Looking at the young man in front of him who was pale, with a pair of round-rimmed glasses, and was about to cry out with fear, Dai Li didn't even have the heart to sigh.

"I really didn't expect that Grand Duke Dalt would actually send you............ Roddy ........."

"I didn't expect that, Deli........."

In the face of Dai Li's gaze, the young man also had a sad face, his skin was white, and he even looked a little weak. His long gray hair was tied with a small whip and draped behind his back. The soft face like a girl looked a little lost and uneasy at the moment. To be honest, if you don't know the gender of the other party, even if it's Daili, I'm afraid she will only think of him as a girl. But fortunately, Deli and he have not known each other for a day or two, knowing that this only son of the Grand Duke of Dalter has always been this character, he has been cowardly since he was a child, and he has no opinions. Because Archduke Dart was a very strong man, it made him more submissive.

Since the Dult family and the Pawood family are long-term allies, in a sense, Deli and Roddy can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. But this is the end of the relationship between the two parties, although in terms of age, Roddy is older than Deli, these two people should be brother and sister, but looking at his bowed and pleasing attitude in front of Deli, it feels more like a brother and sister......... Oh no, I should say that sisters are.

"I, I don't want to......... Deli ......... But that's what my father meant............"

Hearing Deli's inquiry, Roddy sighed bitterly. He has a cowardly personality and his only hobby is reading. In addition, he has never had the slightest consciousness of a noble child, not to mention going out with a dog's legs. It's to go hunting, to go to a tea party. He doesn't have the ability to hook up with a noble lady at all.

"Grand Duke Dalter is actually relieved to let you out?"

Although in front of Jenn, because of the problem of strength and aura, Dai Li could only stand it, but in front of this weak "sister", she immediately turned over and became a strong attacker.

"I don't know what my father thinks......... He just told me to participate in this competition, and then he asked me to bring someone here............"

Hearing this, Roddy was also about to cry. A pair of big eyes were suddenly mist, and his long eyelashes couldn't stop shaking--his body, which had inherited from the blood of his half-elf mother, was already weak, and he made such an expression at this moment. No matter how you look at it, isn't this a girl I feel sorry for?

Seeing this scene, Dai Li couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. In fact, there have been rumors on the streets and alleys that suspect that the son of this lord is actually a woman disguised as a man. Because the position of lord is passed on to men and not to women, just like the Pawood family, not to mention that there are two brothers in front of Dailie, even if she doesn't, she can't be a lord. At most, she would marry someone in the family who was loyal and capable, and then her husband would become Lord of Pawood. And all Dali has to do is to maintain the family bloodline, as long as she can give birth to a child with Pawood blood, then Deli's family mission is completed.

And the same is true of Grand Duke Dalter. He only had one child, Roddy, whose mother died in childbirth after giving birth to him. Grand Duke Dart was very affectionate towards his wife, and he did not marry another wife after that. And Roddy is obviously going to inherit the family for now, if he really is a girl. Then it is absolutely impossible to inherit the lordship. Therefore, there have always been people in the market who suspect that this young master was actually born as a girl, but in order to have a nominal and legitimate heir, Grand Duke Dalter raised her as a man. But this is just a rumor, after all. Even Deli, who grew up with him, doesn't know if it's true or not.

Hearing Roddy's answer, Dai Li only shook her head helplessly. She also knew very well that this weak heir was like that. As long as it was his father's words, it was a holy decree for him, even if the Grand Duke of Dalter told him to die. I'm afraid that Roddy can only do it with a sad face. In a way, Roddy's loyalty to his father is extremely rare, especially in the cruel environment of nobility. In the face of interests, sometimes even the relationship between father and son is as fragile as a piece of paper. Although Roddy has a cowardly personality, he has nothing to say about his feelings for Grand Duke Dalt. You must know the danger of the martial arts ceremony Luo Di is also very clear, with his cowardly attitude, this kind of thing is definitely how far away to hide, but unfortunately the Grand Duke has already spoken, so he can only bite the bullet.

"That's right......... Deli ........."

Saying this, Roddy hesitated for a moment, he cautiously glanced at the girl knight who was resting not far away, and Patilina, who was leaning against a stalactite with her eyes closed, and then turned her head to ask with a blushing face.

"What is your relationship with these beautiful young ladies? How come I've never seen them before? ”

"They're ........."

Hearing this question, Dai Li couldn't help but show a somewhat embarrassed expression. In fact, she didn't know how to define the relationship with Patilina. After all, strictly speaking, Patilina and the others were only temporarily "loaned" to Deli by Jenn, and when the ceremony was over, Deli had to return them. Of course, the eldest lady never thought of leaving Patilina and the others behind, although the two sides got along fairly peacefully before, and there were no conflicts. But Deli had already noticed from Patilina's indifference to her that these people were not interested in the Pawood family.

And Daily is also very aware of their strength, and it is impossible for the Pawood family to keep these powerful beings. But now in front of the alliance, of course, she can't say these things too bluntly, so in the face of Roddy's curious inquiry, Daili doesn't know how to explain. So she also hesitated for a moment, and finally replied.

"They are my protectors."

As she spoke, Dailie briefly introduced to Roddy what the Dharma Protector was all about, and Roddy didn't know much about it, so she didn't care about it anymore after listening to what Dally said. On the contrary, he is more concerned with another issue at the moment.

"That's right. Delily......... It's rare for us to meet each other this time, so let's just go together. So that we can take care of each other........."

That's what you really think.

Hearing Roddy's words, Daily rolled her eyes helplessly. Then she sighed secretly in her heart, she was completely speechless for her "sister".

But at this moment, Delly did not notice that Patilina, who was resting on the stalactite pillar, was staring at the entrance of the cave with mocking eyes, and the coldness contained in those eyes was like a sharp blade, about to be unsheathed.

One qiē is normal.

It wasn't until he touched the hole that David breathed a sigh of relief. The sudden arrival of those men almost disrupted David's plans, but luckily he quickly made adjustments, and not only that. David was also pleasantly surprised to find that these people who had come to take shelter from the rain were the team of the Pawood family -- they really had nowhere to find their iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there. Originally, David was still struggling with how to find the other party. But for now, it is clear that they don't need to make any more effort.

Next, as long as the Pawood family and the Ginkgo Collar are wiped out here, then they can complete the mission!

Because of this, David immediately gave up his original plan, but quickly reassembled the scattered manpower, and he wanted to gather all his forces to completely destroy the target in front of him!

The sound coming from inside the cave became quieter and quieter. This indicated that the fellows were resting, and David could sense the breath coming from near the entrance of the cave. However, for them, this kind of Cheng dù's enemy is not worth mentioning at all.

It's just a group of elite guards.

David silently felt into the cave and glanced around. Then his whole body melted into the darkness like a ghost, and my sister jumped so suddenly. The next moment, his figure appeared next to one of the guards who was keeping vigil against the wall. Then David reached out and covered the other man's mouth. The dagger in his hand slashed forward, and the next moment, the guard who had been standing suddenly collapsed into his arms. And David was gentle. Slowly put it on the ground, careful not to make a sound. When he looked up again, the guards around him had been dealt with, and the black-clad Assassins stepped out of the shadows, then they looked at each other before merging with the darkness again.

Shadow Dancer.

As killers in the dark, David's assassination group is the most powerful of the entire Eagle Plateau, hiding in the shadows of the darkness, killing mercilessly like the messengers of death. They are able to move freely between the shadow planes and the main planes, and with this power they can traverse obstacles, and almost no one can hinder them from achieving their goals.

No one.

Holding back the cold stinging sensation of the shadow plane around his body, David slowly opened his eyes and carefully examined the environment in front of him. In front of them was a natural cave that was not too small. There were no other entrances and exits around, which made David feel a lot more relaxed. Looking around, I saw that most of the people had fallen into a deep sleep at this moment, although there were still a few night watchmen on the periphery, but looking at their appearance, it seemed that they did not notice anything unusual outside.

But it's only a matter of time.

As he thought, David quietly slid in the direction of his target by following the shadows, the talent of the shadow dancers to melt into the shadows and darkness as if they were swimming in water. And right now, in this dark and dim cave, it can be regarded as the best stage for shadow dancers.

And along the way, David has also felt the strength of these people clearly, and most of the soldiers in the Ginkgo Biloba Collar are elite level, so there is nothing to fear. On the contrary, it was the people brought by the Pawood family that made David a little incomprehensible, and on the surface, these girl knights had no strength at all. And David didn't notice any powerful aura in them at all. Logically speaking, this is also normal, because these girls don't look like they're in their teens, and no matter how strong they are, they can't be much stronger. But David always felt that this was something abnormal, if these girls really didn't have much fighting power, would the Pawood family send them here?

Although he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, David didn't have time to hesitate anymore, once the night watchman found those guards killed by himself and others when they changed shifts, then their assassination mission would be declared a failure. In any case, the victory or defeat is here, and it must be done!

Thinking of this, he clenched his dagger and stared at Patilina, who was leaning on the stalactite pillar and falling into a deep sleep not far in front of him, although he didn't know who this little girl was, and he couldn't feel her breath at all, but judging from the armor that this little girl was wearing, she should be the leader of those girl knights. The so-called thief captures the king first, as long as you can take down this little girl first, then there should be no problem!

Thinking of this, David made a gesture to the others, and then he slowly raised the dagger in his hand and came to the girl under the cover of the shadows, and then the next moment, David suddenly burst out of the black shadow like a poisonous snake and stabbed at Patilina!

His movements were so fluid that almost no one noticed what was happening here. And watching his dagger stab in front of the girl, David couldn't help but show a little smug smile, he couldn't wait to feel the touch of the blade in his hand tearing the girl's delicate body.

But at this time, David found that the girl in front of him, who was originally sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him. In those cold eyes, the only thing David could see was mockery.

Not good!!

Almost at the same time, an ominous premonition suddenly emerged from the depths of David's heart. (To be continued......)
