Determined to bring Victor into the York family ahead of time, Sylvia was in a good mood and said to Trisley, "You came to me, is there anything wrong?"

"By the way, Queen Seuss's messenger has just delivered a letter from Her Majesty Eleano. Tracey pulled out a sheepskin scroll from her fine ivory box.

"Cynthia?"

Sylvia unfolded the scroll and read it carefully,

Trisley saw Sylvia frowning and smiling, and after a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "What did Her Majesty say in her letter?"

Sylvia handed the parchment scroll to Trisley and said lazily, "See for yourself." ”

Trisley took the scroll and saw that it was written in the letter.

Dear Cousin Sylvia,

Your letter has been received, and you should have been replied to a letter a long time ago, but something has happened recently, so it has been delayed until now.

Not long ago, my dearest Marquess of Clovis Wimbledon was murdered in a shameful assassination. I was devastated by the loss of my love, and the whole world seemed to lose its color.

When Clovis was ten years old, he awakened the Moon Elf bloodline. From that time on, he was by my side, and I personally taught him court etiquette and learning, and witnessed his growth from a handsome boy into an elegant aristocratic youth, who was proficient in poetry, painting, singing, and sculpture, who was a great artist, who was a human spirit, and who was so delicate and fragile. I can't imagine how mad it must have been for a murderer to kill my Clovis!

After the incident, I captured all of Clovis' guards and attendants and personally participated in the interrogation. On that day, Clovis went for a walk on the shores of Lake Sudar, and the Assassins launched a surprise attack from the shadows, and after assassinating Clovis, he managed to escape, but the stupid guards failed to stop it. There were four midshippers among Clovis's bodyguard, and according to them, the murderer was so fast that they couldn't catch up with him, and they couldn't see the assassin's face, only to determine that it was a man, and most likely a fierce warrior.

I originally thought that one of my lovers had assassinated poor Clovis out of jealousy, but after a detailed investigation, I found that things were not so simple! It is rumored that before Clovis's assassination, two nobles in the Borui Kingdom also suffered misfortune, and they were both nobles of the Moon Elf blood like Clovis. For this reason, I sent messengers to the Parliament of the Kingdom of Borui to verify the matter, but their attitude was intriguing, and instead of pursuing the murderer with great fanfare, they tried to downplay the impact of the incident. In my opinion, this matter is inseparable from the nobles of Borui, and the Inquisition is also following the matter, and the Paladin Constantine suspects that the assassination was related to the wizards of the Red Harbor.

No matter what kind of secret is hidden here, it is certain that this is an assassination operation against all the nobles of the Moon Elf bloodline!

Dear Cousin Sylvia, I heard that your little lover is also an elven nobleman. I'm glad we share the same tastes, but I warn you that it's best to send a knight to protect your little lover, because the apprentice knight can't stop the Assassin. Although the knights are arrogant and don't bother to act as guards, and don't have enough patience, I'm sure you have a way to get them to bow down, don't you?

If you feel embarrassed, please send your little sweetheart to my palace, and I will not make the same mistake again. In fact, I have invited other elven blood nobles to the kingdom of Seuss in order to protect these ancient and noble elven bloods.

By the way, if you catch that Assassin, give him to me, and I'll let him rot in agony to soothe my broken heart.

As for the movements of the Radiant Knights, the information I have obtained is also very limited, only that the Radiant Knights and the Sassan Empire have joined forces to raid a centaur clan, and the specific battle situation is unknown, but His Majesty the Pope seems to support the Radiant Knights' operation. Hopefully, this news will be helpful to you.

Cynthia Eleano

February 7567 in the glorious calendar

Trisley exhaled softly, put the scroll away, and said, "Victor is in danger, we should send men to protect him." ”

Sylvia stroked her forehead and groaned, "Dear Trisley, don't you see? We wanted to know about the Knights of Radiance, but she only mentioned it at the end of the letter, and she didn't say a word about me borrowing money from her!"

"......" Trisley looked embarrassed, but Sylvia said angrily: "Cynthia has been thinking about her lover's diplomacy all day long, and what she means is that I should give Victor to her, otherwise I will not want to get conclusive information, let alone borrow money!

You're pretty much the same, you give the family's female apprentice knight to others as a personal maid at every turn, typical Souss style! Trisley was scolded, but she said, "Aren't you worried about Viscount Randall's safety?"

"Hmph! Victor is not one of those elven nobles who is at the mercy of others, and anyone who dares to despise him will pay the price!" Sylvia thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to warn Victor and let him watch out for the assassins." If you do get assassinated, it's best to keep your mouth alive. Cynthia wanted to use the Assassin to negotiate terms with the Bore, and I was interested in that. ”

—————————————————————

At this time, the sun had just set, and it was not completely dark. Ace lay quietly in the bushes on the side of the road, and the fallen leaves and shadows of the trees on his body were the best camouflage. Ace remained motionless for three hours, just waiting for his prey to appear.

Two months ago, Ace rushed to Randall's domain, but it was not easy to assassinate a lord, especially since he did not have any intelligence to support him now. However, Ace had patience and took a job as a freedman farmer in a village.

Life in Randall's collar is fresh at every turn, where wild boars are kept in captivity and cattle and sheep are free-range. Ace's job is to mow the grass and feed the pigs, clean the pig house, and collect pig manure by the way, earning 3 copper soles a day. The work of raising pigs was a bit dirty, but it wasn't too heavy, and Ace even had time to take care of his own land.

It's the first time Ace has heard of such a thing as a self-reserved land. The villagers told Ace that in Randall, the freedmen could get a share of land, and the people would be given three points of land, and these lands could not grow crops, only vegetables, and the vegetables grown were all owned by individuals, and there was no need to pay for sacrifices. Ace had the heart to grow vegetables, so he handed over his land to a villager to take care of, and the villager was overjoyed and ordered Ace's dinner.

And just like that, Ace settled down in Randall. Breakfast here is free, lunch costs only 1 copper sol, eat wheat porridge, beans and two roasted sweet potatoes, if you add 1 copper sol and you can also have a bowl of broth to drink. But the rules of the village are also very big, no one can defecate in the open, otherwise it will be a whip, and if you don't change it, you will be kicked out. No one wants to be kicked out, and Ace has to admit that life here is much better than in other territories. In Randall's Domain, both Freedmen and Lords refer to Viscount Randall as "our lord" or "our master", although many, like Ace, have never met a lord.

Viscount Randall was undoubtedly a benevolent lord and was loved by the populace. But that didn't shake Ace's determination to assassinate Viscount Randall. In Ace's opinion, the arrogant nature of the nobility will not change, they all deserve to die!

Ace has been feeding the pigs for two months, and everything that should be clarified has been figured out, but he hasn't seen Viscount Randall, but Ace is not in a hurry, he knows that the lord's wind season patrol is about to begin, and Viscount Randall will definitely personally inspect this village, that is the time for him to start!

This afternoon, the viscount arrived in the village with 12 escorts. The characteristics of the elven blood nobility were too obvious, and Ace recognized Viscount Randall at a glance. While the Viscount was inspecting the farmland, Ace quickly ran out of the village and lurked in the bushes by the roadside. This is Ace's preset ambush point!

Ace pressed to the ground, and the sound of horses' hooves reached his ears.

Here it comes!

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Ace clenched the pure gold dagger in his hand, but his heart was not shocked.

As early as a month ago, Ace began to prepare, hiding his weapons in the ambush spot, hiding purple gold coins, food, and clothes in the escape route. The ambush points and escape routes were carefully chosen, and this is the only way to the village of Kawaguchi, with several low hills across the road. When the viscount entered the ambush range, Ace rushed out to kill him, then took advantage of the hilly terrain to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, and then crossed the Blackwater River, took out the things he had hidden in advance, changed his clothes, and fled from Randall's territory. In such an assassination, Ace never missed.

However, the sound of horses' hooves stopped 20 meters away, and Ace's heart tightened, and then he heard the voice of Viscount Randall.

"Go check it out. ”

Ace was buried in the dead leaves, unable to see what was going on outside, until the faint sound of footsteps sounded 5 meters away, and he was finally sure that he was exposed. But Ace didn't move, his hand was still very steady, and when the footsteps got closer, Ace moved.

Dead leaves wrapped in branches flew all over the sky, and while the guard's vision was obscured, Ace stabbed his opponent in the chest and abdomen with a sharp dagger, his movements as fast as lightning.

Ace had no intention of running away at all, he inquired very clearly, there were no knights under Viscount Randall, and Lord Nelson, the most powerful warrior in the Viscountdom, was just a fierce warrior like him. And even in the face of the knight, Ace has the confidence to escape, because he is very fast!

Although I don't know why it was exposed, it doesn't matter. Killing two guards, but it takes one more breath, and one more breath, is enough to kill Viscount Randall twenty meters away. After three breaths, they had already fled, and I am afraid that the guards had not yet reacted.

But the two guards shattered Ace's illusions, and two sharp rays struck Ace's vital point, resolute, fierce, no moves, no fights, no dodges, and the same lightning speed! At the same time that Ace pierced a person, he would also be pierced! Ace was unwilling to die with the guards, so he could only dodge.

Ace's body turned, dodging the guard's stabbing blow, but before he could stand up straight, the sharp sword light slashed down at his neck again. Ace shrank backwards, avoiding the slash, his feet were legging, but the sword light was like a maggot attached to the bone, coiling tightly around his side, leaving him with no way to retreat. In desperation, Ace could only use the dagger to block the opponent's attack, and also lost the opportunity to escape.

Ace secretly complained in his heart, although the speed of these two guards was fast, they were still comparable to him. One-on-one, Ace is confident that he will kill any of them, but these two cooperate seamlessly, and they are not afraid of death, it is impossible to kill them unscathed, but as long as they are injured, then don't try to escape. Now, the only way is to lure them into the woods, and then unleash their secret tricks to escape from here.

"Two more people, I'm going to live!"

Two more guards joined the battle, and Ace was desperate to find that the new guards were just as powerful, so what about the rest of the guards?

Ace knew that he would not be spared today, and he decided to die with Viscount Randall!

The Viscount wanted to live, which gave Ace a chance, and the four guards no longer used the Iron Shortsword, but instead used their scabbards to grapple with him. Ace roared wildly, the muscles of his whole body vibrated at high speed, and his speed increased sharply, and he used his body to withstand three fierce volleys, and the adamantite dagger buzzed, cutting through the fine iron chain mail and hard leather inner armor of one of the guards, and a cloud of blood exploded on his body. Taking advantage of this gap, Ace broke through the encirclement and swooped straight at Viscount Randall, who was ten meters away.

Beyond the distance of ten meters, Ace couldn't even take a breath, only to see a gray shadow flash, and he had already pounced in front of the viscount. Ace didn't think about it, and the dagger turned into a hazy phantom, stabbing the Viscount's heart.

Ace's explosive secret technique is incredibly powerful, as evidenced by the fact that he had just easily broken through the guard's fine iron chain mail. And Viscount Randall is wearing a noble hunting costume and is not wearing armor, Ace can foresee that the adamantite dagger will cut a terrifying wound in the viscount's chest, and his heart will also be shattered!

The buzzing dagger stabbed at the place of Viscount Randall's chest, but it was empty, and the Viscount was like a phantom that disappeared at the same time as it was stabbed.

"You're too slow!"

The Viscount's voice sounded in his ears, Ace stabbed sharply with his backhand, and blood splashed everywhere, but when he turned around, he found the Viscount holding a pure gold dagger, looking at him with a smile. Ace looked down and saw three severed fingers scattered on the ground, blood dripping from his own hand, and the dagger was gone.

"You hide in the bushes and your heart beats so loudly, when I am deaf?"

"In my eyes, you're as slow as a snail!"

"Grab it! Send it to the hill camp. ”

The root behind the ear received a heavy blow, and Ace was plunged into darkness.
