Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

On the other side, Lake and the others were treated as honored guests of the royal palace and arranged in special guest rooms.

This also avoided...

The situation of being blocked at the old tailor's house by uninformed Bo'ren people.

Lake's group of four stayed in two guest rooms.

As with most of their stays in the past, Lake and Polo shared a room, while the veteran Inver and Dans shared another room.

At least they didn't have to take turns guarding the night anymore.

Now that they were in the royal palace, it should be safe, right?

Even if giants came, they wouldn't attack the guest rooms of the royal palace first, would they?

Late at night, the door lock of the guest room where the veteran Inver was staying opened silently. At the same time, outside the guest room window, a black shadow, carrying a rope, silently climbed down from above—

"Ka—"

The door lock was pushed open, emitting a sharp, ear-piercing sound!

As if initiating some kind of command, the secret guards outside also kicked the window!

In an instant, the glass shattered with a bang. The secret guards outside the door and outside the window rushed into the room almost at the same time. They had no lights, and in the dark night, they could completely rely on their memory to know the furnishings in the guest room!

The moment they rushed into the room, rapid sounds of piercing air rang out from two directions!

The two secret guards, who had already primed the crossbows, fired dark arrows—

"Puff—puff—"

Two muffled sounds of penetration rang out in succession!

But there was no scream.

The two secret guards knew something was wrong the moment the sound was made. With their extensive training, they could judge the result from the subtle differences hidden in the sound—

The two poisoned crossbow bolts had both hit the empty bedding and bed board!

"Where are they?!"

They felt a pang in their hearts, but they were prepared for the crossbow bolts missing.

Through the secret lines in the royal palace, they confirmed that these people had not come out after entering the guest room, so—the targets to be killed must still be in the room!

The secret guard who rushed in through the door had already gripped the black sword at his waist and was about to draw it!

But at this moment, he felt a sudden chill on his neck—

What?

His mind only had time to flash this thought before he was engulfed and plunged into pain and death.

Just now, in the empty space beside him, a military knife flashed and disappeared, piercing his neck from the gap in his helmet!

"Who?!"

The secret guard who stormed in from the window saw the vague furnishings in the room by the dim moonlight shining into the room after kicking open the curtains.

There was no one on the bed, that person's location...

His well-trained mind instantly got two answers—

Under the bed and in the cabinet on the side!

But just as he drew his sword, the corner of his eye suddenly saw his teammate who had rushed into the room from the door slump down.

And there was clearly nothing beside his teammate?!

Who did it? How did they do it?

He was stunned, gripped the long sword in his hand, widened his eyes, and carefully observed the scene in the dim room.

But there was nothing, he could only hear his suppressed breathing!

Under the bed?

He stretched out his long sword, slowly leaned over, and stabbed under the bed...

The cabinet door was closed, and the space under the bed was not large, so even if someone hid, they would not be able to exert any attack!

But to his surprise, there was no one under the bed.

Where is the person?

Just as he was thinking this, his hand suddenly hurt.

"Clang!"

The black long sword fell to the ground.

At the same time, in the empty air, a huge force—grabbed his throat!

"Uh—"

The secret guard's expression changed drastically, his eyes widened, but he still couldn't see anything from the air in front of him!

Could it be... a ghost?!

Gradually, his breathing was obstructed, his strength became weaker and weaker, and he was no longer able to resist, and was knocked to the ground by force.

Immediately afterwards, his other hand and leg were also severed by suddenly appearing blades!

After being deprived of all ability to move, the secret guard saw that the air began to distort.

His target, the veteran Inver, and Dans' figure, appeared out of thin air.

"Who are you? Why did you come to assassinate us?"

The veteran Inver's eyes stared quietly at the secret guard on the ground, lifted his mask, revealing a face he had never seen before!

"I have many methods, you better be honest..."

The veteran Inver shouted again.

But the secret guard who had lost his ability to move did not have the slightest look of fear on his face. There was no wave in his eyes when he looked at the veteran Inver.

He smiled strangely, opened his mouth and said:

"I am..."

The next moment, the armor on his body immediately lit up with dense light patterns!

The veteran was startled and pushed the secret guard to the corner, waving his cloak to protect his lover Dans.

The secret guard's armor was instantly shrouded in a piece of magic light, and began to disintegrate and collapse rapidly...

Turning into a cloud of dust!

And the corpse already leaning against the door was also disintegrated by the engraved formation.

……

On the other side, before the assassination began, the guest room next door.

Polo had already woken up when the two secret guards approached Polo and Lake's room.

Wolves have very sensitive hearing and sense of smell, and... Polo's "Berserker" power enhancement is even far beyond ordinary!

A crack was open in the window, and a faint human scent drifted in the evening breeze.

At the same time, Polo also heard two almost silent footsteps approaching outside the door!

Although the secret guards lowered their footsteps, it was useless to Polo!

"Crack—"

The secret guards at the door of the veteran and Polo launched their attacks almost at the same time!

Exactly the same actions and behaviors—

"Puff puff—"

Two crossbow bolts fell into the air, and the secret guard at the door was about to draw his sword when a shadow jumped up from a corner he hadn't noticed!

Polo knocked the secret guard down, and the secret guard was startled.

But his well-trained movements made the long sword in his hand reflexively stab towards Polo's vitals—

But at this moment, his eyes met the dark, oily green wolf eyes.

The huge invisible magic explosion completely impacted the secret guard's face in an instant!

The secret guard's mask did not have the engraved formation like Prince Bo'ren that could resist the magical impact.

"Crack—"

The secret guard's neck snapped, broke, and shattered.

He died on the spot without saying a word!

And the secret guard who jumped into the house from the window fought with Lake after drawing his black sword!

"Clang—"

The two swords crossed, sparking a burst of sparks in the darkness.

The secret guard suddenly realized that although his swordsmanship was fast, he seemed unable to break through the defense of the girl in front of him!?

It doesn't matter... there are still teammates...

The thought had just occurred to him when he saw the secret guard at the door fall down in his peripheral vision!

Ah?!

His face froze.

At the same time, countless red and green vines grew rapidly in the pot behind him, wrapping around the secret guard!

And Lake would not let go of such an opportunity.

The sword light flickered, bringing up a cloud of blood mist.

The secret guard's hands and feet were injured, and his long sword fell to the ground. The mask on his face was also split in half!

Lake raised her sword against the secret guard's neck and asked in a clear voice:

"Who are you? Why are you here in the middle of the night..."

Before Lake could finish asking, the secret guard opened his mouth and said:

"You are indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, you will not get anything."

The next moment, the surface of the secret guard's black armor glowed with an engraved magic light, and was about to be disintegrated and destroyed!

Seeing this scene, Lake's eyes froze.

She suddenly spat out a string of incantations and reached out from her arms to take out the "Spell Shattering Cone" taken from Prince Bo'ren.

The crystal cone had already emitted a faint magic light.

She pushed her hand and pointed the tip of the "Spell Shattering Cone" on the surface of the secret guard's black armor...

Then, all the engraved formations flickered and stopped quickly under the secret guard's stunned gaze.

"Sir, now... can we get some news?"

Lake raised her hand, tidied the broken hair at the corner of her forehead, and smiled slightly.
