Chapter 15: The Night of the Assassination
Led by Ash, Ben arrives in front of a house in the North District. It doesn't look like a big house, with a small two-story building with a small yard.
Two carriages were parked in front of the house, and when he saw the carriage, Stupid knew that Ash was not taking the wrong way. Stupidly and carefully hid his body under the courtyard wall, listening to the movement inside the wall.
At first, there was some noise, as if the masked people were celebrating because things were going well, and then gradually there was no sound. From time to time, the footsteps of two people could be heard inside the courtyard walls, and it seemed that they were masked men on the night vigil.
Clumsily clenched the light in his hand. The black light is hidden in the dark night, there is no reflection at all, it looks like a black poisonous snake, and wants to choose people to eat.
"You wait for me here, don't run around, wait until I rescue the light snow, and take you home with me. Stupid said to Ash.
Ash nodded. Stupid has some doubts in his heart, I really don't know how my sister taught Xiao Ash, and she can teach this mouse so humanely.
Listening to the footsteps of the night watchman, he climbed the courtyard wall, and then turned over and entered the courtyard. The two masked men were naturally a little dissatisfied with the vigil in this cold night.
"I really don't know why the two of us came to the vigil, today we are no less than others. One of them, a short, ugly-looking man, said.
"Forget it, someone has to do the vigil. After three days, we exchanged to the Heart of the Ocean, and we were developed. I've heard that Master Vought has given us a very good price to get the Heart of the Sea. Listen to the head, after this vote, we can retire. Another man of medium stature and ordinary appearance said.
Although these masked men did not shed their black clothes, they did not mask anymore because they had reached their stronghold.
"It's time for us to retire, we've been busy in danger for half our lives, and we really want to live an easy, comfortable life. Marry a wife and have a few children. Raise horses ............ land," said the diminutive man.
"I didn't expect you to have such a calm side. I thought you'd spend a lot of money on it. The medium-sized man said.
"Actually, I wanted to retire for a long time, but I didn't have any opportunities and didn't earn enough money to retire. Now that this ticket is over, I can earn enough money for retirement, and I have decided to retire. The short man said, his face yearning for a peaceful life. His ugly face didn't look so ugly anymore, but showed a calm look.
Dumb hid in the bushes and heard their conversation. Although the two night watchmen talked about the topic calmly, the stupid heart was not at all calm. He knew he only had one chance, to kill these two people, and he couldn't make any noise from them, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to save his sister if the others came in an influx.
He had never killed anyone, and he didn't know how to kill anyone, but the light in his hand gave him a lot of courage.
"I'm going to pee. The ordinary-looking man said. As he spoke, he walked over to a bush and prepared to unbutton his pants and release the water.
Holding Yu Ming in his hand, he stood up. When the man saw Ben, there was a look of surprise on his face, and he opened his mouth to shout, but he never had a chance again. At this moment, he felt a chill in his throat, and then a stream of liquid bubbled out, and he could no longer scream.
As soon as his body went limp, he fell, and when he fell, the other ugly-faced man saw stupidity. He also began to panic and drew the matching sword on his body.
That ordinary-looking person's martial arts skills were better than his, and he was killed in one fell swoop, so a panicked feeling surged in his heart. The calm mood just now, and the yearning for a comfortable life in the future are filled with fear.
He suddenly thought of his companions in the room, and he wanted to shout too. However, when he wanted to shout, his throat was also cut by a cold blade, blood gushed out, and he made a "ho, ho" sound in his throat, but he could no longer shout.
Before he lost consciousness, he saw snowflakes drifting around him, and he thought, "It's a sunny day, and the moon is in the sky, how can it snow?"
Stupid killed these two men, and the blood of these two men sprayed his face. It was hot, and the bloody blood sprayed on the stupid face, making him feel a little sick to his stomach. He restrained his psychological disgust and pulled the bodies of the two men into the bushes. wiped a handful of blood from his face, and walked lightly towards the two-story building.
............
Toni is forty years old, and ten years ago, as a Sky Knight, he knew that his knighthood had come to an end, and he would never be promoted to the rank of Knight Captain in this life. Because I didn't have a good foundation in my teenage years, because I didn't have a better teacher, because I didn't have ............
Later, he took a group of unruly brothers who were in a similar situation to him, and started a costless business, leaving the glory of knighthood behind. This time, he took on this mission to go to the neighboring empire to kidnap the princess of the country in exchange for the heart of the sea, and he always felt very uneasy. Not only because this task is very difficult, but also because he feels that he is old, and his heart is already very eager for a comfortable, comfortable, and peaceful life, and he no longer wants to live such a life of licking blood from the knife edge.
Their employer, Master Walter, paid him very well, and he could retire as soon as he completed the vote. The kidnapping of the princess went very smoothly this evening, and the heart that he had been carrying was finally relieved. Three days, just three more days, they will be able to complete the task. Then leave the country and return to your own country.
There, what awaits them is a good reward, a comfortable and peaceful life in the future, and the woman he loves dearly. I'm old, and the woman isn't young anymore. He decided that when he returned to the empire and was paid, he would marry the woman he loved dearly and live a good life.
Sitting in a chair, he lit a cigarette. When he calms down, he always likes to light a cigarette, inhale it into his body, and think. Such moments make him feel calm, feel that he has a bamboo in his chest, and feel that everything is under his control.
He thinks, thinks about every detail, and makes sure that every action he does is perfect and that he can accomplish the task without any mistakes.
After smoking, as usual, he was ready to make rounds to his subordinates and then get ready for bed.
As soon as he pushed open the door to his room and stepped out into the hallway, he felt that something was wrong. It was too quiet, no noise, no sound of those of his subordinates joking, amusing each other, so to speak, no voices.
And at the same time he smelled a strong smell of blood, the smell of blood that can only be emitted by the death of multiple people.
Toni's hand pressed against the sword at his waist. At the same time, there was a hint of panic in his heart that had been calm for many years.
Not surprisingly, he saw the corpses of his men in the other rooms. It's all a sword kill. Two people in the living room, one person in the kitchen, two people on the stairs, and one person in each of the three rooms. The two who thought that they were on duty outside for the night should have already encountered an accident.
Tony became more and more alarmed, for he did not know what had gone wrong with their actions, that their stronghold had been discovered, and he did not know who had caused the result. The fear of the unknown is the most frightening. Could it be that the Lion Empire actually dispatched a Martial Venerable or a Martial Saint? I have never heard that the Lion Empire has such strength.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold touch coming from the back of his head, he quickly lowered his head, and then a sharp blade stabbed against his scalp, and even wiped off several of his hairs.
He quickly drew his sword and turned. Seeing the person in front of him, he was even more surprised. This child, if he remembers correctly, had seen it in the candy store. It's just a teenager who looks very thin, and it seems that the little girl they brought back is his sister.
Could it be that his whims turned out to be the focus of their mission failure?
"Did you kill all my men, and how did you do that?" asked Tony. He stared at the stupid star, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he became. The stupid eyes looked so hollow, as if nothing in the world was in his eyes, and he held a ruler-long, black dagger, or a short sword, in his hand.
Stupid didn't seem to hear what he said at all, and around Stupid, snowflakes fluttered. Tony was even more surprised, he remembered that there was no snow at all, why was there snowflakes floating around this child?
