Chapter XVI A Safe Capital

In fact, at the beginning, Xavier really didn't think about buying this oil lamp.

But a few words in his head changed his mind.

That's what the system prompts.

[Hint: There are some props that can effectively improve the strength of the host, so you might as well try to get them.] 】

[Current target: Magic Lamp]

That's why he ended up buying the lamp for five crowns.

However, when he got his hands on the magic lamp, he discovered a problem.

He won't need it at all!

At least for now, in this hotel, he rubbed the magic lamp for at least a minute like a fool, and as the man said, he kept chanting 'the lamp god lamp', but in exchange for the side glances of others, wondering if he was some kind of neurosis.

This made him wonder if it was opened in the wrong way.

However, in a blink of an impression, he felt that it might be the reason for passers-by, although there were not many guests in the hotel, there would still be bystanders.

And the god of lights, probably because he is afraid of being discovered by outsiders.

Well, that's not a guess...... Xavier thought to himself, he thought that the lamp god was similar to the kind of death in the Death Note, only he could see it, and no one else could find it, but now it seems that it is not, so it will only be when he arrives at the swordsman guild and finds a place to live alone.

Thinking of this, he put the magic lamp back in his suite, quickly solved the lunch in front of him, and left the restaurant.

After walking out of the restaurant and paying a few euros, Xavier lamented the high price of goods and returned to the central square.

As before, it was still a crowd, Xavier was squeezed by the human wave, and there was only a little room for movement, which made him feel like he was back in his previous life, which was comparable to the flow of people in the Spring Festival!

In desperation, he could only move along the tide while listening to the speech in the middle of the square, which was regarded as a relief from boredom.

On the high platform in the middle, a middle-aged man in a soldier's robe stood, and below him, the 'friends' he had met before, the men in black uniforms, that is, the special forces of the capital.

Of course, Xavier didn't know their positions at this time, and he just sighed, the security guards were really strict.

Maybe it's to prevent assassination, to guard against accidents? But with this kind of security, it's not possible.

In the midst of these thoughts, Xavier heard the general speak.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am the deputy commander of the Third Imperial Legion. ”

"The first Earl of Hayes, William Robert Johnson. ”

Judging from his list of titles, this should be a big shot, and Xavier couldn't help but open his ears to listen and see what he had to say.

"As you have read in the newspapers, it has been some time since the fall of northern Gournia. ”

"Although we have sent many reinforcements, we all know that our compatriots are still being bullied there, their food is being robbed by the barbarians, their money is being plundered by the barbarians, and even their lives are being taken by the barbarians. ”

With these words, he began to describe the tragic situation in the north, which made people feel it together, and spoke excitedly:

"And we, here we are indifferent, watching our compatriots suffer, is it right?"

"Is it acceptable for the Empire to endure such humiliation?"

"Of course not!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but raise his clenched fist high, which led to the atmosphere in the square, which made the place suddenly become excited, and even Xavier was affected a lot by this.

However, as a person who has experienced it firsthand, although he is also affected by the atmosphere, he can't help but start thinking about it and thinking about the meaning behind all this.

As the deputy commander of the Third Army, there must have been some reason why he said such things.

For example, to pressure the Empire to increase its troops, according to what I saw in the village of Reston, it seems that all of them are coming from the Second Legion...... So the Third Army also wanted to participate? That might be a reason.

However, it may just be that they are short of military funds, and they use this as an excuse to ask the empire to distribute more...... Xavier thought to himself again, and then looked at the crowd next to him, listening to their various words.

Accompanied by Xavier's gaze, what he heard was:

"Expelle all the barbarians!"

"Let the glory of the empire be restored!"

"Reinforcement!

Believe me, Xavier shook his head, if you really want to be recruited, you won't want that to be yours......

However, it can be seen that the purpose of this deputy head of the regiment has been achieved, at least he can bring about the atmosphere of the masses within a few words.

That's the power of politicians...... Xavier sighed in his heart, and the masses are often the easiest to persuade.

After all, all you need is righteousness, and an official with two mouths is easy to fool and succeed.

Of course, in fact, Xavier did not object to this deception, after all, he was also a person who advocated increasing troops against the barbarians, and now he was just lamenting this method.

~~~~~~

In the middle of the central square, the speech continued, but Xavier was already moving away.

He's about to get away from the whirlpool here, away from the speech in the middle.

But at this moment, he noticed that a large number of elemental fluctuations were coming from the top of the square.

Then the moment he opened his eyes, he, the thousands of people who were watching, and the special forces who were guarding next to him, saw this scene happening.

A cloaked figure leaped out of the air above the square out of nowhere, rushing downward, his sleeve blade protruding from his sleeve, allowing him to suddenly appear from the sky and smoothly stab the blade at the deputy commander of the Third Legion, who was still speaking.

Immediately after that, the words of the deputy head of the regiment stopped.

This is the end of the speech, which is artificially ended.

At first, everyone didn't react until they saw the blood slowly flowing down from the high platform, and then they realized what was happening in front of them.

"Assassin!"

“Assassino!”

Under the intersection of multiple languages, the crowd who was eating melons next to them suddenly showed shocked expressions.

You know, this series of events only happened in a second or two, that is, they could still hear the speech of the deputy head of the regiment one moment, but in the next moment, they had already seen the figure fall.

Is this still human? It's a demon!

The panic that permeated the middle of the central square made the citizens dare not stay long, and quickly ran and scattered to flee from the terrifying assassin, fearing that the demon would target them.

There were also some people, although they were also shocked by this scene, but they did not flee directly like the masses, they were the special forces in the audience, and launched a siege on the assassins without the slightest hesitation.

But they didn't notice that beneath the cloaked assassin's covered face was a sneering smile.

Looking at the fleeing crowd around him, as well as the cloaked swordsman standing in the middle of the square, Xavier showed a little anger, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.

What was the purpose of this cloaked assassin, why did he assassinate the deputy commander, did he come to create panic, and where did he come from?

At that time, Xavier didn't pay close attention, but in his impression, the cloak swordsman just made something out of nothing and suddenly bounced out of the air, which obviously didn't make sense!

It's just that at this time, it's not the time to think, after all, the cloak swordsman's behavior at the moment is causing panic, although Xavier doesn't know what his purpose is, but he definitely can't let him run away so easily!

There was nothing he could do about the vampire that time, and this time, he couldn't watch a deputy head being killed and do nothing himself!

What's more, the system is a reminder that he has launched a mission!

If you successfully kill the man in the cloak in front of you, you will be rewarded with three skill points!

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate, picked up the crossbow behind his back, and fired a dark arrow at the cloaked assassin standing on the stage.

Under the effect of 'self-aiming', the attack that was originally not too crooked has naturally been corrected, with the toxin attached to the system, and it seems to hit the cloaked assassin directly from behind!

In this way, the second- and third-level skill effects of the 'Poison Strike' line can be attached!

But at the moment when the arrow was about to hit him, suddenly a wind flowed from a distance, blowing away the arrow that should have hit, which seemed to be just a coincidence, after all, it was normal for a sudden wind to blow.

However, Xavier's spiritual power made him perceive that it was actually wind elemental magic! It was the cloaked assassin who summoned the wind elemental from the atmosphere, focused it into an entity, turned into a violent wind and blew the arrows away!

This shows that the cloaked assassin can not only assassinate, but even magic!

Xavier couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he realized this, as the cloaked assassin was clearly aware of his presence.

As he expected, the cloaked assassin on the high platform only glanced at the special forces who were about to attack, and then turned his body and turned in Xavier's direction.

Then in the next second, he actually stepped on the air, followed the strong wind just now, and slid down in front of Xavier.
