Aquatic clouds rise, fluttering and falling, everything is infiltrated, and the dryness gradually disappears.

Even the gloomy night seemed to have become much gentler, and the dripping raindrops licked the roof and the corners of the eaves, making a muffled murmur.

Lonely, yet quiet.

It was already late in the night, the streets were depressed, and the bright lights were gradually extinguished, except for the occasional glimmer of light through the cracks in the doors and windows, either in vain to lure passers-by into the night of pleasure or waiting for the travelers to return.

In the house opposite the west door of the Grand Duke's Palace, Dargnon still did not sleep.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't sleep.

We already know that this Mr. Killer is very picky about his bed, and he will only be able to sleep a little more peacefully if he is absolutely safe and very, very familiar. But now this strange room, of course, is not in the familiar category, not to mention, there is an extremely urgent commission in front of him, waiting for him to complete.

Lying on the overly soft bed, Dargnan tossed and turned for half a night, and finally shook his head helplessly and sat up. The fragrance temporarily sprinkled on the brocade mat was too strong, and some stale undertones were tenaciously mixed in it, which always lingered on the tip of his nose, making him feel uncomfortable all over. After a long period of hard work, Dargnan not only did not develop a half sleepiness, but became more and more conscious.

Patches of bizarre images flashed before his eyes, and in his ears, the sound of sporadic raindrops hitting the windowsill was clearly discernible, and he stepped out of bed, stood in front of the window, and looked out through the gaps in the heavy curtains.

Hey?

Dargnan's eyes narrowed slowly, as if sensing something unusual.

At first glance. It seems that everything is business as usual in the Grand Duke's Palace. The guards standing solemnly at the door were still engrossed, not even a little slack. At intervals in the house, a wind lantern was hung, swaying slightly in the drizzle, a dim halo of light. It rippled through his field of vision, stretching from the doorway into the depths of the mansion.

However, with his keen observation, Dargnan still smelled some signs of abnormality from this seemingly ordinary scene. First of all, as far as the area he could look down on, the number of sentinels patrolling back and forth and the density of their armament were much sparser than mentioned in the intelligence, and even barely half of the usual ones. Could it be that it is because of the arrival of this night rain? Let them have a slack mentality?

No, no, Dargnan shook his head secretly, the more stormy this moment, the more we must strengthen our vigilance, and it is impossible for the other party not to understand this truth.

So, what's so strange about this? He looked at it again, taking a closer look.

from his position. He could vaguely see the courtyard where the Grand Duke's study was located, which was also one of the areas he had marked in advance and needed to pay attention to. According to the information he gathered, Onisha had been spending most of her time here, even eating and drinking. So, if Dargnan tries to infiltrate the Grand Duke's palace to carry out the assassination. The study must be a point that is hard to avoid. Of course, this is also the most heavily guarded heartland, not to mention himself, and it will be very difficult for even a legendary warrior to charge head-on.

But...... What is that?

Dargnan's gaze froze, almost at the end of his sight. It was as if a few people were stepping out of the study. However, at such a distance, even with his vision, it is difficult to see any details, let alone distinguish their identities.

After a moment's hesitation, he quickly turned around and walked to the bed, took out the package he had brought from under the pillow, and took out a black metal cylinder from it, and placed it in front of his right eye. In the faint light, you can see that the two ends of the iron cylinder seem to be inlaid with rounded lenses, which are crystal clear.

A few traces of pale blue magic oozed from his fingertips, and the fine patterns engraved on the metal cylinder were quickly filled, and Dargnan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the blurred vision in the distance was quickly closed.

"Yes...... Onessa?" The scene in front of him gradually became clearer, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Among the group of people who walked out of the study, the leader who walked in the front was wearing a long cloak, although she could not see the specific face for a while, but she had shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and her body was graceful, a head shorter than the knights behind her, and she was obviously a woman. And judging by other people's attitudes towards her and her posture, it should be the goal of her trip, and Annish Grand Duke Onisha is undoubtedly there.

What are they going to do?, Dargnan wondered in his heart.

In the middle of the night, wearing a travel cloak to protect them from the wind and rain, Onessa certainly didn't go back to bed, and judging by the direction they were traveling, it seemed to be coming towards the west door across from his house.

What was the special circumstance that they were leaving the Grand Duke's Palace?

Dargnan frowned and thought for a moment, and his heart began to stir again.

He still welcomes the occurrence of this special event. The target of this commission, after all, is the monarch of a country, although the power has been greatly weakened now, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and she must still have a considerable degree of defense in her hands. If the other party is allowed to stay in the Grand Duke's Mansion, arrange a complete guard network in advance, and then stand still, he will have no choice but to take the initiative to send it to the door. In that case, even with Dargnan's strength, it will face many difficulties.

But now, the opportunity seems to have come, should I act in advance?

He has always been a decisive killer, and after weighing the pros and cons a little, he made a quick decision, and at this time, Onesha and them had only left the study for more than a hundred steps.

Estimating when his target would arrive at the west door, Dargnan quickly crouched down, picking at something from the packages on the floor. These are some practical tools that employers have prepared based on the list he has made, and although not all of them can be used, it is always a good habit to be prepared.

It didn't take long for him to finish his selection, and then he took off the brocade shirt he used to disguise, revealing a pure black night coat inside. This kind of clothing, which is almost standard equipment for killers, uses a special fabric, which is very tough and will not affect any movement, and the unique light absorption can effectively prevent the whereabouts from being exposed.

Thinking about it sideways, Dargnan carefully tied his long hair neatly, then covered it with a black veil, clapped his hands and pushed open the window in front of him.

The top killer from the "Wolf Poison Flower", the "Ice Orchid Blade", is about to start the action. (To be continued......)
