"Dragon Hunter Order ......"

Seeing the tattoo, Rykan immediately remembered the warrior he had fought against, it was five years ago, and like the assassin, the warrior also wore a mask.

During that battle, he shattered the warrior's mask and saw the same tattoo as the assassin, and it was also tattooed on his face.

The warrior was a 'transcendent' like him, and not only that, but the warrior was also the leader of a team.

The battle took place in a ruin in the territory of the Principality of Eagles, where Rykan followed a team of adventurers into the ruin, and they were defeated in that battle, but they also paid a heavy price.

Later, Rickan also inquired about the news of those people, and indeed got some information that I don't know if it is true or false.

Some say that their name is 'Dragon Hunting Order' and they are part of the Dragon Witch Cult, others say that they are lurkers of hell, and others say that they are actually a bottomless abyss behind them, because every time they appear, they always bring chaos.

However, it is certain that the name of their organization is the Dragon Hunting Order, and the combatants all wear a mask with a tattoo of 'a sword that cuts off the dragon's head' on their faces.

Of course, after all, it was a group of adventurers, and they hadn't really met anyone from the other Dragon Hunting Order other than the combatants, and it was possible that they had met them, but they didn't recognize them.

"Rekan, you know?"

Before the other nobles arrived, the assassin's head and mask were placed in front of Krylov III and Rykan, which was to be used next.

The nezumi nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I once fought with them, but that time I lost and fled in disarray. However, their features are too obvious, and the masks may not be the same, but the tattoos under the masks are still clear in my memory. ”

Rickan's hands had been treated, but he was still unable to move, so he pointed to the tattoo on the face of the head with the tip of his nose and said, "The news of the [Dragon Hunting Order] has only circulated among a few adventurers, so it's normal that Your Majesty doesn't know. They are not very famous, but their combat power can be said to be very strong, like this assassin, the number of such transcendents in that organization should be very large, at least as far as I know, the number of their transcendents should be no less than twenty!"

Hearing Rykan's words, Krylov III raised an eyebrow.

What is the concept of 'no less than twenty transcendents'?

In addition to the abnormal Sorrowful Wind Lord, generally speaking, there are only about forty to fifty transcendents in the average dukedom, and adventurers must be added.

In a standard kingdom such as the Kingdom of Kolo or the Kingdom of Kurt, there are only five to seven dukedoms in a kingdom, one of which is still the territory of the royal family, and there is only about one dukedom that the royal family can directly control.

"But they were able to send a transcendent assassin to assassinate you, and they brought a magic sword with them......" Rickan's face furrowed, "I think we need to reassess their power and purpose!, because in the past, they would only operate in sparsely populated places, and many times, they would operate in the ruins, like that time, they defeated us, and soon after, the ruins collapsed, and we all agreed at the time that it was the ghost of the Dragon Hunting Order." ”

Because it is not very harmful to human society, and the collapse of the ruins of the Arcane Empire is not a strange thing, the spies of the nobles have been very perfunctory.

Speculation cannot be used as evidence, so the news about the [Dragon Hunting Order] has not circulated in the upper echelons of society.

Krylov III had already told Rykan about the origin of the magic sword, and because he was not sure of its danger, it was currently left in place, just like the corpse, and would not be dealt with until the results of the mage's examination came out.

Krylov III had a flexible mind, and after listening to Rikan's words, he understood many things.

Although Krylov III was a king and a mage himself, he must have a strong life-saving power, but judging from the performance of the assassin, if Rykan did not return in time, then he would indeed die.

If Rykan hadn't been able to make it back, the assassin wouldn't have been corrupted by the magic sword, because Krylov III was dead before then.

The assassin must have been staring at him for a long time, and there must have been a mole around him, otherwise, the assassin would not have known that Rykan had left his side.

Because he was already on the way to victory, Krylov III was inevitably a little lax, but he didn't expect that an assassin would emerge at such a time, and he almost succeeded in assassination, which had to make Krylov III more vigilant.

"If I'm not mistaken......"

At this time, after pondering for a long time, Rykan spoke again: "The Dragon Hunting Order should have no less than thirty Transcendents, and they must have some Arcane Empire legacy, because according to the news, they are often found in the ruins of the Arcane Empire. They must be more than combatants, otherwise they can't support an organization with those things in the ruins of the Arcane Empire, and they must have other funding chains. ”

"Merchant?" Krylov III nodded, "This is also a clue, since the combatants do not hesitate to wear masks to get a tattoo on their faces, then let alone other people, there may be other people who also have tattoos, but in some relatively secret and not easy to be detected by others." ”

Krylov III's original tent had been broken, so the servants had to temporarily find a working set from the baggage, which was not as luxurious as the previous one, but relatively comfortable.

However, Krylov III has already decided that he will no longer live in the main material plane, as a mage, he can use the [Extradimensional Mansion] to protect himself, and now that Rykan is injured again, he is even more unsuitable to continue to live in the camp.

Originally, he thought that if someone could break into the barracks and destroy the tents, then he was not far from death, so he never prepared anything else here - he stepped into the battlefield with the consciousness of death.

But now the situation is different, he has won this civil war, and he is about to realize his ambitions, at this time, how can he die so easily?

"Your Majesty. ”

Knight Tosolo and Knight Kyle opened the curtain and walked in, and behind them, several soldiers carried a stretcher, on which lay a headless corpse, the body of the assassin.

Shortly after the battle, the two knights had arrived from another barracks, and then they had stayed by the corpse to protect the safety of the mage regiment, and only now had they arrived.

Behind them, a group of nobles moved their steps with sad faces and walked towards the tent.

After the soldiers put down the stretcher and left, Krylov III glanced at the nobles and frowned slightly: "Why is there one less-"

After a pause and a little thought, Krylov III asked in a deep voice, "What about Viscount Rowan?"

Nobles, you look at me, I look at you, and then, a nobleman whispered: "Your Majesty, Viscount Rowan is ...... He died. ”

The king's breath faltered, and his brows furrowed: "What's the matter?"

"It's an Assassin ......"

Several nobles glanced at Rickan, who was standing beside him with his head down.

"According to the discoverer, when it was found, Viscount Rowan's body was shriveled and ......"

Krylov III closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Didn't the Assassin come to assassinate him, and why was Viscount Rowan shriveled when he was found?

"And there are marks of a bite on the throat......"

Krylov III's eyes snapped open and he looked at the nobleman who was slurping and slurring.

"But, it could be a vampire!" the nobleman said with a panicked expression, "It could be that a vampire killed Viscount Rowan!"
