1290 Legacy of the Assassins
After completing the simple disguise, Grint had now transformed into a black-masked Flame Assassin.
According to his deference, the people who were searching for him in the residential area should belong to the assassination force of Flamewind City.
In order to carry out this mission, Grint also learned the Flame Wind language, and it should not show flaws when speaking. As long as you manage to blend in with the enemy, you can escape!
Suppressing his inner tension and excitement, Grint walked slowly to the outside of the alley, looking around vigilantly for traces of the enemy.
Hearing footsteps not far away, Grint immediately turned around, only to see a man in black dressed similarly to himself, running past not far away, obviously searching for him.
The soldier must have seen Grint, but he didn't realize who he really was, and only took him for a companion.
"Ha ......"
Underneath Grint's black mask, let out a dull laugh and quicken his pace to run through the alley, blending into the Flamewind Army's search party.
Just when he was about to take the opportunity to escape, he almost exclaimed because he saw a short figure:
How could the lord of Flamewind be here?
Even in a dangerous situation, Grint has not forgotten the mission he was given to assassinate the Flamewind Lord. And now, the target who thought he should be hiding in the palace has also joined the search for him!
Grint, who had checked the target information many times before starting the mission, had already memorized the physical characteristics of the Flame Wind Lord in his mind, and he was sure that it was not a stand-in who appeared here, but the Lord himself!
- In other words, you may be able to complete the task here and avoid the cruel punishment of failure?
Thinking of this, Grinthe's body was about to tremble, and he pretended to be searching nearby, secretly thinking about the success rate of direct assassination:
The lord was followed by several white-clothed guards, all of whom were obviously existences with super combat effectiveness. This morning, Grint had already seen the power of the guards.
To assassinate a liege, there is only one way to do it. While the guards are not paying attention, use the crossbow to fire poisoned arrows, and you should be able to kill the lord!
It took two seconds to determine the assassination plan, and Grint, who had just hid in the alley next to him, poked his head out to check the lord's movements, but found that the child had already appeared beside him.
Boom!
A heavy kick on Grinter's calf, he fell to the ground with a crooked body, looking at the bent calf, his mouth let out a terrible wail.
- Is this guy really a lord?
The strength of the other party was so great that Grint did not expect.
At the moment when his right leg was broken, Grint's mind resurfaced the horrific memories of the torture, and then immediately made his own decision.
"Young master!"
Shen Wenchong rushed over quickly, dragged his protector aside, and stabbed the black-clothed assassin in the shoulder with a sword in his hand. Seeing the assassin's rolled eyes, Lin Chi sighed:
"Don't waste your efforts, he's dead."
The poison, which had been hidden in the mouth and was nicknamed "jelly bean" by the Assassins, had an immediate effect when it was time to take effect.
The Brotherhood Assassin committed suicide by poisoning himself after losing hope of escape. However, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Shen Wenchong still pierced the other party's heart.
Seeing that the assassin was dead, Lin Chi summoned the herald and gave the order to retreat to the assassination force that was still searching. He then searched the Assassin and found nothing that could identify him or reveal his employer.
Looking at the face under the other party's mask that seemed to be corroded by strong acid, Lin Chi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What kind of evil did he create to become this ghost?" ”
"Lord, it's time for us to leave, there may be other assassins here." Shen Wenchong reminded in a low voice.
"It's okay, Ren You has already confirmed, there are only two assassins in the Brotherhood." Lin Chi lowered his head and stared at the assassin's corpse: "As for the other crooked melons and cracked dates, they can't make any waves." ”
Although this assassin hangs up, Ren You has caught a live mouth, and he should be able to torture the information he needs.
In addition, now that these assassins have been resolved, the ongoing operation to drive out the inhabitants of the desert in the city can finally be stopped.
According to the data that Lin Chi saw from the demographic data of Flame Wind City, there were still quite a few barren sand people in the city, many of whom were engaged in business, and a small number of them were engaged in other industries.
If all these merchants are driven away, the economy of Flamewind City will also be negatively affected. After the dust settled on the assassin incident, Lin Chi also immediately issued an order to stop driving out the citizens.
With the death of the Sand King, the residents who had been forced to flee also began to return to their homes.
The engineers under the master engineer temporarily stopped digging the canal and rebuilt the houses and streets that had been destroyed by the Sand King.
At the same time, not long after Lin Chi returned to the Flame Wind Palace, he received the loot brought by Ren You's falcon.
"This was from a female assassin, and you might need it."
After reading the contents of the note, Lin Chi picked up the yellow book below, and when he saw the title of the book and the author's name, his eyes suddenly widened:
"Sand King".
George.. Martin.
"I've read this book before......"
Lin Chi let out a surprised sound, opened the book and began to read the text inside, only to find that the content in the book was written in circular characters that he couldn't read.
However, even if you can't understand the content of the book, the text introduction of this equipment has already revealed its attributes:
"Sand King".
Special props.
Item Class: Epic.
Use this book correctly to summon the son of the Sand King.
"The Sand King is George. Martin's masterpiece of short stories, mainly about...... Spoilers have been blocked, won't you watch them for yourself? ”
This is a legacy item that can be used by specific NPCs for better results.
……
"Those assassins, is that what they used to summon the Sand King?"
Realizing that he had obtained the "magic book" that could summon the desert giant scorpion, Lin Chi stuffed the thing into his backpack, wrote down a note and tied it to the eagle, and asked the falcon to bring the information to Ren You:
"Be sure to interrogate the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes."
Lin Chi didn't know if the assassins of the Brotherhood were iron and steel, he just wanted to find out who hired the assassins to go into the city to stir up trouble. Is this the work of internal traitors, or is it a malicious attack from other territories?
After waiting patiently for a long time, in the dead of night, Ren You finally sent a message:
"The Assassins were hired by Warscar."
"Hah, is that really the case......"
Lin Chi crumpled the note brought by the falcon and looked down at the dark sword leaning against the throne.
