Chapter 217 Good sisters should empathize
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Larrel shouted excitedly and shook her head frantically, as if if she shook her head any harder, what Annie had just said would not be true.
"Ms. Larrel, what the Paladin maid said... is indeed true."
Percy, the city lord's personal guard, told Larriel the truth with a gloomy expression that he was most reluctant to believe.
"Lord Xiuman... has indeed raised a team of disfigured assassins - the Faceless Assassins under the Glory."
Percy is a loyal city guard and one of the best guards of the city lord.
Although Percy is an orphan and a half-human, half-demon abyss species, the original intention of this curly-haired young man has never changed.
The object of his loyalty is Huiyao City, not the Lord of Huiyao City.
At this time, the city guard was feeling a little upset that he did not stand up and testify immediately.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had any illusions about Xiuman..."
Patting the injured guy on his body, Alvin signaled him not to think too much.
“The most important thing now is to keep everyone safe, isn’t it?
Besides Larrel, was anyone else attacked?"
"Oh no!"
Before Ivan could finish his words, a halfling ran in in a panic, and his exclamation attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh no, Annie! Prisoners, all prisoners..."
"Oops!"
Ivan's heart suddenly tightened.
"That old lickspittle Leia is still in the prisoner area!"
……
Leia now felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have run back to the prisoner area and asked a bunch of guys who knew nothing about anything.
In the afternoon battle, Leia didn't contribute anything at all because of Ivan.
After visiting the talkative human for a while, Leia, feeling a little bored, returned to the prisoner area.
It is said that an adventurer living on the edge of Huiyao City saw groups of migrating moon elves.
Leia came out this time to look for the survivors of the Elf Courtyard.
As a result, not long after they started talking, a dark shadow rushed in and started killing people.
If Leia hadn't triggered the [Spell Sequencing] on his body, which allowed him to cast a bunch of defensive spells and then escape in stealth, he would probably have fallen to the ground like the people in the prisoner area.
Hiding far behind a house, Leia saw the black-clad assassin completely leave, then she hurriedly ran to the small building where Ivan had been before.
Although the old licker is a high-level mage, the combat ability of a research-type mage is inherently weak.
Plus, the opponent is a very powerful assassin.
What the Master Mage fears most are warriors of higher rank than himself, archers of the same rank, and assassins who can kill him regardless of their rank.
I had originally intended to seek some security from that guy named Ivan, but it turned out that Ivan was not there at all;
Leia could only stay with Lian who was on night watch, and endure Lian's gossip that would never stop.
……
By the time Alvin and his team arrived at the prisoner area, the sky was already turning light.
The mornings approaching spring are more lively than usual.
The early birds are catching worms, and scavenger birds that don’t like to eat bugs are circling over the captive area.
"All dead!"
Percy checked the bodies scattered around the prisoner area one by one and shook his head helplessly.
"They were all killed in one strike. This assassin is probably much more powerful than the one we encountered."
"Not the same person?"
This is what Alvin is most worried about.
"No, the shape of the wound is different from the one on my arm."
Percy raised his arm, the wound on it was neat and smooth.
But those on the ground basically had a jagged cut on their throats.
"It's over now. Except for Larriel, the entire First Investigation Team was wiped out..."
Percy lifted a corpse and leaned it against the wall, trying his best to cover the hideous wound on the neck, as if to help this human who had been dead for a long time retain the last bit of dignity.
Ivan is a little panicked now.
Just now I thought the assassin was a guy who could be dealt with by Larriel's three hammers, but now there is another ruthless guy who can kill dozens of prisoners by himself.
The assassin is a thief by profession, a thief with superb combat skills.
As the old saying goes on Blue Star, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about stealing.
Moreover, this assassination attempt did not seem to be aimed at the Nields - neither the leading ministers of non-combat professions who were more successful, nor Annie's halfling patrol, none of them were safe now.
It just so happens that Xiling and I are not from Nield.
Alvin said nothing and turned away.
He had to stay by Xiling's side, as the slow-witted Lian might not even be able to spot such an assassin.
The others were also a little nervous by the corpses all over the ground. Seeing Ivan jogging away, they followed him.
Before he approached the small building where Xiling was, Alvin heard Lian's sharp noise coming from inside.
"Teacher Licking Dog, you don't know how many times Fulei was bullied by Ivan in our base...
Especially the time when Frey was resurrected from the dead into an elf, she screamed miserably.
I was blushing when I heard it outside, probably...
That pervert Ivan was alone in there at the time, and he must have been making noises...
Please don't tell my sister!
My sister won't let me say anything bad about that pervert—"
There were a few knocks on the door.
Leia walked to the door nervously, and only after checking the identity of the person outside did she open the door with peace of mind.
"That pervert" pushed the door open with an expressionless face.
He first checked on Xiling who was sleeping soundly, and after finding that everything was fine, he walked over to Lian with an expressionless face.
"Ha, ha, good morning, brother-in-law..."
Knowing that the rumors she had spread were heard clearly by Ivan, Little Lian used the skills she had just learned from Annie, which she was still very unskilled in.
The short half-elf tilted his neck and leaned forward, trying hard to open his eyes wide so that the legendary clear stupidity could appear on his face.
Her hands were still fiddling with her pants, but she couldn't seem to find the hem of her skirt for a long time, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Morning, brother-in-law!
I was telling Mr. Leia how comfortable Sister Frey is living with us!
Huh? Brother-in-law, what are you doing?
I'm not injured! I don't need any healing spells!
Hey! Sister, save me—Ahhhhhhhhh!”
That morning, Lian finally realized how helpless Frey Xingge was at that time...
……
Above the hanging ladder of the Nield Mine, a dark figure suddenly appeared beside the road.
“Sir, all members of the investigation team have been killed, except for the last priest to join the team.
But I have arranged my most capable men to take her life, so please don't worry."
In the shadows beside the road, a handsome human dressed in aristocratic style silently listened to the report from the black shadow in front of him.
"With daggers like yours that are as sharp as the night...
Xiuman is really...even more terrifying than those old nobles in the capital..."
