Knight with Wand

Poisoning was the first ineffective plan that Covis talked him out of.

Not to mention that Leon and others couldn't get a poison that could kill people quickly.

Even if it could be obtained, it would not be very effective. Even Corvis had been taught various detoxification techniques, and it was impossible for Pirieno not to be proficient in this.

"If I can destroy his head instantly, are you sure he doesn't have any other weird ways to save his life?" Leon asked in a deep voice, giving up the unrealistic heresy.

"Also, are you sure that when Pirieno is thinking about that thing, he will really remove his defenses? Is his body strong? I have seen an enemy whose skin is magically strengthened even if he is naked."

Everyone's lives were at stake, and the enemy was the mysterious Master, so he had to be cautious.

Who knows if those mages will really die after losing their heads?

Miss Laura doesn't even have a body now, so she's still alive and kicking in her consciousness.

Corvis looked at Leon: "What do you want to do? Let me remind you first, if you want to use a blunt weapon like a warhammer, save it. Even if there is a chance to get close, he will definitely be able to re-cover the defensive magic faster than you can swing it. The weapons are faster, and I don’t think you have extraordinary martial arts skills.”

"I know an attack spell that can be projected, which is powerful enough to penetrate the knight's plate armor, but I can't show it to you just to make you believe it because it can only be released once in a short period of time." They were all honest with each other. At this point, Leon is not afraid of further confession.

"Seriously?" The blond boy narrowed his eyes. He had previously denied the warning-breaking spell, but now he claimed to be able to cast it. This was something he didn't expect.

Corvis pondered for a while, and then assured: "According to my observations over the years, when Pirieno takes off his guard, his body will not be much stronger than ordinary people. He does not follow the school of thought that transforms the body. If you can really smash his head in an instant, it’s not impossible to try.”

"The question is, even if it is powerful enough, how far is the range of your spell? What is the accuracy? How fast is the projection speed?

You won't have the opportunity to get up close and personal with him like I did when he lowered his defenses, after all. Your appearance doesn't interest Pirieno. "Corvis asked while holding his chin, as if he was really considering the possibility of the incident happening.

"The accuracy can be guaranteed, but I don't know the specific range. Having said that, don't you know any attack spells yourself?" When talking about this, Leon couldn't help but wonder.

The invisibility spell that the other party had revealed earlier was not as weak as he appeared to be.

"Unfortunately, I really don't know how. Pirieno only taught me the magic tricks to assist him. I know some protection, healing, spell-breaking, purification, etc., but he forbids me to have any knowledge about combat magic. "Covis shook his head.

As he spoke, he took out his left hand from his cloak, turned to face the vase on the table next to him, and dexterously drew imaginary patterns with his fingertips, muttering something in a low voice.

The young man drew several streams of light with his fingers, forming a circle of small seals.

The air shook with a bang.

The vase was shot out of thin air in the eyes of Leon and others.

But the moment before it hit the wall, it stopped in the air.

Corvis pulled back.

The floating vase flew back to the blond boy with a swish.

He raised his palm and whispered words that no one could understand. Then, the flowing light seal floating in his palm disappeared immediately.

The vase then fell freely from mid-air and was caught firmly by the young man's hand.

"If a battle really breaks out, I can only use this little trick to increase my efforts, throwing things around. I am good at swordsmanship, but the martial arts of ordinary people are no different from juggling to Pirieno." Weiss put the vase back on the table and looked at Leon helplessly.

"The greatest help I can do is to use this body to make him relax his guard and create opportunities for you to attack."

"That's enough."

Leon nodded and told himself and others that with so much useful information, the other party had done everything they could.

He then began to ask the blond boy in detail about the structure of the entire embassy, ​​looking for a suitable place to start.

Corvis immediately fiddled with the wine glasses and vases on the table, explaining the structural distribution of the courtyard buildings and the warning spells still operating in the courtyard.

Several people deduced and discussed for a long time. You and I eliminated all kinds of plans with too many uncertainties. In the end, only one assassination plan that was truly stable and possible was discussed.

That is, from inside the building, through the bedroom door, release the arrow of Isa and shoot Pirieno's head at close range.

Only when Pirieno is completely relaxed in the bedroom does he really let down some of his guard.

The difficulty in trying to snipe from the outside is that in order not to trigger the warning in the courtyard and release attack magic, the only sniping position Leon can choose is the small area where someone has destroyed the structure of the spell. .

But Pirieno's room didn't have a window facing there.

Leon didn't have clairvoyance, so it was impossible to shoot blindly through the thick walls of the stone castle building.

Even if there is a window, he can't guarantee that he can accurately shoot the arrow of Yisha through the window and hit the target's head from a distance like a sniper.

If Pirieno is allowed to feel that his life is in danger, the three of Leon will have to bear the wrath of a canon mage.

But for the indoor assassination, after repeated thinking, the plan still had several uncertainties.

That is, there is no 100% guarantee that Pilieno will be led into the bedroom by the blond boy to remove his defense state according to their action time.

Although according to Corvis, the other party did ask for more from him during this period.

But what if Pilieno is not interested when the action is taken?

It is not a big deal if the assassination cannot be carried out, it is nothing more than picking another time.

But if Leon who sneaked into the building is discovered by him, he will be dead.

Although, asking Ms. Elena to help confirm the situation and then notify Leon who is on standby over the wall to take action is a solution.

But Pilieno's temperament is unpredictable. What if Ms. Elena is pulled by that guy to sleep with her when she confirms the situation in the room.

Without the insider, Leon will most likely miss the brief opportunity when Corvis lures the target behind the door.

If the opportunity is missed, even if he can sneak into the door of the target's room, Leon will not be able to guess the enemy's position through the door and blindly snipe the target's head.

If Pilieno really dragged Corvis and Elena to bed, he would have to give up the assassination to avoid accidentally hitting friendly forces, and even humiliated Ms. Elena.

Scratching his hair, Leon fell into deep thought, regretting that he did not have a radio communication device, and Corvis did not know the magic of voice transmission effect in martial arts novels.

The two sides could not communicate during the action, and it was really a fantasy to want to cooperate perfectly.

". Let me do it." Azerien on the side sighed helplessly.

Hearing this, Leon and Lohak looked at him awkwardly.

In this heated discussion, the two of them avoided talking about the partner targeted by Pilieno.

After all, facing such an embarrassing thing, the two were really embarrassed to let Azerien take the lead and "risk himself".

This is different from other dangers.

Leon believed that the three of them would not frown for each other's affairs and go through fire and water for each other.

But if the operation is not done well, the crisis faced by the partner is not only the safety of life, but also the reputation and dignity of Azerien.

Some dignity is more important than life.

"Forget it, let's think of another way, such as going to the slave market in this city or going to the brothel to see if we can find someone as handsome as you." Lohak couldn't bear to let his partner go into the devil's den again, and couldn't help but make a whimsical suggestion.

Lohak's eyes were full of shame. To be honest, the boy regretted that he didn't have a partner like this, otherwise he would have done it himself.

In order to save his sister, Lohak was willing to take any risks, but the fact is that there are thresholds for selling brothels, and it is really not something that Lohak's face can handle.

"What's with that look, you idiot? What are you thinking about?" Azerien pushed Lohak's head with laughter, and then he continued to explain with a smile: "I've thought about it. Only if I act as bait can the uncontrollability of this plan be minimized.

Since that guy is so interested in me, I just need to pretend to accept it, and he will definitely enter the bedroom at the time I ask.

At the same time, Leon doesn't have to take the risk of climbing over the wall to sneak in, and can stay overnight in the embassy as my follower.

I can even find a reason for Leon to wait outside the door of Pilieno and take action after my signal.

Don't think too much, I'm not really going to sell my ass."

Speaking of this, Azerien En paused and looked at the blond boy with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry for my words, I didn't mean to offend."

Corvis shook his head calmly: "It's okay, but you are right, you are more suitable to be the bait. For me, I can't think of a reason to trick Pilieno to the door for the time being.

You can take this opportunity to lure him behind the door with a reaction of retreating at the last minute, creating an attack opportunity for Leon."

After speaking, the blond boy smiled at Azerien: "Don't worry, I will act with you. If Pilieno really makes a move on you, I can also respond flexibly and help you cover and delay."

"Then I'll trouble you, my friend." Azerien nodded.

It would be a lie for the noble boy to say that he was not afraid. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of dishonorable loss of purity and shame for his family and his deceased father.

Looking at the sacrifices made by his good brother for him, Lohak was so grateful that he could not express it in words. He secretly noted down these unrepayable favors, and then looked at everyone: "What about me? Is there anything I can do?"

"Of course, and it's very important." Leon patted his shoulder and told him the last step of the plan.

Once the assassination is successful, everyone must escape from this troubled place as soon as possible.

It is impossible to run away from the main gate with Ms. Elena.

The group of black-armored soldiers who guard day and night are not blind. They will not let a few outsiders take two slaves to leave the embassy freely.

In this way, the only escape route is the secret plank road behind the city wall.

After finalizing the process of the entire plan and the backup plan for the worst case, the blond boy left the residence of the three people with this opportunity he had been seeking for many years with inexplicable emotions in his heart, and used "good news" to fool Pilieno.

By the way, Elena was also prepared to cooperate in escaping.

Leon did not waste time and immediately found a reason to temporarily leave the castle with Lohak.

The two of them quietly took a detour and searched from the deserted beach far away from human habitation to the coastal side of the castle's high cliff.

After searching for a long time and running along the beach until their shoes were soaked, they finally saw the end of the plank road hidden behind the reef on the shallow beach, hanging in the air more than one person high.

Several rotten ropes hung at the end of the plank road, swaying in the sea breeze.

The escape route is feasible!

The two were overjoyed and immediately rushed back to the castle.

After packing all the necessary luggage for everyone, Lohak took back their horses and weapons from the outer area, and left with everything.

Only when night fell would he lead the horse to the cliff behind the castle to meet everyone.

All preparations were made.

With a nervous mood, Azerien took Leon and set foot on the Atias embassy again.

After the notification, they saw Pilieno's disgusting old face again.

The noble boy couldn't help but tighten his heartstrings, burying the murderous intent in his heart in an awkward smile of hypocrisy.

On the sea-facing side of the towering main castle, in a high-rise luxurious room that served as a wedding room.

The beautiful bride was alone in the empty room, fidgeting and pacing back and forth.

"~Why are you so anxious~, my little swan~"

The poet, dressed in torn bright clothes, hummed an inexplicable song. He sat on the stone pillar guardrail of the balcony, leaning against the outer wall, enjoying the sea breeze.

Margarina stopped and came to the balcony, looking at the bard with worried eyes.

"Master, I am just still worried about Larian. He has never sailed a boat. If he doesn't know the reefs tonight, he will be in danger."

"The sea breeze will protect him and the moonlight will guide him. Don't worry~"

The poet stopped playing the piano, and his eyes full of melancholy and smile turned to look at the ill-fated little swan in front of him.

"As long as your hearts are still in tune with each other, fate will eventually lead you to the other side of freedom."

Then the poet took off his hat, covered his face with it, and yawned: "Have a good rest. Freedom requires more than just faith. After tonight, you will no longer be Miss Margarina of the Salain family. There will be many more tests waiting for you in the days ahead."

"Thank you for your help, Master Goliad." Margarina stepped forward with red eyes.

Not only was she grateful for the poet's protection of her chastity from the son of Falcon.

She was also excited that she could finally be with the person she loved.

".I only help those who help themselves. You helped yourself."

After saying that, Goliad closed his eyes, turned over lazily, and lay down along the fence.

The poet felt a little relieved.

This time someone did it for him and he enjoyed the fruits of his labor~

He didn't have to perform on stage himself.
