[Slow Wear] Assassin System

parting

The boundless wilderness is like a vessel full of darkness, and everyone can only soak in it deeply.

"Is it against the regulations?"

Hearing this familiar interrogation, Vera laughed and cried: "Yes! I lure the corpses to gather."

Miao Xuan's breath stagnates: "Is the innocent involved?"

Vera looked into his eyes and said firmly, "Nothing."

She was telling the truth.

Miao Xuan's blade shifted slightly.

He has already caught the person who seduced the walking corpse, Vera may have attempted a crime, she hasn't made the last step yet, and that's why she dares to deny it.

If that's the case, then it's fine... it's still possible to--

"Shut up!" An angry voice escaped from Sullivan's throat. He looked at Miao Xuan and Vera at his feet in disbelief, "What are you doing? Are you interrogating her?!"

At this moment, his anger reached its peak. He raised his long sword, and as long as Miao Xuan gave any positive hint, he would slash at this woman: "Are you judging her? Do you think she is innocent?!"

Baldr had strode towards them, and he also looked at Miao Xuan. The sacrifice was his subordinate and friend, and he needed an answer.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense, and Vera's eyes were once again stained with hatred. Miao Xuan raised his head and looked around at the people present - he was the only one who was calm here.

Miao Xuan simply didn't care about anyone, he squatted down beside Vera: "Who gave you the news?"

Sullivan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't immediately get angry. Miao Xuan's question was also what he wanted to know. The ensuing attacks might be attributed to the vendetta and the ugliness of the dark survivors at first, but the attacks have reached this level. The point - too abnormal.

Is it true that, as the mercenary said, someone really planned all this secretly? !

Could it be... Could it be that they are still people from the Bright Land!

Sullivan was frightened by his own speculation. There was no possibility of collusion between the people of light and the remnants of darkness in his mind. He covered up his panic and looked at his monarch, but he couldn't see it on Balder's face. any fluctuations.

...as if the young king had known about such horrors.

Vera lowered her head: "Like them, it's—"

"Hungry wolf, right?" Miao Xuan interrupted her statement.

Vera closed her eyes, tears rolled down, "Yes, I blindly followed his news without thinking."

What else does Miao Xuan not understand?He knew Vera's miserable life experience, and there was too much hatred hidden in this girl's heart. Fenrir only needs to reveal a little news about the Knights of Light, and Vera will believe it... Or, her hatred and will to die will make her believe.

By the way, the blood of a mage is not an easy thing to get.

In all likelihood, it was Fenrir's handwriting.

System: [Goal [-] again... What a disaster, if it wasn't for Tyre's cutie——]

Miao Xuan reassured the small system: "We'll settle the account after we go back. In short, send this group of people back to the Land of Glory first."

The blade aimed at Vera shifted a little further.

Although innocent people were not harmed, what Vera did was still bad.

Gathering walking corpses is a taboo for all the dark survivors. Even if the dark survivors don't attract walking corpses, there are hundreds of thousands of cases killed by these monsters every year, and gathering walking corpses also requires bait, so these baits come from Where did it come from?

The blood of the Bright Mage and the Mage are the most high-end bait, followed by ordinary people, just the innocent child a few days ago... Desperadoes can snatch children from border cities such as St. Amber, but it is more likely to snatch the dark Children of the Remnants.

Yes, just as every family in the Land of Glory is likely to have offspring with black hair and black eyes, couples who are also dark remnants are very likely to have offspring with light hair and colored eyes—the latter in the Land of Darkness It's common sense, but the people in Land of Glory don't know it.

In the belief of the people of light, the survivors of darkness and them are two species, but the blood of the two is mixed together.

"Who is the hungry wolf?" Balder's voice interrupted Miao Xuan's contemplation. He stepped forward, looked into Miao Xuan's eyes and asked, "Please tell me, who is the hungry wolf?"

Miao Xuan didn't answer his question at all, he only said: "I want to take her away."

This sentence was earth-shattering, and the tense atmosphere was immediately ignited. Sullivan yelled, "How dare you!"

Sullivan's huge sword slashed at Vera regardless, but Miao Xuan moved faster than him!The third skill [Shadow Strike] knocked the knight into the air, turned around and blocked Balder's sword with the blade, and at the same time threw the second skill [Shadow Eclipse] towards the mage with a backhand, blocking all attacks in just a few seconds repel!

Vera raised her upper body and screamed, "My lord!"

Miao Xuan picked her up directly with the free hand, and confronted Baldr with the other hand holding the half-arm blade.

There is no need to negotiate at this time, but Baldr still frowned: "Why did you take her away? Put her down and tell me who 'Hungry Wolf' is? Give me a reason!"

Perhaps at the moment of Miao Xuan's interrogation, he had expected the worst situation. His sword was drawn quickly, carrying Ling Ran's might.

"In this land, she is not worthy of death." Miao Xuan replied, "She has not done anything to harm innocent people, and you are from the Glory Land, so you are not qualified to judge her."

Long swords and sharp blades intertwined, and the piercing sound broke out sharply.

Balder demanded: "So you have?"

Miao Xuan smiled: "Yes, I have."

After that, he suddenly exploded, and the moment the two weapons were staggered, Miao Xuan and Vera disappeared at the same time and returned to the same place.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Baldr put away his long sword: "Be alert!"

The Knights carried out his orders efficiently.

-----

Miao Xuan took Vera to the nearest fallen city, San'anka.

His invisibility ability can carry things, but the weight of the individual he can carry cannot exceed his own weight. Vera is a thin girl, and it is easy to carry her.

Vera cried again: "Master Ned Hogg...kill me...there is no meaning for me to live..."

Miao Xuan found a higher ladder to put her down, and he cut the rope that bound Vera in twos and twos: "If it is self-destruction, please feel free, but please do it after atonement."

After all, Miao Xuan held down her arms, and the arms under her palms had been completely twisted. In a dark place where doctors and medicines are scarce, it is her luck that Vera's injury does not cause disability, let alone sequelae. good.

Miao Xuan moved very quickly, and with a few crisp sounds, he twisted Vera's arm back to its normal position. Vera gritted her teeth and refused to scream.

"Go back to recuperate by yourself." Xuan Xuan said, "Induce the walking corpses to gather, and you will know what to do when you return to Saint Sea."

Vera gasped, her voice was like a mosquito: "Yes."

"Where did you get the mage's blood?" Miao Xuan asked directly, "What did Fenrir tell you?"

Vera was very guilty: "The mage's blood was given to me by the people of St. Jaeger. He is already dead. The letter Fenrir gave me only has one sentence: 'The Son of Light is going to St. Loren'."

It is indeed Fenrir's style as always. Miao Xuan knows that he has a lot of illegal things in his hands, and it is rare that he doesn't care about these things.

The thread of mage's blood has been broken... so simple.

"My lord!" Vera said suddenly, "Fenrir... Fenrir has bad intentions, you were deceived by him!"

In Vera's view, Lord Nidhogg's use of "hungry wolf" to refer to Fenrir was actually protecting him. He did not expose Fenrir to the knights and the new king of the empire, and gave this hungry wolf How much trouble did the wolf save?

Although the trial all pay attention to one solid evidence, not to mention that Fenrir is a feudal official and a first-line nobleman, even if his name is leaked here, he will not be affected much...

Miao Xuan responded softly, and then continued to warn: "The next time I see you violate the regulations, it will be your death."

Vera lowered her head: "Yes."

[Target [-] is not evil...how come he is the dominant one? 】The system sighed,【Another one was treated as a knife and wasted. 】

Miao Xuan is also very helpless: Fenrir is just a lead, even if he does not ignite the fire, people in the dark place will make the same choice sooner or later.

How could it be possible that blood feud is something that can be put down?It hurts the most when the knife is cut on his body. In the world of Little Phoenix, Miao Xuan will never make condescending evaluations easily.

The system hugged the little ball of light tightly: [Brother Miao, where are we going next? 】

Miao Xuan left Vera and ran in the darkness again: Go back... Send Balder back first, and then we will turn north and go to St. Amber to settle the score.

【go back? 】The system was shocked, 【Is this really good?Didn't we tear ourselves apart with the Knights? 】

Miao Xuan sighed: I have promised to do things, not to mention - I can help if I want to, what can they do to me?

-----

The Knights of Light set off again on their way.

All kinds of attacks have not stopped. In addition to driving the walking corpses, setting fire and poisoning have also become the favorites of the attackers.

But what drove Sullivan crazy the most was that the mercenary appeared again lingeringly.

He actually dared to appear openly again, clearing up the attacking dark survivors in front of the Knights in his own way, planning the route and direction-he really had nothing to dare, because no one could stop him.

And his monarch is the same as before. The map provided by the mercenary can be used directly, without worrying about being cheated at all.

But fortunately, as they got closer to the defense line, the frequency of large-scale attacks plummeted, and the casualty rate also dropped significantly, and they were about to go home, all of which made people regain hope.

In addition to these crises, what made Sullivan most angry and worried was the news leaked by the mercenary's question-someone in the Glory Land colluded with the Dark Remnants.

The knight commander was worried every day, and he finally couldn't help it when he was two days away from the defense line: "Your Majesty! Forgive me for offending... Did our news really leak from the Glorious Land?"

The Knights are currently repairing on a high ground. The young monarch had another burst of strength not long ago, and they will not be in any danger for the time being.

Baldr was leaning against the tent, outside was a blazing orange bonfire, and there were only him and Sullivan in the tent.

"It's not surprising." Balder looked down at the long sword at his waist, "Sullivan, the royal family never lacks enemies."

On such a relatively private occasion, a somewhat tired shadow finally appeared on the king's face. Compared with before leaving the light line of defense for dozens of days, Baldr has changed a lot. The dark land and the subordinates who died in the line of duty made his The smile is no longer as bright as it used to be.

Balder shifted his gaze to the map: "St. Amber's sun disc is about to go out, and the falling sun disc is constantly burning the life of the empire. Maybe in a few decades, St. Lumir will fall apart?"

Sullivan was shocked: "Please don't say such words! Your Majesty! You are the son of the light who wants to bring the light. The sun will rise again, and then all darkness and evil will be invisible!"

Baldr looked at his upright subordinate, and smiled after a long time: "You are right."

He couldn't show hesitation in front of Sullivan: "Go and see the wounded for me, we are about to leave, don't lose your vigilance in the final stage."

After receiving the order, Sullivan immediately became energetic: "Yes!"

The rolling door of the tent was opened by the knight walking out, and then hung down again.

Baldr got up and walked to the map. The tent was quiet, and he could faintly hear voices from outside. The bright line of defense was in front of him, and the knights who were about to return home were full of excitement.

Bright crystals lit up beside the map, and Balder looked at his own shadow on the ground: "Are you here?"

A new shadow appeared by the door, and the mercenary stood there, putting on his black cloak again, his voice was extremely low in the silence: "You found me?"

Balder glanced at the clothes under his cloak, and said very politely, "The smell of blood is too strong... Did you kill the attacker? Thank you."

"No need." Miao Xuan threw the map to the side of the crystal ball, "You only have two days left, I won't follow you any more, please be vigilant."

Baldr took the map and unfolded it. When he heard that the mercenaries were no longer following him, he felt mixed emotions. He thought he should relax, but he was more annoyed and regretful.

He frowned: "Aren't you entering the Bright Line? Mercenaries always need supplies, right?"

Miao Xuan directly refused: "I still have many things to do, and I never said that I am a mercenary."

After chatting to death that day, the two were silent for a moment, and it was Balder who said first: "Since we are about to part...are you really unwilling to tell me your name?"

Miao Xuan glanced at the monarch's yellow dot on the small map: "If you really want to know...the Queen Mother has my name."

This is the refusal to tell the name directly.

Balder concealed his inner disappointment with a calm smile: "Since you don't even want to give me your name, it seems like you won't tell me who 'Hungry Wolf' is?"

"..." To be honest, Miao Xuan really wanted to tell him about Fenrir's unspeakable crimes, and mention a few things about the bright line of defense, but it's useless to talk about these things, because neither Baldr nor he, Nothing can be done about it.

To really eradicate these things unless the sun disk rises again... it is better to have another bright light.

Miao Xuan's silence was his answer, and Baldr understood: "Then, the dark survivors... are all like that woman?"

Hate the land of glory, hate the light.

Miao Xuan was still speechless.

Because the answer is yes.

On both sides of the light and the dark is the inextricable hatred mixed with countless complex emotions.

This time Balder was also silent.

The parting is imminent...Maybe we will never meet again in the future, Miao Xuan looked at the mirror-like face in front of him, and tried to persuade him: "Go back to the capital early and don't stop on the way."

Baldr laughed: "Thank you for your concern, will you come to the capital?"

Miao Xuan: "I don't know either."
