After get off work, start speeding through another world

Chapter 48 The Night of Assassination
The atmosphere of the banquet dropped to freezing point at this moment, and everyone's eyes were turned to Hecate at the entrance.

Everyone present understood that the fourth prince was a stable and kind man, and it was unlikely that he would kill his brothers and sisters. Not to mention that the internal fighting between the academic faction and the royal faction was so fierce now, and it was even more impossible to kill him at this time. own brothers and sisters.

As the leader of the academy, Hecate had this motive to kill members of the royal family.

In order to weaken the influence of the royal family.

"Teacher, it's a bit unlucky that you're here now." Ximu stood up to greet her and came to Hecate's side.

And Hecate saw her apprentice standing next to her for the first time, facing everyone's questioning eyes with her, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Apprentice, don't pay attention to the looks of non-threatening people. No matter how piercing their looks are, they will have no effect on you."

The gentle and careless words revealed a kind of arrogance. Even if everyone present was a person of good status, it was not worth caring about to Hecate.

Arrogant... No, she is qualified to say that.

After all, she is Hecate, a true magical genius who controls the trajectory of all fates. She can manipulate the lives of everyone present as easily as she wants, just like a puppet on strings.

No one refuted, and the needle drop could be heard quietly.

And just then.

"Why do you think Ms. Hecate is so nice to that man?" In the corner, a noble girl whispered into the ear of her best friend.

Although his voice was not loud, it attracted everyone's attention.

The aristocratic girl's face stiffened, feeling the gazes of everyone, she forced out an awkward yet polite smile.

Seeing this, her best friend beside her quickly pulled her and trotted away.

Everyone's eyes turned away, and then all their eyes fell on Xi Mu. They also saw that Hecate was very kind to her apprentice.

"Hahaha, is this Ms. Hecate's beloved disciple?" A gray-haired old man wearing a magic robe embroidered with gold came out.

He held his magic wand and stood in front of Hecate and Ximu.

"Presumably he is also a genius as good as you?"

Hecate turned her head and glanced at the apprentice beside her, and said with a smile: "I hope the apprentice is a little bit stupid."

She sighed pretending to be distressed.

"Sometimes apprentices are too smart, which makes the teacher feel no sense of achievement."

Good Versailles.

The old magician twitched his lips, but he did not say what he was thinking. He looked at Ximu and said:
"It seems that he is indeed a genius, but you cannot become an excellent magician just by relying on talent. You must also follow up on your ideological education." After that, he chose to turn around and leave.

But Hecate didn't seem to hear the old magician's sarcasm. She turned to Ximu and said, "Apprentice, do you want to help me make up lessons for you tonight?"

"Forget it, teacher." Ximu showed a reluctant look. He had no interest at all in Hecate's late-night lectures.

After all, the main goal of attending the banquet this time is to let everyone see that they are favored by Hecate, so that they believe that if they are assassinated, they will definitely be able to attack Hecate and let this arrogant genius magician …sad.

After all, Hecate used conspiracy to murder the prince and princess tonight. The royal family must fight back, and assassinating him is the best choice.

"If you change your mind, you can always come and teach me."

Hecate didn't force it. She was confident in ensuring the safety of her apprentice in the Magic King's City, even if the apprentice didn't stay with her.

And she was also curious about how her apprentice could survive tonight's assassination on her own.

Stayed at the banquet site for a while.

Ximu left the banquet hall alone, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness of the night. Standing at the door of the banquet, Hecate saw this scene and watched the trajectory of the stars.

Then she looked at Aslaqi beside her and said, "Whether it is a correct interpretation, I have no way to confirm now."

She said so.

"Come and ask me again in two days." After saying that, she turned into starlight and disappeared on the spot. When Aslaqi heard this, she was slightly stunned and immediately realized that something was going to happen in the Magic King's City.

Although she has not yet figured out her thoughts, she is certain that the civil strife in the Magic Kingdom has reached a critical period.

It might decide whether the Magic Kingdom exists or not.

……

...

Busy streets.

Ximu walked into a watch shop and looked at the dazzling array of watches in the glass cabinet, seeming to be thinking about which watch to buy.

As if sensing his intention to buy, a shop assistant came over. She smiled sweetly and asked gently:

"Guest, what kind of watch do you want?"

The hand knife stabs out.

Ximu looked at the clerk's eyes widened in horror, withdrew the hand that stabbed her neck, and then took a step back, letting the gushing blood spill into the glass cabinet.

Blood slid down the glass cabinet, while the clerk's beautiful eyes widened, and she fell to the ground, twitching, losing the breath of life.

panic.

scream.

Run away.

The customers and staff in the clock shop fled in panic, while Ximu squatted down and took out a dagger with a blue luster from the sleeve of the female clerk.

It was obviously poisoned beforehand.

After putting away the dagger, Ximu touched the female killer's face with his hand. As the black flames spread, the body quickly turned into ashes.

He walked out the door and fixed his gaze on the clock tower in the distance.

I saw a magician in a black cloak, pulling a large bow that seemed to be condensed with starlight, aiming at himself. As his fingers loosened, arrows shot through the air.

Moving his steps, Ximu avoided the magic arrows shot and ran into the alley, quickly approaching the bell tower.

Thirty seconds later.

Near the clock tower.

A man leaning outside the coffee shop gently lowered the brim of his hat and looked around with nervous eyes.

He was waiting for the target of the assassination to appear. As long as the man appeared in sight, he could use shadow magic to assassinate him.

"Light below, shadow above."

Yes, this is the spell that can use invisible attack magic to complete the assassination.

Wait, he hadn't recited the spell yet. The moment he realized something was wrong, he felt a warm feeling in his chest and his physical strength was drained away.

Then he fell to the ground.

"There's something wrong with your eyes." As if as a kind reminder, the man felt a hand touching his head.

Consciousness ends at this point.

Ximu stood up, looked around, looked at the panicked crowd, and immediately left. But at the moment he left, several magic arrows shot out and nailed him to the ground where he was stranded. If he was a little late, he would be fatal.

"What the hell is going on with this guy?"

On the bell tower, the magician in black robe lifted the magic bow and wanted to change the assassination location, but the moment he turned around.

The target of the assassination suddenly appeared in front of him, and he looked at him with cold eyes. Immediately, he felt a slight pain in his abdomen.

Upon seeing this, Ximu turned around and left without turning around.

The magician looked down at the dagger burning with black flames in his abdomen, and let out an extremely frightened scream. His whole body was swallowed up by the black flames, and turned into ashes in the struggle. The assassination had just begun.

This is just an appetizer. There will definitely be stronger magicians in the future, which also means more experience points.

Of course, this also means an increase in difficulty.

"Where is that guy hiding?!" On the crowded street, the girl with short black hair gritted her teeth, revealing uncontrollable fear.

It was obvious that she was the one doing the assassination, but there was a sense of danger that she would be killed at any time. The relationship between the assassin and the person being assassinated was reversed.

"Here." A soft whisper came to her ears. As she subconsciously retreated, a finger chased after her at a faster speed and pierced her throat directly.

"Don't shout, don't shout, it will disturb everyone's interest in shopping." Ximu looked at the frightened girl, raised his hand to cover her mouth, dragged her into the alley, and then burned her body with black flames. ash.

The killers were eliminated one after another.

Murders are happening all over the Magic King's City, sometimes in full view of the public, sometimes in deserted alleys.

And this also made the killers realize one thing. In terms of assassination skills, they were not specialized in assassinating targets, and they had to change their thinking.

Crush with strength.

……

...

after an hour.

slums.

"...Where did you escape to?" The killer, who was carrying a black sword on his back, looked alert and impatient. He kept a distance from every civilian who approached him to avoid being approached by the assassination target, and was ready to take action at any time.

However, after the assassination target fled into the slums, he seemed to have disappeared from the world. Should he give up the counterattack or escape back to Hecate?

No matter which one, his assassination mission will fail.

At this moment, Ximu's figure suddenly appeared from the crowd, turned around and looked at the killer, and then quickly fled into a dilapidated house.

The killer chased after him, but found that Ximu had long disappeared, and there was only a broken porcelain pot on the ground, exuding a very faint and subtle smell.

What is this...

Before he could figure it out, his consciousness became drowsy at this moment, and the assassin carrying the black sword fell unconscious on the ground.

Ximu's figure appeared on the other side. He looked indifferently at the assassin lying in the broken house, and drew his bow to aim at the unconscious assassin.

With the arrow piercing the killer's heart.

Ximu turned around and left indifferently without any hesitation.

The intensity of the subsequent assassinations will definitely continue to increase, and they will become even more unscrupulous, in order to repay Teacher Hecate.

As the time goes.

"Boom!" The bell tower of Magic King City was suddenly engulfed in flames, attracting the attention of the whole city, and this was just the beginning. Explosions of varying degrees occurred in different areas of the city. Occasionally, a group of men in black were seen panicking. Walk through the streets.

at the same time.

In the great library.

"Really... I didn't do it." The fourth prince looked at the brothers and sisters arranged neatly on the ground and closed his eyes in pain.

In front of his desk was conclusive evidence that he conspired to kill his brothers and sisters in order to seize the inheritance of the Magic Kingdom.

Letters and witnesses all indicate that he killed his brothers and sisters out of ambition.

"...I believe you, child." A sad voice came. The fourth prince looked along the sound source and saw the Magic Queen walking over.

She knelt down and caressed the child's face.

"There is still... room for redemption."

"..." The fourth prince had a bad premonition, and the Magic Queen's answer confirmed his suspicion.

"I want to transform into a witch."

"..."

The fourth prince opened his mouth, but then fell silent. He knew that he could not stop his mother, and becoming a witch was not necessarily a bad thing.

Since gods can be killed, that means there is room for resistance.

"Go wait for me outside." The Magic Queen turned her head and said to the fourth prince. When she saw her son turning back, she suddenly said something again.

"It's better to leave the country for now."

"..."

The fourth prince did not answer and came to wait outside the door of the library. He did not want to escape his country.

This is his duty as a prince.

……

……

The next day.

early morning.

The assassination is over.

No... to be more precise, when the intensity of the assassination was about to reach the limit of Xiumu's endurance, Hecate stood up and stopped everything.

Then Ximu was taken home by Hecate and taught Midnight the magic knowledge.

"Wearing armor to see the Queen of Magic, everyone will know our intentions." Hecate looked across the table at the apprentice wearing silver armor.

Ximu gave the answer.

"Now it is impossible for the royal family to think that we have good intentions."

What happened last night basically made the conflict clear. Everyone knew that Hecate wanted to usurp the throne. As long as Hecate went to the palace to meet the Queen of Magic, Hecate's intentions could be determined. There was no point in hiding it. .

Hecate nodded slightly and admitted that her apprentice's idea was correct. Now as long as she prepares to enter the palace, she is clearly saying that she will attack the Queen of Magic.

Everyone is waiting for her to fight the Magic Queen.

And right now.

"Haha~ The Magic Queen is a formidable opponent." The sound seemed to come from the friction of wood chips. Xi Mu stopped eating and looked along the source of the sound.

I saw Granny Sethe walking over with the cultists on crutches.

"Moon magic is a very troublesome power." Martha sighed, "I really don't want to face this kind of enemy."

"The enemy of the Magic Queen is not us." The murderer Jack said coldly. Although he seemed to be rebutting, he was also admitting in disguise that he was not the opponent of the Magic Queen.

"And the Magic Queen is favored by the Moon Goddess." The Bloody Countess sighed as if she was worried, "I hope she won't receive the gaze of God."

Ximu looked at the people approaching and said with a smile: "Now the gods don't care about human beings' internal fighting. Their energy is used to find the murderer who assassinated the gods."

Nowadays, the gods in high heaven are very cautious about everything in the lower world. After all, when the omniscient god disappears, the gods in high heaven have lost their leader.

This caused the gods to be very cautious in making any decisions.

And being favored by the gods does not mean that the gods will intervene in the internal struggles of humans. Even if a devout believer dies, the greatest response is to connect the believer's soul to heaven.

"Although that's true." Granny Sethe smiled, "But if you can fight quickly, it's better to fight quickly."
