Chapter 90—The King and the Assassin (11)
"North Coast ......"
At this time, Morelia's voice sounded in Su Yi's mind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Lord Maurelia?! Is that you? Su Yi exclaimed.
"It's me, kid, maybe it's too late to go to the North Coast now......"
At this time, the system prompt came.
[System: Go to the North Coast and assassinate Varno before he leaves the Roland Empire, current mission progress: 0 percent, mission duration: 1 hour.] 】
When Su Yi heard this, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly ran to the stable outside the city of White Horse City, and rode directly towards the north coast at great speed, the time was very tight, only an hour.
Along the way, the snow was falling, and Su Yi couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so he could only go north without thinking. There is a sea of ice in the north of White Horse City, not far from White Horse City, only a distance of more than a thousand meters, and there is wind and snow along the way, and Su Yi's itinerary has been greatly hindered.
Finally, after a lot of hardships, Su Yi came to a pier on the edge of the ice sea.
"Huhu~ Damn, it's still a step too late!" Su Yi frowned.
On the icy sea, a huge and gorgeous steamship was slowly heading towards the north, and the giant ship had already sailed many meters away, and Su Yi was out of reach. But the mission can't just fail, you have to try.
"Boatman! Borrow your boat! Su Yi's eyes were sharp, and he saw the fisherman who was about to go to the iceberg floating above the ice sea to fish, he threw a bag of coins to the fisherman, and then hurriedly got into the boat, rowing his oars and chasing towards the giant ship.
"Hey! Lad! Don't lose my boat! The fisherman shouted at the pier.
……
……
On the giant ship, in a room full of preciousness, the white-haired Varno put his hands behind his back and looked out the window at the endless sea of ice, not knowing what to think. This old king, who is nearly seventy years old, still reveals a heroic atmosphere between his eyebrows, and he is extremely majestic. Although it is similar to the Varno that Su Yi saw in the White Horse City restaurant at that time, it is too far from the same as in terms of temperament and every move, which is the momentum that a king of a country should have.
At this moment, a duke who was also about the same age as Varno walked outside the door.
"Your Excellency......," said the Duke respectfully.
"Is everything arranged?" Varno said lightly.
"It's arranged...... The enthronement ceremony of the Grand Prince will take place in a week, and you ...... Just rest assured. The Duke said.
"That's good." After Varno finished speaking, his eyes looked out the window again.
Varno was different from his royal brothers and sisters since he was a child, they coveted wine and beautiful women, and Varno wanted almost infinite power, according to Varno's generation, he would not become a king, his fate was sealed when he was born, to become a lord in a small town.
Varno designed to kill several of his royal brothers, and he became king as he wished, but after so many years, Varno wanted to let go of the power in his hands, and his heart suddenly lost.
The direction of the giant ship is the Martha Empire, the Martha Empire is friendly with the Roland Empire, and Varno is here to retire, and the reason is more or less because of the pursuit of the Dark Brotherhood. Varno is a man who is very afraid of death, and always has been.
……
……
The fog on the icy sea is getting thicker and thicker, Su Yi can only vaguely see the giant ship in front of him, which makes him not lose his way, Su Yi rowed desperately, his hands are almost worn out, and there is still a distance of more than a hundred yards.
"Damn, this old thing is here to give me a golden cicada shell, and when I catch up with you, I will stab you a few times." Su Yi scolded secretly. This Varno is really cunning and cunning, and he even arranged a fake body to inspect White Horse City for him, it seems that he already knew that someone was going to assassinate him, so when that fake Varno went to White Horse City, he made a huge noise, for fear that others would not know.
Su Yi didn't think much about it, and rowed towards the giant ship frantically with all his milking strength, fortunately, the boat was relatively light, and the speed was not bad, and more importantly, the waves in the ice sea were not so big today, and the boat was going smoothly. It's just that the fog is a bit big, and it's easy to lose the target. But fortunately, Varno's giant ship is also very large, as long as Su Yi's speed does not slow down, there is no follow-up.
Ten minutes later, the distance between the boat and the giant ship had been reduced to 50 yards, and it was already very close.
"Looking at the direction of that giant ship, it should be going to the Martha Empire." Su Yi thought to himself. There are more than a dozen icebergs floating in front of them, and the interval between the icebergs is very small, and the giant ship is large, so it must be bypassed.
The giant wheel turned slowly, ready to bypass this iceberg.
"Here's ...... opportunity"
Su Yi's boat was very light and could easily pass through these icebergs, so Su Yi's boat took a shortcut through the iceberg and drove to the front.
Stopped next to an iceberg in front, Su Yi waited closely behind the iceberg for the giant ship to appear, because the giant ship went around in a big circle, and there were many icebergs here, so he drove very carefully, and the speed slowed down.
Another ten minutes passed...... At this time, there was only half an hour left before the end of the mission, and Su Yi's heart began to become impatient.
Finally, the giant ship appeared, and he drove slowly over.
Because Su Yi was wearing a brotherhood costume, his whole body was black, and he was particularly conspicuous on the iceberg, for fear of being discovered by the guards patrolling the giant ship, Su Yi plunged headlong into the icy sea of ice.
The giant ship slowly drove over. When he got close to Su Yi, he clearly understood that this giant ship was really big. It is more than 30 meters wide, 200 meters long and 20 meters high. It can be said that it is the largest steamship in the Empire.
In front of the giant ship is a lifelike golden dragon head, which is extremely majestic.
Su Yi didn't stay, the ice sea made him feel too cold, the rope ladder was not put down, of course it was impossible to put it down, Su Yi had to use two daggers to stick them into the wooden hull of the giant ship, and climb up step by step. The hull of this giant ship is very thick, and Su Yi does not have to worry about damage.
Five minutes later......
Su Yi approached the edge of the hull deck, Su Yi was very smart, he climbed up from the stern, it was easier not to be spotted here.
These five minutes of climbing can be described as dangerous and dangerous, everyone knows that the boat is crescent-shaped, and the hull is very slippery in this weather, Su Yi's whole person almost climbed up with a dagger inserted into the hull, which is very dangerous, but fortunately, Su Yi's physical fitness is excellent.
After climbing to the edge of the giant ship, Su Yi looked towards the boat, and he guessed correctly, there were patrol guards on the ship, and he heard someone's footsteps at this time. Su Yi hurriedly buried his head.
When the footsteps approached him, Su Yi suddenly got up, and one of the guards was jumped by Su Yi, who suddenly appeared behind the edge of the boat, and the latter hooked the guard's neck, and the dagger stabbed him three times, throwing the guard's body off the boat.
Su Yi jumped and jumped onto the giant ship......
