Chapter 6 This Is a Conspiracy
By the time the stars on the heavenly dome began to show, everything on the plains had fallen into a deep sleep.
On an arched high slope, the air fluctuated for no apparent reason, as if a pebble had been thrown down on the calmest lake, and the ripples in circles were clearly visible, and in it, several figures gradually loomed from blurred to clear.
One of them, a tall man, said in a deep voice, "Is that him?"
A thin shadow said respectfully, "Captain, it's him." ”
The tall man looked down at the place where a few bonfires were flashing not far away, and there were more than a dozen cars surrounded by mounds where the bodies were buried, and some scattered tents around, and the traces of fierce fighting during the day seemed to be clearly visible.
"Ready to do it," the tall man glanced left and right at the four subordinates beside him, his words lifted everyone's spirits, and after a few days of sneaking and tracking, they had roughly figured out the true power of the target, and now it was time to act.
The tall man looked down again, the guild gave him a detailed look down, except for saying that this person was a priest, nothing else was revealed, he knew that this was the assassination protection regulations in effect, when one party wanted to bribe the thieves' guild to assassinate a target, if the target had paid protection money in the union, then the person's information transparency would be limited to the greatest extent.
Whether it's actions or specialties, or habits and hobbies, these need to be collected and completed by the thieves who received the task.
None of this matters, though.
Because they were lucky enough to see a show where they didn't have to spend any more time spying on.
The battle during the day was still vivid, and in that life-and-death situation, it was impossible to retain strength.
At best, the target is just a priest with low-level swordsmanship, although he has a quick mind and quick reactions, but the tall man thinks that this is reasonable, if the other party is just a mediocre person, how can it be worth spending a lot of money to assassinate?
However, that's the end of it.
Under the surprise assassination of his team tonight, he should be able to end this mission easily, and then calmly retreat.
To be on the safe side, the tall man still left a man on the periphery, as is customary, and then he took two of his subordinates and divided them into three directions to touch the carriage they had already confirmed.
Not only are they moving fast in the dark, but they are also silent and light as tanuki.
As they approached the convoy, their forms began to become illusory, and finally turned from virtual to real, faintly blending into the air.
The fire in the middle of the convoy crackled and burst from time to time, as if to warn people that danger was approaching at any time, but this weak confession was destined to go unnoticed.
If someone were standing outside at this moment, they would see that the curtains of several carriages seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand, revealing a gap, and then hanging down again, as if an invisible ghost had been bobbed in.
The tall man who entered the shadow state did not rush to make a move even when he entered the carriage, but patiently observed the figure of the person lying flat on the inside seat with a sheet, and in the process of training his men, he had warned them more than once that the dagger was unsheathed and submerged into the target's body, and there was only a blink of an eye in it, and if it was exceeded, it meant that you had failed.
During the observation, the tall man suddenly felt that something was wrong.
No matter who it was, he had to breathe rhythmically in the deep sleep, and from the time he came in, the figure had not moved, not even made a sound.
Years of intuition told him that something wasn't right!
However, instead of immediately retreating, he stepped forward and jerked open the sheet.
The corpse of a blood worm appeared ugly on the seat, and at the same time, he heard the screams of his subordinates, and he did not panic at this moment, but listened attentively.
The man who laid the trap must have been waiting for him outside the carriage.
He calmly wrapped the sheet around the corpse again, then moved to the entrance of the carriage, pushed the corpse out, and then ran out himself.
Before he could be satisfied with his precarious arrangement, he let out a roar of rage, and several spears piercing him from different angles had pierced his abdomen and thighs, nailing him firmly to the wall of the carriage!
In the astonished gaze of the surrounding knights, from the place where the blood came, a shadow-like figure was panting and transforming from a virtual into a substance.
One of the knights turned around and said, "Priest Langton, you are not wrong at all, someone has come to assassinate Lord Lord tonight. ”
One by one, the red torches lit up and reflected at Luo Lan's feet, and he calmly walked to the front of the carriage and stood still.
The tall man's heart was cold, he had no health tonight, he glanced at Luo Lan carefully, as if he wanted to take the other party's figure to hell together, and finally sighed: "I lost, but I want to ask you a question." ”
Luo Lan watched the blood flowing from under his feet fall to the ground drop by drop, shrugged and said, "Just ask, you don't have much time." ”
The tall man didn't seem to care at all, and he said clearly: "Before I acted, I saw very clearly, these people were obviously sleeping in the tent outside the convoy, how did they suddenly appear next to the carriage in such a short time?"
Luo Lan waved his hand, and several knights glanced at each other, and each retreated into the distance, revealing a wide field of vision.
From the tall man's point of view, there were several mounds that had been torn open, and he was suddenly a little stunned, but at the same time a little puzzled, and when his eyes fell on the delicate armor of those knights, he finally understood completely.
The other party took advantage of the time to bury the corpse, let a few knights put on the magic armor and mix it in and bury it again, covered with soft sand, due to the magic breath of the armor, they will not suffocate at all, and their own team is too far away to observe these details when observing, no wonder these mounds where the corpses are buried will be in the middle of the convoy, and they are piled so high.
While solving the mystery, he couldn't help but be confused.
With such an ingenious layout, is the other party really a priest?
Luo Lan didn't give him time to think about the answer anymore, he took a step forward, his eyes opened, and a strange light came out of it, as soon as he came into contact with that gaze, the tall man immediately spun around, and then he was no longer able to support his body, and slowly slipped down, allowing the spear body to hang him on the wall of the car.
Luo Lan closed his eyes and stood silently for a moment, then opened his eyes again.
Hmph, sure enough, someone sent by the Thieves' Guild.
However, he also knew that due to the strict organization of the guild, he would not be able to find the real answer from this group.
It was enough for him to know that there was indeed a plot against him.
As early as a few days ago, Luo Lan had an inexplicable feeling, as if he was being secretly observed, but this feeling appeared from time to time, and he was not very sure at first, so even when fighting with the Blood Earthworm Man, he did not use any magic and thief moves, just to guard against the conspiracy that may appear at any time.
This so-called lord conspiracy incident was also his deliberate exaggeration of Belier, linking several things together that seemed to be reasonable, resulting in the so-called conspiracy theory. But if there is a person who knows this well, then he will find that Luo Lan's words are full of flaws, and he can only deceive the Belle sisters and brothers.
The so-called division of soldiers into two ways is just that Luo Lan privately wants to keep most of the knights to be used by himself willingly.
He had been misleading the knights into believing that the thieves were here to assassinate their lords, and then set a trap to eradicate the ghosts that followed them.
This is the art of thieves, the setting of traps is not limited to the environment and tools, but also uses all the people and things around them to their advantage.
Luo Lan suddenly laughed as if he had thought of something, he once said in front of Belil's sister and brother: This is a conspiracy!
He didn't lie.
This is indeed a conspiracy.
