Chapter 104
"Damn it, this guy won't really stay in the castle and practice like a tortoise, and come out of the mountain until he has achieved greatness?"

"Hey, I said you can't wait any longer."

A dark red bat was flying over Black Horse Castle, its figure hidden by a strange force.

The sky was a little dark and approaching sunset. The bat overlooked the scene below, and there was a hint of anxiety in its eyes that were too dark to reflect a trace of light.

A golden ring was hooked on its claw, and a playful human voice came from it.

The bat flying in the air is exactly Sherzat.The golden ring was a magical device used to communicate with the assassin's blood knife.

This kind of magic device does not need to be a mass-produced communication device that humans are researching, and is of high value.

Assassination, the most important thing is to grasp the target's movement.

It is naturally feasible to arrange human tracking, but the efficiency is not as good as that of them personally.

Therefore, for the past few days, the two blood races have been spying on Li Yongdong outside the Black Horse Castle in shifts, waiting for the moment when he leaves the Black Horse City.

"Elder, you really can't wait any longer, so why don't you go back to the prison to rest? I'm the only one, and it's completely fine to stare at me for ten days and a half months~"

"Ok?"

The dark red bat suddenly turned its head.

The voice didn't come from the ring. Looking back, the bat transformed by the assassin's blood knife appeared in front of him, and he yawned cutely.

Compared with Sherzat's old-fashioned bat posture, Assassin Blood Knife's bat posture is a bit like a Q version of a pet. If it is motionless, it may even be mistaken for a doll in a crane machine.

It's just... If anyone really thinks this way, he may be swallowed up by his ferocious nature.

"You already guessed it?"

Sherzat asked solemnly.He thought that the Assassin Blood Knife was just joking when he said that he was afraid that he would lose his temper, and that Li Yong would trigger it after staying for two or three days, but in fact... five days passed without any movement, not even the Black Horse Castle came out.

Looking back now, the lazy smile of Assassin Xuedao clearly had a deep meaning.

Assassin Xue Dao smiled and said, "Guess that? No, no, I actually think there's nothing wrong with your idea, Elder.

From our point of view, considering Li Yong Conrad, he who knows too many secrets will definitely be liquidated after the fact, so even if he knows that I may assassinate, in order to survive, he has to take a risky move.

After all, the previous viscount had just died, and if this viscount died suddenly as soon as he succeeded to the throne, the human side would be forced to pay attention to this matter.Once he succeeded in succeeding to the throne, and then carried out the assassination in a blatant manner, leaving traces of "it was done by our blood race", the human side must mobilize forces to personally find out all our compatriots and servants in this area , to warn others.Even if one is not good, it will become the fuse of an all-out war between our two races.

And with the current situation, neither we nor human beings want to go to war at this time.

From this point of view, facing the behemoth of the blood race, he can only protect himself by becoming a respectable figure in the human world. "

Sherzat frowned, what the assassin Xuedao said was exactly what he was thinking.In order to survive, Li Yong had to give it a go, and it was impossible to live here for a long time.

But from the Assassin Xuedao's words, he heard something else, and asked, "You said this is our perspective. Does that mean there are other perspectives?"

The assassin Xuedao chuckled: "Although we came here to kill the rebel, that rebel didn't know that he had become a rebel until now. Maybe he is still persuading Li Yong Konrad, Xu Yi The identity of the divinely favored one and the glorious future. With a way out, this viscount candidate will naturally hesitate."

"Hesitating?"

Sherzat frowned slightly, Li Yong is not a divinely favored person, why hesitate?
But suddenly, he would take it easy: "You mean, it's possible that Li Yong Konrad didn't know that he has dark elf blood?"

"Ice fruit~"

Assassin Xue Dao's eyes moved, full of sarcasm: "If it was just suspicion at the beginning. During the shifts of the past few days, I have already investigated and found out that this Li Yong Konrad is indeed the offspring of human beings. As for this secret Where did the elf blood come from? Perhaps it was a long, long time ago, which generation of ancestors had an affair with the dark elves? To him, there is a little sign of returning to the ancestors. After all, he has no dark elf characteristics on the outside."

Sherzat's eyes lit up, and he had the pleasure of uncovering the mystery: "So, it is very likely that he believed the rebellious words? Because he himself didn't know that he was a dark elf! But... since this is the case, we are here What are you waiting for? He believed the words of rebellion, so he should have thought that he could gain the favor of our clan."

"Hmph, after all, he spent more than ten years as a human being."

Assassin Xuedao laughed mockingly: "Do you want him to easily let go of everything in the past and join the blood race? I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Besides, there is no guarantee that can prove the credibility of the rebellious words. Therefore, he will struggle and struggle, but he will still leave in the end." Come out. Just like each of us, arrogantly thinking that we can control our own destiny!"

Sherzat felt a sense of enlightenment.

Immediately afterwards, the Assassin Xuedao changed the subject and said, "However, I was only skeptical before. It was because you, the elder, mentioned the possibility of the former, that I could draw inferences and think of other possibilities. And, in fact, I I personally feel that the elder's speculation is more reliable, so I didn't mention it before."

These words made Sherzat very useful.I couldn't help but hear Haruna's indifferent and cold attitude.

'Look at others, then look at you!He is much more powerful than you, and he is not as arrogant as you all day long?To fall into this field today is really to blame! '

Thinking of this, Sherzat couldn't help feeling a little happy.

But he couldn't help but forget that the assassin's blood knife teased him, and even offended him a lot.

It's just that he is stronger, his means and technology are strong enough, and his talent and potential are only slightly inferior to his silver-robed elder. He also belongs to a different department and has no direct conflict of interest, so he is naturally regarded as an equal existence.

In addition, Assassin Blood Knife would flatter and say something nice from time to time, even if he joked occasionally, in his eyes, it was just a joke between colleagues with a good relationship.

And what about Harlena?How can he be calm if he doesn't know how to look at his face, but he is still a subordinate who threatens his position?

"Elder, look, isn't it the end of the day? Alas, this time is much earlier than I originally expected. It seems that there must be some mistakes in my previous reasoning. You are still wise, Elder!"

Sherzat looked down in the direction where the assassin's blood knife was shouting, and a carriage with two horses drove out slowly.

Hearing what the Assassin Blood Knife said, he didn't feel that the other party's analysis was wrong, but it became more useful, and the target that had been waiting for several days finally moved, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and praised: "No, no, your analysis is also correct. It must make sense, maybe he just woke up early? Well, let’s stop gossip and let’s catch up.”

The two looked at each other, their wings vibrated, and they followed the carriage leisurely.

Flying, as if thinking of something happy, Sherzat turned into a bat and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, turned his head and smiled at the assassin Xuedao: "By the way, I suddenly remembered what you said just now. I'm afraid they didn't expect , we are actually here to kill the rebels."

Assassin Xuedao chuckled: "They would never have imagined that it wasn't me who made the shot, but the elder and I, the two of us!"

Clearing obstacles and killing rebels are tasks of different levels.

If it was normal, the Council of Elders would never let the silver-robed elders be dispatched so easily to penetrate into human territory.But it is his duty to kill the rebels under his command.

Under the restrictions of the rules, Haruna never thought that Sherzat would make a blatant move.But this time, Sherzat's shot was completely within the rules...

Compared to the happy blood duo above the sky, the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit heavy.

……

"But, master, haven't you made a breakthrough yet?"

Half an hour ago, when Li Yong suddenly made the decision to travel early, a look of astonishment appeared on Haruna's expressionless face.

Even though she had given up persuading Li Yong to stay in Dark Horse City, Haruna still couldn't accept that he planned to advance the time again.

Li Yong felt inexplicably ashamed looking at Harenna who was obviously very resistant but her loyalty had hardly changed.

After that day, Haruna's loyalty remained unchanged, and she continued to help him practice diligently, but until now, he seemed to have ignored the results of the other party's help, and arbitrarily decided to suspend his cultivation and leave.

But this made him turn cold, and said, "Do you want to object?"

This is something that cannot be explained and cannot be questioned.

If it is exposed, perhaps the loyalty established before will fall short.Moreover, establishing prestige can also widen the psychological distance between each other.Make Haruna more loyal to herself.

In this way, even if one day she realizes that she is not the favored one she was waiting for, she will not fall into boundless pain because of it.

Her soul has been taken into his hands, and she is destined to be unable to resist.

At least... oppressing her with force, causing her to have the idea that she is forced to obey and unable to resist, can actually reduce her future pain.

"No." As Li Yong wished, Haruna immediately lowered her head.

Li Yong sighed softly in his heart. He acted differently as before when he faced Fei Ya, but he suddenly felt that he was a little hypocritical.

But he knew that Harena's wish would never come true, and he would never be able to join the blood clan.

Not only to save his life, but also because he no longer wants to be controlled by others.

When he gave Mrs. Chelsea a slap in the face so that the other party would not dare to offend him easily, he suddenly realized something in his heart.

When Luna made her debut on the stage, the people who had been flattering all dared not refuse, that understanding turned into a trace of desire.

When Mira fell from the sky and destroyed the winning situation created by him and Claire in one fell swoop, the slight desire began to take root.

He clearly realized the pleasure of doing what he wants, rather than relying on the breath of others, and the deterrence brought by power.

The happiness that I had never experienced in the past spread like a poison, and it was out of control, and I could never forget it!

He began to wish that instead of relying on Luna as a backer, he would rely on his own strength to make them bow their heads in convincing.

And when he saw the person who was so arrogant that he didn't even want to look at him, but lightly erased the injustice he had suffered, and then even felt unlucky if he stepped on it, he apologized calmly, but his heart was in harmony with him. On the contrary, I came up with a thought that can be called arrogant-I want her to lower her proud head and pay the price for her arrogance!
From the bottom of my heart, a voice gradually rose up, telling myself constantly: Don't be like the past, willing to endure humiliation, willing to depend on others, just to live on.

He wants to control his own destiny.

……

Sitting in the carriage, Li Yong looked at Haruna driving ahead through the window. He didn't need to walk in front of her to imagine the gloomy expression on the other side, and knew that there was an invisible thick wall separating the two of them. middle.

At the beginning, he was wary of Harena, but after she helped her several times, he couldn't help but treat her as a companion.

Now, like waking up from a big dream, he realizes belatedly that from the moment he signed the contract with Haruna and squeezed each other's life, they will never be able to understand each other and become truly capable. A day of heart-to-heart companionship.

As if aware of Li Yong's mood, Kaya, who was sitting next to Li Yong in the carriage, silently put her small hand on the back of Li Yong's hand. When he turned his head to look, he happened to meet Kaya's innocent pair of Eye.

"Thank you."

Li Yong couldn't help but thanked him, but didn't expect any response. Who knows, Kaya, who seldom said a word in three days and only nodded and shook her head when she was practicing, suddenly said crisply: "Brother, I believe in you."

It was clearly a sentence so concise that the meaning was unclear, but Li Yong understood the true meaning of her words with a tacit understanding.

——I believe that you are not venting your depression and ordering you arrogantly. Everything you do must have its meaning.

She may not be able to express such meaning in words, but through her quiet and trusting eyes, Li Yong can understand her thoughts.

An unspeakable emotion suddenly surged in my heart.

"Thank you."

Thousands of words, finally turned into a soft thank you on the lips.

The sentimentality in his heart was gently brushed away, and his eyes gradually became firmer.

If he can continue to become stronger and stronger enough to set the rules for all races, then the current barrier will naturally dissipate by then.

It is man-made, and the problems that are difficult to solve and the contradictions that cannot be eliminated may just be because he is not strong enough!
The first priority now is to deal with the possible assassination and return to Maple Leaf Town!
The sun set early, and the sky was completely dark. The carriage not only drove out of the Black Horse City, but also traveled more than ten kilometers on the official road, and came to a hilly area with undulating terrain.

At such a distance, even if the two silver powerhouses in Dark Horse City sensed the fluctuations in the battle, even if they rushed to the scene, they would not be able to track due to the limited terrain.What's more... It's more likely that at this distance, they won't start tracking at all.

The assassin hidden in the dark finally waited for the best time.
