Taugo's hysterical rooster-like screams seemed to have worked—the next moment, the Assassin suddenly let go of the palm that was holding his throat, and before he could breathe his breath, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his temple, and his whole body fell straight down as if he had been electrocuted.

A punch knocked Tao Ge to the ground, and the assassin crouched down at almost the same moment, and a crossbow arrow grazed the top of his head and shot into the wall behind him, but not even a single figure could be seen, and just as the assassin was about to stand up, another ghost figure that had been following Tao Ge had already appeared behind.

"What are you looking for......

Suddenly turned around, but saw only the arrow stuck in the wall, where is the shadow of someone? It was as if his short knife had fallen by itself, and he couldn't even see how it had been knocked down.

Where, where, exactly?! Still not knowing who the enemy was, the Assassin, who had seemed to be very calm, panicked. But he quickly thought of another thing, and without hesitation, he grabbed Brother Tao who was lying on the ground and blocked him in front of him: "Come out quickly, otherwise I will kill your friend!"

"Then I'll do what you want......"

A sneering Ludwig appeared behind the Assassin as if strolling leisurely. The cold wind swept by, and the Hidden Blade in his left arm blocked the stabbing blade, and his right hand, clenched into a fist, struck the assassin in the lower abdomen.

There was a spasm all over his body, and the assassin who bent down felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his thin body felt as if he had been hit by a stone cannon. It fell heavily to the ground. Trembling, it seems that he wants to get up. The reflection in his frightened eyes was Ludwig's right foot, which had been raised, and fell mercilessly as if it were crushing a worm......

"Don't play dead - if you're not going to actually die here. ”

At the mouth of the empty alley, Ludwig kicked Brother Tao, who was paralyzed on the ground, and the golden finger who had passed out seemed to suddenly wake up from a nightmare, screamed and hugged Ludwig's thigh, crying profusely: "Glorious Cross, Master Ludwig, you are here!"

"I knew it. I knew you wouldn't be willing to give me up, would you? I've been waiting for this damn assassin to show up, all planned by you. Brother Tao, who escaped death, kept saying: "But please make it clear to me next time - I almost thought I was really dead!"

Seeing him with such a disgusting appearance, Ludwig couldn't help frowning, pulled out his leg without leaving a trace, turned around and walked towards the assassin who had just been knocked unconscious by himself, and Brother Tao, who was still crying there, quickly climbed a few steps in a row, followed behind his heels, and showed a little frightened expression on his face, looking at the guy on the ground.

The Assassin was not very old and relatively thin, but it was evident that he was very well trained, even though Tao Ge was only a golden finger. But it wasn't easy to catch him, especially when he almost found himself. Ludwig's eyes narrowed into slits, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

If it was to kill this assassin, Ludwig had no doubt - but the other party's reflexes also surprised him a little, if he didn't end up stupid, thinking that he would take Tao Ge's life seriously, it would be extremely difficult to capture such a responsive and unusual assassin alive, and Ludwig didn't even have absolute confidence.

Ludwig is extremely proud of his stealth skills, and this time he almost missed, which is enough to prove that the other party is not an ordinary mercenary, or a killer who can be found in the taverns in the streets and alleys. People with such abilities will not be willing to do things just for money.

Tearing the mask off the Assassin's face, a thin, childish face caught Ludwig's eyes, causing him to raise an eyebrow slightly. Brother Tao beside him had already shouted out in surprise: "She, she's a woman?!"

The person who almost killed herself, it's actually a little girl?!

"We should be able to get a lot of information out of her...... I hope so. Ludwig patted Tao Ge on the shoulder: "You have found a very useful piece of information, which may explain why no one has been able to catch these people in the first place." ”

"Then what should we do next?" Brother Tao swallowed with some fear: "Do you want to continue to follow them into the sewer to see where they are hiding?"

"No, it's too late. And once the other party notices that someone has not returned, they will definitely understand that something has happened here. Ludwig shook his head: "Take her back - what was dug up today is enough, it should be gradual." ”

Even if he did find the lair of the Assassins, he could move his stronghold at any time, leaving at most some clues that could not be traced, and like Edward, Ludwig was just as averse to useless work, especially the meaningless kind.

On the contrary, there must have been a lot of secrets in this assassin, especially those that Lord Edward wanted to know most - where they came from, why they assassinated the Duke of Berion, who instructed them, and those behind the scenes who financed them, all of them.

"Then where are we going to send her back?" Looking at the unconscious little girl, although he was almost killed, Brother Tao still couldn't bear to ask, "Are you going to send her back to Lord Edward's mansion?"

"That would cause a lot of trouble for adults - like how to explain it to Miss Allen, and ...... The possibility of being known to a certain duke. Ludwig shook his head: "To send to a more secluded place, and then to drain everything she knows—it takes an expert who is extremely good at torture." ”

At this point, Ludwig slowly turned around and a smile appeared on his face: "What do you say, Venerable Chief Marco Tasker?"

"The mark you left behind is so hard to find, I almost got lost. The silver-haired wizard came over with a grumbling and squinted at him with wary eyes, "It's surprising - I thought you'd tell this information to Lord Edward in private, so that you can show that you are worth more than the entire Blood Flag Brotherhood!"

"A hundred Ludwig are no match for a Blood Banner Brotherhood led by Marco Tasker, and I'm talking about genuine praise. Ludwig smiled modestly and made way for Mark: "You are worth more than I can ever compare." ”

As for what Mark said about "getting lost", Ludwig didn't even mention it - only a real fool would believe that Marco Tasker didn't know the whole city of Turin, and that every street in the whole city, every slum, and even in every shantytown there lived a few beggars and drunkards, and the silver-haired wizard knew it all clearly.

No matter how valuable an assassin is, it can't compare to the benefits of an all-pervasive intelligence master, Ludwig knows exactly where he is, and if he wants to live long, he has to put himself right.

"Then in return, how about I tell you a piece of information?" Marco looked at the former "subordinate" with a relaxed posture and said very happily: "The things stolen by the Wizards' Guild have been found - in the hands of an unlucky material merchant in King's Port, that guy also seems to be in the smuggling business. ”

"Although it is still unclear who organized this theft, we have found out the whereabouts of the buyer, and it is a powerful person we are very familiar with - Berrion Marchelus, Duke of Hantu City and Minister of the Seal!"

"That's really interesting...... Ludwig's face showed a bit of a sinister smile: "It seems that either the Duke is shouting to catch the thief, of course, this possibility is very low, after all, he really almost died that night, and people of such a position will not joke with their lives, or ......"

"There are also ghosts in his mansion, and his status is not low. The silver-haired wizard asserted, but seemed to involuntarily get excited, "It's getting more and more complicated, Radiant Cross bless, it's so exciting!" (to be continued......)
