Chapter 61: Martial Arts, No Skills
With a faint splash of silver moonlight, [Silver Shadow Killer] wiped a blood-stained broad-bladed short knife on the placket of his coat before retracting the knife bag behind his back, and then twisted his long leather boots almost ravagedly on Gaan's face.
Gai'an had a hard temperament, closed his eyes and let his face tremble constantly due to being trampled, and only covered the wound on his left arm and said nothing, as if this extreme insult was simply inflicted on others.
"Stop!" Prince Conwede jumped out of the carriage and shouted, "How dare you do this?!I command in my capacity as Prince of Roset!You, my royal killer!Stop insulting Gayen!"
"I order you to stop, in the name of the princess of Rosette!" Connie jumped out of the car and shouted at the female killer, but she was too afraid of her to step forward.
"Joke! You dare to order me?!" The female killer snorted, not only did she not show any sign of obedience, but the force on her feet became even harder.
Well, the prince and princess have some looks serious about it, but they don't think it through. If you, as a member of the royal family, are effective in stopping her, why would this killer have the courage to attack Gaian, who is the mentor of the prince and princess? There is only one possibility, that is, the female killer is not afraid of offending the royal family, then there is only one fact - the betrayal of the royal killer!
Guessing the most likely scenario, she betrayed the royal family that hired her, and was even hired by Connie's rival to the royal family, then the ultimate goal of her tracking for a week was ...... Kill the prince and princess!
I was taken aback by the results of my own guesses.
"I'm Nain Fett of the Slave Federation!" "Nain, who was still heavily injured in the claws of the earth, barely raised his head and shouted: "Help us save the young master, and I will definitely reward you greatly!"
"Shut up, don't disturb my game!" exclaimed the female killer.
The mask of this female killer is very distinctive, covering only the center of the nose, and the eyes and mouth are exposed, so there is no obstacle to the sound of sound, even eating.
Strange, though, there's something very strange. It suddenly occurred to me that the top killers in my impression are all silent types, why would she, as a royal killer, say such a big thing?
Discover !! Bardell's Shadow Physical Abilities 4 Mana 2
The ability is high, and the wolf wife Yasha level can barely deal with it, and if it is Annabella and Vitara level, it can win steadily. I don't know when they'll wake up, but the best thing to do right now is to take time!
Exploring the Memories !!
"This gushing blood!" a female voice sounded in the ears of those whose memories I had probed, and there was excitement in her tone.
The female killer looked at the place, two large hands holding a pair of smaller hands strongly, and in these trembling little hands held a dagger, and this dagger without a handle was inserted in a man's abdomen, and blood was gushing out of the wound.
In a low whining and sneer, the injured man seemed to be gagged and tied to the post, not to his face, his upper body was **, and his lower body was wearing knight's armor.
Detecting memories can also enjoy the same feeling at that time, the person who detects the memory seems to be constantly trembling, a disgusting soft touch comes from the hand, and the vision seems to be fascinated by a mist of water, which should be the blur of tears.
Under the pull of those big hands, the dagger held by the small hands was slowly pulled out, and the blood flow suddenly became even worse. In an instant, the dagger was thrust back with a sudden pop, and even the young hands were almost inserted into the abdomen. With the terrifying touch of his hands as if they were in a swamp, the wounded knight shook violently, and there was no more sound.
The person being detected was completely speechless.
"How? This is the blood of your own father, and you will no longer fear killing. The female voice ringing in her ears was no longer emotional, as if it was only an insignificant ant or a mosquito that had been killed casually.
"Daughter, you and I took it together...... It was my husband's life!" The female voice continued to say ruthlessly: "The women of the Shadow Clan should be like this, the rite of passage is to kill their own father! This is the fate of my clan cursed by the two gods of the sun and the moon, and I must not disobey it at all!"
The point of view jerked stiffly, forced himself to pull the long dagger out of the corpse's abdomen, staggered back two steps and collapsed to the ground, his lips trembling, the muscles of his limbs tensing and relaxing, as if trying to control his body from trembling like chaff.
As the point of view slowly moved upward, a beautiful female figure in her early thirties appeared, with the same silver hair as [Silver Shadow Killer] and a silver tight-fitting suit, but there was no silver mask on her expressionless face. I saw that she opened her lilac lips slightly: "After this level, your tempering has ended, but as a biological mother, I will tell you a very important experience at the end......
The purple-lipped woman slowed her words, leaned over to the person who was sitting paralyzed, and directly grabbed the blade of the dagger with her hand and pulled it towards her, ignoring the pain of the palm being cut and bleeding, and continued to say: "After killing, you must enjoy the joy of killing, seriously experience the excitement of waiting for a long time, and put all your attention on the bloodthirsty pleasure of being a killer! Don't be silent, you can't be lonely, otherwise, you'll ...... In the end, it will be your own broken spirit and soul that will be killed!"
"Listen carefully! From today onwards, you are the new [Silver Shadow Killer]!" After relieving herself again, the purple-lipped woman let out a loud shout, and at the same time, a dark red blood light suddenly burst out, and she stabbed the dagger in her palm back into her throat, and quickly fell backwards in front of the dead man......
When I realized that the memory was over, I was like a tragic drama, and I still couldn't come to my senses for a long time.
After sorting out the thoughts, it gradually became clear. However, what is the curse of the two gods of the sun and the moon? But one thing I figured out was that the reason why this female killer was not a silent hunter - it was to prevent the killer who had been slaughtered too much from having a nervous breakdown.
"Wow~~~~~~~" Conwede suddenly let out a scream, pulling my consciousness back.
With a muffled crash, Conwed was violently pushed by the female killer Bardell* Shadow into a tree, with a handleless long-bladed dagger stuck in his shoulder, and a stream of dark red blood quickly flowed down the mage's robes.
Bang! Bang! Two magic scrolls burst open where Gayan fell, and a slight fluctuation of hypnotic magic was heard.
Despite being severely injured, Gayan and Nain had fallen into a passive sleep under the close effects of the two magic fluctuations, slowly letting go of the arm that was pressing the wound.
Presumably, it was Conwede who threw the scroll at the female killer Badelle, but the latter immediately ducked and subdued the prince.
Stupid! Is your ability to compare to a professional killer? I shook my head and sighed that he didn't think about the consequences.
"Conweild!" Connie grabbed three scrolls from under her robe and rushed forward.
It's a little girl, after all!" I sighed again. It's not a bunker, what's the use of being reckless and desperate?!
"Wow~!" Connie was soon nailed to a nearby tree by another dagger drawn by the female killer.
Oh no! The female killer Badelle dared to clash with the prince so seriously, she must have been hired......! Kill the prince and the princess! Coupled with the claim that Conway and Connie each have half of the inheritance, then it can be concluded that this is not a struggle for power between princes, but only ...... Civil rebellion!!
Although it doesn't matter to me whether there is a rebellion in the Black Elf Country, but the fire at the city gate will affect the pond fish, and Alice and I will never be let go by the female killer, and will definitely be wiped out!
"Little girl, dare to rush up and find death!" Bardell took out a third dagger from the half-exposed leather pouch on the side of her plump thighs, shook it in front of the princess's face, first in a cold tone, and then said with a playful smile: "Do you want to punish you in the face?"
“...... Don't ......" Connie, who was injured in the shoulder, was completely confused, and there was no longer the [heroic] shadow in her tone, only covering the wound on her right shoulder with her left hand, and two tears had already flowed down her cheeks with a whimper.
"No, those who dare to offend me can't let it go~" Bardell pressed the sharp side of the dagger to Connie's cheek, forcing her to tilt her head back with all her strength to avoid it.
"Ah~~~ It's inexplicable. I got out of the car, stretched lazily, and said, "Someone actually doesn't exist for me!" Dare to bully a girl in front of me, even if she is a woman, but I can't sit idly by." ”
"Little handsome man, I've noticed you their captive a long time ago. The female killer Badelle still maintained a threatening posture towards Connie, and said without even twisting her head: "You must have been robbed of the power of resistance by the energy-absorbing bracelet, what can you do?"
"Hey, who said you can't fight without strength?" I asked, patting my head and tilting my head.
"Joke, what can you do if you don't have the strength?" asked Badelle, smirking at the words, letting go of Connie and turning to me, tossing the dagger in her hand.
"You can't come on, call [Silver Shadow Killer] in vain. I shook my head regretfully, "Let me ask you, what is the ultimate level of martial arts cultivation?"
"......" Badelle was stunned, obviously never thinking about it.
Hehe, please enter the urn, the Silver Shadow Killer is starting to enter the set. Where can you compare with Lord Benma, who is overflowing with martial arts and cultivation knowledge?! Let me tell you about the field of martial arts that I have never had before!
"When the martial arts are practiced to the highest level, the martial artist will ......" I stood firm in front of the car, holding the car door with my right hand, and deliberately stared at the silver shadow killer Badelle, but I just sold it and refused to continue.
"What will happen?" asked Badelle after a moment's wait, seeing that I had no intention of continuing.
Hehe, people in this world will also be interested in martial arts experience in order to become strong, that's good, I have seen a lot of martial arts novels, and the real essence of martial arts can't be given easily, otherwise it will be unprecious.
"As a royal killer, you must have a high level of martial arts, but I don't know how patient you are when you are young. As I spoke, I walked towards Princess Connie, who was sitting on the ground against a tree.
When I passed by Badele, who was tossing the dagger, I didn't even look at her out of the corner of my eye, and walked straight ahead with confidence, as if I was not afraid of her sudden attack.
“...... In order to get the opportunity to attack Gai'an, I waited for seven whole days, and I was not patient enough?"
Okay, the first step was successful, and now I'm in charge!
"How's the wound? Can you stand up?" I crouched down to check Connie's injury, which was holding her shoulder.
The wound was much shallower than I expected, and the shoulder was only scratched by a dagger, apparently not injured the muscles and bones, and it is estimated that the reason for sitting on the ground was more frightening. This female killer can be regarded as showing mercy to the woman's subordinates, and the prince Conwed on the side is nailed to the trunk of a tree with a dagger on his shoulder.
"You ......" Connie couldn't figure out the details of me, and after listening to the inexplicable words just now, her big black eyes blinked vigorously, trying to penetrate me.
"Go back to the carriage and get some rest. I hesitated for a moment, not confident enough to pick her up, so I had to hold her hand and help her stand up.
Connie quickly got up, looked me deep again, and ran briskly to her brother Conwyde.
I turned around and walked to the carriage.
"Tell me, what will happen to the final level of the martial arts you just mentioned?" asked Badelle again.
"What's the hurry? When you should know, you will naturally know, and if you don't know, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to know. I still ignored the Silver Shadow Killer who passed by, and reprimanded in a low voice as I walked back to the carriage: "You are so anxious that it is taboo to learn martial arts!"
The reason why I took such a risk to go back and forth to the female killer's side was to show that I was confident and make Badelle suspicious, second, to delay waiting for someone in the carriage to wake up in time, and third, to show concern to Connie to send a free favor, and then ......
"Oops! I didn't have to look back to know that it was because of the dagger on my shoulder.
When we got to the front of the carriage, we turned around and saw that Bardell had put away the dagger from Conwyde's shoulder, and was standing there with her hands on her elbows.
"You lighter!" complained Connie, crouched beside a grunting Connie.
Hey, princess, can't you figure it out?
"What kind of pain are people afraid of dying!" said Bardell, swaying the blood-stained dagger in front of them, causing the prince and princess to change their faces.
"Hey, I say, they're already prey that you can't escape, so why bother. Seeing this, I hurriedly helped and said, "I will talk about the essence of martial arts, in exchange for a few more days for them to live?"
Although it doesn't matter if Conweid is dead, the lovely black elf princess Connie has to do her best to protect it.
"How many more days will they live?" Badelle ignored the royal sister, turned and walked over to Gaian and Nain, knocking them unconscious with a bang.
Well, I don't want the stronger two to hear what I say, so this is to let Connie and Conwede live until dawn by default. I secretly rejoiced that as long as I had time, I would have the opportunity to subdue her.
"Hey, Connie, do you have anything to eat?" I walked over to the small compartment behind the carriage where I had my luggage and began to rummage through it unceremoniously.
I haven't eaten anything since I ate bread and milk with Xiwei at noon today, and I haven't even eaten a drop of water! Too many things have happened, and the dwarven feast that I was going to eat with my stomach is also disturbed by the corpse. If it weren't for the constant feeling of emptiness in my stomach, I really can't remember that it was already night until now, and I hadn't had a chance to eat.
"......" Connie, Conwed, and Badelle were completely dazzled by my strange behavior.
I'm going to pretend to be a master, of course, I have to be informal, and I am different from ordinary people everywhere, which will make Badelle more interested in what I am going to say.
Wow, pink dressing gown! I rummaged through my duffel bag and found a piece of clothing that was quite revealing and transparent in a small suitcase.
Hehe, what a sexy nightgown, I really want the effect of a beautiful woman wearing it, I can't help but imagine it.
"Don't rummage, that's mine!" Connie screamed and ran over with a blushing face, snatching the gown and stuffing it back into the box.
"Huh. Badelle laughed on the sidelines without a killer demeanor.
Something is wrong!
It suddenly occurred to me that both Connie and Conwed seemed to be too calm, why did they, who were pampered by royalty, not run away in a carriage when faced with the threat of a killer?
Also, why didn't the Silver Shadow Killer kill the most threatening Gaian with a single blow? Even the most important targets, the prince and princess, did not kill them. Just a game of cat and mouse to compensate for the psychological imbalance caused by the killing?
No, it shouldn't be like this! If you overturn everything I've been to and what I've experienced, these anomalies can be explained!
Could it be ...... After slowly but carefully dialing the calculations in my mind, I suddenly came up with an inference that even I thought was ridiculous.
However, if this inference is true, what kind of trap did Gayan set up on me and Annabella?......!
Forget it, it's not all certain, this inference will be put aside first, and I'll fill my stomach first.
"Would you like to have some? After a little more tossing, I found a piece of bread that I didn't know what to do, sat back on a chair in the carriage, and began to eat. It tastes good, and it seems to be a dry food made from pork and beef mixed with flour, and it is sandwiched with nuts such as raisins, and even has an umami flavor of seafood.
It is worthy of the royal dry food, and the materials are really expensive, and I want to laugh a little.
Although my mouth is a little dry, I deliberately don't look for water because there is a necessary procedure after drinking water...... That will reveal that he is actually a woman's feet, so I'd rather endure it, it's really depressing.
Badelle sat down by the tree to wipe the dagger, and Connie and Conwed tended their own injuries, which was a complete indulgence to me.
That makes my ridiculous inference more likely!
Although I roughly guessed the truth, I ...... I still pretend that I don't know, I am at a disadvantage now, who knows what the result will be after exposing it, and this situation is most suitable for the first form of the Holy Maiden's War Sutra [Dangerous Frog Marquis].
"It's greasy, but it's delicious. "I said to myself.
The three of them were still busy with their own business.
Hehe, although it's not your acting mistakes, it's a little fake for me. It is common sense to assume that as the only and potentially effective fighting force, the princess and the prince should at least move closer to me, right? Why didn't they even look at me for help?
"Uh-huh......" When I was eating deliciously, Douglas beside me snorted softly and seemed to gradually sober up.
"Oh, are you awake?" I was not surprised, but confirmed that Douglas might also be a participant in [the truth].
I hurriedly shoved the last bit of bread into my mouth and swallowed it.
"Are you ......" Douglas asked, sitting up with his head covered, shaking his head and looking at me.
Hmph, I'm pretty good at pretending, but I'll still act with you.
"My name is Yavi and I'm a knight. I affectionately reached out and tapped him on the shoulder: "Nice to meet you, now we're in the same predicament." ”
“...... Your name is Yavi, what's wrong now?" Douglas ducked back with his shoulders back, obviously mindful of my greasy palms, not wanting to stain the gold-rimmed white-bottomed gentleman's outfit.
I ate the bread before you [woke up], and the dim candlelight is not enough to shine on it, is it?, and how can you know that I have greasy hands when I deliberately reach out and pat you with my palm downward?
The inference is correct!
"In a moment, our enemy is this female killer, and she wants to kill the prince and princess, and we, as bystanders, will not escape our fate. I said with a wry smile.
Douglas sighed, but there was no surprise in his eyes.
"Clever! know I'm not going to leave a mouth alive. Bardell stood up, straightened her tight-fitting silver outfit, and said, "All right, don't waste any more time!
"Alas, if I don't lecture you well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to climb to the first-class realm of martial arts. I sighed helplessly, got up and stepped out of the carriage and smiled at Douglas with a free friendly greeting.
"Don't talk nonsense, get down to business!" Badelle urged, clasping her elbows in an indecent listening gesture.
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than what is lost, so the false is better than the real, and the insufficient is better than the ......," I said in a literary way.
Of course you don't understand, Douglas and the others are confused, and I am secretly happy. Badelle wore a mask and could not express herself, only from her eyes to her blank gaze.
"In other words, I'm afraid you won't understand it for the first time to talk about such a profound one. I smiled slightly, leaned against a tree and hugged my shoulders and continued: "The whole world has its own laws of operation. The strong will be harmed by this law, and the weak will be nourished by this law. Therefore, the strong may not always be at the advantage, and the weak can also defeat the strong enemy. ”
A few people were still at a loss for some reason.
"Does this have anything to do with martial arts?" said Bardell, feeling strange, reaching out and scratching her head.
"Related, related. The understanding of this passage is that in order not to allow themselves to be harmed by the laws of the world, the strong must maintain the abilities of the weak. I nodded vigorously in the affirmative, and quickly added, "Just like I am now." ”
Badel and the others were stunned, obviously surprised by my overly explicit boasting.
