At its peak, the city of Nilogaard was the economic center of the southeastern kingdom of Cowell, with a population of more than 100,000 and a large number of villages and towns on the outskirts of the city.

When the Tenjin Day catastrophe occurred, farmers fled their villages and the suburbs became depressed. Less than two months after the catastrophe, brave farmers migrated back. Now that it has been more than 4 months since the catastrophe, the monsters around Nilogaard have been wiped out, and the surrounding villages have basically recovered.

To the west of Nilogard is the town of Red Creek.

In the last month or two, the town has suddenly flooded with adventurers, filling all three inns in the town, and even many people live in many houses.

In the middle of town, there is an inn called 'Far Away Guest', and the third floor of the inn is a huge guest room. At noon, all the windows of the guest room were closed and the doors were locked. In the dim light of the room, only a few vague figures could be faintly seen.

There was a faint sound of conversation.

"The news has been confirmed, tonight, that magician is going to give a public lecture in the west square of the city!"

"Is this guy tired of being alive? After occupying the wealth of the entire Nilogaard, he even dared to appear in public? Isn't he supposed to hide in a rat hole? ”

"That's not necessarily, it is said that his own strength is very strong, and he can also do a lot of magic, and his combat power is not inferior to that of high-level monsters."

"Even so, he's still flesh and blood, and he can still hold off the musket! You know, even a high-level werewolf can't stop a musket! ”

"Don't be careless, there are musketeers in Nilogaard, and their muskets are better and more powerful than ours. During the public speech, there must be martial law around the square, and if you want to kill the magician, ordinary methods will not work, and you must find a way to sneak into the square to be possible. ”

"It makes sense, we need to plan well."

。。。。。。。。。。

At the same time, news of a public lecture by the master magician of Nilogard had spread throughout the villages and towns surrounding the city. Many people find it very strange, especially the topic of 'creating thunder and lightning', which is very intimidating, but most people just sigh and use it as an after-dinner conversation. Only a small number of people, especially young people with dreams in their hearts, began to pack up and rush to Nilogaard City.

Although such people are a minority in one village, the number of people from more than a dozen villages and towns gathered together is also not a small number. The city of Nilogaard, which fell silent after the catastrophe, began to gain popularity again.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, more than twenty people dressed as adventurers left the distant guest inn in Hongxi Town, and these people left Hongxi Town in a hurry, and when they arrived outside the town, they gathered together, took off their expensive leather armor, changed into the sackcloth robes worn by ordinary farmers, and then rushed towards Nilogaard City.

At about the same time, martial law began in the city of Nilogaard.

Nearly 200 musketeers were dispatched in unison to occupy all favorable ambush sites around the square in the west of the city. Darius, the sniper, lurks early on the Academy's parapet tower, the highest point in the area, where he can look down on the entire west square of the city, and no one can escape his gaze.

On the edge of the Bishui River, Lekwen also ended a day and a half of assault training.

For him, this musket was much easier to learn than a sword, and although it only took him a day and a half, he was already very proficient in using these two weapons of great destruction.

He tucked the large musket into the holster on his left waist, and the small musket in the sleeve of his coat. With the slightest movement of his arm, the two powerful muskets slid into his left and right palms at the same time.

At this moment, he felt more confident than ever. He felt that as long as he had enough bullets, he would be qualified to fight even if he met the legendary eternal and undefeated dragon warrior Ollamsen.

"Are you ready?" Anne asked him.

'Ka Cha~'

Leckwin's arms moved quickly, and in a moment's time, he held the small musket in his left hand and the large musket in his right hand, and he smiled and said, "Captain, my steel eagle and little sparrow are always on standby!" ”

The Iron Eagle and the Little Sparrow, this is the name that Lekwin gave to the large and small muskets.

Anne nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." Remember, you are an assassin. When acting, the first principle is not to cause panic among the people, so the action should be secretive, the action should be fast, and the hidden danger should be solved quickly, understand? ”

"Understood!" Leckerwin nodded.

Suddenly, a breeze blew from the north of the city, and Lekwin took a light breath and smiled: "Captain, I seem to have smelled the stench on the Wizard Hunter...... Uh-mu~~~ To be precise, it's the taste of low-level thunder elixir! ”

"Go hunt those hyenas." Anne gestured in the direction of the north of the city.

"Yes!"

Lekewen's feet slammed to the ground, and his body ran like the wind in the direction of the north of the city.

After Anne saw him off, she also hurried in the direction of the square west of the city.

The current Nilogaard City seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, and as the supreme military commander of Nilogaard, she naturally has to go to the scene to the town.

In such an atmosphere, time passed slowly. In the square west of the city, people are gathering more and more, and on the central side of the square, a high platform has been erected, and many people are moving some strange things to the platform one by one.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a young red-haired woman entered the square with the flow of people.

The red-haired woman was a big beauty, with an unusually outstanding appearance, a deceitful complexion, and a gorgeous long dress of fiery red. When she walked in the crowd, she was as dazzling as a phoenix in the night.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.

The captain of the musket team, Grod, was the main force of the square defense, and he found this beautiful and dazzling red-haired woman at the first time, and his heart was shocked, and he immediately said to the soldiers around him: "Go and ask the brothers on the periphery, where does this woman come from?" ”

The warrior trotted to ask, and after a while, he quickly ran back again: "Captain, the brothers outside said that they didn't see any red-haired women." ”

"Hiss~~ This is weird!" Grod was shocked, he felt that he could not control the situation, and he immediately ran towards Anne, who was not far away.

Anne's eyes were also fixed on the red-haired woman, and when she saw Groder running over, she asked, "Do you know where it came from?" ”

Grod told the truth, and Anne frowned.

"What now?" Grod asked busily.

Anne thought for a while and said, "She is not an ordinary person, since she appeared in such a high-profile manner and didn't make trouble, let her stay first." ”

With that, Anne gestured to a tower in the distance, a sign language addressed to the sniper Daliu, meaning to keep an eye on the red-haired woman.

After a while, a mirror reflection came from the direction of the tower, and after three flashes, it disappeared. This is Daliou's response, and it is a clear meaning.

After the red-haired woman appeared, she found a corner to stay quietly, and she also took out a notebook and held it in her hand, as if she did not mean to make trouble.

Anne was relieved by this discovery.

However, the gods did not seem to be ready to let her relax, and about half an hour later, another brown-haired man more than 2 meters tall appeared in the square.

The brown-haired man was not only tall, but also strong, and ordinary people were around him as if they were dwarfs. The man was dressed in thick black leather armor, and his workmanship looked very well-made, and when he walked through the crowd, he looked like a tiger pacing among the sheep.

After a while, Grod came running again to report, he was sweating all over his head: "Captain, the outer brothers said that they didn't see any 2-meter-tall brown-haired men. ”

Another one sneaked in.

Anne felt that the situation was out of control.

At this moment, she suddenly saw the brown-haired man looking at her, with a smile on his face and his mouth open and closed, as if he was talking.

Anne calmed down for a moment and found that the other party was saying, "Don't worry, I'm just curious, let's join in the fun." ”

Despite this, Anne was still not at ease, and she was about to tell Rosen about the situation, but as soon as she took two steps, she saw a silver-haired and silver-eyed boy walk in at the entrance of the square.

This guy was also wearing shiny silver-scale armor, and he also carried a giant sword at least one meter and eight meters long on his back, which was larger than the giant sword used by the steel-armored warrior Fairman.

This is not an ordinary person.

After a while, Grod ran over with a sad face and reported: "Captain, this guy also appeared suddenly. ”

Anne was a little numb. She vaguely felt that the influence of Rosen's speech was far beyond her expectations, not only a large number of ordinary people around her were attracted to it, but even many powerful aliens came to join in the fun.

"Captain, what now?"

"I'll report to the master." This was Anne's only option.

She was about to go to look for Rosen when Veronica walked up to her, and looking at her expression, she seemed to have something to say.

"What's wrong?" Anne asked.

"Lawson asked me to bring you a message to strengthen your guard and prevent wizard hunters from causing trouble. As for the Inhumans, ignore them. If they make trouble, Rosen will deal with it himself. Veronica said.

After saying that, she also turned her head to the red-haired woman in the distance and nodded slightly, to Anne's surprise, the red-haired woman actually nodded in response, looking at each other's expressions, the two seemed to know each other.

"You seem to know her?" Anne asked.

Veronica's expression was complicated: "Of course I know." She is my half-sister. ”

"Sister...... Younger sister? Anne was speechless.

"Don't talk about that. Anyway, it's going to be a very lively night, very, very lively, and maybe there will be some unexpected changes. ”

"I don't understand?" Anne was puzzled.

Veronica lowered her voice and whispered, "There are many Inhumans in the world, including the neutral Dragon Valley, the tyrannical Wolf Valley, or the Blood Rose, who despises mortals so much. The ideas of the Inhumans also vary, some advocate living in peace with mortals, some advocate treating mortals as slaves, and some advocate staying away from mortals. But the Inhumans all have one thing in common, and that is extreme arrogance. Now, when a Lawson appeared, he repelled the attack of the Inhumans, and he was already extremely eye-catching. Now, he even said that he wanted to 'create thunder and lightning' and give a public speech, which naturally attracted the attention of many strangers. ”

"You said there would be a change?" This is what worries Anne the most.

Veronica rubbed her eyebrows and said worriedly, "There are only a few Inhumans who have appeared so far, and there are still many hiding in the shadows. Lawson killed a lot of Inhumans, and it was normal for someone to take advantage of this opportunity to trouble him. ”

"What can I do? Don't repeat the Tenjin Day catastrophe! Anne clutched the musket tightly, only to feel that her palms were covered with cold sweat.

Seeing her like this, Veronica gently patted Anne's shoulder: "Don't worry too much, Rosen is not easy to mess with, do you think he will be unprepared?" ”

"Hmm~~"

Anne looked up at the high platform on the side of the square, where people were still coming and going, and people were busy arranging the equipment on the high platform. She also saw Lawson, who stood aside and watched, making pointers from time to time. He looked calm and composed, and there was no trace of concern.

Looking at it, Annie's heart slowly quieted down: "You're right, Lawson is much more terrifying than Inhuman!" ”
