Chapter 18: The Assassin Alive

It was a muscular Assassin who was the minor leader of an Assassin Order, and in times of chaos, there were always many of them. The assassin was wrapped in black, and even the dagger was blackened, and he knew that the goal of this mission was not simple, so he planned and infiltrated carefully every step.

He didn't know how he was exposed, and what was even more puzzling was that he was found out without knowing what was going on. The strange force curled him up like a cold, slippery invisible python, and then hung upside down by the campfire like a commodity about to be auctioned. The thief struggled unwillingly, but the cold force made his bones rattle.

Hawkers,Actually, there's nothing to be reluctant about.,Although Xiaobai didn't come from the body.,But you're not the god of assassins.。 Besides, the god of assassins had already been killed by Xiaobai and turned into scum.

Hao Yun and Cynthia were taken aback, they were still talking about it at night by the fireside, why did they come to such a show.

"Huh? Who is this? Hao Yun didn't even react, this was an assassin.

"I don't know, there are several, why don't you ask?" Xiaobai waved his hand indifferently, and without taking his eyes off the novel, five more men in black were pulled out and hung there. The leader of the thieves, who had lost hope, did not struggle anymore.

Cynthia calmed down, put on a few shields for herself, and then cautiously approached the assassin who was pinched in the air. After discovering that they really couldn't break free, the female mage took off their masks.

The assassins all had snake bone tattoos on their faces, and Cynthia was thinking about it, when Rigwo arrived not far away. He tried his best to pretend to be extremely sorry for his dereliction of duty, and after seeing the snake bone tattoo, the mercenary old fritter suddenly found an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

"Isn't this Farah's Shadow Thorn?"

"Farah? Farah the lame? ”

Cynthia cried out, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and sat there dejectedly.

"This Farah is famous?" Seeing Cynthia sitting there in despair, ignoring herself, Hao turned her head to ask Rigwo.

The tall mercenary didn't answer, but scratched his stubble-covered chin and pondered. Years of mercenary career have taught this originally honest farmer to think. People who are only brave and ruthless usually don't go long in this line.

The ambush of Bantrov during the day was already suspicious, but it could still be interpreted as a desire for money. But when it comes to Farah, it's a huge conspiracy. The king of mercenaries obviously won't look at the back with such a little net worth, so Cynthia's purpose for this trip is very suspicious.

It feels like this business is at a loss, he thought.

"The mercenary group of Farah the lame wolf is the most powerful, so it is called the king of mercenaries and the co-master of the mercenaries in the north. The Shadow Thorns are his scout troops, and they do some dirty work. ”

Rigwo didn't want to offend Hao Yun and Xiaobai, a pair of strange CPs, the powerful shadow thorns were usually existences that he could only look up to, but now they were hanging in the air inexplicably like chickens waiting to be slaughtered, and they couldn't even bite the poison sacs in their teeth. Rigwo explained to Hao Yun honestly.

"The lame wolf has always been active in the north, and will never wave his army south for the slightest thing. Miss Cynthia had better explain why she was being targeted, otherwise the brothers would die a little unjustly. "The steelback beast Rigwo is also quite unhappy, and this guy who can be regarded as a good person can hardly accept the inexplicable death of a dozen good brothers.

He was willing to make up for the intrigues among the nobles, provided that he could not participate in them.

Cynthia's mind raced, realizing that the plan had been exposed in advance. What's the problem? She sighed, but did not answer the mercenary's question:

"Let's try these shadow stabs first."

With a wave of his hand, the assassins were thrown over to the mercenary. Rigwo gave Cynthia a deep look and ordered to leave.

The campfire crackled, and the sparks that popped up from time to time were carried by the wind blowing from the lake over Cynthia's flickering face. Hao Yun sighed and asked:

"Cynthia, you're in a lot of trouble."

The female mage smiled bitterly, she didn't know this. The career that the father and daughter have been planning for many years has been exposed before it has even begun. This time I went to Kalihiri, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. But no matter what, she won't give up.

But Cynthia was depressed in her heart, there were few people to confide in the grievances she had suffered over the years, after all, she was only a girl in her twenties, and there would always be a time when she needed a tree hole.

The two otherworldly travelers in front of him seem to be good people to talk to, at least, Hao Yun and Xiaobai will definitely not be the traitors sent by the mercenaries. If Farah was powerful and extravagant enough to hire a powerhouse from another world to be a traitor here, then it would be easier for Cynthia to close her eyes and give up resistance.

"Would you like to hear my story?"

"Listen up." Hao Yun was sitting precariously, and even Xiaobai put down the novel and listened carefully. The soft girl still likes this big sister.

Cynthia's father, Duke Arian, was a fairly enlightened high nobleman who advocated kindness to commoners, proposing that commoners were the cornerstone of the kingdom. Such deviant remarks were naturally ridiculed by other nobles, but they deeply infected their daughter Cynthia. The father and daughter are deeply saddened by the troubled times when the Glyas mercenaries are fighting and the people are not making a living, and they are also very worried about the mercenary forces that are becoming more and more powerful in the southern countries.

While studying at Robert's School of Magic, Cynthia came into contact with the upper echelons of the Silver Leaf Mage Alliance. These wise mages echoed the concerns of Duke Erien's father and daughter. Together, they worked out a secret alliance to unite Robert, Eaton, and Trich, the three most powerful kingdoms in the South. The secret alliance is ready to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression of mercenary organizations in the territory at the agreed time at the same time. In the final agreed meeting, an old mage who hated mercenaries excitedly broke his staff, so the plan was called "Project Broken Staff".

On this trip to Kalihri, Cynthia is hiding the scroll of the Triple Pact and the time when the war plan will be launched. As long as Trich's Supreme personally confirms, the Three Kingdoms can launch on time.

It's just that in the current situation, the plan to break the war is likely to have leaked out. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the cripple holding itself back at this critical point in time.

Xiaobai and Hao Yun listened with relish, and if some of these terms were replaced with "military unification", "central unification", and "underground party", it would be even more exciting.

At this time, Rigwo, who had finished the "technical work", came over, and he spread his hands: "I don't know much information about these dog things, I only know that the target is Miss Cynthia." He paused, "Also, leave no mouth alive." ”

Cynthia bowed apologetically to the mercenary, "Captain Rigwo, I'm sorry to get you involved. If you and your friend are willing to continue this escort mission, I'm willing to triple the commission, and if not, if you leave now, I'll pay the original commission. ”

"No, I've just discussed it with the other fellows, so let's continue to escort you. Triple is triple as much! Rigwo scratched the messy hair on his head in annoyance.

He really wanted to turn around and run away with his brothers now, just like the name "back" represents. But he didn't want to run away this time. On the one hand, the entire mercenary group liked Cynthia, and the tolerance and kindness of this great nobleman came from the heart, not the hypocrisy of other nobles. People are not plants, everyone can feel Cynthia's sincerity.

On the other hand, the words "leave no life" deeply angered this middle-aged man who had been running away all his life. Who are we messing with? But I just want to eat. Even the lowliest slave will always have an impulse once in his life, and the steelback beast Rigwo wants to be just like he used his hoe to gouge off the head of a noble medical officer.

"And what about the two?" Cynthia turned her head and asked Hao Yun, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Ah, we need to talk about it." Hao Yun pulled Xiaobai aside and whispered.

"What do you think of Senior Xiaobai?"

"I think it's ...... Ahh Xiao Bai paused a little hesitantly, "The reason for the sharp decline in the population of Glias has been found, it should be the mercenary scuffle." It stands to reason that we should go back and report back to the Director now. Hao Yun, what do you think? ”

In fact, both of them wanted to stay and help Cynthia. I'm afraid that I will be scolded for being nosy when I go back. The director has said, don't create a humanitarian crisis. They had to think about their reasons to stay and help.

"But the director also said that if the problem is simple, it can be solved easily, right?" Seeing Xiaobai nodded, Hao Yun continued to plan, "In short, Xiaobai senior, you don't want to make a random move, and the director won't say anything if you want to." If it works well. Let me tell you, the status of the office is up to you, and the only way is to talk less and do more. The leader said one, we do three, in the long run, it will definitely be reused, and the high-ranking officials will be prosperous and rich in one fell swoop. ”

"But I'm not interested in high-ranking officials." Xiaobai protested, and she thought to herself, Hao Yun said less and more to do, you don't look at how you talk so much nonsense, a lot of it.

"What about bonuses? Didn't the director say last time that if the local problem is solved alone, there will be a bonus of 2,000 yuan. ”

"If I don't make a move, can you be reliable?" Two thousand yuan is a bit of a big attraction to Xiaobai.

"How can there be a reason to let girls be in front, stand behind me when there is a fight." Hao Yun played a handsome role, but this was also his true thoughts.

"It's like you're better than me." Xiaobai's mouth is high, and his heart is beautiful.

After the two agreed, they returned to Cynthia.

"As a bard, you will never refuse to witness an epic." Hao Yun stretched out his right hand to Cynthia, "This is the etiquette of our world, expressing cooperation and friendship. ”

Cynthia smiled, and also stretched out her right hand to shake it with him: "It seems that the meaning of the handshake is universal to the multiverse. ”

Xiaobai said: "And me? ”

Cynthia reluctantly gave her her left hand.
