The City of the Seven Marquis, Marquis Liszt, an old marquis who has lived for more than seventy years, has already enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and now wants to extend his life and regain his majesty, so he does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire poachers to hunt all kinds of magical beasts, such as the moon deer, the old turtle, and the theft of the water of the Holy Death Lake.

However, the real purpose of the Marquis Liszt was to steal the only leaf of life left behind after the Saint Druid's staff was buried at the root of the Tree of Life.

The leaf of life condenses a large amount of vitality, the effect is better than the water of life, long-term wear can not only enhance the physique, maintain health, but also can prolong life.

If taken directly, it can improve physical fitness, restore physical condition to the peak state, and prolong life at the same time.

In addition, the leaf of life is soaked in a pool of water of life, which is also the goal of the Marquis Liszt.

Marquis Liszt used a lot of money to learn the news from the elves.

To this end, the Marquis of Liszt not only invited a large number of adventurers, but also invited the Scarlet Blade Assassin group to help.

Marquis Liszt enlisted a Master Assassin, five high-ranking Assassins, and twelve official members in order to steal the Leaf of Life and the Water of Life as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, it failed, and even the Master Assassin was lost in the Sacred Death Forest.

At this time, an elderly butler, in a gloomy basement, brought the resentment of the Marquis Liszt to the Scarlet Blade Assassins.

"Fifty thousand gold coins, this is the price we pay! After the deed is completed, the Marquis will pay another hundred thousand gold coins. 150,000 gold coins, even if you Scarlet Blade takes on the task for ten years, it is impossible to earn so much money! Lord Marquis needs an explanation! The butler tapped the ground with his cane, expressing his displeasure.

A figure hiding in the darkness, his voice cold: "We have lost one Master Assassin and at least ten official members. In order to train them, we spent no small amount of gold! ”

The butler sneered, "Don't forget the rules of the Scarlet Blade! If you miss, you'll have to send more Assassins to salvage your reputation! ”

The figure was silent for a moment, then said, "Your information is wrong. Our Master Assassin had already brought things out, but was stopped by a human mage, otherwise he wouldn't have failed. You must be responsible for this. ”

The butler lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

After a few minutes, he nodded and said, "We are all responsible." The Marquis will be rewarded with an additional 100,000 gold coins, and we need your legendary assassin to do it himself! This time, it's a matter of success! ”

The figure in the darkness seemed to have been instructed a long time ago, and the voice soon came: "The legendary assassin will not make a move. However, the Council of Masters has decided to send three Master Assassins again, leading nine high-ranking Assassins and twenty-one official members. This was the largest assassination operation since the establishment of the Scarlet Blade Assassins, without the presence of legendary assassins, and it was enough to show our sincerity. ”

The butler was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't want to push the other party too much because of the Scarlet Blade's terrifying assassination ability, so he warned: "This time, the Marquis's Mansion will also dispatch a strong force. I hope you don't make any more mistakes! ”

The Tree of Life, Council Chamber.

The ring was passed among several people and ended up in the hands of the Grand Druid.

He looked at it closely, then handed it to Estelle, "Estelle, you have lived in the Flame King City for thirty years, do you know this coat of arms?" ”

Estelle took the ring, examined it carefully, and then nodded: "Two poisonous snakes are intertwined with each other, and in the middle is a sword, this is the city of the Seven Marquis, the family coat of arms of the Marquis of Liszt." ”

He was very familiar with human civilization, especially the situation in the Flame Kingdom, which naturally included the City of the Seven Marquis.

The Twin Serpents Sword Capture Emblem belongs to one of the most powerful families in the City of the Seven Marquis.

This is a family with a thousand-year-old history, just like the Barov family. However, because the family was a little weaker, they did not occupy a city in the end, and instead ran the "City of the Seven Marquises", the second largest city in the Flame Kingdom, together with six other marquises.

Although the city of the Seven Marquis is jointly ruled by seven marquises, since the founding of the city, the position of city lord has been held by the successive marquis of the Double Snake family.

This family is the richest family in the Flame Kingdom outside of the Barov family. Thousands of years of accumulation, the family's wealth is more than a million gold coins, members are all over the army, the palace and the merchants, and even in the Flame Lancer Cavalry, there are two captains who are their people.

Marquis Liszt, the current patriarch of the family, has expanded the family's estate to the entire Holy Griffin Empire, making the fame of the Twin Serpent family gradually catch up with the Barov family.

Of course, the most well-known label of the Marquis Liszt is still lustful.

The Marquis's Mansion is home to at least a hundred beautiful human women, as well as other women of various races, including a female elf from the Sacred Forest.

It is said that the Marquis Liszt was disabled when he was young and could never do male and female affairs again, so although the Twin Serpents family had an estate all over the empire, there was no successor. The only son was a wine bag and a rice bag, and once he had a dispute with someone for a woman and was beaten to death.

In fact, although the Marquis Liszt occupied hundreds of women, he never had a relationship with anyone, but only abused them in various ways. This kind of perverted psychology seems to be caused by the disability of his youth.

"Sure enough, it's him! That abominable old human pervert! Master Seynos slammed the stone table and shouted.

The female elf who was captured was one of his juniors.

The Great Druid said, "Liszt? About half a year ago, he sent someone to the Holy Death Lake, hoping to exchange his wealth for the opportunity to bathe in the water of the Holy Death Lake, but I refused. Mira, how much do we lose? ”

The female druid's face was a little ugly, and she whispered, "Clyde, Yuul, and Hazel are dead, and a few others are seriously injured. The Elven Guards lost seven guards, and a dozen others were badly wounded. The old tortoise 'Torah' was captured, and the loss of magical creatures has not yet been fully calculated, but a rough estimate is that at least nearly ten have been captured, and more than twenty have been injured. ”

The three names she mentions are three druids. They are all her companions who have been with her for decades and hundreds of years, and once they died tragically, separated by life and death.

The losses were great, as can be seen from the gloomy faces of the Great Druids.

"Their souls will be sent to the Tree of Life. If they wish, they can reincarnate as a forest demon. If you don't want to, then accompany us in the form of spirit. The Grand Druid said softly.

Whether it is a forest demon or an elf, it is another form of existence of elves, which is nature's favor for elves.

Estelle then said, "There is one thing that is very strange. In addition to those poachers, we also encountered more than a dozen assassin sneak attacks. The Assassins were dressed similarly, and were assassinated in a similar manner, as if they were from an organization. ”

He placed his clothes on the stone table, pointed to the ornament on it, and said, "A blood-colored scimitar, I have never heard of such an organization. ”

He hadn't even heard of it, and even the elves here hadn't heard of it.

The Grand Druid set his sights on Gavin.

Gavin hurriedly shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it either." But my companion probably knows. ”
