Chapter 13 The Shadow Lives Forever

It's a pitch black sewer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info novel w?w?w?.?r?a?n?w?e?n?'ne?t

Hundreds of years ago, not long after the founding of the country, when the "wise minister" Harwa Kalabyan proposed to imitate the style of the triumphal capital, the capital of the two generations of empires, the sooner the better, in the newly built capital and the city of Yongxing, when the sewer network was dug under the Yongxing City, the old Tormund I thought about it for a whole day, and began this great project that made the six great families complain at that time, and later generations of subjects praised it.

[Anti-theft Hey, anti-theft, please support the genuine version! Also give Wujian some confidence: The text I wrote is worth the subscription money! I'll go to sleep first, get up and change it.] 】

Tomund had only one condition: the underground of the Fuxing Palace, which was under construction, was a forbidden area for sewer networks.

Perhaps many subsequent generations of kings would have been pleased with Tormund's condition, because in the time of John I alone, the crisscrossed sewers under the royal capital had become the easiest and quickest means of commuting and concealing in the kingdom's illegal underground world, and every king's garrison officer and chief of the guard department could do nothing about it.

In the dark, two men in tights fell silently down the sewer.

Not even the water splashed.

The two of them slowly stood up, and the position and vision they were standing in were just enough to cover each other's blind spots.

The question is, can they really see clearly in the darkness?

"Bang! bang!"

Applause came from the darkness deeper down the sewers.

The two men looked at each other and turned in the direction from which the applause had come.

"What a daring artist!"

The lingua franca with a Far Eastern accent came from the darkness in the depths: "The most famous of the Saliton brothers!

The figure of a third man appeared from the darkness, he was wearing an oriental robe that was rare in the Western Continent, and the applause seemed to be quite rhythmic, and his voice was sharp and soft.

The three of them confronted each other for a few seconds.

"I've seen your portrait. One of the men said indifferently:

"You are Teng, the eunuch of the palm seal of the night king's court. ”

"It's the former eunuch of the palm seal. Teng let out a weird shrill laugh and corrected the man's statement:

"I lost my job three years ago. ”

Teng secretly raised his vigilance in his heart: in the dark, he relied on the ability of the "heart eye" to move freely, and the other party actually looked at the day and saw his appearance clearly.

"I heard that the newly enthroned Yao King Chenxin," the man's expression could not be seen in the darkness, but his voice was particularly bleak and chilling: "A sky-high reward has been offered for you, and you can only escape to the Western Continent and take refuge in the Shadow Shield." ”

The brother beside him, cherishing words like gold, repeated the point of the former: "Sky-high!"

Teng's pupils shrank.

Damn the assassins.

"O Ji Si Chen, alas," Teng first showed a sad expression, and said something that the Saliton brothers did not understand, and then immediately changed into a smile: "It is a sign of the destruction of the country to let a woman rule at night, if you take my head and drift across the sea, only to find that the night is already a sea of fire, who will you ask for the bounty?"

"Don't talk nonsense," the man who spoke first said indifferently, "The Shadow Shield lights up the covenant and asks us to come here, what about the Shadow Lord himself?"

Teng has a particularly friendly smile.

He clasped his hands together, lifted them on his chest, nodded slightly to the two of them, and made a Far Eastern salute.

"It's not talented," Teng raised his head, and said word by word with rhetoric with Far Eastern characteristics: "It is the Shadow Shield, the contemporary shadow master." ”

His words made both men frown deeply.

Silent.

The two men exchanged shocked and solemn glances quickly and silently.

After a while, the man who spoke first said coldly, "The Shadow Shield has changed its owner again, when did it happen?"

"The night before yesterday. Teng replied patiently.

The Saliton brothers were silent for a moment.

So, the most terrifying killer organization since the end of the war is in the hands of this newcomer to the Far East?

"Wuyi Wei raised your special kill level to 'Zi'," the man who spoke first said slowly, "It seems that it is not without reason. ”

Hearing the words "Wuyiwei", Teng carefully concealed the hatred and anger in his eyes.

"Alas, it's a pity that Commander Lin really looks up to me, he will never be able to marry the woman he loves," Teng sighed with a seemingly regretful sigh:

"It seems that I also have to correspondingly, in the Shadow Shield, to raise King Yao's special kill level to 's'. ”

Teng didn't care about talking about the big men in power in the Night Dynasty, but the two men in front of him didn't seem to be interested in even the slightest.

"Why did you choose Yongxing City?" the man who spoke first asked, "Xingchen and Sue Ye are allies. Not long after King Yao ascended the throne, Eddie II and Morat will be happy to capture you as a gift for her accession to the throne. ”

Really perceptive, and asked directly about the crux of the matter.

Teng snorted lightly:

"Trust me, the Kingdom of the Stars will soon be too busy to take care of itself. ”

Teng smiled sinisterly and said, "Of course, Morat's lackeys have very sharp noses, and we should pay attention to it, and, for some reason, the relationship between the Blood Vial Gang and us is very poor......"

"So I had to grieve the two of you and meet me underground. ”

The two men understood the meaning of Teng's words, glanced at each other, and exchanged countless messages in an instant.

"Sure enough, you won't be at ease anywhere," the man who spoke first snorted softly: "In the Eastern Continent, the country and the people are harmed, and when you come to the Western Continent, you also want to fan the flames." ”

"It's too much," Teng chuckled:

"Are you Big Saliton or Little Saliton?"

"Ba'an Knight. The man who spoke first said.

Teng let out another long laugh: "Oh, it turns out that you are the famous 'Flying Locust Blade'! Then the other one must be the Great Saliton, the 'Scarlet Aria' Lordane......?

"You know what, yin-yang man," little Saliton, Ba'an Knight, interrupted him unceremoniously, "We really want to cut off your head in exchange for a bounty." ”

Teng suddenly froze.

Big Saliton, Loerdan, who cherished the words like gold, coldly took his brother's words: "Get to the point. ”

Teng's expression was imperceptible at first, and then immediately changed back to a smile: "Shadow Shield, I want to cooperate with your family for a big business." ”

Little Saliton directly shook his head and vetoed:

"You occupy the vast majority of the market and customers, and we specialize in taking over the big business that is cold and difficult, after both defeats, the twenty-eighth generation of Saliton and the third generation of film masters, in front of the statue of the god of the night, set the "Assassin's Covenant", which cannot be violated. ”

The Great Saliton silently added, "The sword and the shadow, Mo invade each other (shadow_and_blade, _none_crosses_the_boundary.)." ”

Teng laughed happily: "We Far Easterners don't believe in God, let alone the dark night that has disappeared for countless years!"

He lowered his head and said slyly, "And today, since the seventy-third generation of the Shadow Lord is a Far Easterner, the Assassin Covenant may as well be flexible. ”

"Far Easterners?" Little Saliton sneered disdainfully, "In the days of the Ancient Empire, you were only slaves. ”

Teng's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "But the empire has never conquered the Far East, no matter how many sieges it has undergone, the Qilin Holy City still stands, and the only people who can be reduced to slaves in the ancient empire are prisoners of war." ”

"Enough. Big Sariton interrupted the two: "If nothing else, there will be a time later." ”

"Wait!" Teng called out to the two brothers as they were about to leave.

Teng sighed deeply.

"The Saliton family originated from the tower of alchemy before the Age of Empires, and the 'spellbreakers' of battle mages. ”

His voice is heard in the sewers, as if telling a story to the students.

The Sariton brothers change color at the same time!

Feeling the drastic changes in the brothers' faces with his heart, Teng chuckled:

"More than a thousand years ago, although the Far East was repeatedly ravaged by the invasion and ravages of ancient empires, if there is one benefit, that is, although the Far East has changed dynasties, civilization has never stopped. In the Suye Dynasty alone, the rise and fall of the Chen royal family, the ancient history records are full of sweat and cattle...... For example, the details of the Sariton family. ”

"So what?" said little Sariton coldly, "are you going to crush us with books?"

Teng nodded lightly in his heart: It seems that he has grasped the point.

He stepped forward slowly:

"In the Imperial Age, you were known as 'Mage's Nightmare' and 'Assassin who was not afraid of magic', and you were one of the few Assassin families who could break through the layers of court mage's defenses and hit their targets directly, hence the nickname 'Flower of Assassins'. ”

Teng took two more steps, "tsk" twice, as if admiring: "You used to be so famous, those who heard it shuddered, and those who heard it were shocked, and you even took over the business across the continent: the famous 'Mourning King' of the Dawn Dynasty died under your sword." ”

"What's your ethnic language?" Teng scratched his head, and then suddenly patted it: "Oh, yes!"

"If the devil is broken, your life will be dead. (death_calls_when_magic_falls.)”

But then, as if thinking of something terrible, he shook his head, frowned deeply, and his face showed pain, and his words changed:

"It's a pity...... Woe was born. ”

Little Saliton clenched his fists slightly.

"The three magic towers were destroyed one after another, the mages were scattered, and the inheritance was cut off. ”

Teng shook his head and said as he strolled:

After the end of the war, magic was strictly forbidden, and for decades, when the last mage died under strict guard, magic was completely extinct. ”

Great Saritaton's pupils began to slowly retract.

Teng continued to sigh: "From now on, there are no more mages in the nobles' seats, there is no longer magic in the basic curriculum of the royal family, the mage establishment in the army has disappeared, and the big men no longer have effective anti-assassination and anti-hiding methods based on magic. ”

As a result, the difficulty of assassination was greatly reduced, and the conditions for assassins were greatly reduced, so that even those who did not know magic could succeed in assassination if they were taken by surprise. ”

Grand Sariton frowned slightly.

"So since the end of the war, all kinds of different assassin killers have emerged in an endless stream, even the most amateur people, as long as they don't want to die, and they have a knife in their hands, they dare to be killers, oh our shadow shield has also risen from this, covering most of the assassination business. ”

Little Saliton took a deep breath and looked at his brother, but Big Saliton didn't respond, just stared at Teng.

"Poor Saliton family, there are more of us, there are more and more assassin killers of all kinds, and there are fewer and fewer businesses to take, anyway, the mages are gone, why hire the Assassin Flower at a high price if you can assassinate the target at a low cost?"

Teng turned around and laughed:

"Also, when the dragons disappear, what is the use of the dragon slaying technique?"

The Saliton brothers' faces became more and more ugly.

"It's a pity that for hundreds of years, Saliton has gradually fallen into the cold, and no one cares. ”

"The number of people is getting smaller and smaller, and the skills are getting more and more scarce. ”

Teng Chang sighed, with a sad look on his face: "No wonder, without business, there is no money...... And without money, there is no inheritance. ”

"So the flower of the once glorious Assassins, in this generation, the Assassins who can still wield the sword," Teng raised his eyes, looking at Lordan and Baan Knight:

"It's just the two of you. ”

Teng chuckled and shook his head: "The family of two people, tsk." ”

The Saliton brothers did not react for a long time.

But Teng knew he had reached his goal.

"I don't know how long can I hold the knife at the age of Yixian Kunzhong?" ten, twenty, thirty years?" Teng shook his head with a title with Far Eastern characteristics: "When I look back on the history books and read the first dynasty, the rise and fall of a generation of families, I always feel emotional. ”

Teng's eyes showed a mysterious color: "The show is on stage, but at the end of the curtain, the scenery is infinite, but the sunset has arrived, how can this not make people sigh?"

There was a long silence.

"The inheritance of the Saliton family, you don't have to talk too much. ”

Little Saliton, Ba'an Nate couldn't hold back, and spoke decisively, with a slight anger in his voice: "We have the best assassin seeds in each generation, and they can bloom into the most dazzling assassin flowers in the future. ”

Ba'an Nate clenched his fists, and his eyes burned like flames.

Sariton will not die in our generation.

Absolutely not.

Absolute.

Looking at his brother's appearance, LordΓ‘n narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Of course, Yixian Kunzhong is so good, I believe that your next generation will also be the most dazzling Assassin flower. ”
