Chapter 57: Assassination

In the face of such a chaotic occasion, everyone in the paddling group naturally did not run to make any fun.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately moved into the depths of the jungle, not wanting to be drawn into some inexplicable struggle. All of this seems to be going smoothly.

As a result, after the group of paddling group walked a short distance into the jungle, a person suddenly appeared in front of them, and it was the summer who claimed to be Morin's good friend.

There are no other students around him at the moment, so it can be assumed that he is acting alone this time.

As soon as Merlin saw Summer, the expression on his face became unpleasant, and he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Summer didn't seem to notice Morin's disgust, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, our class has also entered the finals! So I'm here, isn't it a reasonable thing? Don't keep a straight face, but also enjoy the rare school time......!" Saying that, this guy actually started to introduce himself, looking at his personality, he is really a very cheerful kind of guy, at least not annoying.

Since no one present had spoken to Summer except for Xiu, everyone didn't quite understand what was going on right now. This guy called Summer should be familiar with Maureen. But whether they were friends or not, from the expression on Morin's face, could not tell very much. Of course, it may also be that they have been making trouble during this time, and it is not clear what their real relationship is for the time being.

But for some reason, Roland always felt that this guy called Summer, his temperament made him feel very uncomfortable, and he was the kind of object that he didn't want to get close to. It's not the first time this kind of feeling has happened, and Roland can't say why. Or maybe it's just his delusion!

"Okay, okay, I'm coming to you this time for business. Who told you to always avoid me! There was a letter from Kinokuni, saying that your grandfather's health has not been good recently, and your uncle, let you be mentally prepared. Summer said, handing over an open letter.

Morin looked at the letter with a slightly complicated expression on his face, but he finally took the letter and read it.

After reading the letter, Morin sighed and said to Summer, "I see. ”

"Well, then I'll go first! If there's any new news from Kinokuni, I'll let you know again. Summer waved to the others as she spoke, then turned to leave.

"Mo Lin, what the hell ...... that guy" Xiu saw that Mo Lin's face was not very good, and couldn't help but ask with some worry.

"Nothing. My grandfather was a nobleman in the country of wood, and my family is also very large. But to be honest, I don't have a good relationship with my family, which is why I came to Double Moon City alone. In the family, only my uncle was good to me, so sometimes I would correspond with my uncle. And this summer, it was the messenger between me and my uncle, and my uncle also asked him to take care of me. Although I don't think it's necessary...... That's my relationship with him. Maureen explained.

"In that case, why did you tell me yesterday to stay away from him, he is very dangerous?" Xiu asked puzzled.

Morin was slightly stunned, and then said, "That's because ...... Although this guy looks serious, he actually has a bad personality and likes to play tricks on people. I've been tormented by him and have a nervous breakdown, and I don't want him to bother you. ”

So that's the case, Xiu suddenly realized. From this point of view, Morin's previous performance is not only understandable, but also very reasonable.

At this time, an unexpected situation suddenly appeared in the jungle.

After a loud bang, a thick fog suddenly filled near the location of the paddling group, making everyone's eyes confused and unable to see their fingers.

What's going on? Were they ambushed?

Isn't the purpose of this team competition to capture the flag and win? There is no point in ambushing the paddling group at such a time!

Roland immediately felt that this scene was strange, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. And the other people in the paddling group also became unsettled in an instant, especially An An, who became a little excited. Lin, who was closest to An An, had no choice but to firmly grasp him and comfort him, telling him not to be afraid.

Now my vision is blurry, and I can't see anything clearly. And at this moment, the surrounding environment is also unusually quiet, as if it is a sign that something will happen.

Who the hell is it? What are they trying to do? Who are they targeting?

Roland kept thinking about these questions in his head, holding his sword in one hand and grasping Rand in the other, telling him not to leave his surroundings. After all, the most important job of his courtier is to protect the prince's safety.

Suddenly, Roland felt a slight change in the flow of the fog nearby, and understood that the other party was about to make a move. So, he suddenly raised his hand and slashed in front of Rand with his sword, and sure enough, he slashed into two hard small objects, accompanied by the sound of metal contact, it was a hidden weapon!

Could it be that the other party's target is the prince?

Roland asked, "Are you all okay?"

"It's fine!"

"I'm okay!"

"We're fine...... too"

Xiu, April, Lin and others who were present replied one after another.

This made Roland immediately determined: It seems that the other party's target this time is really Rand! And as far as this offensive is concerned, there should not be many people on the other side, maybe only one person, right?

Only, who the hell wants to make a move on Rand? Is he a student at the War College?

Roland said calmly: "Morin, cast a spell to blow away the dense fog here." ”

Maureen did so. As a result, he was halfway through this method when he was interrupted by a sneak attack by an assassin who was ambushed in the smoke.

It seems that the other party does not want to reveal his true colors.

However, although Merlin was not able to activate the spell this time, the light emitted when casting the spell had already allowed Roland to determine the location of the person who came. He lunged towards the assassin's location, not forgetting to let Merlin and the others leave the misty area quickly.

Merlin quickly realized what was happening, and quickly pinpointed the position of the others, and then beckoned them to move to the side with a clear view.

And Roland quickly got entangled with the other party, and his attitude became serious, which is probably a rare time when he didn't respond passively, right?

Fearing that the light that would accompany the spell would reveal his identity, the Assassin had never cast a spell in the first place, or perhaps he was not a mage. And Roland, he didn't like to cast spells in the first place, so he didn't use spells.

As a result, the two sides purely relied on close combat, and there were several back-and-forth encounters. Suddenly, Rand stabbed the assassin in the arm with a stabbing sword!

The assassin remained silent, taking advantage of the thick fog and fled.

The fog slowly cleared, and Roland looked at the red blood stains on his sword head, thoughtful.

Roland never imagined that the Assassin would be able to escape from his men, and it seemed that the other party was quite skilled. Moreover, after being stabbed by Roland, the assassin was stunned, could it be that he was actually someone Roland was familiar with, so he was worried about being recognized?

And, who exactly wants Rand to die?

As we all know, although the atmosphere in Two Moon City is now delicate because of the competition for the throne. But Rand has no power and has always been indisputable, so he cannot pose a threat to the other princes at all. So what will be the purpose of the person who attacked him this time?
