Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Abyssal Gate! Chapter 65: Assassination
XX, I kindly remind you that we will have an agreement with the Dark Council to hear about this mission. [No pop-ups.]"
The thief in black leather armor sat expressionlessly, and it is worth mentioning that there was a mark on his chest, the scythe of the blood moon, which is now the power has infiltrated the middle continent.
The Doomsday Guild, which completely replaces the Guild of Sin.
Jean didn't say much, just put a bag of gold coins on the table.
Deep down, she didn't really want to find this person who didn't even dare to show her face, but she knew that she would never be able to deal with Landiston with her own strength, but with this person, she could.
Because he is the vice president of the Doomsday Guild.
Kill the master thief Mersendol.
"You probably don't know much about our guild. ”
Mersendor didn't change his attitude because of the weight of the bag, he didn't even show the interest to take a second look, "I won't take the money directly, each of our tasks is taken over by the guild and assigned in detail to each suitable thief."
When I took this business, I robbed the other thieves of their business.
Broke the rules. ”
"You're a master of killing, and your goals are strong.
I couldn't find one I could trust better. ”
Jean is not a person who likes to talk a lot, but her meaning is very clear.
First, the strength of the target is amazing, second, he needs his cooperation, and third, there is no more suitable person nearby.
Of course, Mersendol wouldn't be bored enough to ask why the masters of the Council of the Dead didn't cooperate with her.
He didn't speak immediately, but thought about it, and after a while, he said, "It's a pity that I'm on a guild's mission, and I haven't gotten the patron's request documents, and the small way of dealing with the situation that has not been specified in the agreement in advance is really difficult for me." ”
Jean stopped talking, and she got up to leave.
"Wait a minute, please. ”
Mersendall waved his hand and made a gesture for her to sit down.
said with a smile: "This matter is not non-negotiable. ”
Qin looked at him suspiciously, didn't the words just now have been rejected very obviously?" "Hehe, it seems that Your Excellency the Swordsman didn't often deal with us thieves before. ”
Mersendor didn't know when there was an extra gold coin in his hand, he shook it and said, "According to the rules of the guild, my words are correct, because as a member of the guild, I will not violate the rules, but I have another identity, as the vice president of the Doomsday Guild, I can accept this business in a private capacity."
But it has nothing to do with the guild, and the pay is twice as much."
Mersendor stretched out two fingers and shook them, "Don't think I'm charging a high price, because when I take over this business, it means that the guild will take a small amount of money, so half of it is reserved for the guild, and the remaining half is my own." ”
Having said this, it seems that Mersendor is still unwilling to stop, and says, "One last request.
I need you to write an essay.
It must be noted that this mission is a condition strongly imposed by your Council of the Dead, so that I can give the guild a positive explanation.
As for the objectives of this mission.
I didn't investigate in detail beforehand.
The weakness of the other party.
Strength,Strengths are all lack of information.,So I don't guarantee success.,Even if the goal is wrong, I'm not responsible.,After the mission is over, regardless of success or failure.,I won't pay you back the money.。 ”
Jean immediately understood what the shrewd thief meant, and that the words were just an excuse to get more paid.
But that's the so-called.
As long as you can achieve your goal, completely eliminate the enemy of the dark forces.
The price is worth it, and she is even willing to give more.
She neatly took out two bags of gold coins from the space ring, threw them on the table, and said, "Three times, take out all your strength." ”
"Good!" Mersendor put away the three bags of gold coins without hesitation, and stood up and said solemnly, "I will do my best" He smiled, took out a piece of parchment letterhead, placed it on the table, and said, "As long as you can write the paper I need again."
We can act at any time, and since we are his personal patron, he doesn't mind adding a little honorific.
Picking up the quill pen on the table, under the guidance of the thief, the piano quickly wrote the letter and signed his name.
"Very well, with it I have a basis for action. ”
Mersendol blew dry the ink on the parchment letter, rolled it up and baked it with fire paint, and, at his request, Jean imprinted the emblem on the hilt of his sword.
"Now we can talk about the specifics of this business. ”
He sat down again, his expression sharpened and cold, "We need to assassinate a bishop of the Holy See, and this is not an easy task, because I know little about him, and Jean is silent.
In the absence of the support of the Council of the Dead.
She also had no more information.
Therefore, it is more important to rely on the experience of this "expert" in front of you.
Mersendor seemed to smile, and though his face was covered, his laughter was so hoarse and harsh each time that it was impressive.
His tone changed and he said, "Naturally, we have our own way of dealing with this situation.
It can greatly increase the success rate of the task.
It's just a matter of your unstoppable cooperation.
Otherwise, the result would be unpredictable, and Jean didn't have any opinion, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
Mersendor was slightly surprised, he had expected that this cold and arrogant woman would at least argue.
I didn't expect such cooperation, since this is the case, things will be much easier.
"We are a guild of thieves, and we rely not only on our force but also on our heads to deal with our prey.
Rely on a lot of tools.
Like this one".
He took out a green spar, tossed it in his hand, and said, "Don't underestimate this thing, it contains a strange gas stored in it.
As soon as we throw it out, it can cover a range of 30 meters, and the line of sight is not visible at all, and more importantly, it is impossible to see through.
It has a very peculiar spicy smell, and Xiao Mei Ping Yun is not prepared.
As long as the flame is not prepared, then it is said to breathe into.
The roar will cough and sneeze incessantly, and if you want to speak, it will only exacerbate the gas that will burrow into your body, and it can silence most legal professions. ”
Jean looked at the hedron thoughtfully, and she could easily judge what kind of role such a thing could play in camouflage and interference.
"Of course, we have more than that, and since we have to cooperate, I naturally want to familiarize you with it. ”
Mersendor smiled, and he took out two more scrolls and placed them on the table, "Reinforcement of the webs." ”
The reason why I say this is because after a spider web is released, it is either purified by the priest, or blown away by the mage, or separated by the knight's fighting spirit, but at the beginning this is the favorite spell used by the black elf mages, because they have the talent of "shadow shift" that can be used with this spell.
However, the sealed spider web technique was obviously not so simple, and Jean immediately heard the difference from the name.
"Reinforcement of the spider web, once it works.
It doesn't wrap around your feet, it wraps around your whole body, like "Mersendor adjusted his words.
"It's like a cocoon! ”
Jean watched silently.
As a swordsman, most of the time she relies on slashing swords to decide the outcome of the battle, but she has to admit at the moment that just these two props can determine the outcome of the battle to a certain extent.
At this time, Mersendall suddenly asked, "When do you need me to act?" "Now!" Jean stood up, and her strength could be seen in this movement alone, although she was sitting there just now, she always maintained the posture of attacking and the spirit of preparing for battle.
She jumps quickly and is on her feet in a very light position, and she can defend effectively and even counter-attack if Mersendor suddenly shoots at her.
Mersendor looked at all of this here, and he now had a certain judgment about the female swordsman.
"Oh, maybe wait. ”
Motioning for Jean to sit down, Mersendore said slowly: "Although you already know these little things, we have one more important thing to talk about, and that is about the strategy of the attack and the plan of retreat. ”
Madame Semerhill calmly walked out of the door of the room, and after walking more than ten steps, she saw the slender Countess of El Pita approaching with a horsewhip in her hand, her riding boots clattering on the stone slabs, as if she were going to make a fierce statement wherever she went.
The other party also clearly saw Mrs. Semerhill, and she unabashedly showed a kind of hostility, and Madame Semerhill was familiar with this kind of gaze.
It's the look in someone's eyes when they're about to snatch something they love.
It was only a slight blink of her eyes that she understood the purpose of the countess's visit.
"Lord Earl, I didn't expect to see you here. ”
Mrs. Semehill saluted.
Al Paita just snorted, and without looking too much, he walked past Mrs. Semehill and went straight to the other end of the room.
"Bishop Lantiston is afraid that it is not convenient for me to see you right now. ”
Semer Hilflou whispered something as she passed by, so low that only two of them could hear her.
Elphuta's footsteps stopped.
She half-turned, and looked at Mrs. Semerhill with sharp eyes, and the whip in her hand was also in the palm of her hand, as if it might be drawn at any moment.
"I've heard that the earl's equestrianism and marksmanship are top-notch.
Even the archery is good. ”
Mrs. Semehill's voice was loud this time, so loud that it could be heard clearly by the people in the room opposite.
Elpata glanced up and down at Lady Semerhill.
Sneered: "What do you want to say?" "It's nothing, Mrs. Semehill waved her hand lightly, although she said it politely.
But her beautiful blue eyes glared at her unconvinced: "I also have some experience in archery and equestrianism, I wonder if I can ask the Earl for advice?" Although she smiled, anyone could hear the strong sense of challenge in her words.
With a "snap", the sound of the horsewhip suddenly exploded in Mrs. Semerhill's ears, and the whip even grazed her cheek, but this sudden did not make her show any fear and panic.
On the contrary, he looks very calm.
Al Paita looked at her and coldly dropped a sentence: "Come with me, start praying that you don't lose too ugly." ”
Then he turned and walked out.
Madame Semerhill looked at the countess's back and breathed a long sigh of relief, it was not easy to stop this extremely powerful woman, and it would make things worse if she tried to do it, but fortunately she had succeeded in arousing the other party's competitive spirit, at least she could delay for a while.
As she walked out of the mansion, she glanced back at the closed door.
Let's hope the project will succeed.
When the two of them had disappeared from sight, one of the attendants in the room said to the priest sitting in a chair, "My lord, they have all gone out. ”
"Okay, it's time. ”
The priest stood up suddenly.
Shen Sheng said, "It's time for us to do it." ”
He straightened out his bishop's robes.
Picking up the scepter, he pushed open the door and walked out, a long corridor that kept echoing in his ears, and in a trance, he seemed to feel that he had truly become the owner of this robe.
Just as he sank into this feeling.
His eyes suddenly opened, and before he knew it, he had walked to the gate of the mansion.
The two guards immediately saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency. ”
"Hmm" The priest nodded with satisfaction, he raised the staff in his hand and said, "Pass on my message" Erqi summoned the leaders of the small teahouse team and the sacrificial priest to send "Yes!" The two guards ran towards the station where the team leaders were located without hesitation.
A teleportation array of light flashed, and then the figures of Xiaoqin and Mersendor appeared almost a thousand meters outside the fortress of Worral.
"How did you have the teleportation scroll here?" Jean looked around, the distance that would have taken two hourglasses was in the blink of an eye, and this was indeed the location of her target for this operation.
Mersendor said naturally: "Don't forget what guild we are, now the largest thief guild in the Central Continent, as early as when you were talking to me, I have already asked my subordinates to come here to deal with the matter of the teleportation array." ”
Jean was taken aback, she remembered that she had only a few attendants in and out of her conversation with Mersendore, and she didn't expect that this would be able to set up a teleportation array near the target in a short period of time, and such a high efficiency had made her faintly uneasy and threatening.
Not only that, even if it was something they had just discussed, it was an eye-opener for Jean, she didn't expect in advance that it was just a simple assassination, but there were so many places to pay attention to and pay attention to, and that meticulous place took almost every emergency into account as much as possible, and this plan itself had a role in improving the confidence of the task executor.
She just needs to follow the plan step by step.
Now that night had fallen and the castle had been heightened its guards, it would not be easy for them to infiltrate the castle, but Mersendor did not seem to be worried at all.
"Follow me!" Mersendor bent over.
Like a ghost, he sneaked towards a carriage not far in front of the castle.
Jean followed closely without saying a word.
After approaching the tent, Mersendol gently tapped on the carriage a few times, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, a young man dressed in aristocratic attire walked down, he nodded at Mersendor, and said, "Everything is ready." ”
"Good. ”
Mersendor turned around and smiled at Jean, "I might have to wronged you."
We need to pretend to be two squires for the time being. ”
Qin waved his hand and said, "As long as it's beneficial to the action, I don't pay much attention to the process." ”
"You're a thing.
Persistent and results-only people. ”
Mersendall didn't forget to joke, "I'm glad I'm just your teammate now." ”
Qin also looked at him seriously twice, and said in a deep voice, "I think so too." ”
Mersendor chuckled, jumped on his horse, picked up his whip and said, "Get in the car." ”
Only then did Jean know the reason why Mersendol had been dressed in coarse linen before he came out.
The young man quickly turned and got into the carriage, and as soon as he sat down, Jean was already seated beside him, but there was some distance between the two.
The young man glanced blankly at Qin's face, and then sat there motionless.
The carriage began to move forward, and in a short time approached the castle, before stopping with a loud shout.
Then there was an argument between Mersendall and the guards outside.
The young man waited for a while.
He lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, and pointed at the guards and scolded: "You fellows, don't you know that I am from the Zaanya family? Hurry up and call your bishop out, I will duel with him! Duel, do you understand? Duel! This is a matter between our nobles!"
The guards in front of the castle glanced at each other, and they shook their heads, as if they had long been accustomed to such things.
In the past few days, they have been told that as long as they are not mages and suspicious people, when they encounter this kind of noble young masters who come to make trouble and duel, try not to offend them, and let them go, and naturally someone will clean them up.
This noble young master does not have any mana fluctuations on his body, his muscles are relaxed, even if he knows some martial arts, it is only a problem.
It's just a half-tone, as for the carriage, they also saw a woman's figure at the moment when the curtain was lifted just now, and they knew what was going on with their brains casually, so they didn't bother to pay attention to it.
"Please come in, Master Zanya. ”
The guards moved away from the barricades, and they gloated as Mersendor and his party entered the castle, and did not forget to tease: "Turn right at the gate and you will be the priest's station, I hope you have a good time." ”
Jean didn't expect them to get in so easily? The largest building in the castle was the conspicuous mansion, and the carriage quickly stopped in the open space in front of the mansion, but they didn't want to attract too much attention, so they only stopped at the edge of the building, and the angle from which it was viewed.
The young man swaggered out of the carriage and walked towards another slightly dwarf building, where it was evident that there were several other noble children who had gathered together.
"Well, you don't have to go out for a while.
I sneaked in and scouted before deciding what to do. ”
Without waiting for Jean to reply, Mersendor had disappeared from his horse without a sound.
After waiting for a while, Jean didn't wait for a reply, so she lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out.
At this time, a person wearing a high-ranking Holy See robe walked out of the official residence and immediately caught her attention.
The man stood on the high steps and seemed to have said a few words to the Templar swordsman beside him, and the two swordsmen hurriedly left it behind, while the man was still standing.
It wasn't very close, and the light was a little blurry, but her excellent eyesight could instantly recognize the face she had seen on the Cliffs of Fury!""Lundit 7 Lantiston!"" (To be continued), U
