Chapter Eighty-Six: The Killer
"Thank you, young Dragonborn, this letter is so important."
The black elf councillor, who grabbed the red goatee on his chin, looked at the letter in his hand and thanked Kashia, "You are as rumored, and you can solve problems wherever you go. ”
"Oh, is that the rumored person I am?" Hearing the other party's evaluation, Kexia was also a little curious, "Can you tell me specifically?" ”
"It's just nosy, and likes to run errands for people." Before Councilor Morfan could answer, Serana on the side spoke first.
"Serana!?" Keshia turned her head sideways and stared at the vampire girl who had been traveling with her for a long time with a pair of big eyes, "I'm here to earn money to support my family!" ”
"If it weren't for that, how would we know each other?" The corners of Serana's mouth turned up slightly, and her blood-red eyes stared at the Dragonborn, "You're not good at refusing other people's requests. ”
"Ha, Serana, you know me so well." Kashia hugged the other and rubbed against Serana's chest until a rapid dry cough was heard.
It's good to be young, Congressman Morfan sighed in his heart.
And the letter in his hand brought back bad memories for him.
It has been more than 140 years since Rayliel Morfan took over and managed Ravenstone from his deceased mother, and he still remembers the assassination a hundred years ago, when the Rydoran Guard, led by Captain Verisch, not only prevented the murder in time, but also captured the Assassin from the House of Larue, Villo Ulen, and personally sentenced the Assassin and all his accomplices to death.
The management of Morrowind Province is in charge of the wealthy council composed of several large black elf families, because of their respective interests, the relationship between the major families is not so harmonious, and the Larue family was expelled from the wealthy council because of the Radoran family's ascension.
Since the two families have been at odds for many years, the Larue family believes that the Ritoran family is behind this matter. The Assassins were sent to prove to the High Council that the Rydoran family was not as powerful as they appeared.
Now that so many years have passed, although he has been guarding against the Larue family, Councilor Morvin did not guess that the Severin family was actually colluding with each other.
Because of the depletion of the ebony mine, the Rui Doran family can no longer make ends meet in Ravenstone Town, and he even took out the remaining coffins to ensure the food and clothing of the town's residents, and transformed the town into a livelihood based on fishing and hunting.
Suffice it to say, there wasn't much value in seizing the stewardship of Ravenstone, and he couldn't understand why the Severines would do so because of a councilor's position.
"Inform Captain Verish, and gather all the Rydoran guards!"
Councilor Morfan gave a serious order to the guards on duty in the mansion.
After a while, he saw his best friend, Vice Councilor Adel walking in with a sad face, "Another batch of ash demons has appeared outside the city, these monsters are really inexhaustible!" ”
Hearing Adel's words, Councilor Morfan knew that Verish must have left the city, and he had to let the few guards left in the city go to Severin's house to arrest him.
"How did you choose this time to carry out the assassination!?"
The house of the Severin family, Mi Li looked at the dozen or so killers from the Morag gang in front of her.
It is an organization formed by the Dark Elves, which predates the origins of the Dark Brotherhood, and has been implicated in several assassinations against the Emperor.
Although the Morag Gang suffered a major blow hundreds of years ago, the group is now revived.
"My lord, most of the guards in the city have been restrained by the ash demons outside the city, and now is the best time." A member of the Morrag Gang who was dressed in light armor in the style of a beetle's shell and a pair of goggles made of pale green crystal on his helmet said with his head bowed.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Morwen hurried in from the outside, "I saw a group of Ruidoran guards coming towards us!" Surely our plan was discovered! ”
"Shut up!" Mi Li poked the dagger in her hand into the wooden table, and the action seemed to be stabbing into the body of the guy in front of her, and Mo Wen couldn't help but shudder.
"The plan has changed, we can't stay here anymore, let's withdraw first!"
"My lord, it's just a small group of guards, and their large army is not here," the Morag Killer looked up at the Black Elves standing up, "I'll cut off the head of the Councillor of Ravenstone myself." ”
Mi Li glanced at the killer in front of her and said coldly, "This is an order!" ”
The killer, who wanted to say anything more, was pulled by his companion beside him, but he still kept his mouth shut.
Guarded by members of the Morag Gang, the members of the Severin family ran out of the house before they could carry anything.
Seeing a group of people in front of Severin's house who were about to leave along the east coast, Councillor Morfan, who was following behind the Redoran guards, did not know that the other party wanted to flee, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush forward.
"Your Excellency?" The killer from earlier asked the black elf woman behind him again.
"Go ahead." A cruel smile tugged at the corners of Mi Li's mouth, "Let's see if you can actually bring the councilor's head back." ”
The killer nodded, drew the dagger at his waist and arced in the air, and then, more than half of the killer followed him and ran quickly towards Rui Duoran's guards.
"What should we do?" Looking at the two teams that had already fought each other, Mo Wen cringed and asked Mi Li.
Glancing at the guy with disdain, Mi Li didn't look at the battle that was taking place, "Let's go!" ”
Mo Wen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed the other party's footsteps, and from time to time he glanced back at the abandoned manor.
The original killer didn't notice that the adult he was talking about had left, and his eyes were now firmly locked on Councilor Morfan, who was not far away.
The dagger stabbed through the gap in the skeleton armor of the Ritoran guard, blood splattered on his face, and with a single blow he incapacitated the arm of one of the guards' weapons, and without hindrance, he flew straight out of the crowd.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen the councillor of Ravenstone Town having his throat cut in horror.
The next moment, the killer saw a flash of red light light up in front of him, and his entire body became stiff for a moment.
The out-of-control body kept a forward posture and was about to fall forward, and then, a bone cracking sound sounded, and the killer watched the black-haired woman appear in front of him and slammed his fist into his chest, and the fainting pain came, and after a whirlwind, he fell back to the ground heavily.
Who is this!?
With one last question, the sword pierced the killer's chest.
