The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 48 Gold Medal Assassin
In the darkness, Mary moved forward quietly.

As the gold medal assassin of Viper Fang, Mary the Red Viper has performed many missions, and even high-ranking knights were once the souls of her subordinates.

Therefore, Mary didn't take this assassination mission seriously.

"The only thing you need to care about is Conrad, the steel-hearted knight!"

Mary looked at the castle in front of her and murmured, "I really don't know what this guy is thinking. He was clearly defeated by Night Crow Knight before."

"Now, he has become the guardian of Night Crow City."

As she said that, Mary shook her head and said to herself, "At first I thought about poisoning the target, but after waiting for so many days, I didn't even have a chance."

"What a waste of my time!"

"If it wasn't for the Steel Heart Knight getting in the way, I'd have to torture you before killing you!"

Coming to the edge of the castle like a shadow, Mary looked up and saw the room on the second floor with the windows open.

"Looks like I'm lucky!"

A glint of coldness flashed in Mary's eyes, she suddenly threw a barb in her hand, quickly climbed up, and sneaked into the room like a star spider.

As soon as she entered the room, Mary saw a teenager sitting not far away.

Her heart sank, and a look of vigilance appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, there's no one else here except me."

Sauron looked calm, and said softly: "Are you the assassin of Viper Fang and Snake Shadow? Tell me, who asked you to come and kill me?"

Mary's eyes flickered slightly.

Relying on the high-level knight's perception ability, she noticed that there was indeed no other aura in the room except Sauron in front of her.

Suddenly, a sneer appeared on Mary's face.

The next moment, without any nonsense, she pulled out the scimitar behind her and rushed straight ahead, exuding a red mist-like aura from her body.

"All right!"

Sauron shrugged, and the moment Mary attacked, he also drew his cross sword.

Stab la la!
The friction between the blades made a piercing sound.

"Senior knight?"

Mary's face changed, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

It never occurred to her that the young man in front of her, who was not yet 20 years old, already possessed the realm of a high-level knight.

"What a monster!"

Mary stepped back, looking at Sauron with a calm face, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling.

But soon, she calmed down.

What about high-level knights? There are many high-level knights who died in their own hands. What's more, the young man in front of him is so young that he doesn't have much time to become a high-level knight.

Immediately, Mary waved her hand abruptly.

call out! !

A dagger shot towards him, Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his body slightly to one side, and while dodging the attack of the dagger, the cross sword in his hand quickly stabbed out.

laugh!
The sword pierced through Mary's shoulder like lightning, and the opponent's face changed, and he wanted to swing the scimitar to push Sauron back.

However, Sauron would not give her another chance.

Bang!
With a punch in the female assassin's abdomen, Sauron drew out the cross sword and pressed it against the opponent's neck, while raising his foot to step on the female assassin's wound.

"last chance."

Sauron was expressionless, and said coldly: "Tell me who sent you here, maybe I can consider sparing your life."

"Ah!"

A sneer appeared on Mary's face, and she said softly, "It's really unexpected that I, the red viper Mary, killed countless people in my life, and now I will be folded in the hands of a little devil!"

After all, Mary bit the poison in her mouth.

Sauron frowned slightly, but before he could speak again, the female assassin's face had already turned gray, and her body gradually stiffened.

"Dead?" Sauron's eyes flashed with astonishment.

Tatata!
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, Kailo Knight, Connard and others hurried to the second floor, and they were all shocked when they saw the female assassin on the ground.

"What's going on?" Cavalier Kailo asked in surprise.

"The assassin of the snake with fangs?"

Konrad frowned slightly, came to the female assassin's body, stretched out his hand and tore at the other's face, tearing off a human skin mask.

The female assassin who showed her true colors was an ordinary-looking woman.

"The Red Viper, Mary!"

Connard's eyes flashed a little dignified, and he recognized the opponent as the gold medal assassin of Viper Fang, Mary known as the Red Viper.

"You killed her!?"

Suddenly, Konrad seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Sauron.

"Are all the assassins of Viper Fang and Snake Shadow so tough?"

Sauron frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I wanted to get some valuable information from her, but who would have thought that she would never give me a chance."

As he said that, a look of helplessness appeared on Sauron's face.

"Assassins of Viper Fang have always been like this."

Conrad said with a complex expression: "The mission failed, even if they can escape alive, they will be hunted down endlessly by the organization."

"Therefore, death is the only option."

"I didn't expect that you have the ability to kill Mary the Red Viper!"

Connard looked at Sauron, the luster in his eyes flickered slightly.

"Get the body away."

Sauron shook his head, and ordered Kailo to drag the female assassin's body away.

Afterwards, only Konrad and Sauron were left in the room.

"Have you been promoted to a senior knight?"

After a long while, Connard spoke, his voice was a bit hoarse.

Sauron nodded without denying it.

After being confirmed, Connard took a breath in his heart, and the expression on his face became particularly weird.

"It seems... your talent is even more terrifying than Night Crow Knight!"

After a while, Conrad sighed.

His face has returned to calm, but the emotions in his heart are hard to suppress.

You know, even in the entire history of the Duchy of Tar, there are very few senior knights under the age of 30.

And every one of them, as long as they don't fall in the middle, can become a strong one in the future.

"His Royal Highness, it seems that your investment choice this time is very correct!"

Conrad sighed in his heart.

"Are the assassins of Viper Fang and Snake Shadow all high-level knights?" Sauron asked at this moment.

"That's not it."

Connard shook his head, and said: "The assassins of Viper Fang and Snake Shadow are divided into bronze-level assassins, silver-level assassins, and gold-level assassins."

"These three levels correspond to junior knights, intermediate knights, and advanced knights. The cost of hiring assassins of different levels is also different."

A trace of thought appeared on Sauron's face.

"In addition to these three types of assassins, as far as I know, there are some more advanced assassins in Viper Fang and Snake Shadow, but most of the time they won't use them."

"Now, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"According to the rules of the poisonous snake shadow, since you have blocked an assassination, you will not be the target of the poisonous snake shadow in the future!"

Hearing Conrad's words, Sauron nodded slightly.

He had already heard about the rules of the Viper Fang and Snake Shadow, but he just didn't understand why an assassin organization would have such strange rules.
