288 Dead Dark Professionals Association
"Karl that bastard sent someone to find you? Can you tell me what he asks for? ”
"It's nothing, the nobleman's attendant said that they had some disputes in the northern territory and entrusted us with some alchemical detection equipment. Your Excellency www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, do you need us to terminate the commission? After all, our branch depends on you. No matter what acquaintance introduced you to, or someone else, you can't compare to your friendship! ”
"Stop what to do, they didn't mess with me." For this statement, Ciri is very comfortable. But because it involved the disgusting Karl, he couldn't help but ask again.
"How much do they pay us for? Hehe, which lord paid not for gold coins, but for gems, a gem of very good quality. ”
"Gem, can you show me?"
Ciri was really surprised. You must know that any gem that can be enchanted into a magic gem must be of the highest quality. On the other hand, in the entire Duchy of Canter, only the two towns in the north of Pitt's territory produce gems. Moreover, the gemstone produced is still a blue-blue gemstone with a very single quality and color. Among the many gems in this world, it can only be regarded as third-rate.
Carl's territory is just over 11,000 square kilometers around the city of Wise. So does a small territory have the financial resources to buy high-quality gemstones? Ciri was deeply skeptical, but the gem that Eschel took out really subverted his impression.
The color is full and crystal clear, and despite his limited knowledge of gemstones, Cerari can still see that these gems are extraordinary!
"Hmm...... Sure enough, it's a good thing! Since Carl had this gem to pay, he should have fulfilled his commission. ”
Returning the gem, Ciri said with a smile, but there were more doubts in his heart than ever! Neither the map of the Duchy of Kanter nor Steve's map actually has gem deposits nearby! So, how did Carl get these high-quality gems from the south? Could it be that he found a great treasure? Or robbed a dragon cave without an owner?
"Of course!"
On the other hand, Eschel didn't know what Siri was thinking, but happily introduced the purpose of those gems.
"You see, this is a ruby, but it is of the best quality, as long as it is used with a simple magic gathering array, it can replace the crystal nucleus of a fourth-order fire-type demonic beast. And this one, the quality is also very good, you can see at a glance that this is a treasure ejected from the depths of the underground by a million-year-old volcano......"
Raschel said that Ciri was listening, and although he was very bored, it dawned on him when he heard that these gems might have been formed from a volcanic eruption millions of years ago!
That's right, Wise City sits on the crater of a huge, very old extinct volcano. The surrounding higher terrain is also due to the accumulation of magma deposited by volcanic eruptions. It seems that Carl did not have good luck to ransack the Dragon Cave, but found a great treasure!
While thinking about Karl, a monster suddenly floated in from outside. Ordinary soldiers will not be allowed to enter the branch of the Northern Witchcraft Alliance. And this god monster is the herald who sent the news to Ciri in place of the soldiers.
"Sir Siri, your soldiers are outside, saying that the Assassins are from Noah's Castle and want you to rush back immediately."
"What?" Ciri was really shocked! Here comes the assassins, who did it? Karl? In broad daylight, when did that guy get arrogant to that extent!
"Mr. Eschel, the task of digging Lake Noah has been entrusted to your organization. Afterwards, I can pay the bill with Magic Crystal Lead. ”
Dropping these words, Ciri left in a hurry, Noah's Castle can be described as heavily guarded, but because most of the soldiers are training outside the city, the defense of the castle itself is also the lowest, so it is not good to do anything!
-----------------------------------------
The warm sun still shines obliquely on the huge Noah's Castle. From the outside, this majestic building is very divided by the buildings of the Northern Witchcraft Alliance, and it is no different from usual. But if you go deep into it, you'll find an anomaly inside.
Soldiers and gods patrolling back and forth, panicked squires. and large swaths of blood stains and corpses in front of the castle's various organs that have not yet had time to be cleaned up. All this fell in Celery's eyes, but he couldn't stop bursts of evil fire in his heart!
How long has it been, and this is the first time that this castle has been attacked since it was attacked and renovated? Although, from a rough sense, his loss this time was not large, and Lenaldo and the others, who were guests in his castle, also praised his castle defenses. But this incident is still an invisible slap to him, slapping him in the face!
Everyone, silently doing the aftermath work, even the gods and monsters did not dare to touch his moldy head at this time, but the Viscount Murak, but stood straight to the side, whispering about the loss this time.
"On the enemy's side, a total of one hundred and thirty-one assassins were killed this time, and none of them escaped. As for the castle, thirty-two institutions were destroyed, including six major ones, including one hub. In terms of casualties, the guards and heralds suffered 40 casualties, of which only three were able to survive......"
"So, this is a well-prepared assassination, not the work of some amateur half-ass?"
Suddenly, Ciri, who had a gloomy face, interjected. Mulak hesitated slightly, but replied respectfully. "Yes, sir. And I've met one of them, and I recognize him as a member of the Dark Professionals Guild in the city. ”
"Oh? So, I'm a high-ranking celestial wrath and resentment, and even the local assassins can't help but assassinate me? ”
Ciri couldn't help but laugh angrily.
"Of course not!" Mulak said with a straight face. "Honestly, I've seen so many lords before, but none of them are as wise and generous as you...... However, I think it has something to do with the fact that you adopted orphans in your territory on a large scale some time ago. ”
"Orphans? Why did you get to that again? "Xi Rui thinks it's very funny, Lao Tzu adopted the orphans in his own territory, in order to train the dead for himself, what is the trouble of hindering others?
"Your Excellency, you don't know. The so-called Association of Dark Professionals is engaged in shady things such as assassination, passing on and collecting information. Therefore, the consumption of members is also very huge, and in other places, those orphans often become the main source of new blood for this association, so ......"
"Understood. It seems that I need to pay a visit to the branch of the Assassin Society in Noah. ”
I thought it was those people who didn't know what to do, but I didn't expect it to be my own unintentional mistake! But since it happened, he didn't plan to stop. The side of the couch does not allow others to snore, and it is just this opportunity to spread the news of the assassin association in one fell swoop. (To be continued.) )
