7. Assassination
The next day, at dawn, Sean, Cecilia, Shephaneo, Rena, and the other four left the small hotel.
Sean has always felt that there must be some secret to this little hotel, because his instinct as a player tells him that the more ordinary something seems to be extreme, the more likely it is to be extraordinary. It's just that this little old man completely ignored him, which made Sean estimate that he should lack some special conditions so he didn't react, of course, it is also possible that this old man is more withdrawn.
But for a player like Sean, he'd rather believe it's the former.
It is said that the royal family of Lane intends to split and repair the outer city, preparing to transform it into a model of the axis city - that is, the architectural layout of the inner city is directly replicated in the outer city area of the original Tonis Fortress.
Last night, Sean had already walked around the inner city of Tonis Fortress.
He found that although the Tonys Fortress was now officially under military control, there was actually a very obvious difference in the quality of the legionnaires in the inner and outer cities. And through the communication with Broad last night, Sean has generally understood that the current situation of the Seventh Legion is actually equivalent to a small aristocratic circle: those noble children who have chosen a backer to gain a firm foothold can enter the inner city to search for oil and water, while those who can't find a backer can only go to the outer city to take charge of the hard and tiring work.
Broad, after his surname was stripped away by the Sebarox family, he was no different from the nobles in the outer city.
It wasn't until he was re-taken by the Rhodes family and became second in line to the throne that his situation improved. It's just that after going through many things and the most difficult half a year of his life, the current Broad really disdains to be in the same league with the children of the nobility who find a backer and pretend to be powerful. That's why I met Sean outside the fortress yesterday.
This explains why Broad knows so much about the patrol lines of the inner city.
Because of Broad's warrant for Sean, they didn't get into any trouble when they left the inner city. After all, in terms of identity alone, Broder is the real highest-ranking one in the Seventh Legion - as long as the next head of the Rhodes family has not yet been determined, even if Broder is now only mixed with the title of a baron, no one will dare to provoke him as his heir to the throne.
In this way, it also saves Sean a lot of trouble.
And through this, Sean also found that Broad has indeed matured a lot. He not only knows how to add an extra fig leaf to himself in dealing with things, but also knows how to give up some so-called face problems for the sake of interests, and even knows how to deal with things more thoroughly. Sean feels like he's witnessing the birth of a future political conspirator.
But he didn't reject this feeling.
Because of Broad's behavior, it also gave Sean some reminders.
In fact, Sean knew that asking Rena to bring the Blackstone out would probably cause some unnecessary trouble, but the Earthwalker wasn't as easy to coax as Gollum or Marshmallow - neither the Earthwalker nor the Wyvern. Such creatures usually identify only one owner for the rest of their lives, and once they have identified the owner. Then you will always be inseparable from the master.
So I want to leave Blackstone in the Void Collar. It's completely impossible.
Sean bets that this guy won't see Rina when he gets up the next day, then there will definitely be a news of a monster going wild in the Void Collar. Therefore, he had no choice but to ask Rena to bring the black stone, although this was indeed a bit ostentatious and full of ostentatious flavor - for players in the game, this kind of behavior is indeed showing off and pretending to be 13, but for the sake of the safety of the territory. Sean had to do the same, so they were disguised as adventurers along the way.
Originally, it stands to reason that even if an adventurer team or mercenary group has an Earthwalking Dragon Knight, those nobles will not pay too much attention to it. After all, because of the stubbornness of the Earth Walking Dragon, they are also very clear. It's just that Sean didn't anticipate the turbulent and chaotic situation in the Ryan Kingdom now, so the appearance of an earth-walking dragon knight at this time is as exciting as a cat seeing a fish for those nobles who are eager to quickly increase their strength.
So it is a matter of course to cause some unnecessary confusion and receive the attention of all parties.
"Somebody's following us." About half a day's journey from Tonis Fortress, Rena suddenly spoke.
Sean's expression moved slightly, but it didn't stop because of this, and the four of them continued to move forward. It's just that Blackstone is a little restless, it began to spew heavily, with a very obvious desire to attack, if it weren't for Rena standing aside and patting Blackstone's body, I'm afraid this big guy would start to go berserk. Of course, with Blackstone's restless behavior, Marshmallow, who had been sleeping on Blackstone's back, also woke up a little unpleasantly.
"A few people." Seeing the performance of these two monsters, Sean knew that the person who was following the other party was definitely not a good person.
Creatures such as earth-walking dragons have very keen perceptions, so they can usually detect prey in a long distance and start a hunt. Therefore, whether it is breath, smell, or anything else, the earthly dragon is very sensitive. Therefore, there is only one reason why the Earth Walking Dragon can become agitated at this moment: Heishi feels a very strong or strong murderous aura and killing intent.
It is only when they feel threatened that the Dragons become agitated and exhibit the aggressiveness of dragon-like creatures.
"About three to five people." After all, Rena was born as a mercenary, and now her strength is at the peak of the upper gold, and she also took the bottle of [Ancient Dragon Bloodline] potion that Andrew gave before, although the power of the bloodline in her body has not yet completely shown a state of manifestation and activation, but the improvement of all aspects of attributes and the sharpness of perception are very obvious, so this does help Rena use her previous experience and skills to judge the number of enemies, without having to find a way to counter-detect.
"Now that Broad's status in the Seventh Legion has risen, even if his actions make the nobles of the other Seventh Legions dissatisfied, at least no one will offend him now." Sean's brows furrowed, obviously a little incomprehensible, "In this case, we left Tonis Fortress with Broad's letter, why would anyone dare to follow us?" And ......"
Speaking of this, Sean's gaze also swept towards the black stone, this mutant emperor dragon has become more and more manic, which also means that the other party is gradually approaching them. At this moment, Sean understood that the people who were following them on the other side were probably not as simple as simply stalking, and maybe they really wanted to solve them. And Zhilu said that there was a dragon knight on their side who dared to choose to make a move, which obviously showed that the other party was confident that he could limit Rena's power.
"It looks like those guys are supposed to be people who have a direct conflict of interest with Broad." After Sean figured out these keys, he let out a slight sneer, "The biggest possibility should be that the first heir of the Rhodes family was sent, and it seems that there are also intrigues and disputes within the Seventh Legion." ”
"So how?" Cecilia asked.
"Since the opponents are coming, then if we don't fight back, we will be too sorry for our luxury lineup." Sean stopped, and then suddenly threw off the cloak, and at the same time, he directly activated the two trump card skills of light body technique and adrenal stimulation, and the whole person had already rushed towards the rear.
The enemy may be looking down on Sean and the others, so the distance between them and Sean and the others has been constantly shrinking, and in the face of such a close distance, Sean doesn't even need Rena's reminder at all, he knows where these guys are hiding. Therefore, under the full opening of the two trump card skills, Sean has already rushed in front of his opponent with a full speed run, and seeing a touch of surprise on the opponent's face, Sean waved his hand is a sword.
In the face of such a sudden attack, although the middle-aged man was shocked, he did not panic. Although he didn't know why Sean would find him hiding here, it was pointless to think about it now, so he raised his hand slightly—he already held a short sword in his right hand, the shape of this short sword was very simple, but its texture was by no means ordinary, because the middle-aged man actually blocked the blade of the dead bone sword that Sean swung at with this short sword.
I heard a metal sound of "ding" suddenly come out, accompanied by the splash of sparks, and the pupils of Sean and the middle-aged man both shrank.
Both of them knew that they had really met their opponents this time.
But before the two of them could fight again, two more people rushed towards Sean from the side, the speed of these two people was almost identical, and even the weapons they used were the same, and it was obvious that the three people Sean was facing were an assassination team that had cooperated for a long time. Being able to have such exquisite means is enough to prove that these people are by no means simple opponents, at least they are also a somewhat famous killer assassin on the Southern Continent.
But of these two people, there is one person who is faster than them.
Rena!
A flame spear shattered into the air, and before Rena arrived, the spear arrived.
The tip of the spear tapped on the short sword of a killer, and a powerful impact suddenly burst out, but it was not Rena retreating, but the killer who had a hard time with Rena was directly blown out of the air, and the person had already spat out several mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.
But Rena can block one person, but she can't stop the second.
At this time, the short sword in his hand had already stabbed towards Sean's side!
From this point of view, if he is pierced, Sean's heart will definitely be pierced! (To be continued......)
