Gatekeeper of all realms.

Chapter 289 Assassin's Ace: Shadow Shining Thorn!

"A legend (gold) is about to be born!"

Ok.

Great.

The one who performed the resurrection spell was the big skeleton.

I have the reputation!

Rosalia must have said something to someone in Hell.

——She thought it was Baxter who resurrected her!
Shen Ye felt a little embarrassed.

It's my fault for always causing a stir in hell, but being too handsome is a helpless thing given by God, there's nothing I can do about it.

To be honest——

In fact, I am also very curious about what effect will happen if the term "vampire baby" reaches the gold level!
While Shen Ye was thinking, Rosalia opened her eyes.

She got up from the ground, knelt on one knee, and bowed gratefully:

"grown ups!"

"Well, I need your help with something." Shen Ye said.

"I will do my best to serve you!" said Rosalia.

"It is not convenient for me to go to Evernight City right now. You go there on my behalf to investigate those powerful people who died recently and look for any suspicious clues from their remains."

"——The louder the better."

"Yes!" said Rosalia.

"By the way, this is for you."

Shen Ye handed her the badge of the captain of the Five Desires Guard.

——All the work troubles were handed over to this grateful subordinate.

"One more thing - if you find any information in Evernight City, tell Lord Magaho directly."

"understood."

Rosalia took the badge and immediately left the secret passage.

She used the assassin's shadow skills to quickly leave the human position and head towards the Undead Empire.

"Can she do it?" the big skeleton said uncertainly.

Shen Ye said: "At least the direction I gave is correct. Plus, she is very tenacious and won't give up easily. I guess -"

"There is an 80% chance that I can obtain the corresponding secret and then tell it directly to Magaho, which will increase the persuasiveness."

"——Maghahou needs to be more cautious about the Nine Phases."

In the City of Eternal Night, almost all of the powerful people who died recently were caused by the scattered attacks of the fate trajectory of the "Nest Banner".

The Nest Banner attacks all of Tianluo's companions.

Even Maha Gahu was not able to escape.

What’s more, they are Tianluo’s subordinates?
As long as there are any clues among Tianluo's men, I believe Rosalia will be able to track them down with her identity as the "Captain of the Five Desires Guards"!
By then, Maha Ganesha might have some doubts.

As for myself——

"Mother Earth, can you find Kalula's location?" Shen Ye asked.

"She is my messenger, I can sense her," said Mother Earth.

"it is good!"

——Go save Carla.

If you think about it carefully, you still have to overcome all difficulties and save her first before doing anything else.

I have inherited the Hun Tian Sect. The old Taoist once said that Yao Tai is the most powerful weapon bred by the planet to fight against the emperor species.

...We must get Yaotai!
Shen Ye couldn't help but recall what Mogao said:
"When I get it—"

"The survival of the Death Planet depends on my thoughts."

——Hurry up!
We must seize Yaotai before they discover everything!

Shen Ye walked out of the secret passage and looked around.

There were only a few soldiers on the battlefield, and they all looked relaxed.

It seems that there has been no war recently.

Shen Ye was about to leave when he suddenly saw a hand reaching out from the corner, making a subtle "I love you" gesture.

Brotherhood of Shadows!
Shen Ye slapped his head and walked towards the hand.

I saw an ordinary-looking man standing at the corner, whispering:

"Saint Page."

"Well, what's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince and the diplomatic convoy have entered the territory of the undead and have arrived at the City of Eternal Night."

"It's extremely dangerous to go there. Do you want to contact His Royal Highness?"

"I'm just about to lend a helping hand to the prince!" Shen Ye said solemnly.

The man immediately showed a look of joy.

"Wait!"

"Any thing else?"

"I have a special Assassin Action gift pack here, take it!"

A leather bag was placed in front of Shen Ye and then opened, revealing a dagger and a horse whistle inside.

Shen Ye took a deep breath, revealed a nostalgic look, and said softly:
"Assassin's suit..."

"Yes, it's the standard horse and dagger set for battlefield assassins," the man said seriously, making a "love you" gesture again, "This set was just produced. The shelf life of the tactical camouflage dagger is a full two years, and the horse just graduated from the drama school."

Shen Ye pondered and said, "Forget about the horse. After all, riding a human horse in the Undead Empire is too conspicuous. I'll keep the dagger - do you have any extra daggers?"

"Yes, sir, how many do you want?"

"Four."

"Here, your Royal Highness's safety is guaranteed by you, and all of us can rest assured! The shadow will protect you!"

"Thank you."

Shen Ye took out four tactical camouflage daggers, responded with a "love you" gesture to the other party, and then slowly backed away.

Following the path into the dense forest, Shen Ye placed four tactical camouflage daggers on the ground.

The glimmer of light emerged and gathered into words:
"Tactical camouflage dagger."

"Special item, green (excellent) quality."

"How to use: lick it."

"Death Fake: When you pretend to be dead, you look like you are really dead."

"Poison smear: A special poison is applied. Just licking it will cause you to fake death (the shelf life of the poison is up to two years)."

It is indeed worth remembering.

When I first came to the nightmare world and came into contact with the Shadow Brotherhood, I was recommended such a treasure.

Now it seems that this is indeed a good thing for assassins.

Otherwise, the other party would not take it out at this moment.

So--

"Fusion."

Shen Ye said softly.

The glimmer of light quickly gathered into more small words:
"You activated the power of the purple item 'Vampire Baby'."

"The four identical daggers are now beginning to merge and produce an evolutionary effect."

“Done!”

The power of the Dharma Realm surged from the void, penetrating the four daggers on the ground like a wave.

Moment.

They all disappeared.

A brand new, gray dagger appeared in front of Shen Ye.

"Shadow camouflage dagger."

"Special item, blue (excellent) quality."

"How to use: lick it."

"Death Shell: When you play dead, you can choose your own death appearance."

"Permanent Toxin: The toxin on the blade will not expire. Just lick it and you will pass away in suspended animation."

Shen Ye looked at the dagger and fell into deep thought.

Think carefully -

You can open the door and run away during the battle.

Although this can save lives, it has a drawback.

That means leaving the scene, not knowing what will happen next.

If I could play dead and stay where I am -

"go!"

He put away the dagger, quickened his pace, and returned to the human camp again.

Find the Shadow Brotherhood tent.

Go in.

I saw the ordinary-looking man sitting inside, studying a map with several assassins.

"St. Page!"

When they saw Shen Ye coming in, they hurriedly stood up and stretched out their hands to make a "love you" gesture.

The difference is that when someone puts it next to the face, it means long time no see.

Some people put their hand on their chest, which means "I am always thinking of you."

Putting it on the belly means "I really want to communicate with you further."

Shen Ye responded with the same Brotherhood gesture and said:

"Everyone, I need more tactical camouflage daggers now. Do you have any in stock?"

The leading man said, "In fact, most of the tactical camouflage daggers are on the front line. If you need them, I can find them all."

He pulled out a wooden box from under the table behind him and placed a number of brand new daggers in front of Shen Ye.

Nine in total.

It’s not enough... At least twelve are needed to merge them.

"Do you have any on you?" Shen Ye asked.

"Have!"

Several people drew out their daggers and placed them in front of Shen Ye.

Exactly twelve.

It's all done now.

"Lord Page, are you going to organize a team of assassins and go to Evernight City to pretend to be dead?" the man asked excitedly.

"Count me in, Master Paige."

"Yes, I am also very good at pretending to be dead, sir."

Several people said enthusiastically.

"Are you so confident?" Shen Ye couldn't help but ask.

"Your Excellency, please see——"

Several people took out a banner from behind the tent, which read:

"Warm congratulations on the successful conclusion of the 15th Northern Battlefront Death Playing Competition."

"Organizer: Brotherhood of Shadows."

Shen Ye took a breath of cold air.

——Has this become a competition?

So "playing dead" is actually a core skill for assassins?
Extraordinary.

Looks like I have to re-examine this skill.

"Brothers, I appreciate your kindness. When the need arises, I will call on you all to serve the country!"

Shen Ye said.

Several assassins said in unison: "At your service at any time, Paige!"

Shen Ye nodded, put away the dagger, said goodbye to everyone reluctantly, and left the human position.

Back to the woods.

Divide the twelve daggers into three groups of four.

All laid out on the floor.

Activate the purple entry "Vampire Baby".

The power of the Dharma Realm swept across all the daggers, and the twelve daggers merged into three shadow-camouflaged daggers.

Put the previous dagger on it.

These are four identical blue quality daggers.

The time has come to witness the miracle——

"Fusion."

Shen Ye said.

The power of the entry "Vampire Baby" erupted again, attracting the Dharma Realm and infusing the laws into the four daggers.

Moment.

Four daggers were missing.

A gray, inconspicuous-looking dagger lay quietly on the ground.

Fusion is complete!
The glimmer of light emerged into small words, floating next to the gray dagger:

"Shadow Shining Thorn."

"Special treasure, purple (one in ten thousand) level."

"How to use: lick it."

“Death Costume: When you play dead, you can choose your own personalized 'death skin' and 'look'.”

"Master of Anesthesia: The toxin on the blade will not expire. Just lick it and you will pass out of your suspended state. You can remain conscious and wake up at any time."

"Rewards of Death: When you play dead, any damage will only act on your personalized death skin. Once the death skin is broken, you will start to withstand attacks."

"—Try and you will die."

Shen Ye finished reading it quickly, feeling confused.

What are the so-called "death skin" and "look"?
Try it!

He picked up the dagger, licked it, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Snapped.

The moment he hit the ground, he turned into a knight in tattered armor, with seven or eight arrows in his back and blood gushing out.

The glimmer of light emerged into small words:
"Current Death Skin: Battle Knight of Death."

"Current appearance: Died from an arrow in the back."

interesting……

Can I choose a death skin?
Following Shen Ye's thoughts, he suddenly turned into a thin magician again!
Still the look of someone being shot in the back!

——Change your look!

Half of the magician's body was cut by the sharp blade and he lay on the ground, deader than dead.

Shen Ye cancelled his skin and styling, got up from the ground, and fell into deep thought.

Can I change the skin to another race?
Grab the dagger and take another lick.

slam-la-

The bones were scattered all over the ground, and the faint soul fire in the cracked eye sockets of the skull quickly went out.

You can also become a undead!
So strong!

This dagger is not strong in the traditional sense.

But when it comes to pretending to be dead, it has already reached the master level!

However, all this is thanks to——

"Vampire baby".

This entry has extremely powerful Dharma power in fusing items!

It seems that we need to find a way to keep it upgrading.

Shen Ye was thinking about it when he suddenly felt something and pulled out the magic letter paper.

A line of words appeared on it:

"I heard you were looking for me?"

Prince Norton!

Shen Ye immediately wrote: "Where are you? I'll meet you there."

"Eternal Night City, Diplomatic Mission Building."

Have we really arrived at the City of Eternal Night?
Shen Ye was surprised.

The Nine Phases are there, and maybe Maha Gāhāra is there too!
"Wait for me—I'll be right there!"

He hurriedly put away the magic letter paper, identified the direction, and soared into the sky.

Less than half an hour.

He reached the border of the Undead Empire and landed beside a stream.

"Why don't you leave? Are you going to give up your identity as Baxter?" asked the big skeleton.

"Yes, Jiuxiang is in Eternal Night City now, and Mogao is likely to be there as well. If I go there directly, I will be too conspicuous." Shen Ye said.

"You want to enter Evernight City as a human? You are not from the outside world and will be arrested directly." The big skeleton said. "So now we need your help."

"what?"

"——I remember that you undead can also deliver letters."

"Correct."

"Shall we send a courier?"

“What is express delivery?”

"Just send the things to Evernight City."

"Of course you can mail other things, but if you mail a living person, it might be eaten by other undead spirits."

"That's it."

"Huh? All right?"

A few minutes later.

An ugly skeleton came to the undead town on the border, found the messenger, and paid a large sum of bone coins.

The things I sent were very simple.

The address is reliable too.

There is nothing to say——

The messenger took a look at the pile of bone coins, stamped it with the "expedited" stamp, opened the freight transmission array, and teleported the package to Eternal Night City.

Evernight City.

Courier forwarding agency.

A package marked "expedited" was picked up.

After repeated inspections, it was put back.

Then a courier took the package and delivered it to the hotel where the diplomatic mission was staying.

"The package from Viscount Guawa to Prince Norton?"

Two guards and an assassin checked the package.

everything is normal.

The package finally reached the hands of the prince's chief court wizard, Yudriya.

The contents of the package were so simple that Yudriya only had to take a glance at it, without even using any magic, to figure out what was inside.

To be on the safe side, Yudriya still used a reconnaissance technique.

The package is not responding.

She then stood up, walked to the door of the prince's room and knocked.

They are discussing things inside.

"what's up?"

Prince Norton's voice rang out.

"Viscount Guawa sent a package."

"he?"

"Yes, I checked it out. It shouldn't be dangerous."

"Bring it in!"

"Yes."

The package was placed on the table.

As for Prince Norton——

He sat on the spacious and comfortable sofa, drinking coffee and looking at a piece of intelligence.

All the staff members surrounded him.

"My Lord, there is no need to look at a Viscount's package."

An aide suggested.

"Yes, it must be those two-faced guys again. Seeing that Your Majesty did not punish you, they hurried to curry favor with you."

"No need to say more," said Prince Norton. "Open it immediately and I want to see what's inside."

An assassin opened the package himself.

Only an ordinary makeup mirror appeared in front of everyone.

The assassin picked up the mirror, fiddled with it carefully, and said:
"Your Highness, this is just an ordinary mirror."

"This is strange. Come, let me take a look." Prince Norton took the mirror and looked at it carefully.

That's right.

It is indeed an ordinary mirror.

"Where did it come from?" asked Prince Norton.

"The Border Town of the Dead, a very small town." said Yudriya.

"...What the hell is he doing? He's really something. Can't he just say what he wants to say directly?" Prince Norton sighed.

suddenly.

A voice sounded from behind everyone:

"It's okay. I just came to see you."

Everyone in the room turned around at the same time—

"Peppa!"

"St. Page!"

"——It's Lord Page, who was conferred the title by the prince. He's here too!"

The crowd started to make a noise.

I saw Shen Ye squatting on the windowsill outside the room, looking at everyone with a smile.

——The legendary assassin, Lord Saint Page!
How did he appear?
totally no idea!
A sense of respect arose in everyone's hearts.

——The strong are always respected.

Someone hurriedly got up and opened the window.

Shen Ye jumped into the room.

Actually, seriously speaking, the whole process is actually very simple.

The profession of "Aishenzhu" allows one to exist in a mirror.

Enter the mirror first.

Let the big skeleton do the mailing.

Upon arrival, look at the window glass in the mirror.

Transpose yourself into the window glass.

Out of the window glass.

Squatting on the windowsill say: "hi~"

It's that simple.

But if you don’t understand the principles of the profession of “No Life Master”, you will be confused.

——After all, it seems that not many people have seen this profession.

After all, even the emperor-type giant cosmic insects were caught in the trap.

"Where did you come from?" Prince Norton asked in surprise.

"Do you believe me when I say it's a mirror?"

"I know you assassins have many methods, but don't mention emerging from a mirror. I'm not a child!"

"Well, I didn't know your exact location, so I sent a package and followed the courier to find it."

Right, this should be the truth.

Everyone nodded secretly.

Shen Ye smiled and exchanged a few words with everyone.

"I have something to say to Page alone, so you guys can leave first," said Prince Norton.

Everyone tactfully stood up and left the room.

Only Norton and Shen Ye were left.

Norton suddenly drew out a dagger and stabbed at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye swung his knife to block it.

Norton swung his sword continuously, but was blocked by Shen Ye again.

"So hardworking?" Shen Ye said with a smile.

"I haven't activated my Dharma image, so you can deal with it easily." Norton said.

A faint golden light emanated from his body, all of which was poured into the dagger.

A powerful wave of power emanated from the sword's edge.

next moment.

Before attracting anyone else's attention, Norton suddenly sheathed the sword with a clang.

"How?" he asked.

"No, it's still a long way off." Shen Ye said truthfully.

Admittedly, my own strength is not that good.

But as you gain more experience, your horizons become broader.

"Hmph, your strength is just average. What makes you say I'm far worse than you?" Norton was unhappy.

strength……

Shen Ye glanced into the void.

The frequency of the small glowing words popping up is not as high as before, but every few minutes, prompts such as "Strength +0.5" and "Insight +0.7" will still appear.

Tianluo’s power has not been completely absorbed yet!
"Your target is not me, but the guy who killed your father - has your bloodline awakened?" Shen Ye said.

"I used the secret technique of burning blood, and my bloodline is awakening. It will take some time." Prince Norton said.

Shen Ye understood.

——He wanted to avenge his father so much.

Killing the Nine Prime Ministers is a long way off.

But his contribution is needed to liberate Mother Earth.

"How long will it take you to fully awaken?" Shen Ye asked.

"I'm not sure - if the situation is good, it will happen quickly; if you don't have enough talent, there will be no hope in your whole life." Prince Norton said.

"What is the principle behind your bloodline awakening?" Shen Ye asked.

"Remove impurities from the blood, infinitely activate the magic power of the blood, use the power of magic patterns to awaken the divine blood and ignite the divinity." Prince Norton said.

Shen Ye nodded.

Didn't understand.

However, Norton must wake up.

Only by gathering the power of the three gods can you open the cage that seals Mother Earth.

"I have a question." Shen Ye said.

"explain."

"Where did you get that death disguise cloak?"

"Not working?"

"It's very useful. It's too useful. So I'm very curious about its origin."

——When I dressed up as a vampire, no one could tell me apart!
It’s simply a magical tool!
Norton smiled and said, "That is a treasure passed down from our family. Long ago in history, our family actually came from the divine world."

"Why are you in the nightmare world?" Shen Ye asked.

"According to family records, during our escape, we discovered that a world had suddenly appeared in the void, and that it had a complete ecosystem that allowed us to survive, so the entire family stayed in this world."

"The cloak is one of our family's heirlooms. It is said that even the strongest of the ninth level of the Dharma Realm cannot see through it."

"If things go wrong, I'm ready to escape to the world of the dead and become a vampire," Prince Norton said.

Shen Ye suddenly realized.

No wonder this kid hid so many bone coins and so many undead armors.

He had already prepared a retreat!
"You are willing to give it to me." Shen Ye said with emotion.

"It's because you saved my life. I think I can take a gamble. After all, I am more adapted to life in the human world."

Norton said, standing up and picking up a few invitations from the table on the side.

"This time when I came to the Undead Empire, several major Undead forces invited me to attend the banquet."

"The Earl of Pale Shadow, the skeletons of Soul Forging Sacred Bones, the Dark Night Undead of Dark Rose, and of course, His Royal Highness the Regent."

"They seem to be independent forces."

"Paige, which side do you think I should be closer to?"

Shen Ye walked to the window and looked at the bustling Street of the Dead outside.

The voice of Mictetikashiva, Lord of the Underworld, sounded quietly:

"Mother Earth asked me to tell you that Carula is in the castle of the Marquises. The Marquises belongs to the Dark Night Undead faction."

"It's best to find a way to meet the female marquis and see if she is Jiu Xiang's subordinate, or if she is Jiu Xiang herself!"

Shen Ye thought about it, turned back and said to Norton:

"You need to gain the goodwill of the Regent, or you will be killed in an instant."

"Is this true?" Norton said in disbelief. "I am the prince of the human race. If he kills me, isn't he afraid of triggering a world war?"

"He is the strongest and doesn't care about anything in this world - Your Highness, you must listen to me this time." Shen Ye said seriously.

"...So dangerous?" Norton hesitated.

In fact, he was able to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and at this time he already knew that the other party was telling the truth.

"That's right. Don't be careless. Even if you have to pretend to be nice to him, you have to get along with him happily - this is to save your life." Shen Ye said.

"But what if he doesn't accept me?" Norton asked.

"When you get there, say that you are friends with the vampire Dragon Five Baxter, a friendship worth life and death. Baxter recommended you to come for an audience. Ask His Royal Highness the Regent if he needs anything. The human race will definitely support you." Shen Ye said.

Norton thought thoughtfully.

He used the cape to dress up as Baxter?
Even the Regent of the Undead Empire has to give Baxter some face?
It seems that Page has been doing a lot of work in private.

"...He's going to ask me how I know Baxter?" Norton asked.

"Netizens - no, we should start as pen pals," Shen Ye took out the magic letter paper, "After meeting in person, we gradually became good brothers."

Norton pulled out an invitation and looked at the time on it.

"It's almost time. Since you said so, I won't hesitate any more and go see the Regent first!"

"There's one more thing I need to trouble you with."

"what?"

"Send the Marquise a present of sufficient standard."

……

After half an hour.

A gold sculptured mirror appeared on the table of Marquise de Chatelet.

The butler checked the gifts as usual.

——Of course there is no problem with gifts.
