Chapter 191: Blue Blade
Two tall and sturdy horses dragged the heavy carriage along the road, and Victor sat in the comfortable carriage, carefully reading the parchment letterhead in his hand.
Earlier today, the Yorkist messenger brought Sylvia's handwritten letter. Sylvia tells Victor that three elven nobles have been assassinated recently, and if he is also assassinated, please hand over the living assassins to the House of York, and she will send someone to investigate the real culprit.
Sylvia was the one who knew Victor's strength best, but she didn't know that Victor had captured the Assassin five days earlier, and that Victor was not going to hand it over to the Yorks, so the letter became a guillotine letter for the Assassins.
The convoy drove to the hill camp, the hooves thundered, the wheels rolled, and the guards of the camp saw the message of the alchemy crow from a distance, and they quickly lowered the heavy drawbridge, pulled the carriage over the bridge deck, and in a short time, the convoy stopped in front of the barracks.
Victor stepped out of the carriage and instructed Renault beside him, "Bring that assassin here." With that, Victor walked straight into the barracks.
Moments later, several alchemy militiamen locked Ace's neck with a lever and dragged him in front of Victor.
The Assassin looked a little emaciated, and his appearance was ordinary, one of those that he could not find if he was thrown into the crowd. But who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary killer was actually a powerful and violent human.
When Ace was fighting with the Spirit Monkey Militia, Victor observed his elemental attributes, his physical attributes were 14 points, his spirit was 10 points, his perception points were 18 points, and his life points were 15 points, which was the most violent human with the highest perception attribute that Victor had ever seen.
The perceptual attribute corresponds to the concentration of the wind element, representing speed, agility and the five senses. Ace's speed is indeed faster than that of the Spirit Monkey Militia, but his agility is not as good as that of the Spirit Monkey Militia who cultivates the secret form, and if it weren't for Victor's request to catch him alive, Ace would have died under the counterattack of the Spirit Monkey Militia.
However, Ace's explosive secret technique made Victor's eyes light up, and the muscles vibrated rapidly to burst out with extremely strong destructive power and speed, and the fine iron chain mail and vine skin inner armor were like paper paste in front of the high-speed vibrating pure gold dagger. Although the spirit monkey militia contracted its muscles in time to avoid being disemboweled, it was still hit hard, and the horrific wound was shocking.
Ace, who broke out with all his strength, completely crushed the Spirit Monkey militia in terms of speed and lethality, but it was not enough to see in front of Victor. Ace's attack was like a crossbow bolt that was fired, swift but unaltered, because his judgment could not keep up with his own speed, and as a result, Victor easily took the dagger. Of course, if Ace was a knight, Victor would not dare to play the trick of grabbing the blade with his bare hands, so he could only pull out the Adamantite Gold and Silver Short Sword to kill him, or distance himself.
Victor captured Ace alive, of course, he wanted to torture the main messenger behind it, but on the other hand, he was also interested in Ace's explosive secret technique. Victor believes that this secret technique can make up for the lack of lethality of the Spirit Monkey Militia. Ace was also happy, and soon confessed to the mastermind behind the assassination of Victor, but how could Victor believe his words, so he ordered someone to smear the fish-man moss on Ace's body.
The moss on the fishman can make the fishman itch to madness, and the same is true when resting on the person's body, Ace can't bear such torture, and tells everything he knows in one go. In addition to intelligence, adamantite daggers, and secret methods, Victor dug up 196 purple gold coins, worth 170,000 gold soles. This killer not only sent heads, intelligence, equipment, secret methods, but also money. Victor really wanted to give him an award for Speedman of the Year.
"Mr. Ace, I have just received a letter that confirms what you have said, and you are not lying. Victor said with a pleasant face.
"Your lord, you're going to give me out, aren't you?" Ace sneered, twisting his neck.
"You seem to be looking forward to it?"
"Haha, of course I'm looking forward to it, I'm expecting you nobles to knock out each other's brains!" Ace said viciously.
Victor smiled and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, once Raymond Peter's assassination of the nobles is exposed, there will be negotiations, there will be punishments, there will be concessions, there will be compromises, but there will be no war, and Raymond Peter doesn't even have to die." ”
"This is the aristocracy?! You can even betray your relatives in front of interests!!It's disgusting to me!Phew!Uh......" Ace spat on the ground with blood, and the barberry militia immediately tightened the noose of the cow tendon around his neck, and the force was so great that Ace rolled his eyes.
"Loosen a little, don't strangle Mr. Ace to death. ”
"Whew...... Whew......" Ace gasped deeply, looked up at Victor and said, "What about you? you won't let go of someone who wants to kill you, will you?"
"Why did Raymond Peter assassinate me?" asked Victor quietly.
"I've answered this question countless times! I don't know!" Ace shouted hoarsely.
Victor nodded, under the torture of the fish-man moss, Ace even confessed to his sister, and should not hide anything anymore, at least not for that employer.
"Raymond wants to kill me, and I'm sure I'm not going to let him go, but I'm going to figure out his purpose. ”
"Hehe, I know that you nobles can trade the lives of your relatives, but you will never let go of those who want to murder you. Ace smiled and said, "Let me go, I can work for you and help you kill Raymond Peter." How?"
Victor shook his head and smiled, and said, "Mr. Ace, if you don't have anything else to explain, I'll send you on your way now!"
"You're going to kill me?" Ace's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Kill me, you won't have a witness, how can you bring down the Peter family? ”
"It takes not evidence to bring down the Peter family, but strength. Victor said lightly: "In the same way, if you want to kill me, I will kill you, which is fair." ”
"Fair?!The nobles trampled the commoners to death, and they only needed to pay a few dozen silver soles, and the commoners who rebelled against the nobles would be hanged, and then you came to talk to me about fairness! If there was fairness, Alice would not be trampled to death by that nobleman's son. Ace roared wildly.
It was the first time that Victor had seen a commoner challenge the aristocracy, he thought for a moment and said, "Obviously, the Glorious Church has established the order of the human world. As early as thousands of years ago, the church regulated the relationship between the clergy, the nobility and the commoners. You can think it's unfair, but that's just your own opinion. It is never fairness that determines order, but violence. ”
"10,000 people have 10,000 fairness, so what should I do? It's not about talking with your fists, so there's a rule that makes rules, and the most violent person has the final say. ”
"Violence brings order, and order grows violence. Once the order is formed, even the people who made it in the first place cannot reverse it, and I inadvertently challenged the order, but I was almost crushed. Who are you to call for here?"
"Then we civilians should be allowed to be trampled on by you so-called nobles?Why should I obey this damn order? I just want to kill you filthy nobles!" Ace looked hideous and wanted to pounce on Victor, but the barberry militia firmly grasped the pole, and he could only struggle in vain.
"You see the arrogant side of the nobles, but you don't see the courage and responsibility of the nobles, when Ant-Man invaded the Centaur Hills, the noble knights and clergy stood at the forefront, while the commoners could only hide behind the walls and shiver. Victor said coldly: "In fact, order is not immutable, it is also pursuing relative fairness, and only in this way can order continue." The ancestor of the Seuss royal family was a commoner, and most of the clergy were also of commoner origin. Commoners aspire to become vassals, or to become clergy, and they obey the order and become the force that maintains it. If you want to overthrow order with violence, then you have to accept the backlash of order, and there is nothing to complain about. ”
"Kill if you want!" what are you talking all this nonsense for?" Ace roared.
Victor sighed, "I'm saying it to myself, I've ordered the slaughter of hundreds of free people, and my guards are stained with the blood of their kind, but my people support me and respect them. I'm also confused about this, and I haven't found the answer until today, those free people are challenging the order, and we are maintaining the order!"
"Revenge for my relatives is admirable, if I were you, I would strive to become a nobleman or a clergyman, and then settle accounts with that noble child, and at the worst I would gather a force to assassinate the enemy, not to anger the innocent. ”
"Ace, you are very talented, and you can comprehend powerful combat skills from carving. If you were a simple assassin, I might have taken you in, but hatred has distorted your mind, and if you want to kill me, then I'll kill you!"
A breeze enveloped Victor's palm, slow and fast, gradually taking on a dark blue hue, and finally a fine burst of electricity appeared.
"The combat skills you have created are very good, and the high-speed vibrations bring terrifying armor-piercing abilities, but my body cannot withstand such vibrations. However, there is no limit to the wind element that I can manifest. The high-speed vibration of the wind element not only multiplies the power, but also has an electric glow effect. This was originally Draven's combat skill, the Azure Moon, which I now call the Blue Blade. ”
"By the way, thank you for the delivery. ”
The dark blue wind blade shone with fine lightning and screeched at Ace's chest, and the tyrannical wind element broke a large hole in the tough leather armor body, and the wind blade continued to fly a few meters away before gradually dissipating into the air.
Ace's body hung from the sleeve pole, and the shocking wound was charred black, but not a drop of blood flowed out.
"Drag it down and feed it to the fishmen. ”
The barberry militia carried Ace's body out of the room, and Victor let out a deep breath as he summoned the breeze to blow away the disgusting smell of barbecue.
Victor's Wind Elemental Affinity has been significantly improved, from an initial 2 meter radius to 2.2 meters. Sylvia thinks that cultivating the Azure Moon has further improved Victor's bloodline ability, but Victor faintly feels that this is because of the Golden Toad's Secret Form, and it was in the process of cultivating the Golden Toad's Secret Form that Victor awakened his blind sense ability, and now the blind sense radius has also become 2.2 meters, and the cultivation effect of the Azure Moon is not obvious.
According to the Sword Saint Draven, the Azure Moon is composed of the wind elemental and can survive and destroy in the void on its side, slicing enemies within 30 meters. Victor can embody the wind element, but it can only be attached to the body or weapon, even if it is thrown out, it is only ten meters away, and the lethality is even more miserable, hitting the wild boar three meters away, the wild boar only snorted twice. Victor discovered that the wind elemental has the property of dissipating quickly, and the farther away from the body, the less powerful it becomes, but when attached to the weapon, it becomes extremely sharp, and the fine iron armor pierces at the first piercing. Victor also has the ability to melee with the knight, but it is still dangerous, and the knight's counterattack is deadly.
The appearance of the Blue Blade changed this awkward situation. Although the fierce warrior with 14 points of physique can't resist the tyrannical blue blade, the shortcomings of the blue blade are also obvious, first of all, the blue blade can't change the attenuation characteristics of the wind element, and the effective range is no more than 10 meters, while the knight's physique is generally above 20 points, coupled with the solid pure gold armor, the blue blade can't do effective killing at all. Secondly, the longer the Blue Blade is charged, the more powerful it becomes, but who will give you the opportunity to amplify your moves in the heat of battle?
Victor intends to use the Blue Blade in melee combat, the high-speed vibrating wind element gives the Adamantite Double Silver Sword armor-piercing and sharp characteristics, the vibrating blade can create terrible wounds, and the electric light has a paralyzing effect, as long as the opponent appears to be stiff for a moment, don't think about touching Victor. That's why Victor named it the Blue Blade.
The idea of the Blue Blade is attributed to Ace, but Ace must die!
After the torture, Victor has learned that Ace killed his contacts in the city of Visake, which means that Raymond Peter or the Duke of Peter behind him has terminated the assassination operation, and Ace's assassination of Victor is completely his personal act. With this, Victor would not have kept him. What's more, Ace already knows so many secrets about Victor.
In addition, Victor suspects that the original wizard was also sent by Raymond Peter, but there is a suspicion that the timing is not right. Judging from what Ace confessed, Raymond gave the assassination order later than the little baron was murdered by the wizard. But whatever the inside story is, Raymond Peter is a clue. If Victor wants to catch this clue, he can't startle the snake.
Sylvia wants to live, she intends to use this to negotiate terms with other nobles and compete for interests, but not to uphold justice for Victor. Victor knows this. If Ace is handed over to Sylvia, then Victor will also be exposed to the sight of the Peter family, and this clue will be broken. Only by killing Ace can Victor hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity.
Worrying are those wizards with strange methods, assuming that the Peter family is really related to wizards, no one can guarantee that wizards will not detect Ace's whereabouts. Victor had to beware of Duke Peter sending a wizard to extinguish the mouth.
Victor sorted out his mood and said to Renault: "Let's go to the church, I want to see Father Miller." ”
