"As promised!"

"This crystal is in your custody!"

Placing the emerald crystal handed over by the old Assassin into the hands of the Dreadscales, Aryas stood up and made her way through the noisy crowd to the windswept docks. Behind her, the Beast Adventure Troupe walked out of the tavern along with the Dire Scales.

"The exchange was a success!"

"It's hard to believe!"

Letting the sea breeze blow through her hair, Aryas didn't look back, but her tone was filled with a faint emotion.

As an artificial human, Arias knows far more about human nature than anyone else - in the process of manufacturing, she has been destroyed again and again, built again and again, born sixteen times, and in addition to the love of her father, she only feels boundless pain and despair.

Therefore, Arias has always looked at the world from the perspective of human nature!

Because of this, she sighed that she had been able to get her hands on the whereabouts and emerald crystals so easily—she had already prepared for the worst, which was why she would bring the Beast Adventure Party with her.

"Perhaps, death scares him more than the greed for the unknown!"

After a moment of contemplation, the scales replied to Ariath's emotion, which caused everyone to fall into deep thought, especially Ron.

Because, as a moonlight rat, according to the rules of the Feron continent, Ron's remaining life can already be calculated in days, unless Ron breaks into the model and gets the opportunity to extend his life - which is exactly what Ron is pursuing.

And just as everyone was pondering, a loud explosion suddenly sounded behind them!

............

"Boom!"

"Damn vampires!"

"Damn Mask of the Night!"

"Give me back the crystal ball!"

In a loud roar and the screams of countless sailors, the Sea Bass Tavern turned into a sea of fire, and the violently burning flames even summoned several fire elementals to dance happily and coldly in the fierce burning.

As the flames burned, six black shadows protruded from the flames, five of which landed on the dock, and the first one to stand out was suspended in the air.

With his slender figure, delicate aristocratic cloak and wide bat-wings, Ron recognized the vampire hovering over the docks as the female vampire who had rescued Saravar that day.

And at this moment, the crystal ball that was slightly churning in the hand of this female vampire was the bargaining chip between Arias and the old assassin.

"Assassin Daddy of the Flame Dagger!"

"Why do you want this crystal ball?"

"Isn't it good to add the Night Mask, the Night Lord can also grant you eternal life!"

"And then, like you, can only hang out at night, constantly sucking human blood?"

"Lady Dark, hand over the crystal ball!"

"Perhaps, the war between the Flame Dagger and the Night Mask could be delayed!"

Apparently the Assassin Daddy knew the vampire above the docks, and he shook his head in disdain, as if he were a human supremacist, and as he shook his head, the four figures behind him quietly disappeared into the shadows, and he was nowhere to be found.

Only in the dark are the Assassins most dangerous!

Apparently the disappearance of the four high-ranking assassins made the vampire known as the Dark Lady nervous, and she immediately flapped her wings and flew higher into the sky, and then the three assassins who had just disappeared suddenly appeared behind the Dark Lady and stabbed the dagger into her wings, while the other assassin retrieved the crystal ball from the Dark Lady's hand.

The Lady of Darkness, on the other hand, fell like a rock back on the docks.

"I have more important things to do today!"

"But in the future, in Ximen City, only one Flame Dagger and Night Mask can exist!"

Taking the crystal ball from the hands of the returning assassins, the assassin's father left the docks without looking back, he needed to rush back to the secret residence of the organization as soon as possible, and build a new body for himself according to the image in the crystal ball - without the support of magical power, the old body could not last long, he needed to speed up!

As the flame dagger departed, a smile suddenly appeared on the towering cheekbones of the female vampire known as the Dark Lady, and with her smile, another figure quietly followed the assassin father and his party.

"The bait has been dropped, Whisperer, it's time for you to act!"

"The ownership of Ximen City may be tonight!"

............

Affected by the violent explosion, Ron's group, who had already walked away, returned to the docks, only to see a bustling crowd, and the burned sea bass tavern, and the corpses all over the ground—the tavern was so densely populated that the smoke and lack of oxygen from the burning smoke and lack of oxygen made it impossible for even the strongest sailors to exert their strength—they were not burned, but suffocated.

The hundreds of corpses lining the docks silenced the beast adventure party who had just thought about life, and Kane the Minotaur silently waved his staff and sang a song—no emotion, only a quaint melody accompanied by a deep voice, as if to make everything quiet.

Listening to such a song, the bustling crowd of onlookers also slowly quieted down, although they could not understand the meaning of the song, but the music is connected, and people feel the meaning contained in it.

And at the end of the song, the soul-washed, the soul-washed, covered the victims of the flame with a blanket and sent them to the west of the West Gate City, where is the area of the city cemetery.

The people who died in the fire were all single sailors - people with families don't spend their days in taverns, exchanging the last copper in their pockets for alcohol.

............

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, Arias and Dreadscale gathered the Beast Adventure Party again, and after receiving the exact news, Arias decided to set off immediately to find the Witch's Mage Tower in the Sea of Ice Floes, hoping to free the summoned Father.

In the face of the Beast Adventure Party, Arias began to introduce the details of the Witch of the Land.

"During a trip to Simon, he obtained information that he had endangered one of the lieutenants of the Night Mask, and of course he was hunted down by the Guild, and that he was destined to die at the hands of the Lady Dahlis assassins.

Despite being Orbakh's vampire retinue and not going against him, she retains some of her ambitions, and she has no regrets about being implicated by Orbakh as an undead, believing it was all arranged by Shar, and believing that her joining the Night Mask is a great opportunity to gain more converts for her ruthless gods, and for this reason she encourages her lieutenants and their chosen people to join the ritual held in her secret temple. When she's not running the union, she's usually in the temple, as she's the highest-ranking priest in the city, and Dahlis hopes to eventually make the Court of Night a follower of Shar's.
