Princess' personal painter

As soon as the words fell, the figure of "Joker" jumped up and ran away in the opposite direction of the setting sun.

This turn of events caught Erin a little off guard.Seeing the help-seeking look from the woman in green, she made a decisive decision, said "Xia, I'll be back soon", and flew in the direction of "Joker".

At this time, Erin's body contained the magic power that Sisyana had transmitted to her in advance just in case, so as long as she did not meet an opponent of the same level as the princess, she could easily deal with it.

In a short period of time, relying on the top strength of the mainland, it is not difficult to catch up with "Joker".

His gaze was firmly locked on the figure of the "clown", and the long chestnut hair slapped Irene's cheeks from time to time during the rapid flight, causing some pain.Somewhat unexpectedly, the "clown" in the field of vision, relying on his non-human agile figure, shuttled and jumped between the alleys with complex terrain, and she couldn't catch up for a while.

Bah, this guy escapes really fast!

Wait, wait... not human?

Chapter 13 The True Face of the "Joker"

The alley at dusk falls, and the surroundings are empty and deserted.

It was determined that the "clown" must be hiding nearby, but Erin could only sense the other party's breath, but could not determine the specific location of the other party.Combined with the tracking just now, the other party's agile figure like a ghost raised her vigilance in her heart.

With such an outstanding talent for hiding and escaping, it's no wonder that after assassinating Yorick, he was able to escape smoothly under the situation that Kalinin was on guard throughout the city and pursued by many parties.

Expanding her mental power to the surrounding environment, Erin moved her steps carefully.

When walking past a residential house, there was a slight sound coming from the rattan basket placed by the door, Irene paused vigilantly, and raised her hand to strike a magic barrier.

Accompanied by the slight sound of breaking through the air, two ordinary stones hit the barrier.

Realizing that this was just a slapstick trick, Erin's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly activated her magic power to fly sideways for a certain distance.During this period, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a small but scarlet magic crystal flying along a parabola and landed on the position where she was standing just now.

It really deserves to be the famous "Demolition Maniac".

Just as Irene expected, a sudden explosion sounded from behind, and the fragments of the explosion in the violent wind swept towards Irene together with the blown debris.

Irene, who didn't want to get her clothes dirty, turned around and got into the side alley.

What greeted her was a "clown" mask a few meters away and several daggers attacking her head on.

The faintly visible silk threads appeared all over her body, easily defusing the "clown"'s attack.Erin's body lightly landed on the ground, she patted the dust off her clothes, and walked towards her opponent.

"You know, I'm actually looking forward to fighting with you."

"Oh, is that so? Thank you very much for your kindness." The "clown" who maintained a strange smile bowed slightly and said with a sneer, "I am also very happy to fulfill Miss's wishes."

As if wearing a mask, the confidence of being a top assassin returned to him.

As soon as the words fell, the "clown" took out two daggers from behind, held one on the left and one on the left, and then stuck them to the right at a strange pace, using the shadow under the wall to quickly gallop towards Irene Come.

The distance of a few steps was reached in an instant, and the moment the two figures crossed each other, there were two clear "bang bang" sounds, and then the figure of the "clown" rushed out several meters with inertia, supporting the wall and leaning over. Panting.

There were tiny bloodstains on his arm, and he trembled unconsciously.

There was a slight "buzzing" sound from far to near, and two daggers tumbling in mid-air "swiftly" plunged into the gravel beside the "Joker".

Erin defeated him with just one move.

Relying on only extremely simple "skills".

"Since you don't believe in my strength, then I will prove it to you." The girl's cold voice came into the ears of "Joker", "How about we make a deal?"

This world is so unfair. In any face-to-face confrontation, the huge advantage of magicians over warriors makes "Joker" have no chance of winning.

Realizing that in more than half a year, Irene had changed from the adopted daughter of the chamber of commerce who had no self-protection ability to a strong man she could not fight against, the strange smile on the mask of the "clown" seemed to freeze there.

Irene walked behind this person and said, "I just want to know who the employer of the assassination case is. In exchange, you can propose a condition that I can accept...Of course, you don't need to make a decision right away. , you can come to me anytime.”

After a pause, Irene sighed, and said lightly: "We should go there."

After teaching the other party a lesson, the disgust in her heart faded a lot.

However, Irene, who thought she was in charge of the situation, obviously underestimated the weight of the Assassin's Creed in the "Joker"'s heart, and the opponent's mind that has been walking in the dark for too long to fathom.

When she saw the magic crystal under the "Joker"'s feet, there was a warning sign in her heart, but she was a step too late.

The violent explosion happened at a very short distance. Even though the magic barrier was opened at the last moment, it was still impacted by a huge force.Irene's body that was knocked into the air went straight through a wall, and the strong wind generated by the explosion blew across her body, and the parts of her body that were not protected by magic in time suffered a lot of skin trauma. Fortunately, the magic power in her body was very strong, and she looked quite She was basically safe and sound when she was in a mess.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the figure of "Joker" fleeing into the distance in a hurry.

Irene's heart was suddenly filled with anger, she forced a breath, and suddenly stopped her flying body. It only took a few seconds to catch up with the "clown", and said in a cold voice: "I don't seem to be intimidated." Your Excellency, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Realizing that Irene was catching up so quickly, "Joker" didn't answer her question, but there was obviously panic in his figure.The other party quickly turned over in the air, took out another magic crystal from his arms, and threw it straight at Irene, trying to stop her pursuit.

Irene caught the magic crystal precisely: "The same trick won't work the third time."

Just when the "clown" wondered why the magic crystal didn't explode, I saw Irene narrowed her eyes, and after a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she spit out a few words: "Zhi, you, ya,!"

The scarlet magic crystal in his hand shot towards the "Joker".

Watching the dangerous magic crystal flying in front of him, the pupils under the clown's mask dilated rapidly, and he tried to avoid it by rolling his body in the air, but it was already in vain.

The deafening explosion was heard in this urban area for the third time.

The figure of "Joker" was engulfed by the explosion and fell straight to the ground.

With a soft "hum", Eileen felt in a good mood for a moment, but the smile on her face only lasted for a few seconds, and her expression became a little stiff.

Hmm, it seems that... I got into trouble?

This guy is not so easy to hang up, is he?Let my elder sister heal him later...it should be fine, right?

When the dust cleared, Irene approached the "clown" with a feeling of uneasiness. The moment she saw him, her heart sank.

The clown mask was broken into several pieces and scattered on the side.

The young man named Naru lying on the ground had a terribly scorched face, and his body was covered with shocking wounds, making it unbearable to see.

Judging by the tragedy, he might have died.

"Is this impossible?" Eileen muttered to herself.

In just a few years, with his superb strength and unique assassination style, he became one of the top players in the "League of Assassins" under the name "Scarlet Clown", and he died like this?If she hadn't seen this scene with her own eyes, Irene would never believe this fact.

By this time it was almost completely dark.

While in a daze, a slight sobbing sound came from nowhere.

Irene was taken aback, and looked at the "corpse" on the ground again, only then did she discover the clue.

No blood was seen.

She squatted down with doubts, endured the discomfort, and went to check the scorched parts of the young man's body, and stretched out her hand to confirm it——

It does not belong to human musculoskeletal!

During this period, the weeping sound of a little girl who was close at hand became more and more clear.

It suddenly occurred to Erin that the "clown" was incredibly agile and could often make strange postures that violated the kinetic energy of the human body. A strange guess became clear in Erin's heart.

Are you kidding me?

No wonder this guy behaves so arrogantly... The reason is that the "Blood Clown", who has gained a reputation for being a vicious person in the past few years, is still a child who has not yet grown up!

And, from the cry...it seems to be a girl?

With a strange mood, Irene raised her hand, and carefully opened the leather case of this lifelike "youth" with a magic knife, for fear of hurting the person under the leather case.

Like a miracle hatched from an eggshell, when Irene peeled off all the disguises of the "clown" and saw the little girl lying on the ground, she was greatly shocked.

About thirteen or fourteen years old, a girl with pale blond hair.

With icy skin and snow skin like a little princess, a pair of petite purple bone wings protruding from the girl's back, giving off an incredible smell all over her body.

With her eyes slightly closed, a sad look appeared on her pure and flawless face, and intermittent sobs were coming out of her mouth.

As if aware of Irene's gaze, the girl instinctively opened her eyes and looked back - her pair of ice blue eyes reflecting the orange-red sunset were filled with tears of grievance the moment she saw Irene , bit his pale lips, and turned away unwillingly.

Even though her naked body was exposed to the air, she didn't seem to notice it.

Unconsciously, the most real face named "Joker" was revealed in Irene's field of vision, and the whole body exuded a sense of tenderness and pity.

Erin was completely stunned.

No matter how rich Irene's imagination was, she couldn't connect the girl in her vision with the smirking face of the "clown".She also couldn't imagine that the girl who was defeated by herself and fell into tears had committed the cruel and terrifying deeds in the rumors.

This huge reversal caused Erin, who was kneeling next to the girl, to go blank.

As the last twilight gradually dissipated, I don't know how long it took before Irene asked a random question: "Naru...isn't your real name?"

Unexpectedly, the girl actually answered her question: "The real name is Luna Desmira."

However, judging from that resentful expression, the girl obviously still has a lot of hatred for Irene.

Irene was taken aback for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Hey, why did you tell me?"

"My clan is one of the seven garrisons of the demon clan. The duty of the clansmen is to be in charge of the pillar of 'true evil'. It is not allowed to violate the duty when the true face is exposed, so I can't lie to anyone." Suddenly, the girl named Luna stared at Irene viciously, and said, "However, now my secret has been exposed, if you dare to ask one more question, I will definitely fight you forever and never break my promise."

Chapter 14 Secret meeting and combat arrangements

Saier City, the secret meeting place of the Guild Alliance.

Although there were some mistakes in the middle, the development of things finally returned to the right track.

The representative of the League of Assassins, "Blood Clown", a demon girl whose real name is Luna Desmuela, was covered in black robes all over her body. After showing her badge to identify herself, she sat in a corner without saying a word. .

The second lady of Anhill Firm, Janet Adelaide, the woman in green who appeared just now, sat beside Luna.She seemed to know something, and she came forward to prove the identity of the "clown".

In addition, there are four men who participated in the meeting at the round table.

The middle-aged man with a burly figure is called Barlow Bird, the president of the mercenary union; Teresa, who I met once during the day and pulled Irene and Sisyana into the group, is wearing a quaint Robe, sitting on top of Barlow; facing the old mage is a handsome young man who calls himself a "troubadour". He is the vice president of the treasure hunting guild. All-rounder for any fight.

The middle-aged man in military uniform sitting on the main seat is called Osmund Wycliffe. He is the lord of Sail City and the convener of the operation at this time.

Before the meeting started, Sisyana stood up and revealed her identity. Except for the old fox Teresa who seemed to have expected it, everyone present took a deep breath.

Osmund Wycliffe stood up, saluted the noble girl who showed her true face, and then asked, "Why did you agree to participate in our operation, the distinguished guest from Ruolin?"

Sisyana's answer was very simple and clear: "I hope to get more bargaining chips to deal with Wakabayashi's current situation."

Osmond pondered for a while, but did not give an immediate response, but said vaguely: "Thank you again for your help, Your Royal Highness. After this time, I will send an additional gift to Your Highness. A long-lasting friendship is guaranteed."

"I'm looking forward to it." Sisyana said with a smile.

Fortunately, this famous princess is a reasonable person, and Osmond secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then directly entered the main topic of the meeting: "This plan is divided into two parts, one is to send people to the alchemy workshop in Dresberg Please go back to our little duke, I have sent someone I trust to do this; the second is to collect evidence against the housekeeper before he returns, to overthrow her power, and welcome the little duke to rule after his return."

"The Troubadour" asked aloud, "Does the little duke know about our plan?"
