"Earned, earned......"

Sean muttered to himself, the expression on his face instantly turned into ecstasy, and the original anger was swept away.

Under normal circumstances, apprentice-level professionals would not be able to use the abilities on apprentice-level magic items, so Sean speculated that the assassin must have used a special method to barely allow him to exert a trace of power.

This can be seen from the power, although this is a second-kill level damage for the apprentice level, but in the apprentice level, it is not very strong.

Otherwise, the black flame from before would have been enough to burn the Wall of Bones to ash Sean and the surrounding area.

But now is not the time to think about this, and while discovering the secret of this dagger, Sean suddenly realizes a problem.

The opponent's assassination failed, and the dagger was lost, and those nobles standing behind would definitely not give up, maybe they would send someone to deal with Sean again, and they might even forcibly dispatch the combat power above the rank of apprentice.

To ensure his own safety, he should leave here immediately and take refuge in Scarlett Manor.

As one of the great nobles standing at the apex of Hogg City, Satuk can stand in this position without being assassinated by hostile forces, and he must have the corresponding means around him.

Since Sean has formed an alliance with Satuk, he naturally will not let this force go, after all, the most important part of the agreement reached at that time is that Satuk should protect Sean's safety.

"Look after this place, and if anyone comes, tell them that this is the property of the Scarlett family."

Raising his staff, he glanced solemnly at the maids standing nearby, and Sean commanded them.

"I'm going to report this to Count Satuq, don't act rashly until I return, Estelle, you also wait here for a while, and try to keep yourself safe."

With a solemn expression on his face, Sean wrapped the dagger in a large piece of cloth and carried it with him, and then began to cast spells on himself.

He can't control the lives and deaths of so many ordinary people at the moment, and now that things are so big, those nobles are almost torn apart, and they will definitely not give up easily.

Estelle didn't care about ordinary people, and it was Sean himself who should really be worried, so he was only thinking about getting to Scarlet Manor as soon as possible.

"Apprentice Spell - Leopard Speed"

"Apprentice Spell - Swiftness"

"Apprentice Spell – Cat Grace"

"Apprentice Spell - Light Body"

Four spells in a row were stacked on his body, and Sean immediately felt that his body had become extraordinarily light.

Swiftness and Lightness are spell spells that have the same effect as the other two variation spells, except that they are not continuous spells, but consume some mana in one go, and then provide the recipient with a bonus that lasts for a certain period of time.

These spells with similar effects can stack. Of course, there may be a period of detachment after the end, but Sean can't care about that much now.

With a slight jump, Sean jumped directly onto the walls of the house.

Cat Grace and Lightness are both spells that increase flexibility, can speed up his speed in disguise, and can also provide a higher chance of survival when danger comes, which is one of the essential spells for escape.

Sean's figure streaked through the streets like the wind, and he chose the shortest route, and with the blessing of the spell, no obstacle could stop him.

When the patrolling soldiers saw Sean's status as a professional, they did not come forward to stop him, and soon he came to the gate of Scarlett Manor.

"Lord Sean?"

The two guards at the door watched in amazement as Sean raced all the way over, intending to help open the door.

After Sean formed an alliance with Satuk, they also got to know Sean's face, although they didn't know why this professional was in such a hurry, but because it was their own people, they had no intention of keeping Sean outside.

"You continue to guard the door, I have a bit of a hurry to find Count Satuk."

After throwing off a sentence, under the dull gaze of the two people, Sean jumped directly over the 3-meter-high gate, and the mage robe on his body was hunted by the oncoming wind.

"This, I remember this lord, is a mage?"

One of the guards looked at Sean's back and asked his companion with some hesitation.

"Hmm...... It's a mage, yes, it seems to be an alchemy? ”

The expression of the other guard was even more strange, and Sean's behavior completely broke their stereotype of mage, and the two of them did not even relax for a while.

After entering the manor, Sean went straight to Satuq's study, he knew that this guy usually didn't run around at will, and now he was probably hiding in the manor to deal with chores.

……

"Stop."

A chill instantly permeated Sean's body, and the murderous aura that came from nowhere made his running figure pause suddenly.

An indifferent voice came from behind him, and he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and when he looked back, a man dressed in black actually appeared behind him without knowing when.

His heart slowed down for a moment, and the staff in his hand lit up, almost throwing a spell in the man's face.

Thankfully, Sean restrained himself.

Although the person in front of him is also an assassin and is dressed in black, in terms of strength, he is much stronger than the person who attacked Sean before, at least in terms of the sense of oppression at the soul level, he at least has the level of apprenticeship.

What's more, this is still Scarlet Manor, even if that guy is rampant, he doesn't dare to come here to assassinate him, otherwise it will directly be tantamount to declaring war on the Scarlet family.

"Are you ......?"

Sean turned, bowed his head in respect, and then asked with some hesitation.

"This is my uncle, the patron saint of the Scarlett family, and the esteemed Apprentice Assassin, Evan Scarlett."

Satuk's voice came from behind Sean, and he walked up to Sean's side, and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette on Evan, then looked at Sean with a puzzled expression.

"Sean, did something happen when you ran in so quickly?"

Count Satuk's voice was still steady.

He knew that someone like Sean would not visit him for no reason, let alone break into this place so suddenly, there must have been something unexpected that made Sean temporarily lose his calm.

"Satuk, look at this."

Sean lifted the two transformation spells on his body, then took out a cloth bag and tore it apart directly with mana.

A pure black dagger with gems at the bottom and center of the grip appeared in front of the trio, a dagger that Sean had obtained after repelling the assassin, and which appeared to be a probationary-level magic item.
