To tell the truth, the reason why Dio gave up the original target of "fighting Autumn Wind", Baron Peter, and instead ran over to attack Viscount Boton, in addition to wanting to rob the heads of those assassins and complete the challenge task by the way, was also because he wanted to go to an underground black market to buy a bottle of contemplation potion, which he needed not much, and he could easily "borrow" it from Viscount Boton.

But now, Dio feels more and more that his idea of "killing three birds with one stone" is actually a bad idea.

This is not because of Viscount Bolton's narrative, but when Viscount Bolton says that he is not a Fallen, and that the real Fallen, Bart of the System Elf releases a new mission in time.

【Ding! 】

[Trigger B-rank Consecutive Mission: The Truth!] 】

[Mission Requirements: Successfully kill the Fallen who is hiding behind Viscount Bolton.] 】

[Reward: Antonio's Notes (Beginner).] 】

[Failure Punishment: Assassin Guild Hunt.] 】

(Things are getting more and more troublesome...... ）

His eyes swept over the system prompt, and Dio, who took over the task directly, quickly eliminated all distractions and listened carefully to Viscount Boton's narration.

“…… Three months ago, I found out that my wife was pregnant. For the sake of our children's future, I began to inquire about ways to increase the strength of the bloodline. Then, I met that person at a banquet, the intermediate magician Arudo! Regardless of his situation, Viscount Bolton told Dio everything he knew, "According to this Master Arudo, he can pass on all the power and fighting spirit of my bloodline to my children through a special inheritance ritual and through the connection between bloodlines!" In this way, although I will become an ordinary person, my child will be able to gain enough potential, and he will have a smooth path in martial arts in the future! ”

"But!" Speaking of this, a look of resentment flashed in Viscount Bolton's eyes, "According to Master Arudo, in order to maximize the chances of success of this inheritance ceremony, I must try to improve my strength as much as possible!" To do this, he gave me a magic potion. And from the first time I drank that magic potion, I felt something was wrong! That kind of magic potion can indeed improve my strength, but it comes at the cost of a lot of life force consumption! That's definitely a banned drug! ”

After a pause, Viscount Bolton spoke again: "Considering the future of my children, I still didn't choose to rebel against that Master Arudo in the end. However, I was somewhat suspicious of his true identity at first, and I also went to Mr. Eagle, the pastor of the Holy White Church, to examine Master Arudo. ”

"Mr. Iger's examination results show that Master Arudo is an ordinary magician!" Speaking of this, Viscount Bolton's eyes suddenly burned with anger, "I don't know if that Eagle was bribed or deceived by Yarudo. But your arrival has proven one thing, there must be something wrong with that Master Arudo! Because only he has the opportunity to do something to me! ”

"That's just your side of the story." Although the new mission given by the system elf Bart has shown that there is indeed another hidden story behind this matter, Dio did not believe Viscount Bolton's words, "The Assassin Guild never kills innocents indiscriminately!" But now, you are indeed wrapped with demonic aura from the Demon Realm! And the Master Arudo you call is a normal magician who has passed the inspection of the Holy White Church! So, I need proof! Prove your innocence, or prove that Master Arudo is a fallen! ”

"Evidence?" Viscount Bolton's expression suddenly became very tangled, "...... If I could find any evidence, I would have informed the White Church a long time ago, and I would have waited until now! ”

"Then it can't be helped." Dio shook his head expressionlessly, "If I can't prove your innocence, I'll have to kill you here." ”

Seeing the Hidden Blade on Dio's arm slowly stabbing into his throat, Viscount Bolton closed his eyes in despair: "What should I do, what should I do!" I could die! But I can't just die as a degenerate! Evie ......"

At this moment, as the figure of his beloved wife flashed through his mind, Viscount Bolton suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had an idea!

"Wait!" Viscount Bolton shouted loudly, and Dio's Hidden Blade stopped at his throat.

Glancing at the sharp blade in front of his neck, Viscount Bolton's eyes showed a look of sadness: "Even if I am destined to die, please let me die a little more worthwhile!" ”

Dio didn't speak, silently withdrawing his Hidden Blade.

"Can you untie me?" Viscount Bolton looked at Dio with a wry smile, "I swear to the great Lord of Light that I will never resist. ”

"Are you a believer in the Lord of Light?" Dio asked with some curiosity.

"Sort of." Viscount Bolton smiled bitterly and nodded, "Although I am also loyal to our King Majesty, this is not a contradiction. ”

"It's none of mine." Dio shook his head and pulled out the needle that had been stuck in Viscount Burton's neck. This flying needle was actually obtained from the female assassin who fell to the ground, but the toxin on the original poisonous needle had been cleaned up by Dio very casually.

I wonder if the female assassin would vomit blood in anger after learning of this.

After pulling out the flying needle, Viscount Bolton immediately regained his ability to move, and he moved his slightly numb body and slowly stood up.

After reading a lot of books in the library, Dio already knew that the people of Spera took oaths very seriously. In this world where there are gods, once you have made an oath to the gods, you must absolutely abide by it, whether you believe it or not. Otherwise, God's punishment or something is not a joke.

This is the same even for those demons in the demon world who are hostile to the gods, so Dio is not worried that Viscount Bolton will regret it. What's more, even if Viscount Bolton repented, he would only need to spend a little effort to subdue Viscount Bolton again.

However, Viscount Bolton did not mean to repent.

As soon as he regained his mobility, Viscount Bolton felt the pain coming from all over his body, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to walk to the bookshelf in front of the secret door, and removed a small box from it.

Viscount Bolton threw the box directly to Dio, then looked at Dio and said, "The box is a recording crystal, wait a minute, please help me record it." ”

(A magic version of the camera?) ）

Taking a crystal ball out of the box, Dio fiddled with the "high-tech gadget" of the wizarding world, and soon figured out the use of the recording crystal.

After leaving a magic mark on the floor, Dio activated the recording crystal and began to record the movements of Viscount Bolton, who was located on top of the magic marker.

After a sigh, Viscount Bolton got down on one knee, took the long sword in his hand, closed his eyes and began to say loudly: "I will be kind to the weak!" I will have the courage to face the strong! I will fight against all the wrong deeds! I'll fight for those who can't fight......"

After repeating the knightly declaration again, Viscount Bolton opened his eyes sharply and said loudly to the recording crystal in front of him: "O all-knowing and all-powerful Lord of Light, please bear witness to my oath!" I swear! I have never fallen! It's all a conspiracy of the mid-level magician Arudo! He is the real degenerate! If my vows are false! Ask the great Lord of Light to punish here! ”

As Viscount Bolton uttered his oath aloud, several lines of light suddenly appeared in the air behind him. These rays of light quickly formed a stick figure eye, silently staring at Viscount Bolton below.

After looking at Viscount Bolton, the eye slowly closed, and then the thread of holy light that made up the eye turned into dots of holy light and fell on Viscount Bolton's body.

There is no doubt that Viscount Bolton's oath was endorsed by the Lord of Light.

"With this, it's enough to prove your innocence, but it's a pity ......" After putting away the record crystal, Dio once again ejected the Hidden Blade on his arm.

Although these Assassin equipment were all "picked up", with the automatic adjustment of the suit, these equipment Dio was quite easy to use.

And looking at the Hidden Blade, Viscount Bolton knelt to the ground with a wry smile: "I understand, just this charge of being used by the degenerate is enough to ruin my reputation. The only solution is to cleanse my sin with my blood. Anyway, I won't live long, and it may be the best outcome to die under your Hidden Blade. ”

"Hmm." Dio nodded noncommittally and asked again very sincerely, "So, do you have any last words?" ”

"I ......" Looking at Dio's sincere eyes, Viscount Bolton's heart couldn't help but move, he took off the two rings on his left hand and threw them to Dio.

One of these two rings is engraved with the family crest of the Burton family, and the other is just an ordinary ring.

"If you can, please help me take care of my wife and children." Viscount Bolton smiled wryly and closed his eyes, "Also, please give me a good time." ”

"Don't worry." Dio put away the ring and stepped forward sharply, the Hidden Blade on his arm pointed directly at Viscount Bolton's neck, "The pain is only for a moment! ”

"Poof."

"Bang ......"

Putting away his Hidden Blade, Dio didn't even look at Viscount Bolton, who had lost his life, and went straight out of the window. And as soon as he left, there was a wave of magic in Viscount Bolton's study.

A winged eye appeared in mid-air, and after scanning the study, it fixed its gaze on the corpse of Viscount Bolton.

Inside the manor, a burst of curses suddenly sounded.
