Tyrant Code

Deep in the forest.

The lord is leading his servants to hunt a wild boar.After they finally shot the rampaging wild boar to death with their spears, before they had time to enjoy the joy of successful hunting, they heard someone rushing through the forest to report——

"My lord! The teams outside the hunting ground are under attack!"

"My lord, black smoke has risen in the direction of the camp."

This is a sign of the temporary security of the territory.

"...I don't know if we can trust this information." A knight said, "These rare visitors have come prepared. They may have mastered the rules of our exchange of information, so as to confuse us and make us take it lightly."

Casal Moran lowered his eyes, his ice blue eyes were immersed in a faint shadow, shining with a light that seemed to be quenched by snow.

"Take it lightly?" He chanted these words, suddenly gave a cold snort, and ordered, "I announce that all activities on today's hunting day will be suspended, and the first priority is to wipe out the assassins. I want to make it clear that these contemptuous Whether the authoritative and daring ones are assassins sent by rebels or heretic organizations."

"Then... what about the camp?" Someone asked.

"Send Qingqi back to the camp to garrison first. After we have searched the forest, we are encircling and suppressing." Casal Moran said, "Let's act."

"Yes! Lord Lord!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Casal Moran nodded, and asked suddenly as if recalling something: "Is Atrium Horn still in the camp?"

"Mr. Horn?" The lord's guard replied, "I saw him holding a bow and arrow and following the hunting team into the forest... but I didn't see him much along the way. He should be hunting in the shallow mountain area now, right?"

Most of the princes and buddies with high status but not very good martial arts are active on the outskirts of the hunting grounds and will not go deep into the forest.

Casal Moran frowned upon hearing this.

"We should find him quickly."

**

The mountain road is difficult.The deeper you go into the forest, the rougher the road becomes.It didn't take long for horses to become unsuitable for transportation.

So Qin Fang had no choice but to get off the horse, stroked its mane lightly, then patted its back, and said in a low voice, "Go."

This is a domesticated horse that can find its way back to camp.

The horse blinked meekly, seeming to understand what Qin Fang said, but still stroked the ground uneasily with its front hooves, and arched its head against him, reluctant to leave.

The boy with black hair and black eyes sighed, he could only turn around and leave first.

Very close, he thought.

Qin Fang followed the previous archer all the way, but he didn't realize that he had long deviated from the direction where the lord and knights were.

He first ran forward through the woods for a while, and then slowed down and breathed when he was about to reach a clearing beside a stream.Qin Fang held the crossbow close to his chest, and walked slowly down a rock wall—finally, he heard human voices other than his own heartbeat and breathing.

"...Leighton." Someone said in a deep tone, "Long time no see."

Qin Fang thought the voice sounded familiar.

He poked his head out—and sure enough, he caught a glimpse of the long hair shining like golden threads through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

It's Atrium.Atrice Horne.

A lonely priest.

He was facing a man holding a bow and arrow.Obviously it was the assassin who shot him before.

Qin Fang originally thought that this could not be the worst situation.But when he heard what Atricia was saying, he naturally discovered a fact.

Atricia Horne and the assassin were old acquaintances.And the assassin's name was "Leighton".In fact, this is not surprising at all. The vast majority of people who can use light magic today gather in the church.Since they are all members of the church, it is not surprising that they know each other.

However, the assassin on the opposite side ignored Attricia Horn, but bowed and pulled the string without saying a word—it seemed that he didn't intend to answer Attricia's words, and wanted to do it directly.

"Who gave you the order? Let me think about it, is it Roderick Harris, or Hester Rupert, or... Jeffrey Warren?" Attricia thought to herself Confidently announced a series of names, and then said in his usual arrogant and mocking tone, "No matter who it is, I will choose you to kill me, which is equivalent to refreshing my new understanding of idiots in this world. Well, I think the one who wants me to die the most is Varen, but the one who is so stupid is probably Harris. Obviously everyone came out of the seminary...Harris is really embarrassing to the seminary. "

With a sound of "whoosh", the arrow shot out.But Atricia Horn pulled out a snow-white rapier from his waist, and cut off the arrow lightly with his backhand.

Qin Fang: "..."

At first he thought this man was a priest, but later he realized that this man was also half a statesman.Today, I discovered that he still has good martial arts...

"It doesn't matter who sent me to kill you, it's the same." The man called Layton actually spoke. Unlike Attricia's elegant and noble but irritating voice, the assassin's voice could match Comparable to the rushing stream, gentle and ethereal, "You are always going to die, Atrichia."

"...Yeah, people are always going to die. Then why don't you die before me." Atricia mocked, "In this way, I can live for a few more days."

"...Without God's will, I can't end my own life." Layton said, "But God said that He needs you to dedicate your life, Atrichia. This is a sacrifice, but also an honor."

Atricia began to become a little irritable: "Do you really regard him as a god? Wake up! He is a person of flesh and blood just like us! If you have never heard of God, why should he You can issue orders instead of gods!"

"...If it can be immortal, then it is a god." Layton said devoutly.

"You are just creating a false god." Atricia Horn said with disdain on his face, "You are doomed to fail. If you stay peacefully in a dark corner with delusions and rot yourself, that's fine. But you are here to provoke Casal Moran. That man has the guts to rush into the temple with a spear in his hand and smash all your crystal idols to pieces."

Qin Fang: "..."

Is the lord's father so fierce?

"Casar Moran?" Layton's lips curved slightly, "It's too easy to deal with him. Just—"

As long as it is revealed to others that his illegitimate son, Goldo Moran, is a black magician who hides his identity, then Casar Moran's family will naturally be convicted in the trial court, and it will only be a matter of killing him at that time——

Qin Fang immediately made up all the words Layton wanted to say in his mind.

So could he get Layton to tell the secret, or live to see the moon tonight?

Of course not.

So he leaned forward slightly, held the crossbow in front of him, aimed at Layton's head and shot the arrow.

Layton noticed it almost the moment the arrow shot out.He didn't have time to chant in such a short period of time, so the magic of the previous strengthening item could not be used, so he tightly held the cross on his chest until a sharp piece of metal on the cross scratched his palm.A transparent glass-like barrier instantly unfolded behind him, and the arrow hit the barrier with a "ding" sound, and then fell down tremblingly.

Yatricia Horn seized this momentary opportunity and held the sword up. The slender sword drew a snow-white trace in the air and pierced deeply into Layton's left shoulder.

Layton frowned tightly.With a pale face, he grabbed the thin sword pierced into his shoulder, twisted Atrichia Horn's arm, and slammed him to the ground with a spin.

Layton pulled out the sword, held it in his hand, and was about to stab Attricia Horn when Qin Fang's second arrow arrived, aiming at his arm.

Layton raised his hand to block it, but the arrow pierced his wrist.The bright red blood flowed down the fair skin in an instant, leaving a bloody mess.

"What kind of weapon is this!" Layton roared angrily, his face finally became a little flustered, "I can't shoot such an arrow without magic! Who is it?!"

Qin Fang: "...???"

Isn't this just an ordinary handheld crossbow?The lord made it as a toy for his son.

Yatricia Horn laughed. He pointed to Qin Fang who was standing aside, and said as expected: "That's why I told you not to mess with Casal Moran. You see, even his Your son could easily kill you."

Layton's eyes trembled.

He looked at Qin Fang, and Qin Fang finally saw Layton's face clearly. It was a handsome but gloomy and pale face with dark brown eyes, which were full of resentment towards Qin Fang.

"It's you...it's you! The son of the evil god who uses black magic!"

Qin Fang's heart trembled, but Yatricia Horn laughed even more happily: "Is this the 'son of the evil god'? Casar Moran has many methods that you have never seen before. "

Qin Fang felt relieved instantly.

"He...!" Layton was silent for a while, and suddenly realized, he looked at Attricia Horn, gritted his teeth, "It turns out that you have already turned your back on the gods and joined the devil!"

Atricia Horne: "..."

Atricia's expression suddenly turned cold.He stood up, walked slowly in front of Layton, bent his left knee, and his white cloak was stained in the mud.His eyes were no longer full of contempt or ridicule, but filled with outright disgust and almost imperceptible sadness.

"It is you who have abandoned your faith, Leiden." Atrice Horn said softly, "You really think that, based on what you have done, you will go to the heaven where the Holy Lord is after death, Or go to hell where demons and monsters run rampant?"

There was a momentary blankness on Layton's face.Immediately afterwards, fear and despair overflowed from every trace of his expression.

"I think hell is more suitable for you. What do you think?" Atrice Horn said in a word.

His tone and syllables are extremely elegant, and that condescending face not only implies the mercy of the gods, but also reveals the disdain of mortals, forming a crushing picture in Layton's eyes.

"No, no... I can't let this kind of thing happen." Layton murmured, "I'm going to report to the Bishop. I want to tell him that there is a terrible devil entrenched here...!"

"Do you think your Lord Bishop doesn't know what happened here? He knows everything. Otherwise, why would he order you to kill Casal Moran's son." Atrice Horn said, "Because you Regardless of whether you can successfully kill me, as long as you kill Casal Moran's son and let him die because of my dispute with the Holy See, then Casar Moran will not let me go... It's just that you are late Here’s a step, I just cured Casal Moran’s eldest son a few days ago, and we have a pretty good relationship now. So killing the lord’s son is completely useless.”

"And you, Layton... you have to die no matter what." Attica leaned into Layton's ear and said softly.

Layton: "..."

He pushed Atricia Horn away, raised the slender sword, and inserted it into his chest without hesitation.

When Layton fell to the ground, blood foamed continuously from his mouth.He stared at the sky in bewilderment, chanting words:

"I curse you...Atricia Horn...you must suffer the same fate as me..."

Yatricia Horn just stood aside quietly, staring at him slowly dying, his eyes filled with peace.But Qin Fang somehow felt that he was like a quietly burning fire.

"Let's go, boy of the Moran family." Atrice Horne said, "Just pretend you didn't see anything today."
