Chapter 55: [Pale Shadow] and [Iron Mountain] (seeking to follow up)
Chapter 55 [Pale Shadow] and [Iron Mountain] (for further reading)
Based on the principle that he would rather kill by mistake than let him go, Li Wei tortured the soldier who had been sneaking away in the middle of the night to extract a confession.
Finally, it was discovered that this soldier was indeed an insider, an undercover agent bought by the voice of the dead bird to facilitate the assassination.
And it’s been a while since Knight Fred left the castle to report to the agent of the Voice of the Dead Bird.
Then the assassin took advantage of Knight Fred's departure, entered Levi's castle at night, and assassinated him.
Of course, what the undercover agent didn’t tell the broker of the Voice of the Dead Bird was that Li Wei had already advanced to the rank of knight, because it wasn’t long before Li Wei became a formal knight, and only he and Fred knew about it, which caused the assassin to capsize in the gutter.
But the undercover agent didn't know who the big client who assassinated him was.
The Voice of the Dead Bird is a professional team after all, and it does a very good job of keeping clients' secrets.
But since the assassin can be invited many times, even a middle-level knight, this also shows that the mastermind behind the scenes is likely to be the same as what Levi and Fred Knight guessed.
"Duke of Montenegro!"
Li Wei squinted his eyes, with a murderous intent, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
The Duke of Montenegro can invite an assassin twice, which means that this person will never give up until he achieves his goal.
With the strength and status of the Duke of Montenegro, Li Wei can imagine how difficult his future will be.
Now it is the Duke of Montenegro who did not take action against himself due to the apparent law, but after discovering that the two assassin operations failed.
Li Wei didn't know what extraordinary things the Duke of Montenegro would do.
All Li Wei can do now are two things.
One is to give up the territory and the status of the lord, and wander the world from then on, avoiding the pursuit of the Duke of Montenegro.
The second is to continue to be the lord of the Blackwater Valley, but there will be headaches in the future.
In the end, Li Wei decided to take one step at a time. Both solutions have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to make a decision for the time being.
He will be able to become an intermediate knight soon, and now that he has a lot of gold coins, he can start to expand the military strength of the territory.
With his current strength, unless the Duke of Montenegro commits suicide, there is no problem in escaping.
Finally, Li Wei sent the undercover agent to meet the loving father of heaven.
"It's still not careful enough. The review of soldiers will be stricter in the future, Fred." Levi said to Fred.
"I'm sorry, young master, this is my negligence, and this kind of thing will never happen again." Fred was extremely guilty and felt very uncomfortable.
As the knight of Master Li Wei, I did not fulfill my obligation and duty to protect the young master. I am ashamed of the master!
"It's okay, I just need some time, not too long, I will make these people who want me dead regret it!"
"By the way, Fred, don't forget to help me find out about the giant's breathing method and the Mellon family. This matter must be done secretly."
Li Wei returned to the shelter and continued to practice breathing.
Not to mention being missed by others, even if the end of the world is coming, don't delay your practice of breathing, and the liver will be done.
…
Somewhere in the Emerald Kingdom, in a gloomy and dark black castle, rows of black crows stood on the roof of the castle, and groups of black crows hovered in the dim yellow sky above the castle.
The entire castle exudes an aura of death and oppression.
In the castle's underground wine cellar, a gloomy, pale, slender and well-proportioned noble man was tasting the fine wine he had collected for many years.
He picked up a glass of Blood Roland wine and went to the balcony on the second floor of the castle. A red-eyed crow fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder, on the crow's leg, with letters tied.
Red-eyed crows are faster and more accurate communication pets than carrier pigeons. There are not many in the organization. They are mainly used to contact some big customers or confidants.
He opened the letter, and there was no signature in it. It said:
"Dear Pale Shadow Your Excellency, I didn't want to write to disturb you, a shadow-level assassin, but the task I entrusted to your organization some time ago, your organization has not responded to me yet. Judging from the information I have so far , the one I want to erase seems to be still alive and well.
If your organization is not capable of completing such a simple task, then I have serious doubts about your organization's professionalism,
I will give your organization one last chance. If I cannot complete my task, my cooperation with your organization may also come to an end.
Alas, the inheritance of the Knight of Thousand Faces should not have failed like this..."
Seeing this, the pale nobleman's face was gloomy. He was holding on to the stone railing with his right hand. On the palm of his hand, surging black air emerged from his fingertips and unexpectedly left his body. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if the nails on his right hand suddenly Grow and become sharp nails like a vampire.
There are many scratches on the stone railings, which are deeply imprinted.
A moment later, the pale nobleman wrote on the blank parchment with a quill:
"Send out the gold-medal assassin Tieshan to continue the task of assassinating Baron Levi. No matter what method is used, this task is never allowed to fail!"
"—— Pale Shadow"
Then, the red-eyed crow took the letter and flew into the distance.
The pale noble's complexion is ugly, even now, he can't understand it.
Then how Baron Levi survived two assassinations.
The Illusory Demon Knight is a bronze medal assassin and that's all if he fails.
The Bernard Knight is a silver medal assassin. They told the voice of the dead bird. There are only thirty silver medal assassins, and each one is very precious.
But Knight Bernard not only failed the assassination, he actually died?
Now Pale Shadow doesn't know whether it was an external force that intervened or Baron Levi killed Knight Bernard himself.
If it's the former, he can understand it, but if it's the latter, it's a little unbelievable.
"Six years ago, he was just a coward who threw away his armor and sacrificed his land to save his life because he lost his asylum. Is six years... enough to make such a big change?" Pale Shadow muttered to himself.
As the voice of the death bird, a shadow-level assassin, one of the five shadows.
He himself doesn't care about Baron Levi. In his opinion, the only thing he can remember about Baron Levi is that he is the son of the famous Black Snake Knight, but that's all.
However, he must care about the reputation of the organization and maintain the organization's high professional standards and good reputation in the industry. , who are almost standing on the top of the pyramid.
And the voice of the dead bird is also inseparable from the cooperation with this client, so he must not lose this client.
Tieshan is a gold medal assassin who has risen to fame in the organization over the years. He is a high-ranking knight who is only 30 years old. He is the illegitimate son of a great nobleman. It is also possible that its overall strength ranks among the top five among the twelve gold medal assassins in the organization.
If Tieshan can't complete the task, then the only one in the organization who can complete the assassination is "Suicide Five Shadows".
However, as the leader of the organization, the minimum number of people who are dispatched to assassinate each time are at the earl level.
If the matter progresses to the point where he himself is dispatched to assassinate a brat.
Pale Shadow may need to think carefully about the disbandment of the Voice of the Dead Bird. Everyone goes back to their respective homes and what to do.
They can no longer embarrass the old man of the knight of a thousand faces.
Thanks to Cao Dahua for 2000 rewards, and Li Deliberate for 100 rewards, thank you!
