In Knight Conan's eyes, this may have just been a decision made by the city lord because of the pain of losing his son, but when he was invited to the city lord's mansion, Knight Conan didn't think so.

"What is this?"

Looking at the elegant letter in front of him, Knight Conan was obviously a little surprised, he raised his head, looked at the old man in front of him, then lowered his head and looked at the letter again.

"It was found in the pocket of my poor child's coat."

The old man's face was rather haggard, giving the impression that he had aged ten years overnight, and Knight Conan reached out after the other party signaled, picked up the letter, opened it, and then read it. But soon, Conan Knight's face began to become strange and strange, and even a little anger was hidden. But even so, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and only after reading the letter did he look at the old man again.

"Excuse me, what does this letter .........say?"

“…………… Yes, it's all true. ”

The old man also bowed his head deeply at this time, revealing a repentant expression. And the Knight Conan was also red and white, and he didn't know what to say.

This letter records nothing else, it is a series of atrocities committed by the son of the dead city lord before, including but not limited to violence against women, beating and injuring civilians, and even coveting beauty and using force on peasant women, after getting it, feeling bored and afraid that she would make trouble, he sent his men to kill the other party's entire family, and disguised it as a fire accident.

To be honest, it was only two days before Knight Conan returned here to be a sheriff, but he also knew about several of them, but he was only here because he had just arrived here and had not yet had time to investigate. Now it looks ......... Someone has already taken care of it for themselves.

This bastard fell to his death, what a cheap deal! If this is caught by the Temple, it will at least be a public execution!

"What does this letter mean?"

Holding back the anger in his heart, Knight Conan also looked at the old man. He didn't believe that the lord had called him here to confess his son's crimes.

"I'll explain it."

At this moment, standing behind the old man, a man dressed as a housekeeper took over the conversation.

"It's a 'death verdict.'"

“…………… I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

"Knight Conan just came here, maybe you don't know yet."

The butler bowed slightly to Knight Conan, and then spoke.

"In fact, in recent times, there has been a mysterious assassin nicknamed 'Grim Reaper' in this area, no one knows who he is, and no one knows if he really exists, only that every time he commissions next, the target of the commission will die in just a few days due to an 'accident', and by their side, they will leave a letter recording the crimes of these people. It was as if they were judging their sins......... That's why we also call it 'death verdict'. ”

"So, this is really an assassination?"

Knight Conan felt completely incredible.

"Is it some kind of magical effect? Or we can find a prophetic mage to ........."

"It's useless, we've hired a prophetic mage, and we've even used a time rewind, but we can't find any clues......... This is also a matter of course, after all, we don't even know if the other party is a human or a ghost now. ”

Speaking of this, the butler also showed a self-deprecating smile.

"Not magic, and no do-it-yourself?"

The Knight of Conan felt even more incredible.

"Can this be called an assassination?"

"But in fact, the other party accepts the commission every time, and after the target's 'accidental' death, the power of attorney will also appear to be completed. In other words, it was indeed an 'assassination'. ”

"So you mean ..............."

"I hope Knight Conan will ask the Templars to intervene and find the Assassin."

The old man looked up and stared at Knight Conan.

"I know that my son has done something unforgivable, and if he is caught by the temple for this, I can even be beheaded. However, I cannot accept that my child has been killed by a despicable and shameless assassin! I hope the temple will help me find the killer and punish him! ”

"This ..............."

Looking at the angry old man in front of him, Knight Conan didn't know what to say for a while. I don't know why, looking at the old man in front of him, he suddenly remembered the chief of the Knight Brand......... Maybe this is the doting of parents on their children? Knight Conan is not married yet, let alone has children, so he can't understand it yet. In fact, when he saw Knight Brand swinging his sword against his daughter in the Temple, Knight Conan already found it difficult to understand the other party's thoughts.

And now.........

"I'm sorry, Lord Castle, I'm retired now, and I'll convey to the temple what you said, but I'm not sure what the temple's reaction will be."

"Thank you, Knight Conan, but I won't spare my child's killer."

“……………”

Hearing the old city lord's answer, Knight Conan didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only stand up silently, salute the old man in front of him, and then leave.

“……… My lord, are we really going to report this to the temple? ”

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Conan's attendants also hurriedly walked to his side and asked in a low voice. In the face of the inquiries of his entourage, Knight Conan was silent for a long time, and then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the attendants beside him.

"Bart, I remember......... You're married. ”

"Ah, yes, sir."

Hearing Knight Conan's endless inquiry, the squire was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly.

"Do you have a baby?"

"There is a ......... Naughty and mischievous, I don't like to learn swords all day long, so I want to go out on an adventure, I really can't do anything with him......... Hey........."

"So do you think that what the city lord did was right or wrong?"

"This ..............."

Hearing this, the entourage was also stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he replied with a complicated expression.

"This ......... To tell you the truth, my lord, the son of the lord of the castle is indeed not a good thing, and frankly, I know that he is quite relieved that he is dead. But......... It's not that I can't understand the lord of the castle completely, after all, that's his only son........."

"yes........."

Knight Conan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Let's follow the normal process, at least that's our job."

"Yes, sir."

While the entire city of Keha was in a hurry, the initiator of all this had already left this land of right and wrong.

"It's not challenging, but at least it's rewarding."

Counting the platinum coins in the money bag, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, these days, the so-called "death killings" in this area are all his handiwork.

And what Fang Zheng used was the "Killer 47", one of the two bronze soul stones he had extracted before.

In fact, Founder has always believed that Hitman 47 is the real killer compared to Assassin's Creed. Although many people like to brush things like "where in life is there so much time for you to sneak in, and if you want to assassinate, you can't be equaled". However, this can only be used in the world of Assassin's Creed, which is meaningless in the Overworld.

Unparalleled? The aristocratic mansions here are full of magic traps and alarms, and you have no equal, and after thirty seconds, you will be surrounded. And even if you kill someone, what can you do? Mages have a way to find your traces, and it will only be a matter of time before you are hunted down and killed, unless you have some props or artifacts that can hide your identity, otherwise you think it will be so easy to assassinate.

Serial killings are only available in detectives, and in reality, grab a DNA test and compare it, who cares if you like to say it or not.

And the reason why Fang Zheng chose Killer 47 is naturally because of his two buff specialties [Ever-changing] and [Making the Most of It].

[Ever-changing] allows Fangzheng to perfectly simulate everyone, just like the killer 47 in the game can enter and exit with various identities after changing clothes, [Ever-changing] is a specialty that allows Fangzheng to perfectly disguise himself as a variety of identities, and then start a stealth operation.

With the help of this specialty, Founder can analyze the usage of all the items and equipment in front of him as quickly as possible after entering the assassination site, and use this to create traps to lure the opponent into taking the bait. It's like the assassination of the son of the city lord before, Fang Zheng didn't do it at all, he just disguised himself as a cleaner, mopped the place a little cleaner, and then quietly removed the pillars on the railing while others were not paying attention.

Did he kill someone? No. He only used the future vision to confirm where the son of the city lord would go next, so he dragged the ground there——— is it illegal for me to mop the floor?"

As for the high-level mage, it was even easier for Fang Zheng——— Nimfu cherub could manipulate all spells, so he didn't even need to make a move, just found a place, and then let Nimfu cherub invade and snatch control while the other party was casting spells, and finally just let the spells run wild.

With these two abilities, coupled with the magic assistance of Future Vision and the little angel, Fang Zheng was able to easily assassinate others in any situation as if no one was in a no-man's land.

And the reason is simple, he needs money.

Although Fang Zheng still had the five thousand gold coins that the temple had rewarded him before, these money were far from enough for Fang Zheng. Of course, if he eats Haisai and makes salted fish, then the money in Fang Zheng's hand is enough for him to live a good life. But for Fang Zheng, the meaning of his life is obviously not born to be a salted fish.

The most important thing is that the money in Founder's hands cannot be used to recharge the system.

That's the point.

No matter how much money Fang Zheng got in the Iron World, it didn't make any sense if he couldn't spend it in the system. Therefore, Fang Zheng needs to convert the money into something that can be used to recharge, that is, spirit crystals.

But this is not an easy thing to do.

Like the world in which Fang Zheng is located, although the mineral spirit crystal is not listed as a "strategic resource", it is not something that ordinary people can buy at will. In particular, the purchase of large quantities of spirit crystals must be reviewed and reported by the official department. In the past, Fang Zheng's identity naturally didn't care about this little trouble, but now, he didn't want to be discovered by the temple, and he wanted to get a large number of spirit crystals, so he had to find another way.

According to the laws of the Holy Religion, the only people who are eligible to purchase spirit crystals are spellcasters and alchemists with regular "licenses", as well as legal organizations and individuals such as armor and weapon manufacturing departments. Although Fang Zheng has mastered the Five Rings spell at present, since Rex has not reported to him, Fang Zheng is not even an apprentice at present. Naturally, the Templar identity could no longer be used......... Otherwise, if the temple comes to the door, it will be a problem.

Then all that's left is ......... Backdoor listing.
