This knight is too perfect

Chapter 80 Assassination
When Rhine learned that Count Landy might also be eyeing the power of Thorns, he immediately had a clearer understanding of his current situation in Adrian.

Although he had anticipated that Earl Randy's children might hinder him from obtaining the title of Baron Thorn.

But at that time he didn't know that Randy didn't have any extraordinary powers.

This caused Rhine to instinctively feel that the possibility of Randy eyeing the title of Baron of Thorn was not high.

But after Lilith pointed out that in addition to the power contained in the power of thorns itself, it also has the function of serving as a link to the White Tower.

Rhine immediately understood how attractive this title, or the extraordinary power behind the title, was to Randy.

After all, let alone Randy, Rhine himself can think of many ways to use the White Tower to make profits for himself.

For example, telling his enemies that he has obtained the protection of the White Tower, so as to make his enemies afraid.

Randy is not short of money and worldly power.

But there are many things in this world that cannot be bought with money.

Thinking of this, Rhine immediately asked: "Your Highness, since you suspect that Count Randy is ready to interfere, what should we do next?"

Lilysa did not directly tell Rhine what she was thinking, but asked in return: "You should not ask me what to do, but ask yourself whether you want to risk offending a duchy earl and continue to strive for that rare title and extraordinary authority."

In response, Rhine simply thought about it and replied: "Opportunities are rare. If I have the ability to fight for it, I don't want to give up easily."

"understood."

Lilitha nodded and told her plan.

When Rhine learned of her plan, he was shocked.

Because Rhine didn't expect Lilitha's plan to be so bold.

It was so bold that Rhine could never imagine that this was a plan that Lilitha, who was known for her rationality, would come up with.

after an hour.

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to do this?"

Lilysa said calmly: "Rhine, this is the most likely way to help us break the impasse."

"Besides, I have long suspected that Randy is secretly funding the Blood Moon Sect in our country. This is a good opportunity to test him."

"But……"

"No buts, Rhine. This plan was proposed by me. You don't need to feel any psychological burden."

"You just have to tell me whether you agree or not."

Looking at Lilisha's serious expression, Rhine finally said, "Then let's do as you say, Your Highness."

"it is good."

At dusk, Adrian's antique shop called 'Eight Eyes'.

"is the boss around?"

At the counter of the antique shop, the ordinary-looking owner with sparse hair rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up.

However, he did not look at the customer who walked into the store at first, but looked at the old clock hanging above his head.

"Is it only five o'clock in the afternoon?"

The antique shop owner glanced at the time speechlessly and stretched.

Then he stood up and looked at the customer who had come to the counter.

I saw a man wearing a black robe and a black crow's beak mask on his face.

The man was not tall, about 1.7 meters.

Looking at the man who deliberately concealed his identity, the boss didn't seem surprised.

After all, it’s an antique shop, and you’ll always meet some weird people.

These people are sellers and buyers.

And his 'Eight Eyes' antique shop can occupy a place in Adrian where the business competition is so fierce.

Of course it was because he was very disciplined and never revealed any information about the buyer or seller.

Therefore, even though the man with the crow-beak mask was very mysterious, the owner of the Eight-Eyed Antique Shop did not ask many questions.

“Selling or buying?”

Facing the boss's lazy inquiry, the mysterious man calmly said, "Buying things."

"Oh? What?"

Hearing this, the antique shop owner seemed to understand something and asked meaningfully.

"Buy a life."

"understood."

After knowing the purpose of the mysterious man, the antique shop owner immediately stood up and gently knocked on the bell above his head.

Soon, the owl decorative on the top of the station clock came to life and glanced down at the antique shop owner.

In response, the antique shop owner made a special gesture with his hands and revealed a special tattoo on his arm.

After seeing this scene, the revived owl quickly regained its composure.

A secret door soon appeared behind the antique shop owner.

"Dear guest, please follow me."

The mysterious man nodded and followed the antique shop owner into the deep secret passage.

After passing through a long and narrow special secret passage, which was only illuminated by a few braziers.

The boss took the mysterious man to a relatively spacious underground space.

And around this underground space, there are people of all kinds sitting.

These people hid in the shadows, with only a pair of eyes showing.

Although the mysterious man could not see the faces of these people, he could feel their contempt for life from their cold eyes. There was no doubt that they were a group of murderers.

He came for this too.

"arrive."

After leading the mysterious man to a room, the antique shop owner immediately knocked on the door.

After a while, the iron gate slowly opened.

"Go in, my dear guest, tell her your requirements, and then she will give you a corresponding price based on the value of the target you provide."

"Don't worry, as long as you can offer enough bargaining chips, there will be no one that we, the Eight Eyes, dare not kill, except the gods."

"Better so."

The mysterious man said lightly, and then walked directly into the room.

This small room is not only dim, but also gives people an inexplicable feeling of coldness.

This kind of coldness is not physical coldness, but mental coldness.

It seems that if one stays in such a place for a long time, one will unknowingly abandon his humanity and eventually become an emotionless killing machine.

"Guest, please tell me what you want."

The mysterious man came into the room and saw a woman sitting on the sofa.

Opposite the woman, there was a seat reserved for himself.

The mysterious man sat directly opposite the woman and told her the purpose of his visit.

"Kill someone for me."

"Who?"

"The fifth princess of Akkad, Lilitha Akkad."

"..."

After hearing this, the woman remained silent for a long time.

During this process, the candlelight on the table between the two people was constantly flickering, as if suggesting that the woman was not in a peaceful mood at the moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman spoke up: "Sir, we can take on this task, but I don't think you can afford the corresponding price."

"Oh? If you don't tell me, how can you be sure that I can't afford it?"

Hearing this, the woman slowly poked her head out from the shadows.

I saw a half-human creature with a spider head and a woman's body.

It looked at the mysterious man, its eight eyes flashing with sarcasm.

"Sir, although Lilitha herself is only at the bronze level, her guardian is the Wolf King Garrett, who almost reached the gold level."

"But this is nothing to us. After all, there are many ways to kill a person, and we happen to have the best assassination technology in the entire Extraordinary World."

"Just guest, do you know how serious the consequences will be for us if Lilisha dies in our hands?"

"Oh? What are the consequences?"

"The consequences of being cursed by a god."

After saying that, the woman returned to the shadows and ordered them to leave.

"Go back, guest. You can't give us the leverage we want."

Hearing this, the mysterious man pondered for a moment and then proposed another option.

"What if it's someone close to Lilitha?"

"Who?"

"His guardian knight, Rhine."

"Guest, please wait a moment."

After about five minutes, the woman seemed to have learned Rhine's information through some special means.

And gave a decisive answer.

"If it's just this boy named Rhine, then there really isn't any problem."

"But this man is not cheap either. After all, he seems to have a very good relationship with Princess Lilitha."

"Guest, are you sure you want us to kill him?"

Hearing this, the mysterious man said without hesitation: "Yes."

"Row."

The woman nodded and pushed a parchment scroll written in blood-red handwriting in front of the mysterious man.

"This is the price we offer. You can only accept or reject it. There is no bargaining."

"Of course, if we find that the difficulty of assassinating the target exceeds the price in this contract during the actual assassination process, we have the right to terminate or directly reject this transaction."

"Similarly, you also have the right to terminate the contract at any time. However, regardless of whether the contract is completed or not, we at Eight Eyes will not return your deposit. How do you do that?"

The mysterious man picked up the contract on the table and looked at it carefully.

It turned out that the price that Bayan paid for assassinating Rhine was a full ten thousand Morton gold coins.

And this price is equivalent to about one million RMB.

In response, the mysterious man thought for a moment and said, "No problem, just follow this contract."

"Okay, then please pay a 30% deposit first. After the deal is done, we will come back to you to get the rest of the payment."

"it is good."
