The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

"Do you know how many guards there are in the palace? Do you know that there are magic traps on all the roofs of the palace? Do you know that there are no less than 20 elite guards and 3 high-level wizards around him at any time?..."

Aishile counted the security forces around the emperor like a machine gun, and finally shook her hands angrily, "You are really crazy!"

Raven tilted his head and asked back, "I'm not asking you to assassinate, we will go by ourselves, why are you so excited?"

Marvin crossed his arms and nodded, "So, I need your intelligence support. If you have it."

The sorceress squinted for a long time, making sure that the man in front of her was not joking. She asked seriously, "What do you want to know?"

"Emhyr's daily routine, when will he leave the palace?"

Aishile put her finger on her chin and thought...

"He gets up around 7 o'clock every day, has breakfast, and the small court meeting ends within an hour. The big court meeting is very rare..."

"Lunch is 1 hour, and the emperor is usually in the study in the afternoon..."

"He will take a half-hour walk in the garden outside the study from 4 to 4:30..."

"Dinner is at 7 pm. I don't know what he does in the evening, but the emperor usually doesn't leave the palace at night."

"Recently... There are no public affairs that require the emperor to attend recently, celebrations, death sentences for serious criminals... um... None. And..." The sorceress raised her head and said, "The defense force for such affairs is tighter than that of the palace at ordinary times."

"Assassination, huh... It's not just you who thought of it. Almost everyone knows that as long as he dies, everything will be different. So..."

Aishile held up five fingers, "The emperor has been assassinated at least fifty times over the years, but he is still fine. But all the assassins and the guys who ordered the assassinations are dead."

The sorceress smiled at the man and asked, "Do you still insist on assassinating?"

Marvin crossed his arms and did not answer her question, but asked another question: "Walk from 4 to 4:30 in the afternoon, do you do this every day?"

"Don't be silly, kid." Ashley drew a circle with one hand, "The wall of the palace is 8 meters high, and you can't see anything from the outside. The nearest commanding height is 1,420 meters away from the garden. Nothing can hit him. Even a big guy like Zerekan Fire Scorpion Siege Crossbow can't do it."

"And that half an hour Inside, there are the most guards on the wall, and there are at least 50 elite guards around the garden. So..." The sorceress said disdainfully, "Forget it, if we could kill him, we wouldn't have waited until today."

Modus' eyes flashed with blue light, and it was a stream of computing data flashing. He asked: "You said that the roof of the palace is full of magic traps, what about the palace?"

Aishile spread her hands: "There will be more, and no one has a complete map, not even one."

If this is the case, close-range assassination probably won't work, and there is only one way left.

Marvin asked the same question again: "Does Emhyr take a walk every afternoon?"

Aishlei nodded, "Yes. If he is in the palace, every day."

Modus asked again: "Has he been in the palace recently?"

The sorceress nodded again, "Yes!"

Marvin took out the parchment and a pen he had just used, drew a rough sketch of the palace on the back, pointed to the sketch and asked: "Where is Emhyr's study? And the garden."

"Well... the study is here, and the garden is this area. Do you really plan to assassinate him while he is walking? What will you use?"

Marvin did not answer, and continued to point at the map and asked: "Where is the high-rise building you just said is 1,420 meters away?"

The sorceress looked at the man's profile curiously, and after making sure that he would not answer, she pointed to a point on the paper, "Probably here, the Imperial Senate, there is a clock tower on the roof, you can see it..."

Marvin picked up the parchment, and the paper was instantly frozen, and then it broke into tiny ice chips with a snap.

Marvin put away the ice chips and was about to leave when he turned back and asked, "Do you have a teleport point in Nilfgaard? I need it when I run away."

...

It is easy for ravens to find such landmark buildings near the palace, even at night.

That night, Marvin went into the bell tower on the top of the Senate.

Four pillars support the ceiling, and a big black bell hangs below.

There is a spiral staircase leading to the main building under the bell tower, and you can just stick your head out to observe the outside.

The Senate Hall is high enough to see the garden over the palace wall.

Marvin used the "Nekomata" sniper rifle and the raven that flew into the palace garden to measure the distance, which was indeed more than 1,400 meters.

The effective range of the Nekomata is only 863 meters, but this is not a problem, he has other ways.

Judging from the dust and dirt on the bell tower pillars and stairs, no one has been here for at least half a year.

It is understandable, after all, the old guys in the Senate were almost killed by the emperor, and this place has long been in name only.

In short, this is a good place to observe the palace.

Then, Modus flew up again, and Marvin temporarily left the Senate.

The man and the bird acted separately to see if they could find a larger empty house nearby.

There are actually many such places in the city, but it is not easy to ensure that there will be no one in the empty house for a few days.

When it was almost dawn, Marvin chose a warehouse by the Alba River.

The empty warehouse was full of dust and empty food bags. It was obvious that no one had come in for a long time, and even the iron lock at the door was rusted.

Marvin opened the portal in the warehouse directly and got in.

In front of the broken farmhouse in the northern suburbs, the raven called: "Ned!"

Hi... Bang!

The unicorn smashed the door panel and rushed out.

The raven flew over and slapped his head hard with its wings, "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

Marvin ran into the farmhouse, collected the remaining alfalfa, fruits and wooden basins, and led the horse and bird through the portal again.

"...Listen, Ned, the most important thing about this operation is to be secretive. Do you understand it?"

Modus was still educating Ned. The unicorn couldn't speak, but it had a very expressive expression and nodded vigorously.

"Hey, hey, hey..." The raven grabbed its horn and tried to keep its balance...

Although Ned is naughty, he is also obedient when he should. At least he will listen to what Marvin and Modus say.

After Modus's teaching was over, Marvin also prepared Ned's rations and prepared to leave one person and one bird.

Before leaving, Marvin said to the unicorn: "If you really can't stay any longer, just meditate."

"Yeah, yeah, I can bear it." Ned's long face stretched out and rubbed him.

Marvin jumped up and climbed over the high warehouse window, and Modus also flew out...

…

In the early morning, Emhyr Emres drank tomato soup and thought about the topics of today's meeting.

The whereabouts of Menno Culhorn has not yet been found, and the crimes of the Culhorn family have not yet been collected.

Today is just an ordinary Umrah meeting, there shouldn’t be much going on...

Luxurious carriages parked outside the palace gate and then left, and a decent nobleman walked into the palace gate.

More than an hour later, the noble ministers were standing in the front garden of the palace, either boarding the car to leave, or talking to each other...

No one noticed that a raven was hiding among the broad leaves of a barbassa plant.

Crunch~

The side door of the Imperial Senate opened, and the door shaft, which was in disrepair and was in disrepair, made an unpleasant friction.

Tap, tap, tap...

Slow, shuffling steps walked along the wall.

On the spiral staircase high up, Marvin closed his legs and covered them with his cloak, listening to what was going on below.

Tap, tap, tap...

The footsteps passed by again, crunch~bang, the man closed the door and left.

At noon, the entire palace was quiet, with only the guards patrolling the walls active.

No soldier could see a pair of eyes hidden in the shadow of the bell tower from a distance of 1.4 kilometers.

More than an hour passed, and drizzle fell...

A black carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and Vatier de Lidoux stepped out of the carriage.

He stood in the porch and shook his black silk cloak to prevent water droplets on it from affecting His Majesty's mood.

He waited at the door of the royal study for 10 minutes, and a black-haired nobleman opened the door and left.

As the two passed each other, neither one spoke.

But Vatier knew that this man must have come to discuss how to carve up the Kuhorn family, but that had nothing to do with him, and His Majesty must have distributed his benefits.

After the door behind him was closed tightly, the intelligence chief raised his head slightly and reported: "Your Majesty, Kuhorn's whereabouts have been found."

"Yeah." The emperor didn't even stop writing.

"He was captured by Cintra." Vatier said with a hand behind his back and straightening his back, "The messengers from the northern barbarians are on the way, spreading the 'good~' news that they captured the Imperial Marshal. They are almost there. Claremont."

The corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, as if he was mocking the Yankees for being idiots.

"Ha..." Emhyr also smiled, "How much ransom do they plan to ask for?"

Seeing the emperor's smile, Vatier could no longer bear it. He grinned and held out a finger, "Ten thousand crowns. Or 9,200 orens."

"Hahaha..." Emhyr laughed and said, "That's a lot of money."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I hope Sammy Kuhoun won't feel too distressed. Hehehe..." Vatier greeted his emperor, "Would you like me to help push the ransom higher?"

The emperor waved his hand, "Don't interfere. Haha..."

…

After more than half an hour, the intelligence chief said goodbye and left.

Emhyr Emres stood up, and the rain outside the window became heavier and heavier.

The emperor frowned and looked at the patter of raindrops, feeling a little irritated.

During the seven years of wandering life as a child, he hated rain the most.

Because it’s hard to find food when it rains and it’s cold.

Although the chronic diseases he suffered while wandering have been basically cured, he still feels a dull pain in the seams of his bones every time it rains.

Suddenly Emhyr saw a raven hiding in the treetops.

Although the leaves blocked most of the rain, water droplets kept falling on the poor black bird.

That bird is very strange. Why is it motionless?

Emhyr shook his head to get rid of the boring thoughts of poor bird, and turned towards the door.

Routine walks would definitely not be possible, and he would have to find other things to do for a while.

…

Through Modus's eyes, Marvin saw a man standing at the study window, wearing a gorgeous black and red robe, a neatly slung back hair, and a dignified and rigid face.

Emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emreth.

The emperor only stood at the window for more than ten seconds, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness again, never to come out again.

...More than an hour has passed... It seems that there is no chance today, but at least Marvin is sure that the emperor is indeed in the palace.

Whether a sniper or a hunter, you must have plenty of patience. Marvin calmed down and continued to wait.

That night, Marvin and Modus returned to the warehouse and stayed with Ned for the night.

The rain stopped.

…

The next day, the situation in the palace was no different from yesterday.

Time flies and it is afternoon again. The bright sunshine evaporates the last drop of water on the petals.

Enhyr Enreis, standing at the window of the study, looks at the spring scenery in the garden with satisfaction, and walks briskly to the door.

When he walked out of the imperial study, he whispered two words, "Change clothes and take a walk."

Wow, the guards who had been standing quietly in the corridor immediately split into two teams. One team of 10 people followed the emperor to the deep palace, and the other team of two people walked out of the palace.

The guards moved, nearly a hundred soldiers rushed to the wall, and formed two loose rows with the guards who were already on the wall, one row looking into the palace, and the other row looking outside the palace.

The giant crossbows on the watchtowers were pulled open one after another, and the arrows were facing outward, reflecting the sunlight.

Teams of soldiers trotted around the garden, spears, half-swords, shields...

The emperor stood under the porch of the garden, squinting and looking up at the sky. The weather was really good.

A raven flew up from the bushes, flew over the palace wall, and flew towards the Alba River.

Ned was only a permanent summon, and could not enjoy the same servant treatment as Modus.

Marvin's summoning magic level was poor, and he could only sense his approximate location. He could not contact him over a long distance, and could only be notified by the raven.

Fortunately, there would be no more raven missions in the future, and leaving would not affect anything.

Marvin's long-term plan was to find a way to upgrade Ned to a servant after confirming that he was indeed a good match for him and that he could adapt to the Paradise of Order.

His current authority level was only level 17, and he could only have one servant, and he could only have a second servant at least at level 3. He couldn't rush.

...

Emhyr stood on the steps and took a deep breath. The smell of soil and the fragrance of flowers and plants after the rain made him feel relaxed.

Walking down the steps, the emperor moved his shoulders while walking on the stone path at a not-so-fast pace.

At this time, he would not think about anything, just to relax and stay healthy.

During the rare leisure time, he did not allow anyone to disturb him...

Marvin confirmed in the sniper scope that Emhyr was indeed taking a walk and would not return to the palace for a while. He put away his sniper rifle and cloak, jumped out of the bell tower from the other side, and rushed across the street at the fastest speed.

This was not his scheduled sniper point.

Huh...

The young nobleman with a huge feather on his hat had a flash in his eyes. What jumped over? He didn't see clearly...

Marvin's figure flashed and teleported through three noble ladies who were discussing flower cultivation.

Emhyr pulled off a tender yellow winter jasmine, smelled it, and threw it away casually, and continued to walk...

The corner of the Frostwolf coat brushed against the carriage, and Marvin went into an alley...

When he appeared again, he was covered with a layer of ice-blue scales, and there were wide isolation belts on both sides.

There was nothing in the more than 300-meter-wide circle around the palace, which could not only prevent the enemy from approaching by using cover, but also prevent the fire in the surrounding houses from spreading into the palace.

"Who is it!"

The guards on the city wall noticed something strange and shouted loudly.

Whoosh~whoosh, two crossbow arrows more than one meter long were shot.

Marvin's figure flashed.

Bang bang, the two giant crossbow arrows missed and were nailed into the ground obliquely, but they also served as a warning.

Amid the shouts, the soldiers in the garden quickly moved closer to the emperor...

Enhyr Enreis was very calm. It was just an assassination. He had experienced it too many times.

Before the soldiers around him built a flesh-and-blood wall, he turned around and walked quickly towards the garden porch.

At any time, the emperor's dignity must not be lost. If you run, you will be disqualified.

After Marvin teleported for the third time, he was already standing in the sentry tower on the wall.

With a straight kick, the first guard soldier who gave a warning flew down the city wall with blood spurting out.

The soldier operating the crossbow machine just turned around and was slapped on the head.

Crack, the soldier's neck bone was broken, his head turned 270 degrees, and his body fell to the ground.

In less than a second, Marvin killed two guardsmen instantly, and when he faced the garden again, he had already drawn the Nekomata sniper rifle.

The butt of the gun was against his shoulder, and the crosshairs locked on the back of the black and red robe.

The distance of less than 500 meters was almost certain.

His Majesty Enhyr var Enreis, who had just walked up the steps, was startled and looked back at the tower.

In the gap between the two tower shields, he saw a man holding up a strange stick and aiming at him, and a crossbow was also aimed at the man at the same time...

Whoosh, snap.

The crossbow arrow hit Marvin's shoulder, leaving only a white dot on his left shoulder.

Marvin pulled the trigger without even a trace of shaking.

Bang!

A dull gunshot sounded, and the hydraulic buffer of the butt of the gun quickly shortened and then returned to its original state.

The tungsten nail bullet pulled out a straight blue-white tail light, instantly shooting through several layers of obstacles.

A thick wooden tower shield exploded with a huge gap, and the bullet continued to move forward.

Two layers of chainmail, leather armor and flesh were pierced in an instant.

Finally, blood, flesh and bone fragments spurted out from in front of the emperor.

The tungsten nail bullet finally smashed the thick wooden door, dug a bowl-sized stone pit in the marble floor, and finally disappeared.

Before the emperor had time to turn his head, his eyes quickly lost their luster and fell to the ground.

[Evgeni Ramirez, a lieutenant of the Nilfgaard Guard Corps, has been killed. ]

[Emhyr var Enreis, the Emperor of Nilfgaard, has been killed. ]

The assassination was successful, but not completely successful.

Only escaping the subsequent capture can be considered a hundred percent success...

...
