Chapter 1011 - I want to retire
"Old butler. ”
"Coming? I thought you weren't going to come before the operation was over. ”
"Hehe, I'm ...... Hehe......"
......
To be honest, with Tang En's growing strength experience, with his current realm and assassination skills, the killer system can help him less and less, this is a fact. However, this is not the main reason why Don has not entered the killer system for a long time, he just doesn't want to see it, and he is even afraid to see the old butler......
From the moment he learned of Shavien's capture, Don knew he had to come to his rescue. But at the same time, Don is also very clear about one thing, that is, from the perspective of a killer, he should not come on this trip, let alone choose to assassinate the Pope.
Do what you can!
It's true that a killer is a profession that can single-handedly create miracles, but that doesn't mean you can take risks at will. And the assassination of the Pope, no matter from which point of view, clearly has a strong smell of death......
The old butler wouldn't agree to the action, so Don didn't want to come to see him. But after encountering problems now, Tang En had to come in and use the system's powerful analytical capabilities to synthesize various intelligence materials to overturn and rerehearse the assassination plan. In this way, it is natural that I have to see the old butler again......
In the system space, looking at the old butler who didn't turn his eyes on the books in front of him, Tang En subconsciously rubbed his palms, smiled innocently, and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start for a while, so he had to be so embarrassed.
Fortunately, the old housekeeper did not deliberately mean to leave difficulties, after reading the page in front of him, he folded it and made a mark. He closed the book and got up and looked calm: "You want to retire." ”
Declarative tone. Not a doubt. Hearing this, Tang En's body instantly shook. After a pause, he raised his head and looked at the old butler with a somewhat complicated expression: "You can see it?"
That's right, Don does want to retire. Although it has only been a few years before and after coming to the other world, in the past few years, I have been subjective, objective, active and passive, chasing and killing those who have been hunted down, killing many people, and seeing many people around me being killed...... Don had an extremely exciting and exciting life, and he was also extremely tired!
The idea of retiring was not a whim, in fact, when he fled back to Bran from the Northern Wilderness tribe last year. Don was vaguely there. It's just that at that time, I immediately knew that I was wanted by the whole continent, Luosha died with the city, the gray army was completely surrounded and suppressed, and Josia was in danger...... Don had to forcibly suppress the idea of retirement, pick up the knife again, and kill him in a bloody storm.
However, now it is different, the Gray Army and the Northern Wilderness tribe are divided into two vast northern, with their own territory, Josia has also become the leader, and all of them have begun to stabilize dìng. If nothing else, the next situation on the mainland will be three-legged. Even if there is a war, it has nothing to do with Josia and the Gray Army in a short time.
At this time, Don felt that he could retire after completing his work. The idea of retirement is once again strongly in my heart. It's just that he hasn't talked to anyone, and he wants to leave quietly and quietly. But I never thought that I would be broken by the old butler now......
Taking a breath, Don touched his nose and nodded in confirmation: "This is my last assassination, if it can be successful, I will retire." ”
The old butler frowned slightly: "I seem to have told you that the killer should never say, 'This is the last time'." This is a taboo among taboos, and whoever says this will almost always miss the last mission. ”
"Uh...... Well, then I'll say it again. Kill the Pope, and I'll stop. Stunned for a moment, Don spread his hands. The old butler nodded noncommittally when he heard this, and suddenly changed his words and asked, "How many system medals do you have now?"
"Four...... Four of them. "Don has a good memory, and as soon as his mind turned, he thought of the blasphemer, the thousand beheaders, the deceitful, and the big-name butchers, don't they add up to four.
"Well, you have a long-term mission for Bright Dusk. If you can kill the Pope, you should also get a medal title......" The old butler groaned and nodded, "If you think about it this way, you have chosen a good time to retire." ”
"Huh, what do you mean?" Don was confused, but the old butler was not interested in explaining this time, and changed his words again, "Don't you want to assassinate the Pope and want to retire? ”
Tang En blinked, hesitantly looked at the indifferent old butler: "Do you agree......?" Not the other way around?"
The old butler said calmly: "Isn't it meaningful to talk back?"
Of course it doesn't make sense, Don En has now come to the underground passage of the temple association, and it is impossible to go back to the gray anymore if he likes it or not. However, even so, the old butler's approving attitude still made Tang En, who was recognized, overjoyed, and slapped his palms: "That's right! That's right! It's completely meaningless...... So how do I assassinate me?"
"You ask me?" asked the old butler calmly.
How high Tang En's eyesight is, he immediately reacted when he saw this, and waved his hand again and again: "Of course not, just ask, ask casually, I want to hear what good opinions you always have, hehe...... "Of course, it is not possible to ask the old butler how to assassinate, even if there is a way, judging from the other party's consistent urine, it is only possible to stand by and let Tang En want to go."
Sure enough, the old housekeeper sat back on the chaise longue, picked up the book, and replied, "I have no opinion." ”
I don't have an opinion to be like this, who did I learn from...... After complaining, Tang Dunton felt that his previous depression had dissipated a lot, and then he naturally didn't dare to provoke the old housekeeper at will, so he waved his hand to bring up the system screen, carefully read every piece of information collected, and expanded and analyzed......
In fact, with Tang En's perverted memory, he was naturally familiar with these intelligence materials in the system, and he basically couldn't talk about ignoring the carelessness. But after all, memories are just memories, and even if they are clear, they are only abstract thoughts. Compared with the current situation one by one, which can be linked and compared with each other, etc., after all, there is a little less specific image.
Luckily, after going back and forth to analyze and observe the intelligence materials several times, Don En's eyes froze, and he sensitively stared at a piece of information that seemed to have nothing to do with what happened to him at the moment.
These are the casual words of Philip, who occasionally took time to come over when Don and the others were hiding in the capital a few days ago.
This sentence is not directly related to the assassination of the Pope, but it is related to the general situation of the recent change of dynasty in the capital, so Tang En casually entered it into the system at that time. But see that sentence again. Somehow. Tang En's mind instantly appeared with a green lotus leaf that covered the sky and the earth. and the holy water lotus that rises on it......
Blinking and licking his lips again, Tang En suddenly opened his mouth to the system's suspended light curtain and ordered, "Tune out...... In the past, when the new king of Bran came to the temple, he would always receive all the information for his coronation and enthronement!"
......
The undercurrent churns under the water, and the world is as usual.
The capital has entered the stage of full martial law, and the gates of the Quartet are opened and closed regularly, which is basically the rhythm of allowing entry but not exit, and the solemn atmosphere is obvious.
However, this did not cause panic among the people of the capital, in fact, the vast majority of people thought that it should have been so. Because recently there have been deaths in the capital. is still a good nobleman. And because of the news that the eldest prince is about to ascend the throne and become king in the near future, he will announce to the world and change the dynasty. In this particular case, it is not surprising that it is more tightly managed.
It has to be said that if you look at it from this perspective alone, people who lack information sources are not necessarily unhappy. If you don't believe it, you can see that the nobles in the city, who are well-informed and more or less aware of the current situation, have not been so happy lately. Even this includes the eldest prince who lives in the royal castle and is about to be officially crowned, and he has not slept so well these days.
Of course, mainly because of the excitement. After all, the position of the head of a country. It's not like anyone who wants to sit on it. He's got it, and he's going to get it. It's normal to get excited. In addition, it is the hidden worry that he released the words to assassinate the Pope, which is like a thorn, which makes the eldest prince feel like a fish in his throat, and it is difficult to sleep......
Three days, three full days have passed!
Ordinary people don't know about it, but the noble prince naturally knows that in addition to these martial law forces on the surface, in the shadows that cannot be seen, the two giant machines of the empire and the temple have already been activated, and they have searched every place and corner within a radius of more than 100 miles around the capital and the temple, but as a result, nothing has been found!
The energy exerted by the powerful combination of the empire and the temple is naturally undoubted. So this result is undoubtedly abnormal, which makes the eldest prince even more worried.
As the old saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying.
No one knows what Donn thinks, saying that he is going to assassinate the Pope...... Well, although the possibility of success is infinitely close to zero, if he really succeeds, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the current empire, and even more so for the eldest prince. It's very simple, the popes are dead, so who will coronate him?
Moreover, even if the purpose of Donn's release of the news was just to distract everyone's attention, he didn't really want to assassinate the Pope. But who can be sure that he will not turn to the Great Prince in a hot head? After all, it is indeed much easier to assassinate the Great Prince than to assassinate the Pope......
Look, this is the unknown power of terror. Just imagining it, the eldest prince felt that this impregnable royal castle was not safe enough, and he called a large group of royal court guards everywhere. Resolutely do not go out unless necessary. And I have to keep sending people to inquire about the movements of the temple association, lest there suddenly come some bad news......
The people are panicked, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, which is the current state of the eldest prince.
The above is perhaps the highest level that an assassin can achieve. He didn't have the power to destroy an empire, and he didn't need to do that at all. As long as he has the ability to erase a king, the empire will have to look at him in the opposite light!
Compared with the big prince who was worried and jumped up and down, the temple would be much calmer.
Although they knew better than anyone else about Donn's destructive power and the other party's magnificent record against the Temple in the past, they were a little embarrassed and annoyed that they had not been able to dig out the opponent's whereabouts despite the fact that it took them three days. But the millennium is not a joke, and most of the temple's remarks about Tang En's threat to assassinate the Pope are still unimpressed, and even laugh at it.
Note that this is not a disdain, but a strong self-confidence brought by one's own confidence!Well, at least in the eyes of the temple masters, this is true......
Therefore, although the temple general association has not given up tracking down Tang En's whereabouts, and continues to increase the search efforts over time, it is actually not panicked in his heart. Especially looking at the holy lake islands like a net of heaven and earth, the mentality is even more stable.
Even, there will be a vague bold idea of 'the evil heresy will not come, and it will be just cleaned up when it comes'.
Well, that is, Don is learning to crawl around in the underground passages with rats, and he doesn't know this, otherwise he has to pat his chest and agree, and he will definitely fulfill the other party's extremely witty idea......
