Chapter 0144 Assassination of the Great Demon King Annie (3)(1/2)
The Grand Manager Shannox slowly came to the Queen's restaurant with some documents, and was preparing to report to their Queen Anne for a comprehensive offensive against the entire northern continent after the destruction of Archmond in the coming year.
Every day, only at this time of supper can it have the chance to report some things in the Kingdom of Flame to Her Majesty. At other times, little Anne is either sleeping in and rejecting anyone's disturbance; or playing and disappearing. At that time, no one will know where their queen will go...
Now, Lana, the queen's personal maid and female official, was placing exquisite tableware at the dining table, and Shannox couldn't help but nod. If you look at it this way, it was just right. Just wait a while before their queen will appear, right? Then, while she was eating, she listened to her muttering, it was almost a practice in the Kingdom of Flame.
"Lana, why do you prepare only one dinner? What about that...a little human girl named Vanessa?"
After looking patiently for a while, Shannox couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the maid Lana, who only placed a dishware and a dinner. Logically speaking, during the usual meals, did Her Majesty the Queen have dinner with the little girl she rescued? Why... I put one today?
"Sister Vanessa won't control it at all after she received the shadow power given by Her Majesty the Queen!"
"So, she was sent to Quel'thalas to learn the knowledge of shadows and the skills of assassin from a master of the High Elves. It is said that at that time, some training content of rangers will be involved, and I don't know much about this... Anyway, Her Majesty the Queen said that Sister Vanessa will definitely not be able to come back within three to five years."
Lana also felt a little sad about Little Vanessa's departure. She finally had a friend who could talk to her. Unfortunately, Vanessa seemed gloomy all day long.
Especially after she gained the power of the shadow, her whole body became even more terrifying!
Lana didn't know whether the shadow knowledge studied by the higher elves could change her back, hopefully, right?
According to the permanent ambassador of the High Elf Kingdom, their high elves had already started researching them as early as the end of the Second Orc War. Over the years, they have gained a lot, and have a relatively detailed understanding of the power of shadows. There is no problem in teaching a little human girl.
But... Her Majesty the Queen was really messy at that time!
How could she forcefully stuff that terrible seed of power into a little girl so casually? Lana felt that pure darkness was so terrible just by looking at it!
"Oh...shadow..."
Shannox nodded and stopped asking. He was too lazy to worry about a little human girl who had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Fire, but just asked casually.
But although their fire element has not been studied for the power of shadows, they can be said to be the first to come into contact with this power in the world of Azeroth. You must know that in those tens of thousands of years ago, their four elemental legions were still serving under the command of the ancient gods, and they were not unfamiliar with this power.
Who are the ancient gods? They are evil seeds split from the Great Lord of the Void (Shadow). The most unabashed thing they have is the twisted shadow power.
Shannox was quite surprised at the beginning that Her Majesty the Queen also controlled the power of shadows, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.
Who is their Queen Anne? That is the super genius of the world number one Azeroth, the Goddess of Fire descends to earth. Isn’t it normal to know anything at all?
After thinking about it for a while, Shannox just half-squinted his eyes, stood beside the Queen's dining table, quietly waiting for them to come back. At that time, it will be its daily reporting time.
...
On a spacious street in the biodistrict of the City of Fire, in the horrifying eyes of some tourists or dwarves of the other tribes, humans and high elves, the three handles of the two trolls were painted with various poisonous daggers, and they stabbed Anne's neck and waist hard.
Be accomplished?
It's done!!
After the attack, the two trolls looked at each other with ecstasy. From the moment, from the slightest stagnation of the dagger entering the human body, they could clearly feel that it was definitely the feeling of a weapon entering the human body, and there would be no mistake.
They have killed countless people, and as old assassins in Ravenhod Manor, they are definitely familiar with this sense of touch!
They never expected that this mission would be so smooth, which was a bit incredible!
Such a powerful flame wizard actually fell under the hands of both of them? This made the series of plans they had prepared useless, and the contrast was really big!
However, it is normal to think about it carefully. This little girl, no matter how powerful she is, is just an innocent little girl without any guards. Look, she doesn’t bring a single guard when she goes out. It’s really unreasonable that she will not die!
After looking at each other, the two thieves suddenly pulled out a dagger from each other, preparing to avoid the splashing blood, then turned around and left invisibly, leaving this dangerous city as quickly as possible!
After all, this is the core territory of the Flame Kingdom, and there are countless troops and strong people! Even those powerful fire element life are described as tens of thousands. Now, after doing such a big thing, if they don’t run away, they will probably not have to run away again in a while. At that time, they will wait to be burned to ashes by the angry fire element!
Strange? This is not right!
The two troll thieves who were just about to forcefully sneak into the shadow to escape the scene were surprised to find that the little girl was standing there blankly, and the three wounds on her body did not spew out any blood? Could it be that the other party was not actually a human? But just a fire element life covered with human skin?
However, the information obtained by Ravenhoud showed that the other party was indeed a little human girl! What was going on? Or, what was strange about the other party's body?
If that is the case, I'm afraid that the two attacks they just now will not be too fatal. In this case, should we go up and make a few more stabs? Or would it be safer to cut off her head directly?
"Not good! This is just an arcane mirror, I'm fooled!"
Just as the two trolls were about to finish the blow again and cut off the head of the target, they suddenly realized that something was wrong with the little girl's body! She actually began to decompose little by little and turn into blue arcane dust, and finally disappeared into the air quickly, leaving nothing behind!
It turned out that what they had just attacked was just the arcane mirror cast by the little girl, and it was an extremely real mirror entity, which made the two trolls almost think that they had succeeded easily just now!
However, what they wondered was that they didn't see the little girl casting movements or omens just now... So, how did she complete casting and transfer position in an instant? This is incredible! And, the most important thing is: where is her body now?
When they saw the mirror dissipate, the two trolls and assassins began to look around with eager eyes, up and down, left and right, trying to find clues of the target. They also lamented in their hearts, and sure enough, the other party's strength and intelligence should be the same. This powerful existence cannot be easily obtained by both of them. The generous first kill bonus is not something they can easily obtain.
So, now, that little girl, that fire queen, where is she?
Not only did the two trolls start searching around, but even the goblins over there and the few humans who have been pretending to eat have begun to scan around with their sinister gaze.
There is not much time left for them. They must completely kill the opponent's flame queen before the fire elements react, and then leave the city as fast as possible!
"There are assassins!!!"
When Ravenhoud's Assassin's Stop was trying to search for the disappeared little girl for a second, the people around who were still shocked finally came to their senses amid the screams of some human or dwarf.
The next moment, those without any force screamed and fled out desperately.
A few mages of high elves began to prepare for casting spells, while other dwarves or strong and self-reliable human nobles drew out their weapons, intending to give these two trolls who were trying to assassinate their leader of the Fire Alliance!
Unfortunately, before they had time to attack the two trolls, they were hit hard by the assassin accomplices around them with various props to hit their heads. Just like the three old Johns before, they fainted on the ground with a stick.
Compared to direct killing, this kind of slap is more popular among these assassins.
Because this way, not only can a person lose all the power of resistance, but he also does not have to worry about the death counterattack launched by the other party after being fatally attacked.
Besides, in order to ensure the absolute success of the mission, their weapons were covered with various precious poisons, and those things that were comparable to gold and even more expensive, but they didn't want to waste them on these little fish.
It turns out that there are dozens of assassins hidden nearby!
These have been exposed. What if those who have not been exposed and are still sneaking? Now, after seeing another incident, for the sake of their own life, no one dared to stay here to watch the battle. They began to scatter and shouted loudly in horror to escape.
"Hurry up! Find her out as fast as possible! Otherwise, we will retreat directly!"
At this time, the two goblins in front of the stall finally stopped pretending, kicked the stall open and shouted sharply. Now, everyone here has almost begun to escape, and they continue to pretend to corrupt here, which has no meaning!
Just as a group of Ravenhod's assassins took out their weapons and tried to find the location for the assassination target, little Annie finally couldn't help but emerge.
If she didn't come out again, she would find these people all day, and they might not be able to find her! Besides, she was not afraid of them, so why would she continue to hide? That would be too boring and not fun?
"Hey, I said, are you... looking for me?"
As a crisp and silly voice sounded, little Annie's figure began to appear on the lamppost of a huge flame street lamp. She just sat there carelessly, swaying her little feet, and staring naughtyly at the killers below who were trying to search for her.
They actually wanted to assassinate themselves? Annie felt that they were probably a little too naive!
In fact, a long time ago, not only Anne herself discovered it, but even her bear Tibers reported the locations of these people one by one. In addition to the twenty people below, there were also those sneaking in the surrounding houses, at least the same number! These people really put in a lot of effort to assassinate themselves. Look! There are nearly fifty assassins.
So, just now, Little Anne deliberately walked into their encirclement.
Since she has made such a big formation, wouldn’t it be a pity if she doesn’t go up and play? Anyway, she has more ability to save her life. Whether it is various shields, flash teleportation and escape, or time gems, she has too many methods to count, so how could she be afraid of them? This does not exist at all!
If she is really angry, just throw the bear Tibers down, and they will all be done? If they don’t run away, Tibers will only need a few tricks to deal with them!
"She is there! Attack with all her might!"
After Anne spoke and showed herself, a human man who seemed to be the leader of the Ravenhoud assassin quickly shouted viciously. Then, the next moment, their various ranged attacks attacked the little Anne sitting on the lamppost...
Knife fan!
Countless small flying knives that were quenched with various poisons rushed towards Annie's position.
Poisonous Blade!
Other assassins also began to throw the poison-tempering weapons in their hands directly towards Anne above the stone pillar.
They just wanted to force her down with this and then launch a fatal close attack, but, beyond their expectations, all of these attacks hit?
Unfortunately, before they had time to be happy, the other person's figure began to slowly decompose, and also turned into waves of arcane dust, and quickly dissipated in the air.
Damn it! It's still a mirror?!
The thieves began to lament in their hearts, indeed, assassinating the magicians is the most annoying... Once they cannot kill one blow, and if these magicians are prepared, they will have countless strange countermeasures or methods of escape!
"Ahhh! Actually, I'm here!"
Annie appeared on the other side of the street. Unfortunately, she had just finished speaking. In the seemingly empty street behind her, an assassin in a shadow suddenly jumped out, and then his vicious battle blade swept directly towards Annie's fine white and pink neck.
Unfortunately, after Anne was beheaded, there was still no blood, and it also turned into a dissipated dust. This is still just an arcane mirror...
"Ahhh! Are you fooled? Actually, I'm here!"
Another Annie appeared on the balcony railing of a house. She just supported the railing, and also swayed her two little feet, sitting on it naughtyly.
Then, the next moment, a sleeve arrow shot from the side pierced her head from the temple on one side, turning her into a piece of arcane dust again.
"Hey! I'm here!"
"I'm real, I'm here!"
"Don't trust her, they are all fake, I'm real!"
"They are all talking nonsense! They are all fake, I'm the real one!"
"Ni Zukai! I am the real one!"
"No! I am!"
More than a dozen identical little Annie appeared, all of whom were stunned by the assassins...
