Chapter 14: The Shadow Blade

Wren slowed down to the river and stood ten paces away from Ramsay.

He looked around and found that this river beach was the same place where he had climbed up from the river half a month ago, and now he came here again, but the situation was completely reversed, which was a bit dramatic.

Ramsey knelt there, his hands above his head, not daring to move at all.

He had seen the power of the gun in Wren's hand with his own eyes, and Wren had definitely killed Esperger.

Only the transcendent can kill another transcendent, and this must be a powerful "gunslinger"!

He had no night vision, and could only see a dark shadow approaching.

The gunman stood there without speaking, but with terrible pressure. And his back was injured, the double torture of pain and fear made his forehead break out in cold sweat, and when the river wind blew, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"What secrets do you know?" Wren asked.

Ramsey's heart was relieved, he saw a glimmer of hope to live, and suddenly felt that the gunman's voice sounded very familiar, and immediately remembered it in his mind, and subconsciously shouted: "Wren?"

He could never be mistaken, it was Wren's voice.

After being a classmate in the Transcendent Academy for three years, he had a good relationship, and then died at his own hands, he will never forget Wren, who was loved by many female classmates in the academy and hated by male classmates at the same time.

One of the reasons why Ramsay introduced Wren to the sword hall as an assistant at that time was that he was secretly jealous of Wren and dragged him into the water in retaliation.

In the darkness, the figure of the gunman became more and more familiar, which convinced Ramsay that this person was Wren.

"Are you Wren?" Ramsey asked, stunned and incredulous.

Bang!

Ramsey was answered by a gunshot, and the fire flashed in front of his eyes, and then there was a sharp pain in his hand, and when he turned his head, he found that his right palm was gone, and only half of his forearm remained, and blood gushed out.

"Ah......h

He pressed the cut in his forearm with his left hand, trying to stop the bleeding, but it was of little use, and he quickly bit off the strip of cloth from his clothes with his mouth, and quickly wrapped it around the wound and tied it tightly, relieving a little pain.

Wren didn't shoot again, just pulled the handguard and reloaded.

Compared to what Ramsay did to himself half a month ago, he was beaten for several hours, and then killed people and threw his body, and now breaking one of his palms is just to charge some interest.

"Can you say it now?" Wren said unhurriedly.

Ramsey's face turned pale, and he looked at Wren, not daring to ask why Wren didn't die and became a transcendent. He was almost desperate in his heart, knowing that Wren would not let him go, but he was unwilling to die like this, and his mind was spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to live.

In Wren's eyes, Ramsay's soul color shifts back and forth between red, black, gray and blue, mixed with fear, despair, anger, and the strongest hatred!

"I don't have a lot of time and my patience is limited. Wren's muzzle moved.

"Don't, don't shoot!"

Ramsey hurriedly raised his intact left hand and begged for mercy: "I said." ”

"Asperger is a member of the Shadowblades, a Shadowblade Slayer. His real name is not Esperger, but Trickor, who is on the Empire's wanted list, and only went to Lonsbud last year as Esperger, as if to carry out a secret mission. ”

Wren frowned, a little surprised.

He had guessed that there was a force behind Asperger, but he didn't expect it to be Shadow Blade.

He had heard of the name of Shadowblade, the most famous killer organization in the Empire, which was notorious and had existed for hundreds of years and committed countless major crimes. Every Shadow Blade Killer is a transcendent, but it is not limited to Shadow Warriors, and many transcendent classes may be Shadow Blade Killers, lurking around people.

The Empire and the Three Great Churches have been trying to eradicate this killer organization, but the Shadow Blade Killer is like a weed, killing and popping up one batch after another, and they are always unable to cut the roots.

It is rumored that the reason why Shadow Blade is so difficult to eradicate is that this killer organization has the support of an evil god behind it, and its members believe in this evil god and establish an underground church, that is, a cult!

"What secret mission?" Wren asked.

"I don't know. ”

Ramsey shook his head, saw the gun moving in the dark, and quickly explained: "Don't shoot, I really don't know." Elsperger's mission to Ronssland was something I accidentally guessed. ”

"He found me at the beginning of the year and promised to give me money to hold a soul transformation ceremony, and help me obtain demon souls in the future, but he asked me to stay in the academy, inquire about the affairs of the academy, and pay attention to the whereabouts of some big people. ”

"In addition to me, Asperger's other eyeliner has been installed in the academy. ”

"I once ran into him secretly in contact with someone else, and after discussing it for a long time, that person is probably also a Shadow Blade Killer, and has a higher status than Esperger. I didn't dare to get closer, but I only heard a few words, it seemed to be related to the Silver Star Academy, and the Shadow Blade Killer should be lurking inside the Silver Star Academy. ”

When Wren heard this, his heart sank.

There are three transcendent colleges in Longshan De City, but there are big differences between the three colleges in terms of background and faculty.

Claydon College, where he and Ramsey worked, had the largest number of people, but it was also the weakest, and the students were mainly civilians, and they could enter as long as they paid money, and the chances of becoming transcendent were the lowest.

However, Claydon College has a large student base, and even if the probability is the lowest, it cultivates the most extraordinary people every year, accounting for more than sixty percent of the total number of Longshande.

In fact, Claydon College is a public academy of the Empire, and in addition to training the transcendent, it also has more than a dozen specialized courses. Including grammar, art, language, law, history, architecture, alchemy, machinery, etc., as long as you take one of the courses and pass the exam, you can get the college's graduation certificate.

The second is the Stuart Hall Academy, which was jointly established by the aristocratic class and the big businessmen of Longshande, which is mainly elite education, belongs to the aristocratic college, and the annual tuition fee is more than 100 gold guilders, and the number of students is only one-tenth of that of Claydon College, but each student's family is either rich or expensive.

However, the best college in Lonzander is Silver Star College.

Because the Silver Star Academy was opened by His Excellency the Duke and served as its own dean.

Silver Star College only admits the most talented students, not only does it not have to pay tuition, all fees are free, and a bursary is issued to all students every month, which is equivalent to three months' salary of ordinary workers. With such generous conditions, tens of thousands of people sign up every year, but only a few hundred lucky ones are able to enroll.

Wren also signed up for Silver Star Academy a few years ago, and like most people, he was quickly eliminated.

As one of the only twelve Holy Soul Wizards in the Empire, the Duke of Silver Star naturally focuses on cultivating wizards, so people call Silver Star Academy the Wizard Academy.

As long as you graduate from Silver Star Academy, you are eligible to continue your studies in the Wizarding Tower, or join the Duke's Secret Fire Guard.

In other words, Silver Star Academy is actually the Duke's wizarding training camp.

If Ramsay's words are true, it means that Shadow Blade has a plot against the Silver Star Academy, even against the Duke of Silver Star himself!

This is a major event that could shake up the entire Orion Empire.

The Duke of Silver Star is not only one of only twelve Holy Soul Wizards in the Empire, but also a member of the Supreme Council of Cermetis, the highest authority in the Empire.

The empire is called an empire, but since the beginning of the new era in 1355, there has been no emperor for more than a thousand years, and only the "consuls" selected by the Supreme Council every ten years are the nominal leaders who exercise the power to govern the empire.

While every Holy Soul Wizard is a member of the High Council, the Duke of Silver Star has an even more important identity, and that is the Chosen One of the Goddess of Magic!

In an empire ruled by sorcerers and worshipped in the goddess of magic, there is hardly anyone more noble than the Duke of Silverstar.

Wren shook his head slightly, this kind of big man is too far away, and it is not his turn to intervene.

He doesn't want to "eat the life of XX oil and the heart of XX sea".

Even if the Duke of Silver Star is assassinated, he has a relationship with me in Copper?

Whether it is a Holy Soul Wizard with a career level of more than twenty, or a Shadow Blade who secretly serves the evil god, the battle between the two, if the slightest ripple, can easily crush oneself into ashes.

It's a big secret, but it's not about you.

Wren didn't want to ask about the academy anymore, and said lightly, "Do you have any last words?"

Ramsey's face changed drastically, he trembled with fright, and said loudly: "Wren, don't kill me!

"We've always been best friends, you fell out with your family, and you didn't have tuition, so I introduced you to the sword gym to Esperger's assistant, I really just wanted to help you. ”

"If you hadn't gone to the Church of Justice at the time, how could I have done anything to you?"

"I don't want to kill you either, it's all Esperger's forcing me!"

"Wren, I'm sorry for you, for the sake of our classmates for a few years, leave me alive! I also have no choice, my mother has been seriously ill in bed for many years, and my father owes a lot of gambling debts outside, so I have done a lot of bad things with Asperger, but this is not my intention......"

Ramzie's tearful confession looked miserable, but his only intact left hand grabbed a handful of mud and sand on the river beach, and crawled on his knees, trying to get closer while Wren was not looking.

Wren saw these small movements clearly.

So he didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Bang, gunshots rang out by the river, Ramsay's pleas for mercy stopped abruptly, and his head exploded like a watermelon, turning into a headless corpse.

A soul flew out and was absorbed by Wren.

Wren felt the pleasure of the rising power, looked at the river, the night breeze brushed his face, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, there was an inexplicable emotion echoing in his chest.

This emotion is called comfort and happiness, and my soul seems to be sublimated!

He finally realized the saying: "The taste of revenge is as sweet as honey." ”
