Dimensional Code

"Yes………"

Hearing the woman's answer, the man in black sneered.

"Accidents...everywhere, our Lord Death God is really amazing."

"Keep your voice down, idiot."

The woman stepped on the man viciously, making his expression less weird.

"You don't know what low-key is? Although the rumor is just a rumor, it's not just a rumor! Be careful, if you talk nonsense, you might be the next one to suffer an accident!"

Hearing this, the man's face suddenly became serious, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

It all started with the "death exchange" half a month ago.

In this city of Korha, there is a rumored "death exchange". Of course, this is not a meeting place for necromancers, and it has nothing to do with hell. In fact, it is a dark assassin Assembly point.Those assassins from various factions, or those who have no influence, will take the mission in the death exchange, and then go to assassinate the target.Of course, all of this is kept secret, those commissions will be placed on specially treated wooden boards, and only assassins are allowed to take these commissions.Of course, the death exchange also has strict restrictions and a hierarchical system. Those assassins who complete the mission will be promoted, and then they are eligible for more dangerous missions.

And just half a month ago, something happened in the death exchange.

An unknown assassin took away a commission to assassinate the captain of the city guard.

This was not a big deal, so the assassins didn't care, but just one day later, the death exchange confirmed the death of the guard captain.

He didn't die unexpectedly on the way home, nor did he disappear into some dark corner, but he stumbled and fell from the city gate after getting drunk, and then landed head first with a "slap" in full view of everyone.

Then... naturally there is no after.

No one takes it seriously, a small city guard captain, and it is well known that he likes to drink too much, because it is normal for him to accidentally step on a loose brick, then stumble and fall to his death things.

But what everyone didn't expect was that shortly after the death of the guard captain, the power of attorney returned to the death exchange, and it gave a request for confirmation.

That is to say, the captain of the guard was killed by an assassin not because of an accident?

The Death Exchange can become a well-known gathering place of underground assassins in the dark. Of course, they have their own abilities. They invited the most powerful prophecy mage on their side, and then predicted and investigated the death of the guard captain, and concluded that The conclusion is that...the captain of the guard did die in an accident.

Now that the facts and evidence are solid, it is naturally impossible for the little thief who is fishing in troubled waters to succeed, so the death exchange naturally revoked the commission.Of course, they didn't find the assassin who accepted the commission. At that time, they just thought that the little thief was probably planning to take the opportunity to make money, so they deliberately hid their heads and showed their tails.Especially after the Death Exchange revoked the entrustment, the assassin did not come out to explain, which made the Death Exchange believe that the other party might just be lucky. After accepting the entrustment, the entrusted target accidentally died due to an accident, so he planned to mix up a reward. .

And after that, strange things happened.

In the death exchange, there was a connection that someone took the commission, and then the commissioned assassination targets all died due to various accidents.These commissions also returned to the exchange for confirmation after the death of the mission target, but the results of each commission investigation by the forecaster of the exchange were... accidental death.

Once or twice can be regarded as an accident, but a large number of similar "accidents" in a short period of time are not accidents.

The person in charge of the death exchange is not a fool, their prophecy mage is a legendary mage, but even the other party can't detect any signs... How is this possible?

The assassins in this world are very powerful, but they are also assassins after all. To put it bluntly, they are still the kind of existence that hides in the dark and kills with one blow.It can be said that the biggest advantage of the assassins here lies in their patience and ubiquitous assassination actions.They can wait for half a year for a target, looking for the target's flaws all the time, looking for a one-hit kill.They can also use their own weapons full of curse or magic power to break through the opponent's defenses, but even so, they still need to do it themselves.

Because of this, these assassins generally rely on special means to hide themselves, and at the same time, assassins will not take out their star patterns casually.That is to say, the assassination in this world, everyone knows it is an assassination, at most they don't know who the assassin is.

But... the assassin's "assassination" is no longer an assassination.

It's more like a manifesto from Death.

Of course, the death exchange didn't pay much attention to this "assassin" at the beginning, because although the people killed by the other party were not low in status, they were very weak.If it is a person whose strength is far beyond theirs, then it is not impossible to kill them with such powerful strength, at most it is a bad taste.

However, when a senior mage in a certain family was assassinated, things immediately deteriorated.

Of course, according to the person who checked at the time, the mage suddenly lost control of his spells when he released the magic, and then backlashed himself, causing him to die unexpectedly.From the beginning to the end, the mage showed no signs of being mentally controlled, and after the priest of the temple checked the corpse, he also said that the corpse was not poisoned or took some drugs that interfered with the mind.

If it was changed to another place, I'm afraid it will only be regarded as a mistake of a high-level mage, and I won't pay too much attention to it.

But Death Exchange doesn't see it that way.

Because just before the death of this high-level mage, his assassination commission was taken away by that "ghost of death".

And when the high-level mage died, that "entrustment" was sent back.

For a moment, the top management of the entire Death Exchange was shocked.

Although ordinary people think that assassins have an advantage over mages, in fact, the last thing an assassin wants to face is mages, and they are high-level mages.Because after reaching the middle level, mages will use various methods to store defensive spells to deal with emergencies, whether it is secretly assassinating, poisoning, or even if the mind controls the people around the mage and wants to take advantage of him. Raids are impossible.And once a mage is prepared, the next unlucky one must be the assassin.

So for those powerful assassins, let them assassinate a mage, it is better to assassinate those high-level fighters or sword masters or even druids.After all, facing these professions, they still have a certain degree of confidence, but facing mages, they basically rely on their face to bet on whether the opponent is really stupid enough to be killed by an assassin.

Of course, assassins usually have a dark face... As for the ending, naturally there is no need to ask.

But right now, there is actually an assassin who can kill a high-ranking mage in such a strange and easy way?More importantly, how did he do it without being discovered by anyone at all!

This immediately attracted the attention of the death exchange, and even the three legendary powerhouses inside the death exchange all dispatched to stay in front of the entrusted signboard, trying to find the assassin.

But then, a terrifying scene happened.

Another commission disappeared silently, and then accompanied by "accidental death", that commission also returned to the death exchange again.The problem is that during the whole process, the three strong men found nothing at all!

This means that the other party escaped the joint search of a powerful prophecy mage, a legendary killer and a legendary thief, and they entered and exited the death exchange at will as if entering no man's land, but no one Discover!

Is that human being! ?

As things gradually fermented, the story of an "invisible god of death" appearing in the death exchange was also widely circulated, and many people had heard of it.Because of this, they were even more terrified.Some people even bribed the assassin, wanting to know the target of the "invisible god of death", so as to investigate and prevent it.But... none of this worked.

"...… an invisible 'Reaper'?"

The sheriff in armor raised his head and looked at the pale-faced subordinates in front of him.

"Isn't this a normal accident? You and I witnessed it together."

"Of course, Conan-sama..."

Hearing the magistrate's inquiry, the attendant in front of him was also in a cold sweat.

"As you said, we were also invited to the ball at the time, and both you and I, my lord, witnessed that... absurd act..."

Speaking of this, the attendant also showed a disapproving expression on his face.Because the good-for-nothing son of the dead city lord was a dissolute man who loved playing with women the most.In fact, when they went to the dinner hosted by the city lord this time, they also witnessed with their own eyes how annoying that libertine was.He planned to forcibly take her away after molesting the maid failed.During this process, the prodigal son suddenly stepped on the smooth floor and lost his balance, and then hit the railing of the balcony on the second floor. Perhaps because the railing was in disrepair and broke for a long time, he fell to his death in full view of everyone.

Knight Conan certainly saw this scene, and he was planning to walk over to stop that idiot's stupid behavior.Although he has retired now, as a former Templar, it is impossible for him to be indifferent to this kind of thing.

Not to mention that this idiot son's reputation in the city is quite bad. After his death, the whole city can almost be said to celebrate.

But now, the city lord came to him, saying that he wanted to search for a "death"?

What the hell is this?

Chapter 162 The Pursuit of Death

In Knight Conan's view, this might just be a random decision made by the city lord because of the pain of losing his son, but when he was invited to come to the mansion of the city lord, Knight Conan no longer thought so.

"what is this?"
