Chapter Seventy-Five: Conviction
Sain could not have imagined that Edge would want to kidnap him. A mere commoner, even if he is quite appreciated by Princess Kate, will not get carried away to the point of daring to kidnap a prince!, but when he leaves the court to contact the killer to assassinate Kate, Edge does so.
He and Giroud followed Sain all the way, waiting for an opportunity to kidnap him. They didn't know where Sain was going, they just felt that there was something unusual about Sain's actions. For he went not inside the city, but outside the city. In particular, he wears a hooded robe, as if deliberately hiding his appearance.
Seeing Sain like this, Aegie knew that something must be wrong, and he was even more determined to kidnap Sain for questioning.
In fact, Sain has important things to do when he goes out of town. He gets a second chance to assassinate Kate from the Inspector sent by the Church. For the sake of his surname, for the sake of his future status, he is determined to kill Kate. The king did not dare to oppose the church, let alone a prince.
And the ball to welcome the apostles of the Holy See gave him a great opportunity to assassinate Kate. Kate had to wear an evening dress at the ball, and not too many soldiers would be allowed to be present. The apostles of the Holy See would not like to be watched at their balls, let alone be in danger of being assassinated.
Therefore, the defensive force at the ball must be relatively weak, as long as you find a strong person to enter the ball with a reasonable identity, there must be a chance to assassinate Kate. As a prince, Sain has no problem even helping a stranger into the ball.
He is now going out of the court to find someone to kill Kate, and this person's strength is not inferior to the clown killer in Divine Grace. Because he is Hadar, one of the fifteen gold-level bounty hunters known as the "Death of the Deep Sea" who is feared by countless forest monsters and bounty hunters.
The reason why Hadar has the title of "Death of the Deep Sea" is because he is a man from the sea, and secondly because he can control the water to attack. There were countless high-level monsters and bounty hunters who had died under his hands, so he was dubbed the "Grim Reaper".
Every great character seems to have an untold story, and Hadar is no different. He was very beautiful, and although he was a man, he had the beauty of a woman. This stems from the fact that he comes from the ocean. Five years ago, he floated from the ocean beyond the Pizza River, with sharper and longer ears than ordinary people, like an elf.
This is what makes him so impressive from the moment he sets foot in Caanster. There are no elves in the Eastern Continent, and the Eastern Continent is a land that belongs to all humans, such as elves and orcs all living in the Western Continent. As for why this continent is divided in this way, no one knows why.
To the surprise of the people of Caanster, Hadar had a heart that was incompatible with his beautiful appearance. Soon after arriving in Caanster, he joined the Adventure Guild, which was perhaps the first choice for outsiders to make a living in Caanster. A month later, it was realized that Hadar's joining the Adventure Guild as a bounty hunter might be a conspiracy.
Because Hadar used his ability to control the water elemental to carry out wanton slaughter, whether it was against Warcraft or bounty hunters. Hatefully, he carried out the massacre by the right means. Therefore, even if his actions were hateful, he was not sanctioned by the Inquisition.
Then, in just one year, he rose from a black iron bounty hunter to a gold level. But even so, his strength did not bring him praise, but the dissatisfaction of the vast number of bounty hunters. His presence is a great danger. As a result, many bounty hunters marched together to file a complaint against him and demand that the union punish him.
But because his previous massacre was covered up by legitimate means, even the court could not punish him, and the union could only expel him from the union. But no matter what, he is still a gold-level bounty hunter after all, and his strength is there, just like intimidating people everywhere.
After being expelled from the Adventure Guild, Hadar stayed in Caanster City, doing some work of "taking people's money and helping people to eliminate disasters". Naturally, the people who were willing to ask him to help eliminate the disaster were those nobles who had a bad reputation and were uneasy and kind. There were even times when the arena would ask him to be a gladiator and perform a killing feast in the arena.
After all, the hateful thing is that what Hadar did was not illegal, so even if he walked arrogantly on the street, those who saw him unhappy could only grit their teeth and stare at him.
Sain left the city and headed southwest on the outskirts of the city, to a small lake formed along the banks of the Pizza River. When I got there, I saw a man in blue waiting. The man in blue had long blue hair and looked like a woman. He was Hadar.
It is said that Rihadar is in the city, and when he came to this small lake, I am afraid that most of the time Sain asked him to come here to negotiate and trade.
Edge didn't follow Sain here. He knew the strength of Issain and Hadar, and if he followed him here, he would definitely be discovered. But he couldn't leave Sain's whereabouts alone, so he asked Giroud to follow Sain.
Giroud is a demon dragon, a demon dragon with an undead surname, which can turn on undead mode when tracking people. In this mode, it is equivalent to shielding the breath of life, so it cannot be detected through abilities such as elemental fluctuations. So I followed Sain all the way, and it didn't even notice.
Hiding in a tree behind Sain and Hadar, it could hear the conversation between Sain and Hadar clearly.
When Hadar heard Sain say that he was going to assassinate Kate, Hadar was shocked and then laughed. He really didn't expect Sain to kill his sister. The affairs between the royal family of the court are indeed complex and ruthless.
After laughing, Hadar snorted at Sain with an evil face: "I want to know, why did I agree to your terms? money, I don't lack money! Right, I don't disdain! You say, why should I risk my life to assassinate Princess Kate?"
"I like water, but my head doesn't get into it! Do you think I don't know that there are so many cunning guys hiding behind the back of the court? "Although Hadar is a gold-level bounty hunter, he knows that the strength of a mere gold-level is not enough to spread wild in the palace at will.
In other words, the assassination of Kate at the court ball is tantamount to suicide. Even if he can successfully assassinate Kate, he will definitely not be able to escape the court.
Sain looked at Hadar and sneered: "Hadar, you are known as the god of death in the deep sea, is your ability limited to this?"
"Money, you don't want it, I know. Right, you disdain, I know it. But, strength, you must want it! What you did in the past was nothing more than trying to prove yourself and prove your own strength! Now, assassinating Kate is such an opportunity. If you can kill Kate at the court ball and leave unharmed, then you can make a name for yourself in the entire kingdom of Relia!"
"I know you're going to laugh at me for being a scorn on you, and you can think I'm mad......! I think you're the one who's really crazy!"
"I'm always ready to welcome you to tomorrow night's court ball if you wish!" Sain said confidently to Hadar.
Hadar looked at him and still smiled evilly, but he didn't speak.
Ever since he became a gold-level bounty hunter, he's grown tired of what's going on around him. Killing people is just a means for him to seek thrills. Standing on the psychology of a normal person, it can be said that he is pathological. But it is precisely because he is sick that he carries out merciless slaughter.
"Hmph, I appreciate how dare you stand here and say something like that to me. But...... No one can control my thoughts and actions, what I want to do is my freedom!" Hadar snorted coldly as he stared at Sain.
"Well, then, the prince will not be verbose. Sain turned and left. The moment he turned around, there was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, as if Hadar had fallen for him.
Hadar did not stop him, and jumped into the small lake beside him. Then I saw only a few ripples in the Biser River from the small lake outside, and then there was no Hadar.
Sain returned directly to the city.
Giroud told Aegie what he had just heard about the conversation between Sain and Hadar. At this moment, Aegie knew that Sain was going to kill Kate's real murderer, and calculated the time, there was still a lot of time before the court ball tomorrow night, so he appeared on the outskirts of the city and stopped Sain.
He was going to capture Sain just that. There was nothing left to investigate, and the conversation between Sain and Hadar just now was enough to convict him.
It's really lucky, I didn't expect to get such a harvest unexpectedly from tracking Sain this time. In this way, Kate's side can also have an explanation.
