The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Therefore, what they are going to do this time is definitely so profitable that they can make a lot of money even if they anger Patra IX. This is why the assassins are so determined to take action.

"I don't know. I'm just looking for someone."

Elena felt uneasy, but she really couldn't say it.

"Ms. Olivia, I need your help."

"Are you planning to ask for help from the imperial capital?"

Olivia saw what Elena was thinking at a glance.

"It's impossible for me to find someone in my current state, so I can only tell the Imperial Capital what happened and ask them to arrange someone."

Elena looked bitter.

Of course, she didn't want the mission to fail.

However, she was seriously injured and had difficulty even moving her arms. It was impossible for her to complete the task. She had to inform her grandfather and ask him to tell His Majesty and send someone over.

The Assassin's Guild accurately captured the whereabouts of four gold-level members, including her, which was no small matter.

Chapter 228: The Cautious Assassin

"Did you bring the communication crystal that can contact the Empire?"

Olivia glanced at Elena, who looked pale.

"Of course I brought it."

Although the communication crystal is not very effective over very long distances, it is still possible to send short magical messages.

It is enough to tell the imperial capital about the matter.

"Ms. Olivia, can you help me find it?"

It seems that Elena has not given up the mission yet. She plans to rely on the power of Olivia, who is quite famous in White Stone Town.

"The Const family will pay you handsomely."

"Yes, but I can't guarantee that I can find it."

Olivia did not refuse this. After all, it was a good thing to make the Const family owe her a favor.

"I see."

After experiencing the assassin's ambush, Elena realized how dangerous this matter was, so she didn't hold out much hope and just thought she should continue trying before asking Olivia for help.

"You should have a good rest first and heal your wounds."

Olivia said, then turned and left the room.

After Olivia left, Elena took out the communication crystal from her space waist bag and used the reserved magic power in it to send a brief message about what had happened to the imperial capital Panivia.

She knew her grandfather would definitely receive this message.

After doing all this, Elena, who was in pain and exhausted, gradually fell into a deep sleep.

She was just trying to stay awake, but as soon as she relaxed, she fell into a deep sleep.

When Olivia came down from upstairs, she found that Shirleya was looking nervous, while Freya was sitting there expressionless with the cute little Lucy in her arms.

"what happened?"

Olivia's eyes fell on Freya's feet. There was a trace of shadow in the shadow.

"There was an enemy, and I killed him."

Freya's answer was simple and straightforward, but things were not that simple.

"Sister Olivia, it's an assassin!"

At this time, Xi Ruiya came back to her senses and spoke in a louder voice.

“And it’s very strong.”

Xi Ruiya didn't know how strong the opponent was, but when the assassin attacked her, the momentum he locked onto her was stronger than any silver-level assassin she had ever seen.

"Golden level?"

Olivia raised her brow.

Although she knew that this matter was not simple, according to the configuration of the previous assassination of the fatal gold-level professional, plus the attackers in the town, and the gold-level assassin who was now dead, there were at least six gold-level assassins who took action.

This is not a small amount.

Although the Assassin's Guild was a first-rate force, it only had three gem-ranked members and twelve gold-ranked members besides the legendary president. This number was roughly accurate, and even if there was an error, it would not be too large.

After all, the Assassin's Guild only recruits talented assassins.

The talent here does not refer to professional talent, but to the talent for assassination.

Yes, the largest number of assassins in the Assassin's Guild are not professional assassins, but ordinary assassins without a profession.

Although these assassins are ordinary people, they have been trained by the Assassin's Guild and have the strength to kill formal-level professionals. They are perfect for dealing with small businessmen and small nobles.

This is also the reason why the Assassin's Guild has been able to stand firm.

The top levels are difficult to catch, the middle levels are hidden, and the lower levels are easy to develop.

The Assassin's Guild must be making some big move by sending half of the middle-level members at once.

But Olivia hasn't heard of any big moves from the Assassin's Guild recently.

Especially after losing a gold-level assassin last time because of Freya’s incident, the other party should have been lurking for a while.

Who is the girl that Elena is looking for?

Why did the Assassin's Guild take such a big action?

Olivia also thought that the Assassin's Guild was hired by someone.

But if this is the case, who would be the employer who could make half of the gold-level assassins of the assassin's guild take action, and even the gem-level assassins might be dispatched? This reward may not be something that ordinary people can afford. Even the Duke's family would be hurt and turbulent because of this.

Could it be those kingdoms?

Olivia had to consider this possibility.

She was thinking about whether or not to look for Heiyao Town. After all, in the decades before the Demon King awakened, the stability of the Endrol continent was the most important.

We must not allow a war between the Empire and several kingdoms to deplete our forces against the Demon King.

"They were all killed."

Freya said as she crushed it again.

Although it is impossible to kill all the assassins in the entire Assassin's Guild branch like before.

But this time, Freya at least killed the attacking gold-level assassin and the top silver-level assassin guarding in the alley.

Relying on the blood connection between them, Freya allowed death to spread to the other person.

"This guy is greedy for his own death."

Olivia thought about it and knew why the other party came in.

One was for investigation, and the other probably noticed the huge bounty on Xi Ruiya and wanted to make a quick buck before leaving.

After all, if a gold-level assassin sneaked into the store, killed Cirilla immediately, and then immediately escaped into the shadows, it would be too late even for Olivia to react.

This is not a question of strength, but a question of compatibility.

Olivia wasn't very good at dealing with assassins.

But unfortunately he met Freya and died quietly.

This is why Olivia asked Freya to protect Shiriya.

Freya is completely the nemesis of assassins. It can be said that when facing an assassin of the same level, Freya’s chance of winning is 100%.

"Shiria, don't go out for the time being. It's going to be chaotic outside for a while."

Olivia warned Sheria.

"Yes."

Xi Ruiya was also shocked just now.

She didn't expect that an assassin would suddenly attack her.

The peace that had been going on before had made Xi Ruiya relax her vigilance a little.

After all, it is impossible for people to keep their nerves tense all the time. If they do that, they will probably scare themselves to death even before the enemy arrives.

"It looks like the Assassin's Guild is making a big move."

“They can’t do anything great.”

Olivia was not too worried about this. After all, if it was just a problem with the Assassin's Guild, as long as the Adventurer's Guild took action, the Assassin's Guild would have no choice but to retreat.

In the continent of Enderol, the Adventurer's Guild is the largest force, bar none.

All Olivia was worried about was a war between the Empire and several kingdoms.

But now most of these are just her guesses, and she can't say which ones are the truth.

"Instead of worrying about the assassin attacking again, think about what to eat tonight."

"Um... this is really a difficult question."

Xi Ruiya suddenly felt that the question of what to eat in the evening was indeed very difficult.

Chapter 229 Crisis Arrives

There are still three days to go before reaching the entrance to the second level.

Phoebe has changed lately.

Not so curious anymore.

She began to become quiet, liked to daydream, like to look into the distance, and even had a nostalgic look on her face.

Phoebe now is completely different from the beginning.

But no one asked.

Everyone has their own secrets, and no one wants to be questioned.

The journey was still smooth.

However, Lisha felt more and more uneasy.

There is danger approaching.

But Lisha could not find the source of danger.

She almost wiped out all the monsters nearby, making it impossible for them to pose a threat to the team.

The adventurers we met on the way were not very strong.

Where does the danger come from?

Lisha was puzzled.

night.

Everyone in the team except Lisha and Ilsa had fallen asleep.

The two of them are still the original ones who keep watch.

Ilsa fanned the fire to make it burn more vigorously.

Lisha held the jerky in her hand, roasted it over the fire for a while, and then ate it all in one bite, one after another, like a snack.

Apart from the occasional chirping of insects, the only sound around was the crackling of burning firewood.

"Ilsa, please help me get the kettle. I forgot it in the tent."

Lisha's mouth seemed to be dry from eating too much jerky, so she turned her head and said to Ilsa.

"Don't eat so much late at night. It's bad for your stomach."

After saying this in a tone that was half complaining and half teaching, Ilsa stood up and went into the tent.

Lisha yawned and seemed to be a little sleepy.
