"Deal with him, Shadow, he assassinated the King!" Slumped on the ground, seemingly urged by the explosion.

And Xia Zuo was unhurried, trying to load the paper-wrapped gunpowder into the barrel and then fill it with iron balls, "I see, the device on the butt is a flint... It does work. "The curiosity to try new weapons has crowded out the urgency to destroy the magic wall at this moment.

Nebet's words shocked the shadows, and the king was assassinated, something he could not have imagined.

"You bastards! How to protect the king! The shadow roared suddenly, and through the black mask, one could feel his mouth open and print sharp teeth, and the center of his eyebrows had folded into an angry shape.

Nebet choked for a while, seeing that the shadow had not yet launched an attack on Xia Zuo, but hesitated for a moment, and escaped into the darkness under his feet, probably about to go up.

"Remember my advice to you, Shadow, don't attack his lethal parts at will, it will be the equivalent of a counterattack," before the shadow disappeared, Nebet anxiously reminded, "You must make sure that you can dodge before giving the opponent a fatal blow." ”

If it was a shadow, he should be able to do it, as long as he hid most of his body in the shadows, and only opened fire with his hands exposed, or his usual sharp blade attacks, then the enemy's counterattack would not hurt him.

Nebet raised the corners of his mouth expectantly, looking at Xia Zuo loading weapons, relishing, but he didn't know that he was in the dark shadow of the corridor, the shadow, where the shadow was the world, and when he appeared, it was Xia Zuo's death.

Shadow has never missed, and definitely not this time.

……

It's quiet, because of the magic wall, there is no wind here, only the broken footsteps of the palace people gradually disappearing into the distance, the guards are mainly to protect the royal family, Nebet probably after the guards confirm the safety of the royal family, they will continue to support themselves, kill the assassins, they are very unreliable, Nebet has no hope.

But now... It had been two or three seconds since the shadow had escaped into the darkness, and it had never been seen again.

... Where did he go?

Xia Zuo finally finished, broke the spark device, as long as the trigger was pulled, it would detonate the gunpowder and shoot the iron ball, so he aimed at Nebet, who was still sitting on the ground in the distance, he seemed to be injured by the explosion, and he was temporarily unable to stand and run, just so he would not miss.

Nebet's eyes widened, "... Shadow!? He couldn't hold back, and cried out worriedly, but he didn't get a response, "Shadow——! ”

Originally, Nebet was not worried that he would be pursued by Xia Zuo at all, because the shadow of the speed would stop him in time, but now...

"Don't call me." The voice of the shadow suddenly sounded, and he emerged from the shadow where he had disappeared.

"What are you doing!? Not yet...! Nebet looked worriedly.

Only this time, along with the shadow, there was also his younger brother, the dwarven craftsman Meteorite.

Xia Zuo also noticed him again, and also found that the dwarf boy was holding it in both hands... Pistol?

That looks more delicate than the long gun, is it an improved version? aroused Xia Zuo's great interest, and he did not fire to kill Nebet for a while.

"Hell, the king, he lied to me," Shadow said to himself through gritted teeth, "Meteorite is in the forge workshop, and he doesn't hide when something so big happens, he knows how to fiddle with his own things." ”

"I'm almost ready to perfect it," Meteor said proudly, tapping his head reproachfully twice with the shadow, "Look at this one I've made, isn't it already smaller and more portable than the one in my brother's hand?" ”

"What are you talking about? Shadow?! Nebet roared, "Go and deal with the enemy, he has killed His Majesty!" ”

Shadow ignored Nebet's shout and glanced at Xia Zuo, seeing that the other party cast a curious look.

"Is it really you who killed the king?"

Xia Zuo nodded, and the shadow roughly judged the battle situation just now according to the scene.

"Do you need to ask him! As I said, he's the murderer, the King's Assassin! ”

As soon as Nebet finished speaking, Shadow took the meteorite's small gun and fired. The small gun was under equal force of recoil, but he could only control it with one hand, and it was difficult to resist the shadow, his muscular arms were tense, and the bullet was fired with precision—hitting Nebet's head.

Nebet's voice stopped, and he lay silently on the ground from his sitting position, and died...

This was also unexpected by Xia Zuo, and he was stunned for a while.

There was a cracking sound from the magical walls that surrounded the castle, and the giant cross slowly disappeared.

The shadow took the hand of the falling star, escaped into the dark shadow, and emerged from the darkness of the corridor where Xia Zuo was.

"I don't feel that you are hostile..."Although beside the shadow, Meteorite leaned behind him in fear, he still said to Xia Zuo without any sense of urgency.

Xia Zuo didn't fully recover from the helplessness just now, and in response, Mu Ne nodded to the meteorite. Yes, I don't have the hostility to take the initiative to attack, and it is estimated that there will be no hostility when I automatically counterattack, because before I can react, the battle is already over.

"It was you who killed the king and proved his lie for me." The shadow continued, bowing to Xia Zuo and saluting, showing a ceremonial way that was different from the charm of this continent.

"Huh? What lies? Natsuzuo scratched his cheek, and until the gunshot, he thought that the man in front of him who was wearing a mask and dressed like a ninja was an enemy.

"Here—" the shadow pointed to the meteor's neck.

Xia Zuo's neck is very clean, and if you look closely, you will find small burn marks over the years, how did such a young man accumulate scars on his body that only Horf or Beecher craftsmen have?

"What's going on there?"

"Once upon a time there was a purple slave spell."

"Purple, second only to red binding..."

"Yes," Shadow gritted his teeth in hatred, causing the skin of his exposed temples to move, "that bastard deceived me that if I disobeyed him, even if he died because of my protection, the slave spell would kill the Meteor directly, and now that he is dead, the Meteorite is alive and well, and the curse mark is completely gone." ”

Xia Zuo shook his head with his hands spread, "As far as I can see, no matter what the curse mark is, killing the slave owner is the most direct and effective way to unseal it. ”

"But something similar has happened before," Shadow said with a sad frown, and Meteor nodded in agreement, "The slaves who tried to harm the king in the past all died by suicide, and the Meteorite who was a slave but kept to himself was affected by those few times, and the slave curse damaged him. ”

"That should be a misunderstanding, or it was a deliberate trick set up by the king," Xia Zuo thought as he said, "Even if there is a special condition spell that killing the slave owner will kill the slave, I can guarantee that it will never be purple that can do it." ”

As soon as Xia Zuo finished speaking, the shadow knelt on one knee with a straight posture, and lowered the meteorite's head with his hand.

"I have made my intentions clear, Sir who has given us favors, it was you who killed the King and foiled his plot against us in advance, so I intend to thank you," Shadow Hand placed on his chest and Meteor respectively, and introduced, "You can call me Shadow, he is my brother who is not related by blood, the son of the legendary craftsman "Silver Hammer" - Meteorite, dare to ask the name of the sir?" ”

"Xia Zuo."

"Mr. Xia Zuo, once again, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your kindness," the shadow said respectfully, "but it is nothing to repay you for getting rid of an enemy whose life is in danger, is there anything I can do to help you?" No matter how much, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it for you. ”

"How could I ask someone I've just met to do something that goes out of the way?" Saying this, Xia Zuo rubbed his hands in anticipation, and then pointed to the prop on the chest of the falling star, the firecracker, "I heard that your brother just said that it was improved, which means that the gun was made by him?" ”

The shadow nodded.

"Guns?" Meteor wondered about the name.

"Yes, guns, can you forge a few for me? According to the shape and construction I requested. Xia Zuo was full of interest, as if he had forgotten that the magic wall had been lifted and he could leave at any time.
