In the dim streets.

A man on crutches walked, and a black autumn bird landed on his shoulder.

On the other side of the street, around the corner, two men quietly walked out, then pretended to be passing by and walked slowly.

But their eyes were fixed on the man in front of them, and they never left for a moment.

The man on crutches stopped suddenly.

The two people who were following behind were startled, and quickly retracted their gaze, but their footsteps did not stop, otherwise if the other party did not find them, they would not have confessed to themselves.

"Smack"

The crutches in the hands of the man in front of him fell, making a crisp sound.

His whole body trembled suddenly, and his mouth was accompanied by a voice of unknown meaning.

"Ho"

The man staggered forward a few steps before falling to the ground.

"This ········"

The sudden change of shock made the stalker's face change.

The two looked at each other.

"Let's go, let's go and see. ”

One of them gritted his teeth and said.

The two quickly approached the man and flipped his body over.

The man still wore that clown mask on his face.

Removing the masks, the two of them couldn't help but gasp.

Beneath the mask was the face of a middle-aged man, his eyes cloudy and silent, his face as dry as tree bark, full of ashes, as if he had been drained of life.

The man had lost his breath of life, but his body temperature was still there, and he should have died just now.

"What now?" asked one of them.

"I can only go back and explain to the eldest prince truthfully. ”

"What to do with the corpse?"

"It's not our job to bring it back and have someone check it out to see what the hell is going on. ”

But just when the two of them made up their minds and were ready to act.

Low laughter came from all around.

"Who?!"

The two of them looked around vigilantly, and the magic energy on their bodies fluctuated, ready to strike at any time.

But the surroundings were empty, and there was no human figure to be seen.

The pitch-black black bird on the man's shoulder didn't know when it flew into the air and circled above them.

The muffled laughter still echoed, and everything in front of me was extremely weird.

The two felt their scalps tingle, and they turned around and ran without hesitation, behaving abnormally tacitly.

It didn't even have time to take the corpse away, or rather, it didn't dare to take it away.

The moonlight jumps out of the dark clouds, bringing a glimmer of light to the streets.

The corpse, which gradually became stiff, lay quietly on the ground.

The black autumn bird is constantly hovering above, as if symbolizing the messenger of death.

··········

Outside the manor where a dinner party is being held.

Nexus severed himself from the Oocho Bird.

"It's a great job. ”

He sighed.

The man on crutches and the masked man on his head is naturally the one who uses the trick to manipulate him, and the black autumn bird that can speak can speak is the latest beast control ability.

The way of control is to fuse spiritual power and magic energy to form a transparent worm, which can be manipulated by implanting it in the body, of course, the object of control can only be magical beasts or ordinary animals, and it is ineffective against humans.

The Beast Master can control Warcraft, and naturally can also control ordinary animals.

Moreover, the magic energy and mental power required to control these ordinary animals is much lower than that of controlling magical beasts.

And to control that black autumn bird, the power consumed is almost negligible.

And the degree of control of Nexus is very high, not only can he only control it to attack like an ordinary beast controller, but he can even replace the subject's thinking, which means that the person being manipulated can be regarded as a clone of Kers!

It's just that this doppelganger doesn't have to be human.

"But such a high level of control also brings limitations, even if my magic energy and mental power are enough to support the control of hundreds or thousands of beasts at the same time, it is practically impossible to achieve.

"Because once I manipulate too many objects at the same time, it is difficult for me to keep my ontological self-consciousness awake. Countless identical consciousnesses, who is me? That would throw my spirit into confusion and even be devastated. ”

Two.

This is the number of limits that Fox estimates to be manipulated.

Whether it's an ordinary bird like the Oocho or a powerful adult monster, Kex can only control up to two at the same time.

Kox didn't have the guts to appear in front of the other party, so using trickery was the best choice.

The middle-aged man wasn't just a random look, but the target of an assassination mission he had chosen to cover up when he went to the Assassin League's Arthur City rally.

The other party is ostensibly a businessman doing ordinary business, but in fact, he is secretly engaged in human trafficking and other illegal activities, which offends many people, so some people want to buy his life.

In fact, the other party was very cautious, and even hired a magician to protect himself, but unfortunately, he was unlucky enough to meet X.

"I didn't plan to complete this task at all, who let this guy even plan to go to the prince's dinner, I'm embarrassed if I don't waste it. ”

Nexus sighed.

"This can be regarded as establishing a certain degree of cooperative relationship with the eldest prince, but now that I think about it, it is still a bit reckless to go to the other party rashly. After all, the strength of the two sides is completely unequal, and if you are not careful, you will set yourself on fire and expose yourself.

"But there is not much time left, although Corgi Rosen is dead, but I can't guarantee that the second prince will have any backhand, it is much better to let the eldest prince succeed on the throne than the second prince, and asking for the relevant secret information is incidental, no matter how the other party thinks, it is impossible to know his true purpose.

But the eldest prince Sean doesn't believe me very much, as can be seen from the fact that he sent someone to follow me. However, the other party's reaction is normal, a secretive guy suddenly comes up and proposes a deal, no one will believe it, right?

The impact I can have on this level of struggle is really limited, and I can only do my best. ”

Nexus pondered, analyzing his actions during this time.

"There hasn't been much wrong with the recent action for the time being, so let's continue to be more cautious, after all, it's on the other side's territory.

·········

At noon the next day, in the small villa he rented, Kerry finished his cultivation and planned to go downstairs for lunch.

At the table, lunch was ready, but Bertha was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Kerr was sitting down to eat, Bertha hurried in from outside.

"Young master, something is wrong!"

Fox froze, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty and the Great Prince······ He, they ······"

Bertha's face turned pale, as if she couldn't believe what she was going to say.

A bad premonition crossed his mind, and a guess crossed his mind in an instant.

Should it be ·······

"Your Majesty and the Great Prince, both dead!"

Eventually, Bertha struggled to say that.

He suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning.

·········

A few hours ago, early in the morning.

The sun had just risen in the sky, but it didn't soothe the winter cold.

The Royal Palace, the Palace of Inheritance.

The Hall of Inheritance, made of special materials, has remained unchanged since it was built more than 2,000 years ago.

Even the buildings of the Imperial Palace have undergone a lot of repairs and renovations, but the Hall of Inheritance has always retained its original appearance, which is simple, atmospheric, and exudes a strong historical smell.

Standing in front of this magnificent hall, it is as if you have traveled through countless eras and returned to that war-torn and magnificent historical era.

But at this moment, in front of the Hall of Inheritance, the door was closed, and the second prince Sean smiled and stood in front of the Hall of Inheritance.

Opposite him was the gloomy prince Sean, whose personal guards and Candit were guarding him in the middle, sword in hand, looking around vigilantly at the soldiers who had surrounded them.

The soldiers were dressed in pitch-black armor with dark gold lines, and they all held heavy greatswords in their hands, and their bodies did not move, waiting for orders.

However, the aura of coldness and slaughter had emanated from them.

Overwhelming.

"Zachary, how dare you do this, do you want to rebel?"

Sean's face was extremely ugly.

According to the information announced to the public, the inheritance ceremony should take place in another five days, but no one knows, the real time will actually be five days in advance, and just today, he will hide from the others, successfully accept the inheritance in the Hall of Inheritance, and then ascend to the throne shortly after.

It was supposed to be like this.

But how did the other party see through his plan? Even Candit didn't know about it!

All the preparations he had instructed Candit to make were based on the lineage ceremony to be held five days later, and it wasn't until this morning that he told the other party the news.

So the news couldn't have been leaked.

And the fact is that the other side has been prepared for a long time.

What shocked him even more was that Zachary had actually mastered the Obsidian Knights, which were all knights selected through thousands of selections, and the most elite force in the palace guards.

The dark gold pattern of black armor is a symbol of strength, which is the prestige forged by blood.

"Tsk, big brother, you really put a lot of effort into dealing with me, but unfortunately, it's still a little bit close. ”

Zachary shook his head ruefully.

"Zachary, you have to figure out what you're doing! Do you really want to rebel and get infamous on your back?"

"Ha, haha, hahahaha. ”

Zachary was overjoyed and burst out laughing.

"Dear big brother, history is written by the victors, you should know that, right?" Zachary sneered.

Then, the smile on his face retracted.

"Kill!"

As the word kill came out of Zackery's mouth, the obsidian knights, who had been motionless as sculptures, moved.

An obsidian knight stepped forward, and the giant black crutch on the ground disappeared in an instant as it was waved by a pair of hands.

The hundred-pound giant sword was as light as a dagger in his hand, and the giant sword emitted a black light.

Like a black lightning bolt, the giant sword slashed through the air and space, as if even time had frozen, and only the black light that was extremely fast flashed away.

"Puff"

The blood cracked, and one of the guards of Sean was split in half before he could release the magic energy, and his eyes were full of disbelief and a hint of confusion before he died.

The gap is too big.

Sean thought that the guards he had trained were quite elite, but they were as vulnerable as children in front of the Obsidian Knight.

The Obsidian Knight is like a sophisticated machine, always choosing the right moment to attack, and his men are killed before they even have time to exert their strength.

In the midst of the screams, Sean's guards kept falling, and the battle situation was completely overwhelming.

"Damn it, protect Your Highness!"

Candit roared angrily, a glint flashed in his eyes, and his spiritual power instantly exploded, sweeping all around.

Soul Shock!

The Obsidian Knights' movements faltered slightly, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Sean's guards fought back to contain the opponent's attack.
