0055 [Pale Shadow] & [Iron Mountain]
In line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, Levi tortured the soldier who sneakily escaped in the middle of the night to extract a confession.
In the end, it was discovered that this soldier was indeed an inner ghost, an undercover agent who was bribed by the voice of the dead bird to facilitate the assassination.
And it's been a while since Knight Fred left the castle to report to the broker of the Voice of the Dead Bird.
The Assassin then took advantage of the departure of Knight Fred and entered Levi's castle at night to assassinate him.
Of course, what the undercover agent didn't tell the Dead Bird broker was that Levi had already advanced to knighthood, because not long after Levi had become a full-fledged knight, only he and Fred knew, causing the assassin to capsize in the gutter.
But this undercover agent did not know who the main patron of the assassination was.
After all, Death Bird Voice is a professional team, and it does a really good job of keeping customer secrets.
But since the assassin can be invited many times, and even a mid-level knight, this also shows that the mastermind behind it is likely to be no different from what Levi and Fred Knight guessed.
"Duke of Montenegro!"
Levi squinted, his killing intent awe-inspiring, and he thought about countermeasures in his heart.
The Duke of Montenegro was able to invite the Assassin twice, which meant that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
With the strength and status of the Duke of Montenegro, Levi could imagine how difficult his future would be.
Now it was the Duke of Montenegro who did not take action against himself due to the laws on the surface, but after discovering that both assassin attempts had failed.
Levi didn't know what the Duke of Montenegro would do out of the ordinary.
There are only two things that Levi can do now.
One is to give up the territory and lordship, and since then he has wandered the world to avoid the pursuit of the Duke of Montenegro.
The second is to continue to be the lord of this Blackwater Valley, but there will be a headache next.
In the end, Levi decided to take one step at a time, both plans have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to make a decision for the time being.
He will soon be able to advance to the rank of mid-level knight, and now that he has a lot of gold, he can start to expand the military strength of his territory.
With his current strength, unless the Duke of Montenegro personally kills him, it is still no problem to escape.
In the end, Levi sent the undercover agent to meet the loving father of heaven.
"It's still not cautious enough, and the vetting of soldiers will be stricter in the future, Fred." Levi said to Fred.
"I'm sorry, young master, this is my dereliction of duty, such a thing will never happen again." Fred felt extremely guilty and felt very uncomfortable.
As a knight of Young Master Levi, he did not fulfill his obligations and duties to protect the young master, and he is ashamed of the master!
"It's okay, I just need some time, it won't be too long, I'll make these people who want me die regret it!"
"By the way, Fred, don't forget to help me inquire about the Giant Breathing Method and the Mellon family, this matter will be done in secret."
Levi returned to the shelter and continued to practice breathing.
Not to mention being remembered, even if the end of the world comes, don't delay your practice of breathing, and your liver will be finished.
……
Somewhere in the Emerald Kingdom, in an eerie black castle, rows of black crows stood on the roof of the castle, and flocks of black crows hovered in the dusky sky above the castle.
The whole castle exudes an air of death and oppression.
And in the underground cellar of the castle, a noble man with a gloomy face, a pale complexion, and a slender and well-proportioned figure was sipping the fine wine he had treasured for many years.
He picked up a glass of blood Roland wine and went to the balcony on the second floor of the castle, where a red-eyed crow fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder, and the crow's legs were still tied with letters.
The red-eyed crow is a faster and more accurate communication pet than a carrier pigeon, and there are only a few in the organization, and it is mainly used to contact some big customers or henchmen.
He opened the letter, which was not signed, and it read:
"Dear Your Excellency Pale Shadow, I didn't want to write to disturb you, a shadow-level assassin, but the mission I entrusted to your organization some time ago, your organization has not yet replied to me, and from the information I have so far, it seems that the one I want to erase is still alive and well.
If your organization is not capable of accomplishing such a simple task, then I have deep doubts about the professionalism of your organization.
I will give your organization one last chance, and if I can't complete my mission, my cooperation with your organization may also come to an end.
Alas, the legacy of the Rider of a Thousand Faces should not have failed like this......"
Seeing this, the pale nobleman's face was gloomy, he held the stone railing in his right hand, and on the palm of his hand, surging black gas came out from his fingertips, and actually left the body, looking from a distance, it seemed that the nails of his right hand suddenly became longer and became sharp nails like vampires.
The stone railing is deeply imprinted with scratches on it.
A moment later, the pale nobleman wrote with a quill on a blank parchment:
"Send out the gold medal assassin Tie Shan, continue to complete the mission of assassinating Baron Levi, no matter what means, this mission must not be allowed to fail!"
"—————— Pale Shadow"
Then, the red-eyed crow flew off into the distance with the letter.
The pale nobleman's face was ugly, and even now, he could not understand it.
So how did Baron Levi survive two assassinations.
Phantom Knight is a bronze assassin, and defeat is enough.
The Bernard Knights, but the Silver Assassins, they told the Dead Birds, and there were only thirty Silver Assassins, each of whom was precious.
But not only did the Knight Bernard not succeed in the assassination, but he actually died?
It is now unclear whether it was an outside force intervening or if Baron Levi himself had killed Knight Bernard.
If it's the former, he's understandable, and if it's the latter, it's a little hard to believe.
"Six years ago, he was just a coward who lost his armor and sacrificed his land to save his life because he lost his asylum...... Is it enough for such a big change? The Pale Shadow muttered to himself.
As a shadow-level assassin of the Voice of the Dead Bird, one of the Five Shadows.
He himself didn't care about Baron Levi's affairs, and in his opinion, the only thing Baron Levi could remember was that he was the son of the famous Black Snake Knight, but that was all.
However, he must care about the reputation of the organization, maintain the organization's high professional standards and good reputation in the industry, especially since this time they are working with a real big man, a figure who is almost at the top of the pyramid in terms of strength and power.
And the voice of the dead bird is also inseparable from the cooperation with this one, so he must not lose this customer.
Tie Shan is a gold medal assassin who has become famous in the organization over the years, a high-ranking knight who is only thirty years old, he is the illegitimate son of a great nobleman, and he cultivates the family's excellent level breathing method, and it is also possible to advance the great knight in the future, and his overall strength ranks in the top five among the twelve gold medal assassins in the organization.
If Iron Mountain can't complete the task, then the only person in the organization who can complete this assassination may be "Death Five Shadows".
However, as the leader of the organization, every time he goes out to assassinate, the person he kills is at least the level of an earl.
If things get to the point where you let yourself go out and assassinate a hairy boy.
Pale Shadow may need to think carefully about the dissolution of the Voice of the Dead Bird, and everyone should go back to their own homes, what should they do.
They can't afford to disgrace the Rider of Thousand Faces anymore.
