Chapter Twenty-Seven: Straight to the Roots
In the endless night, Akaqi's feet always occupied the high ground of the city, and he instinctively turned one rooftop after another into his own path, but his mind was blank, and when this numbness gradually turned into an inexplicable pleasure, the governor's residence was already close in front of his eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"In the end, it was used again. ”
Akachi stopped on a roof near the exterior wall of the mansion and began to laugh as he adjusted his breathing.
How could Crulley give Lauride to himself for no apparent reason? It's a damn task, of course! It's a garbage dump in the trash!
Why was he given this task all of a sudden? Because the high-ranking Assassins of Cambeth are coming! The stupid Governor who likes to climb high and step low must have shown his intention to put Krulley aside. This idiot really can't see what a terrible character the big boss is.
"Fortunately, this is the last mission!"
Akachi suddenly retracted his smile. Out of professional habit, he scanned the buildings he was about to attack, and found that the Governor's Mansion had twice as many patrols as before, and all the guards that appeared to him were a group of lax, loose goods. It seems that it is not only the Quenching Dagger that has lifted Laureate's protection, but also the politicians who have been waiting for the Governor's ascension to heaven are also opening the door for him.
"What a fun night it was!" Akachi began to scout again.
Since so many people are looking forward to the performance of the great evil deeds, and are waiting for him to be thrown on the altar when they are done with him, he will give the people who warmly invite him a feast of death!
Don't stealth!
Let the foolish governor taste the despair of approaching death!
Polaris came out of its sheath again with a cold light, and Akachi looked at the sword with some fascination and exhaled softly, for a moment he thought that he no longer had the courage to look directly at the elven sword, which symbolized a constant position. However, at this moment, he strongly longed for this family sword to accompany him to the end, to sever his connection with Kruley.
After uttering his prayer in his heart, Akachi took a few steps back where he stood, and then leaped into the oak tree adjacent to the outer wall of the mansion, then jumped on the edge of the wall with a branch, and landed like a bird above the head of one of the guards under the stunned gaze of several patrols.
The elven sword drawn from the back of the guard's neck brought out a mist of blood, and Akachi's act of taking a human life in an instant was like a drop of water falling in a pan of oil, causing the governor's mansion to be in an uproar. A dozen or so guards near the outer wall all poured in, and several archers armed with bows and crossbows appeared on the terrace on the second floor of the residence, and Akachi greeted them without hesitation.
He dodged the spear that had stabbed him first, and used Polaris to deflect a flank from the side, then slid the hilt against the spear wielder's back and kicked him to the ground, then grabbed the spear of another guard and whipped it into the face of the third man, who stabbed firmly into the back of the fallen man. Then, the spinning posture that Akaki had practiced over and over again in the library around the mountain appeared, and after a half-spin with a cold light, several people fell to the ground clutching their bloody knees and screamed.
The guards had been swept apart in their formation, and Akachi pounced on a stunned guard with the force of a half-kneeling kick, picking Polaris through his belly to the heart.
The shooter on the second-floor terrace didn't get a chance to shoot until this moment, but unfortunately the first arrow landed in vain because one of Akacs rolled on the ground, and the second arrow pierced his own man's chest - Akachi picked up a fallen man from the ground to act as a shield. By the time the shooters were ready to attack again, they found that their target had been lost, and Akachi was already one step into the mansion.
Coming to the white three-story mansion for the third time gave Akachi the illusion that he was in a different world, and the bloody smell of the previous battle reminded him of what he saw and heard when he first came here. At that time, Akaki had only just debuted, but he had already shown a very satisfactory performance in assassin skills, so although he did not have much freedom at that time, he still had a bit of pride. At that time, Krulley sent him here to assassinate a treasurer, and he "accidentally" discovered the secrets of the former governor.
Many people knew that the young son of the former Governor had a congenital disease, and after many unsuccessful attempts to seek medical treatment, even a man as powerful as the Governor began to believe in magic. However, the mages who claimed to heal young children were in fact the magic sticks that Laurid had recruited. Their method of healing young children is ingenious: they actually soak the child in a pool full of blood, and then insert a parchment tube into the child's body to infuse him with blood.
When Akachi spotted the child, several wands were digging into the contents of a pregnant woman's belly. The victim was a very young half-elf woman, and Akaki could see that the girl was still the first child, but it was a pity that the mother never had the chance to tease her child again, and to live her life mixed with joys and sorrows, because she went to the altar of the devil and was consumed as material. In the treatment room prepared by the gods for the Doge's young children, there were other flesh and blood stumps of the victims, all pregnant women and young children, and most of them humans. Almost without thinking, Akachi sent them to the western heavens. Didn't Crulley say that as long as someone stopped him that day, or he didn't like it, he could do it.
Then he went to see the child who was soaked in the pool of blood. The child was actually completely unsaved, the tube stuck in his body was already stuck with him, even if he didn't care about him, the child probably wouldn't live for a few more days, just a few more days of sin, and Akachi turned around and plunged Polaris into his heart.
At that moment, one of the guards suddenly interrupted Akachi's memories with a stab. Akachi kicked the guard in the wrist with the knife, then slammed his knee into the man's stomach, and stabbed him in the back of the heart with the North Star as he bent over in pain.
As he pulled the North Star from the guard's back, blood splattered on Akachi's body, and Akachi's face smiled excitedly. After a few days with a few white sparrows, he had forgotten that one of the great pleasures of the Assassins was killing! That's why after he had finished tending to the children that day, he swung his sword and slashed everyone he saw in the governor's mansion with his sword, until it caused a storm in the city.
All of this is actually in Crulley's calculations, through which Lauride clears his financial troubles and transforms from a shameless villain who recruits gods and flatters superiors to a hero who exposes the dark secrets of those in power. As a result, d'Estaing's quenching dagger has a steady supply, and he himself has gained an incomparably loud name -- how memorable it is to be a great evil! Parents with young children, don't forget to boast to your children about the elves killing pregnant women and young children to stay there.
Akachi killed a guard with a clean sword, but Kruli kept him at the cost of what little dignity an elf had left for him to die. In the aftermath of the great misdeeds, Crewe punished him in a humiliating way, teaching him what he called a game that would make both the punisher and the punished both happy with each other, the game in which his mother committed suicide in humiliation...... Of course, he wouldn't care about that, it was the second pleasure of the Assassins besides killing!
The walls of the Governor's Mansion were almost covered in blood from Akachi, and the remaining incompetent guards lost the courage to attack Akachi, who made it up the last staircase to the third floor with an icy smile on his face.
Kruli ruined him, but Akachi couldn't kill him, because he was now the result of Kruli's cultivation.
In a way, Kruli was not only his superior, his mentor, his elder, his initiator, but also his shaper, and they knew each other too well for him to do. And Kruli is not the one who deprived him of his freedom, so it must be the one who deprived him of his liberty and made all the beginnings to bear full responsibility. So, who was the one who deprived him of his freedom, and who caused the results today?
