Chapter 129: The Noble Assassination List

Eventually, Rosen was given a list of assassinations.

The list of planned assassination targets were all nobles, and they were all the kind of people who had great influence in both Nilogaard and the Kingdom of Cowell.

After reporting the list, Emia said: "Because of their interests, these nobles currently stand with the academy and are called academic nobles. Correspondingly, there are also the Green Leaf faction in the kingdom that is more neutral, and the prince faction that supports the Cult of the Flame God. ”

"It's interesting to hit the aristocratic allies of the Academy by assassination." Rosen nodded slightly, turned his head and asked Anne beside him: "Anne, how many people have died on the list?" ”

Anne looked at the list carefully, recalled for a moment, and said: "From what I know, only Adele has been stabbed to death. Countess Biggs. Biggs is a well-known business family with a large number of properties. Among them is a medicine garden, which specializes in cultivating a variety of rare magical herbs, and is the second largest supplier of medicinal herbs to Nilogaard Academy. ”

"Just killed one?" Rosen was a little puzzled: "Amya, you've been infiltrating Nilogaard City for more than three months, isn't this a little inefficient?" ”

Amya hung her head and whispered, "Actually, the order to infiltrate was given four months ago, and at that time, I received a message that I was told to stay put. The specific assassination order was not passed to me until more than half a month ago. There are also requirements for the details of the assassination, for example, I can complete the assassination at the latest a month after receiving the order. Another example is that the assassination scene is disguised as an ordinary homicide, and it must be brutal and bloody, and there must be many onlookers to create panic as much as possible. ”

Hearing this, Anne whispered to Lawson: "This is a blow to the prestige of the Academy, there are more people killed, not only the academic nobles will lose confidence in the Academy, but the people in the city will also fall into chaos." ”

"Yes, the intent is clear." Rosen nodded slightly.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Then what is the relationship between you and the magician Brown?" Why is the Moon Wand in his hand? ”

"Temporary partnerships. I need some money to make ends meet, and Brown is very interested in the Moon Wand. For this wand, he gave me 200 gold dragon coins. "Amya knows everything.

"If he knows you exist, why didn't he expose you?" Rosen continued to ask.

Amya shook her head slightly: "I don't know. In fact, he has long felt my existence, but in the past three months, we have been fine. He seemed a little happy that I had killed Adele. From our brief exchanges, it appears that he has an unwarranted hatred of the nobility. ”

Rosen thought back to the words and deeds of the magician Brown, and nodded lightly in agreement: "Hmm~ The magician Brown is indeed very dissatisfied with Master Petain, thinking that Alalie. The task that Petain gave him was to waste his life. ”

He pondered for a few seconds, then asked, "How many monster assassins are there in the city?" ”

"About seven or eight."

"What type? How strong? ”

Amya shook her head, "I don't know. We are not connected to each other. ”

"What does Dr. Bouvan have to do with you? Is he an assassin? ”

"No, he's a friend of mine, a doctor, and a changeling. Because of the recent hunting of mages and monsters by the wizard hunters of the Cult of Pyro, he had to take refuge in the city of Nilogaard. ”

Hearing this, Anne on the side couldn't help but sneer: "I know that the wizard hunter is a madman, and I also know that Nilogaard City is very safe, but I still have to help those madmen deal with Nilogard, it's really ironic." ”

"I had no choice but to do it." Amya lowered her head and her feet ...... More precisely, a pair of hooves resembling human feet restlessly touched the ground.

Anne sneered and asked, "Can you kill innocents as a last resort?" Your sister doesn't deserve to die, doesn't Miss Adele deserve to die? ”

Amya's body collapsed tightly, and her face turned pale: "I'...... There is no way. They said that if I didn't kill Miss Adele, I would have chopped off one of my sister's hands. I really can't help it. ”

Seeing her like this, Rosen waved his hand to stop Anne's question: "The world is complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Now, we don't care about the past, but only discuss plans for the future. ”

Anne knew this, too, and she nodded, no more.

Rosen picked up the list and said to Amya, "I ask you, according to your opinion, who should be the next person most likely to be assassinated?" ”

"Count Derrick." Amya said it very decisively.

"Why?"

"Earl Derrick's family territory is poor, but since 30 years ago, iron ore was discovered on the territory, and other mines have been discovered one after another. There are as many as 7 large and small mines, producing iron, dark silver, lead, copper and other metals. As a mining tycoon, Count Derek has an unusually large family fortune and more than 2,000 elite soldiers in his territory. It has a huge say in the kingdom. At the same time, he is also the college's largest ore supplier. Once the baron was killed in the city, the academic nobility was one less general. ”

"You just said that there should be a reasonable excuse for assassination? So what do you think would be the pretext for the assassination? ”

Amya smiled coldly: "Yes." Baron Derek is an upstart, he has a very brutal temperament and kills at every turn. Like Master PΓ©tain, Derek likes women, but unlike Master PΓ©tain, he never pays attention to your affection, as long as he sees a woman, he will try his best to take it for himself. Then, they were tortured and abused by various perverted means. Usually, after three days, the big living person will be transformed into a corpse. ”

Anne exclaimed, "Why would he dare to do this in Nilogaard City?" ”

Nilogaard City's laws are not vegetarian.

Amya laughed, "Stalker, I know what you think. Yes, the edict of the city of Nilogaard forbade the nobles from abusing the commoners. However, Count Derek is rich, and the families whose wives and daughters have been taken captive, although they are not angry, will receive a very large sum of money. In this way, no one will hold the Earl to blame, and since there is no one to pursue it, how can the Academy be nosy enough to upset the Earl? ”

Anne was silent, knowing that Amya was right.

Emia gritted her teeth and sneered: "So, the Flame God Sect is cruel, but the Nilogaard Academy is not much better. In this world, there has never been justice, and it has always been the law of the jungle! ”

This time, it was Anne's turn to turn pale, and she was extremely discouraged by what Emia said.

Rosen is still very calm, he has experienced countless similar events on Earth, and he has long been accustomed to it.

He continued: "Since the Earl has dealt with the aftermath well every time, it shouldn't anger the public, right?" And on what basis did the Assassins kill people? ”

"Because last time, Count Derek screwed up. He met a stubborn old man. The Count was going to take the old man's beautiful granddaughter, and as he had done before, he was ready to send it with money. Unexpectedly, the old man completely ignored it. The old man was a blacksmith, and he attacked the Count in public with a blacksmith's hammer in the square of the trade district. Of course, he didn't succeed, and he was killed by the count's guards. Enraged, the Count chopped off the heads of the old blacksmith and his granddaughter in public. This matter is very big. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Rosen looked at Anne.

Anne nodded: "I've heard about this, it happened in the Trade Area Square just 3 days ago. There was a huge commotion and angry onlookers are said to have stoned the Count's head. The Count managed to escape under the protection of the guards. ”

Hearing this, Rosen nodded in agreement with Amya's opinion: "Count Derek really deserves to die!" ”

The so-called "don't do or die", even if the monster assassin doesn't kill the earl, after a long time, there will definitely be a human assassin to do it.

After speaking, he raised his hand and turned the meat grinder musket in his hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that we have to go and have a good time." ”

Amya jerked her head up and looked at Rosen incredulously, "Are you going to protect this villain?" ”

"Of course....... No. However, we are stalkers, and the sins of the world have nothing to do with us. Count Derek deserves to die, we won't stop the monster from committing it, but if that monster is also a murderer, we, the hunters, will be responsible for sending it to heaven as well! ”

As soon as the words fell, Anne whispered in Lawson's ear to correct: "Monsters generally go to hell, not to heaven." ”

Rosen's head was full of black lines: "Okay, then send it to hell!" ”
