26. Assassination

After Ash finished speaking, he took the lead, carrying his weapon, and walked towards the village.

Everywhere I went, I saw corpses.

Bypassing a fence, under a large tree, a man in a black feather was rummaging.

It seems that this is the murderer of the village that Neferi said!

First, a large fireball cleared the way, followed by Ash Lifter's sword.

As if feeling the scorching heat, this unknown enemy swung at the fireball.

A grayish-yellow powder, erupting from beneath the Great Command, enveloped the fireball attack firmly.

And that's not all, the gray-yellow powder meets the fireball, sizzles, and soon all turns into yellow smoke and drifts towards the ashes.

Ash also sensed that the smoke would never be touched.

But with the charge, the body has already come to the front, and there is no way to avoid it, so you can only cover your mouth and nose.

Suddenly, a feeling of dizziness hit my face.

There was still a breath of sanity, and the ashes rolled backwards in embarrassment.

Luckily, Neferi and Melina had already arrived.

The twin axes fed the enemy's attacks, allowing the ashes to escape.

Seeing the enemy's dress, Melina also recognized that it was a perfumer who once lived in the royal city.

For some reason, he began to aid and abuse, and since then he has fallen.

Before she had time to think further and warn Neferi to beware of the perfumer's poisonous gas, Melina took out the Golden Tree Dew and poured it into the mouth of the ashes.

The dettography of the Golden Tree was a healing artifact, and it soon took effect.

Ash gulped down the fresh air, which had never happened before, and was still careless.

It seems that he is also aware of the change in himself, and Ash secretly thinks that he used to be cautious, why is he now a reckless man?

Seeing that the ashes had eased, Melina went up to Neferi with a dagger and went to help Neferi.

Perfumers are enemies who are very difficult to deal with, not only flexible, but also have a lot of despicable means.

All kinds of poisonous gases and poisonous smoke make people unguardable.

Ash stood up, not daring to release the fireball again, so he condensed the [Soul Arrow] to support from a distance.

Fortunately, Neferi was already a fierce man, dancing with a double axe wound with thunder and lightning, and for a while, he pressed the perfumer to fight.

Coupled with Melina, soon the perfumer was powerless to parry and was killed by the [Soul Arrow] shot from the darkness by the ashes.

After killing the perfumer, Neferi let the ashes rest and continue to search the village for the traces of the Omen Hunter.

Ash also advised, find clues, don't be reckless, everyone go together.

After the explanation, Ash took clean water from the well and began to wash away the poisonous powder on his body.

"What kind of profession is this, and why is it so despicable."

"This should be a depraved perfumer."

"Fallen?"

"How?"

Seeing that Melina recognized the enemy, Ash hurriedly asked.

"Perfumers are actually a very holy profession, and most of them live in the royal city."

"And he's not good at fighting, and will only fulfill the duty of healing hybrids and bad omens."

"Later, the perfumer found that there was no way to treat the mixture and bad omen."

"So give hospice care and let them die peacefully."

"This is very similar to the sleeping girl."

"The perfumer's sachet itself will give teammates an ability bonus."

"But some extreme perfumers began to degenerate and turned the sachets into poison pouches."

"Hunt down the bad omen, think that's the right treatment."

After listening to Melina's explanation, Ash couldn't help but sigh, or the ability could not match the will, and after the collapse, he could only fall into the abyss.

Just as everyone was chatting, suddenly a wine jar not far away spoke.

"Lord Fader, can you come over for a moment?"

With curiosity, Ash walked over to the wine jar.

Then I saw the wine jar in front of me, and gradually turned into an old man.

It turned out that this old man was the head of the village.

The village is called Shirokane Village, and it is a gathering place for worshippers of the Shirokane clan.

Speaking of the Platinum Clan, Ash was a little puzzled.

Previously, when I rushed to the Magic Academy, I also met many members of the Platinum Clan on the way.

They have turtle-like heads, ugly faces, and don't seem to have a high IQ, so what is there to worship?

The village chief continued to tell Ash that because the Platinum Clan has a mysterious connection with the sacred tree, Michaela, this village has preserved the runes leading to the sacred tree.

As a result, who would have thought that the leakage of news would lead to a catastrophe.

Now that the village chief is dying, he has turned into a wine jar, and he also wants to pass on the news.

Ash hurriedly asked, "Who is it, so frustrated." ”

The village chief handed half of the sacred tree rune into Ash's hands, and then said a name called "Baier Man".

Finally, before dying, pray for ashes and find the fugitive Platinum son Lotina.

Looking at the half of the rune in his hand, Ash couldn't help but complain; "One more thing, it's really better than one less thing, is this the start of a chain of tasks?"

"Moreover, the appearance of the platinum family makes people unable to look directly, and I don't know how ugly this platinum son Letina will be."

Dig a pit and take the village to peace, and Ash leads Melina along the trail left by Neferi.

Climbing up the cliff, I finally met Neferi in front of a drawbridge.

Neferi motioned for the ashes to move, and the Omen Hunter was not far away.

Looking along the suspension bridge, there was a tall figure.

It's too dark, and I can't see it clearly, I don't know if it's because he's ugly or if he's wearing a mask.

Anyway, the appearance is more hideous.

Two machetes with different shapes, in the hand, are a little difficult to mess with.

Ash made up his mind to lure him over first, and then took the opportunity to cut the drawbridge and let him fall to his death.

Neferi also agreed to this plan, and there was no need to respect this kind of village slaughterer.

Let Melina and Neferi each stand on one side of the drawbridge, and then Ash throws the [Sun Gun].

Alerted, the Omen Hunter immediately ran along the drawbridge.

When the Omen Hunter reached the middle of the drawbridge, Ash waved his hand, and Melina and Neferi cut the rope at the same time.

After a scream, the Omen Hunter ends the life of the sin.

Having eliminated all enemies, Ash also shares information with Neferi, informing the Omen Hunter and Perfumer that they are all minions.

The real mastermind behind the scenes is, Baier Man.

Hearing this name, Neferi was like a lightning strike, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Ash also saw that something was wrong with her, and had to take Neferi with her, returning to the Round Table gathering point.

Through the Platinum Village's Blessing Point, Ash and Neferi return to the Round Table, where Melina says that she is not a true Guide Witch and cannot enter the Round Table.

But as soon as he teleported back, Ash suddenly noticed something unusual, and even if the round table was not lively, it would not be so deserted. Now, there is a sense of decay all around, and the lights are all extinguished.

Shielding Neferi behind him, Ash pulled out his weapon, though the rules of the Round Table did not allow private combat.

But neither can the ashes, not at all.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and Ash turned around to block, and then released a light spell, and it was actually Shane next to Sir Hundred Wisdom who attacked him.

Ash was furious, and Sir Wisdom provoked again and again, really if he was good-tempered?

kicked Shaun away, and then raised the Kalia sword, [Great Kalia] slashed horizontally, and Shane was split in two.

With Shane's death, the Round Table began to return to normal, and the fading people around them were filled with amazement as they looked at the bloody ashes.

Ignoring the surrounding gazes, Ash carried Shane's upper body and came directly to the Baizhi Gate.

He kicked open the door and threw Shane's body inside.

Just as Ash was about to draw his sword against him, Colin stepped in to stop him, so that Ash would be angry and use force at the round table openly, which was not a good thing, and what would Rodrica do if something happened?

Again, let's hear what Sir Wisdom has to say first.

Ash thought about it, and looked at Rodrika, who had already run with the crowd.

I can only endure it first, wait for this rabbit cub to go out, and then settle the general account.

So he asked in a loud voice: "Baizhi, what should I do if your subordinates attack me!" ”

Baizhi walked out from behind his desk, first bowed and apologized, and then said that Shane's actions had nothing to do with him.

If the ashes need compensation, it can be discussed.

Ash snorted coldly, turned his head and left, thinking, "Compensation? I want your life! ”

Things have developed to this point, there is no good show, and the faded onlookers have dispersed.

"Mr. Ash, I can leave the round table if I need to."

Ash still rubbed Rodrica's head: "You just stay here in peace, O'Gray should come back, you are mainly taking care of him now." ”

"As for the problem of Baizhi, when I solve the person who caused the problem, there will naturally be no problem."

With that, Ash led the two big runes to Two-Finger's room.

The two fingers were still the same, but the old woman who explained the fingers told Ash that now the seal of the royal city had indeed been lifted.

The Ashes can meet the Elden Ring, and a new Elden King will be born.

Leaving the two-finger room, giving Rodrica another lecture and letting the blacksmith take care of it, the ashes teleported back to Platinum Village.

As for Neferi, after Ash killed Shane, she didn't pay attention to it anymore, after all, she is Baizhi's adopted daughter, and now she is considered to have returned the favor, so it is not appropriate to contact it again.

Seeing that Ash's face was not right, Melina realized that something was wrong. When Ash mentions what Baizhi did, Melina said.

"This man is a little enchanted."

"How?"

"He is too eager to pursue knowledge and secrets, and he falls into a demonic daze, and if he can't get it, he will rob and kill it."

"This kind of person has no value in life."

"Haha, even you think so, well, that's good."

After some time together, Ash also has some speculation about Melina's origin.

Now that even Melina hates Sir Brook, killing him is for the benefit of the public.

"When he comes out of the round table, I'll let him understand that there are some people who can't be messed with."

Ash said viciously.

After experiencing this episode, Ash took the two Great Runes with him and opened the teleportation blessing of the royal city.

In the blink of an eye, I came to the small Golden Tree Church, which was closest to the royal city.

Sure enough, at the main gate of the royal city, the seal of the two fingers had disappeared.

Ash immediately moved into the royal city to find the fire girl.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he ascended the steps of the royal city, an attack followed.

When the dust cleared, a strange man with twisted horns on his head blocked his way.

"I'm a bad omen, go back."

"Otherwise, your ambition will be buried by me along with this blessing!"
