Chapter 431: Prologue to the Assassination
With gray-black skin, handsome countenance, and signature pointed ears, the two dark elves' clumsy disguises are nothing before the Crown of the Wise.
Reopening his eyes, Ivan smiled silently, turned his head to the sausage brother who was following behind him, and said, "Hey, there's business coming to the door." β
β¦β¦
"I hate the smell here. How much longer are we going to stay, Stealess? β
"Until we find the right person."
The black-robed man exchanged heads for a while, and at this moment, Steven, who was full of smiles. Mori walked towards them.
"Two brothers, do you need to recruit people?"
Steven seemed to be enthusiastically trying to hug the two dark elves, but the latter avoided them left and right.
"Yes, the two of us are looking for a partner. But why don't you check out the bulletin board first, maybe there's a task that works better for you. β
The dark elf under the black robe stared at Brother Sausage vigilantly, the tall man in front of him with a skin color similar to theirs talked to them as soon as he came, something was wrong, and he had to be careful.
Steven waved his finger exaggeratedly, and said with a disgusted expression: "No, no, no, the tasks there are too boring." At this point, he paused, then suddenly leaned closer to Dresses and whispered, "A mission like killing the Pope is interesting." β
"Don't move!"
At some point, Elf circled behind Steven, who instantly felt something touch his waist.
"O, don't excite your friends."
Steven didn't look like his life was threatened, and he even touched the dagger in the dark elf's hand with his back.
The cold touch made him shiver, and he thought that this thing had slit the throat of the Marquis of Lehman Truman.
"I said don't move!"
Steven's rash actions completely annoyed Elf, and he reached forward to send it forward, and the tip of the dagger disappeared into Steven's body.
In order not to make a bigger move, his blow was not fatal, but only made the other party feel a pain to the bone.
But Steven's reaction was completely beyond his expectations. He shrugged his shoulders as if nothing happened, perhaps because it was too amusing to see the expressions of the two dark elves, and he even shook his body back and forth in a wicked way, and the sharp dagger went in and out of his body, leaving several horrible wounds.
βohyes~come on baby~β
Steven screamed and turned his head towards Elwin with a defiant look. The dark elf unbelievably performed a housekeeping stunt, a black light flashed, and Steven, whose head moved, didn't seem to have reacted to what was happening, and the head hanging upside down on his neck stared at Elwin for a few seconds...... He grinned wickedly.
βhi~β
"Let's go."
Stirry pulled past Elwin and quickly ran towards the gate. Brother Sausage regained his head and quickly left the Adventurer's Guild.
The NPCs in the hall are doing something, as if they didn't see the scene at all. And the players are not surprised by this, who hasn't lost their heads yet?
[Daddy's Sausage]:
"Ivan, they're heading for you."
Ivan, who received the news, stood quietly in the alley wearing the crown of the wise man, and sure enough, it didn't take long for two men in black cloaks to hurry in.
It stands to reason that unless the other party is a mage who can cast a sixth-level spell mage's eye (the mage's eye here refers to a real spell, not a castrated version of it replaced with alchemical items), and has prepared this magic in advance before they come in, he may find a high-level dark elf in a stealth state.
So they directly ignored Ivan, who had no spell fluctuations on his body, and was about to avoid him and continue walking, but was stopped by Ivan accurately.
"Don't rush to leave, let's find a place to talk."
Steven. Mori came here on his hind feet, and he greeted Elf from a distance, who had de-staggered, and leaned against the wall with his arms folded, blocking the entrance to the alley.
"What are you going to talk about?" Strease asked, holding down a restless Elwin. The great strength shown by Ivan and Steven made him dare not act rashly.
"Talking about the assassination of the Pope, of course."
The words "assassinating the Pope" seemed to be the most common thing that came out of Ivan's mouth.
Stelles took off his hood, his black robe resembling a human's magical object, losing its cover, and the dark elf revealing its unrivaled beauty.
"Why do you want to help us?"
Even the look of distrust in his emerald green pupils did not prevent Ivan from appreciating its beauty. Given the female with these beautiful eyes? As if he had misunderstood something, he quickly explained: "No, of course this won't be free. β
"How much do you want?"
Although the Elven Continent does not have the currency of the Human Empire, it has many natural unmined gold and silver mines. Dresser felt confident in this regard, and was not even prepared to bargain.
"One hundred thousand third-level demon cores, plus ten thousand second-level demon cores."
ββ¦β¦ That's impossible! β
With such a huge number of demon cores, only a few special institutions of the Heart of Spells and a very small number of archmages could possibly get them. What's more, the price of a second-level magic core is more than twenty times that of a third-level magic core, and in terms of price alone, the value of 10,000 second-level magic cores even exceeds 100,000 third-level magic cores.
Ivan knew very well that the elf couldn't come up with the money, he was just asking for a price just now, and he didn't even know what the second-level demon core looked like.
"Of course, you can also trade something else. I heard that there is a special product called the World Tree on the Elven Continent, and you can also exchange it for the World Tree. β
"Dress!" Elf angrily yelled at Celes, who salivated with difficulty and replied jerkily, "It's also impossible, if the elves lose the World Tree, they will gradually disappear in this world without you coming." β
"Well, we don't need a whole World Tree, seeds, flowers, leaves, branches, roots, a little bit of everything."
Ivan looks like he's cheapened by you, but as long as he gets one of these things, he can give it to Is.
Stirres hesitated for a long time, and even Elf quieted down, and finally he nodded and replied, "Okay, deal." But before Ivan could smile, the dark elf said, "We'll go back and prepare these things, but before you can do that, you must prove your strength." We need to know if you really have the power to kill the Pope of the Holy Light. β
"How do you prove it?"
"Lehman Empire, Danga Empire, Amdo Highlands......" Dresses burst out the names of more than twenty countries in one breath, all of which were the empires that attacked the Elven Continent with the Holy Knights this time, "Kill the rulers of these countries, kill them, and prove whether your strength is really qualified to cooperate with us." β
