Chapter 2164: Unknown Force

The female assassin was almost dying, but she couldn't die yet, at least Su Xiao wouldn't let her die. A hidden mission related to the main mission hadn't been triggered yet, especially since this was a reward mission.

"Don't let her die."

As soon as Duke Lilin finished speaking, those soldiers stepped forward, one stepped on the female assassin's head, and the others performed emergency treatment on her.

"We are being watched."

Moon Wolf Madam sat aside very leisurely, sipping the black tea in her cup.

"The first target of the assassination was that old guy, but he escaped last night."

Duke Lilin looked at Su Xiao while saying this.

"Since the second target is Angry Lion, the third target is likely White Dragon Duke."

Su Xiao checked the female assassin's injury. She wouldn't die in a short time.

"Impossible," Moon Wolf Madam denied it in one word, and after pondering for a moment, said: "No one will go to his manor to assassinate him. It's impossible to succeed."

"Then the third target is you."

"..."

Moon Wolf Madam frowned and stared at Su Xiao. A moment later.

"Okay, it's very likely me."

Moon Wolf Madam was smiling, but she smiled chillingly.

Clearly, everyone here was a smart person. A force was assassinating the dukes. At this time, they had succeeded once. And the old duke, before last night, knew this point. So he withdrew the guards in the manor. This move could be seen as directly losing the opportunity for the assassins.

Perhaps it was because the assassins were startled, they chose to make a move this morning, targeting Angry Lion Duke Gilbert, who held military power, and the result was successful.

Not only that, these assassins didn't leave the winery, but waited for the opportunity to assassinate other dukes who might appear. For these two assassins, being able to eliminate Angry Lion Duke was the meaning of their survival. Being able to kill another duke, even if they died, was for honor.

The situation in Yalanse City was becoming more and more complicated. The high-ranking dukes were all dead. Would it be far from assassinating the Saint-Descendant King?

Clearly, the behavior of these people was in direct conflict with Su Xiao's mission. God knew what form these people would use to assassinate the Saint-Descendant King. If they used high-power explosives to blow the Saint-Descendant King's heart to pieces, Su Xiao's mission would fail.

After being promoted to the sixth tier, Su Xiao could no longer completely exempt from forced execution. He had once obtained a permission in the low tier, exempting the forced execution penalty caused by mission failure, but that permission only had 'absolute permission' effect in tiers 1-5.

This 'amulet' made Su Xiao feel at ease for a long time, but after being promoted to the sixth tier, this amulet was no longer so easy to use. Although it could exempt one forced execution, it would also deduct 50% of his full attributes, which could be described as tragic.

Once the Saint-Descendant King was gone, Su Xiao would lose 50% of his full attributes. What was more fatal was that he would also let Xi grow.

What to do if encountering a conflict during the mission? Negotiate with that unknown force? Don't joke, entrusting one's own safety to an unknown force was a very stupid act.

Since it conflicted with the mission, Su Xiao decided to drag that force out, flatten it all, and then find an opportunity to kill the Saint-Descendant King.

Or rather, this was a god-given opportunity. If that unknown force was eliminated, several dukes, and even the Saint-Descendant King, would relax their vigilance against Su Xiao appropriately. At that time, it would be the opportunity.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao's train of thought was completely clear.

"I'll take this person."

Su Xiao signaled Amu to carry the female assassin.

"Can."

"No."

The attitudes of Lilin and Moon Wolf Madam were diametrically opposed. After seeing Su Xiao's ability, Lilin agreed to Su Xiao taking over this matter.

"Reason."

Su Xiao and Duke Lilin both looked at Moon Wolf Madam.

"Lilin, what are you thinking? He is a person under that old guy. You forgot what that old guy did. Even if Lilin you forgot, I won't forget."

Moon Wolf Madam's words made Duke Lilin silent for a moment.

"Decide by voting."

Duke Lilin proposed a relatively 'fair' way.

"Can."

Bang!

Moon Wolf Madam smashed the tea cup in her hand on the table, very angry, but still had to maintain elegance. She got up and left. Before leaving, she glared at Su Xiao. That look couldn't see anger, but rather a bit seductive.

"Leave it to you here."

Leaving this sentence, Duke Lilin also walked out of the castle. He had decided that in the near future, he would stay as far away from Su Xiao as possible. He couldn't die yet. Many people needed him, and this empire that was about to rot completely also needed him. Before choosing a successor, he couldn't die. Even if only one head was left, he had to maintain this country. This was the glory of his family.

"All... ran?"

Baha sighed. In its feeling, the two dukes just ran away.

"Who knows."

Su Xiao sighed in his heart. Among the five dukes, there were no power-holders of the level of Old Lion or Harold. As for the Saint-Descendant King, it was still impossible to figure out for the time being, or rather, there was no chance to probe at all. The Saint-Descendant King was always sleeping, which was a bit unsolvable.

The soldiers in the castle stood straight. The gunpowder technology of this world was just beginning, so most gunpowder firearms belonged to fancy ones, so the soldiers all used cold weapons.

Su Xiao gently rubbed his temples. After strolling around the winery a few times, he also left. Originally, he wanted to try his luck to see if anyone would jump out to assassinate him, but unfortunately, his luck was relatively poor, and no one assassinated him.

At the same time, five kilometers east of the winery, a group of men and women in black robes gathered here, among whom four had particularly unique auras. They were all contractors, contractors of the Death Paradise.

"This damn, it's too thorough! Ghost Shadow was caught just like that? Didn't you say she is an assassin with a hidden ability in the top five of your organization? Just this? Top five?!"

This loud-voiced contractor was a bit broken, and like his heart, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"This guy is... a contractor?"

A female voice came. What was strange was that the conversation of these four people didn't avoid the people in this world at all. In fact, they turned on the 'negotiation protection mechanism', shielding part of the conversation to prevent triggering the punishment mechanism. Even if some death coins were deducted, it was very lossy.

"Have you seen a contractor who can climb to the position of duke?"

"Uh~ that's right."

"What to do next?"

"Of course, eliminate him first. If such a power-holder is not eliminated, we will be dragged out one by one sooner or later."

After a brief discussion, the dozen people decided to plan first, and then go to assassinate this duke named Kukulin.

……

Yalanse City, in a two-story residential house, this was the old duke's property. In addition to the two floors on the surface, there was a basement.

In the balcony hall on the second floor of the residential house, Su Xiao sat at the dining table, and the female assassin was sitting opposite Su Xiao. She seemed to have the word 'confused' written on her face.

The female assassin was named Ghost Shadow. From a young age, she received training, and the goal was only one: assassinate Angry Lion Duke Gilbert. This was her life's mission. After completing this matter, she would have no regrets in death.

In Ghost Shadow's view, she would be subjected to inhuman treatment after being captured alive, but she was not afraid, because she was already prepared. After she died, she would return to the embrace of the gods, and the statue would stand in the Hall of Heroes forever.

Then, Ghost Shadow didn't suffer torture. After the enemy used a drug to control part of her mobility, he loosened the iron chains on her body, allowed her to act freely, and even provided her with exquisite food.

"Little sister, don't worry, we are not bad people. Look, we even gave you food."

Baha's bird face tried to smile as much as possible. ===== CHAPTER 2165 =====
