231: The night is not dark (2)

Straightening his collar and looking at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Salas straightened his tie with some satisfaction.

"Welcome to Regensburg, guests." At the station, the recorded welcome message was greeted by a mechanical loudspeaker to the people who had just arrived at the station.

Hmph, damn false gods.

Salas looked at the man walking by, and instinctively told himself that he wanted to kill here.

But reason told himself that now was not the time, and that he had come here at the behest of the church to kill the dead remnants of a certain family.

"That old thing has been hunted, and now only the granddaughter of their family remains, go, find her, hunt her, bring her head back, and offer it to our great god!"

Remember the Archbishop's command, which made Salas, as a vicarious, patient—when this is over, we must hunt down more hypocrites and sacrifice their souls to our lord.

By the way, I heard that there will be someone to act with him this time...... What are you kidding, Salas, hunter of Allah, do you still need an assistant?!

Thinking of this, he pulled up his collar, and the man walked to the exit, and he was about to leave the station when he suddenly felt a hint of urine.

Didn't you just solve it on the car, Sara was a little strange, but looking at the empty kettle in his hand, the middle-aged man who felt a little difficult to explain could only turn around and walk to the bathroom of the station.

As he was about to arrive, he noticed a halfling cleaning man pushing a cart out of it, just in time to remove the no-use sign on the door.

That's great.

With this in mind, Salas passed by the halfling, walked into the bathroom, freed himself in front of the urinal, he went to the sink to wash his hands, wiped his face by the way, and when he looked up, he saw the smiling halfling behind him...... Wrong! Not a halfling!

That was Salas' last thought, for in the next second a short sword stabbed through his back like butter, splitting his spine and sending Salas to his knees in front of the pool.

In great pain, he was grabbed by the hair by the hunter with square ears, his head was raised by the force from outside, and a dagger was stabbed into one side and then sliced open.

"Go to hell, remember to say hello to that shit false god of yours on behalf of my lord, and may he forgive you for your incompetence."

It was the last voice Salas could hear.

Sealed with supernatural power, Salas could feel himself dying, but the blade on his back hurt his lungs, making it painful for him to breathe.

The hunter behind him watched as the black blood flowed through the pool until the wound could no longer bleed.

Drawing his dagger, the hunter walked to the exit, and as he opened the door, the corpse sitting in front of the pool began to spontaneously combust him, engulfing him with sacred flames.

"There are two more goals." The companion standing outside the door handed out a report.

"Where are they?" The hunter unsheathed his blade and took the report.

"One of the men we are in charge of is a lurker who gave these two guys a false identity and allowed them to enter the royal capital." The hunter's assistant followed his superior.

"Zhao Jincheng?" The hunter frowned.

"Yes, like you, the surname is Zhao." The assistant said with a smile.

The hunter snorted at this.

………………

"Mr. Kaneshiro, aren't you already off work?" There were questions from colleagues around him, and the man with a belly smiled at this: "I still have a few people's identity lists here that I haven't been able to make, and there are too many outsiders recently." ”

"Yes, there are a lot of cubs who have come to participate in the competition recently, so it's hard for you, I'll go first." The young head of the archives smiled and pushed the door open.

The middle-aged man left behind tugged at the muscles at the corners of his mouth - he had to be here, there would be two Church Assassins entering the royal capital today, and the certificates he had given him, he had to recover these two certificates and destroy them, as for how they would get out of the city, that wasn't something he had to care about.

He is a deep diver and must protect himself.

Pulling out his pocket watch and glancing at the time, 2147 at night, the guy named Salas should have arrived, and the other assassin should be almost here.

As soon as he thought so, the door of the hall was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared in the hall.

"What are you going to do, sir?" The middle-aged man looked at the guest and said the code that he had said beforehand—a code that was common to his profession, but for every customer who came over, the answer would be a little varied.

The tall man did not answer, but pulled out a library card from his hand.

The middle-aged man twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that the guy in front of him was a little out of common sense, but considering that the thing he took out was indeed part of the previous code, so-the first code matched: "You are a library card, and I have the People's Livelihood Bureau here, you are in the wrong place." ”

The tall man shook his head.

“…… Then give it to me, and I'll pass it on for you. After saying that, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and wanted to take the library card, and at the same time scolded in his heart a hundred times - when he handed over the task before, the bastard didn't say that the person who came was dumb!

A certificate slipped into his hand.

The tall man turned and pushed the door open, and the middle-aged man put the roll of paper in the brazier beside him.

Waiting for everything to burn out, he stood up, put away his pen and paper, put away his sundries, closed the drawers, turned off the lights in the hall, walked to the door, turned off the front lights again, and then turned and walked out of the hall, took the door, and locked it.

Halfway through today's work, he would wait for Salas in the lounge on the road - it was not a wise move to wait for two strange guests in the hall in a row, and he would not be able to tell 10,000 mouths if he ran into a colleague on the night shift.

After walking a few steps, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped, and he saw a wallet on the ground.

What is it? He looked around and saw that there was no one.

So he leaned over, picked up the purse, and looked through it, only to find a note.

Opening, by the light of the lighter in his hand, the middle-aged man could read the words on it clearly, and at the same time, his pupils shrank into pinpoint shapes.

He tried to turn around, but a crossbow arrow whizzed through his hardening skin, turning his entire chest into a large open wound that sent him flying backwards.

Eventually, the middle-aged man fell to the ground, and while struggling in pain, he saw the note fall in front of him.

There were only five words on it, but it was like a sledgehammer hitting his heart.

He watched blankly as two small figures appeared in his dimming vision, and in the last moments of his life, he heard a small voice.

"Go to Hell, be sure to tell your Chaos God that Anonymous's blade is greeting him on behalf of her faith."

Another figure pulled out a large box and began to sprinkle something on him.

It was his last memory, and in the next second, the cultists of Chaos stopped his futile breathing.

………………

Matilda returns to the hotel and finds that she still can't sleep, her heart is haggard with fear and despair of the future, and she doesn't know how long she can hold out or when she will fall into despair.

Although it sounds good in front of her sisters, Matilda feels that none of this is the life she should be facing.

The goddess of fate is truly a ruthless god.

Matilda was disgruntled, angry, but unable to do anything.

Sitting on the rooftop of the hotel, she heard a voice behind her as she looked up at the starry sky.

One step, very heavy, two steps, very heavy.

Matilda turned her head, looked at the stranger wrapped in black and smiled, "You're here." ”

Being able to kill his grandfather must be a very formidable opponent, and the cult of the evil gods with such an opponent has already set itself as a target now.

Looking around, Matilda didn't find any other target: "I'm not a paladin anymore, so you think you can deal with me alone, and killing me is enough to gain the favor of the Chaos God...... Right, there's no need to give credit to others. ”

The man in black nodded.

"There are seven mentors down there, and I don't believe you're going to alarm them with the possibility of not completing the task, so...... I'll go first. Matilda turned and jumped out of the hotel—it was only two floors, and she couldn't kill a big-eared fox.

The truth is that she landed safely, and the man jumped off with him.

Matilda chose to climb out of the walls of the hotel - the man wouldn't take any risks, but she couldn't lure the Chaos guy into the hotel, the mentors might be able to deal with him, but the apprentices couldn't.

So she could only kick on the door of the hotel, then turned and jumped up the front door.

She climbed over the wall, and the man chasing her slammed the front door of the hotel open.

"Who!" A mentor pushed open the door and saw two figures, one large and one small, in the distance.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at her companion: "There is a problem, you count the number of people, I'll go out and have a look!" ”

A companion threw the sword at her, she caught it, and then hurried after the two missing targets—she couldn't see them, but she could smell them, the stench of the lackeys of Chaos.

………………

Marin ran through the streets, and as he ran, he expressed his dissatisfaction with public transportation like Wangdu - the result of the lack of a public transportation line was that the large public carriages were stuck in traffic at the intersection and could not move, and Marin had to jump out of the car and start running.

Matilda's condition was not good, Marlin knew that, but he really never knew how much he meant to the big-eared fox girl, and in his memory, he was more like a meal ticket than her master.

This girl cleans for three days, fishes for two days, and dries nets for two days, and eats first every day.

And then today the elf girl says that Matilda needs him, and asks him to go and see him anyway...... What is this, is my Marlin a ginseng fruit? What the hell are you stinky fox doing!

Marin decided to find her and beat her up, then let Faye ask the girl to see what she was thinking.

With this in mind, Marin heard footsteps, and his own heartbeat.

Marin slowed down, and as he got closer and closer to the corner, Marin simply stopped, moved his body, and then saw Matilda shine from the other side of the corner, the big-eared fox ran fast, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Marin, and then saw her tears coming out.

Marin's heart beat faster, and he pulled out the twigs of the World Tree, and Marlin used one of them to bring the big-eared fox behind him.

Then a man strode around the corner.

For a moment, Marin wondered if he had gone on the wrong set.

Big bald head, big sunglasses, tall figure, heavy black trench coat, cold expression, and paralyzed corners of the mouth...... Wait a minute, Kahi, do you really take good care of your magic carpet?

Then in the next second, Marin saw this big guy rushing towards him.

"Get out of the way, don't get in my way." Marin said to the big-eared fox behind him, and then the two branches of the World Tree merged into a long stick, which had a big advantage in the length of the weapon in his hand, and Marlin used it to tap the big guy.

There was no reaction at all, and Marlin felt like it was on the planet beneath his feet - it was a hard point, Marin had never seen a guy who could catch his seventy percent of the salted fish spike.

Although Marin knew that there were many people, such as the one who was full of strength and was afraid that he would be able to catch his full force with one hand, but the guy in front of him didn't even burst his [apex] suit, and he didn't even raise his hand!

Thinking of this, Marin quickly took three steps back, and at the same time the long stick was untied, and Lorraine plunged into the ground, and then drilled out of the ground to entangle the big man's legs.

In the next second, Marin watched Lorraine struggle in the air with the wind following this person's footsteps, very helpless.

Not afraid of the sacred twigs, and ignoring the spikes, Marin thought about it, shook his hand and gave this guy a flame burst, and the instant flame burst engulfed the big guy directly, and then watched Marin watch this big guy walk out of the flames.

I'll go, don't eat spikes, ignore the restraints, and now I can still catch fireballs with my face, where did this monster come from!

Thinking so, Marin saw his hood turn into ashes under the flames, revealing a purely mechanical head.

Wait a minute...... I haven't written about this subject yet!

With such a sense of surprise, Marin saw the twisted runes on the mechanical skull.

"It's a Warp Warframe!" Matilda behind her reminded.

Marlin turned and followed the big-eared girl back away, listening to her answer—this was a self-propelled armor from before the Age of Great Destruction, and it was often seen in the Destruction Zone and the Black Zone east of the Eastern Kingdom, and the twisted Chaos Rune on its head was probably the product of Chaos being captured and distorted.

Matilda made Marin understand, and then made him wonder if the Great Destruction was 10,000 years ago, how could this thing be so long-lasting, 10,000 years later, their transmission structure really won't be broken?

With this in mind, Marin ordered Lorraine and Fio to find its lower limb drive, so two small branches wrapped around its legs and burrowed into its pants, and the creature's speed slowed down visibly until it lifted its left leg, but it was never able to take a step.

The machine then fell to the ground.

"We fixed it?" Matilda looked at the automaton cautiously.

Should. Marlin said as he pulled out the Bloody Roar and its original axe handle, took the axe and turned around half a circle, slamming the back of the Bloody Roar's thick axe on the arm of the machine, breaking the arms that he could still use, and Marlin knocked its head open, and when the black oil in the pipeline spewed out of the gap, the mechanical body finally stopped.

"I thought I was going to die." The big-eared fox turned to look at Marin: "Why did you come here?" ”

"I've heard people say you need me." Instead of retrieving the two small branches that smelled of oil, Marin asked them to find a place to dispose of the dirt on their bodies first.

The big-eared fox was silent for a moment, then hugged Marin's neck.

Then they both heard footsteps, and together they turned their heads around the corner, just in time to see a woman with a blue nose and swollen face coming out of the shadows.

"Mentor!" Matilda blew up.

"You little bastard." The lady covered her face after speaking, because she pulled her facial muscles, and she felt the pain, and finally she could only give a simple order: "Go back to the hotel." ”

After a moment's thought, Marin led the little fox and followed the lady, while Lorraine and Fio wrapped themselves in the mechanical body's legs and dragged it behind their master.
