Chapter 366: Success

As one of the most powerful lords on the Solo Peninsula, Geoffrey's guards are of course very tight, not only do they usually bring troops with them, but his lord's guard is the elite of the elite he personally selected, including the strong and powerful Minotaur warriors, the accurate Medusa archers, the skilled human warriors, and the agile Harpy, these soldiers are loyal to him, dead hearted, and ready to go to the soup for him as a master.

Whenever Jeffrey returned to the room, these guards would take turns guarding the outside of his room, not only guarding the door of the room, but also several corridors around it under their surveillance, even Jeffrey's most trusted subordinates could not approach Jeffrey's room for half a step without their consent and Geoffrey's approval.

What's more, in addition to the Lord's Guard, his four master magicians also live on this level, if something happens, they can react immediately, and one of this magicians is proficient in soul magic, even if something really happens to Jeffrey, he can use resurrection magic to save Jeffrey.

In addition, Jeffrey is also a martial arts expert, so he has always been very comfortable with his own safety.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Jeffrey was also unimpressed, he opened the door and looked out, but it was his butler who came, the poor butler was a little nervous because the woman who was carefully selected to serve the lord was kicked out, and was secretly whispering to the guard soldiers in the corridor to inquire about the situation just now, after the captain of the guard found out about the situation, he stepped forward to scold, but it turned out to alarm Jeffrey in the room.

Seeing Jeffrey open the door, the butler and the guard soldiers who were bowing their heads were startled, and the captain of the guard saw the master come out, and he also realized that his voice was a little too loud, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Frowning, Jeffrey glared at the butler and waved his hand, and the guy quickly nodded and left.

Then Geoffrey glanced at the captain of the guard with an approving look, and then closed the door to the latest chapter of the Shengshi Collection.

Having extinguished the candles on the table and adding some wood to the fireplace, Jeffrey took off his thick robes, lay down on the bed, covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep in a few moments.

He didn't even notice that there were bright eyes that were quietly watching his every move through one of the ventilation windows in the room.

It was a tiny window through which an adult could not climb into the room, and the iron bars were attached to it, making it impossible to use it to enter or leave the room.

There are two such windows in the room, both of which are located very high, so that they can be ventilated without bringing too much chill into the room due to the cold wind outside.

Because the rooms are on the upper floors of the castle, there are steep facades beyond the windows, and there are no taller buildings around it, except for some turrets that protrude outwards from the castle itself.

The main purpose of these towers is to defend against enemy attacks from the air in war, and they are also used as watchtowers in peacetime, usually with several soldiers stationed.

I don't know if it was deliberately built in the first place, or if it was just an accidental coincidence, there was such an arrow tower not far from Jeffrey's room, but no one found that the three evil eyes, a Medusa and a harpy in it had been quietly killed by someone at some point.

Vecna tied a rope around her waist and tied the other end of the rope to the iron bar of the small window, and hung herself from the castle wall, her feet firmly on the castle wall, but in her hands a small short bow.

Jeffrey's Lord's Guard was a little too tightly defended, and there were too many of them, and Vikna felt that if she broke hard, she would most likely miss, so she chose another way.

The window in front of her was small, but the angle was good, just enough to see Jeffrey's plush bed and Jeffrey himself lying on it, with Vikna's superb archery, it was too easy to kill Jeffrey at such a distance.

Although it was only a hastily decided assassination operation without very careful preparations, Vikna's years of training made it easy for Vikna to make full use of various favorable conditions for herself, and finally carried out the most critical part of the operation.

She held the bow in her left hand, but in her right hand she took out a short sword from her waist, this is a Negan-style, an ordinary short sword that is heavily equipped by Negan's army, she has just taken from the Medusa in the arrow tower, the part of the short sword that would hinder the shooting has been removed by her, and the short sword is placed on the bowstring, and the female elf assassin slowly opens the bow.

Although it is easier to shoot the target with a feathered arrow, it is obviously more mysterious to use a short sword, and Geoffrey's men would never have imagined that the short sword that killed her lord was shot in from the outside with a short bow, and she did so to create a puzzle that would confuse the enemy's vision and make the situation even more chaotic after Jeffrey's death.

To make sure she was safe, Vikna also smeared a strong poison on her sword, which, although not bloody, had a lethal effect and had a strong paralyzing effect, paralyzing the whole body while poisoning.

After she revealed her identity and abilities to Jian Chen, Jian Chen tried her best to meet everything she needed, and in this regard, Jian Chen has always been stingy.

The snow was still falling, the wind was getting stronger, and Vikna's thin body looked so fragile and powerless in the wind, but she was not affected by this external force, her whole body did not move, and she was engrossed in aiming at the target.

Finally, her grip on the bowstring was released, and the dagger slid through the iron bars of the small window with great precision, and shot straight into Geoffrey's chest as he slept.

The special short bow made the short sword contain amazing strength, the short sword pierced deep into Geoffrey's chest at a forty-five degree angle, and Geoffrey woke up from his sleep under severe pain, but the poison on the sword had begun to take effect, the strongest lord on the Solo Peninsula wanted to roar in pain, wanted to get up, but he couldn't move due to paralysis all over his body, and could only make a slight humming sound in his throat, and soon he completely lost consciousness Royal Beast Cultivation Record TXT download.

Seeing this, Vikna did not stop, put away her short bow, put on the special gloves, untied the ropes, and once again swam like a gecko on the outer wall of the castle, and soon she came to another window.

Although Geoffrey is dead, but there is the soul magician, he still has the possibility of resurrection, so the soul magician must also die, if even this magician is dead, I believe that Jeffrey's subordinates will not go to great lengths to try to resurrect Jeffrey, because according to Chen Jian and Moriel, they will fight each other for power and profit.

Therefore, this soul magician must die, lest those loyal henchmen of Jeffrey resurrect Jeffrey, let Chen Jian's plan fail, and let the hard work of the female elf be wasted.

When she asked the hapless Negan soldier about Jeffrey's residence, Vikna also asked about the residence of this soul magician, and Jeffrey's behavior of arranging the magicians on the same floor as himself saved Victor a lot of time.

Fastening herself to the window with a rope again, the elven assassin did the same trick, but this time, the dagger she used was from the harpy.

Magicians who meditate and cast magic with their minds sleep more heavily and less alertly than ordinary people, and Vikna easily succeeded again.

When the task was completed, the smile in the elf's eyes was quite obvious, and then she put away her tools, climbed up again quickly, and quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night.

The next morning, the corpse of the soldier who had been killed in Fort Victoria was finally found, and the whole castle was in chaos, and then the captain of the guard, who was going to report the situation to the lord, found that the lord had been killed in bed at some point, and finally, the soul magician was also found dead for a long time.

At this moment, Fort Victoria exploded completely, and Jeffrey's men searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the Assassin, but of course in vain, and no one could understand how Lord Jeffrey could be killed in the room without knowing it under heavy guards.

Various speculations followed, with some suggesting that the Assassin was hiding among the guards, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the lord's room and kill the lord without being known.

It has been suggested that it was the work of an alien Assassin, as two soldiers were killed in their chamber and five soldiers died in an arrow tower, and if the Assassins were hiding among the Guards, there was no need for the Assassins to kill them.

However, those who hold this theory are unable to explain how the Assassins entered the castle and succeeded in assassinating the lord and the magician through the tight defenses of the guards.

The first theory is that the killing of the Soldier was just a façade by the Assassins to conceal the truth of the matter, in order to mislead the minds of the people.

Neither side could convince anyone, but the dispute soon ceased, and even the search for the Assassin did not last long, and by noon, the topic of contention had shifted to Geoffrey's inheritance.

After learning of Jeffrey's death, several of his important generals stationed in other regions rushed to Fort Victoria with their respective armies.

On the surface, they brought men and horses to help capture the Assassins, but their purpose was to hide from everyone's eyes.

Several of Jeffrey's henchmen who were originally stationed in Fort Victoria also had their own plans, and while they pulled up the drawbridge and refused to allow these foreign generals to enter, they also began to fight openly and secretly with each other.

By this time, Vikna had already left Victoria City far away with Eracher, and was returning in the wilderness, ready to rendezvous with Moriel.

Chen Jian, who was far away in Fort Mig, had also received the news of Vikna's success at this time.

"Sure enough, very capable!" Looking at the letter in his hand, Jian Chen smiled, smiling very happily, "It seems that I should almost make a move!" ”
