Chapter 13: What Happened After the Assassination
Chapter 13: What Happened After the Assassination
In the southeast of the Kamila continent, another powerful kingdom adjacent to the Broken Blade Kingdom - the Kod Kingdom, this kingdom has attracted many summoning mages on the continent for various reasons over the years.
The Kingdom of Cod and the Kingdom of Broken Blade have been in contact for many years, and the Assassin Guild of the Kingdom of Broken Blade and the Mage Guild of Cod do not know how much knowledge of forbidden magic they secretly exchanged, so after the Ice Rain Empire launched a war against the surrounding countries, the Kingdom of Broken Blade and the Kingdom of Cod naturally became allies.
Unlike the Kingdom of Broken Blade, the kingdom of Kod is not ruled by the leader of the domestic guild, and the actual power of the country is still in the hands of the king, who is also a mage who is good at summoning magic, his name is Jace Milist.
This king is very mysterious, the world does not know his true face, some say that he is an old monster who has lived for more than 500 years, and the strength is comparable to Oh Huo II, and some people say that he is a vampire, and secretly does not know how many people have been mutilated.
There are many rumors, but no one can really reveal his identity, he is elusive, occasionally appears in front of the people and wears a mask, most of the people have only suspicion and fear of this king who has been in power for more than a hundred years.
Although the king's identity is very mysterious, his management ability is unquestionable, and even if the border is still in flames, the country is still bustling and prosperous.
On this day, the capital of Korda, Summoning the Holy War City (full name: summoning the ancient Holy Spirit to come out to fight) is as lively as ever, and there is an endless stream of adventurers coming and going from major shops and guilds, although the residents living in this country are mainly summoning mages, but there are also other types of adventurers, therefore, there are various different types of guilds entrenched in the guild area of Calling Holy War City, the Mage Guild, the Gunsmith Guild, the Assassin Guild and other professional guilds are built very high, and the Adventurer's Guild, the Magic Machine Guild, The buildings of service guilds such as mercenary groups are built very large.
There aren't many adventurers in the Gunsmiths' Guild, not everyone can afford to have a weapon, and there's a lot more to learn about a gun than it takes to learn magic.
Now, in this unpopular hall, the counter uncle is chatting with a teenager in a sweatshirt and a hood.
"What kind of task are you going to take, Kyris? You've been choosing for an hour!" said the uncle.
"It's all a small task, so there's nothing better?" asked the boy named Kyris.
"That's all for the last mission, but I can get some information from the Assassins......" the uncle said and then fell silent, looking at his raised eyebrows and the lewd smile on his face, Kyris was not surprised, he had waited so long for the news to "arrive".
"It's an assassination bounty, pick out the most valuable one and tell me, and I'll give you a tenth of the gold when it's done." Kyris said slowly.
"Hehe, you have a really big appetite, but don't think about the one with the highest bounty, I heard that girl even the high-ranking assassins in the Brotherhood of Broken Blades have returned. The uncle touched his chin and looked like he knew everything.
"Well, the level assessment has been recorded, within the acceptable range, let's talk about the mission details," Kyris kept a cold face on his face, which reminded people of those cold-blooded battle robots.
"Huh? You want money crazy, right? That's a target that ninth-order assassins can't do, what can you do as a seventh-order gunsmith?"
"Please tell me the details of the mission. This voice didn't carry any emotion, but it made the counter uncle feel nervous.
"Uh... Ahem, it's good for young people to dare to try, ahem, I don't know much about it, I only know that the highest target of the bounty is a girl, I heard that it's very good-looking, but the strength is what we can see, the ninth-order assassins have failed, and it is said that her place of residence is in the Night Stalker Country...... "The uncle told Kyris all the information he knew, in fact, in this deserted guild, the only chance for him to get a large amount of money is in front of him.
The city is still noisy, and countless transactions are constantly going on, and it is these adventurers who come and go that make the various guilds on the continent of Camilla so prosperous.
The charm of the City of Summoning Holy War comes from the powerful information circle of adventurers, while the Night Stalker Kingdom directly west of it relies on delicious late-night snacks.
At this moment, all the cities in the country are very quiet, because of the bad atmosphere of the whole country, so there are almost no people on the street of the night owl country during the day.
There is a small town in the south of the Night Owl Country, this town has not been very peaceful lately, a girl who has lived here alone for many years is attacked by assassins, the fire is so bright that no one can see what happened, but the girl still swaggers out to go shopping afterwards, which is enough to prove a lot of things.
The scene of that night's fighting has remained to this day, and the hapless shopkeeper has moved out of this place of right and wrong, and he has not been open in this town for two months.
The sun was shining, and the battle scene still had traces of the heat, and at this moment, an assassin wearing a hood was watching the ground from the side.
"I guess I won't be able to win the last fight with her, do you want to unlock the black devil seal in advance?" No, you can't get the best blessing from unsealing now, so let's wait a while......
The assassin was Elehem, and after watching for a long time, he mentally summed up the various reasons for his last miss, and then left the place silently.
It has been almost a week since he came to the Night Stalker Country, and he has already figured out where the bird eggs live, but he did not choose to attack again, but came here every day to watch for a while, fortunately, it was daytime when he came, otherwise it would definitely cause a riot if he was seen by the surrounding residents, after all, the profession of assassin is not popular.
"Let's go back to the tavern first, although it's daytime and the target is still sleeping, but be careful not to let the other party escape......" Elephine thought to herself, and her figure flickered and she was already standing on the roof of the tavern where she was staying.
The tavern was not close to the Egg's residence, but that didn't stop him from keeping an eye on the Egg, and he had placed a number of Spotlight Gems near the Egg's residence early on, and as long as the gems were still there, he could use the magic mirror to see the scene in the bedroom window from outside the Egg's residence.
"[Visual Conduction], connect me to the Scout Gem, let me see...... Huh, how did she close the curtains today?"
For a cold-blooded assassin, voyeurism is not... Reconnaissance is only part of the job, and he doesn't have any other ideas when he is ruthless.
"If you can't see inside, you can't be running away, do you want to go over and take a look, no, let's consume a true vision gem to see through......"
