Chapter 117: Female Assassin

After Viscount Dures finished speaking, he patted Shepard: "Take a good rest, you came just in time, rest for another day, and we will start tomorrow!" ”

Shepard nodded, turned and walked out of the tent.

The entourage, who had been waiting outside, walked over, bowed and said, "My lord! Tommar and Captain Jeff, they've got your tent ready. ”

"Okay, take me there." Shepard only brought two retinues and four guards with him this time, after all, he has the identity of a 'mage', and he is the greatest force, and he only brings people for the dignity of the nobles, not to add food to the bloodthirsty monster of 'war'.

Waiting to return to the tent, sure enough, the hot water and dinner were ready, and when the meal was finished, Shepard slept peacefully on the marching bed, and the entourage and guards made their own arrangements.

"Assasin!"

In the middle of the night, an exclamation suddenly sounded, and Shepard, who had been just cultivating his spirit and studying the improvement of divine arts, suddenly reflexively rose, and before his entourage and guards could react, he had already strode out of the tent.

As soon as I got out of the tent, I heard the crowd in Viscount Dureth's camp, and looked around, many barons and knights' camps were also alarmed, the knights were fine, some walked out with weapons, and some of the barons' tents rushed out in a panic wearing women's clothes, and it was self-evident what they were doing before that.

Fortunately, Shepard's tent was not far from the viscount, and he grabbed a soldier halfway through and asked, "What are you panicking about?" What happened?! ”

The soldier with a hurried look saw Shepard's aristocratic attire and immediately replied, "My lord! An Assassin escaped after assassinating the Viscount, and we were ordered to contain him! ”

"Assassinate Viscount Dures? How's the situation with the Viscount? ”

The soldier nervously said, "The viscount is wounded...... But it shouldn't be a big deal, it was the Viscount who asked us to go after the Assassins! ”

"Okay, take me with you, soldier!" Shepard said in a deep voice.

The soldier did not dare to disobey the order, and led Shepard to a corner of the barracks first.

The closer I got here, the more I could see groups of soldiers coming around, and several knights in armor followed, all of them with intermediate strength.

"Your Excellency!" Several people greeted each other, all of whom were acquaintances, and Shepard was very polite to him when he fired three 'fireballs' to break the morale of the defenders when the advance army was besieging Brest.

"Where's the Assassin?" Shepard asked directly.

Several knights looked at each other, and one of them said frankly, "Your Excellency, as soon as we arrived here, the assassin disappeared......"

Hearing what the knight said, Shepard immediately frowned and said, "Disappear? Shadow walking? ”

"Probably not," the knight shook his head, "The power of my bloodline allows me to detect fluctuations in energy, but I didn't notice any signs of the Shadow Realm being opened...... Your Excellency, you need to find your enemies in the mage way. ”

"Okay," Shepard readily agreed, the mage's way is also spells such as the Broken Eye, originally Shepard thought that at this moment it was a shadow thief or assassin and other professionals who could walk in the shadow realm, in that case, unless there was preparation in advance, it would be difficult to track the other party, but if it was just a spell effect, it would be different.

Jumping on the wooden barrel next to him, the expressions of several knights behind him moved slightly, but they didn't say anything, although mages often show people with thin skin and crispy flesh, but there are also many part-time jobs in other professions.

Seeing with the eyes of a god was just something that could be done in a breath, and it was only in order to avoid suspicion that the knights could not detect the fluctuations of magic, so he deliberately distanced himself, and at this time, he looked around and saw a sneaky figure not far away.

"There!"

He reminded aloud, flicking his hand and throwing a ball of light down next to the figure.

The knights responded to the call, and although the first one didn't see where the figure was, he had a reminder of the light technique, and only relied on intuition to pull out the cross sword on his waist and slash horizontally!

The intuition of the warriors is often their second pair of eyes, this blow is used, but the shadow is distorted by the magic effect, and the moment when the light is distorted, it can no longer hide the figure, only to see a slender figure roll over in embarrassment, but it can no longer avoid the knight's second attack.

Clang!

The Assassin drew his dagger to block the attack, the quality of the dagger was as high as the knight's military sword forged by skilled blacksmiths, sparks flew and the blades of both swords remained intact.

However, the knight's purpose had been achieved, and the rest of the people also surrounded him, and the sound of the soldiers' running footsteps kept approaching, several skilled knights were on guard, and there was a mage who did not know where to hide.

"Look who this daring guy is." The first knight to catch up with the Assassin smirked and stepped forward to pull off the Assassin's mask, revealing a beautiful face underneath.

"Female?" Everyone was stunned, and another knight suddenly shouted, "Rosbal! What do you see that?! ”

Rothbal was the knight who had removed the Assassin's mask, and he followed his classmate's direction and saw an inconspicuous mark on the Assassin's body.

The strong knight suddenly became frightened, and his voice trembled, "This is ...... The emblem of the god of vengeance? ”

In the hidden position on the female assassin's clothes, there is a blood-stained dagger emblem, which is the mark of the god of vengeance, Hall, and represents the identity of Hall's followers.

Rosbal was originally a bald and strong knight, but when he saw the badge of the god of revenge, he was shocked into a cold sweat, just because this god himself is a madman with no bottom line, and his doctrine is to require believers to worship endless and bottomless revenge, which is a complete evil god!

The female assassin on the ground suddenly became a hot potato, and Rosbal looked at the other companions for help, and many knights had angry faces, their lips moving slightly, but they did not dare to say anything.

It was still the companion who reminded him that he was a little unbearable, and said helplessly: "Rothbal, you know, a believer in the god of vengeance...... Although the capture of the Assassin is a credit, it is not enough to be credited to any of us, and the revenge of the Church of Vengeance ......"

He glanced at Rothbal and added, "Fortunately, you only captured her alive, even if His Excellency the Viscount wants to kill her, the mark of revenge will only be marked on the person who directly caused her death, and you are not an executioner, so you don't need to be so afraid." ”

Rothbal was only momentarily frightened by the name of the God of Vengeance, and at this time he wiped a cold sweat and sneered: "You're right, I really think too much...... Do any of you know this female assassin? ”

"This could be the daughter of the Count of Salibota." A cold voice suddenly sounded, and everyone followed the voice, only to see Shepard walking leisurely, if there were no barracks and soldiers nearby, it looked like a night out for a walk after dinner.

Rosbal's companion was stunned and said, "Count Salibota? Isn't the belief of the Salibota family the god of knowledge? ”

Shepard said leisurely: "That's right, on the surface, it seems that the Salibota family does believe in His Highness the God of Knowledge, and their family's piety is also very famous in the kingdom, so who would have thought that the current count of the Salibota family, His Excellency Findoli Salibota, the [Scroll Bearer], would actually be a believer in the God of Vengeance?" ”

He looked down at the delicate face with a look of astonishment, and chuckled: "This news, there are only a very few people in the Kingdom of Amm who have heard rumors, unfortunately, I am one of them, and now it seems that the rumors may be true." ”

In the previous life, the Kingdom of Amm was considered by the player to be 'clean after all the killings', which shows that the corruption of the aristocratic class has reached the point of abhorrence, and all the nobles secretly believe in evil gods or make deals with devils and demons.

Although Rothbar, who believes in Nicholas, the god of war, is extremely warlike, he also has an instinctive aversion to evil, especially the friendship between the god of war and the Lord of Dawn, and the relationship between the two powerful gods has also affected priests and believers, so that the Church of War is often seen in the Church of Dawn's actions to sweep away evil.

Hearing Shepard's resolute words, many knights not only did not feel at ease, but felt even heavier in their hearts, especially Rosbal, who had stunned the female assassin with his own hands, and could only say with a bitter face at this moment: "Send the assassin to Your Excellency first...... You must not leak the news! ”

The notorious reputation of the Church of Vengeance is not only within the scope of their revenge, but many knights naturally do not joke about their families, and have said that they will keep their mouths shut.

Rosbal was a little relieved, and then he mentioned the female assassin and went with the others to see Viscount Dures.

In the viscount's tent, although there was no priest to follow, after all, the appearance fee was too high, and an honorary viscount like Duris couldn't afford it at all, but fortunately, there was a military doctor who followed and used the herbs he carried with him to stop the viscount's bleeding, and the assassin did not apply poison to the short sword, so that Viscount Duris picked up a life.

Upon seeing the knights return with the Assassins, Viscount Duris smiled grimly, and stepped forward to manipulate the man who almost killed him.

Rothbal hurriedly told the viscount what was going on, and when he heard Duris's expression change, he unconsciously walked back and forth in the big tent.

After a long time, he waved his hand for the knights to withdraw: "You have worked hard tonight, and I will give you the credit to the Earl." Seeing that Rothbal wanted to speak, he added: "Of course, I'll take care of the Assassins." ”

Only then did everyone retreat with peace of mind.

When only the Viscount was left in the tent, Shepard stepped out of the candlelight and shadows as if he had been standing by, and smiled, "Dures, I think you need my help. ”

Viscount Dureth glanced at him unsurprisingly and sighed, "Shepard, my friend, the only helper I can think of at this moment is you. ”
