Chapter 26, Holy Slash!

PS: Watching the game, watching the game, recasting the glory of EDG... Can you win first?Autumn pear paste!

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the sun has begun to set, and the alleys in the upper city of Suzal are slightly dim.

An elite rogue lurks in the shadows of the alley, weapons at the ready under his cloak.

A poisoned dagger, three poisoned darts, three daggers for throwing, and a sharp small ax specially used for piercing armor, this rogue is ready.

He confirmed the target again, yes, it was the one appointed by the employer, Viscount Cormyr named Aaron Salian.

The employer also told him that he would never admit his mistake. The wanderer thought it was a joke, but after he confirmed the target, he understood why the employer would say that.

Sorry buddy, it's not that I want to kill you, but someone is paying for your life!
When he thought of the box of gold coins, 300 Cormyr Golden Lion coins engraved on the back of the former King Asan IV's photo, as well as the clipper by the port and his new identity, the wanderer felt that this deal do it.

He needs money, needs it badly, loitering is a profession that leads a shady life, they make a living in the gray areas of the city, from criminal professions such as burglars, pickpockets, robbers, assassins, con men to private investigators, thugs, investigators, Commercial espionage is a profession that wanders on the edge of the law, and wanderers are always looking for wealth and treasures everywhere.

With this money, he can go to Zambia in the east or Tumis in the south to live a new life, or go to the Sword Coast and Amn, isn't it just a change of face?
He saw Lord Viscount walking into the middle of the alley, and he looked back suspiciously, which surprised the wanderer.

Fortunately, Lord Viscount did not find him. On the contrary, he saw no one behind him, so he slipped into the depths of the alley, then turned his back to himself, did a job of untying his belt, raised his head, and a stream of water flowed from the Viscount Your Excellency pours from the waist down.

snort!This person's family education is really bad, even the nobleman!How is his performance different from those gangsters in the slums?
Since you are this kind of rubbish, don't blame me!
With dexterous steps and superb stealth, the rogue approached behind Aaron almost effortlessly. He drew out his dagger, and a cold light flashed in the dark alley.

Die!

There was a flash of light, and when the wanderer touched Aaron with only one body distance left, a tongue of flame suddenly sprang up on the ground.

Tzeentch Powder Flame!

The tongue of flame ignited the rogue's trousers, and rushed from under him, and twisted creatures emerged from the flames. They screamed and stretched out their hands to tightly grasp the assassin's legs.

Damn it, it was discovered!The rogue was startled.

Aaron turned around.

It turned out that Lord Viscount didn't pee in the alley at all!

He was just holding a small kettle in his hand.

"Who told you to come here!" Aaron said coldly, "Say it, and I can consider letting you live."

"..." The rogue didn't answer. Seeing that the opportunity for a sneak attack was lost, the dagger flipped, and the fire horror's body was broken in two. The assassin resisted the pain and burns of his legs, and threw a smoke to the ground. Bomb, back quickly.

Shua~shua~ There was a sound of piercing in the air, and two daggers flew towards him with the help of smoke. Aaron had no choice but to give up the pursuit, and the Viscount rolled on the ground indifferently.

Ding~dang~ The dagger fell to the ground, splashing a string of sparks.

Standing up again, the wanderer had disappeared.

Aaron squinted his eyes. He drew out the standard long sword at his waist, prepared a spell with the other hand, and carefully looked around. The viscount was expressionless, and his brain was running crazily.

Assassination?

who is it?Is it Cyric, Prince of Darkness?Was it Sharp before?Or the remaining believers of Baal, the Lord of Slaughter?

Aaron ruled out Sharpe first.

It had only been a few hours since Sharp was caught by the Queen's Blade, and it was impossible to buy murder immediately under the surveillance of the Queen's Blade within a few hours.

Prince of Darkness Cyric?
Not like that, Aaron could feel that the assassin was aiming at killing him, and the magician at that time clearly had a chance to kill him, but instead asked for him to be captured alive.

So in the same way, it is impossible for the followers of Baal, the King of Slaughter.

For a moment, Aaron couldn't even figure out who would hire a murderer to take his life!

Just in time, somewhere in the alley, there was a slight muffled noise that kept Aaron on alert. He temporarily gave up thinking and focused his attention on the small environment.

The rogue had dealt with the Tzeentch Horror, his legs hurting his speed.

He recalled his father's teachings.

"Facing rogues, we should try our best to find open terrain. If there is no open terrain, we should try our best to stand still."

"Fighting in motion, the rogue will have an advantage, but if you stand still and fight, the rogue will never be able to defeat the warrior."

"In the same way, use your skills and strength to force the rogue into a protracted battle. You must remember, my son, when a rogue fails to hit the target with the first blow, then he has already lost the battle." It's half done."

Yes, unlike what many people imagined, a rogue is not a profession that is good at fighting.

Rogues are good at adventure, not good at combat.

Besides, you must be surprised by the spells you have never seen before, right?
Aaron didn't dare to relax at all. He has already used two first-ring magic today, and his remaining magic power is running out!
"Pa~" After a brief silence, a tile fell from the air, landed behind Aaron, and shattered.

Aaron didn't turn around to look at the tile at all. He swung his long sword and rushed forward. Sure enough, a gray shadow fell in the air. Between the lightning and flint, the collision between the long sword and the dagger splashed some sparks, and the sharp dagger in the wanderer's hand smoothly Seeing Aaron's back cut all the way to his waist, a big gash was left on his coat, and the tip of Aaron's long sword also tasted the first drop of blood today!

This is not over yet, the two sides crossed each other, the wanderer turned around in the air, two daggers flew out, one dagger passed Aaron's face, and the second dagger hit Aaron's shoulder.

The viscount groaned nonstop, and the clothes on his chest soon became darker, with a layer of dark red printed on it.

The wanderer also clutched his waist, which was bleeding profusely from being hit by Aaron's sword.

"I'll ask you one last time, who sent you here, tell me, I swear in the name of Salian, I can consider letting you live." Aaron said sharply.

"...Can't you feel it? My lord Viscount, your wound must be numb right now?" The wanderer clutched his waist, his expression grim: "Don't blame me, if you want to blame, you should blame me for messing with you. Those who should be offended, now, go to hell!"

Aaron's face was very ugly.

The dagger is poisonous!
His movements were obviously much slower. Seeing this, the wanderer no longer hesitated. He reached into the cloak and threw out three cold lights.

Darts!Aaron quickly rolled to the side to avoid, his movements were obviously much slower in the eyes of the wanderer.

Seizing this opportunity, the wanderer used his last strength to throw his body out. In a few steps, the cloak was thrown across the narrow space of the alley, the dagger was held backwards, and the poisoned cold edge pierced Aaron's body from the side. In the neck, flipped the weapon skillfully, cut a circle along Aaron's throat, pulled it out, and put it in the belt.

thump!
Aaron fell to the ground, blood streaming across the stone pavement.

The wanderer gasped on the spot, and he whispered, "What a difficult... huh!"

The sharp long sword pierced his chest from behind!
"You...you're not dead?" Aaron, who should have had his throat cut off, appeared behind him. He held the long sword tightly in both hands, and his arms were strong. How could he look like a dead man?

"Unfortunately, your pride has blinded you." Aaron said with a smirk, "It's an illusion."

A ring of magic, Slaanesh's dream.

It is also the last spell Aaron can use before resting.

While the two sides were talking, the rogue had already fallen under his spell.

As for poison?Unfortunately, Aaron is not afraid of poison, at least not this kind of poison.

Although the power of Nurgle in his body is still tightly sealed, the power of Nurgle is always there. It just cannot be used, but it does not mean that it will bow to such a weak toxin.

Along the long sword, blood gushed out in large streams. The wanderer suddenly shouted, kicked Aaron's knee, and then let his body get off the long sword, covered his chest with his hands, and crazily moved towards the little boy. Alley exit rushed.

Oops!The long sword did not pierce his heart!
Aaron subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to release the magic, but the exhaustion in his body made him realize that the Slaanesh dream just now was the last magic he could release today!
In this case... Aaron moved his gaze to the ring on his right index finger.

"Hmm!" The ring was activated, and the ruby ​​on it was glowing with blood. With Aaron's painful groan, brand-new magic power flowed back from his fingers to Lord Viscount. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and aimed at the wanderer.

Chaos Missile!

Three colorful light darts whizzed away, without any suspense, the dead wanderer landed, blood flowed out from under his body, soaking the ground under the corpse.

Aaron covered the wound on his shoulder with his hand, slowly moved himself to the wanderer's side, and searched him.

I found nothing but a smoke bomb, 12 Golden Lion coins, 2 Silver Falcon coins, a small handful of copper coins, a crowbar, a set of simple lockpicking tools, and a sharp armor-piercing weapon. Small axe.

Other than that, there was nothing, Aaron didn't even find anything to prove his identity.

Who is it that hired this rogue to assassinate him?

Aaron couldn't find an answer.

That's right, since they hired murderers to deal with him, how could they just leave anything that revealed information?

So, who is it?

Aaron covered his shoulder with his hand, and the dagger was still stuck in his shoulder, bleeding from the outside.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!

The pain in his shoulder made the Viscount grin his teeth, and then a dark thought appeared in his mind.

No matter who is behind the scenes, since you want to make big news in Cormyr's royal city or the upper city so much... I will help you!

Come on, hurt each other!

I will help you make a name for yourself!

Aaron stretched out his hand and activated the effect of the red Conrad Ring again, his face became even paler.

Using his finger to touch his own blood on his shoulder, while the corpse was still hot, Aaron began to draw the holy emblem on the wanderer's body...

5 minute later.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Residents of the upper city of Suzal could clearly feel the vibration of the ground, as well as the sound of heavy objects hitting the building, and the sound of wooden structures shattering.

What's wrong?What happened?
Those who live in the upper city are all rich people, wealthy businessmen, bureaucrats, outstanding craftsmen, and even dignitaries, politicians, high-ranking priests of temples, etc. In the country, these people mean higher professional standards and stronger After all, this is a world where monsters exist in every corner, and even today, there are dragon witch believers who firmly believe that there are still several dragon tombs underground in Suzar, which store immeasurable wealth.

Due to the decree of the Queen Regent, only nobles with swords in Cormyr could move around the city with weapons, so people began to call for guards, and a few of those who wore weapons had already put their hands on the hilts of their swords.

Within a few seconds, people identified the source of the sound—in an alley.

A handsome handsome guy in viscount costume stumbled out of the alley, he covered his shoulder with one hand and held a long sword in the other, with a frightened expression and many signs of damage on his body: " Guards! Guards! There are monsters!"

The people on the street knew that he was a local nobleman from Cormyr at a glance, and immediately lost their hostility towards him, and then the monster that rushed out from the alley greatly overturned human cognition.

What kind of twisted existence is this? It has a height of [-] meters, and its body looks like a big meat ball wrapped in rags. Only a distorted human face can be vaguely seen in the middle of the meat ball. A few thick tentacles protruded from the gaps between the layers of meat, waving around, hitting the nearby buildings, splashing smoke and dust.

What is this?
There are many well-informed elite adventurers among the people in the upper city, but the big meat ball in front of them has far exceeded their imagination.

"Guards!" His Excellency Viscount Cormyr continued to call for help. He swung his sword backwards to cut a wound on the surface of the big meat ball, rolled and dodged the sweeping tentacles dangerously, and continued to call for help.

Now everyone understood that the noble was attacked.

At this time, a team of guards has also rushed to the scene.

This is the upper city, where dignitaries live. Not only are there more guards here, they are more elite, and their reaction speed is far faster than the patrolling soldiers in the lower city. When the guards saw this huge monster, they immediately stayed in place. Arrayed, the crossbowman pulled the trigger, and several sharp crossbow bolts hit the monster, piercing into its body surface, and blood flowed from the wound.

Seeing this, the chief guard calmed down a bit, and nodded repeatedly, thinking that this monster would not be difficult to deal with, he made two gestures, signaling the pikemen to approach, surrounded by sword and shield hands, and hurried to rescue the nobleman at the same time.

At the same time, the chief guard's heart was also cold.

what is the problem?Why does this happen in your defense zone?
This is Cormyr, and this is Uptown Suzal!
As the chief guard of myself, it is estimated that I will be the end, and the princess regent will never forgive those who neglect their duties lightly.

Now, I can only hope that I can save this noble lord, let him say a few good words for me, and see if I can be punished lightly.

"Roar~ roar!" Another crossbow arrow pierced the body of this big meat ball. It roared crazily without any reason, and half-walked and half-crawled against more than a dozen bleeding wounds on its body. It shook and shook.

The reinforcements arrived, and several guards with shields and long swords protected Aaron and retreated, but the Chaos Egg obviously didn't intend to end like this. It stretched out its long tentacles and swung them across, killing the three sword and shield soldiers. Fly out on the spot.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed, and a fully armed knight without a helmet rushed out from the crowd!
"Step aside!"

The knight in the purple dragon robe held a half-handed sword tightly in both hands. In the eyes of everyone, streaks of white-gold light shrouded the sword, and the sacred fire took shape in the air.

"FOR The Loyal Fury! For Tom!"

The blade of the sword flashed, and under the blessing of light, the hand-made sword cut horizontally and hit the Chaos Egg's chest. The sacred power exploded in the layers of flesh, and the Chaos Egg was killed on the spot!

Aaron, who was lying on the ground, couldn't restrain the surprise in his heart.

It's a paladin!

It's the holy cut!
