At the same time, a few kilometers outside of Suno, in the town of Lurens, many townspeople gathered around the town's church, and their eyes looked up at the top of the extremely high church, and on the roof of the difficult to stand stood two men, one of whom was Shi Ang in a red robe, and the other had a familiar back, but his appearance was hidden under a long cloak......

"Sure enough, you are causing trouble, I have warned you many times, the destiny plan must be carried out, and this is also good for your order, isn't it!?"

"Destiny No. 7, if I hadn't gone to disrupt the situation, I'm afraid that the fourteen of you would have died at the hands of the council room guards, didn't you know that this meeting was full of masters before you acted!"

"So, I have to thank you on behalf of my friends!?Thirteen's magic bullet destroyed the council hall, who expected that they had already been scared away by you, and now the only way to assassinate the target is to storm the castle of the lordship...... Trust me! If any of us come back alive, we'll settle accounts with you!!"

"I don't know about you, your number one can be said to be the ultimate weapon, but he's gone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNow only you, Ten, and Thirteen can still see the strength, right?I wish you a speedy annihilation, and then I can also kill the real target of my trip......"

After a brief conversation and threats, Seven leaps and disappears to the top of the church, and Shion sneers and leaves the striking place......

Back in the chaotic city of Suno, the arena was destroyed by fire during the early morning attack, but fortunately the fire was extinguished by the people who rushed to hear the noise, and it did not spread to other neighborhoods. By midday, the Town Guard had completely cordoned off the vicinity of the arena and had only permission to enter the interior to investigate, so the neighboring streets were filled with crowds of onlookers, all of whom were very interested in the attack.

After bypassing the crowd and entering the lockdown zone, Trevor asked the captain of the guard some information about the terrain and went straight to the clock tower near the arena, and when he reached the top floor, he found that someone had arrived one step ahead of him......

"Atros, Rolf, what did you find?" Trevo asked the two who arrived first

"Trevor, it seems that this was done by the killers who once coveted Matthews' life, and Son was nothing more than a spoiler......" Rolf explained the results of the current investigation to Trevor, because of some gunpowder embers on the ground, indicating that someone had fired a special bullet at the council chamber about two hundred yards away after the attack.

"Isn't that good...... I think I can only ask the Pope about this, are Oguma and Faye back?"

Atros shook his head, and Trevor cursed them a few times before calling them on their way home, as if all this was caused by Matthews, and the two executors decided to ask the Pope for all the secrets......

"Your Excellency, the old minister is also retiring......"

"Sir Daugard, you are frightened today, and I wish you a safe journey!"

In the castle of Suno, many councilors have already embarked on their way home under the escort of their guards, and the one who is leaving at this moment is the Duke of Daugard of the Rhodok Kingdom, after saying goodbye to him, Matthews wiped his shawl, looked around the empty living room and shook his head helplessly, as if he knew all the reasons for all this, but there was something unspeakable......

Just then, Trevor and Rolf pushed open the door and entered the living room, followed by Atros, who approached Matthews and asked him what he thought of the attack, but Matthews had already decided to confess everything, and he ordered Trevor to close the door and sit down at the guest table with the three of them.

"Listen to me, General Atros, Rolf, and Trevor, too! Today's assassination is just the beginning...... Their real goal is to assassinate me, and we put aside Sion's purpose for a moment, what do you know about the members of Project Destiny?"

Trevor thought for a moment and replied: "Destiny No. 7 and No. 13, they were originally the best alchemy researchers of the Holy Sect, Odysseus and Asfa, and we have not met the other members, so we don't know, it is said that they have gathered fifteen warriors with outstanding abilities on the continent, is it true?"

"That's right, most of them are great warriors with great reputations, and the core of them are the talents of the Holy Cult, and the origin of this organization needs to be traced back to Victor Delacro's unfinished mission......"

"Victor, didn't you ask him to lead a number of alchemists to study Drua's hieroglyphs, so that he would make a breakthrough and turn against the Dark Army?" Rolf, who knew the antecedents, was surprised.

Matthews nodded, and began to talk about what had happened since then: "At the beginning of August of this year, Delacro's research group had figured out the meaning of the Drua and sent me a report privately. But I was still not satisfied with the status quo and asked him to continue to delve into these dark products and try to apply this mysterious power to our personnel...... Unexpectedly, Delacro told me that he was incompetent, so he ended his research, but a spy embedded in the Holy Cult stole the research records and secretly established a dark force roughly the same as I thought - the Knights of the Black Seal, with a total of fifteen members, except for a few voluntarily, most of them were branded with black seals when they had no other choice, and thus were manipulated by this mastermind to become cursed knights......"

Since the participants in the Destiny Project are all members of the Knights, it seems that these people are trapped in black magic and can't extricate themselves...... This is contrary to your original intention, Your Majesty the Pope~" Hearing this, Atros burst out laughing, as if mocking Matthews' original idea.

"No, the unfinished research of Delacro is the purification of the God's bequest, and the power is manipulated by the host, not by it. There is no doubt that this person behind the scenes is proficient in magic, and the Knight of the Black Seal is just some puppet of this person, and Fate's plan is an assassination operation against me, but I don't know the purpose behind all this!" Matthews retorted, and told him all about his original idea.

"Well, what exactly does this strange black mark do, and what difference does it make with purification or not?"

"The Holy Cult has been at odds with the Drua Order for many years, and we have obtained the Drua Order from some magical battles...... One of the great seals that the entire Drua Church almost forgot about it, the three stigmata symbolizing the power of the Medius, became a bequest from the gods after the Holy War (the Druas regarded them as sacred, the heritage of the god of darkness), and they were carved into the stone wall in perfect form, and they did not dissipate with the passage of time, and my ancestors transported the stone wall back to Bajicht and stored it at the top of the Holy Tower......"

"Let me talk about it next!" Matthews looked reluctant, and Rolf picked up the conversation.

"My father once saw the curse they bring, the call of darkness made the Barth Tower where we store the holy weapons entrenched by the undead, since then when we executors need to get their own weapons, we must venture into the Holy Tower, the battle with the undead has become a trial, and finally get the holy weapon and leave the Holy Tower, until Delacro was ordered to study the Holy Stigmata, our four executors emptied the monsters in the tower and transported the stone tablets with the Holy Stigmata from the top of the tower to the Alchemy Science and Technology Research Institute for storage. Some of the similar sigils that Delacro has developed can give the lodger (the runes printed on the body) great mental power, but they are very unstable, and sometimes they fall into darkness and cannot extricate themselves, and the final purification research is not completed, you know......"

Atros made a note of these and continued to ask, "Increased psychic power? This can only be useful for spellcasters who use willpower as a weapon, right? What about the current Black Seal Knight?"

Matthews pondered some of what he had seen in the past and said, "Odysseus and Asfa weren't originally such strong warriors, but now they have been able to defeat Zenda Kebrek, and it is clear that that kind of thing gives them great strength. ”

"Is there a way to get them to change their ways?"

"No, the research records were stolen, and the three major stigmatas were taken away together, and the host of the stigmata can manipulate all the Black Mark Knights, and we have no way to remove the Black Mark ...... on them."

Matthews thought he was irreparable, but Atros kept smiling and asked a question that had nothing to do with it......

"When do you plan to return to the Holy Church, it seems to be much safer there than here~"

Trevo explained the current security situation, the current intelligence showed that the Black Seal Knights were all wandering around Suno, and that they would be vulnerable to sniping if they left, and that the two executors could not even survive the fourteen Black Seal Knights, so Matthews temporarily abandoned his intention to return to Bajicht and decided to find out everything here.

After receiving the reply, Atros smiled: "Very good, I'm here to assist you in your investigation, but what I'm really worried about is not the Black Mark Knight, but Shion Freeman, thinking about his actions seems even more suspicious~"

"Then, Rolf and I will go to rest, and we will be ready to deal with the attacks of the Black Seal Knights!"

The two executors pushed the door and left, and Matthews looked out the window at the sergeants lined up outside the window, although this was already the safest place in Suno, he still felt that he was in danger of the strength of the Black Seal Knights, and could only sit back and wait for time to pass...... In the evening, as the storm of assassinations during the day had not yet dissipated and the entire city of Suno was still under martial law, Craggs used a clever political meeting to appease the curious people about the assassination, and then quelled the unrest of the residents, and the elite of the city were able to withdraw from the trivial tasks of maintaining law and order, and laid a net at the major crossings in the center of the city, just waiting for these mysterious assassins to appear......

A bird's-eye view of the center of Suno City, in front of the heavily guarded castle of the lord is a wide city square, fountains, fish ponds, Flower beds and other leisure facilities occupy part of the area, the rest of the area is solid marble floors, tonight's square is neatly lined up with a dozen teams of sergeants, these veterans in sleeveless armor once they perceive the attack, they will use their hammers to smash the head of each attacker, as a veteran of street fighting, Kraggs personally supervised the defensive front, and the four passages leading to the square are under their control, but Kragus is a little negligent, there are not many civilian buildings in the center of the city, and a large number of aristocratic mansions have extremely high floors, enough to cover the high walls of the castle。

"It's almost time, Thirteen! Let Fourteen and Seven snipe the four sentinels on the top floor of the castle!"

On the top floor of a tall building about 100 meters away from the castle, Odysseus looked at the changes in the night sky, when the clouds covered the bright moon, Asfa beside him raised his arms and made a gesture, and two figures holding large sniper crossbows appeared on the platform of another tall building nearby, and two crossbow arrows instantly killed the two sentries at the castle tower, and the remaining two guards were also shot through the throat in confusion, and the commanding heights of the castle had become the biggest blind spot before the attack began......

"Seven. Despite their negligence on the top floor, in order to ensure a 100% success rate, we still need a few volunteers to raid the lower floors, and this operation is under your command!"

"Are you crazy? The operation commander is you not me, those brainless bastards, let Ten settle it, where is he now?" (To be continued.) )
