Chapter 249: Prologue to the Assassination

Harvey told him the news that Count Henrietta had been targeted, and let him go back in the same carriage as him. Harvey himself is also the target, and Count Henrietta is one of the few partners and friends of Harvey, so he naturally needs to help at this time.

Late at night, the guests of the dinner gradually dispersed, and the street outside the Norton Royal Music Hall was deserted, although Norton was very prosperous, the street where the Norton Royal Music Hall was located was not a commercial street, and now I don't know if I can see a pedestrian for ten or twenty minutes. As soon as he came out, Harvey felt the strangeness of the atmosphere, and as a spellcaster, his powerful and keen spirit could detect the gaze hidden in the shadows, and there was no lack of eyes full of targeted and strong malice.

The two of them got into the carriage, and the Count of Henrietta looked uneasy, and the small space of the carriage gave him a little security. As soon as the groom was about to drive away, his neck was pierced by a heavy object without warning, and his body fell from the roof of the car with a pop, and this strange sound startled the Count of Henrietta, and the fat on his face shook several times, and he did not dare to go out to observe the situation.

Count Henrietta sighed in a bitter and helpless tone: "That Vaughn guy is so bold, I'm sorry, Harvey, I involved you too." โ€

Harvey, who was still thinking, pulled out his thoughts a little and smiled: "Just leave it to me, these are not troubles for me, only some doubts." โ€

"Confused?"

"Yes, why did they choose to do it outside, they had a good opportunity to shoot us just now and didn't do it at all, as if they wanted to trap us here."

"Stuck here?"

"Probably to get the attention of the guards, so their assassination target tonight may not be us, but someone who is still under protection in Norton's Royal Concert Hall." Harvey narrowed his eyes and calmly analyzed, since Princess Elennor handed the envelope to him, he always felt like he was involved in some kind of conspiracy. Harvey looked out the window, and in the shadows of the alley of the building, a man with his body hidden in a black robe was approaching the carriage.

At the same time, the alarmed guard trotted out of the Norton Royal Music Hall, saw the corpse lying on the ground, and without saying a word, raised the steam spear in his hand and shot at the approaching black-robed man.

"Shoot! Protect your adults! โ€

"Shoot!"

"Don't let him get close to the carriage!"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! โ€

This was the first time Harvey had heard the sound of a steam spear firing, much quieter than the sound of a regular firearm on Earth, and the decibels were not high, comparable to the sound of ordinary people clapping their hands.

"Bang Bang!"

The bullets from the steam lance smashed the floor tiles of the street, and also hit the black-robed man who was approaching, and the strange thing was that the black-robed man with multiple shots in his body still approached unhurriedly, under the street lamp, a strange green liquid flowed out of the place where the black-robed man's body was hit, and the bullets embedded in his body were corroded and vaporized.

"Damn it! It's a Bloodline Knight! โ€

"Don't be afraid! Don't give him a chance to fight back! Keep shooting! โ€

The guards who fired the guns showed fear on their faces and hurriedly changed their bullets.

"It's the Bloodline Knight!" Count Henrietta, who saw this scene through the car window, had a solemn face, knights have another meaning in this world, that is, the name of those who have awakened the special ability of the bloodline.

"Looks pretty good." Harvey said with interest, this is the second time Harvey has encountered someone who has awakened the ability of the bloodline, the first time is Lester of Elroy City, who used a chain sword with great power, and was an enemy who could not win head-on to Harvey, who had just become a spellcaster at the time.

Compared with spellcasters, it is not uncommon for people to awaken bloodline abilities, but most of the abilities have no effect, a small number of them need to be trained to be used, and even fewer have good destructive power just after awakening, and the number of knights in this part is not much different from the number of spellcasters in the Kingdom of Barron.

A guard approached the carriage to cover Harvey's return to Norton's Royal Concert Hall.

The Assassin pulled out a steam pistol from his bosom, the outer box resembled the strength of traditional black powder, and the body of the gun had a circular device embedded with a small ultra-high-pressure steam boiler inside, a high-precision firearm that could only be made by the magic workshops of the royal family.

"Smack!"

Instead of bullets, a cloud of green liquid spewed out from the muzzle, hitting the guard who had not even approached the carriage, and before the guard could scream, the body and head stained with the liquid were quickly corroded, the flesh turned into white liquid and flowed down, and the skull quickly became charred black.

Harvey's brow furrowed, suppressing the urge to make a move, and making a rash move without fully understanding the enemy would only expose his hole cards.

"Damn! Hurry up and call for backup! Ring the alarm bells! โ€

"Shoot! Shoot him down! Don't let him get near the carriage, Matos, you go and inform the guards of Iris! โ€

The quality of the guards is very good, and they can stay calm when they see such a scene.

Count Henrietta took a deep breath and looked at Harvey, "Harvey, what are we going to do now!" โ€

"Wait, the show is only about to start now, this assassin really doesn't have the appearance of an assassin." Harvey said unhurriedly, the strange poisonous man in front of him could not pose any danger to Harvey, his venom could corrode metal, but it was not much different from ordinary clear water in front of heavy silver water. The problem is that there are still many people hiding in the shadows and not coming out, one side seems to be coming for him, and the other side belongs to the Iris Knights.

Without determining their abilities, Xavi tried not to make a rash move.

In such an urgent situation, Harvey was able to tease the enemy, and the Count of Henrietta could not help but laugh: "Harvey, what do you think of an assassin as an assassin. โ€

"Wear a hood, hide your identity, and take out the target with a Hidden Blade or some clever weapon."

Count Henrietta rolled his eyes: "This kind of assassin can only solve ordinary people. โ€

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

On the other side, in Norton's Royal Concert Hall, the young man with his eyes closed opened his mouth and made a silent sound.

"Our great writer and earl seem to be having a good time... Make sure that the other party has no accomplices to come out, and you can't let him continue to get close to the carriage, Leon, kill him! โ€

The young man has the power to control the sound, he can adjust the frequency of the sound to a certain extent, and he can also gather intelligence through the sound, and now the sound he makes is the sound of a deep-sea creature, which cannot be heard by ordinary human ears, and requires the help of special equipment, and the huge coverage of the sound can perfectly cover all the urban areas of Norton.

A knight hidden in the residential building was holding a special steam gun, the body of the gun was more than several meters long, the whole body was made of metal, thick and solid, and the muzzle of the gun was engraved with a silent magic array, this spear was more exaggerated than the anti-tank equipment on the earth, and now the muzzle of the black hole was aimed directly at the poisonous man who was close to the carriage.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound, as if a bomb had exploded around him, kicking up countless smoke, and the upper body of the assassin on the street with green venom burst along with the floor, and the huge kinetic energy tore apart his body, and the splattered venom corroded the floor into large pits, including some minced meat.

At the same time as the gun was fired, the Iris member who was observing the situation with his voice suddenly changed his face drastically: "Leon! Be careful! โ€

"Pounce~"

Inside the residential building, the knight who used this exaggerated steam firearm quickly got up when he heard this, but it was too late.

The shadow behind the knight, a sharp blade suddenly stabbed through the knight's neck, and the huge force shattered the knight's spine together, killing him instantly.

The assassin who crawled out of the shadows sneered at the exaggerated steam spear on the ground: "I didn't lose a decoy in vain, a good weapon." โ€

Kicking the body away, he lay on the ground and held the trigger, aiming his crosshair at the compartment where Harvey was.
