Chapter 283: Assassination I.
As Dean had guessed, the duel ended hastily after Count Horsh intervened, ending in a hurry with Loersid paying for a broken arm.
And, of course, the banquet ended.
For this, the Earl of Hosh apologized to Dean and the Grand Duke's master swordsman.
Then he sent them back to their room—not in the Earl's mansion, but in a courtyard between the mountainside and the foot of the mountain.
It's not big, but it's clean, and besides, there's quite a bit of vegetation around.
Although most of the plants have not yet recovered in the real sense, some of the plants that are in the spring of the four seasons have brought a touch of greenery to the whole courtyard.
All in all, it's a great place to stay.
It is enough to see that Count Hosh has put his heart into it.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Dean said goodbye to Bosa, who was walking by the way.
"It's a shame that I'm in charge of the Knights' residency this week! And you're going to leave the day after tomorrow...... I wish you a smooth journey in advance! ”
Bosa shook his head regretfully, and then, sincerely.
"There's still a chance! I only went south because of some family matters, and after that, I will come back; Know that my territory is in Vaubantshire! ”
Dean said with a smile.
"Then, I'll treat you well then!"
Bosa laughed the same.
After that, the two sides waved their arms, there were no too many words and mutual instructions, it was so plain and simple, and this was also the character of this civilian silver knight.
Dean stood on the steps, watching the other depart.
Until the other party completely disappeared. He returned to where he had stayed for the past two days.
"Chad and Maher took someone to check around. And then. Divide into two groups, one bright and one dark, and take turns on duty! ”
Dean commanded.
"Yes, sir!"
The two young men immediately took the others into action.
Of course, Dean didn't expect these subordinates to deal with a crisis that was beyond their capabilities.
It's just to make them more and more accustomed to what they should do as warriors and soldiers.
While the young men of the Knights of Fecharon were in action, Dean stepped into his room, which was not only bright, but also fully furnished.
Even. Inside the fireplace, the flames were already rising.
Disperses the spring chill in the entire room, and keeps it warm.
Replace [imitation. The dragon's head sword stood at the head of the bed, and then the coat hung behind the door.
Then Dean sat down on the chaise longue in front of the fireplace, his eyes narrowed slightly, it was late afternoon, and it was still quite some time before it got dark.
Whether it's waiting for dinner, or waiting for the 'arrangement' of the leader of the lion mercenary group. All enough for Dean to take a short break.
As for hands-on during the day?
Not to mention that it is easy to expose the hidden goods, it is the manpower that the other party needs. It doesn't always have to be in place.
has already been suspected once, Dean does not believe that the other party will do it again if he breaks his arm - not to mention the risks, the problem of strength alone is enough to discourage the other party.
After all, Dean also showed that his strength surpassed that of ordinary knights.
"Is it silver......"
Dean muttered softly.
If you want to be sure of nine out of ten, you must use a silver-level opponent.
However, in the entire county of Horsh, there are only two people at the silver level on the surface, Mott and Bosa, and it is absolutely impossible for these two to participate in the assassination.
The only possibility is something like a Thieves' Guild.
"Being able to have a silver-level powerhouse, such a secret organization, is naturally not to be underestimated, and it has a relationship with such an organization...... Lorcid's apparent need to pay some price to maintain the relationship - Earl of Hosh's movements? Or ......"
Dean silently guessed what might be wrong.
And at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock!
"Instructor, please come in!"
Dean said bluntly.
With just his hearing, Dean could clearly identify the person who came, after all, the sound of footsteps was all too familiar.
"I need to meet Mott, I guess I'll be back after dinner!"
When the Grand Duke's swordsman talked about this former friend again, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
Obviously, the previous 'out-of-the-box' behavior had caused the Grand Duke's swordsman to fall into a kind of embarrassment - and Dean understood this very well.
Even, he could imagine that tomorrow there would be news of 'the Silver Knights being jealous and fighting' throughout Horshshire.
Those celebrities and ladies will definitely be quite happy to help the trouble.
Moreover, there is no need to think about it, the Grand Duke Swordsman and Mott will definitely be the harlequins among them.
The leader of the Lion Mercenary Regiment will play the role of a tragic hero - not only to be sympathetic, but also to be admired.
For those ladies and ladies who don't understand 'reality' at all, Dean really knows what the other party will do.
After eating and drinking enough every day, wearing gold and silver, if something does not happen, they will definitely feel empty in their hearts.
However, treating such rice worms, most of the time, it will also make people feel helpless.
After all, the circle of these ladies and ladies is a microcosm of the upper class, and the network of handkerchiefs and other relationships often makes you helpless.
It may seem like a little lord's daughter, but you can never imagine which baron, viscount's daughter, or lady she is around, or even the daughter or lady of the king of a county.
Men have a circle of men.
Women also have a circle of women.
In other words, women habitually rely on men to conquer the world.
And when these women stand together, it is also the men who stand together.
Dean had learned the power of this.
Let his situation become quite embarrassing, if it weren't for the action of the Jade Grand Duke. He's definitely going to be even more embarrassed.
And with such a lesson. Dean naturally wouldn't take those celebrities lightly.
At least. Before they have the strength to completely crush their men, they will not take the initiative to make contact.
For example: silver, or even gold.
If Mott hadn't reached the silver level, he would never have ignored these celebrities and nobles like this, and even, the means of revenge of these celebrities and nobles would not have been so 'gentle'.
However, even if it is so 'mild'. It's also quite annoying.
It's like a toad lying on the surface of its feet, it can't crush people, but it disgusts people!
Especially the Grand Duke Swordsman, even more so.
After all, her. Sex. The orientation is different from ordinary people.
"Okay, bring it to Mott for me!"
Dean nodded with a smile as he watched the Grand Duke Sword Master leave.
There was speculation, inference, and so on about himself, but Dean didn't say a word.
Because, Dean knew very well that in Loersid's calculations. The departure of the Grand Duke Sword Master is also a necessary part; If. If there is a problem in this link, then nothing will happen after that.
The current assassination is also likely to turn into an ambush on the road or something.
And that's definitely not what Dean wants to see.
He needs to solve the problem in front of him in the fastest and most direct way.
As for the possible appearance of silver-level assassins?
If face-to-face, Dean still has a certain gap in the silver level, then compared to assassination, assassination and other methods, Dean decided to let people understand what an assassin is.
In the previous life, the lone wolf of Hagaslo was an assassin who feared countless people.
In this life, without the title of lone wolf, Dean will only make people more frightened-
Not only does he have the experience of being the strongest assassin, but he also has a body that has never had problems and is steadily changing, becoming more and more powerful.
……
Night, a few hours later, fell.
The guards sent by the Earl of Horsh were politely rejected by Dean; However, the food for dinner was readily accepted by Dean, those lamb chops and beef, as well as pots of vegetable soup and large chunks of white bread, made Dean and his party eat very refreshingly, especially the pot of soup, which made the young people of the Knights of Fecharon full of praise-
"What a delicious soup!"
Chad said.
"Well, it's delicious...... Look, with some clam meat added, it's no wonder it's so delicious! ”
Mach nodded, stirred some soup bowls with a spoon, and immediately, discovered the secret.
"Chad, Maher, I'll leave it to you later, I need to go and take a break—I may have been a little tired from the journey lately, and I want to rest at this time!"
Because of the deliciousness of the soup, Dean ate more food than usual; However, there was a strong sense of tiredness in his expression.
"Leave it to us, sir!"
The two young men replied immediately.
Although they were also a little sleepy, as Dean's subordinates, they naturally wouldn't say anything.
Afterwards, Dean returned to the room and placed the [Swift Thorn] in the [Imitation. On the bedside table next to the dragon's head sword, and then, without even taking off his coat, the whole person lay down on the bed and got into the bed.
A moment later, a clear snoring sounded.
And outside the Knights of Fecharon, the young people on duty also seemed to be a little difficult to resist the invasion of the Sandman, standing at their posts, their heads involuntarily pointing downward.
It was only a moment later that some of the young people had simply fallen asleep against the wall.
At this time, a black shadow stuck to the shadow of the wall, silently bypassing these young people, and entered the courtyard very easily.
Then, with the same ease, the slender dagger opened the door of Dean's room.
Then, a black shadow flashed in.
