Chapter 026: Inheritance Scroll
Hearing Nero's sister, Cheryl seemed happy, and her frowning brow stretched a little.
Here, Nero again asks the most important question of the moment: "Sister, will those assassins come again?"
"Probably not," Cheryl shook her head: "You think that the masters are all cabbages, it is impossible for them to organize a decent kill, and that organization has a creed, if the defector escapes the organization's round of siege, he will not come to trouble that person again, and that person is truly free." β
Nero breathed a sigh of relief and wondered, "What kind of organization is that?"
"Have you ever heard of Shadowhunters?"
Nero coughed twice in embarrassment, she really didn't know.
Cheryl smiled and patiently explained the mysterious organization to Nero.
"The Shadowhunters, the largest assassin organization in the mainland today, are also the oldest killer organizations, mainly doing murderous business for employers for bounties. I was an orphan, I was captured there at a very young age, I was trained as an assassin, the training there was brutal, only a few of the new people in each batch came out alive, at that time I was very good, and became a gold medal assassin of the organization with excellent results, and when my strength reached the level of brilliant diamonds, I was named "Moon Charm" by the organization......"
In Cheryl's explanation, Nero also gradually learned that the mysterious killer organization was indeed bigger than he imagined.
Cheryl's ability to survive this assassination can be described as extremely thrilling, if it weren't for the fact that the situation underestimated Cheryl's true strength and sent some masters, the outcome would not be certain.
Fortunately, the headquarters of the Shadow Hunter is also very far away from the Lionheart Empire, and the assassination of Cheng DΓΉ like the one before has even uprooted the main forces planted in the entire Lionheart Empire, and the dozen or so people who were assassinated are all great masters, which is a big loss for a country, so it is impossible to send assassins of the same scale as before.
If you think about killing a transcendent master, you have to weigh your own weight, maybe they can do it, but think about the real price and energy.
Cheryl also explains why she betrayed the Shadowhunters.
"The higher the strength, the greater the difficulty of the task, everyone is afraid of death, but to break away from the organization, unless you first lift the death curse mark in the body from Xiaobu, the curse mark is enhanced with its own strength, without the help of a king-level strength of the master can not be lifted, and at the same time, it is necessary to escape an assassination of the organization, the organization's intelligence network is almost all over the mainland, and it is almost impossible to escape. β
"In one mission, I failed, and a mysterious man saved my kill target and easily defeated me, but afterwards the mysterious man did not kill me, and even lifted the curse seal placed in her body for me, allowing me to be free. But even so, I still don't dare to flee the organization, even if my strength is not weak, but if the organization finds out my whereabouts, I will inevitably die......"
So, the mysterious man helped Cheryl again, gave her a token, and asked her to go to the Lionheart Empire to find the prime minister of the current dynasty, and asked him to arrange a new identity for Cheryl, and at the same time, the mysterious man also gave Cheryl three inheritance scrolls, in addition to Cheryl's own use, let her find two other suitable successors.
It is also that inheritance that made Cheryl's strength break through from diamond to master, at this time, she is only 22 years old, if it were not for this breakthrough in strength, she would not dare to leave the imperial capital to do business.
And Nero is the heir to the last inheritance that Cheryl thinks is the most suitable.
Cheryl's promotion surprised Nero.
Although Nero was only eighteen years old when she advanced to the Transcendent Master, and she broke through to the strongest king before her death at the age of twenty, her success is extremely difficult to replicate. Because of her mission since childhood, she took on the heavy responsibility of the family at a very young age, and at the same time, she didn't need too fancy skills to lead troops to fight, she only needed to improve her strength in pure high-intensity combat and the most primitive way, saving a lot of time to learn martial arts, so at that time, the highest martial arts she mastered were only B level.
But for a good assassin, skill often takes precedence over realm, and every move is meticulous and steady, which requires a lot of practice, not to mention that she also has many high-end martial arts.
The most crucial point is that Cheryl is still a woman, such a young woman.
Therefore, Nero was a little curious about the inheritance scroll that Cheryl was talking about, but that scroll was now kept in Cheryl's home in the imperial capital, and she could only go there in person.
On this day, Nero talked a lot with his new sister.
Because of such a new backer, some of the problems that plagued Nero were solved at once.
On the one hand, she was still having a headache about how to get rid of the identity of "Nicole", Cheryl directly gave Nero an extra place to go to the imperial capital, and when it came to the quota of the imperial capital academy, Nero suddenly had a new idea.
So, she asked her sister for two more new places, and Cheryl generously agreed, which was insignificant to Cheryl's status at this time.
Cheryl was so tired that night that she fell asleep as if relieved, and Nero stayed by her sister's side until she awoke.
......
A new day has arrived, and the sun has never been brighter.
The envoys of the Imperial Capital ended their mission and started their journey back to the Imperial Capital early, and for the students of Langton Academy, they were excitedly waiting for the Academy to announce the places of the five Imperial Capital Colleges, which would be the new pride of the Academy.
The first place is the richest and most handsome and perfect knight in the city, but I heard that he seems to have his head pumped and said that he wants to go out on adventures alone, so he is not seen in the academy, and his invitation is taken by the steward of the city lord's mansion.
Buzeer, the first warrior of the warrior department, looked at the second name on the list, with such a smug expression, and immediately said that he wanted to treat the brothers to a big meal, and at the same time sighed that the girl in Langton City did not understand her tenderness, and he was going to the imperial capital to find his true love.
The third place is Noelle, a top student in the strategy department.
There are also two elites in the knight and warrior lines, respectively, and there is not much difference between them and what was expected.
The quota has been confirmed, and the semester is almost over, and for Langton College graduates, it is time for them to face a new life and start their own journeys.
Some students want to become famous as a mercenary and go to the outside world to experience, some students inherit the family business and become a nobleman or businessman, and some finally walk with their favorite girl and are about to hold a wedding.
Graduation season is the most lively.
And when it comes to the next most interesting news, it is none other than the noble son of Viscount Lawson, the richest man in the city, who has been divorced again.
The boy didn't know what evil he had done, and he was engaged to Nicole, the first beauty in the city, but he went to withdraw from the marriage a month before the beauty of the family, which became a big joke. However, he was then engaged to Sophie, the great beauty of the academy, showing Viscount Lawson's ability to take the lead as a businessman, but somehow he was forcibly withdrawn from the marriage by Sophie and returned all the gifts from the current engagement.
Everyone is wondering if there is something wrong with Viscount Lawson's noble son, otherwise why would the two beauties of the academy abandon them......
......
Heinbel was packing up his things in the house.
He's leaving.
In the college, the identity of the borrowed student has no meaning, the family's business needs some helpers, and it needs someone with brains to help, he has a bright brain since he was a child, and he is the helper his father needs the most.
"Father, my greatest talent is not to be a businessman!"
There was a little pain in my heart, and I was a little unwilling.
The walls of the room are plastered with maps of the continent, and the bookshelves are full of various general histories of the empire, as well as a simple sand table made by himself, on different terrains, on which are placed all kinds of toy legions, in addition to infantry, knights, spearmen, marksmen, siege vehicles and other common troops, as well as griffins, magicians, demons, orcs, dragons, etc., these are his favorite toys.
And after today, these things, he has to say goodbye.
