Heart of the Castle

Chapter 334 Shadow Night Visit, Ominous Black Wing

Shadow Assassin Arance Kate's steps were as light as the night wind, and he walked past the carnival crowd who were holding spirits and shouting, without disturbing any of them.In fact, these people are guarding here with full concentration, and they can't even think of being able to detect his traces.

Since the sharp dagger of the Shadow Assassin joined the demon camp, only that one among humans can detect their tracks.Alans Kate reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth. This is not a good reputation. Thanks to that person, in the Shadow Assassin's own circle, Alans Kate's nickname has changed from "Night Shadow" to something quite "Lulu Shame" with a sarcastic taste.

"In front of those eyes, let's see which one of you can hide." Alans Kate let out a breath of sulking, lurking in the shadows and slowly moving forward, and soon approached the room where the person was.

The door was closed, yet unlatched, and Alanth Kate flashed through it like a phantom shadow, making no louder noise than a mouse running by, yet as he squinted his eyes to look into the room, But he happened to see that person looking at him with piercing eyes.

"Shadow Assassin Arance? Kate?" Although the voice of that person was asking, he was already convinced.Alans Kate couldn't help but let out a click of his tongue, and then appeared from the shadows.

"Congratulations, Levi Ston, I will call you Your Excellency the Baron from now on." There was not even a milligram of respect in the Shadow Assassin's words, and the hissing sound at the end of the words was even more ironic.

Li Wei nodded without any change in his face, as a response to the compliment or sarcasm, "Alans, I am having dinner, and I have specially prepared two servings." The young lord pointed to the table in front of him and said : "If you haven't eaten it yet, enjoy it together."

This sentence raised the eyebrows of the Shadow Assassin, "An invitation to dinner? To a Shadow Assassin?" He shook his head in bewilderment, "Levi? I can't see through you, are you really open-minded, or are you overconfident in your own strength?"

"Neither." Li Wei's answer was very simple. The light of the blink detection technique never stopped in his eyes, and the yellow light on the Shadow Assassin's body remained unchanged, showing that he still did not carry any malice this time. "I believe in your tragic past and I believe in the power that hatred gives you."

Alans Kate was silent for a few seconds, and then let out a deep chuckle, "Do you believe what the shadow assassin said?" His steps were so fast that he couldn't see clearly, and he came to the table from the door in the blink of an eye. Staring at Li Wei without blinking, "This is the first one, among the human lords... no, the first among all humans."

"That's because you never told your stories." Li Wei answered him without even raising his head, and poured vermilion grape wine into two exquisite silver cups. Two noses.

"Have a glass?" Levi picked up a glass first, and then said to Alan Si. "It was sent from Dirk City, and I promise it's not poisoned." When he said the last few words, the corner of the young lord's mouth twitched slightly, as if thinking of something funny.

"There is no poison that can work against Shadow Assassin, our blood is highly poisonous." Alans replied in a cold voice, but he bent down and picked up another silver cup.When his finger touched the silver cup, it immediately sizzled like picking up a flaming iron, and at the same time a puff of blue smoke floated up.

Li Wei froze as he raised his glass, "Why did this happen? I'm sorry." The panic on the young lord's face didn't seem fake, and he stood up hastily, "Your physique has been completely demonized, and you can't even touch metals like silver. Yet?"

"Yes," Alanth admitted, holding the silver cup without trembling, as if it wasn't his fingers that were buzzing with the silver. "For your trust, Mr. Li Wei, let's drink." He said, pouring the fine wine in the glass into his mouth, with a nostalgic expression on his face, "It's really a good wine, with the taste of sunshine and life." Then sit opposite Li Wei.

Levy's dinner was as simple and unassuming as ever: a large wooden bowl filled with badly stewed beef, with roasted turnips and mushrooms as side dishes; another main course was a roasted golden and crispy Fat goose, with a decorative cherry in its flat mouth, and the oily skin is still slightly steaming; the staple food is a whole loaf of brown bread, with a knife inserted in it, which is convenient for diners to cut at any time .

There were no waiters here, and there were countless people in the village who wanted to serve His Excellency the baron, but the young lord declined all of them, because he already knew from outside the village that tonight's guest would be a shameless guy.

Arance only tasted a little of everything, and Levi didn't eat much, and soon the two put down their knives and forks and started talking.Arance quickly finished the news he brought, and completely shattered Li Wei's relaxed mood until just now into irretrievable dross.

"It is reported that the high-level officials of the deceased are in close contact with the demon nobles, and may have formed an alliance?" The news is simply too bad. Evil kills each other and restrains each other. This has been happening over and over again since the history of written records.A similar plot is always recorded in the heroic epic, and it is for this reason that all evil forces fail.

The dead hate all life and hope to send all life to the kingdom of eternal night, including demons; and the attempt of demons is to enslave other lives and draw power from their fear, so undead creatures without fear have nothing to them worthless.

"The goals of these two evil forces are completely different. What made them form an alliance?" Li Wei frowned and said, as if he was asking Arance, or talking to himself.

"You have to ask those demon nobles with broken brains, and dead liches who have no brains at all." Alans replied with a strange smile, and at the same time grabbed the clay pot containing wine and held it in front of him. pour wine into glass. "The shadow assassin is just a knife in the hands of the devil, how would I know the reason for the alliance?"

"They...I mean, is it possible for the demons and the dead to launch an attack in the near future?" Li Wei continued to ask.

"I don't know, but I can feel that they are making careful preparations. The dead are arming their skeleton soldiers and zombies. Levi Ston, that is an army that you can't even imagine. It is endless and enough to Overwhelm any castle or fortification by sheer numbers. There are also vampires and wraiths, who form fearsome armies that can fly in the sky, gray translucent figures and bat wings cover the sky. You have an army of griffins and may be able to Barely resisted, but the rest of the entire northern territory is absolutely unable to stop this army from trampling. As for the demon nobles, I think their goal is probably not the northern border, but other places." After finishing speaking, Alans put the silver cup together To the mouth, slowly swallowed those alcoholic liquid rubies.

There was a worried expression on Li Wei's face, "The army of undead creatures, and the conspiracy of demons." He sighed long, as if this would make it easier, "It seems that the trouble has just begun, the test on the northern border of the Kingdom of Arthur It's far from over... Alans Kate, do you have any evidence to confirm this news?"

"Evidence?" The Shadow Assassin raised his lips sarcastically, "Of course...no." His answer was justified, "I rely on some daily subtle changes to make judgments, because we are allies, so I come to you Warning." His tone was extremely spicy, "As for other rich nobles and mediocre common people, I don't care about their lives!"

Li Wei raised one eyebrow, and looked at the indifferent Shadow Assassin with some anger, but his anger quickly subsided, and a trace of sympathy could not help showing in his eyes. "I know your reason for doing this." Li Wei pulled out the knife from the black bread, put it on the table and pushed it lightly, and the knife immediately spun. "The framing by the heir of the Merister family, as well as the ignorant people who looked on coldly at that time, made your heart completely immersed in hatred, didn't it?"

Alans? Kate's purple eyes flashed sharply, and then he immediately closed his eyes, and his tone was as cold as ice: "Yes, I just hate them! For revenge, I can endure terrible transformation rituals that ordinary people can't even imagine ;For revenge, I can also kill everyone who stands in my way, even... the old, the weak, women and children." The last few words were like a breath, but the taste of firmness and determination never changed.

"I... can give you a better choice." Li Wei spoke with some difficulty, his voice was stiff and dry due to tension. "I will do my best to help you complete your revenge, but the target is only limited to the noble who committed the unforgivable crime."

Alans Kate opened his eyes, eyes full of doubts, "Levi Ston, do you understand what you're talking about?" His tone and eyes were equally unbelievable, "That's Meris The Te family, one of the nine pillars of the Kingdom of Arthur, and the guy you want to help me kill is the first in line heir of that family——Benjamin Merister!"

"You mentioned the name, I still have some impressions." After saying the decision, Levi seemed to be much more relaxed, and he used a fork to pick up a piece of roasted turnip and put it in his mouth to chew. "Compared to the kind and simple life in the entire northern border, the life of a corrupt nobleman...is worth nothing."

Alans Kate watched the table knife on the table turn slower and slower, and when it finally stopped, the blade pointed at his chest. "Since this is the case," he grabbed the table knife and played with it, trying to sharpen his fingers. "In return, what do I need to do? Assassinate your political opponents? I promise to do it quickly and well, and there is absolutely no People will suspect you."

"I need you to try your best to find the attacking direction of the coalition forces of demons and undead. It is best to be able to attract an ally similar to your experience in the undead camp." Li Wei's voice was not particularly high-pitched, but Arance I thought I heard a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Don't you think about it for yourself?" The Shadow Assassin gestured, "No one doubts the Shadow Assassin's ability to carry out assassinations, and those who doubt are dead."

"I have no enemy to assassinate, not now, nor in the future." Li Wei said firmly. "Alans Kate, this is my condition, do you accept it?"

When Alan Si cocked his mouth and was about to answer, his face suddenly changed, and his body shrank down, disappearing into the shadows under the table as if melting out of thin air.Almost at the same time, the long sword on Li Wei's waist slipped out of the scabbard, and he jumped to the window with a stride, his eyes looked out with a strange light.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Something was knocking on the window frame, and through the cow's bladder covering it, one could only vaguely see that it seemed to be a strange black bird, but it didn't look like an ordinary bird. Like a bird, it appears as a small off-white light spot in the field of vision of the exploration technique, but a huge light spot comparable to a quasi-knight. The color of the light is yellowish and greenish. Li Wei understands that it is neutral and friendly Performance.

This is definitely not an ordinary bird. Li Wei didn't think about it for too long, but the strange bird was obviously impatient. Using both mouth and claws, he quickly expanded the hole to a size that he could enter and exit smoothly, then got into the room, and squatted proudly on the window frame.

Li Wei looked at the strange bird in front of him speechless, and the strange bird stared back at him with a pair of round eyes.The size of this strange bird is quite large, probably only slightly smaller than an adult eagle. Its feathers are as black as night, and its eyes are as red as blood. It is a huge crow!
