Chapter 307: The Fifth Seat of the Night's Watch. Executioner Sheila
The figure only flashed in the night for a moment, and then quickly disappeared into the distance.
But it was that moment of peeping that gave An Jie an extremely dangerous feeling.
She looked at the direction the figure left, frowned, and said secretly in her heart, "It's so fast, and that kind of hidden ability...... It seems to be a lot more powerful than Yumi."
The current An Jie is the "Heavenly Wrath Priest", and he is much better than ordinary professions in terms of exploration and senses.
And she usually trains with Yumi, and she is very familiar with the assassins' hidden figures and breath techniques.
Even so, the guy who had just flashed suddenly only noticed a little bit of An Jie, and the traces exposed could be completely ignored.
From this point of view, that person's strength should be higher than the current Yumi, and may even be much stronger.
Thinking of this, An Jie couldn't help but mutter, "It's stronger than the current Youmi...... Is there such a person in this Golden Amber City?"
"There must be, but the adult isn't supposed to be a local."
"Wow!"
Maybe An Jie was thinking too much about it just now, and suddenly a sentence floating from behind made her startled.
Turning his head to look, he saw Yumi come out of the tent at some point, and his eyes also looked in the direction where the figure had left.
At this time, the girl's eyes were bright, and she looked like the person who had been asleep a few seconds ago.
Good guy, the speed at which this little ghost gets up is too exaggerated, and it's okay to get up when you talk about it.
Now that Youmi had already gotten up, An Jie also walked over and asked:
"What was that? Is it human?"
"Yes, a very top-notch assassin."
Yumi's answer was also expected by An Jie, after all, this desert country is a country rich in assassins, and it is normal for a few assassins to go out to do business at night.
But after answering, Yumi's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in turn:
"Did you look in her direction when that shadow passed just now?"
"Huh? I saw it."
「....... You shouldn't be looking at it."
"Shouldn't you see it? Why shouldn't you watch it?"
"If you look in her direction, you can detect her presence, which is tantamount to provocation for a top assassin."
"Huh? Do you have this rule in your business? And what if I provoked her?"
"And then there'...... She's back, standing in the palm olive tree behind you."
What! Before Yumi could finish speaking, An Jie's heart suddenly trembled, and she looked at the palm olive treetops behind her as fast as she could.
But what An Jie never dreamed of was that her chin had just been raised.
The figure who had just stood on the top of the palm olive tree and looked down appeared in front of the two of them ghostly.
And the hands that stretched out from the brown cloak common in the desert grabbed An Jie and Youmi's shoulders like lightning, and led the two of them to the sky in the distance.
Fast, too fast, not your average fast.
In the blink of an eye, An Jie only felt a flower in front of her, and the surrounding scene quickly reversed backwards.
And when An Jie came back to her senses, she and Youmi were taken from the open-air park of "Golden Amber City" to the yellow sand outside the city at some point.
It was only now that An Jie could clearly see the woman standing a few meters away, showing her figure in the moonlight.
It was a young woman with a half-veiled face, somewhat dark skin, a brown cloak, and piercing eyes.
The half of her face exposed to the air was not very pretty, nor was it particularly ugly, but gave a sense of nothingness as if she would never be found again if she was thrown into the crowd.
It's a very strange feeling, and it always gives people the illusion that this person really exists.
If it weren't for the fact that this woman was alive
Standing in front of An Jie, he had just dragged them to fly for a long time.
An Jie probably had to wonder if she had seen something strange like a desert ghost, rather than a living person.
This woman ...... Was she the one who flew over there and happened to be seen by me?
What if the top assassin sees my voyeurism as a provocation, meaning she's going to do something to us?
As soon as she thought of fighting against such a top-notch assassin, An Jie immediately put on a posture and was ready to compete with the other party at any time...... Or a duel to the death.
Who knew that before An Jie could add a miracle of amplification to herself, Youmi stopped in front of her, shook her head and said:
"Don't do it, we can't win."
"Hey, you haven't fought yet, don't be angry with others to destroy your own prestige."
"It's not a matter of prestige or ambition, Aunt Sheila is the fifth of the current 'Night's Watch, and her strength is far above us now, so there's no point in fighting her."
Ay? Night watchman? Clause...... The fifth seat?
The moment she heard these words, An Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The fifth seat of the Night's Watch. "Executioner" Sheila, this name is not unheard of before An Jie.
Like Yemir, the Wings of Dawn in the sixth seat, this assassin from the depths of the desert is another living legend, the title of the strongest assassin in a thousand years.
This can be seen from the fact that her seat is even one seat higher than Yemir's, and Sheila's strength is definitely beyond the touch of the current Anjie and Yumi, even among the "demigod level", it can be regarded as the top level.
After understanding who the two met, An Jie's face suddenly became ugly.
Troublesome....... No, it's not a bother, it's *** annoying.
She never dreamed that she couldn't sleep at night and came out and accidentally glanced into the distance.
It just so happened that he bumped into the strongest assassin and was caught red-handed.
And judging from Yumi's name for Shira, the two of them obviously know each other.
In other words, Sheila is fully aware of Yumi's identity as a sealer, and even more aware that Yumi should not appear in this Golden Amber City.
What to do? If what Yumi said is right, then now we can't slip away if we want to, and we can't beat it.
If Sheila asks why the two of us are here, and why we are here, how can we fool the past?
The moment she reacted, An Jie's brain began to work at an unprecedented super speed.
Although An Jie is usually not very good at thinking, it doesn't mean that she can't think.
In fact, An Jie's mind is so delicate that she is not even below Lannasser, and her ability to adapt to changes is even stronger.
Sure enough, just a few seconds after the two of them finished speaking, the "executioner" who had descended in the night sighed and said to Yumi:
"Little Yumi...... I'm glad to see you again after so many years, but I have to ask you to answer the question, how the hell did you get here?"
Originally, the reason why Sheila appeared in this "Golden Amber City" today was mainly because she got information about the activities of the Sixth Reich in this generation, so she rushed back to investigate.
Before Sheila could investigate any useful information, she accidentally bumped into two people who couldn't be here in the park at night.
As a high-ranking night watchman, Sheila naturally knows that the sealers have the "Oath Seal" on their bodies as protection and restraint.
Unless someone touched the seals on their bodies or temporarily suppressed them, it would be impossible for these two to leave the monastery at all.
As far as Sheila knows, there are no more than five people in the world who can handle the "Seal of Oath....... Not even she's capable of it herself.
In other words, the situation where An Jie and Yumi appear here is more than on the surface in Sheila's opinion
Much more dangerous.
Who was helping the two sealers escape, and what was his purpose in doing so?
When they saw the serious look on Shira's face, everyone knew that she had to figure this out tonight, otherwise she would never let the two of them go.
Naturally, Yumi didn't know how to answer Aunt Shira's question, so she had to stand there silently.
An Jie, who was next to her, raised her hand just right, and said to the fifth seat, "Lord Sheila, right, I think it would be better for me to explain this question."
「....... Descendants of Kusa, I have heard of your name, and it seems that you like to break other people's jaws?"
When Sheila talked about her glorious deeds back then, An Jie was not ashamed, but proudly puffed up her chest, and nodded and said that it was this girl and me.
"Okay, I know that this kid is not good at words, and you can express it on your behalf, but remember, don't lie in front of me."
At the last moment of "lying", the single eye that Sheila was exposed to in the air emitted a terrifying light.
It wasn't an exaggerated adjective, but a real glow burst out of her pupils.
And if you look closely, the pupil of Sheila's right eye is completely different from the shape of an ordinary person, and it actually presents a strange triangular shape, instead of a normal person's round pupil.
"The pupil of Horus," Yumi whispered, "Aunt Silla's eyes are said to be able to see the legs of a fly thousands of kilometers away, and can also see people's hearts, so be careful when lying."
「....... Not to pay attention, but not to lie in front of me."
"Yes, Aunt Sheila said not to lie in front of her."
You! Even if Sheila wanted to be serious at such a time, she would inevitably be made to cry and laugh by the innocent Yumi.
But when she looked at Anjie again, she changed back to her ruthless appearance.
It's really a visible discrimination, really...... But it doesn't matter, anyway, let's fool around first.
Although she was a little hairy by that strange eye, An Jie still said calmly:
"The main reason why Yumi and I are here is because we want to participate in the god festival to be held soon."
"Is the god sacrificial martial arts...... It's a good excuse to say in the past."
After all, Yumi is also a native of the desert, and it is normal for him to want to participate in this kind of competition.
But Sheila continued, "But that's not the point, it's how did you two get out?" What about the Seal of Oath?"
"Someone helped us temporarily block this seal so we could leave the monastery."
"I know, so who did it? Why would he do that? What's the purpose behind it?"
"Well, I guess it's for the head chef of the monastery to cook a delicious meal for him." Ha?
As soon as An Jie's words fell, Sheila showed an indescribable strange expression.
For a delicious meal? Just release the Sealers from the monastery?
On second look, it is obvious that this statement is clearly deceiving.
But if you think about it, it seems that fooling people is not so foolish. ap.
After all, isn't it too stupid to fool people with such outrageous reasons? Treating people for fools?
So, Shira had no choice but to cry and laugh and ask, "Honestly, do you think anyone will believe your explanation?"
"I didn't believe it at first." An Jie shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "But after I say that person's name, you will believe it."
"The man's name? Who?"
"Your colleague, the third seat of the Night's Watch, Mr. Green."
When An Jie blurted out the name, Sheila's brow furrowed visibly.
If it's someone else for a meal
Delicious food and doing such outrageous things, Sheila will only think that the person has a problem with his brain.
But if Green did such an outrageous thing, it would feel a lot more normal.
After all, Green himself is the spokesperson of the outrageous, and even if it is outrageous, it is only a very sparse and ordinary stroke in his past glorious experience.
Green...... Does he have the ability to temporarily unlock the "Mark of Oath", and for a delicious meal? The head chef of the monastery? Could it be said?
For a moment, Sheila immediately remembered the intense desire that Green had shown to the young chef at that luncheon a few months earlier.
"The head chef of the monastery you are talking about, could it be ......?"
"Ginger Ember, you must have met him, he was in charge of cooking the luncheon at the Night's Watch headquarters before."
Sure enough, Sheila couldn't help but clench her fists when she heard this, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
Judging from her observations, this little girl doesn't look like she's lying, and the rumored An Jie is a rude woman who is very aggressive, but she can't use her brains if she can do it, and she doesn't look like a person who can lie so well.
The most important thing is that although An Jie's words are outrageous, they are extremely convincing when put on Green's bastard.
After all, Sheila had seen Green salivating over Jiang Ember at the time, and it was normal for him to want to eat and drink even if he found the monastery later.
Of course, what Sheila didn't know was that the Grand Leader had issued a separate restraining order to Green in order to prevent this from happening, and he skipped it at this time.
After listening to An Jie's explanation, Sheila glanced at the two of them again and sighed:
"I'll check with him later on about Green, but either way, you two have to get out of here right away and can't stay in Golden Amber City, understand?"
