Morning in the Tower of Swords

"...Stop, stop! Cough cough cough, you lunatic, Samuel, my name is Samuel!"

"Master, you must be careful about this guy, he is not an ordinary assassin, he is a wolf..."

Boom!Bang!

There was a clear and pleasant pounding sound from the side of the walkie-talkie, followed by the clinking sound of debris being smashed by something flying in, and the head of the guard, Samuel, never made a sound again.

But the last word he said was heard by everyone. Maybe others didn't understand what it meant, but Princess Sophie, who was Ruper, couldn't ignore it at all.

If Samuel wanted to reveal the race of the assassin before he died, how could he say it was the Lupus, not the wolf?The title of wolf is only used by the Lupers themselves, and Samuel, as the chief guard trusted by Archduke Karl, is of course also a Caprini native of Letania.

So in Princess Sophie's view, the only explanation may be the organization called "Wolf" from her hometown Syracuse.

The people on the Grand Duke's side held their breath for a long while, and the man's arrogant words sounded again from the noisy background of the walkie-talkie.

"Your Honorable Grand Duke probably doesn't know who I am. How can I let a passing character easily spoil the ending? When I put this assassin's blade on my neck, the answer will naturally be revealed."

"But please make no mistake, this is not a stage play for an audience, but ... a war to be witnessed."

------------------------------------------------------------

Qiao Ge slapped the walkie-talkie to pieces with his claws. Besides the head of the Grand Duke's Guard who was kicked into the wall by his kick, there was a whole team of "corpses" lying around him.

This can't blame them for being too weak. It's really that Wolf Spirit's stealth ability is impossible to defend against. After reaching the end of the team and killing one with a muffled sound, they can continue to be invisible. In this way, they can be eaten away step by step. I'm afraid only Big Bob This kind of heavy equipment with thick armor and no weaknesses can be guarded against.

However, when he finally faced Samuel, he deliberately turned into a wolf form, so that he misled Princess Sophie when he spoke. If the organization in her hometown came to assassinate the Grand Duke, she would definitely protect her husband herself.

After all, she is the royal family of Syracuse. Since the "Wolf" is an organization similar to the "Templar Knights", no matter how you say it, you should give her some face.

But actually, what Samuel really wanted to say was...

"This guy is no ordinary assassin, not even a human at all! He's a fucking wolf!"

However, doing so will also face a very big risk, because it will make Princess Sophie more serious. If one is not careful, Jogo may have to face many Leitanian army magicians, and even the royal tower magician. Master, who knows if there is any detection of invisibility in these people's weird Originium skills?

But risks and benefits coexist, the bigger the scene, the happier he is... No, the higher the synchronization rate that can be unlocked, you must know that Connor was a man who entered and exited seven times during the War of Independence, and he was even alone. Fight against the tyrant Washington who owns the golden apples.

The setting of the golden apple in "Assassin's Creed" is an artifact used by the ancestors of the First Civilization to rule their slave races. There is no doubt that this refers to human beings, which is equivalent to carrying a red alert mind control tower with you. It can also release powerful energy shocks and shields.

Compared with such a wall-mounted artifact, the level of Originium skill is just that.

"Cough, cough, where did you come from, a mad dog? How dare you make trouble in the Grand Duke's Mansion. Even if you can get out of here, the whole of Letania will regard you as a public enemy, and your final ending will only be to become a tower wizard's invincible Soul puppet!"

Samuel is worthy of being the Chief Guard of the Grand Duke's Mansion. In this situation, not only did he not beg for mercy, but his mental strength was not weakened. He slapped Qiao Ge frantically while covering his chest injury.

However, after this reminder, it reminded Jogo of one thing. It seems that the tower masters in Letania have an internal secret, which is to infiltrate the human body through the origin stone crystals exposed on the surface of the infected person. Until it is completely controlled, it becomes a puppet of the living dead.

Although it sounds like it only works on the Infected, since this skill is so powerful, how could the tower wizards not extend it further?They will spread a kind of origin stone dust with excessive radiation in the air. Once a certain dose is inhaled by the victim, it will only take a few hours to be transformed into a puppet.

It's just that what was created in this way was not an infected person, but something that Jogo was very familiar with.

herd.

That's right, Mephisto's herd is likely to come from tower wizards, and if the collusion between Princess Sophie and Ursus is confirmed, it is basically certain that she is the one who sponsored this skill to The man behind the integration movement.

But the horror of this skill is not limited to the battlefield. The political benefits it earns are also one of the reasons why the tower wizard has an extremely high status in Letania. The dead sister, so that she can become a puppet on the throne to maintain his dominance.

Jogo used his wolf claws to draw several deep groove-like marks on the floor. Reasonably, he became more determined to kill Princess Sophie.

"Mr. Samuel, first of all, I have to appreciate your loyalty to your master. In this cruel world, you are like the rare twilight. You should be respected, but it is a pity, just like I said to the Grand Duke. Yes, this is a war, and it's up to you to choose the loser."

Samuel's eyes widened suddenly, just because he saw with his own eyes that Jhogo turned into a human form at this time, walking slowly towards him at a leisurely pace.

"You, how can you?"

"Huh? Why can't I, this is a talent gained from a trial, and today will be a new trial for me, although let you high tower wizards come here with those terrible skills, What doesn't kill me...just makes me stronger."

laugh.

The Hidden Blade pierced Samuel's jaw without any hindrance. As he knelt on the ground with his hands on his neck, a stream of blood overflowed from his fingers. He also became the first serious assassin to die today. people.

And others?Of course he died at the hands of a berserker, even if it was a stealthy assassination from behind, Jogo still felt that an ax would be better.

"'Wolf'? How could it be 'Wolf'!? What enmity do I have with Syracuse! Why did they come to assassinate me??"

Sure enough, as Jogo expected, when the grand duke and his wife were placed in a separate protection place, Princess Sophie immediately told Grand Duke Karl of her conjecture. Out of trust in Samuel and his wife, the grand duke almost heard it Believe it, there is no doubt at all.

Besides, if he really had the wisdom to draw inferences from one instance, Princess Sophie would have already started to support him, so why wait to raise an older son.

"'Wolf' doesn't just represent Syracuse, they themselves yearn for absolute order. For example, Syracuse used to be the boundary of gang disputes, but since 'Wolf' took action, all gangsters who were unwilling to integrate were completely cleared. Only the authority of a lady remains."

Princess Sophie actually doesn't know much about the inside story of "Wolf". She can only infer based on some clues in the past. After all, this is the top secret of the Syracuse royal family. If she is the kind of princess who can get in touch with the core of power, They will not be married to foreign countries.

It is also true that Princess Sophie is very eager to make up for her desire to control in Letania.

"So the reason why the 'Wolf' serves the royal family of Syracuse is only because the royal family represents the order of Syracuse, and those who try to interfere with all this are naturally the enemies of the 'Wolf'."

"That's none of my business! Just by marrying you, my dear Dorot, shouldn't she be the object of goodwill of the Syracuse royal family? And I have never tried to interfere in Syracuse's internal affairs." , if I insist on involving gangs, I have only traded with Ms. Sicily."

It took Princess Sophie a lot of effort to stabilize the Grand Duke's emotions like appeasing an older child. Such a skill of controlling her husband also fully reflects her ubiquitous desire to control.

In fact, the Grand Duke's weak character is also inseparable from her, because when they got married, the Grand Duke was not a big sheep with such a majestic appearance, but a soft baa who was eager to be pushed out by the family to marry before he was an adult. baa lamb.

As for what it looks like, I wonder if you have seen the youngest of the Yang family in the book "The Big Bad Wolf and the Seven Little Lambs" by the Turtle Fish School.

That's right, it's not just that wolves fall in love with sheep, but you can also add a tag of driving a big car.

In this way, the lamb Baa Baa was brought up by the Wolf Princess to its current appearance, which is almost the same as Iskandar’s appearance evolution history, but the majestic appearance has not changed his dependence on Princess Sophie. It should be said that he used to His status as an abandoned son of the family has risen to his current status, all of which were taken away by Princess Sophie.

But the limit of the growth of seedlings is over. Fortunately, the two sons have inherited more of their mother's wolf nature, and Princess Sophie has now turned to care about her son's growth.

It's not the kind of "concern" in the pink, blue and green app, don't add tags casually!

"No matter how much you advocate order, as an organization, you must have ambitions. It's just a question of when you can accumulate enough power to release it. It's only a matter of time before the 'Wolf' steps up on the stage and declares that it will become Terra's beacon of order. Maybe Leta Nia is their beginning."

Indeed, if the "wolves" want to expand their power from Syracuse, Leitania is indeed their best choice. First of all, it borders Syracuse, and the two factions here also give them a stately establishment. The so-called "great righteousness" of order.

Of course, the most important thing is that Letania's main combat unit is the Crispy Warlock, which is very suitable for a group of Syracuse assassins to get off to a good start. How about changing it to Kasimir, who is full of heavy armored knights?Do you think the "Wolf" organization is so stupid?

"Isn't it good to start with someone else!? Why is it my turn?"

Princess Sophie gave her husband a blank look, why didn't she have a clue about why you had to be operated on?That is of course because Princess Sophie has always been tacitly allowed to act in the name of the Grand Duke. The outside world only knows the role of the Grand Duke, so how can they know the role of the Grand Duke.

"Don't worry, they must have taken you because they wanted to frighten the whole of Letania, but as long as I use my identity to negotiate peace with them, let the "wolf" realize that our son can help them control order like Miss Sicily, 'Wolf' will definitely be on our side."

"Yes, yes, there is also a son, just Dorothy, don't you just want Joseph to be in charge, Joseph, where is my dear Joseph, quickly call him to see me...see his mother!"

The Grand Duke hurriedly wanted to see his son, but was slapped on the back of the head by Princess Sophie.

"Idiot! Are you calling Joseph here because you want him to die? You hide here and leave the outside affairs to me. It won't be too late to call Joseph after I have settled with 'Wolf'."

Princess Sophie, who had changed into a dress again, gracefully stepped out of the shelter prepared for the Grand Duke and his wife, but she didn't know that everything she would face outside was very different from what she expected.

------------------

"Shoot him down!"

Several teams were chasing a man with a hood on his head. One of the guards pulled out a pistol and hit his leg and back. The hooded man made a strange howl and then slipped while running. After going to the flower bed on the side, the captain of the guard immediately ordered his men to cease fire, because they wanted to catch people alive.

The sorcerer of the Grand Duke's Mansion, who was standing on the commanding heights, also stopped the guided spells he was preparing. In his opinion, although he didn't know which loophole in the Grand Duke's Mansion's defense system this cunning assassin had sneaked in, and even attacked the chief guard, But once he is exposed, there will be no suspense.

A Grand Duke's mansion has hundreds of guards and several regular magicians who are usually in charge of manipulating the magic units. If they are in a hurry, they can ask the tower for help and ask them to send tower magicians to completely block it.

How could this Thunder Snake lose by riding his face!

puff.

The magician who had just dispersed the energy ball was shocked to see a section of sword edge protruding from his chest, and then pulled it out without any muddle, leaving only a transparent window in his heart that was gushing blood but not covered. .

But when he looked back with his remaining clear consciousness, he couldn't find the person who assassinated him, only the guards who were supposed to protect him, all fell to the ground at this time, staring at him. With a pair of eyes that cannot rest in peace, the things flowing out of the body dyed the entire rooftop red with blood.

"you……"

The magician finally found a series of footprints extending forward in the pool of blood at the last moment. He tried his best to condense a fast magic ball, but just when he raised his hand, the footprints suddenly twisted and flew in the air. There was a huge noise.

boom!

The magician who shot in the eyebrows no longer had the ability to resist, and fell back from the edge of the roof after taking a few steps.

However, the guards who went to the flower bed with restraints to search for the injured assassin only caught a shepherd dog raised by the grand duke in the flower bed. It was dying and crushed a branch of a flower bush. The wounds on its hind legs and back were clearly visible.

When the guards reported the hunt and loss to Princess Sophie, who personally came forward to command, she realized how difficult the matter was. Originally, her idea was to capture the assassin alive as much as possible. , then it’s okay to just capture the leader alive, so that the other party can negotiate with himself “calmly”.

But I didn't expect that according to the current information, there was only one person on the other side? ?

Although a person seems weak, but the opponent is so strong, he must have extremely superb skills. If the assassin has really broken through the semi-automatic magic defense and automatic magic detection unit of the manor, then if he wants to find him manually too difficult.

Once he scattered his troops to search, he would be caught and defeated one by one. If he concentrated his troops to search, he could calmly attack the guards, and the guards had suffered a lot. The warlock team also killed one of the pet dogs raised by Grand Duke Karl.

It's just that the guards tacitly didn't report it, otherwise how could they explain to the Grand Duke that they mistook the dog for a human?This is not Mr. Qin's live broadcast room, where is such a strange thing?

Anyway, just pass the blame to the assassin afterwards.

As for asking the tower wizard to come and help?No, Princess Sophie has completely crossed out this safest option in her heart, because the identity of the tower wizard in Letania is somewhat similar to that of the Imperial Army of the Yan Kingdom, the emperor's inner guard of Ursas, and the black guard of the Dragon Gate. Mino.

But the real status is higher than those, because the last three positions are dead soldiers after all, and the tower wizards are all the top intellectuals in Letania, and many of them even hold positions in the academy. Honorary professors, honorary vice-chancellors and even honorary principals.

Converted to Columbia, Rhine's life should be equivalent to a scientist, but in the world of magicians.

But the nature of these four professions is the same, that is, to serve the highest authority. Once Princess Sophie uses the power of the Grand Duke to call the tower wizard, then everything she does will enter the eyes of the tower master. Negotiating with the "wolf" and supporting his son to become the highest authority, how could he blew himself up?

The matter of teaching part of the skills of the tower masters to the cadres of the integration movement is not counted. It was originally acquiesced by the master of the tower. arms trade.

"Immediately ask someone to overhaul the spell detection unit. As for the assassin, he must be waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the Grand Duke, but my husband has been well hidden. Before that, maybe we can use other methods to lure him out." .”

Princess Sophie thought for a while, then stood up resolutely.

"Bring your people and follow me to the garden for a walk."

The team leader who temporarily took over from Samuel originally wanted to obey orders subconsciously, but then his face changed, and he suddenly understood what Princess Sophie meant.

"Ma'am! Forgive me, but your safety is the most important thing. Wouldn't it let the assassin succeed if you sacrifice everything?"

The captain immediately half-kneeled on the ground, expressing that he did not dare to do such a thing, if something happened to Princess Sophie, the Grand Duke would not tear her alive!

Princess Sophie lowered her head and glanced at the captain, knowing that he didn't dare, but she had to be accompanied by someone else, otherwise her intention would be too obvious if she went out alone as a bait, and the assassin would find out that it was a trap instead.

"Your worry is unnecessary. 'Wolf' is a professional organization. Since his goal is the Grand Duke, it is the right choice to let me live as a hostage to lure my husband out. Besides, we are the ones who are fishing. Do you even think about this? No confidence at all? Then can I understand it as you are not qualified to bear our trust?"

The captain was covered in cold sweat, and Princess Sophie also said it very bluntly, meaning that if you don't obey the order, get out of the Grand Duke's mansion, who dares to take the servant who was kicked out by the Grand Duke?Even the conservatives would worry that he was playing tricks, what if he was a spy?

Moreover, as Samuel's successor, he must have some understanding of the defense system here, and even some secrets in the Grand Duke's mansion. How could such a person be dismissed safely?Either he retired to the Grand Duke's Mansion to enjoy his life, or he died on the street the day after he stepped out of the gate.
