Chapter 32 VI The Value of Cenas
When the feast was over, the people dispersed.
Xenas drank an unknown amount of wine, at this time he first whispered a few words to Alina, and then left his newlywed wife and staggered to Li Tianhao, grinning and saying, "You finally got the punishment you deserve, and asked your kid to betray Lao Tzu!" ”
Li Tianhao glanced at him, and saw that he was drunk and didn't say much. Unexpectedly, Xenas seemed to be overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, and suddenly leaned his head on Li Tianhao's shoulder, and he was about to vomit.
"Hey, don't spit it out, if you don't pity me, I have to pity your gorgeous clothes." Li Tianhao said hurriedly.
Unexpectedly, Xenas whispered in Li's ear: "There are assassins in the hall, who have been lurking there since the beginning of the banquet, don't make a noise, help me back." ”
Li Tianhao was taken aback, listening to Xenas's voice was completely awake, which meant that Xenas had been observing the lurking assassin throughout the banquet, and his heavy drinking and drunkenness were all pretended, in order to make the assassin relax his guard. Li Tianhao's heart moved, and he set up Xenas and walked towards the door, and said softly at the same time: "Do you have a way to deal with him?" ”
As he walked, Xenas said, "The other party has been hiding in the shadow of the zenith, I know his location, but I can't deal with him. So I'm coming to you, you have a bow and arrows in your room, I'll discern his position, you're in charge of shooting, is there a problem? ”
"It's a bit difficult, can you describe his location exactly?"
Xenas shook his head and said, "Of course not, and there is no need. It's enough for us to shoot him, and as long as he shows up, are you afraid that you won't be able to beat him? ”
"Makes sense." Li Tianhao nodded. He walked to his quarters.
As soon as he stepped into Li Tianhao's bedroom, Xenas closed the door. Immediately, Li Tianhao rushed to the wall like an arrow from the string and picked up the bow and arrow. Xenas looked out of the window and said, "This guy is really coming for you." He had been following behind. Now he is in the shadow of that little bush in the northwest corner of the patio, and you shoot five arrows at a time, not sparing any edge of the whole shadow. ”
Li Tianhao nodded, and immediately pulled his bow and arrow, and then Senas suddenly opened the door, and Li Tianhao immediately shot the arrow into the shadow!
Those five arrows were like a sharp claw, completely enveloping the shadows formed by the trees, and no one could avoid this sudden attack at such a close distance. All I could hear was the sound of arrows piercing into the flesh. Then I heard a muffled snort, and a black shadow rolled out of the shadow of the bush, and two arrows had already been hit by it!
Before the black shadow could stand up, the huge body of Senas had already arrived at his side, and the black shadow raised his foot and kicked, but Senas moved faster, and his left hand took the kick hard, and his right elbow smashed directly into the black shadow's knee, only to hear a crisp sound of bones shattering. That leg became a deformed meat stick. The black shadow screamed miserably, and was about to swing the knife in his hand at Xenas, Li Tianhao could see it clearly, and an arrow directly nailed his arm to the ground!
The shadow immediately took something out of his bosom with his other hand and put it in his mouth. Xenas's eyes were quick, and he flew up and swept his foot on the black shadow's chin, only to hear a click. The shadow's head was kicked to the side, and the contents of his mouth rolled to the side.
Xenas kicked the shadow in the stomach. Scolded: "Want to commit suicide by taking poison? Die for it! ”
At this time, Li Tianhao also rushed to the front. I heard the black shadow cough a few times and spit out a mouth full of broken teeth. Dry laugh: "You guys underestimate me Eder too much. ”
When Xenas looked closely, he saw that Eder had turned the knife and cut a small wound on his hand, and then Edel let out a strange scream, and the whole person tossed a few times like a dying fish, and then died of exhaustion.
Edel had decided to change the assassination plan on the spur of the moment, resulting in a total defeat, and he was the only one of the more than twenty Assassins who escaped. After that, he hid for nearly half a month before he dared to come out again, but he didn't expect to be killed at this welcome banquet.
Looking at Eder's corpse, Li Tianhao let out a sigh of relief and said, "Gernas, they have been worried about the existence of the remnants of the assassins, and it is really good. By the way, how do you know his whereabouts? ”
Xenas squatted down and carefully examined Eder's corpse, then raised his head and said with a smile: "That's a long way to say, and there are some secret things in it, but it's not for nothing." ”
Li Tianhao was about to sneer at each other, but saw Alam and Eglius, who were walking behind, heard the movement and hurried over. As soon as the two saw the corpse on the ground, they immediately understood, and said in unison: "Is this the remnant of the assassins?" ”
Li Tianhao nodded, then turned his face to Xenas and said: "Now that your precious apprentice is also present, even if you are a master and impart the information to your disciples, let's do it, even if we are auditing, at most we will pay a little tuition fee." ”
Xenas gritted his teeth and scolded, "You profiteer! Never mind! I don't care about these small profits with you! Alam, you two carry the body into the house, and I will need to explain it later, and I will have to drink a few more jugs of good wine, and talk as I go. ”
"You haven't drunk enough, I think Miss Alina will send you to Kadum City, is it because you have drunk all the wine in Port Portsmo."
Li Tianhao said so, but went back to the house and took out a few jugs of wine to entertain Xenas.
After a few glasses of wine, Xenas opened the conversation: "I don't know where this assassin came from, but I have heard of the techniques he uses. It is an ancient secret art that originated in southern Sindra. It is said that this occult art was known for its ability to concoct medicines, and it was later passed on to Paz, where it was improved by a mystical religion and incorporated some of Paz's physical techniques. By taking a secret medicine for a long time, their bodies do not smell of sweat, their joints become flexible, their muscles become abnormally soft, and their skin will appear grayish-black and dull. ”
As he spoke, Xenas began his demonstration with Eder's corpse. Sure enough, Eder's skin was gray and his muscles were soft. Xenas continued: "Coupled with their long-term training in body control skills, their bodies can be unimaginably soft, and with the combination of skin and clothing, they can hide in the shadows and make their presence undetectable. And they don't smell of sweat, so it's hard to spot them unless they're specially trained dogs. As a result, they evolved into a secret society that specialized in assassination and intelligence spying. I don't know what the reason is, there are also such people in Yaki. ”
"How did you know about such a secret organization?" Alam couldn't help but ask.
With a smug look on his face, Xenas said, "I'm an undefeated mercenary Xenus, and I've met all kinds of people in my career. One of them used to be a member of that secret organization, but due to his limited qualifications, he was unable to cultivate to the highest level of latent hiding, so he escaped and became a mercenary. He told me these secrets before he died in battle. ”
"Oh? How can they still die in battle if they can lurk so that no one knows? Li Tianhao asked.
"You don't know about that. Although they can practice this technique to the extreme, and the assassin's martial arts can be practiced to a very strong level, they have a weakness, because they do not sweat, they cannot adapt to long fights, which will cause them to die of overheating. ”
"I see," Li Tianhao suddenly realized, and said: "Then why can you find them, but we can't?" ”
As he drank the last pot of wine, he wiped his mouth and said, "That's because I, Xenas have night vision, they lurk in the shadows, but they are as obvious in front of me as if they were naked in the sun." How's that, now you know how good I'm doing, right? ”
"That's true, I learned today that Xenas has such an ability." Li Tianhao sighed.
With a smug face, Xenas spat out a mouthful of wine commensurate with his stature. (To be continued......)
