Imperial Crown.

Chapter 450 That’s enough!
Chapter 471 That’s enough!

The man in black robe almost melted into the shadows, and entered Raven's tent like an invisible wind, blowing the curtain.

The man in black robe is called "Chew Bone".

He himself didn't like this zombie-like name, but who could blame him for inheriting code names and not choosing them himself?

"Chew the bones" is considered good. In the fraternity, there are also people called "rotten teeth", "maggot eyes" and "rotten tongue".

The one who made Juegu feel most gloating was a killer named "Meihun". He was an old man in his 70s, and he was often appointed by people who did not know the truth to do "special commissions"...

Following all the way from Molinier here, the task of chewing bones is easy.

The first thing is to get one of Raven's personal belongings; on this basis, if possible, to confirm whether Raven is really as old as the rumors say.

"Damn, this noble lord really knows how to enjoy himself." Juegu rubbed his nose and observed the environment inside the tent.

The ground was covered with three thick layers of carpets, and underneath seemed to be several layers of stone slabs and wooden boards, which blocked out the suffocating moisture from the Ever Summer Province; a brazier was burning quietly in the corner, filling the air with a rare dry smell.

This made Jue Gu, who had been trudging in the rain for more than ten days, feel sad.

God have mercy on him. In order not to arouse suspicion, he walked through puddles one by one. Now there are several blisters on the soles of his boots.

However, if we put aside our prejudices, we can still see that Raven's requirements for quality of life are not extravagant, and his life is very organized.

The desk is tidy and clean, with all the stationery neatly put away. There is a glass of water on the bedside and a thick book next to the pillow. Apart from that, there is nothing else.

And Raven was sleeping soundly, unaware of his arrival.

But in fact, Raven had already noticed his arrival.

However, due to his old appearance, he had to continue pretending to be asleep, and all he wanted was for this guy to leave as soon as possible.

Chewing Bone tiptoed to Raven's bed, squatted down, took a shoe and stuffed it into the space belt. Looking at Raven's sleeping face, he hesitated for a moment.

Otherwise, try it?

Walking to the door of the tent, Chewing Bone grabbed the curtain, ready to rush out at any time, then pursed his lips and exhaled softly: "Shhh——"

Blow the whistle gently!
The sound is not loud and not very penetrating, but it is especially clear in the not-so-wide tent.

no response.

Chewing Bone swallowed his saliva, walked to the bed, pulled out a strand of his hair, and gently played with it on Raven's forehead.

Still no response.

This made Bone Chewing a little bolder, and he leaned down, put his head close to Raven's forehead, and took a deep sniff.

Raven was going crazy.

Get out of here, you pervert!
The whistle before made him want to go to the toilet, and he had to endure the itch on his forehead with great difficulty. Now this person actually smelled it?
Are you an old-fashioned person?

Get out of here, get out of here...

Raven kept repeating this in his mind, but things went against his wishes.

Chewbone straightened up and sniffed. He could indeed smell the scent of an old man on Raven, a smell that was hard to fake.

But now that Raven has aged to this extent...

His eyes swept downwards and landed on the space ring on Raven's finger.

The space ring of a count and a 4th-level magician, how many good things does it have?
Worth the risk!

So he grabbed Raven's wrist, pinched the ring, and slowly took it off.

When I got the ring, my heart was at peace.

But Raven's heart was dead.

The ring contains his entire fortune.

The dragon card he just got, his own dragon locust wood staff, more than 600 magic cores of various types, as well as life essence, recovery potion, healing potion, a full set of enchanting tools, more than 10 magic scrolls and gold coins.

The amount of money is secondary, a lot of hard work has gone into it!

But as I said before, the fact that I have not aged cannot be exposed. Even if the ring is lost, it is worth it if it can dispel other people's suspicions.

Then he heard another rustling noise.

No, the ring has been taken, why are you not leaving?
Juegu put away the ring, but his eyes became more greedy.

Since Raven has aged so much, why don't I try to kill him?
Although he did not accept an assassination mission, Raven's head is very valuable on the underground bounty list. There are a total of 6 tasks related to this. If he kills Raven and completes all the tasks at once, Chewing Bone can get at least 40 gold coins.

He licked his lips, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and his gaze fell on Raven's lower body.

"Little bee..." Chewbone whispered to himself, "...this is a nice trophy."

By that time, when the news gets out that Raven, a count, died of excessive blood loss without that thing, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Moreover, his bone chewing will also make him famous in the underground world along with Raven's ridiculous death. Not only will his net worth soar, but he will also be able to leave his name in history!

The blade swung.

Raven frowned subconsciously.

Anyway, I have absorbed the 7th level magic core of the Hydra Lizard before, so even if it is gone, it can grow again.

Just bear with it……

……

What the hell can you endure?!
With a bang, Raven opened his eyes and grabbed Chewing Bone's wrist:

"I said, that's too much!"

Jugu shuddered and immediately let go of his hand. He knelt on the ground with a thud and spoke in the Cartier dialect with a very strong accent:
"My Lord, please spare me, my Lord, please spare me. I just came here to steal something!"

Raven frowned, "Speaking human language, I don't understand."

Chewing the bone continued in Cartier dialect: "You stupid, mentally retarded Alzheimer's disease, just sleep well and let me cut you up, why are you making so much trouble..."

"No, you're done." Raven clenched his fists, thinking back to everything the bastard had done to him. He couldn't pretend anymore and started to curse:
“It’s never going to end, is it?!”

Chewing Bone, who was sprayed with spit in the face, was stunned at first, then he reacted.

Raven is a mage, and he is so old. The space ring is still in my hand. I am also a level 4 and a shadow assassin. Why should I be afraid of him! ?

As soon as the thought came to mind, a thick shadow surged out from Juegu's body, and the whole person floated backwards like smoke.

The fighting spirit surged along his arm, condensing into more than ten shadow blades shaped like peacock feathers, which flew out one after another and shot towards Raven!

This is one of Jugu's most proficient combat skills, a second-level combat skill, Shadow Blade Assault.

Raven remained calm and recited a short spell in the Elvish language, and a wall of wind rose in front of him.

As a first-level magic, an ordinary wind wall is a sphere that blows outward with the caster as the center, and almost no color can be seen.

However, the wind wall in front of Raven was a rectangle about 2 meters high and 1 meter wide, which was just enough to cover the attack range of the flying shadow blade, and it appeared a blue color visible to the naked eye.

The shadow blade pierced into the wind wall as if it was nailed to a real wall - no, although this shadow blade assault was only a tier 2 combat skill, it was enough to easily break through a real brick wall in Bone Chew's hands.

The wind wall that Raven created is stronger than steel!

However, this is only a first-level magic after all. After intercepting the 13th shadow blade, as the 14th shadow blade pierced in, the wind wall suddenly collapsed.

A strong wind blew in the tent, tearing the first 14 shadow blades apart, but the 15th broke through the barrier and landed on Raven's shoulder, penetrating half an inch!
Blood spilled.

"You shouldn't have woken up." Chewing Bone put on a grim smile:
"Lord Raven, now I ask you to go on your journey in pain!"

……

Chapter 472: Killing is easy...

The shadows were grim and filled the entire tent like fog.

The figure of Chewing Bone broke through the mist, and the shadow in his hand condensed into a sharp blade, heading straight for Raven's throat.

Almost at the same time, the shadow behind Raven became as smooth as a mirror, then it became boiling and condensed into a shape that was no different from Chewing Bone. It also swung the shadow blade and slashed at Raven's lower back! "Mirror of Shadow!"

It was like the sound of thousands of chewing bones making the same sound, and the sound echoed in the tent.

Raven's body was cut into three pieces at this moment!
Then it disappeared like mist.

"Mirror image? Illusion!? When!?" Chewing Bone was instantly covered in cold sweat, and looked around but could not see Raven.

Did he use invisibility?

"Damn it!"

Although he didn't want to make too much noise, as that would attract the Eagle Army and make it difficult for him to escape; but if he let Raven escape now, his fate would be the same, or even worse.

嗡

Fighting spirit rose from beneath his robe and condensed into a dark and mute dagger behind him. As his fighting spirit continued to be driven, the dagger turned into thin threads that seemed to be there and not there and floated away.

Wherever it passed, even the tiniest dust was crushed and cut, the candlelight was distorted, and the entire space was cut apart in strands, like a curtain that would fall at any time.

This is his Secret Hand, one of the Shadow Brotherhood's top secrets, a fourth-level combat skill.

"Assassination Curtain!"

Under the curtain formed by hundreds or thousands of invisible blades, even a knight of the same level 4 would not be able to survive!

suddenly.

A bright purple light flashed before my eyes.

It penetrated through layers of sharp blades and pierced through his protective fighting spirit.

This made Chewbone's eyes widen.

However, before the feeling of astonishment could arise in his heart, his consciousness had completely solidified.

A layer of black ice crystals has wrapped it.

Raven appeared from the corner of the tent, looking at the lifelike chewing bones in the black ice, and sighed helplessly:

"Why are you doing this? Can't you just quit while you're ahead?"

"You forced me to take action. Now you have to confess yourself!"

As he spoke, the wound on Raven's shoulder was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood that had stained his robes was flowing back drop by drop.

In just a few breaths, the half-inch deep wound was completely healed.

This was one of the benefits of absorbing the 7th level magic crystal of the Hydra Lizard, which gave Raven's body an irrepressible regenerative ability.

If both sides were really prepared and faced each other one-on-one, Raven would not have been killed by the chewing bones just by relying on this ability.

But it is not that easy to win.

But who made Chewbone choose such a small place like a tent?

Normally speaking, in this kind of environment, magicians would be at a disadvantage when facing off against Dou Qi users, but the Desolate Dead Fire that Raven possessed, which contained the law of "eternal freeze", could fully unleash its power.

This is because what Jue Gu didn't know was that after taking the golden tree saliva, Raven had already recovered his health, and his life span was even longer than before, at least he could live to 60 years old.

If he had known, he would never have taken such a risk, let alone had the courage to sneak into Raven's tent.

In fact, if Chewing Bone hadn't used a massively destructive martial art in the end, Raven wouldn't even want to kill him - at least not personally. He really didn't want to be suspected of pretending to be weak.

With a sigh, Raven withdrew his magic power to freeze and chew bones.

Just as he was about to stuff the bone-chewing corpse into the space ring, he heard a crackling sound.

The black ice on the corpse began to crack, and then turned into six or seven pieces of ice that fell to the ground with a thud.

Without the maintenance of magic, the black ice disappeared almost instantly. Black ice was a creation of the law of permafrost and had nothing to do with temperature.

With this disappearance, the influence of the law was no longer there, and the body that was originally wrapped in black ice immediately gushed out blood.

"Oh my god... is that true?!" Raven complained in a long voice: "You're still going against me even after you die?"

The whole body could still be thrown into the storage ring, but now with the shattering of the black ice, the body was broken into almost hundreds of pieces. How long would it take to clean up?
puff.

A chuckle came from the corner, and then the black cat Sikoret came out with an elegant step and swung its tail: "You are still unskilled, Desolate Dead Fire."

"Ahem..." Raven cleared his throat, scratched his chin, and glanced at Sikoret: "How about you help me deal with it?"

"You magical pets, it seems, don't have a rule against eating humans, right?"

"That's not the case." Sikoret rolled his eyes at Raven. "But look, even if I want to be a cannibal, do I have a stomach that big?"

"I've already cast the invisibility spell on you, you'll have to deal with this mess on your own!"

Raven had no choice but to walk forward and squat on the ground, looking at the colorful ground, his brows frowned in disgust again.

This is not a job for a noble, so much blood...

Blood?

"Sicoret, help me call William over, quietly!"

20 minute later.

Looking at the carpet that had become generally clean and tidy, Raven nodded with satisfaction:
"It's hard work, it's none of your business now, go have fun!"

The skin of a vampire is always pale, but William's face is much paler than usual at this moment, revealing a world-weary blue color, and there is still blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Burp!" William opened his mouth and let out a full burp that smelled like felt. He tried hard to suppress his nausea and said, "Then Master, I'll leave first..."

As he spoke, he transformed into a fat bat, flapped his wings and flew away.

Raven still had some finishing work to do.

The first thing is to use clean water to wash away the remaining blood spots scattered on the carpet. Although it cannot be completely removed, the carpet is dark in color. It is enough to dissolve the blood stains so that people cannot notice them at a glance.

Anyway, this carpet needs to be replaced and washed every time we move camp.

Then, he put the tables and chairs that had been shaken back to their original positions. After making sure there were no flaws, Raven sat on the edge of the bed and took out Chewing Bone's relic - in fact, it was just a space belt.

Although it is large, due to its low craftsmanship requirements, the belt can almost be said to be the space equipment with the lowest capacity.

Looking at the belt, Raven's thoughts couldn't help but wander, and his expression became a little gloomy.

No matter who sent this guy, the fact that he died here silently has already conveyed a message.

This doesn't help Raven's pretend aging.

Fortunately, Raven did not arrange guards at the door of the tent, thus preventing the news of this man coming to his tent from spreading.

The reason why he didn't make any arrangements was that Raven knew that the guy who had the ability to touch the door of the tent and threaten his safety could not be stopped by ordinary soldiers or even ordinary extraordinary people.

Unless he had Eric standing guard at the door the whole time.

But that is impossible. Raven is now pretending to be ill, and Eric is handling many things.

Shaking his head, throwing away these messy thoughts from his mind, Raven opened the space belt:
"Hmm...what the hell is this?"

In this space belt, there are many carefully processed and preserved body parts, ears, eyes, fingers, Adam's apples, dead babies, fake breasts...

It does reveal the identity of its owner as a perverted killer.

In addition, there is a badge lying quietly in it.

"Shadow Brotherhood?" Raven held the badge in his hand and identified its origin through the pattern:
"Isn't this a subordinate organization of the Death Hand?"

Raven nodded slightly, and the gloom on his face disappeared:
"In that case, this assassination may not be a bad thing."
