Chapter 711: Assassination

The crimson heart was soaked in a pale golden liquid, shrinking from the size of its original skull to the size of a woman's fist.

The crystal-dense smooth surface is covered with holes that make the scalp tingling of the person with dense phobia, and the golden liquid has some silvery-white filaments that pass through these holes, and the heart is shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.

When the outer rings of the silver wires in the heart holes disappeared, the gold in the surrounding soaked liquid was so faint that it was almost impossible to see.

- Plop!

The heart the size of a baby's fist vibrated invisibly, and the sealed bottle containing the heart and liquid suddenly shattered and exploded!

At the same time as a high-frequency ripple visible to the naked eye was generated, a faint dark red black flame spread through the air, evaporating the crystal fragments and liquid instantly!

"That's right, it's just a natural pulsation, and the power of the sound waves generated is already between the first and second level spells, completely detonating the energy inside, at least with the destructive power of the fifth level spell." An indifferent male voice sounded.

"In the original formula, it was just a pure sonic attack, and now it comes with the dark fire attribute that the heart originally has, which reduces the concealment, but also increases the destructive power, which can only be said to be unsatisfactory," Lin An's low voice then sounded, and he commented lightly, "But the first refining can be successful, and it is considered luck, and you can't force more." ”

Sidney's silvery eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Although he was just watching Lin An's refining, the combination of refining techniques and the recipes produced by legendary-level powerhouses still made him gain a lot, but he still felt a little regretful, "The fifth-level demonic beast heart is too wasteful to make a one-time consumable prop." ”

"Retain the destructive power of the fifth-level spell level, but only require the conditions for use above the formal level, and even not force it to be used only by a mage, basically any gold-level martial artist or official mage can use it, and under one blow, it can have the attack power of the fifth-level spell of the ** division - such a powerful effect. If it weren't for consumables, I'm afraid that the high-level demonic beasts would have been extinct a long time ago. ”

Lin An is not greedy.

When she first got this heart, she had planned to refine it into another killer weapon of her own. to make up for the shortcomings of the space cutting at that time.

But after leaving Sky City, Athena's soul pact brought her soul protection, spatial transfer, and defensive enchantment. In addition, the healing and recovery ability of the Dawn God Envoy has already made her self-protection ability quite high in all directions, and on this basis, the spatial cutting has also progressed, and with her magic, the need to increase her attack power is no longer so urgent.

So Lin An changed his mind, considering Lancet's current situation. Lin An felt that it was also a good choice to make this two-headed demonic beast heart into a one-time consumption, but powerful prop.

Of course, in addition to the above reasons, the difficulty of refining the recipes given by the three wardens is also one of the considerations.

This one-time consumption of the sonic heart. It was the easiest of the three high-level demonic beast heart formulas, but there was only one fifth-level demonic beast heart in Lin An's hand.

"As long as you don't use spells and energy to induce at the same time, it's really stable."

Holding the smooth and hard heart, feeling the restrained and violent energy in the heart for a while, Sidney's slightly burning eyes slowly cooled. Hand the sonic heart back to Lin An.

Lin An put the sonic heart into the Ring of Artemis, and attached a piece of paper full of instructions and precautions for use - in terms of destructive power, this sonic heart may be a little smaller than a small nuclear bomb, but it is not much smaller.

It was already dark, and the wreckage and residual energy fluctuations of the scene had just been cleaned up. There was a warning sign from Titi in his spirit: the two half-step legends and envoys were less than fifty miles away from the town.

……

Late at night, under a residential house in the town.

The cellar, which is ten times wider than the above-ground building, is slightly cool and dry, divided into several rooms, and the interior is so luxurious and comfortable that it is hard to imagine that the ground less than three feet away is a room made of thatched loess.

In the middle of the night after a tiring trek, there was also a room with a faint light.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Princess Elizabeth woke up from her slumber and dimly saw her husband get up and sit on the edge of the bed.

"Nothing, sleep, Lizzie."

As soon as Elizabeth's breathing changed from her sleep, Lenster had already put away the sonic heart and parchment, took a sip of a glass of water from the bedside, and returned to bed.

In the other two rooms separated from them by a few walls, the white-haired man and the silver-haired and red-eyed demonic youth suddenly opened their eyes, and at the same time looked in one direction, as if they could see through several walls the thing that had just made them feel a slight sense of danger.

But the feeling was only fleeting, and the white-haired man and the demonic youth did not make any move, and soon closed their eyes again and fell silent in the darkness.

……

"The letter of visit to Wèn arrived in Dandong three months ago, and Perret's envoys had arrived at the border checkpoint more than a month ago, and before entering the customs, the Leinster and their envoys had to join up with the envoys of the bright side, and during this time in the desert, it was a period of real calm and calm, and the real test began after meeting Perret's envoys at the customs."

As Lin An expected, one day after the overnight stay in the town, the envoy group and the official envoy team converged.

The envoy procession, heavily protected by 2,000 royal guards, seemed peaceful, but after nightfall, Lin An learned from the news that even in the short time it had been on the border of Ponto, the envoy had suffered one stab wound and two poisonings, of which Charles's stand-in had eaten poisonous dishes during the second poisoning and had died two days earlier.

"As the first deputy envoy and the most likely successor to the throne after Odin's death, he is really the biggest target - His Majesty the Emperor is really ruthless!" Lin An sighed.

From some of the information exchanged by Lancet, it can be known that most of the assassinations and poisonings were directed at Charles, and the emperor's grandson Saxon and Douglas also received some "attention", and Ranster, the envoy, was also assassinated specifically against him.

Only Ludwig and his wife, who occasionally become affected pond fish, have nothing to do with them most of the time, and have not been assassinated so far.

From time to time, Lancet would mention Ludwig's relationship in the exchange of notes, and Lin An knew that he was mainly indirectly indirectly informing her about Ludwig's situation.

On the afternoon of the second day of the rendezvous with the official mission, the border between Ponto and Perret came into view.

"Here we are."

Lin An stood on the top of a hill and saw from a distance the blue-black fortress with dozens of flags such as the Pere White Elephant Giant Whale Flag fluttering. Dense armies lined up at the head of the city.

A long scarlet carpet stretched out under the city gates, and between the two columns of spearmen with guns in the sky, a royal envoy of Perre, led by a fat man, stood on the red carpet. Meet the Royal Legates and Guards of Merlin approaching in a long phalanx.

Since there were strong people on both sides watching, Lin An did not dare to approach. The hill is quite far away from the level, and even with the blessing of Eagle Eye, the people in the line of sight are as small as ants, and they can barely distinguish the approximate color of their clothing.

When Lin An saw the Merlin envoys walking on the red carpet and the royal envoys led by Perret slowly bumping into each other like two rows of small ants, Lenster was wearing a formal suit and standing at the front of the envoys. Behind him, Charles, Douglas, and Saxon, the three lieutenants, walked towards the Perre envoy.

The two sides faced each other, and Lancet stood fifteen paces away from each other.

One step behind him, the ceremonial officer, holding the tray where the credentials were kept, stepped forward, and the first deputy, Charles, walked up to the ceremonial officer. Uncover the red flannel with gold tassels on the tray.

Lanster took the letter of state that Charles held in both hands, opened it, took three steps forward, and read out the contents of it, and the envoy of Perret on the opposite side also read out the letter of the emperor Perre. Expressing their welcome to the visit of the Merlin envoys, the ceremonial officers holding the national credentials on both sides stepped back, and the second ceremonial officer stepped forward.

It's time to give gifts and reciprocates.

Charles first unveiled the gift of the visit brought by the Merlin envoys, which was a return gift from Perret with black velvet supporting a star crystal placed in a Fijian ivory box. It is a deep-sea volcanic pronucleus no less than the Star Crystal.

The ceremonial officers of both sides walked to each other's lieutenants and exchanged gifts.

Just as Charles took the white velvet box containing the protonucleus of the deep-sea volcano and was about to hand it over to Lancet, Lancet suddenly realized that something was wrong-

The ceremonial officer with white gloves standing behind Charles held the tray with one hand, and then the angle of his body and the flannel tassel blocked his vision, and with the other hand he pulled out a short black dagger from under the tray, and his wrist turned between square inches, without even raising his elbow, and stabbed straight into the unsuspecting Charles's ribs!

"Be careful!"

Charles was quick to respond.

After days of experience of escaping between the blades of assassins, although his strength was mediocre, he seemed to have developed an instinct to recognize the direction of the crisis, and before he could finish his words, he had already changed his hand, blocking the velvet box containing the protonuclear of the deep sea volcano in his hand to his right side.

The dagger in the assassin's hand was like cutting tofu without encountering half an obstacle, and pierced straight into the box, until it touched the extremely hard volcanic core, and then slightly blocked it, slowing the assassin for a moment, before the velvet box was split in half, and the precious volcanic core fell out.

But this block was enough for the others to react, and a little spark fell out of thin air three feet above the assassin's head, and the assassin disappeared, and a large hole in the red carpet appeared in place, leaving not even a trace of ashes.

The black dagger fired by the assassin before his death grazed Charles and Lancet's sides and into the carpet, where the red carpet silently faded and turned gray and brittle, emitting corrosive green smoke, and Charles took two steps back, revealing a hint of fear.

A corner of his lieutenant's robe had been cut off, and it was sizzling, but no defensive shield was activated, because according to etiquette, he could not wear any magical equipment when exchanging credentials.

It was over in the blink of an eye, and just when Lancet thought the situation was timed, a miserable snort made him look to the other side, just in time to see Vice Envoy Perret pull out the dagger that had been pierced into the neck, and stab him in the heart with his backhand!

(To be continued)

ps:

Thank you Xia Worm _ Yu Bing big pink ticket! o(n_n)o~

It is written that a bug was found, and it was wrong to say that Charles was the envoy of the legation corps, and in terms of his current identity, Lanster, as the Grand Duke, was the envoy, and he changed the account.

Scroll for pink, pink, dear little pink, where have you all been?
