The balance in the elf's heart tilted towards the direction of the magic props, and his pale golden pupils stared at the young man: "In this case, sign a contract and act in accordance with the contract."
……
Under the watchful eyes of the Endless Light and the Queen, Lorenno's team signed a contract with the master and servant. They escorted the two to the other side of the portal and protected the master and servant for half a month. If the time was extended, they would have to pay more.
After signing the contract, Lorenno put the parchment away and said: "We will set off tomorrow morning."
"Aren't you going to move with the convoy?"
Velvet was a little worried, feeling that five people could not protect him. The elf said: "Of course, operating with the caravan can hinder the assassin. He
If they directly tell you that they are here to arrest you, what do you think the caravan members will do? "
The noble young master's eyes widened: "I am the son of an earl, they dare!"
"Someone has assassinated you. Why don't the merchants dare to hand you over?"
"Can't you kill them all?"
Velvet said naturally. After hearing this, Fenoa wrote down these words. She was somewhat suspicious of the aristocratic boy's camp tendencies and prepared to report it to the Queen to ask Kenneth to pay attention to the child's education.
No longer talking nonsense with the noble young master, Lorenno and the others started doing their own things. The elf subconsciously compared him with Connie and found that the princess was much better than this boy.
……
Early the next morning, Lorenno and the merchant settled the rewards for the past few days, separated from the caravan at the fork in the road, followed the assassin who was far away and reported it to the assassin leader after discovering it.
The man in black was a little impatient: "Now that they are far away from the caravan, why can't we take action?"
"That's the blood beast Lorenno," the assassin glanced at the black-robed man coldly, "We don't have enough food for her."
At some point, Lorenno's reputation had already spread, at least in the chaotic area.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"What we want to capture is Velvet. Let's wait until the Blood Beast team leaves before we take action."
The man in black robe said sternly: "What if they escort him to Dovlay!"
"Then we will return the deposit to you," the assassin sneered, "Haha, your deposit is not worth our head-on fight with the blood beast."
"How much will it cost?"
Arriving safely outside the teleportation city, Velvet poked his head in his carriage: "Why didn't anyone come to catch me?"
"They feel they are weaker than us now and prepare."
Lorenno saw the assassins walking away through the plants. She didn't think they were going to give up the mission. It was more likely that they were calling for someone.
Feeling the magic fluctuations in the air, a portal higher than the city gate appeared in front of everyone. The new type of transportation gave the elves a sense of insecurity.
Everyone entered the city and came to the vicinity of the portal. Through inquiries, they learned that the portal would open in five days, so they booked four rooms and prepared to wait for the portal to open.
Velvet and the maid's room were surrounded, which would allow everyone to protect him when the noble young master made a noise. The elf repeatedly warned Velvet not to walk around casually, and went to the city guardhouse with Fenoa and ordered The remaining three people guarded the young master.
……
ps: Three updates today and three updates tomorrow.
Chapter 236 Cow
Lorenno stood waiting at the door, while Finoa entered the city guardhouse alone to contact the "Shadow Crows" stationed in Dovlai.
Compared with the empire's bright side, the intelligence of their organizations in the dark is more accurate.
"Number 224, what's the matter?"
The assassin girl did not turn on the screen and simply spoke to the resident: "I met Velvet Weber and I need to know the recent news about Count Weber and what he needs me to do."
Within 3 minutes, the garrison told Finoa the information he had obtained, and there was really a task that required her help.
After hearing the unexpected news, the assassin girl felt that they were going to change their policy.
Fenoa has no friends of her own to have further conversations with. She still has the most important mission. She cannot tell anyone anything related to His Highness, and the same goes for other missions.
……
"Ms. Lorenno, I got the news."
Sitting opposite the elf, Finoa's tone was a little strange: "It is reported that the eldest son of Earl Weber was sent to hunt down the Velvets."
"What's going on? Didn't you say family harmony?"
"At least that was the case a month ago."
Miss Assassin told Lorenno what happened to the Weber family, and after listening to it, she realized that it was related to family ethics issues.
Kenneth Webb's first wife was previously said to have died of illness, but there is new evidence that the death of Kenneth Webb's first wife is likely to be related to himself. This incident also made Dill, also known as Webb, The count's eldest son found out.
"This Sir Dill was probably raised by his second wife," Lorenno still remembered Finoa saying, "He and his mother don't have such a deep relationship."
The elf didn't believe that he would give everything for a strange and blood-related person.
"Sir Dill is not Lord Kenneth's biological son."
"Oh."
now it's right.
The original family harmony was based on the fact that Velvet was still young and the threat to Dill's succession to the earlship was extremely low. But suddenly one day he found out that he was not his father's biological son. What should he do?
In the inheritance of the imperial title, priority is given to the eldest son of the first wife, and the adopted son is ranked before relatives and relatives' children. If he is not a biological child, this Dill will be moved from the first line of earl inheritance to behind Velvet.
The elf doesn't understand such things as power, but the historical facts, movies, and TV series that happened in another world in her mind tell her about people's desire for power. It's not surprising what Sir Dill will do.
"But what he wants to do is to kill Velvet. Those assassins don't seem to have this intention."
Lorenno recalled the actions of the assassins and determined that they wanted to capture the noble young master, not kill him. After all, if they really wanted to kill someone, they could just shoot him and stab him.
Hedgehog.
"This..." Finoa didn't quite understand, "Maybe Dill still has a family relationship, but she just wants Earl Kenneth to make a choice and force him to give up his throne?"
"Is the title transferable?" The elf looked over.
Finoa shook her head: "No, but what if the eldest son just wants Kenneth to die, and then signs a contract that he will not do anything to his brothers and sisters as long as he is in power?"
"Maybe," Lorenno took a sip of tea, "What does the empire say?"
"Let us escort Velvet to Teleport City No. 214," Fenoa added, "which is also close to Dovlei."
"Will the empire issue mission rewards?"
"Of course, the empire doesn't care whether your mission overlaps or is the same as other missions. No matter how much you gain from other missions, you will be rewarded as long as you complete it."
The balance in the elf's heart once again favored escorting Velvet. As for the danger, she had escorted Connie before, so there was no danger.
boom! !
An explosion occurred not far away. Lorenno looked up and looked out the window. The distance was calculated to be the hotel he just checked into: "It starts so soon?"
Velvet was feeling uncomfortable sitting on the hard bed. These days of sleeping in the open air had weakened his young master's disease, and it relapsed as soon as he arrived in the city.
"Master, what's the matter?"
"It's okay," Velvet Webb sighed, "I don't know when my family will come to pick us up."
Konjac smiled and helped him take off his clothes: "Don't worry, I will be here soon."
As soon as he took off his coat, long pipes were smoking and thrown into the hotel. Velvet naturally knew that they were detonators. He was a level 1 mage and the maid Konjac was a level 5 assassin. If the detonator exploded next to him, he would become minced meat.
The desire to survive made him shout: "Help!"
The wall next to him shattered. Elsa broke through the barrier and came to the boy's side. She swung her giant sword and blew the detonator out of the window.
Continuous explosions sounded, and people on the street fled in panic, and the area fell into chaos.
Only then did Sha Luo come over and ask, "What happened!"
"The traces of the detonator explosion are the pursuers." Vita, who came over slowly, said when he saw the mess in the house.
"Vita, what should we do now?"
Elsa looked at the construct girl. The cold Arlo told them to obey Vita's command before leaving.
Vita scanned the scattered crowd below: "Because there are too many people, it is recommended to defend in place. Miss Aisha will block the explosives, and Miss Sarao, I and the maid will protect the mission target."
If they had to squeeze into the crowd now, it would be impossible for them to take care of Velvet in real time in the chaotic situation, and Vita noticed that the people who dropped the detonators were different from the last assassins.
The previous assassin just wanted to capture the young master of the Weibo family, but this time he wanted to kill him, and the detonator he threw was definitely enough to kill him.
The few people waited for a while, and the assassin who threw the detonator did not move again until Lorenno and Finoa came with the city guards.
The detonators thrown by Aisha all flew upwards and did not injure too many people. After paying for hotel accommodation, for safety reasons, the seven people temporarily stayed in the city guardhouse.
"So this assassination is not the same organization as the last attack."
Vita told the elf what he knew, Lorenno looked at Finoa, and the assassin girl said she didn't know.
There are two groups of people staring at Velvet Webb now. One group wants to assassinate him, and the other group wants to capture him. They don’t know why.
Closing his eyes, Lorenno asked the plants near the hotel if they had seen the professional who threw the detonator. Their weak soul energy formed a memory and passed it to the elves. Seeing that the attack was ineffective, a group of men in black robes wanted to rush over, but saw Ai. Sha stopped in an instant.
After saying something to each other, they left in one direction.
Chapter 237 Time difference
"I'm going out."
Knowing the direction in which the assassin was leaving, Lorenno intended to follow him. Finoa stood up and asked, "Do you want to help?"
"I'll just go by myself, Miss Finoa, please wait until Master Weber wakes up and tell him what happened at home."
Velvet was knocked unconscious in the previous explosion, and the elf guessed that his physical strength was only 4-6 points.
Arriving near the hotel, the memory of the plants resurfaced in the elf's mind, and he started to blend into the forest and shuttle through the green belt. After a while, he found his target. The last thing the assassin entered was a villa.
Since there were no plants in the villa, Lorenno inhaled and held his breath before entering, bypassing the monitor and sticking to the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"What about Master Dill's mission? It's the giant wolf Elsa, which means the blood beast Lorenno is also nearby."
"Incentives?"
"Do you think a princess's attendant would be short of money?"
"so what should I do now."
"Anyway, let's inform Lord Dill first."
A professional who looked like a mage set up a complex magic circle on the ground, placed many valuables on it and cast spells. A man with a firm face that was completely different from Velvet appeared in front of several people. Of course, Lorenno could not see it.
"Lord Dill, something went wrong. The giant wolf Elsa appeared near the target and was still protecting him.
"
Dill thought for a moment: "Are there any soldiers from the Weber family? They were attacked before?"
The assassins looked at each other and then remembered that Velvet was only surrounded by hired men, which meant that the Webber family's private soldiers were missing and most likely dead.
"Monitor them and don't do anything again in the meantime."
The communication was cancelled, and someone asked: "What's next?"
"Look at it."
……
Lorenno left the villa, and on the way he was thinking about who the other group was. This group of people who wanted to kill Velvet were sent by Dill Webb to kidnap him.
Back at the city guardhouse, the weak young man was still in a state of disbelief and said to himself: "No way, my brother would never send someone to kill me."
"It has been found out that the people who came to kill him are his brother's people. I don't know which group of assassins want to kidnap him."
"This is impossible!"
Velvet shouted: "There's no way my brother could do such a thing, you're lying to me!"
After speaking, Velvet was about to run out, but Lorenno did not step forward to stop him. After the maid grabbed the young master, she said coldly: "It is clearly stated in the contract. If you leave by yourself, it means that you do not need our protection. The contract is void, and you will have to face the killer yourself."
The angry young master was still very concerned about his own safety. He immediately stopped, looked at Lorenno and asked, "Miss Lorenno, are you telling the truth?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm only responsible for handing you over to your family's private soldiers. I'll ask your father for the rest."
