Chapter Twenty-Four: The Silent Assassination

It was Aldridge who visited Old Edward after Clarence, and Kaneshiro waited in the courtyard for a while before seeing Aldrich withdraw from Old Edward's room with a smile on his face.

It was only the moment he saw Jincheng that Aldrich's smile faded and turned into undisguised anger and hatred. Since his hair was scorched by a power surge puncture in Jincheng, he could only go out with a hat in the past two days, plus his fat body, how funny it looked.

"Mystic, don't think that with Ella supporting you, you can do whatever you want, sooner or later I will let you be punished!" Aldrich pointed to Kaneshiro's eyes.

"Looks like we haven't cleared up the misunderstanding, Lord Aldrich, I was really worried that you would run into the Gouran's mystical mage that day." Jin Cheng shrugged his shoulders, and his face had an expression of "you're going to hit me".

"You!" Aldrich trembled with rage, the hat on his head began to shake, and he finally snorted and walked away.

Kaneshiro waved his hand indifferently, and after waiting for a moment, old Edward's female slave welcomed him in.

Old Edward had already taken off his noble clothes, changed into comfortable pajamas, and sat in a chair, while a maid was pounding his legs.

"You're Kim, aren't you? I've heard that you're a student of Joe Hugh? Old Edward seemed a little tired, and said with his eyes slightly open.

"No, according to the tradition of our arcane mages, Master Joshuel is just my guide, not my teacher." Kaneshiro replied and respectfully handed over the gift he had brought.

This politeness is a habit developed in the previous life, and a good relationship with the nobles in the plot can often lead to unexpected gains.

"Are you visiting me on Ella's behalf?" Old Edward casually put the gift aside, frowned slightly, and said, "Why didn't she come?" Did she feel that with the support of the Mystic Master, she could ignore the authority of the House of Lords? ”

Jin Cheng secretly said in his heart that it was not good, the rising rise of the Blue Tower has provided many excellent arcane mage talents for the Igu Continent, and many of these talents have been absorbed by local forces and have become an existence that threatens the central power of Augustus. This situation has intensified, and even many local principalities have become disobedient to the royal family.

Once Augustus's central power collapsed, the House of Nobles, which had been born from it, would bear the brunt of the impact.

So in a way, the interests of the Blue Tower and the House of Lords are hostile.

"Lord Viscount has misunderstood, Miss Ella is busy with Prohai's official business, and since her brother died unexpectedly, she has been trying to learn how to take over Prohey." Kaneshiro held Ella a few words in his conscience, and said with a smile, "Moreover, Lord Viscount is not aware of the traditions of our secret mages. ”

"In fact, the Joshuel ** division and the Blue Tower are not on good terms, and many of the Blue Tower's practices go against traditional ......"

In a few words, Kaneshiro described the Blue Tower as a rebellious, impudent and barbaric organization, much to the satisfaction of old Edward, who listened with a smile on his face.

"Listen, Mystic." Old Edward finally sat up straight in his chair, leaning forward slightly, "Aldrich is a waste, and Clarence has only a little ability to communicate, neither of them is fit to inherit the title, but Ella is not much better. ”

"The House of Lords doesn't care who succeeds Count Prohey, but Prohey's location is important, the Blue Tower is right next to it, and the House of Lords needs a ...... Forget it, it's okay to be able to interfere a little. ”

"I'll be honest with you, Mystic, the House of Lords is actually very supportive of Ella's succession. One is that because she is the first in line to the throne, the House of Lords must also abide by tradition. ”

"The second reason is Joshuel."

"Aldridge and Clarence can't do it, because they don't have that backstage."

"If Joshuel can support Ella and let her reclaim the South Island and take back the royal dividends that are paid to the Blue Tower every year."

"Then I can even submit a motion to restore Prohai's title to Marquis!"

"Tell Ella what I mean." After old Edward finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a maid politely sent him off.

Jin Cheng could only salute and leave, and walked back with a strange face.

He knew a little about the royal family's dividends, and he only learned about it in the past few days when he accompanied Ella to check the information.

King Adora was born into the Bauhinia royal family, and his royal dividends came from a small plane he had led Augustus's army to conquer, which had huge gold reserves. In order to reward him, his father gave him 20% of the gold produced in that plane as a royal dividend.

Many speculated that it was because of King Ador's philanthropic personality that he later transferred the royal dividends to the Blue Tower.

As a result, every year, 20% of the gold produced from that plane will be directly minted into gold coins with the emblem of the Blue Tower, and the Puluo Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for purchasing materials in the ancient capital and transporting them directly to the Blue Tower. This is where the Blue Tower Gold Coin comes from.

Jin Cheng didn't know if King Aduo really wanted to support the development of the mystical mage's "education industry", or if he had other purposes, but he had to admit that King Ador's move had indeed helped the Blue Tower grow and rise rapidly in recent years.

This is also the reason why the powerful Blue Tower will maintain a friendship with a nobleman who is not a count of the title.

Wait a minute...... Friendship?

Jin Cheng suddenly remembered some things in his previous life, although he was rarely active on the South Bank, but during the New Monarch's War, and even later due to Graham's invasion, it seems that the Blue Tower did not give much help to the Lava Queen?

Could it be that Ella in her previous life really agreed to the request of the House of Lords and took back the South Island and the royal dividend? So much so that you cut off contact with the Blue Tower?

Jin Cheng nodded involuntarily, he believed in his speculation, otherwise, with the strength of the Blue Tower, Ella would not have set off a new monarch war with only a ragtag army.

"This lava queen is really stupid, the collapse of the Augustus Empire can no longer be stopped, can the words of the House of Lords have a fart? Of course, the friendship of the Blue Tower is more important. ”

Kaneshiro shook his head with a wry smile and returned to his yard, where the puppy Alva had inherited more of his father's genes and barked to welcome him home.

"Alva, you're getting fat again." Jin Cheng picked up the puppy and was about to rub its belly, which was getting fat day by day, affectionately, when a cold cold wind suddenly hit him from behind!

Almost without thinking, he lunged forward, and Alva was thrown out of him, and before he could stabilize himself, he summoned the tome and threw a spell behind him.

Rapid cooldown!

A dazzling spot of light appeared, and the ice ball containing the secret magic energy instantly hit the target.

Whew!

A frozen human body stood in place, frost condensed outside his black bodysuit, and the only pair of eyes that showed out were flashing with astonishment and disbelief.

A second-level arcane mage?

Rapid cooling in the fourth stage?

Can a spell scroll be activated so quickly?

What the heck?

The rapid cooling was worthy of his identity as a second-order spell, and this person was firmly frozen, but it obviously couldn't last long.

"Woohoo!"

Alva spread his legs and ran out of the yard.

"Righteous fellow!" Jin Cheng cursed angrily, and just as he was about to open his mouth to call for the guards to come, another killing intent had already stabbed from the side.

"There are still people!"

A wave of anger rose in Kaneshiro's heart, countless encounters in the arena and the wilderness in his previous life had honed his powerful fighting ability, and he took a step back without thinking, dodging the stabbing dagger.

Shadow Raid is a universal skill for all Assassin classes, and it is a useful skill that has a lot of growth, so it will accompany the Assassin character from the moment it is created, and even when they become legends, they will not give up.

Kaneshiro knew this skill so well that he could recite the distance that Assassins of different levels could sweep with Shadow Raids.

"Tier 3 Assassin."

The next moment that Jin Cheng flashed this thought, a spell was thrown out.

"Surge tremor!"

Multiply!

The second assassin was immediately struck in the arm by the electric current, and a violent paralysis swept over him, causing him to lose sensation in one of his arms.

But he had another arm, and he had another weapon.

Scold!

The Assassin's body didn't slow down much from being struck by the static tremor, and after a blurred flash, the Assassin's left hand held a short knife and stabbed Kinjo in the lower abdomen.

Kaneshiro screamed, and immediately reached out and grabbed the assassin's arm.

"Shadow Raid...... Silent Assassination ......"

Two skills with different names but similar effects. In fact, many skills in the assassin class have this effect, accelerating the rush and attacking, and the power is different.

And before the Second Order, apart from the Shadow Raid, there was only one Silent Assassin with such an effect.

"You're from the Silent Temple!" Kaneshiro gritted his teeth and roared, looking the assassin in the eye.

"Yes, Mystic." A hint of banter flashed in the assassin's eyes, "Dealing with you, but it's my old job. ”
