Fear made his neck stiffen like a rusted doorway, and it forced him to see the face on his shoulder.

It was white, like the glowing bones in a coffin. There was no expression, and there was a black mist in the eye sockets that could not be dispersed—it was a mask.

As soon as Barney had the idea, the mask retracted like a cobra, and four or five feathered arrows passed under his neck, armpits, and between his legs, the wind stinging his skin.

He knew there were rangers in the room, but he didn't know how many there were, and he couldn't see any of them when he opened his eyes, on the beams or under the tables? Barney suddenly found himself drifting through his mind with inconsequential thoughts, until he was dragged and stumbled.

"Get down!" said Candace to the apprentice in a daze.

Barney regained his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, his knees were as soft as noodles, and he lay down with his head in his hands.

The footsteps were fake, strange and despicable tricks, he should have thought a long time ago. Of course, the improvised residence of the Assassin did not know which room the monk was in, and the best thing to do was to find a fool to lead the way, and he, the big fool, brought the Assassin directly to Candace!

Candace crouched aside, cane in hand, watchful in vigilance. The lights flickered in the room, and everywhere there was the whirring sound of clothes rolling up and leaping, but there was no fighting side to be seen, and there was no sound of metal colliding. It's as if there's a silent dance troupe dancing to indulge in.

"The enemy is very fast, but the figure is very strange, it appears and disappears at once, the ranger can't keep an eye on him, and he can't get close to us. Candace explained the situation in Tiya.

Listening to the first druid's calm tone, Barney quickly calmed down. He responded in Tiya: "Shadow!"

"What?"

A ranger snorted, appeared to be wounded, and slipped off the roof.

Barney had lived in the Crimson Federation for half his life, and the Tiya language, inherited from his half-elf mother, was rudimentary and non-standard. He anxiously pondered the words, "He can move between shadows." These desks, chairs, hanging ornaments ......"

Before they could finish speaking, the rangers had already reacted tacitly, and the two rangers jumped to the ground, lifted the table and overturned the cabinet, and emptied the center of the room. The Assassins were finally cornered. With a big move, dozens of swarthy darts swirled and shot at Candace.

The room was full of sparks bursting and clanging, as if someone had poured a sword from the blacksmith's shop into it. Barney saw the incredible skill of Tia's royal guards, and the two rangers blocked with their short swords like lightning, while a series of quick arrows in the shadows deflected darts and fell to the ground with a crackle. Nothing is missing.

The room was quiet, and the Assassins were forced behind a hollowed-out screen, five short bows aimed but not fired, the shadow of the screen shooting into the corner of the wall, and they could not see it.

The half-elf scrambled to his feet, picked up the forked candlestick and walked around the side of the screen, casting his shadow on the wall, revealing the Assassin's eerie ghost. The rangers gave him a look of appreciation.

Candace said, "Come out, abandon your weapons and surrender." This is your only chance to live. ”

The next picture made the elves present unforgettable, and the shadows on the wall floated little by little, as if struggling out of the mire, and the plane became three-dimensional. The masked face peeks out of the shadows. It was still dark from the neck down.

...... White is the face of the deceased.

The elves' expressions changed slightly, and the bowstrings tightened.

Candace glanced at Barney, who realized that a living assassin was more meaningful than dead, and that this was the first enemy that Tia had come into contact with that was beyond earthly power.

The half-elf said, "Brother Candace is going south on behalf of the queen's will. Her promise was the Order's promise, abandoning her arms and surrendering, and Tiya's credibility was true. ”

The response was a sneer.

Barney was annoyed and said, "Do you think you can escape? No matter what evil forces you rely on to turn into shadows, you can only move when the shadows meet. If we don't move, where else can you go?" the children of the forest saw nothing in their eyes. He lifted the candlestick and took a step closer.

The Assassin spoke for the first time, his voice hoarse, "We store zài on the back of every leaf, but you can't see it, people of the light. ”

With that, the mask retracted, stretched out his arm and raised it, and at the same time a puff of powder spilled out, four arrows shot through his hand.

Barney smelled the sulfur, but before he could react, the candle flame ignited the particles in the air, and in an instant, hundreds of tiny sparks burned, casting strange shadows from different angles.

...... The lamp is a knife without light.

Unable to determine the location of the Assassins, each Ranger struggled to move closer to Candace. But the assassin was quicker, biting the dagger and making awkward gestures with one arm, and a supernatural darkness poured out of him, obscuring the moonlight, obscuring the sparks, and also obscuring Barney's vision, and Candace drowned in darkness.

...... The emerald shatters, the oak leaves fall, and you will die on the first night.

"Don't!" the half-elf hissed as she screamed, and the sound echoed through the manor.

As if in response to the will of nature, a few thuds of the air exploding, the darkness was dispelled at a faster rate, the first druid raised the wooden staff, the elements converged and awakened under her channeling, the scorching soul put on a burning cloak, and the sparks that had just helped the assassin became his enemy again, and five and a half human-tall small fire elementals were born.

"[Activate Flame]......" Barney was stunned.

The bright, blazing light caused the Assassin to retreat and duck into the screen again, seeing that the druid had not given him a chance, the fire elemental spread out and approached, rolling all the combustibles into his body and burning, and the fire became more and more intense. The screen was surrounded by a large area of light sources, and the shadows gradually faded, and the assassin bounced out.

As the druids prayed, the wood of the screen deformed one by one, binding the Assassins.

The battle is over, the chaos continues, and there is a commotion beneath the towers. One Ranger captive picks off the captive's tendons to prevent him from escaping, while others extinguish the flames. Candace dismissed the fire elemental life and treated the wounded while saying to the frightened Barney, "Go downstairs and don't let those humans mess with it." ”

The half-elf was curious about the face under the mask, but the command was more important, rubbing his trembling knees, and bumped into Narah as he went out.

"Are you alright?" the two said in unison, and then each was embarrassed.

The girl snorted to cover up and was about to go in, but was pulled back.

"I'm going to visit my senior sister. ”

"The monk has given us a task. Barney didn't want her to face the torture scene.

As soon as the soldiers wandering downstairs saw someone coming out, they knew that the above had been solved, and suddenly burst into courage, fearlessly rushing in to "arrest the assassin". The two stopped the guards and argued until Banyard came.

Narah opened his mouth to denounce the cowardice and incompetence of the guards, and to drench the blood of the dog scolded by Banyard. For the first time, Barney felt that he was scolding well, and the guards' bullying of the soft and afraid of the hard Cheng dù made him despised.

He pulled the dwarf who was about to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage, "Lord Banyard, at this point, you must not prevaricate with a bandit attack. You have to tell me what the relationship between the Hoshimi Tower and the bay is, or I won't be able to explain it to you. ”

"What does this have to do with me! I didn't find the assassin, don't interrogate me. The cunning and composure of the old dwarf were gone, and he grinned furiously, and his halberd was as open as a mad lion.

Barney's face twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to apologize, but swallowed hard. I kept saying in my heart: I am a Tiya.

"Look, how do we tell the Queen: Banyard of Black Gold Bay has invited the druids by the Hoshimi Tower, and the Hoshimi Tower knows when the Assassins are coming. The Hoshimi Tower has a relationship with the Assassins, and you have a relationship with the Hoshimi Tower, so in the end, you can only bear the responsibility. ”

The dwarf sneered, "Little mongrel...... You weren't born when the big merchant Banyard was bargaining with people, and you put the elders of the Star Tower in the enemy's position, and you speculated to scare me?"

Barney was furious, "Please explain this to Her Majesty the Queen. ”

"Then do whatever you want, tell your elven master, we will stay here for a few days, and we will talk about it when she is in a good mood. Please point fingers, not at me. The dwarf turned and walked away, leaving behind a half-elf with a blue and white face.

That night, Barney reported apologetically with trepidation: "...... I'm too self-conscious. There was a strange grunt from the next door, and he didn't know what the Ranger was doing with the captives, which made him uneasy.

Candace shook his head, "Garanord welcomes friends, but it doesn't mean that people will take advantage of them. The land is too strange and full of unknown hostilities. Just came to get involved in the whirlpool, who sent someone to assassinate, who really helped, who was hypocritical, didn't know anything, we were too passive, you did the right thing. ”

"Thank you for your tolerance, Banyad actually has no intention of turning his face, but the pressure exerted is not enough, as long as the situation is worse than his arrogance, he will post it and compromise with us. ”

"Tell me what you think. ”

"When the news is released, it is said that you are seriously injured and dying, and he can't bear the anger of both Garlanod and the Gulf. ”

Candace didn't speak for a long time, and smiled mockingly.

"Don't you agree?"

"No, just do it, use your channels to spread it. I just felt ironic and escaped the assassination, but I was still 'dead,' Hoshimi Tower's prophecy...... Hehe. The druid's gaze pierced through the night, looking at the stars. (To be continued......)

PS: A few days ago, the god of Zhiqiu said at the end of the chapter that a local tyrant reader gave him an apple, and he suddenly felt like a kidney, and the code word was full of power. I don't expect a kidney, so I might as well give it a real apple.
