Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 40 The Killer and the Trap
Mirière is a killer, he's always done it, but since he got the dagger ten years ago, he rarely kills, but he never worries about his livelihood, on the contrary, he lives well. Because his boss is the emperor.
Mirière was very famous in the dark world, and even almost surpassed the former king of killers, but he retreated in a hurry when he was at his strongest, and disappeared from the dark world, some say he was killed, others say he gained new powers, and some say that he gained unparalleled wealth. But only Mirière himself knew that what he had received was priceless.
It was a dagger called the Black Streamer. He didn't know who the dagger had been, but he killed an unlucky guy and got it, and the dagger seemed to have a soul of its own, sometimes even controlling Mirière's body to kill people. This frightened him, but later, he realized that the more he used the dagger, the faster and more powerful he became, and an endless sense of power came out of his body.
He knew that he had got a good treasure, so he decided to do the biggest assassination and then put it away, and began to concentrate on studying his treasure.
The target he chose was Hugo's emperor, Jean Valjean.
Valjean was a young man, as full of passion and Hugo pride as the average emperor, and claimed that his magical prowess had reached the point where even an assassin could not hurt him with a knife raised in his back.
The fact that there were once three assassins who were chopped into meat sauce is the best proof of this.
Mirière scoffed at the last time, those three wastes could not be compared to himself.
After weeks of waiting, the young Emperor was finally exposed to his fangs, and he managed to take out two of the royal guards and came to the Emperor's side, where he gripped his dagger and delivered the blade to the Emperor's eyes with precision. And in those eyes, Mirière saw a hint of banter.
Mirière was captured alive, he didn't even know what was happening, his body was unconscious, and the dagger was stuck in his chest instead.
He was thrown into the wilderness, but instead of dying, he survived. At the same time, the dagger gave him new powers, and he decided to go for revenge.
When the Emperor saw him, his face was visibly surprised, he didn't believe the Assassin would still be alive, but it was no different. Mirière was captured alive again, and the dagger was once again stabbed into his chest. This time, the emperor still did not kill him, he lived. So he stayed with the emperor.
The undead assassin, Mirière. This was the Emperor's trump card, and the Emperor did everything possible to meet his requirements in order to train him, and the Emperor built a small temple in the imperial city in order to meet the requirements of his situation, and he wore a black robe every day to study the knowledge contained in the dagger. Or produce some unnecessary troubles for the emperor when the emperor needs it, and his life is very easy, without worrying about the life of being hunted down and killed by others from the premise of the premise.
Over time, the young emperor became the old emperor, and the once killer became a benevolent old priest. But what has changed the most is the technique of killing.
Mirière even thought that he was very likely to become a sanctuary-level killer, he stepped into the legendary realm early, and even went further, as long as anyone wanted to kill, there was no possibility of dodging.
And the emperor thinks very highly of him, and the emperor calls him the killer of the quasi-holy realm, or simply the killer of the holy realm, and he is very popular with this name.
Maybe his strength is too strong, maybe his enemies are too weak, in short, this quasi-sanctuary hasn't encountered a suitable enemy for a long time, and he has a lot of tricks and is desperate to find someone to experiment with.
And today, the emperor gave him a figure.
Kane.
"You've probably heard of this man. ”
Valjean said to the black-robed old man opposite, who looked so kind with a kind smile on his face that no one would have thought of his identity as a killer.
"Every Hugo knows this man. ”
Mirière said with a smile.
"I want you to kill him, at all costs. ”
And there can be no doubt, said the emperor.
"Your will, my orders, my majesty, it just so happens that my strength has reached a bottleneck, I always feel inexplicable irritability, my understanding of strength can not be more advanced, maybe this is the test before I reach the Holy Realm?"
Mirière seemed to be talking to the emperor, as if he were talking to himself, he was no different from an ordinary old man. But the Emperor knew that no one could escape his dagger now, not even himself.

Wang Wei felt an inexplicable uneasiness for no reason, but he quickly threw this uneasiness aside, because the thing in front of him was so handsome.
"Are you sure this thing can really be done in a month? ”
Wang Wei looked at the big guys in front of him and felt that his eyes were twitching, this thing is simply a big killer!
"There were no problems with the prototype, you see, the energy channels, the connection lines, the shock resistance, and our cockpit, everything was perfect. ”
Luo Weier said to Wang Wei very proudly, behind her, a Phantom girl is driving a metal puppet with female lines, doing flexible movements comparable to ordinary humans, the entire metal puppet adopts a two-layer design, the internal driving space and the external armor are all designed with solid armor at the same time, to achieve double protection, and this armor is still fully enclosed, the girls of the Phantom Clan do not need air, water, food, their metabolism is pure energy level.
"It doesn't matter, you know what I want to see. ”
Wang Wei felt his heart beat faster.
"Hehe, promise you've never seen it before!"
Luo Weier motioned for the driver to load the parts, and explained to Wang Wei.
"The new Crystal Burning Cannon. ”
Luo Weier pointed to the thing that was being loaded on his shoulder and said to Wang Wei.
"We got inspiration from the energy operation system of the halo, and with the help of Yuri, we redesigned and integrated the activation mode of the energy circle, and also redesigned the way of energy aggregation, and finally we got the current thing!
Rowelle said excitedly.
"The waste crystals we buy from all over the world are liquefied, purified, and reshaped before Emily and her sisters mold them into perfect cylinders. Each cylinder is fifteen centimeters in diameter and ten centimeters in height. Double-sided carved circles, all of which are used to focus and adjust energy attributes. Evanses' elemental technology is so advanced that we put together a series of focus circles in the same way that Yuri and the WordPad provide, and it turned out to be like this!"
Rovier said, letting the Shadow Girl, who had loaded the newly crystal-burning cannon, shoot at a rock in the distance of the weapons testing ground.
After a short three-second charge, a white glow erupted from the cannon's muzzle, blasting the boulder into powder with an inexplicable scream, and the ground where the boulder was placed was blasted open by the elemental disturbance. After firing the cannon, the muzzle of the cannon glowed red, and slowly faded, and after ten seconds, the energy was refilled, blasting the second boulder into powder.
"We optimized the energy interface and wrapped the tenon with a layer of star iron to ensure that the energy would not leak out, and finally created this purely mobile crystal cannon with considerable power. ”
Rovel was very proud.
"It's impressive, much stronger than a normal crystal-burning cannon. ”
Wang Wei was sincerely admired.
"The advantage of this cannon is that it can be reused, as long as there is an energy supply system, then the standard fire volume of this cannon body is generally about 3,000 rounds, after which the crystal array inside may be deviated and needs to be replaced. However, if it is an ordinary crystal-burning cannon, the cost of 3,000 shells is enough to make ten of these cannons. ”
Rowelle continued.
"However, the disadvantage of this cannon is also very obvious, that is, the energy consumption is very high, and the puppet we are designing now cannot continue to maintain the work of the magic circle of the cannon body after firing the cannon six times in a row, and needs to rest to allow the internal liquid crystal element furnace to recover energy. However, even if we can't fire cannons, the puppets themselves can still move, and we still maintain a very considerable amount of power. However, due to the use of elemental joints, our golems are a bit less powerful than their old-fashioned mechanism golems, but we can have the flexibility to make up for it. ”
"Each golem has a portion of Shadow Metal inside, allowing our minds to merge into it. Commanding this puppet is as flexible as commanding our bodies!"
Perfect design!
Even the fastidious Wang Wei was full of praise for this newly produced puppet, compared to these puppets, those Verne's idiot puppets were like children's building blocks!
