The Assassin of Light, Kyros, died in a trade, a trade between the Tower of China and the Lord of White Wave City.

Three years ago, the all-out war of the countries on the mainland finally ended with the kingdom losing more than half of its land and the empire losing one-third of its land. Originally, the Chinese Tower had the spare strength to continue to expand, but they faced pressure from two sides, and finally took the initiative to end the war. The first is the pressure from the Divine Presence Sect of the Nature Temple from all directions, but Xiao Chen and the others don't want to fight with the Nature Temple after just finishing a big battle. Later, through the mediation of Roland and other modern priests, this contradiction was not expanded, and the second was the limited cadre team of the Chinese Tower, and it would take a lot of time to digest the seized land.

But not long after the end of this war, the orc tribes in the north and the city-states in the south were not in chaos, and the tiger tribe and the wolf tribe among the orcs fought for the royal court. The war eventually affected more than a dozen tribes, and two-thirds of the orc tribes were involved in the dispute. In the end, the wolf clan defeated the tiger clan and won the victory, but the orc tribes were also greatly damaged. Therefore, although Emperor Alfred was killed in battle at the same time, his youngest son succeeded to the throne, the two dukes rebelled, and civil strife began in the empire, but the orcs did not have the strength to take the opportunity to invade the south.

On the other hand, not long after the war in the central part of the continent calmed down, careerists from the southern city-states emerged, using excuses to create disputes and want to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their power.

More than a year ago, Avram, the lord of Reef City, reprimanded Mendina, the lord of Coconut Tree City, for colluding with the Sea Clan to attack their caravan and then wage war against Coconut Tree City. The war did not last for a few months before it ended with the complete defeat of Coconut Tree City. Reef City has brought Coconut Tree City under its rule. Next, Afram pointed the finger at Sunset City, and even the reason for sending troops was the same, and in the same way, Sunset City did not last long before it was conquered. The addition of two city-states at once made the power of Reef City swell all of a sudden, if it was changed to other city lords to do this, it would have been jointly attacked by other cities a long time ago, but Reef City is different, Afram is the only sage of the southern city-states, the youngest son of Quiros.

It was not without its own protests that the city-state coalition had lodged its own protests. But all the protests were blocked by Kiros.

He said to the emissary of the alliance: "Whoever bullies my son, he must pay the price, and if anyone stands in the way of this, it is against me personally." And all those who opposed me died. If you think there's anyone more powerful than Sosa, the Sage of Time, try my Deathlight. ”

Quiros's prestige in the southern city-states made everyone dare not speak out against it, and the city-states were originally disunited and had their own ghosts, so the two wars ended in the end.

After attacking twice, Afram's Reef City also stopped for a while, and after nearly a year, he didn't make any moves, but just half a month later, he repeated his old trick, once again accusing White Wave City of attacking their caravan in the open sea, causing a ship to sink.

The Lord of White Wave City, Peles, knew that this was all a frame-up, the ship was obviously sunk in a storm, and his own fleet had rescued two seamen from Reef City, but his argument was very pale in front of a sage.

Peles also tried to form an alliance against Reef City, but several city lords who were interested in it retreated after being warned by Kiros. In desperation, he had no choice but to recruit mercenaries and prepare for war. But he knew very well that no matter how he prepared, under the huge military superiority and master advantage of Reef City, it would be impossible to escape the fate of defeat.

However, just when he was about to lose faith, several messengers from the Tower of China secretly approached him.

They gave him a choice to cooperate with them in assassinating Kiros. Peles did not know the reason for the hostility between the Tower of China and Kiros, and in his opinion, the reason why the Chinese wanted to oppose Kiros was that they did not want to see a strong country rise in the south. However, this reason was enough for him to convince himself. The heads of the lords of Coconut Tree City and Sunset City were hung on the gates of Reef City before, and he didn't want to be next.

So, at the request of the Chinese, he sent an invitation to Kiros. In the invitation, he states that he wishes to secretly surrender to Kyros and exchange an heirloom treasure for his own safety. It was a holy dagger, called "Broken Heart", and it was an indestructible blade, and if it was used by Kyros, who was good at daggers, it would definitely be able to exert great power. But the only condition is that he needs to talk to Quiros and only pledge allegiance to Quiros, not to Reef City.

When Quiros received this invitation, he had no doubts, for no one in the southern city-states had ever dared to attack him. And he himself is the best at infiltrating and escaping. It is almost impossible for Peles to plot against him. As for Pellez's mind, it is also easy to understand, he wants to share some power, and become his own sword like his son Avram, so as to keep his position. Quiros thinks that if he pays a sufficient price, it is fine, and although Avram is his son, it would be better to discipline him by adding a competitor, wouldn't it?

What's more, he was also very impressed by the holy weapon dagger. Kyros's realm is not very high among the sages, and his talent is relatively average, but he only occupies the characteristics of skills and occupations, which can make him threaten other sages, so after he reaches the current realm, it is already very difficult to improve his strength. And a more handy weapon becomes very important.

During the last assassination of Sasso, his usual dagger "Deathlight" suffered some irreparable damage in the explosion Sasso created, which caused his strength to drop slightly. If someone could give him a holy dagger, it would make up for that loss.

So after weighing it, Quiros decided to go to the appointment, and for the sake of prudence, he also brought a great mage and two great swordsmen with him. In his opinion, this is already a complete preparation.

Naturally, the meeting took place in secret, and the venue was set up in the courtyard of a wealthy merchant in Baisha City. This is actually Pelles' own property. Before coming here, Peles deliberately reconnoitred the surroundings and found that there were no ambushes within a radius of at least a kilometer, and then fortunately, as agreed, entered the house through the side door.
