Chapter 203: The King of Assassins
A hooded man walks through the underground passage of the Shadow Thieves' Guild.
He has an angular face, like a statue of an ancient Greek hero, with pronounced cheekbones and a strong jaw profile accentuated by a hood that covers most of his face.
The shadow of his beard hung over his face, as if no amount of shaving could make it shine.
The unkempt appearance speaks of the person's self-control in everything that borders on paranoia.
There were several shadow thieves in the passage, and when they saw the man, they immediately paused and bowed respectfully to him, and the man walked past them silently as if he had not seen him, as if he had ignored everything but to the target.
Coming to the door of Elan Linville's secret room, the man didn't knock on the door, and planned to push the door directly and walked in, the two shadow thief guards guarding the door looked embarrassed, and wanted to stop but were glared at by his cold gaze, and didn't dare to move.
As soon as he entered, he bumped into Alan Linville holding a beautiful woman and pressing her against the head of the bed to kiss her.
"Bastard! Didn't I tell you not to come and disturb me? ”
Hearing the door knock behind him, Alan Linville turned his head in anger to see who was interrupting him. Seeing the cold man, the shadow owner couldn't help but be stunned, his anger suddenly subsided, and a kind smile bloomed on his face.
"Arcanis, my good brother, it turned out to be you."
Alan pushed the woman in his arms away and coldly spat out a word to her: "Get out!" The girl picked up the clothes that had been thrown around the room and ran out with her head down.
The shadow lord warmly opened his arms to give a big hug to the visitor.
The grim man looked around at the luxuriously decorated secret room, and saw that there was even a huge hot spring bath in the corner of the secret room, and the water in it was still steaming, which had just been used by someone.
"Alan, the pleasures of the senses will wear down your will!"
The grim man lifted his hood and stepped forward to hug Alan, and they patted each other on the back, like two old friends.
He was a very handsome and tough man, who looked like a tough guy hero who saved the world, with a high nose, sharp eyes, and a Robin Hood-style beard, and a very neatly trimmed beard.
Those who don't know his identity can't connect him with the murderous Shadow Thief, and may think of him as a righteous ranger
His words came out coldly: "You bear the life and death of tens of thousands of people, you shouldn't be so lax." ”
If another person spoke to the actor Alan Linville like this, his fate must have been very miserable, and he was dragged to the torture chamber until he died, and no one of his family was missing, and he would finally be reunited in the land of the dead.
But it was Arkanis Garth, the legendary assassin known as the patron saint of the shadow thieves, who smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Brother, I remember your advice, but sometimes when dealing with nobles and wealthy merchants, I have to do this. ”
"I don't care about anything else, you just have to remember and don't let women dictate your thinking."
Arcanis finally persuaded and did not mention this stubble, he did not participate in all the trivial affairs of the Shadow Thief Guild, only when the Shadow Thief Guild encountered a great enemy, he would come out of the shadows, draw a short sword, and stab into the heart of the enemy of the Shadow Thief.
Alan welcomed him to the couch, pulled him to sit side by side, and said, "The Shadow Thieves Guild is in trouble, and that's why I'm looking for you. ”
"You mean the vampires?"
Arcanis frowned, "I could easily destroy their rotten husks, but you know that you can't kill them like this. ”
"No, no, no! I've found the weakness of the undead monsters, and now they have a slight advantage, but it won't last long, and their days of making waves in Ammu are coming to an end. ”
Alan Linville waved his hand and said, "Do you know Bredero?" ”
"The artist?" Arcanis said, "Of course I know, probably there are few people in Ammu who don't know about him, right?" His stage play is not bad, at least I can watch it. ”
"I didn't expect Arcanes, who is known for his ruthlessness, to see Bredero's love stage play?" Alan laughed, "That's a great compliment to that performer. ”
Arcanis grimaced, unheard of Alan's jokes.
Erlan's ridicule did not get any response, he smiled awkwardly, put away his smile and said coldly: "Bredero's refusal to accept our friendship has distressed me and Renol, and what is even more odious is that this man has smeared the guild image in his stage play, portraying us as a group of stupid, greedy, and despicable thieves and robbers!" ”
Arcanis listened carefully, nodded slowly, and said: "I also watched that "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", if there are such stupid members in the organization, I don't need to teach the protagonist's ghost a lesson, I will kill him first, lest he insult the great title of shadow thief." ”
"That's all deliberately fictitious slander!"
Ai Lang said hatefully: "Think about it, it's "The Love of People and Ghosts" now, and there is an absurd scene of a shadow thief being teased by ghosts, what will be the next drama?" Let's just let the kids tease the stupid shadow thief too! In the long run, if Bradero is allowed to smear the Shadow Thieves Guild, and our reputation will deteriorate, will there still be young people willing to join us in our great cause? ”
The actor should be glad that his genius idea was not heard by Luo Feng, then the stage comedy "Home Alone" is likely to make a shining debut in the Faeron Continent.
"Some people kill themselves, then they will not be allowed to live!"
Arcanis said coldly: "But, do you still need me to kill an artist? Could it be that the assassins in the guild are really as stupid as in the play, and they can't beat the person with a pen with a dagger? ”
"Bredero is an artist on the surface, but in fact he ......"
Alan Linville thought for a moment, but didn't come up with a suitable word to describe it, so he could only shake his head and say: "Actually, I don't know what that guy is from, but his skills are quite extraordinary, and there are more than thirty shadow thief brothers who died directly at his hands. Besides, killing Am's famous artist is too much to do, and if it is exposed, it will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the guild, so you need to do it yourself. ”
Arcanis nodded and said, "Give me his information, I will treat it carefully, and you can rest assured, this person's life has entered the countdown." ”
"This is a very important matter, and there must be no mistakes! I'll send a priest and mage to work with you, plus an elite team of assassins just in case. ”
Aaron patted Arcanis on the shoulder and said seriously: "The latest information shows that the Goddess Elect, who had a close relationship with Bredrow, has left the border of Ammu by boat, you just need to find the most suitable opportunity to bury this great artist and his 'creative talent' together!" ”
Arkanis said coldly, "Don't worry, brother. Everything I did with my strength, including some sins, was just to protect my friends. I swear by my blade that those who are enemies of the Shadow Thief will surely die! ”
