Chapter 565: Not Authentic (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
Trism had the timing right, and the moment the shadow assassin revealed his flaws, he activated the shadow jump on his cloak to appear behind him, and then quickly swung the short sword Black Star in his hand.
As a semi-drow, Trism can be said to be extremely proficient in blind combat, and he doesn't need to look with his eyes at all, he can sense that the opponent's neck is in that position, so this time is destined to be a one-hit hit.
"Snort~~~~~~~~~~" A head masked with a black cloth was cut off by Trismu, leaving only blood spurting out of the air wantonly. And Trism had already sneaked away.
On the other side, Duham's gains were even greater than Trasim's, and because of his higher stealth skills, he had the audacity to wander around the periphery of the courtyard, so he ran into two shadow assassins.
Although there is a big gap between Durham and Trism in terms of physical strength, he is much stronger than Trism in terms of experience, and he is an authentic assassin who can no longer be authentic, and he is not a little stronger than Trismu, a halfway monk, in assassination.
So he quickly slit the throats of the two shadow assassins!
He was able to win two of them so quickly, firstly, because his strength and experience were very strong, and secondly, because the business ability of this group of shadow assassins was like that.
Although they have a career level close to level 15, they have no future before they can transform into half-shadow creatures, truly powerful characters, who would want to become such a non-human and non-ghost? And only the kind of Luthor who has no hope of promotion would make this choice.
How high can these people's business skills be? For an old river like Durham, it's simply a food delivery!
**********
Edward entered the courtyard smoothly in a stealth state, and did not encounter the slightest obstacle on the way, which made Edward very vigilant! Fitzteler had said that Soram must have been fully prepared to provoke. (He thinks too much)
What happened to Cutie Dehua along the way made him very puzzled, but he trusted his boss's judgment very much, then there was only one possibility, and Solam was deliberately luring them to the bait!
In fact...... Solam just didn't have enough people, if there were a few more Trisim and Durham, he would have sent them to block them on the periphery, so why let people in?
But Edward didn't know, so at this moment, he felt very bad, as if he had fallen into someone else's trap.
So along the way, even if he ran into the patrolling Wiggins knights, he didn't make a move, but carefully bypassed those patrols. It's just that I'm afraid of startling the snake.
He didn't go to Solam's quarters, but silently arrived at the meeting place that he had set with the shadow assassins before he acted.
This was Askatra, and their shadow thieves were familiar with every plant and tree here, so they didn't need to explore beforehand, they knew that the location in the courtyard was the best place to gather.
Edward waited for about fifteen minutes, but only four of his men came. This time he brought 10 men! What about the others?
There are not many shadow assassins under Fitztier, only about 30, which is still formed by Fitztier's hard work, not to mention those who were sent out to do things, before Edward came, Feztier's hands were only 22 people, and now he has lost 6 at once.
Edward knew he was in big trouble! Of course, Edward was not afraid that Fitzteler would blame himself, but he knew that they were facing an enemy that was completely beyond his previous imagination.
These are shadow assassins, although the professional level is not too high, but in terms of stealth skills, with the blessing of shadows, they are completely comparable to high-level assassins, or even stronger!
But now that they were all dead in silence, Edward didn't think they were lost. How big can this broken yard be? The fact that they could be killed without warning shows that Fitztier's previous conjecture was correct, and this is not authentic!
"You go first!" Edward immediately made a decision, he couldn't let all the remaining shadow assassins lose here, otherwise the loss would be too great!
"What about you?" Although these shadow assassins were Fitztier's personal guards, Edward usually trained them, and their relationship was the same as that of master and apprentice, so when he heard that Edward wanted to stay here alone, he naturally refused.
"It's okay, I can leave if I want to go alone, if I bring you guys, it will get in the way." Edward was confident in his own strength, and even if he couldn't do anything to Solam, he would still have no problem escaping.
But at this moment, suddenly a voice interjected.
"Hey! Gentlemen, how much longer are you going to talk? I'm tired of waiting! I think we should hurry up, after all, it's not early, and I have to go to bed quickly! You know, I'm a person who hates staying up late. ”
Edward immediately looked around! Finding that there was no one around, Edward immediately thought of something, so he raised his hand and shot a cold light into the air, it was a dagger, I saw that the dagger just flew out, and then it hovered in the air, and then a figure in a black robe appeared in the night sky, he was wearing a strange pair of metal gloves, and the dagger just now was being pinched in the hand by an iron glove.
Under the moonlight, Edward could see clearly the appearance of the person who came, it was a white-haired man, looking at them with a smile, his eyes really exuded bursts of strange light, in the background of the night, it looked a little terrifying!
Edward knew that it was a level 5 prophecy spell "Broken Hidden Eye", a very rare prophecy spell. As an assassin with versatile dexterity, Edward is usually assisted by spell scrolls, and is no stranger to magic.
"Solam!" Edward immediately thought of the main person he was going to face this time!
"Yes, it's me! You're supposed to be a shadow thief, right? Why are there only you little mice? I thought the Shadow Thieves should send more people. Really, the shadow thief disappointed me so much, I knew that you were only going to make such a small fight, so I didn't have to wait that effort. ”
The person who came was none other than Solam. At first, Solam was going to wait in the room for the group of assassins to come to the door, but unexpectedly, the group of guys actually turned a corner and gathered in a dead corner of the courtyard, and this gathering lasted for more than ten minutes.
Soram had McCarthy place a lot of circles in the yard, which were enough for Soram to monitor the entire yard through a crystal ball.
This made Soram a little curious, so Soram used an invisibility technique and flying magic to come here in a slight circle, and just happened to hear Edward's words.
So he hurriedly stopped them, Solam was ready to catch them all, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat, if they let them run, then they wouldn't even be able to catch this bit of meat!
In the face of Solam's ridicule, Edward didn't speak, just a strong rejoicing. The boss is still shrewd, if he really sends more people, maybe what will be lost! Others are here waiting for the big fish to take the bait!
It can only be said that Edward completely understood the whole situation crookedly! But he is not to blame, it is really Solam who has gone too far, and even knows where they are hiding, if it is not deliberate, no one will believe it!
But in fact? Solam actually just used the technology that was lost in the Nethrel era, and it was really not a deliberate one, it could only be said that the technology generation gap was too big, and they couldn't understand how Soram found out about them!
After a moment of silence, Edward finally couldn't help himself and asked, "Which force sent you?" Good God Church? Shar Church? Or the Arcane Brotherhood? Or is it someone from Tyrell? ”
Edward now felt that this incident must have been the work of some force that had a grudge against the Shadow Thieves! However, there are too many opponents of the shadow thief, and he is not sure who did it.
The forces mentioned above, not to mention the Good God Church, many Good God Churches simply hate the existence of the shadow thief, but fortunately in other cities, the power of the shadow thief is hidden very deeply, and it takes a lot of effort for the Good God Church to deal with it.
But the Shadow Thief Headquarters is different, the existence of the Shadow Thief in Ascatra is not hidden at all, it is much easier to deal with, for so many years, if it weren't for the council that has been pressing on it, the Shadow Thief would have been approached and destroyed by all kinds of righteous forces.
It is precisely this kind of protection that allows the shadow thief to listen to the council.
As for the Shar Church, hehe, just based on Shar's peep at Dorell, the Lord of Shadows, Shar has long wanted to kill the shadow thief and cut off a big help from the Shadow Church.
The Arcane Brotherhood, on the other hand, is completely hatred between peers, and a little black fat man said that the hatred between peers is always naked, and the Arcane Brotherhood has been peeking into the shadow thief's territory for a day or two.
As for Tyrell, it is a national hatred, because of the national conflict between Tyrell and Am, the Kingdom of Tyrell has long wanted to destroy the Shadow Thief, an organization that gathers intelligence for Amm and stirs up chaos.
"What's the mess? Did you take the wrong medicine? Uncle Ben is Uncle Ben, which of those things you said can assign me? Boy, are you insulting me? ”
Soram was very upset when he heard this, forget about the rest, the Arcane Brotherhood and Soram have a deep hatred, and Soram will find a chance to kill Ya Ting sooner or later!
Don't forget, Solam's teacher, Arlando, was ruined by the Arcane Brotherhood! To say that Solam is a member of the Arcane Brotherhood is a complete insult to Solam!
Solam's words choked Edward a lot. Lao Tzu is almost forty years old, you actually call me a kid?
At the same time, Edward also felt that the person who could say such things should not be the person sent by the above-mentioned forces, because this guy was not in awe at all, and said that he was insulting him! If it is really someone sent by the above-mentioned forces, even if they don't admit it, they don't need to belittle it so much, right? I don't want to go back and mix it up.
Of course, Edward is not 100% sure, but Solam gives him the feeling that this is the case, although Edward is a very cautious person, he still trusts his instincts.
But now these things are no longer important, and now the important things, since they have been discovered by others, then run away quickly!
"Let's go!" Edward gave the order, and he and the remaining Assassins all disappeared into thin air!
