"And what about the second reason?" the old evil continued. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The second reason has to do with the disturbances I have encountered recently!" Catherine suddenly said solemnly: "Specifically, there is a group of unknown guys who always sneak up on our army, and I have lost three-digit sentries before and after! But I can't catch them at all, and I haven't even figured out the origin, which is really embarrassing! It is precisely because of this that I am worried that there is a conspiracy here, so I have not dared to disperse the troops." ”

"I heard that you were assassinated, what the hell is going on?" asked the old demon with a frown.

"Well, what else could it be? It was one night when he was suddenly attacked by an assassin who had entered the tent. There were more than a dozen of these assassins, and the two leaders were masters who had just stepped into the Sanctuary, one was a hybrid of orcs and humans, the other was a hybrid of elves and humans, and the others were almost all half-bloods of various races. Catherine then said helplessly: "Fortunately, Barton was there at the time, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not see you!"

"Who is going to assassinate you?" the old evil hurriedly asked, "Do you have any clues?"

"Well~" Catherine suddenly sighed softly, then lowered her head and stopped talking.

How clever the old evil was, as soon as he saw this posture, he knew that Catherine had something unspeakable, and hurriedly asked, "What do you know?

"The assassin was clean, with nothing to prove his identity. Catherine shook her head.

"No, you must have seen something!" the old evil man grabbed Catherine's shoulders and said unhappily, "Can't you even believe me?"

Catherine looked at the old evil's sincere gaze, and her heart suddenly softened, so she could only nod helplessly and said, "Indeed, I, I seem to be able to guess some clues." ”

"What is it?" said the old evil anxiously.

"That's right!" Catherine said suddenly, "Do you know about the Shadow Assassins?"

"I don't know!" the old evil immediately shook his head and said, "But I know the Shadow Sword Master, is there any connection between them?"

"You guessed it!" Catherine said solemnly, "The Shadow Assassin organization was formed by the Shadow Sword Saint on the orders of the previous Emperor. The purpose was to assassinate those whom the emperor did not intervene to get rid of. Due to the half-race status of the Shadow Sword Master, most of the assassins he took in and trained were half-bloods, and these people were orphans who were abandoned because of their half-blood status. After being raised by the Shadow Sword Saint, he naturally became his confidant wholeheartedly. It's also worth mentioning that you also know that many of the half-breeds are highly qualified, so these shadow assassins are also extremely strong, and they also have many special abilities that are difficult to guard against. As a result, they almost never miss a mission when they carry out their missions. It's scary!"

"Huh?" the old evil said puzzledly, "Then if that's the case, why didn't I ever know that there was such an organization?"

"Because this organization is absolutely secret, except for the principal Shadow Sword Saint, only the emperor and the recognized heir of the emperor are qualified to know. Catherine said solemnly: "The others, even your great-grandfather, the Lightning Law Saint, don't know!"

"Hehe, but you know!" the old evil immediately said with a smile: "Could it be that you have also been identified as the heir by the emperor?"

"No, I didn't!" Catherine said, "I knew about the existence of the Shadow Assassin because of my master. ”

"Your master?" the old evil immediately asked curiously, "How did he know?"

"My master had a good friend, a poet and painter, who did not have combat power in his own right, but was very prestigious on the mainland. But for some reason, I inadvertently offended my father. So he was assassinated at home. Catherine said helplessly: "Because this guy has offended too many people, no one knows who he was killed by at that time." But my master was very indignant about this matter, so he secretly launched an investigation, and it took more than three years to find out the ins and outs of the matter. It was then that he learned that the Shadow Sword Master had cultivated such a group of terrifying killers. ”

"Then what?" the old evil immediately asked curiously, "Why didn't your master slaughter your father?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Catherine said with a smile: "If my master dares to assassinate my father, then why don't the griffin kingdom immediately mobilize a million troops to destroy the Chaos Principality?

"Then that's what he does?" the old evil shrugged and said, "It seems that the friendship of the sword god is like that!"

"How can it be just like that?" Catherine said with a blank look at the old evil, "My master seriously injured the Shadow Sword Saint and killed most of the Shadow Assassins he had worked so hard to cultivate. If it weren't for the fact that the Shadow Sword Saint has the royal blood of the Griffin Kingdom, his life would not have been saved!"

"Yes!" the old evil nodded and said, "That's pretty much it!"

Then the old evil suddenly sneered: "However, if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, your master is not very clever, otherwise you won't be in danger!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Catherine smiled bitterly, "My master is not a god, how can he know what happened to me decades later?"

"Anyway, if he had done something cleaner at the time, you wouldn't have been so passive now!" the old evil then sneered, "Hmph, Shadow Sword Master, isn't it amazing?"

"Hey, don't be nonsense!" As soon as Catherine saw the old evil look, she immediately knew that he was going to be impulsive again, and hurriedly said: "This matter is just my guess, I can't be sure yet, you must not mess around!"

"You're not sure, I'm sure!" the old evil sneered: "This is all obvious, apart from the shadow assassin, where can there be so many mixed-race master assassins? Moreover, the bastard of the third prince has long been looking forward to killing you, he has been the prince for so many years, and he has long been designated as the heir to the throne, and it is normal to know the existence of the shadow assassin!

"But there is also the possibility of someone else impersonating, right?" Catherine said: "If you only rely on these suspicions, you will make a move, what if you are wrong?

"Whatever!" the old evil said indifferently: "Anyway, ** is not far from ten, according to me, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"

"Nonsense!" Catherine immediately said dissatisfiedly: "The shadow assassin is the secret weapon of our royal family, once you are innocently killed, then how can I be worthy of my father?"

"You know it's right for him!" said the old evil dissatisfiedly, "Don't you just want to think about what he did to you? How old are you? You were almost tossed to death by his newly-married slut! If it weren't for your master's appearance, you would have become a dry bone in the grave by now! Why did he go then?"

"Well, he's the father who gives me life, isn't he?" said Catherine bitterly, "In short, he can be unkind to me, but I can't be unjust to him!"

"En~" The old evil sighed depressedly, and then said unwillingly: "Then if I catch those fish that have slipped through the net and interrogate them to find out that their identities are shadow assassins." Can I just let go and clean up all the people who participated in your assassination?"

At this time, the old evil heart can be said to be full of murderous intent. In the past, he still estimated the Stephen family's position and was unwilling to do things too far. But I didn't expect that the three princes would intensify their efforts, and even used assassination. If it weren't for the fact that the old evil asked Barton to follow Catherine, it was obvious that after that assassination, the old evil would have no choice but to collect Catherine's body.

This completely angered the old evil, he was already deeply in love with Catherine, as an extremely protective person, the old evil naturally would not allow anyone to threaten his confidante. Therefore, he also made up his mind this time, no matter who instructed this assassination, he would kill them all, even if it was the third prince. He's even ready for a complete break with the griffon royalty!

However, after Catherine listened to the old evil's words, she hesitated and did not speak for a long time.

The old evil then said impatiently: "If you don't clean them up, you will be dragged back by them, now that the big war is approaching, do you still want the soldiers to keep vigil so tired every day?"

"Okay!" Catherine could only compromise when she heard that it was related to the fight against the demon: "The relevant personnel can be executed, but~" Speaking of this, Catherine suddenly stopped.

"But what?" the old evil asked hurriedly.

"But if the person behind the scenes is the Third Prince, I hope you can let him go!" Catherine said with a painful face.

"What?" the old evil said depressedly: "He wants to kill you, and you still protect him?" The old evil is now finally determined to wash Yanjing in blood, and naturally he is not willing to make a situation where the grass is cut and not eradicated, so he is very puzzled by Catherine's weakness.

But Catherine said very firmly, "Because I don't want the royal family to kill each other! You know, after all, I am his sister, how can I kill my brother?

"But~" The old evil smiled bitterly: "Is he going to put you to death first?"

"Then I won't want his life!" Catherine then said very resolutely: "Stephen, I know that your abilities are extremely terrifying, if you want to let one person die, let alone the three princes, I am afraid that my father and the emperor may not be able to save their lives under you." Of course, I can't stop you, but I solemnly declare to you that if any member of the royal family of the Griffon Kingdom is killed by you, I swear to the gods that I will immediately commit suicide and apologize!"
