he didn't like this environment. So he got up directly and beckoned the boss to take him to his room.

The tavern room was small, but it was clean with the power of the gold coins, and Kyle sat cross-legged on the wooden bed.

"I'm almost arriving at the Roao Empire, and I'm a little tired of this long journey."

At this time, it has been more than a month since he left Pearl City, and Kyle is riding in a luxury carriage, escorted by the guards sent by Kaibin, the city lord of Pearl City, and is about to reach the border between the Magnolia Empire and the Luo Empire.

In fact, Kyle can fly directly to the Roao Empire, and to be honest, a few days is enough.

But eternal life, why not experience a different life, this aristocratic long journey, also has a unique flavor.

Of course, this is because Kyle, as a sanctuary, can choose not to eat unsightly and smelly food when encountered, and he only eats to enjoy the deliciousness. At the same time, he also exempted from excretion problems, bathing problems, etc. In the event of a thief, these guards alone are easy to dismiss. Only once, when an eighth-level warrior appeared on the other side, Kyle just released a random magic, and the thief's bones were gone.

That's why his trip is so pleasant.

And just as Kyle was sitting cross-legged, about to start meditating, he suddenly felt a faint killing intent.

A gap broke in the roof of the wooden house, and a white hand grabbed a dagger that shone with green flames and stabbed it straight into Kyle's Celestial Spirit Cover.

"Die. It's just a little ghost who has just entered the Holy Realm, and no matter how talented he is, what can he do. The owner of the hand, a hot, green-haired woman in black, thought as she looked indifferently at Kyle, who was getting closer and closer to her dagger.

However, an invisible barrier appeared between the black-clad green-haired woman and Kyle's head, and under the woman's incredulous gaze, her dagger was barely allowed to enter an inch, even though it was only a centimeter away from Kyle.

"Is this the forbidden spell of the earth system, the pulsating guard? When? ”

The woman had no choice but to fight and roll over to the empty part of the room, kneeling on one knee on the floor, staring at Kyle.
