Chapter 5: Failure
As soon as Libister heard the words of the man in black, his heart in his throat was slightly relaxed, he thought that the man in black had some scruples and wanted to laugh, but he pulled the wound on his neck, and in a heart-rending pain, he reluctantly said: "How about it? I'm right, let's make a deal, as long as you don't kill me, how much money you say, even my father can recruit you into the escort team, you know, my father Baron Grimm only has me as an heir, and it is much better to enter my family's escort than you to be a killer." ”
In fact, Libister didn't even think about recruiting the man in black into any escort team, he just wanted the man in black to let him go first, and then he called the family's escort team to arrest the hateful man in black in front of him, and then break the body into thousands of pieces to avenge the sword.
"Trading? Yes, I like to trade the most, you said it yourself, how much money I opened myself." The man in black seemed to be impressed by Libyst's condition, and said with a pleasant face, pacing towards the corner where Libister was.
"Okay! I'm going to ......," the man in black whispered as he walked up to Libest.
"What? How much? You make it clear, I can't hear you, you'd better not open your mouth!" said Libyst, not hearing clearly.
I saw that the man in black completely approached Libist, bent down, and said in Libist's ear: "I don't want much, you have it, and you can afford it, that's your life......."
In an instant, one hand held a short sword that glittered with cold light, and completely sank into Libyst's heart. Just looking at Nalibist's completely stunned eyes, looking at the short sword that ended his life in disbelief, and finally shouted hoarsely: "No matter...... Whoever you are, my father...... I won't let you go...... Uh......".
The man in black drew his short sword, looked coldly at the dead Libister, and said sarcastically: "Even if your father wants to kill me, you must know who I am, you brainless fat pig, you don't open your mind before you die, I'm so strange, with the sophistication and ruthlessness of your father, Baron Green, how could you give birth to a son who is as stupid as a pig?"
With that, he turned around and looked around. I saw the woman who was forcibly swept over by Libyst, looking at what happened in a very short period of time, her chaotic head was only fear, she didn't know what the man in black who killed Libist wanted to do next. I could only shrink myself into a ball as much as possible, praying for God's mercy to let the man in black in front of him let him go.
The man in black looked at the woman in front of him and sighed: "You also saw it, do you have any last words?"
The woman's face was bloodless, and she said desperately: "Let me go, I will never tell me about tonight's events, I don't know anything, don't kill me, okay?"
The man in black was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know? Even if I don't kill you, but the imperial law is that all nobles who kill nobles will be beheaded, and when you see nobles killed and do not stop the perpetrators, all the whole family will be beheaded, do you think you still have a way to live?"
The law that the man in black said was the law formulated by Ottawa Lyon the Great to protect the interests of the nobles, as long as the perpetrator of the murder of the nobles was killed, all the immediate family members were to be beheaded. In the same way, as long as the perpetrator is at the scene and does not prevent the perpetrator from killing the nobleman, he will be convicted of the same crime as the perpetrator, and the whole family will be beheaded. This law shows how dedicated the empire was to the protection of the aristocracy, because all the privileges of the empire, including the emperor's majesty, were nobles, and the laws enacted were not to protect themselves, but also to protect the commoners or other classes.
The woman cried in despair, she knew very well that what the man in black said was not wrong at all, even if the man in black let him go, Baron Green would not let go of himself and his whole family, but in the face of death, not everyone was so calm.
"If you have any last words, I can help you and help you, in exchange for your life. The man in black said coldly, to be honest, he didn't want to let her go, but it was possible to trace the clues from this woman's mouth, and when the time came, mercy would harm him. The man in black also thought about taking this woman away, but this woman was forcibly plundered by Libyst, but many people in the town saw it, and when the time came, as long as the empire wanted to find this woman, he was likely to find it, and the result would be the same at that time. For the sake of protecting his identity, it is impossible for the man in black to let go of the woman, and this qiē can only say that this woman is unlucky.
After sobbing for a long time, the woman calmed down and said resolutely: "My name is Tina, and I am the daughter of Said, the tax collector of this town, I think what you just said can be fulfilled?"
The man in black nodded and said, "As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do it, and I don't have to lie to a person who is about to die." ”
"Okay, then I want you to kill all the Green family, whether it is men, women, old or young, as long as the surname Green is all dead. Tina gritted her teeth and said, "And then there is my old father, you have to give him a large sum of money so that he can live out his old age in peace." ”
The man in black thought for a moment and said: "The Green family will kill me even if you don't say it, their family is a threat to me, and the money given to your father can only be paid by me, and I won't give it if it exceeds my ability." ”
"Thank you! Come on!" Tina closed her eyes, ready to die.
"Alas, I will, goodbye, and I wish you the best of your life in heaven, if anything......". The cold light flashed, and Tina was in a pool of blood, with no pain in her eyes, only relief.
The man in black jumped out of Libest's room, made his way, and drifted towards the second-floor room in the middle of the main house, which was the room of Baron Hayes Green, who was now the head of the Green family. At this time, Hayes Green's room was dark, and he must have fallen asleep.
The gates of Hayes Green's delicately carved windows were moving little by little, silently. After a while, the window gate made of pear wood was removed, and the window was gently pushed open.
In addition to the large bed in the center covered with purple curtains and gold-inlaid silver bedposts, the walls on both sides of the room were covered with all kinds of specimens - bears, deer, wolves and other animals, the coals in the fireplace still had residual warmth, luxurious tables and chairs and all kinds of decorations, all of which showed the wealth of the owner of the room, and the most eye-catching thing for the man in black was a crystal ball hanging in the middle of the room, which was crystal clear, pure and immaculate, and with the diameter of this crystal ball the size of a human head, it was obviously worth a lot.
"It's so rich. The man in black muttered, but the purpose of his trip had nothing to do with the crystal ball, he just looked at it, and then rushed towards the figure on the bed, the cold light in his hand flashed, and the blade stabbed straight through like lightning.
The sound of "bang", the short sword pierced the purple curtain, and instead of breaking the curtain like a bamboo, it had a feeling that it was nowhere to be thorned on the cotton. The man in black was taken aback and tried to retract his dagger, but the curtain bounced off and threw it against the wall.
"Bang" The whole wall shook, which showed the strength of the rebound, and the man in black couldn't catch it off guard, and his whole body hurt when he was shocked, and he couldn't help but moan. The sound of hitting the wall sounded like a giant bell in the silence of the night, waking up the Green family.
Hayes Green turned over alertly, grabbed the sword at the head of the bed, and shouted, "Who is it? Someone's coming!"
Because at this time there was no light in the room at all, and the man in black was completely black, blending into the darkness, and Hayes Green had just woken up, and his sleepy eyes were hazy, and he couldn't see clearly, but according to years of experience, there were other people in the room. The purple curtain on his large bed was a magical item that could withstand some normal physical attacks. In the Sunderland Empire, the number of mages is very small, and there are more arcanists who use some magical items to cast spells. Of course, magic items can only be made by magicians, and those made by arcane masters can only be called arcane items, and it is precisely because of the scarcity of magicians that wizards are also scarce that Hayes Green can have a magic item to protect, which shows that he is not a simple character.
Slightly paralyzed, but the strong physique of the man in black quickly recovered, and he quickly turned up, without a sound, the short sword in his hand flashed with cold light, mixed with the hiss of breaking wind, and looked at Hayes fiercely.
In the "Ding Ding" room, there was a symphony of gold and iron, and Baron Hayes tried his best to resist the stormy attack of the man in black, and from the tremor in his hand, he felt that the man in black on the other side was at least at the level of a fourth-level warrior. Fourth-level warriors are nothing in the Sunderland Empire, their own subordinates are fourth-level, fifth-level ones are grabbing a handful, but it is very sad that Hayes's own strength is only at the level of third-level warriors, after all, a baron does not need to charge into battle, if there is no foreign aid, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will die under the sword of the man in black.
It was not a way to go on like this, but fortunately, there was a commotion from outside the house, and it was supposed that the guards in his own house had noticed that an assassin had come in and was organizing people, and after a while, they could come over.
Thinking of this, Baron Hayes perked up, struggled to block with the sword in his hand, and counterattacked a few times, although he was at a disadvantage, it was no problem to support until the escort arrived.
And the man in black secretly complained, he didn't expect Baron Hayes to hide such a magic item, so that his perfect assassination was completely wasted, and now the guards of the Green family are about to arrive, and with his strength as a fourth-level warrior, it can be said that he can hit a stone with an egg. At that moment, he took out a round ball in his hand and threw it to the ground, and a thick smoke filled the entire room, and the pungent stench made people sick.
When Baron Hayes heard this, he reacted quickly, quickly retreated towards the corner, grabbed the tea table and stood up, in front of him, and shrank his whole body behind the tea table.
The man in black wanted to assassinate Hayes by using the smoke to obstruct him, but he didn't expect him to react so quickly, not giving himself a chance, and secretly scolded: "Old fox". Listening to the sound outside getting closer and closer, he could only give up the idea of killing Hayes. He picked up a chair in his hand and threw it towards the window to the north, while he walked out of the window on the other side, which was also the window from which he came. There was a "bang" and the window opened, and the guards who had approached the bedroom saw it, thinking that the assassin had run out of the broken window, and chased after them one by one.
In the midst of the commotion, the man in black climbed over the wall and fled in the direction of the Dromkale Mountains, disappearing into the mountains.
Baron Hayes condensed behind the tea table, not daring to speak, afraid that the man in black was still inside, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate him. After a while, after the smoke cleared, he found that the man in black had disappeared without a trace, so he relaxed his breath and hurriedly called the guards over, and ordered the guards to search the whereabouts of the man in black layer by layer with the main house as the center.
After a night of tossing, the guards reported in frustration and searched the entire town of Dauphin, except for a few nobles' castles that could not be entered, there was no trace of the men in black, and to the anger of Hayes, Libist died, apparently killed by the men in black. Hayes roared loudly, Libist was his last son, he had three sons, one died at an early age, and the other died in the border war with Andrew's Empire, leaving only this youngest Libest, who could inherit his inheritance. Now that Libyst's death is tantamount to cutting off the bloodline of the Green family, how not to make him furious.
After venting, Hayes calmed down and issued several orders in succession. First, monitor the other nobles in the town to see if any strangers have appeared recently, and second, offer a reward of five thousand gold coins to capture the man in black, or be able to provide the exact clue of the man in black. Third, thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of all those who have a grudge against the Green family, especially Libyste.
