684 is moving faster than you think
In fact, Mullin's idea is good. It is feasible to mingle with the mercenaries, make a name for themselves in the mercenary world, and attract powerful professionals to your command.
But the problem is in the operation...... She wasn't thorough enough. In fact, many plans, starting points and feasibility are available, but many times, they turn into bad things, and the reason is that the execution is not enough.
As Beta said, Mu Lin's current state is not up or down, hanging in the air, the mercenaries can't see her sincerity, and those who are ambitious think that she is not 'noble' and 'motivated' enough, so naturally they will not come to her.
After listening to Beta's words, Mu Lin left expressionlessly, but the two people who stayed behind knew that Mu Lin listened to Beta's words.
Princess Sasha looked at Beta and said in a low tone, "Thank you for being willing to talk to Mu Lin so much. ”
"No, you don't."
Beta waved his hand, he has also been investigating the affairs of several royal descendants in the past few days, among ordinary people, the second princess has the best reputation, and then the sixth princess.
Although the six princesses were laughed at by the mercenary world, and there were rumors of 'good' women, in essence, Beta didn't see any too bad deeds for the six princesses, let alone the bloody drama of robbing the people's daughters.
"I heard that there is a magic array that can fuse the elements of darkness and light, I don't know if you understand it, teacher."
Beta nodded: "I understand a little." ”
This is not a very precious magic array, but the knowledge involved in the magic array is a bit complicated.
"I want to learn."
"You can't learn, you don't have enough willpower." Beta refused.
"Willpower?" Princess Sasha was a little puzzled: "I am very determined to study the magic array." ”
"It's not that kind of willpower, but the willpower to fight against the spiritual radiation of the magic array." Beta explained: "When many magic arrays are drawn, they will produce spiritual radiation, and people with weak willpower can easily hallucinate. ”
"How can you tell that my willpower is not strong?" Sasha was puzzled.
"You can guess from the experiments you usually do, and the magnitude of mental fluctuations when using magic." Beta thought for a moment and continued, "You don't seem to have received a systematic education in magical knowledge? ”
Princess Sasha smiled awkwardly. As a princess, she should have learned magic relatively easily, but something happened when she was young, and no one wanted to teach her the basics of magic.
I haven't learned magic systematically, and with my own efforts, I still came to this point, and I have to say that Princess Sasha is also a genius.
"Okay then, I'll teach you some basic magic knowledge first, and make up for your shortcomings first."
Princess Sasha's eyes lit up: "Teacher, then let's start now?" ”
Princess Sasha rarely calls Beta by her name, and she always calls Beta 'Teacher'.
For the next few days, Beta spent the days in Princess Sasha's laboratory, teaching her the basics of magic. Of course, there are also some rumors that Princess Sasha's reputation is not very good, after all, it is easy for people to have peachy associations with lonely men and widows.
The sixth princess came twice, and she told some of the rumors about the two of them outside, but Princess Sasha directly ignored it, for her, magic was more important than anything.
Beta didn't care even more...... He is a man, and the news of this kind of news is not a painful thing at all.
After Mu Lin was reprimanded, she began to consider Beta's suggestion, and then with the supplement of her staff, she changed her approach and gradually began to get along with the mercenaries, which made her reputation begin to show signs of improvement, and then, she was ready to take on two or three major tasks according to Beta's words, to see if she could really make a name for herself in the mercenary world.
Everything seems to be going 'good'.
Then Beta and Princess Sasha were assassinated.
Beta takes Princess Salsa to the magic materials shop and teaches her the basics of identifying magic materials. Then on the way out, he was attacked by unknown forces.
Six masked men rushed out of the crowd but were killed before they could get close to Beta and Sasha.
Beta directly killed four people with an arcane missile, and Princess Sasha used a chain of lightning magic to electrocute the remaining two assassins.
After examining the bodies of these assassins, the other party was very cautious, whether it was the weapon or the clothing, it was an ordinary handicraft, and Beta did not find any useful information from it.
After the inspection, Beta and Princess Sasha returned to the manor, he looked at the princess with a calm expression and asked, "Are you used to such assassinations?" ”
"yes, several times a year." Princess Sasha smiled: "So usually I rarely go out, but today I have you to protect me, so I will come out without an escort." ”
"You trust me so much?"
"I think your strength, teacher, is not just at the elite level."
Beta smiled: "If I have a master, why do I still hide it, I can directly get a high title, and a lot of people are willing to pull me into their camp." ”
"It's true, maybe I'm too careful."
Sasha smiled, then went back to her bedroom.
Beta is sometimes really convinced of women's intuition, which is simply a breakthrough in magic, an extremely unscientific thing.
In the evening, an unexpected guest arrived at the manor.
The fifth princess came with a group of soldiers.
The group of soldiers surrounded the manor.
Princess Sasha grabbed her staff and walked out the door, Beta following her. Although Beta is stronger, Princess Sasha, as the owner of this place, must be in front of the curve and talk to the people who come.
"Second sister." When the fifth princess saw Sasha, her expression on her face was very cold: "I heard that you killed six people in the street. ”
When Princess Sasha saw the fifth princess, her face showed a little disgust: "Louise, I haven't seen you for a long time...... If you come to me as a guest, I will welcome it, but what do you mean that you sent the sheriff over and surrounded my manor? ”
"It's just business." Louise looks a little similar to Princess Sasha, but the corners of her eyes are wider, and she looks a little arrogant: "Some people criticize you for killing his subordinates in the street for no reason, so this time I came here to talk about it." ”
Princess Sasha frowned: "Louise, we were assassinated, and you actually said that we killed people in the street for no reason?" ”
"That's why I'm talking to you." Louise showed a strange smile: "I know that second sister, you would never do such a thing, but your subordinates may do." According to the information we received, your subordinate Cook Green killed people in the street, and we have to arrest him for interrogation. If it really has nothing to do with him, it will naturally let him back. ”
Beta raised an eyebrow slightly.
Sasha was extremely dissatisfied: "Louise, you are listening to other people's words, I can guarantee that Cook did not kill indiscriminately, because I was by his side at the time, and I also killed two, do you want to arrest me too?" ”
"Of course not, second sister, you are also a princess, and it is not good for our royal family to be caught in it." Louise still smiled strangely: "In the future, you should stay in the manor and don't come out, so as not to cause anything else." ”
Since Sasha's personality is good, she can't help but feel angry when she hears this.
Beta took two steps up and asked, "Fifth princess, I want to ask, who identified me?" ”
"Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here."
Louise didn't even look at Beta.
Beta chuckled and said, "Idiot. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on him. Sasha froze for a moment, then smiled, then took two steps back, giving up the dominant position to Beta.
With the exception of Beta and Sasha, everyone else opened their mouths.
After a while, Louise reacted, she raised her eyebrows angrily, and shouted, "Are you scolding me? ”
Beta ignored her.
"How dare you insult a member of the royal family?" With a wave of Louise's hand, two master professionals behind her stepped forward to arrest her.
Princess Sasha pointed forward with the magic in her hand, and the walls of the entire manor began to glow, revealing magical lines. In essence, the entire manor has been carved into a magic circle by Sasha.
Naturally, Beta had seen it a long time ago, but he just didn't say it.
"This is my manor, and I see who dares to do it here."
Sasha's face was a little cold.
Louise looked at Beta like a predatory falcon, and after a while, she looked away and looked at Sasha: "Second sister, your subordinates don't take our royal family members seriously, you don't care, no matter what, you are also one of us." ”
Sasha didn't speak, still standing behind her and didn't move.
Beta said: "Princess Louise, I just said an idiot, I didn't name or name, I scolded other people, if you substitute this word yourself, it has nothing to do with me." ”
The slightly weird tone makes people feel angry when they hear it.
Louise looked at Beta coldly, and sneered twice: "What a quibble mouth, when you get to the prison, I'll see if it will be useful." Second sister...... If you care about a little bit of sisterhood, don't make it difficult for me. ”
Sasha frowned, and was about to speak, but Beta blocked in front of her and said, "Princess Louise, this is a matter between you and me, it's not good to involve others, I just want to ask, who identified me?" ”
"Me."
A professional who had just reached LV1 walked up to Beta, with a pair of small mouse eyes and an arrogant expression on his face: "I saw you kill five ordinary citizens for no reason. ”
"And then?" Beta stepped forward and pressed on the other's shoulder.
And then......
The man had no chance to speak, for he turned into a humanoid torch in full view of everyone, and in less than half a minute, it was reduced to a pile of ashes.
Spellcasters of LV12 level do not need to use real spells to deal with beginner professionals, as long as they pour magic elements into the opponent's body, they will naturally achieve the purpose of killing.
"There are no witnesses now." Beta stall spreads hands.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Louise looked at the ashes on the ground, her whole body trembled, and there were even some bloodshot shots in her eyes: "You dare to ......"
But her voice immediately stopped in the next moment.
Princess Sasha's wand in her hand was aimed at Louise, and her expression was as cold as ice: "Fifth sister, I have always been very relenting, if you think I am a bully because of this, then it is a big mistake, take your people and get out, otherwise I will kill you directly if I don't introduce you here." Anyway, if you kill the seventh brother, then there is no problem for me to kill a sister. ”
The light on the walls of the manor grew brighter and brighter, and the entire manor was filled with a violent magical element, Louise glanced at Beta viciously, and then lowered her voice and shouted, "Let's go." ”
Then she walked away from the manor and left with a group of soldiers.
After a while, Princess Sasha's wand loosened and fell to the ground, and she sat down on the ground, her forehead covered with beads of sweat.
At the same time, she also patted her chest gently: "Scared me to death, scared me to death." It's a good thing that the magic array didn't get out of control, otherwise we would all be finished. ”
The glow of the magic array faded.
Beta also sighed helplessly, just now he also felt that the magic array was indeed on the verge of getting out of control, that is to say, the magic array drawn by Sasha in the manor was a flawed product.
"You'll need more solid magic array skills." Beta pulled Sasha up, "I'll educate you well." ”
Sasha smiled shyly.
Louise walked back with the soldiers and guards, her anger filled but she couldn't vent it.
In the past, the second sister of the angry bag, who had always been submissive, actually resisted, which made her extremely unhappy.
With a wave of her hand, she asked the sheriff to take the soldiers away while she and the two master guards returned to her estate.
She sat in the carriage and pondered how to kill Beta...... By the way, kill your second sister again.
In the past, the second sister didn't resist, and she felt that it didn't matter if she kept it, but now...... She changed her mind.
Louise's estate was on the western outskirts of the Intramuros, and she was riding in a carriage when she suddenly felt quiet around her.
Although the road used to be just as quiet, at least not the sound of insects and birds, but now ...... She couldn't hear anything.
"Turn around." Louise's heart burst and she hurriedly shouted.
The coachman, a master warrior, immediately turned his horse's head, but it was too late.
A group of gray-robed men wearing white weeping masks suddenly appeared in front of and behind the carriage.
This group of people exuded a thick murderous aura all over their bodies, and they pressed over like a boulder.
Louise's face turned pale: "This can't be, Crying Mask, how can it be done to me?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the twenty or so professionals wearing weeping masks started at the same time, and they turned into a gray light and shadow, and after just a few seconds, they passed back and forth around the carriage like transparent people.
The carriage was tossed up and down with mockery, shattering into countless pieces of wood, and Louise's body fell and fell to the ground into pieces of flesh, and her head fell to the ground, rolling long distances, and finally facing up.
Unable to close his eyes, he stared blankly at the sky, as if asking: Why!
Beta, who was resting in Princess Salsa's manor, suddenly sighed. Half a minute later, Joan of Arc landed on the window, grabbed the key to the royal tomb that Beta had given her, and flew into the sky.
