Act XLVII. Assassinate His Excellency the Speaker

February 28.

Greenwich.

In the Pan-Western Sea Council Chamber.

Speaker Randolph Woodstock is a man with long blond shawl hair and dark blue eyes.

He has thick lips and some features of the Pan-Western South inhabitants.

Forty-seven-year-old Randolph Woodstock became the speaker of the Pan-Western Sea Council seven years ago, replacing the former speaker who was impeached and ousted because of the abyssal relics out of control case.

Of course, in reality, the speaker of the Pan-Western Sea Council may not have much real power in his own right.

In addition to being able to control the central consortium, manage the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences, and have the command of the army, the authority of the speaker is not much different from the big capitalists behind the big conglomerates, and even at the beginning of the establishment of the Pan-Western Sea, due to the prosperity of the private armed forces of the consortia, the combat effectiveness of the military under the parliament may not be as strong as those consortia, which leads to the situation of division of the powers.

However, the position of Speaker is still coveted by many people.

It's not just about profit, it's about fame.

Even if the power of the consortium is monstrous, in the end, history will remember the chairman of the council for one term after another, not the directors of the consortium.

Therefore, running for Speaker has become the ultimate goal of many consortium bigwigs and parliamentarians.

Sitting in this position, Randolph Woodstock is not having a good time.

"Your Excellency, about the matter of Alexandria tomorrow......"

A secretary handed over the paperwork, which was a preliminary plan for the entrapment of the ABC serial killers on board the cruise ship Tesis that will take place tomorrow in the harbor of Alexandria.

Due to the principle of confidentiality, the plan does not have a detailed staffing and action plan, only a brief introduction.

Speaker Randolph glanced at it briefly.

"I should not be there, I can leave these matters to General Yegor, who should carry out his mission around Alexandria."

He said in a deep voice, handing the documents back to his secretary.

"Anything else?"

Seeing that the secretary had not left, Speaker Randolph asked again.

"One more thing, about the ...... of the Academy of Natural Sciences"

The secretary handed over another document.

Speaker Randolph's expression darkened a little, and then he took the document and glanced at it casually.

But his gaze suddenly froze.

"This document shouldn't be here."

Speaker Randolph said in a gentle voice.

He looked up at the secretary.

The information on this document is about brainstorming, about the autonomous consciousness of alchemy dolls, and how to break through the three laws of alchemy dolls, all of which are research projects privately conducted by Speaker Randolph, and are inhumane secrets.

In other words, something that is absolutely impossible for these secretaries to touch.

"Yes, are there any questions, Your Excellency?"

The secretary suddenly became flustered, as if he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"Huh?"

Speaker Randolph put down his pen and spoke in a deep voice.

"I declare that no illusion shall exist."

Click-

In an instant, the space around Speaker Randolph shattered, and the palatial office was suddenly reduced to ruins, sand and dust, and desolation.

At that moment, the secretary suddenly discarded the document in his hand and stepped forward, as if holding some sharp weapon in his hand, towards Speaker Randolph.

In the confetti flying in the sky, Speaker Randolph felt that the seemingly ordinary assassin seemed to have great power, and he must not be stabbed by the invisible dagger, so he took a step back, and countless tall stone pillars appeared around him, replacing the desert and ruins.

A round, tall and magnificent square appeared on the earth.

The plaza directly cut off the space between Speaker Randolph and the secretary, leaving him out.

Speaker Randolph directly opened his own field!

In this circular square full of classical architectural aesthetics, Speaker Randolph did not take it lightly.

"Who will be the assassination against me...... The level of detail of this illusion was not even aware of it at first, was it in a dream? ”

Speaker Randolph knew that the one who could make himself as a demigod fall into a dream without consciousness must be an ascender of the same level, or rely on an abyss relic at the demigod level, and there are not many people who can have such power.

This dream realm is probably the demigod realm that the other party has unfolded, and if it stays for a long time, it may fall into a deeper trap.

"So, they just handed me the materials to make sure I knew about those things?"

Speaker Randolph has seen the methods of the Destiny Archetype Ascenders, who use dreams to create familiar scenarios for their subjects, and then induce them to tell secrets that they would not normally tell.

Just now, using the secretary's prompt, Speaker Randolph instinctively remembered the content of the research project he was leading, mapped it into the dream, and was confirmed that he was indeed aware and at the core.

Very clever application.

Speaker Randolph commented.

It's just that they want to assassinate themselves directly, which seems too ideal.

No one can assassinate a demigod in Greenwich, Pan-Western Sea.

"I declare that there is nothing hidden in all concealment."

Speaker Randolph whispered, and with his declaration, the smoke and dust that filled the entire grand square suddenly dissipated, and the shadows receded, and a man stood in the corner.

He wore a long black cloak, black hair, and on his face, he wore a pure white mask that did not contain anything except the two slits in his eyes.

The Faceless!

Speaker Randolph naturally knew that this perpetrator was currently second only to the ABC serial murderers in the Pan-Western Sea.

This is an assassin who has killed several Ascenders, and it seems that there is a certain dispute with the Sandtooth Consortium, but for Speaker Randolph, this is just an ordinary Ascender, and there is no need to pay attention to it.

However, he actually appeared in front of him and tried to assassinate himself?

What a crazy move!

Speaker Randolph was vigilant and saw the Faceless disappear in place, and the next moment, appear beside him.

Some level of fast-moving ability?

At the same time, he thought, the ground in front of him cracked, and white marble pillars stood out between Speaker Randolph and the Assassin.

At this moment, Speaker Randolph suddenly felt a wave of burnout.

It was as if I had lost all my fighting spirit, as if there was no longer any meaning in living, and I just wanted to put down everything I had, lie on the ground, and wait quietly for the end of time.

Speaker Randolph quickly sensed the subtle effect on himself, which caused his movements to pause for a moment, allowing the Faceless to continue to flicker and round the marble pillar and come behind Speaker Randolph.

"I declare that all sneak attacks will fail."

However, at this time, Speaker Randolph whispered, and the Faceless One's attack actually happened to subtly stagger Speaker Randolph's body, passing by him.

Seizing the gap, Speaker Randolph raised his hand.

He clenched his fists, and some kind of illusory golden armor appeared on Speaker Randolph's fist, enveloping it.

Bang –

The fist slammed into the Faceless, sending it flying backwards.

But before the assassin could fly out completely, Speaker Randolph grabbed the opponent's clothes directly and smashed the fist of his other hand into it.

Bang Bang Bang –

The sound of breaking the sky exploded, and the Faceless One was like a small ship in a storm, constantly bombarded by continuous fists, and it seemed that it was about to shatter.

No, it's broken!

The body was torn to pieces and splattered everywhere.

"Huh?"

Speaker Randolph halted his attack, and at the same time, beyond the suit and leather shoes, golden armor shrouded him.

In the huge and magnificent square, countless phantoms appeared.

"Do you want to kill a demigod with this level of ability?"

The phantoms, as you can see, were all gladiators in chain mail, with shields in one hand and swords in the other, tall and valiant in number, some riding horses, spears and spears, galloping across the land.

For a moment, a huge battle cry sounded throughout the square, with horses' hooves galloping and swords and halberds staggered.

And Bai Ge was being pulled out of the huge square by Koluwa at this time.

"Randolph Woodstock's sixth-order name is an old emperor who was posthumously made a god and possessed divinity, and it is very difficult to defeat him in a one-on-one battle."

In this dream world, Kluwa's voice could reach Bai Ge's heart even without opening his mouth.

Bai Ge also quickly recalled the previous battles, and grasped several abilities that Randolph Woodstock had shown.

It is his own demigod realm, he can completely dominate all the creations in the realm, and has a stronger positional combat ability than the creator's prototype, and at the same time, all his other abilities in this realm will be strengthened.

It is to create a huge army that can last for a period of time, and each of these armies has the physical fitness equivalent to the second-order ascender of the hero archetype, and a small number of "generals" also have certain extraordinary abilities.

As for the "Manifesto", it is Randolph Woodstock's third demigod ability, which can temporarily overturn existing things and limit the abilities of the ascender, but again, the rules of this manifesto will also limit Speaker Randolph, and there is a limit to the number.

According to Kluwa's estimates, in the case of expanding the demigod realm, Speaker Randolph could support seven declarations at once.

In short, a rather difficult enemy.

"We went according to plan."

Bai Ge nodded.

"Well, sometimes I really think you're crazy."

Coluva sighed and blew lightly into his palm.

A brilliant rainbow light appeared, enveloping Bai Ge.

The next moment, Bai Ge reappeared in the magnificent square.

For a moment, all the soldiers cast their eyes on Bai Ge, and almost without time to react, the soldiers who formed a phalanx threw their spears.

Spears rained down towards Bai Ge.

Since concealment has been banned, Bai Ge's can't use it, he can only throw the invisible dagger and then use the transfer.

Bang Bang Bang –

The spear fell to the ground and exploded like a cannonball, bursting in the square, flying rubble and rubble, kicking up dust, but suddenly, the dust quickly fell back to the ground.

Bai Ge could be seen constantly flashing his body, approaching Speaker Randolph in a roundabout way.

However, with just a glance at Speaker Randolph, dozens of soldiers with rectangular shields stood between him and Bai Ge, building a barrier.

This barrier is not only the defense of the shield, but also has some conceptual implications, which is limited, and Bai Ge, who is unable to carry out a sneak attack, has an intuition that he cannot break through the defense of these shields head-on.

On the other side, the cavalry on tall horses held spears and charged, the cold light was clear, and the next moment they were about to use their iron hooves to break through Bai Ge's position.

Whoosh –

Bai Ge found the gap in the attack, and flexibly used his physical fitness and transfer position to dodge the attack.

Little by little, he finally came to the front of the shield wall, and was only five meters away from Speaker Randolph.

Bai Ge didn't use it rashly, but a black, illusory flame burned on his face.

A mask emerges beneath the faceless one's face.

Bai Ge's speed increased suddenly, and at the same time, a little rainbow light appeared in his left hand, which originally had nothing.

In an instant, the soldiers holding rectangular shields were distorted by some kind of force, and a huge gap appeared.

Bai Ge drilled through the void, and despite the sharp blades around him, he didn't retreat, allowing those blades to cut through his body.

Blood splattered, and Bai Ge stepped forward and came to within three meters of Speaker Randolph.

This is the perfect time.

Speaker Randolph narrowed his eyes slightly, this was the time he was waiting for.

When the Assassins thought they had broken through their defenses and were about to succeed, Speaker Randolph launched the counterattack.

Because, he is the ascender of the hero archetype.

It is the type that is best at fighting among the five archetypes!

In Speaker Randolph's hand, he had a one-handed broadsword and a round shield, his whole body was heavily armored, and his golden armor shone brightly.

He stepped forward and faced Bai Ge, the scarlet flame covering the blade of Speaker Randolph's sword, it was the fire of revolution, the flame of revenge.

Bang –

In an instant, crimson flames bloomed from between the broadsword and the round shield like the roar of a dragon, devouring Bai Ge's figure.

Speaker Randolph saw that the Assassin's body was burned, burned, and dissipated like ashes.

The world around him shattered, and Speaker Randolph's body returned to the garden of his villa on the outskirts of Greenwich, as if he had just taken a nap.

"Who's ......?"

Speaker Randolph frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he stood up and prepared to go to the Pan-Western Sea Academy of Natural Sciences.

Let's strive for a double shift from next Monday~
