If the assassin missed the direction the first time, then the second time it happened again is definitely not a coincidence, the person who was going to assassinate the other party was not Paul, but Marlowe, who was the chief of the Warcry tribe. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, everyone had already taken precautions, and the barracks was not as chaotic as outside, seeing that the second arrow was fired, Marlowe covered the arrow wound on his arm and dodged sideways, and the arrow grazed Marlowe's breastplate and flew over.

He and Paul glanced up and spotted the Assassin hiding in the crowd, not because their eyes were as sharp as eagles, but because they were too eye-catching in the crowd.

The man was wearing a shabby straw hat that covered most of his face, he was not tall, and he was wearing a shirt made of linen, which looked very old, the blue cloth had been washed and white, and there were many patches on it, and it was winter, and there were not many people who wore such thin clothes.

Although there was chaos around him, and it was difficult for him to even stand firmly, he was still figuring the single-shot crossbow machine in his hand, and he tried to load the crossbow arrows but tried several times because his hands were shaking badly, but he couldn't succeed in trying several times.

"James, get that guy!" Paul yelled in a bit of annoyance.

It is unforgivable that this man should assassinate Marlowe right under his nose.

James rushed into the chaotic crowd with two warriors, and when the man saw that he was discovered, he immediately threw down the weapon in his hand and wanted to escape into the crowd, but he was just an ordinary person, how could he escape so easily in front of the high-level paladin, James was like a lion into the flock, and the crowd fleeing in front of him couldn't stop him at all, and the man was quickly captured by James.

The crowd of demonstrators quickly disappeared without a trace because of this episode, and fired arrows at the gate of the barracks towards the imperial prince, which was a lot of bear's heart and leopard guts, no one dared to continue to stay at the gate of the barracks, in case they were regarded as fellow assassins, it would not be good, everyone just came to the parade and demonstrate, that's all.

There was only one person in the entire assassination operation, and James captured only this person and brought it to Paul.

The Assassin struggled to break free, but was firmly restrained by two soldiers and pressed to his knees with his arms firmly held to his knees, and when he saw that he could not break free, he lowered his head and could not see what was under the straw hat, but his slightly trembling body betrayed everything he had.

"Lift your head up. Paul coldly ordered.

Marlowe's expression, who was being treated on the side, was also not very good-looking, after all, it was impossible for anyone to be assassinated to still be in a good mood.

The assassin still didn't look up, his head down like a stake, motionless.

"Take his hat off!"

The soldiers took off their worn straw hats when they received the order, and these soldiers were also in a bad mood, if the prince was injured just now, they would all be implicated, thinking of this, the two soldiers behind the assassin couldn't help but increase their strength.

"Lift your head up!" Paul commanded again.

The Assassin finally raised his head, only to see that he had curly brown hair, a high nose and green eyes, some prominent cheekbones, and a pale face, and he looked to be in his thirties.

Paul saw this face slightly furrowed, and the other party's physical characteristics were typical of the Nubis of the southern part of the St. George's empire.

"Are you a Nubis?" Paul did not expect the assassin to be from his own empire, and he had thought that the assassin should be from the three neighboring nations. "What's your name, why did you assassinate, and how many other accomplices do you have in Famedos?"

"I have no accomplices, I'm here for revenge. As if there was no hope of escaping, the Assassin finally stopped trembling, stared at Paul with cold eyes, and shouted so that everyone around him could hear him. "I'm going to kill those damned orcs to avenge my father, mother, and brother!"

"Revenge?"

Paul looked up at Marlowe not far away, who looked very bad, but the arrow on his arm had been removed, and the priest was using the Holy Light technique to remove the bruises from his wounds, but when the bruises were forced out, the crowd found that the bruises were dark green.

"That arrow is poisonous?"

The priest nodded at Paul, and then said, "It's like the seven-tailed demon scorpion venom on the Hardam Empire's side." ”

"Can the Light get rid of those poisons?"

"It should be possible to get rid of most of it, and the remaining poison will have to be dissolved with medicine and Chief Marlow himself. The pastor replied.

Paul was relieved that Marlowe was his brother, and if he died in the St. George's Empire, he would be guilty for the rest of his life.

Picked up the small crossbow machine that James brought back and looked at it, and then picked up the crossbow arrow that the assassin had not had time to use, and there was no trace of poison on the tip of the arrow, Paul took the arrow and shook it in front of him at this moment, and asked: "This crossbow machine, this arrow is made by the craftsmen of the Hardam Empire, am I not wrong?"

The Assassin was silent as he looked at what was in Paul's hand, and the latter added, "Both of these are Imperial controlled weapons, and their possession is punishable by ten years of hard labor. Tell me, who gave it to you, and what good did they give you that you would dare to assassinate. ”

"What are they? I don't understand, I'm just here for revenge. The Assassin's gaze flickered.

"Revenge? Well, tell me what your name is, what your parents and brother are called, when, where, and how they died. ”

As the other party was about to speak, Paul warned and added: "You better not play any tricks, I will send someone to investigate, and then your neighbors will come to "visit" you, and if I find out that you are lying, you will be sentenced to a heavy crime." ”

The assassin also knew that this matter was about to be hidden, the workmanship of those two things was too obvious, the weapons in the desert area were all in this wild style, when he first got these two things, he said that this weapon was not suitable, but the other party had no other weapons for him to choose, and in terms of concealment, the single-shot crossbow machine made by the craftsmen of the Mojave Empire was very easy to hide and carry, and finally he decided to use this thing to assassinate.

"Why, are you still not going to tell the truth?" Paul said as he put the arrow into the crossbow machine, and then slowly tightened the bowstring, matching the crunch of the bowstring as it was tightened. "There are a few of these pocket crossbows in the Imperial Palace, but they are much more beautiful than this, and it is rumored that this kind of crossbow can shoot through three cowhides from twenty meters away, but unfortunately I have never found a chance to try it. As for you, if you want to assassinate me today, the crime of assassinating the prince of the empire is enough to sentence me to death, and I can also try to see if this crossbow machine is really as powerful as the legend. James, tie him to a stake. ”

"Yes. With a wave of James' hand, the two soldiers set up the assassin to find the wooden stake.
