Chapter 08 Sudden Assassination
The golden nanmu table is carved with complex flower and bird patterns, the wide Xiangyun wood seat armrests are decorated with pure gold, the ground is covered with thick magic leather carpet, and the glass magic lamp above the head exudes a soft light.
This is an extremely luxurious aristocratic living room.
A short and fat man stuffed his whole body into the seat. The man's head was half bald. I don't know if it was because of drinking or being excited, but his fat face was flushed and red.
The old housekeeper who Arthur had seen in the evening was standing behind the short and fat man with his hands down. From the old housekeeper's respectful attitude, he could also guess that this person was Earl Milne.
What really surprised Arthur was the person sitting opposite Earl Milne, a man in black, even at night, wearing a black leather half-faced mask.
Arthur will never forget that black dress and that mask!
Arthur has not had any news about the mysterious killer organization for two years. Arthur sometimes even thought that the other party had forgotten him, but he didn't expect to see the other party's people again after leaving the army.
What puzzled Arthur even more was how could Milne have a connection with this killer organization? Before that, he always thought that Milne targeted him because of the dispute over the inheritance rights of the Palmer family.
Arthur's brain was spinning rapidly, and intermittent sounds kept coming from the room.
"The envoy, now we can confirm that Viscount Gayong of Nuel Town is the target Arthur Hillo, the organization has been looking for. Please arrange people to remove this son as soon as possible to relieve my hatred." Milne said gritting his teeth. Because of his anger, he couldn't help but raise his tone. Arthur outside the door could hear it clearly.
"You can't be too hasty about this. I rushed over within a day after receiving the message. I need to confirm my identity and whereabouts again and report it to the Supervisor before I can determine when to take action." The man in black's voice was very light and his tone was plain.
"Is the organization too cautious? Even if Arthur has some military achievements on the battlefield, he is at best just a war lieutenant warrior. A few sets of "Killing" knives will be solved?"
"You are wrong. Although this Arthur is just a war lieutenant, he has no right to know the secrets involved in me. Because he despised him, the organization destroyed the two commanders and everyone under their command two years ago."
Earl Milne gasped, but he didn't expect that Viscount Jiayong next to his territory was such a tricky guy. If he had known, he wouldn't have let Luzak lead his team to humiliate himself.
The man in black continued: "Actually, we received news from him in the Snow Legion very early, but due to the gathering of warriors in the army, we have not taken action for safety reasons, so we must ensure that this time we take action is foolproof."
Milne drank the wine in the glass and sighed softly, "Then I will hold him to it for a few more days."
"You must not only endure it, but also create opportunities for organizing this action, find ways to stabilize him, apologize to him or invite him to the banquet, etc. You know these methods better than me."
Milne's fat face shook and showed a sneer, "Empress, don't worry about this, I will let him die without knowing how to die. But I can't figure out what is in Arthur that is worthy of attention from the organization?"
The man in black suddenly became cold, "You worked for the organization, and the organization has not treated you badly for these years, but you must remember the rules you should understand. Don't ask random questions if you shouldn't know, because some secrets will die faster after you know them."
"Yes, the envoy taught me a lesson." Even though Milne was a count, he looked respectful in front of the envoy of this mysterious organization.
"Okay, I will arrange the subsequent actions. You just need not show your feet and hold him back." After saying that, the man in black stood up and was about to leave.
"The envoy will stay in the castle tonight, I have arranged everything." Milne advised flatteringly.
"The earl has received his wish, but the organization has its own rules."
"Since that's the case, I'll send you a lord." Milne stood up and walked towards the door with the man in black.
"What should I do? Let the other party leave or do it?" Arthur, who was hiding outside the door, wanted to make a decision in an instant.
"Sir, please." Milne smiled and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, a figure flashed in. A blue light flashed across the blade of the seventh-level short sword "Wolf Kissing the Blue" and headed straight for the throat of the man in black beside Milne.
The spirit of adventure once again affected Arthur's decision-making. Since the other party has come to the door, he must first take action and never give the other party a chance to ambush himself. No matter what level the black messenger on the opposite side is, Arthur decided to take a chance.
Arthur's attack was too sudden. Neither Milne nor the man in black expected that the sudden assassination would be seen as the door was pulled open. Milne was stunned on the spot and didn't even have time to react. But as the killer, the man in black never relaxed for a moment. He made a move to lean back in the flash, allowing Arthur to leave with a knife.
While Arthur's right hand was empty, he raised his left hand and a second-level dark magic "Ball of Weakness" was thrown on the man in black. At the same time, his right wrist turned from cut to stab, stabbing the man in black.
After dodging a knife, the man in black stepped back with his left leg and kicked his right leg forward, preparing to kick Arthur away with his tilt.
But the "Ball of Weakness" hit the body, and the instantaneous sense of powerlessness slowed down his kicking and dodging speed. Arthur's short sword used this opportunity created by a slight difference to stab into the body of the man in black.
As the short sword entered the body, Arthur felt the resistance from the tip of the knife, and the other party was wearing close-fitting armor!
The armor still failed to block the sting of the level seven weapon, but it also saved the man in black's life because the resistance blade could not instantly penetrate the heart of the man in black.
The man in black pulled Milne over and blocked him, and at the same time he retreated quickly.
Arthur kicked Milne over with one foot, and raised his hand and a large fog rose up, instantly covering himself and the whole room in black mist.
Because of the dark magic element piercing the body in the Battle of Sighs last year, Dark Magic has now become the most skilled magic Arthur uses in addition to fire magic.
"Dark Magician!" The black-clothed messenger screamed from the black fog.
"Come on, there is an assassin!" Milne shouted for help in the black fog. After the initial panic, he remembered to call someone.
Milne shouted only twice, and the cry for help came to an abrupt end.
The black mist rolled, and black tentacles wrapped around the man in black.
The man in black covered his chest with one hand, and a black sharp and thin sword in his other hand sucked and sucked the fighting spirit, cutting off the black tentacles.
A figure rushed over from the slant, and the short sword fighting spirit in the man in black exploded, and dozens of sword energy shot out at once. The fighting spirit skills covered the whole body of the figure who was rushing towards him.
Puff, puff, and the sword energy kept entering the body, but there was no scream on the other side. A short and fat corpse fell in front of the man in black.
Chapter completed!
