The mask that Han Fei held in his hand was refined from the soft wings of the seven-star beetle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The seven-star beetle is a second-order insect spirit beast, with a layer of extremely flexible flying wings under its sleek and hard shell, and the mask made of it is light and breathable, not afraid of water and fire, and does not have any discomfort on the face, and will not fall off the face because of excessive movements.

A custom-made soft-wing mask costs more than 200 gold coins, and many nobles will have several different types to use at masquerade.

The assassin was obviously not a nobleman, and under the mask was the face of a young woman, with sharp edges and pale corners, and if it weren't for a long, old scar on the left side of his face, he could barely be considered a beauty.

Han Fei took a glass of water from the desk and splashed it on her face, stimulated by the cold water, the female assassin groaned slightly, and finally woke up from her coma.

As a well-trained assassin, she immediately understood what was going on as soon as she opened her eyes, her dark eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she immediately rose up like an enraged female leopard, opening her arms and swooping towards Han Fei, her sharp nails slashing at Han Fei's throat!

It was just as soon as she moved when Han Fei's fist slammed into her soft abdomen, slamming her down on the floor covered with thick carpet.

Boom!

The fierce female Assassin relived the pain of her recent past, curled up, her throat gurgling but unable to vomit.

If it was just the pain of **, she was shocked to find that her fighting strength had been completely sealed, and all the weapons and tools she was carrying had been searched.

"Don't waste your efforts, your fate is now in my hands!" Han Fei said lightly.

Sitting back on the stool in front of his desk, Han Fei looked with interest at the bits and pieces on the table, daggers, wires, strings, steel hooks, medicine bottles... All of them were carefully searched by him from the female assassin, and there were three daggers of different styles alone, emitting a faint blue glow under the light of the spirit crystal, and the dagger blades were obviously smeared with poison.

"Hehe..."The female assassin laughed as the pain eased slightly, her bloodless face full of sarcasm, "Do you think you can really control me? Do you think you can get what you want from my mouth? I'm so sorry..."

Her face twitched suddenly, and her eyes showed determination, but then she froze.

"I think, you must be thinking, where did this thing go?" Han Fei smiled slightly, picked up a white tooth from the desk and put it in his palm, "I'm also sorry, because I won't see the second Shadow Church commit suicide in front of me." ”

The white tooth was taken from the female assassin's mouth, and when placed in front of the light, it was clear that there was a poison sac hidden inside.

Han Fei had seen some of this kind of dead man method in his previous life, pulling out a big tooth and hollowing it out in the middle and filling it with a special poison sac, and he could commit suicide as long as he bit it when he was captured, and people who didn't understand the trick were almost defenseless.

"You kill me, you won't get anything from my mouth, even if you torture me..."

"Torture?hehe..."Han Fei said with a smile: "This method is too low-level, in fact, I have more options, such as searching and refining your divine soul, although this will make you an idiot, but I can get some things, right?"

The female assassin's face changed suddenly.

Torture the divine soul is an extremely special method of torture and confession, which only some high-level powerhouses have the ability to perform, and the pain suffered by the tortured is unimaginable.

The muscles on her face twitched violently, the twisted scar looked like a long centipede, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a little fear.

Han Fei stared at her expression coldly, and suddenly said, "It seems that you have been tortured by the Shadow Church a lot, and the prohibition they have set in your Divine Soul should be quite powerful..."

"How do you know..."The female assassin Huo Ran looked up, looking shocked.

Han Fei smiled and said, "It's just a little trick, I've already broken your Divine Soul Ban, so it's impossible for the Shadow Church to use this to control you anymore." ”

The Shadow Church has existed on the continent for a very long time, dating back to ancient times, and this kind of church that worships dark worship of demon gods has many evil means to control the cultists, and the Divine Soul Prohibition is one of the very powerful and effective ones.

And at this point, it was the Night Martial Emperor who reminded Han Fei, and taught Han Fei the trick of lifting the ban, and Han Fei also learned and used it on the other party.

The female assassin was stunned again, she slowly closed her eyes, and waited for a moment before opening them again, a line of crystal tears streaming down her cheeks, the joy of being freed from a desperate situation.

"Why?" the female assassin wiped away her tears, looked directly at Han Fei and asked, "I'm just a small person, I don't know much, and I'm here to kill you, why are you helping me?"

Although her hostility towards Han Fei had been eliminated a lot, her face was full of suspicion, obviously not believing that Han Fei had come to her aid out of kindness.

"Why?" Han Fei smiled dumbly, "Didn't I just say it, your future fate will be in my hands, and you don't understand how to change from an assassin of the Shadow Church to a Tulip Lord?"

There is light and there is darkness, even those famous and wealthy nobles, there are always some unsightly things that need to be solved by special people, it is not a secret that the family has assassin killers, these assassin killers can also be used against the enemy sent by the same.

Han Fei had just taken over the Tulip Collar, and it could be said that there was a shortage of talents at hand, and he and the Shadow Church had become mortal enemies again, and if this female assassin could be used by him, it would be far more valuable than killing him with a single sword.

What's more, she only knocked Xiao Duo unconscious instead of killing her in the kitchen of the villa, which means that she has not completely destroyed her surname, so there is naturally a possibility of winning her over, otherwise Han Fei will directly ask and kill her.

The female assassin fell silent without answering, and it was clear that she was hesitating.

"You don't have to answer in a hurry, I'll give you time to think about it..."Han Fei said lightly, "It's just that my patience is limited, so you'd better make your choice early." ”

As he spoke, Han Fei stretched out the index finger of his right hand and slashed it on the mask, instantly splitting the mask that was difficult to cut with a sharp blade into two halves, and he threw half of it to the other party: "Put it on, you live with me for the past two days, I will let Xiao Duo arrange it for you with clothes and utensils, and your new identity is the housekeeping manager of Tulip Collar for the time being." ”

"Also, in the news to the outside world, you are dead. ”

The female assassin silently took the mask and put it on her face to cover the ugly scar, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Alright, you can go out first!" Han Fei commanded.

He pressed the brass bell on the table, and a moment later the door to the study was gently pushed open, and Xiao Duo, who had changed into a shirt, appeared at the door, looking at the female assassin with some curiosity.

Han Fei was not worried that the other party would escape from the Lord's Mansion, because she had lost her strength and had no protection of herself, the first one who would not let her go was the former master Shadow Church, and if she wanted to survive, she could only follow the path that Han Fei had chosen for her.

Han Fei knew this, and the female assassin understood it even more.

"Wait..."

When the female assassin walked to the door, Han Fei suddenly stopped her, rubbed his brows and asked, "I don't know what your name is?"

The female assassin turned around and smiled: "I don't have a name, they all call me Purple Poppy, you can call me Lan Mei..."

She smiled a little desolately, the sorrow of the subordinates was nothing more than this, and it was a great luck to be able to fall into the hands of Han Fei.

Purple poppy, that is a beautiful flower that grows deep in the forest and contains poison! Han Fei nodded.

......... The next day, the atmosphere in Rainbow Town was unusual.

The assassination that took place last night caused quite a stir in Rainbow Town, and the townspeople who did not know the truth talked about it, and all kinds of gossip spread. And the servants and maids of the lord's mansion, after receiving a heavy reward, all wisely closed their mouths, and unanimously said to the outside that it was only the lord's mansion that was robbed.

The garrison stationed at the vanguard post also sent people to inquire, of course they got the truth after some concealment, and in the evening, Baron Charlotte hurried to the lord's mansion and reported a situation to Han Fei, a lot of mercenaries and adventurers suddenly appeared in the town today, and most of them were not low-level.

Han Fei couldn't help but be a little strange, Rainbow Town was a must to enter and exit the avant-garde outpost, wasn't it normal for a mercenary adventurer to appear?

In response to Han Fei's doubts, Baron Charlotte explained, "They are going to Tulip Castle!"

"Tulip Castle?" Han Fei was even more surprised: "Could it be that these people don't want to die?

Even if you want to venture to Tulip Castle, you can't suddenly see a lot of people, and Tulip Castle has not had adventurers in or out for almost ten years, so it must be unusual for such a situation to occur.

"My lord, did you save a few young people from the Holy Martial Academy in Tulip Castle a few days ago?" asked Baron Charlotte.

"That's right, there's such a thing..."Han Fei nodded and said, faintly understanding in his heart.

"That's right!" Baron Charlotte smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, these mercenary adventurers can be regarded as attracted by you!"
