Chapter 111, Do You Buy Flowers?
At night, in a city called Saqam in the northeast of the Kingdom of Lane, the cold wind blew through the uninhabited streets, and it was difficult to see the five fingers around the eyes, and the bright moon in the night sky was covered by thick clouds. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This city built along the river has a long history, and although the overall area is small, it is an important fortress city, blocking the road from south to north.
The whole city is made of bricks mixed with mud and stone, and the towering walls are crisscrossed with crowded streets and houses.
At this time, in the quiet narrow streets of Sakam, a few barking dogs can be heard from time to time, and the murmur of a drunkard as he hurries, and if you are lucky, you may hear a few sultry moans before passing by the door of a certain house.
In the southwest corner of the city, deep in the alleys, there is a tavern that is still brightly lit even in the dead of night.
The tavern has no windows and no decoration on the outside, and at first glance it looks exactly like an ordinary house, except for the pink fluorescent sign hanging from the doorway, the eye-catching word 'Charm', and the noise coming from inside the thick door, which indicates that this place is unique.
"Hahaha, this time it was really a big profit, although the risk was also high, but in the end it was successfully completed. ”
In the bar in the corner of the tavern hall, a thin figure dressed in a black leather shirt, with a ruby necklace around his neck and gray hair, showed that he was not young.
The man had a cigarette holder in his mouth, and his face was slightly wrinkled, but the wrinkles were more visible because of his bright smile, and he was constantly counting the gold coins stacked on the table in front of him, and laughed happily at the same time.
"Boss Ion, this time is indeed a pleasure, after all, it is enough to catch up with the Temple Church, and it will be of great benefit to our future development. Another person at the bar said.
"That's right, those sanctimonious guys have been advocating their own justice before, and I am afraid they never expected that they would find us one day. Said the guy known as Ion.
As the leader of the Shadowless Society, he didn't expect that the Temple Church would become his client, and in the past, it would be nice for the two sides to meet without drawing their swords.
"Because those guys are in a hurry, if the dragon clan dominates the continent, I'm afraid their status will be moved backwards. A burly man in the hall said, holding up a wine glass in his hand.
"Yes, they must have been unable to figure it out, and that's why they found us. ”
"Tell us about the mission, Boss, and how you managed to escape from the dragon's mouth. ”
"Cheers to Boss Ion!"
Everyone in the hall of the tavern raised their glasses as if to celebrate a glorious victory, and some people even coaxed to let Aion tell the story of his mission.
I'm afraid outsiders can't imagine that this innocuous tavern located on the edge of the city will be the residence of the well-known assassination union in the mainland, the Shadowless Society.
The tavern, which was originally deserted, was also very lively today, and in order to celebrate the completion of a big deal, Ion, as the leader, deliberately gathered everyone together.
At the same time as the banquet, you can also better declare your strong strength, after all, not everyone can complete the task under the nose of the dragon.
"Hmph, there's nothing to say, those stupid dragons, I didn't take them seriously at all, what's the use of being strong, in the end, it depends on who has a smart brain. Aion said unconcernedly.
But the smug expression on his face betrayed his excitement at this time.
"When I stabbed the princess, the golden dragon who rushed in, with a shocked expression on his face, almost laughed to death, and actually said that I must pay the price, but in the end I didn't leave safely, and before leaving, I told him that I didn't need to send it. ”
Without waiting for everyone to urge, Aion himself seemed to be unable to stop, and said the process of the task smoothly.
"Hahaha, worthy of being the boss of Ion, I can't learn your kind of skills in my life. Everyone around looked at each other with admiration.
Listening to Ion's description, everyone had begun to imagine the scene in their minds, and put themselves in it, feeling the feeling of successful assassination, playing with the dragon, and finally leaving in style.
"By the way, Boss Ion, how does that princess look, I heard that she is a silver-haired beauty. Soon everyone's topic shifted to Alyssa.
"Well, indeed, she is a very beautiful princess, and even I can't help but be moved. Aion said.
Recalling the moment at that moment, when the short sword was stabbed, the horror in the other party's red eyes made Ai Wen unforgettable, because it was so beautiful.
Knock knock!
At this moment, there was a knock on the wooden door of the tavern from outside, and everyone present instantly fell silent and turned their eyes to the door.
It's so late, who else is going to be here?
As an Assassin, he lived a dark life, and everyone, including Ion, was ridiculously vigilant, and the slightest disturbance would immediately arouse their suspicions.
Although the Tavern is usually open to the public, there are very few customers, and it is impossible for any guests to appear late at night.
Knock knock!
The knock continued, and Aion motioned for everyone to be calm, and then ordered his men to open the door, while he himself took out a dagger from a drawer under the bar, ready to respond to the attack that could come at any moment.
In the ugly sound of opening the door, with the vigilant eyes of everyone, the door was slowly opened.
"Hello!"
It was a small girl in a blue and white plaid dress who spoke, her little face was a little dirty, her clothes were white, her slender body and her skin were yellow, and she looked like a child of a poor family, only the other party's long golden hair looked so dazzling at night.
"Hello, do you want to buy flowers?" said the little girl again.
Only then did the members of the Shadowless Society come back to their senses and look at the flower basket on the other party's right hand, in which were some not-so-bright roses and lilies.
"No, we don't. The man who opened the door said and tried to close the door.
"Please, please buy some, or I'll be beaten, and I won't be able to sell a single one today. The girl was naturally unwilling to give up, and ran into the house with a smoke.
Ai On and the others didn't expect that such a half-grown little girl would be so bold, you must know that everyone present was an assassin who licked blood with a knife, and her body invisibly exuded murderous aura.
But this little girl had to be surprised to see that everyone was not only not afraid, but even dared to rush in.
For a moment, Ai Yong suspected a possible conspiracy in his heart, but he was quickly denied by himself, such a little girl had no combat power at all.
Even a faint trace of magic doesn't exist, otherwise, the detector on the door frame of the gate should have reacted.
The identity of this little girl is naturally Ye Xun, and when he learned that it was the Shadowless Society that assassinated Alyssa, he acted non-stop.
According to the information provided by Charlotte, he first found the group of members of the Shadowless Society who were in charge of the connection, and then learned about the stronghold from the other party.
After a series of arrangements, tonight was the time for Ye Xun to make a move, and in order to ensure that the leader of the Shadowless Society was completely killed, he chose to come alone to investigate.
And sacrifice a camouflage killing weapon, spiritual energy transformation card, this kind of prop that does not produce any magic power, even the eyes of the dragon clan, can not see through the camouflage.
"I said, let's not spend. Ion's subordinates said impatiently.
"Bring her here. ”
At this moment, Ion's voice came, and through the observation just now, he keenly discovered the bright eyes hidden under the dirty little face.
"It's a good seedling. Aion thought to himself.
This time he completed a big order, and Ai Yong was happy, but he also found a problem that he had forgotten, that is, he was old.
Don't look at what he said before, but at the end of the mission, he almost died in the dragon's attack, which also reminded him that he had to plan for his future.
The appearance of the little girl in front of him gave Ai on an idea that maybe it would be a good choice to train a successor.
