Alien world

Chapter 1025 Chapter 256. Shadow
The shadow assassin eavesdropped on their conversation for a long time.

Annan then remembered that there was an assassin imprisoned next door who had not yet been executed.

Baal had completely forgotten about him... he was just a useless assassin after all.

"Do you want to get rid of it?" Maria acted as a guard.

"No...no, I am loyal to you and Lord Baal!"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Know...or...not! Master Olme, the head of the Purification Court..." The assassin changed his words several times.

"I don't believe you." Annan shook his head: "You were working for Baal before? I know you assassins. If you lose, you will bear a grudge. If you win, you will take revenge."

"No, Lord Annan, I... I am a good person. I just couldn't stand the brutal killings of the Shadow Guards, so I broke away from them and followed Lord Baal..."

He still couldn't forget Baal. It seemed that the two guys abandoned by the mainstream had a lot of common topics.

"Really?"

"Biginar is really true!"

Annan went to the next cell. "Shadow" was an ordinary man who couldn't help himself if thrown into the street, at least that's how he looked.

"Tell me about Shadow Guard."

"Uh……"

"Prefer not to say?"

"No, no, absolutely not! I... I'm wondering where to start..."

When Shadow was still a shadow guard, he was taught that the shadow guards were the shadows of the Montreal family, knights, and loyal servants. They followed the Montreal Golden Family out of Wilhelm, and one of them followed the royal family of the Kingdom of Recan to the North...

Annan felt that they were bragging. It was not that the Shadow Guards did not exist, but that Rickanel's Shadow Guards had nothing to do with the Empire's Shadow Guards.

"If the Shadow Guard is as strict as you said...how did you escape from it?"

Shadow hesitated: "Can I not say it?"

"No."

"Well... I didn't pass the screening and was kicked out." Shadow was dejected.

Barr was really badly deceived.

"What do you think of Bal?" Annan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Bar... Lord Bar is a good man. He took me in and told me what he thought and what he did."

Shadow didn't say anything bad about his old master, so he got away with it.

As for asking him to do the work...

"What are you going to do?"

Shadow was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that Annan was going to let him go. He was shaking with excitement. "I will use all my skills to sneak in front of Sheafield without anyone noticing. Tell him that Master Olme asked me to say hello to you!"

"This is an assassination, an assassination that cannot be known to anyone." Annan regretted it before it even started.

"Wouldn't it be a successful assassination if we killed everyone we saw?"

Well, give him a chance. If he fails, it'll be a warning to Sheafield.

Annan stepped back and motioned his men standing not far away to come and open the door.

As soon as the shadow appeared, he couldn't wait to run behind the soldier, as if someone else had caught him.

"You seem scared?"

Shadow nodded and shook his head, glancing into the depths of the dungeon: "Is there anyone else in the dungeon..."

Annan understood what was happening, stared into the depths of the dungeon, and threw a devil's contract to him.

"Let's take action after signing the contract. Ask my men for anything you need."

After putting away the signed contract, Annan turned his attention back to the middle-aged man.

He asked blankly: "Why did that person call you Lord Annan?"

It is believable that the middle-aged man did not run away but risked his life to come to Purification Court for help.

And Annan didn't hide his identity at all.

"I'm Annan Reeves." Annan said with a smile. The middle-aged man opened his mouth unconsciously and suddenly fell to his knees.

Annan frowned: "Stand up, don't kneel."

"I...you...are in danger..." He spoke incoherently and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Annan somewhat underestimated how sacred he was in the eyes of these Freeblades. He had no choice but to have his men send the middle-aged man out first, let him calm down a bit, and then took Maria to the depths of the dungeon.

The Iron Maiden still sat there, as if she were asleep.

Annan looked at her and said, "Thank you for your help. Let's continue what we didn't finish last night."

Maria's pupils trembled quietly: "Do you want me to avoid it?"

"Huh? No need."

Annan looked at the unresponsive Iron Maiden.

Is it because of the seal that she can only influence others through dreams or something like that?
"You watch over here, I'm going to take a nap."

Maria showed an expression of "as expected".

To her slight disappointment, nothing happened. Annan entered the next cell and began to meditate.

Soon, only two faint breathing sounds were left in the depths of the dungeon... or maybe three.

……

It was broad daylight now, and the weather was so clear that even the snow was showing signs of melting.

But to a true assassin, there is no difference between day and night.

At the entrance of the Upstarts Gang - Sheafield's gang, two gang members were looking at the gate with boredom.

"Ass...my ass..."

At some point, a faint cry for help was heard. The gang members looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man who had fallen down on the street and was screaming in pain.

The two gang members remained indifferent, but few people came to this street and the old man kept shouting.

"Go over and have a look."

The annoyed gang member walked over and kicked the old man who lowered his head: "Get away from here!"

"It hurts...my butt..."

"What's wrong with your butt?" the gang member next to him said.

"My butt is gone..."

"Gone?"

The two gang members stood there in a daze, watching the old man prop himself up and sit up, pointing behind them: "Over there, my butt is on the tree—"

They turned back subconsciously, but there was nothing on the top of the dead tree...

Just as he was about to turn around, two cold rays flashed by, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground.

The shadow covered in mud got up, dragged the two bodies into the alley, changed into their clothes, and walked towards the Rich Gang in a dignified manner. As a result, he happened to meet Sheafield who was returning in a carriage.

Sheafield had just finished a meeting with an important figure and saw that the gang guarding the door had disappeared, replaced by strangers wearing their own clothes.

"Who are you!?"

Sheafield shouted, "Lord Water Elemental!"

The street thugs reacted very quickly, so quickly that before Shadow could even say hello to him, a water elemental emerged from the back of the car and walked towards Shadow.

Shadow lied to Bal but not to Annan. He was indeed eliminated by the Shadow Guards, but the fact that he was able to enter the selection itself meant that he had a high talent.

At least he was able to fight the large water elemental for a long time as a level 3 ranger and only get beaten half to death.

Seeing that things were getting tense, Sheafield wanted to run away first. Shadow was anxious to catch up, but he ignored the water blade that was shooting straight at his head.

At this time, a teleportation array appeared under the feet of the water element and took it away into the street.

The water blade that shot out dissipated, leaving only a chill that stung Shadow's forehead.

Shadow was the first to come to his senses and grabbed the stunned Sheafield.

"An——" Shadow swallowed the rest of his words, "Be quiet!"
