Lord Chronicle

Chapter 124 Assassination Conspiracy
That night, the residence of Special Envoy Lulin and his party in the city of Yacos.

"Is this true?" Ferino asked in surprise.

Buffett said: "The news has been confirmed. Today Sol met with Lloyd, the Minister of Fire Magic, Nila, the instructor of the White Magic Department, Ogg, the instructor of the Magic Materials Research Office, and the second alchemist of the Alchemy Department. Jem. They are all heavyweights within the guild, and more importantly, these people tend to support Dinar."

"You mean..." Felino frowned.

Buffett nodded: "They have been talking in secret together for a long time. Obviously, Sol has reached some kind of agreement with these people. In this way, his influence in the Wizards Guild is no less than ours. Besides, there are Walsa, the son of former president Albert, is said to have a very good relationship with him."

"There is such a thing, his hand stretched out so fast." Felino mused.

"Also..." Buffett seemed hesitant to speak.

Felino asked in surprise, "Anything else?"

"That's right. According to my eyeliner report, after the secret conversation with those people, Sol went to the research room of Robert, the instructor of the Summoning Department, and stayed there for a long time." Buffett said.

Felino was taken aback: "What? Didn't you say that Robert has never cared about outside affairs and will not support any party this time?"

Buffett hurriedly said: "That's true. I tried to win him over, but there was no response. Maybe Sol went to him for something else, not what we thought."

Felino gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, what else can that guy do? It must be to win over Robert. He can stay there for so long, maybe he has succeeded..."

"What's more..." Buffett hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It is said that before Sol left, President Farina also went to the Summoning Department. Although Sol left soon after, it is estimated from the time , they may well have been in contact."

"What!?" Felino couldn't believe it: "Even the president... How did this guy do it?"

Buffett said distressedly: "Yeah, I don't understand either. Chairman Farina has made it clear that he won't meet anyone these days, so why would he take the initiative to meet him? There must be something weird about it."

"Sol, you are really a good opponent." Felino sneered.

"Although I don't know what method he used, he has obviously gone ahead of us. We must not let this guy win the support of the Wizards Guild. I didn't want to use this kind of low-level trick at first, but now it seems , and don’t care about that much anymore.”

As he said that, Felino turned his head slightly, and shouted behind him: "Find a way to kill him as soon as possible, understand?"

Behind Felino was a shadowed wall, and no one could be seen. However, just as he finished speaking, three invisible shadows in the corner of the wall moved away quietly.

Buffett said in surprise, "Are you really going to use them?"

Felino nodded: "I don't know how many people Saul has won the support of, and I don't have time to check it out. This is the easiest and fastest way to solve the problem. Don't worry, they are full-time in Yeying Assassination elites, this time bringing them here is not only responsible for defense, but also just in case, unexpectedly it really came in handy.”

"Master Cliff has ordered you to be fully responsible for this mission. Since that is the case, let's do it." Buffett agreed.

"Felino, I didn't expect you to play these tricks." Mei Lisi looked at him in surprise.

"If despicable means are the best way to solve the problem, I will use it without hesitation." Facing her, Felino smiled slightly.

************************************************** *************
Another day passed, and Marconi still did not summon Sol, and there was no further news from the Wizards Guild.Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Sol simply took Jessica and Kress to visit the city of Yacos. The exotic city opened the eyes of the group.

After a day of shopping, everyone was exhausted after returning to their residence.In the middle of the night, the Moonlight Hotel was silent, and everyone fell into a deep dream. In the empty hotel, there were only a few magic spar lamps emitting a faint light.

Suddenly, several imperceptible black figures turned up to the balcony lightly like ghosts. They were several mysterious men in black tights.After landing, they crouched silently on the ground like civet cats, looking around vigilantly with scorching eyes.

After a while, after confirming that no one had noticed, a man made a gesture first, and then the other two flipped over on the spot and rolled into the living room of the hotel.

There was no one in the living room, except for the faint snoring sound from behind the doors of several rooms.The three men carefully avoided the furniture in the living room and groped towards the deepest room.

Their actions were silent, they didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, and even when they passed by the candlelight on the table, the air current brought up by their bodies didn't even shake the flame, obviously they were all masters of stealth.While moving, they also alternated and constantly changed their positions, always keeping every corner of the room in each other's line of sight, being extremely careful.

Suddenly, following the sound of footsteps, a ray of bright spar light came up from the opposite staircase.The three men looked at each other, shrank back slightly, and disappeared in place in an instant.

After a while, Nick came up with a few knights in charge of night watch. The spar lamp in the hand of one of them first shone brightly, illuminating the dark living room.

Their armor stepped on the wooden floor of the hotel, making a thumping sound, which could be heard very clearly in the silent night.A group of people carefully explored every corner of the living room, and then gradually walked away from the other side along the corridor.

As the night watch knight's spar lamp gradually faded away, the living room returned to darkness.After a while, the shadows of the place where the three disappeared just now were shaken, and three loach-like figures slid out from the ceiling, wall and floor respectively.

The episode just now didn't have any impact on these three people. There was no trace of rejoicing or relief on their faces, and even their eyes were cold and indifferent from beginning to end.

Looking around indifferently again, they continued to move forward, blowing silently through the corridor like a gust of night wind, and came to the door of the innermost luxurious room.

This was Sol's room, and the two guards in charge of the night guard were patrolling the corridor outside. Since it was late at night, their vigilant faces couldn't hide a trace of fatigue.

Hiding around the corner to observe for a while, one of the men winked secretly, while the other two slowly shrank into the shadow behind them.After waiting for a moment, the man suddenly got up and jumped towards the opposite side.

His jumping figure immediately caught the attention of the two soldiers, and they turned their heads to look this way vigilantly at the same time.Unexpectedly, at the same time as they turned their heads, two human-shaped shadows suddenly appeared strangely on the ceiling above their heads, and then fell to the ground from behind them.

"...!?" The two soldiers were about to warn, but their mouths were tightly covered by the two men who fell from behind, and at the same time, two daggers stabbed fiercely from behind along the heart.

The tense bodies of the two soldiers immediately softened. They struggled feebly in the hands of the two men, and then slipped and fell to the ground.What is strange is that the daggers in the hands of the two men seem to have some special device, and after piercing the heart, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

After killing two soldiers, the two men gently put their bodies on the ground, and at the same time the man in charge of luring the enemy also flashed into the corridor, and the three gathered in front of the closed door outside Sol's room.

A man stretched out his hand to pull the door, but another man held his wrist tightly.He made a gesture of waiting, then took out a scroll from his arms, and unfolded it on the ground.

He stretched out his fingers and clicked on the scroll a few times, and a soft light gradually diffused from the surface of the scroll, followed by the soft light gradually filling the surrounding space.Almost at the same time, a strange translucent curtain wall appeared in the air in front of the door. Its surface was undulating like the surface of water, as if a wall made of water had been erected in the air.

This is a very powerful enchantment. Arkos is worthy of being the capital of the Magic Kingdom. In order to protect Sol, who is important, the official directly asked several senior magicians to set up a protective magic circle outside his room.Unless there is a more powerful mage here, no one can go further.

"Can you untie it?" A man asked with gestures.

The other man immediately issued a series of sign language: "This is a very powerful barrier. It is initially judged to be at least level seven. The scroll we brought can only deal with level six barriers at most, and cannot penetrate it."

If you don't break the barrier, you can't enter the room. The men glanced at each other and didn't speak for a while.But even though they encountered insurmountable obstacles, there was no trace of anxiety on their faces.

After a while, one of the men suddenly made a gesture, signaling the other two to follow him.The other two men took back the scroll without any further questions, and followed him out of the corridor.

Back in the living room, the three of them turned out from the balcony one by one, and they appeared on the next floor not long after.Most of the servants and Nick's guard lived on this floor, and there were about a dozen rooms on both sides of the corridor.

Looking back and forth in each room, the three men came to the door on the left at the end of the corridor. One of them took out a thin wire and fiddled with the door lock a few times, and then opened the door easily.

The three of them stepped in, and there was a slight snoring sound in the room, and there were two attendants who came with Sol sleeping inside.If someone who is familiar with the structure of the hotel is here, they will be surprised to find that this room is just below Sol's room, and they can find it accurately at a glance. The three of them really have considerable vision.

A man glanced at the two sleeping attendants, and asked if he wanted to do something.The leading man hesitated for a moment. The other party was sleeping soundly. With their skills, he was confident that he would not disturb them.But tonight's goal was very important, and he didn't want to leave any possible omissions, so he nodded.

Two of his subordinates immediately touched the side of the bed, and lightly cut the throats of the two attendants with the dagger in their hands.The two people who were sleeping soundly didn't even groan, they died immediately, the blood spurted out of the trachea, soaking a large piece of the bed sheet.

At the same time, the leading man had already stood on the cabinet, took out a thumb-sized vial from his waist pocket, poured some viscous liquid from it and spread it evenly on the ceiling.

After a while, an amazing thing happened. Under the corrosion of the liquid, the thick ceiling began to erode rapidly, and countless fine wood chips like flour fell down one after another, and soon accumulated a pile on the floor.At this time, a large hole had been corroded in the ceiling connecting the upper and lower floors, from which the scene of the upper floor could be faintly seen.

It's really admirable that they came up with such an incredible method when they couldn't break the barrier at the door.I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the enemy would attack from under his feet.

The man at the head grasped the edge of the hole in the ceiling, turned over lightly from the hole to the upper floor, this process was silent, without touching anything.

The other two men also flipped up, and soon the three of them were squatting on the floor of Sol's room.After quietly observing the surroundings, they stood up slowly, and Sol, who was sleeping with his limbs spread out on the big bed in the room, appeared in their eyes.

The three of them walked to the bed, and after a brief glance, they were sure that this was the goal for tonight.They are all top killers, facing their prey without any hesitation, a man drew a dagger from the back of his waist and stabbed at Sol's heart.

************************************************** ************************
At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly rose up from the hole in the floor behind the three of them like lightning, and at the same time, three beams of silver light shot out of their hands and shot at their backs.

The two men turned around in an instant, and with a few crisp sounds, the three daggers that were shot were immediately knocked away, piercing the ceiling and the wall in three directions.And in this less than a second of delay, another man's dagger was inserted.

"My lord!" The visitor exclaimed, but it was Kip.However, he is not a god after all, and it is too late to stop him now.

Then, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The moment the dagger touched Sol's body, suddenly, a dazzling glare burst out from his chest, and the dagger in the man's hand shook violently, and it was thrown out and nailed to the top of the bed.

And at this moment, two figures jumped up again from the hole in the floor, standing on the left and right of Kip, and they were the Yeying team members who accompanied him to protect Sol.

The sudden strong light surprised everyone, and the man whose dagger was blown away couldn't help but took a few steps back.At the same time, he heard a scream on the bed, and Sol turned over and got up.

"It hurts so much, who is it...huh?" Then he looked at the people in the room in astonishment.

"What are you... um, my chest." Just as he was about to ask, Sol suddenly clutched his heart in pain, where a ball of blood was slowly soaking through the clothes on his chest.

The strong light just now came from the protective necklace that Albert gave Saul.This necklace can resist three attacks for the user. Sol has avoided fatal danger twice by relying on it. Just now it saved Thor's life again, but this is the last time it will work.

However, since the man stabbed directly at the heart and the distance was short, the necklace could only block part of Sol's attack, so he still suffered some injuries after all.

Unexpectedly, he was not dead, and the men showed expressions of disbelief.Chip and the others were greatly surprised, without any hesitation, he rushed over here immediately.

Looking at each other, two of the three men rushed forward immediately, and the man who had just attacked Sol rushed forward again.Since there was no weapon in his hand, he simply turned his palm into a knife and stabbed directly at Sol's neck.

Sol was taken aback. Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, no matter how stupid he was, he could see that the other party was here to kill him.At the critical moment, he didn't have time to think about it, he subconsciously raised his right hand to the man.

There was another flash of light in the dark room, and at the same time, the man who had just rushed forward seemed to be hit hard by something, and bounced back like a cannonball.

Hiss!Xiaomei, who appeared, swung the man away with her tail. She hissed threateningly, stood up in front of Saul, and put on a defensive posture.

"Xiaomei, well done... cough cough... who are these guys..." Saul praised happily, and then he coughed, and the blood on his chest accelerated, and the wound was actually deeper than imagined.

Chip, who was fighting with the two men over there, said anxiously: "My lord, get out of here!"

"kill him!"

The leader yelled, and the man who was entangled with the two Yeying team members retreated like lightning, and he had already rushed towards Sol.At the same time, the man who was kicked by Xiaomei turned over and instantly took his place. The two of them advanced and retreated, and their cooperation was so ingenious that even members of Yeying's skill did not find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"It's you?" The opponent's skill made Chip's eyes shrink sharply.

The man who was fighting with him sneered: "It's really surprising that I met my companions here. Why do you help the Dinar people!"

After seeing the other party's identity, Chip's face was very solemn. He tried his best to approach Sol without saying a word, but was blocked by the other party, and he couldn't do it for a while.

At this time, the man had rushed to Sol.Seeing someone attacking her master, Xiaomei flicked her snake tail like lightning, and immediately went to meet him.Facing the oncoming snake demon, the man's eyes were as calm as ever, and the moment Xiaomei was about to grab him, his body suddenly fell short, and he passed her by with incredible agility.

Unexpectedly, the other party would avoid Xiaomei in a single encounter, Sol was quite surprised, seeing that avoidance was inevitable, he was determined, and stretched out his hand to reach forward again.

Quack!With a cry, a griffin suddenly appeared, blocking between the man and Sol.Unexpectedly, a magical beast would suddenly pop out of the air, and the man was taken aback. He was running with all his strength at this time, and it was impossible to avoid it in such a short distance. He saw that a man and a beast were about to collide.

At this time, Simba, who had just been summoned, hadn't figured out the situation when he saw a person rushing towards him with his head buried in his head. Driven by instinct, he slapped it with his paw.

There was a griffin in front, and the snake demon behind him also chased after him. The man made a decisive decision, and the moment Simba's claws caught him, he turned his body violently to the side.With a puff, the sharp claws of the griffin pulled out several long bloody gashs on his shoulders, but the man also took advantage of this sideways movement to slip under Simba's body.

To be able to break through the double-teaming of a high-level monster and a mid-level monster in an instant, this man really has amazing strength, but this is obviously not a good thing, because Sol in the back is in danger.

Seeing the man passing under Simba and rushing towards him, Sol had no choice but to call out Xiaomei and Simba continuously, and he had no more monsters to use.Even if he wanted to use the "Quermac Suicide Note" at the bottom of the box to save his life, it was too late to take it out at this time, and if he summoned any dangerous monsters, he might be the first to suffer.

The wound on the heart was bleeding profusely, and with the two syringes of blood drawn by Robert yesterday, Saul was a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss.He could only take a step back subconsciously, and the shining dagger in the opponent's hand reflected a gradually enlarged light in his eyes.

Chip over there also noticed Thor's critical situation, and in a hurry he threw the dagger in his hand.The man who fought him immediately seized the opening, leaving a scar on his arm.

The dagger skimmed the distance between the two sides in an instant, and stabbed straight at the man's vest. At the same time, Xiaomei shot a bone arrow from behind, and Simba, who was closest to the man, also slapped it with his claws.

The three attacks came almost in unison, but the man seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, he didn't even look, and his body turned to avoid the bone arrows passing by.At the same time, he swung his left hand back and blocked the dagger that Kip shot with his palm. When his palm was pierced, he turned around and slashed at Simba's claw.

The paw was cut wide, and Simba jumped back in pain, just in time to block Xiaomei who was chasing up.Although he avoided three fatal attacks in an instant, the man was also seriously injured. A large piece of flesh was taken away by the bone arrow in his shoulder, and the blood flow continued.

But the important thing is that he has avoided all obstacles and came to Thor's side.At this time, Sol was having difficulty even standing still, let alone avoiding a counterattack, and he was once again in danger of life and death.

It would be too useless to die like this... Seeing the opponent's figure gradually enlarge in the field of vision, at this moment, such a helpless and insignificant thought came to Sol's mind.
