Ultimate Assassin System

The pointer of time goes and goes, the windmill of time turns and turns, the wheel of fate turns and turns... In short, that's what it means, you just need to know that it is three years later.

Well, three years later.

Outside a certain medium-sized small town in a certain place in the north, a convoy of convoys came under the escort of more than a hundred well-armored elite cavalry. Then, about three miles outside the town, with the whistle of the leading cavalry, the speed of the convoy suddenly increased. Greatly slowed down, the Rangers scattered, nodding their arrows and pressing their guns, approaching the entrance of the town in a leisurely manner.

At this moment, with a bang, the curtains of the luxurious carriage in the middle of the convoy were pulled open suddenly, Ah... after a long journey, I finally arrived. A vague figure stretched out in the carriage , and then the car window opened, and a young and masculine face poked out. First, he looked at the small town in front of him from a distance, then his eyes turned and fell on a stone tablet beside the road. He squinted his eyes and read, Friends of Peace... …There is Love Town? Isn’t that a typo?”

I have to say that this young handsome guy has good observation skills. Of course, the way of thinking is even more bizarre. Unfortunately, no one answered his words, but a question suddenly came from inside the carriage, Is this the residence of the target we are looking for this time? Your Excellency Philip, are you sure it is here?

Young handsome guy, oh no, Philip retracted his head with a smile when he heard this, and instead of answering the question immediately, he looked at a middle-aged man with a calm face sitting opposite him, and asked back with his hands outstretched, Sir Mandel, do you know the question before us? Where is the geographic location of this new town?

Your Excellency Philip is trying to test me? The middle-aged man known as Sir Mandel raised his eyebrows and replied calmly, As far as I know, this town is backed by Fenghuo City and facing Pula City. , which is the current Muhawa gathering place. It is just at the junction of the forces of the Huiyi Army and the Northern Wilderness Tribe, and it can be regarded as an out-and-out area of ​​no matter... Am I right, Your Excellency Philip?

There was applause, and Philip sighed appreciatively: As expected of the negotiator chosen by His Majesty the King, Sir Mandel has done a lot of homework... But, do you know that the person we are looking for this time is the same as the Gray Army and the Northern Wilderness? Tribal relationship?

Mandel frowned: That assassin? I heard that he is the husband of Josiah, the leader of the Gray Army... This is also the main reason why we came to him this time, isn't it?

That's right, but this is only one aspect. Shaking his head lightly, Philip seemed to remember something. His expression was a little emotional, That guy is a winner in his life... Well, now that we have arrived at the destination, some things should be made clear. In addition to being Josiah's husband, that guy is also married to the Northern Wilderness Royal Family. The one and only His Royal Highness, that is, the Supreme Commander of the Northern Wilderness who led a million barbarians in the Rhineau River theater to beat our Imperial Army into unspeakable misery, Lan Sha, has a very close friendship. Even... Well, anyway, I think This couple must have hooked up.

Smacked his lips. He didn't hide his envious and jealous look on his face: Oh, right. He has a lot of connections with the Bran Empire. Maybe you, Sir Mandel, have heard of this news, but you haven't been able to confirm it, because some people are afraid It was embarrassing, so it was blocked... That's right, he is the assassin who sent the Pope and the First Prince to meet God the Father three years ago!

Hiss... Sir Mandel was extremely stable, and he had indeed heard the news and rumors before, but when he got the conclusive affirmation from Philip at this time, he couldn't help but gasped, his scalp Slightly numb. It wasn't until half a shock later that he regained his composure on the surface and said in a deep voice, I heard that the assassin is already dead.

I heard? Hehe... Philip shook his head and laughed, Then I'm sure you haven't heard how he died, have you?

Mandel acquiesced, and Philip asked and answered, He was burned to death. The specific time was probably at the end of the month after the Battle of the Temple General. On the night of his wedding with Josiah, he must have drunk too much and accidentally knocked over the candlestick. Oil lamps. And after the wedding room was completely burned down, he was not seen rushing out of it drunk... Hehe, a peerless strong man who dared to infiltrate the temple hall single-handedly, succeeded in assassinating the Pope and retired , was burned to death just like that—do you believe it?

Mandel smiled wryly and shook his head: If things are really as you said, then I don't care whether others believe it or not, but I don't believe it... I understand! Just hiding in this town?

No, you still haven't fully understood. Philip waved his hand regretfully, Although he has done a lot of outrageous things, the Empire, especially the Temple of Light wished he could kill him quickly. But I have to say, with his current The realm of strength, the world is so big, who can stop it, where can't it go? Where do you need to deliberately hide?

And the reason why he has to stay in this sensitive area, in the new town, and not move for three years...haha... At this point, Philip suddenly laughed, gloating, It's just because he is worried that the backyard will catch fire Think about it, Josiah is his official wife, and Lansha is his public lover. If he hadn't been in charge of such a chaotic relationship, the Gray Army and the Northern Wilderness Tribe would have turned the world upside down long ago!

So that's how it is...Peace and Love Town, so that's how it is... Well, even though Mandel claims to be a person who has seen big scenes and has a wealth of experience, but at present, only the chaotic relationship between one man and two women can make it happen. The absurd things that promote and even determine the game situation between countries are still far beyond his imagination, and he can't help but sigh with emotion and sigh at the incredible.

But immediately, Mandel seemed to think of something, and he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, the eyes flickering.

If I were you, believe me, I would definitely empty my mind of dangerous thoughts immediately!

With a chill in his heart, Mandel slowly raised his head, looked at Philip who was looking at him with a slightly raised mouth corner, who seemed to be looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, paused, spread his hands and said with a smile: Your Excellency Philip, you think too much.

I also hope that I am thinking too much. If that is the case... sorry, please forgive me for getting used to it. Philip remained expressionless, Perhaps Sir Mandel knows that the Empire has fought against the Gray Army several times. Negotiations, damn it, I play the role of middleman every time. How can I say the result. I was tricked a lot. There are shadows... So. I think it is necessary to remind Lord Mandel here.

Putting up a finger, staring at Mandel's calm eyes, Philip put pressure on him in a deep voice, It's best not to move some dangerous thoughts, otherwise no one can afford the result...Let's put it bluntly, that guy is indeed a gray soldier The only link with the Northern Wilderness Tribe, but just relying on this to assassinate him and create chaos between the two countries. It is undoubtedly the way to kill! No one is a fool, not to mention that this plan is impossible to succeed at all, even if it can, believe it For me, facing two crazy women who lost their love, the first one to pay the price of subjugation must be the Bran Empire! Lord Mandel must believe this!

Mandel did not avoid the seemingly oppressive gaze, he was proficient in negotiating, he had an extremely strong psychological quality, and he smiled calmly. There was silence for a while, until the car body paused slightly. It should be after officially entering the town that the silence of the carriage was broken. He shook his head and sighed softly, Your Excellency Philip, there seems to be something wrong with your position.

When you are cheated too much, you will do the same...Of course, I still believe in Jazz's professionalism, and I hope you can achieve a satisfactory negotiation result for the empire this time.

Thank you, and I also hope that Your Excellency can face up to your own position. After all, you have the family glory that the empire pays attention to!

Hehe, it's easy to say...

Each each other...

...

There is no problem with Mandel's homework. This town with a strange name does have some special characteristics. For example, when the eye-catching convoy and more than a hundred elite cavalry entered the town, they did not encounter any interrogation at all, and there were no law enforcement officers such as guard cavalry in their field of vision, and the road went unimpeded.

However, if it is based on this, it is deemed that this area is a three-way area, but it is not worthy of the name. Because the atmosphere here is much better than imagined. There are various shops with open doors on the street, wandering vendors shouting hard on the roadside, pedestrians coming and going on the road, and when passing by the side of the convoy, facing the cavalry They looked down with a little scrutiny, and most of the pedestrians looked calm. After a few glances, they looked away bored, as if they were used to it...

In addition, after the somewhat eye-catching convoy entered here, it was like a clear spring flowing into the lake, and it calmed down almost without causing any ripples.

Noisy but not chaotic, this is the first impression of the town. If you observe carefully, you will find that there seems to be an invisible rule here to ensure that the town is orderly and full of vitality!

The goal of the team is very clear, or they found a good guide, Philip. So there was almost no detour. After traveling through most of the town, the convoy finally stopped in front of a tavern-like building in the east of the town.

There is a room to clear it... After getting off the carriage, Philip looked up at the simple signboard of the store, and couldn't help grinning, Well, although I don't know what Qing Bar is, I can be sure that the strange name of this town is How did you come here?

What? Mandel couldn't understand.

It's nothing, it's understandable if you suddenly feel that you have no taste, but it's not good if you have bad taste...Let's go, let's go in. After leaving a sentence that made Mandel shrug inexplicably, Philip walked towards this weird shop first. , as soon as he stepped in, his eyes suddenly became dark.

Don't get me wrong, this is not the quilt sack, but the environment in the store. The semi-enclosed design keeps out the bright and warm sun in the afternoon, so the light in the store is not bright enough. In addition, the dim wall lamps on the surrounding walls make it feel a little blurry at first glance. However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the atmosphere here is very similar to an ancient scroll with yellowed corners, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

Such design techniques were undoubtedly beyond the expectations of Philip and Mandel. The two paused for a moment at the threshold, and their eyesight gradually adapted to recovery. They looked into the store, What are you doing...

The interior decoration is also very unique, with tables and chairs. At first glance, it looks like a tavern hall, but if you look closely, you will find a world of difference. Those tall bonsai, or colorful drawing boards, or statues with outstanding knife skills, etc., separate each table into an independent space, which looks messy but orderly, with a strange sense of balance and harmony.

Tsk, it's interesting...

The above two contradictory statements of mixed praise and criticism came from Philip's mouth. It has to be said that the eyes of this famous wolf of the imperial capital are quite vicious. Quickly recovered. And faintly figure out the charm and beauty from it. Really extraordinary.

It's really interesting. Mandel also nodded in agreement. However, his focus is not on the overall decoration design of the store, but on some details, such as the layout that is different from ordinary taverns, the wine rack counter placed in the deepest part of the hall, The place where the money is collected is so far from the door, so there is no fear of customers Do you just leave after drinking?

Philip laughed and shook his head: Ha, believe me, no one would do such a stupid thing.

Mandel was taken aback when he heard this. Immediately thinking of the terrifying identity of the owner here, he couldn't help laughing at himself: It's true, I was wrong. Isn't it? If the owner of this weird tavern is really the one who dared to assassinate the pope, then he dared to escape the order here, but he really didn't know how to write the word dead...

The wine rack counter is said to be in the deepest part of the hall, but the area of ​​this weird tavern is not large, so Philip walked from the threshold to the counter in only a dozen steps.

But unfortunately, there was a sturdy young man in gray waiting in front of them. Not like a guest.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, the young man in gray subconsciously turned his head. Looking up and down at the clothes of the two of Philip, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the luxury motorcade riders parked outside the door, frowning slightly.

At this time, I'm sorry, Little Kim, I kept you waiting... The wooden door behind the counter opened, and a figure came out with a small cloth bag. He was also a young man, but he seemed to be more mature. With a faint smile called Harmless to Humans and Animals. Turning his eyes while greeting, he saw Philip with a slightly raised mouth and Mandel with complicated expressions and eyes.

Brother Tang, you are too polite, I didn't wait long. The young man in gray called Little Kim, with a familiar and kind attitude, even with a slight hint of respect, reached out and picked up the small cup that the young shopkeeper put on the counter. Behind Budai, he couldn't help being taken aback, Huh? This month's money...is it too much?

Not much, it's just right to make up for the money owed to you last month. The young shopkeeper smiled and shook his head when he heard the words, Little Kim, why didn't you tell my elder brother about the increase in the monthly money since last month? It turned out that you paid for it yourself. The money went in.

Hehe, Brother Tang still knows about it. The young man in gray scratched his head with a silly smile, instantly diluting the toughness on his body, but pushed the extra coins back with an extremely firm attitude, Actually, it doesn't matter, Tang Brother, you are kind to my family. If you hadn’t taken my mother to work here a few years ago, always paid excessive commissions, and deliberately asked my mother to bring food back, my little Kim might have starved to death on the street... Now come I am already very ashamed of your monthly payment, my mother beat me several times for this, and almost prevented me from entering the house, so I really can't collect more money...

Okay, little Kim, you can take it if you are told. There are rules for the gang. Since you come out to do things, you have to level the bowl of water. This is the rule and you can't mess it up. Shaking his head again, the young shopkeeper forcibly took the money Throw it into the hands of the young man in gray clothes, And our town's geographical location is not good, no one cares. The reason why it is safe and sound now is not all because of your usual day and night patrol management and maintenance of order. So the money It’s what you deserve, nothing else...Well, if you really want to thank me, then come to me more often if you have nothing to do, and increase my turnover, hehe...

Uh, forget it, I'm afraid I'll be beaten again when I bump into my mother... Besides, brother, your place is nice, but it's too clean and quiet, we don't feel comfortable here, we don't dare to speak loudly, and we don't even drink alcohol. happy.

Hey, cooperating with you, you are here to attack me today!

Haha, I don't have the guts. What I mean is that you are taking a high-end route, you are entertaining wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, and we are rough people, so...hehe...

He waved his hand angrily, Okay, kid, hurry up and get out with the monthly money.

Okay, okay, let's go, let's go... He said he wanted to go, but the young man in gray didn't move. He glanced at Philip and Philip beside him, and asked with a smile, By the way, These two look unfamiliar, are you friends, big brother?

The young shopkeeper glanced at Philip and Philip, who had been standing silently, and nodded: That's right.

Really? The gray-clothed youth questioned, seeming to mean something.

Nonsense! The young shopkeeper once again waved his hand angrily to drive away: Don't worry, they didn't come to trouble me, so there is no need to ask more questions.

Oh, that's good, I'll just ask casually. The young man in gray finally felt relieved after hearing the words, Then I'll go first... No! Look at my brain, I almost forgot, there is something I want to talk to you, big brother explain.

What's wrong with you today, kid? Is it over?

The young man in gray scratched his head in embarrassment: The real thing, the real thing... Well, I don't know if you have heard, Big Brother Tang. Recently, there are new helpers in the town, and they act very arrogantly.

The young shopkeeper turned his head and thought for a while: You mean those who temporarily live in the south of the town?

Yes, it's them. I heard that they used to be bandits, but now they can't get along anymore. The gang in this group is called the Black Tiger Gang. A few days ago, we asked our boss to come out for a talk, and we were asked to give up half of the time when we spoke. This town... Hehe, of course the result is that they broke up unhappy. But judging from what they mean, it seems that they don't want to let it go. So brother, you should pay attention recently. If they dare to come to make trouble, you should send someone to notify me in time, and I will lead them. Come and pick them up.

Okay, I'll make a note of it.

Waved goodbye, Okay, I'll go first, so I won't delay you entertaining friends. Most likely, he still has to go to other places to do work and collect monthly money. After finishing speaking, the young man in gray gave a polite nod to Philip and Philip Down, turned and left in a hurry.

Monthly money...protection fee? When the young man in gray who was supposed to be a member of a small town gang disappeared at the door, Philip looked at the young shopkeeper with a strange expression, his tone was disdainful and inconceivable.

However, the young shopkeeper was extremely calm, and spread his hands: No way, spend money to keep safe, small business can't stand the trouble.

Pretend! You continue to pretend!

The young shopkeeper shrugged indifferently, and then opened the wooden door next to the counter and walked out, saying softly, Long time no see, Philip. I'm really surprised that you didn't die on a woman's stomach.

Philip stepped forward to meet him: I'm also very puzzled that you were not burned to death. It's really... Gods don't open their eyes!

Ha, your fancy mouth... you still owe it the same!

Each! Each other!

With a bang, under the dim yellow wall lamp, the two figures hugged each other vigorously, hammering each other's backs, and the drums sounded like war drums, as if they were about to be hammered through directly...
