Chapter 5 Euan 3
As winter approached, the sun grew more and more lazy, and before the hard-working citizens of the imperial capital could finish their day's work, it hung down into the mountains to the west, and the orange-red afterglow was obscured by the endless boulders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoThe slums are even more desolate in the twilight, and the white moonlight reflects on the dilapidated streets and abandoned buildings, adding a chill to the cold night.
Euan stood straight at the top of a ruined house, looking down on the ruined city, the night wind blowing his long, bright red scarf and tossing it behind him. The scarf dancing in the wind looked strange in the desolate scene, like a red letter spit out by a poisonous snake, constantly provoking the enemy and showing its danger. Euan is a ferocious serpent that the O'Brien family remembered when the Black Death first took action two years ago. It was a well-planned and ruthless operation, and Euan and seven of his personally trained men ambushed a team of noble knights from Lion Harbor on the outskirts of the imperial capital, with eighteen Lionheart Knights, two nobles, and four servants all spared. The poor aristocratic boys wept and collapsed on the ground, trying to beg for relief from their weakness, only to have their throats brutally cut without even seeing Euan's face. Euan cut off the head of one of them and hung it on the horse of the lost owner, and pinned a letter to the bloody head with a crossbow arrowโ"To the Lord of Lion Harbor: my fangs have been bitten into O'Brien's throat, prepare your urn, the Black Death will soon consume your twisted world." โ
"I can't imagine that the fearsome Raven Head could stand in such an exposed position, and do you know that I can shoot you with an arrow without showing up?" a thin, mocking voice came from a dark corner, but Euan didn't bother to glance at the man lurking in the shadows.
"You can give it a try. Euan replied.
"Hmph, sooner or later, your arrogance will kill you. The speaker finally emerged from the darkness, his unusually thin body wrapped in delicate tight-fitting leather clothing, and his face completely hidden within the erected collar and hood.
"Straight down to business, Ravallen. โ
Juan's cold tone made Ravalen, who was extremely reluctant to act as a messenger, uncomfortable, and he had never had a good impression of Euan, and even a hint of hostility, but he had to succumb to Euan's breathtaking art of killing. Indeed, when it comes to assassination, Euan is the true master, not only because he is Cleon's son, but also because of his unique talent that he cannot match. "My troops are on their way, Marion will soon be on their way, and Lord Duke thinks the time is ripe for you and your men to act as quickly as possible to ensure the success of the vital landing. โ
"I'll do it right away. โ
Lavalen shook his head helplessly and continued: "In addition, the Duke was very dissatisfied with your last action, and he used his connections to move Quetoen to a safer place. As for the magic swordsman you mentioned, the Duke believes that Nevuit is absolutely incapable of invoking the power of the Blue Tower, and the rest is up to you. โ
"I'm still skeptical about his identity, but he doesn't seem to have come to O'Brien yet, and maybe his presence was just an accident. Tell the Duke that I will continue to follow his activities and do everything in my power to avoid making him a nuisance to us. โ
"Well, looking forward to your performance in the landing operation, I take my leave. Lavalen quickly re-disappeared into the night, fed up with the cold tone in which Euan spoke to him, to him as if the snow had accumulated at the very top of the Toaron Mountains, and every time Ewing appeared, everything around him froze him.
Euan didn't leave right away, he was still hunting in the cold wind, and his eyes were on the large arena that was still lit up in the distance.
"Could it be him?" Youan wondered.
