Chapter 337: The 'No. 1 Assassin in the World'
Lulu rescued all night, and both "Little Titan" Thor and [God Thorn] Arno survived.
However, there were some minor surprises.
"What, you said that Arno was a female assassin?"
To everyone's surprise, under the hood that this "No. 1 assassin in the world" has never revealed, there is a beautiful face that is indifferent.
Hearing the news, Raymond was also surprised.
Because no one has ever seen her true face, even in the late game, players have always assumed that Arno is a male assassin, but absolutely no one thought that she was actually a woman!
"Yes, Captain."
Lulu on the side nodded, glanced at him a little puzzled, and said, "I thought you knew." β
In the eyes of everyone in the "Ghost Regiment", Captain Raymond is the kind of "prophet" who should know everything.
After a pause, the eldest son continued: "Her injuries are serious. Even though I've taken care of the trauma and cracks in her organs, I can't stop her from passing away. There was a very powerful 'curse' that was eating away at her life, causing her organs to fail rapidly... I predicted that at this rate, she would live for a month at most. β
"She's going to die?"
Raymond frowned slightly as he listened.
Although he was surprised that this [God Assassin] Arno was a woman, he didn't want to die like this by a "soul slave" that he had managed to "capture" with great difficulty.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, take me to see it." β
......
In Lulu's medical laboratory, Raymond walked in alone.
On the dissecting table, a woman wearing black assassin leather armor was being tied with five flowers. At this moment, the hood she was wearing had been removed, revealing a delicate and flawless face. Her skin is dark blue, smooth and delicate, with pointed erect ears and a delicate nose... By all indications, this is a half-blood dark elf.
In the Great Voyage game, the dark elves are an evil race, and they are also the race that is best at killing. Legend has it that their ancestors were a fallen bloodline banished by the ancient High Elves, a greedy, ruthless marauder.
The game has a background introduction to this race, after the dark elves were banished, they found the "Well of Darkness", one of the "three sacred springs", and gave up their belief in the goddess of nature, gained the power of the night, and gradually became this dark complexion. The Dark Bloodline talent he gained from the Well of Darkness allowed them to easily master a variety of stealth assassination techniques.
This race is also a natural "assassin" race.
"It's a dark elf... No wonder her stealth ability is so outstanding, it turns out to be a bloodline gifted ability. β
Raymond looked at Arno in front of him, who was still in a coma, and his expression was slightly solemn.
Because she has become her own "soul slave", the system layout now shows a lot of detailed data.
The reason why Raymond dared to keep her alive and face it alone was also because of the full point of "loyalty" attribute displayed on this panel!

Explanation: This is a pinnacle assassin's stats panel; She is a half-elf with strong dark elf blood;
"Tsk... Almost all epic, the legendary NPCs in the game really live up to their name. β
Raymond looked at the data-based equipment, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.
A full set of top-level assassin extraordinary, which even in the original game, the top heroes did not have such extravagant equipment.
In the game, if you can push off a legendary boss of this level and explode one or two pieces of equipment at random, rogue professional players can take off.
However, even before he crossed over, this elusive [God Thorn] Arno had never been pushed away.
She's a true killing machine, a top-tier assassin who is a nightmare for any transcendent. A knife for a child, this is the ending that countless deadly players in the game have tried with their lives.
Arno's "only epic" equipment is also something that a little booster like Raymond once dreamed of breaking out in the game.
But now, they are all quietly laid out in front of them, at their fingertips.
"Whew... In case it can't be used by me, it's not a loss to kill and pull out the equipment. β
Raymond looked at her luxurious assassin gear and swallowed.
He wasn't sure if that "soul enslavement" was really fully effective, so he went into the lab alone. In case the top assassin wakes up and shows hostility, he is alone, and he is so hot.
"Whew... I hope the skill manual doesn't pit me. β
Even if the multi-flowered steel and iron locks firmly encased Arnold, they couldn't give Raymond any sense of security. For a top-tier assassin, this kind of physical lock, getting out of trouble is only a matter of moments.
He prayed in his heart, and slowly pushed the "sobering potion" into her neck.
After a while, the "No. 1 assassin in the world" slowly opened his eyes.
It was a pair of dark and clear eyes, shining like black gems, deep like the starry sky on a summer night. With her flawless pretty face, this is really amazing.
"Huh?"
Arno woke up, his eyes full of doubt.
She looked at herself trapped on the dissecting table, and looked slightly surprised. But when she looked at the expressionless Raymond again, her face suddenly calmed down.
"No hostile prompts!"
Raymond quietly looked at the system to confirm that there was no hostility. He didn't see any killing intent from those beautiful faces, but he had a kind of "let the king ravage" meekness?
"Lord... Master... Am I? β
Arno seemed to be a little awkward about the title of "master", but in her mind, she couldn't find a more suitable title.
"You're badly wounded, and I'm helping you heal."
Raymond's face was not red, and he opened his eyes and said nonsense.
In front of this situation, anyone would definitely be suspicious.
Do you need to play "bondage" for treatment?
Or is it a dragon tendon rope and an iron lock?
Why am I stupid?!
But this Arno seemed to really believe Raymond's nonsense, and nodded, with a docile expression on his face.
"You can also call me 'Captain'..."
Raymond always felt a little ashamed to hear the word "master", especially when she shouted in a crisp and soft voice, which always made people unconsciously think of some island country action movie housemaid series.
Not to mention, this woman's original voice was quite nice.
"You're still very weak, don't be angry."
At this time, after Raymond made sure that there was no fluctuation in the two data of "Loyalty" and "Hostile Reminder", he untied the binding devices on Arno's body step by step.
"Thank you, Lord... The captain saved me. β
Arno seems to have completely forgotten his identity as the terrifying god-killing transcendent person, but is really like a loyal personal maid, with a delicate expression, meek eyes, and a calm tone...
Could it be that she has lost her memory?
Raymond's eyes rolled, and he guessed in his heart.
Looking at her obedient appearance, she doesn't look like the ruthless [God Assassin].
Thinking of this, he asked, "You are very badly injured, and you may have impaired memory... I ask you, do you remember who you are? Remember who you are? β
Without hesitation, Noah said, "My name is 'Arno Dorian', and I am the captain's most loyal servant. I am also the captain of the World Treasury CP9, codenamed 'NO.2'..."
No amnesia?
Raymond's face changed slightly when she heard this, since she remembered everything, why was she not at all hostile to herself now?
She is a top assassin, and the maid who became a sequence 5 rookie didn't have the slightest psychological resistance, and didn't notice the slightest unreasonableness?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the description of the "devout believers" under the seat of the evil gods recorded in Hayens's notes, and said in his heart: "This [Soul Slavery] skill is really a terrifying ability." Indeed, as mentioned in Hayens's notes, it can distort people's 'cognition' from the soul! What I am saying now is 'truth' to Arno, and she can never question the truth. β
He pondered for a moment, to make sure that Arno really remembered everything.
Raymond asked again, "Do you remember why you came to this ship?" β
Arno said truthfully: "I was injured and cursed when I assassinated the chief of the 'Mountain Tribe' of the Giant Clan, [Black Mountain] Lut, when I assassinated the Giant Clan's 'Mountain Tribe' chieftain [Black Mountain] Lut... Then I got it from CP9's intelligence network, and there was a senior doctor's 'Lulu Β· Y. Fritz Niro's was nearby, so I came here to treat my injuries. β
Hearing this, Raymond was not much surprised.
This captain of CP9 is definitely not here for their "ghost pirates".
But to his surprise, how could CP9's intelligence network know that the "Golden Ghost" was hiding in this sea area?
Thinking about this, he asked again, "How does CP9's intelligence system know the exact location of our 'Ghost Pirates'?" β
Arno said calmly: "Because there is a Grade A target of A-class concern on the master's ship, 'Nono Mirnavi Nicole', she was a very important figure in the 'Ancient Weapon Loss Incident' in Hex City. 'NO.9' followed her to investigate for a long time, and before choosing to evacuate, he left the locator and submitted the report of the 'Ghost Pirates' to the headquarters intelligence system... As long as the CP9 members have enough permissions, they can be retrieved. β
"I see!"
When Raymond heard this, his eyes showed a surprise, but at the same time, he was also shocked, it turned out that their whereabouts were actually controlled by the World Government at any time.
And this question, they actually have five hidden positioning devices on the ship!
And not only that, but Nicole also has some kind of high-level alchemy mark left on her body!
This thought is really creepy. If one day the World General Government was going to wake up and clear them, wouldn't it be possible to locate the location of their 'ghost group' in minutes and send someone to kill them?
"Master, you don't have to worry too much."
Noah seems to have gradually gotten used to the title of "master".
Although she looks submissive, she is also very intelligent.
She obviously understood what the melancholy between Raymond's eyebrows meant, and explained very thoughtfully: "This is a super new positioning device [Sky Eye] developed by the World General Secretariat. This mark is expensive to manufacture, and CP9 is only used for certain important people. At present, this secret positioning method is not known to outsiders, so it is only used to collect information, and it will not be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary. And there are very few people who have the authority to dispatch this kind of 'S-class' top-secret information..."
"That's right..."
Raymond thought about it.
The CP9, a device like "GPS global positioning", was not exposed until he crossed over, and must have been a top-secret intelligence gathering method deliberately hidden by the world government.
If it's really used to locate and kill pirates or something, it's a bit overkill.
And after using it a few times, it will be found greasy by those who are interested.
When the time comes, the people who oppose the government organization will really be on guard, and no matter how cutting-edge technology is, they will not be able to hide. This top-secret positioning method developed by the world government at a great expense is also meaningless.
However, what surprised Raymond even more was that the current captain of CP9, Arnold, didn't seem to have any psychological burden at all for his betrayal of the organization? Easily told yourself the top secret of CP9?
With such a "news library" at the level of the captain of the CP9 headquarters, wouldn't a lot of top-secret information from the world headquarters be exposed under his nose?
It has been calculated by the world government with a super information network, and now, there is finally a breakthrough to break into the enemy's interior!
It is estimated that even the top management of the World General Government would never have thought that there would be a senior member of the CP9 captain level, who was rebelled by Raymond with almost the same soul imprint method!
......
In order to confirm that Arno was really following his own words, Raymond began to inquire about certain "sensitive events" that he knew the outcome of.
This question really made him sure that this Noah was "absolutely loyal" to himself!
Except for the incident that Arnold, the captain of CP9, really didn't know, she told almost everything Raymond asked, no matter how confidential, without reservation.
Gradually,
Raymond also fully believed in his "soul slave".
"I don't know much about the plan to assassinate the chief of the 'Mountain Tribe' this time. Each operation was planned and arranged by the staff office of the headquarters, and I only acted on orders... But in our intelligence, we did know for a long time that the 'mountain tribes' would come to raid. β
"[War Emperor] is not a member of our CP9, but I have had a few joint missions with their captains. I'm sure that their head of regiment has close ties with the top of the World Government..."
"The captains of CP9 know very little about each other, and we all have our own 'disguised identities' on weekdays. The operation will be assembled only after receiving an order from the headquarters ... As for the other members, I know the identities of some of them..."
"The location of the headquarters is in XX, and the country of giants has three A-class dark spots, eight B-class liaison offices... There are a lot of masters in the headquarters, and some of them are very tricky existences that I also find very tricky. β
"We joined CP9 and went to the headquarters to have a swearing-in ceremony... As far as I know, whether it's the Navy or CP9, new members will swear allegiance to the 'Statue of Justice' when they join..."
β...β
This conversation also made Raymond clear a lot of "secrets".
It turns out that CP9, which has always been called an "unsolved mystery", actually exists in such a tight organizational structure.
Even the captain-level figure of CP9 is not fully aware of the operation of the entire organization.
There is a special staff department at the CP9 headquarters to issue orders, which is a super authority that directly contacts the General Staff Office of the World General Staff.
It's okay if you don't understand this,
As soon as he understood, Raymond suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Noah's mouth tells a very terrifying fact, that is, the world government has been deeply entrenched in the world of great exploration!
They have infiltrated almost all the large and medium-sized forces in the Endless Sea, the Revolutionary Army, the "Endless Eight Emperors", the royal families of the major kingdoms... It's intimidatingly powerful.
This long talk,
Many of the doubts that have plagued Raymond for many years have been solved.
The more inquired you are,
Raymond is also more and more able to appreciate the horror of this [Soul Mark].
The person who is controlled will really regard the master as a "god" who cannot be betrayed or disobeyed.
Even if she let this "No. 1 assassin in the world" commit suicide now, she will not hesitate to choose to carry it out.
But
Except for being completely obedient to Raymond, the "master", this [God Assassin] Arno is not unusual in other aspects, the same combat effectiveness, the same quick thinking, the same ruthlessness...
......
Chatting and chatting, Raymond also wanted to ask more about the situation.
But suddenly, an abnormal flush suddenly appeared on Arnold's face in front of him, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of turbid blood.
Raymond's expression changed slightly: "What's wrong with you?" β
"I'm sorry, master, for soiling your clothes."
She looked at Raymond and calmly stated a fact: "Master, my physical condition is terrible now, and I may not live long..."
This indifferent tone, as if it was not herself who was hurt.
Raymond frowned, "What the hell is going on?" β
Arno was clearly aware of his situation, and said, "It's the Giants' voodoo curse... When I assassinated [Montenegrin] Lot, I got his blood on it. I didn't expect him to have a 'death curse' under the voodoo priesthood. Whoever kills him will be cursed..."
Raymond looked at the status displayed on Arnold's property panel, and there was a hint of "Funeral Flower Curse".
He frowned, as if he had thought of something.
Silent for a moment,
Raymond ordered: "You take off your clothes, I'll help you check your body... Belch... Injury. β
