Miss White Wolf felt as if her heart was split into two, one half was anxious and the other half was trying hard to analyze the situation. She clearly understood one thing for sure - Miss Platinum was in danger.
A voice in her head called out to her urgently:
Don't be anxious, think about Bingshi and the current situation of the company. You must be rational and sensible, and never act rashly.
That's right, but Miss Platinum can't have any problems, she thought, taking out the Originium Art Gloves and putting them on quickly.
The cooperation with Kalan Trade is something you have been planning for a long time, and you cannot let your previous efforts go to waste.
That's right, but Miss Platinum can't go wrong, she thought, while taking out the ceremonial sword that had been placed in the corner and hanging it around her waist.
No matter what, you have to stay calm and don't let the anger you see cloud your brain. Misunderstandings and tragedies are sometimes inevitable.
I am very calm now, she thought, and she even had the energy to close the door.
She went out the door.
The last time she touched the door, she inadvertently left a burn mark as black as ink.
Chapter 2023 Prey05-19-12 00:02:
As a high-level assassin who has walked on the line between life and death countless times, Bai Jin possesses an extremely sensitive intuition of life and death.
When her mind shifted slightly away from Miss White Wolf, she suddenly realized that she was being watched by the most dangerous enemy and was in a precarious situation, like a prey waiting to be killed at any time in the jungle.
She could not infer the identity of the enemy, but could only sense the terrifying murderous intent that was almost tangible. It was the total crushing of a high-level ruthless hunter over an inferior. Ordinary people would lose all their strength just by being in such an environment.
In order to avoid attracting attention, she did not bring her bow and arrow when she went out, but only took a dagger close to her body to prepare for unexpected events. In fact, she felt that it would be meaningless even if she was fully armed.
Will it affect White Wolf? She thought to herself. This was also her first subconscious thought after she knew the enemy. No matter what the result was, she didn't want Miss White Wolf to be affected.
She maintained her current posture, lowered her head and sent a message to Miss White Wolf, then calmly deleted the other party's message. In order not to attract the attention of the stalker, she planned to destroy the phone at the last minute.
She was very clear about her current situation. Before the prey made any unusual movements, the hunter might continue to wait for a while, but if she wanted to act rashly, she might die in the next moment.
The identity of the enemy is unknown, which is not important. It is enough to know that the other party has murderous intentions and is strong enough to pose a fatal threat to Miss White Wolf.
She wanted to take this unknown danger away, the farther the better.
What's so regretful?
One day, the assassin died in an unknown corner. Isn't this the natural ending? Isn't this their destined death? Even so, the sins on their hands can no longer be redeemed. Haven't I seen through it and accepted it by default?
What is there to be afraid of?
She was just a despicable assassin from the No-Heir Alliance. Her departure could even cleanse the stain on Miss White Wolf. What qualifications did she have to follow someone like Miss White Wolf?
But why do I feel so very sad?
She had long been prepared to die, but she had not imagined that death would be accompanied by such deep regret and grief.
Since when did she become afraid of death? Isn't this what ordinary people call cowardly behavior? Can giving up the title of Platinum Throne bring about such a big change in a person?
Or maybe, what she was afraid of was not death, but the fact that she would never see Miss White Wolf again. Why didn't she say goodbye properly?
Saying goodbye was of course wishful thinking. She could not have predicted what would happen next, just like the people who died in the accident, who were still planning for the future with great expectations the moment before.
What would happen when Miss White Wolf found out that he could no longer wait for her? Would he be so anxious that he couldn't sleep? Would he cry for her? Fortunately, she hadn't told White Wolf that she was going to Bingshi, otherwise, how sad he would be...
Her thoughts were in a mess, changing every second:
If I had sent a message to Miss White Wolf to warn her, and then ran to the board of directors to join forces with her, would it be possible to defeat the unknown enemy behind me? Wouldn't that be a better and more rational thing to do?
If time could go back and you could do it again, what would you choose?
The result will still be the same, she thought.
Because I couldn't be rational, I couldn't make the 'right' decision. When I chose to move forward just now, I didn't think at all, I just did it subconsciously.
How could it not be so?
When you know that there is a terrible enemy behind you, and when you deeply understand the threat posed by this enemy, can you still decide to bring this danger to the person you love most?
Calmly leading away predators and natural enemies is an instinctive reaction that all small forest animals can make when protecting their young.
……
Jian soon realized that the two were moving towards an area with less traffic, and she guessed that the assassin from the Wuzhou League had discovered her.
She did not rush to take action. It was beneficial for her to handle things in a deserted place. At least it could prevent the citizens from being frightened. Since Lord Platinum intended to do so, she was happy to follow suit.
Of course, she had thought that the other party might be intentionally leading her into a trap, but to be honest, if there really was a so-called trap, she would be more interested.
She hadn't encountered an opponent of sufficient strength for a long time. The high-level assassins of the Wuzhou League could only kill her when she was completely defenseless. And judging from her current condition, unless there were two Xuantie masters waiting in front of her, otherwise, even a trap would be meaningless.
That being said, if there were two Xuantie on the scene, how could they be her opponent in a head-on confrontation? Don't forget, this is not Casimir, but Kjerag's home ground, and the assassins can't cause any trouble here.
She followed Bai Jin and turned into an empty construction planning zone. Since new buildings were being built every day in Kalan City, there were many construction areas like this that were planned but not yet started.
The construction zone is very quiet. Apart from the pre-placed high and low stone slabs, cement, scaffolding and other building materials, there is no one in sight. It is indeed a good place to solve special problems.
For Platinum, the reason for coming here is simple.
She didn't want the upcoming life-and-death fight to affect other people. She had always hated the attitude of the members of the No-Heroes Alliance who didn't care about ordinary people during missions. Since she decided to follow Miss White Wolf, this hatred has further become a principled insistence.
If there was any other reason, it was probably that she had prepared for the worst. She didn't want her bad news to reach the ears of White Wolf. Only in a place like this could she disappear silently after trying her best.
Yes, even though she knew she was bound to lose and that she only had a dagger, she would use up every last bit of her strength. Even at this moment, she still wanted to defeat the enemy. Only in this way could she go back to her Miss White Wolf and tell her that she had finished her work.
She held the dagger in her hand backwards, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the mysterious pursuer.
"Black Knight?" Almost instantly, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"You are surprised, the new Platinum Lord." Mace drew out his sword and said coldly, "The Black Knight is a thing of the past, but I will never forget what you did to me."
The throne of Platinum is also a thing of the past, Platinum thought.
She lowered her head, her eyes flickering, she knew about the shameful conspiracy of the Helmetless Alliance against the Black Knights, although she did not directly participate in it, she also took on the task of an assistant.
Therefore, she understood that the other party's revenge was reasonable, but she also knew more deeply what a desperate opponent this was.
Chapter 2023: Crushing 05-20-12 00:03:
Bai Jin and Jian were both men of few words. They understood that the ensuing battle was inevitable, so they drew their weapons almost at the same time and entered a standoff.
Bai Jin stared at the enemy intently, while his eyes kept scanning the surrounding buildings.
Metal scaffolding and stacked concrete slabs can be used to deal with the enemy, and then she can find a way to attack. Attacking from the back is her only chance to win.
Jian drew his sword, concentrated his energy, and walked towards the opponent with extreme caution.
She was very confident, but she would never underestimate the enemy. She knew that every high-level assassin of the No Helmet Alliance had some outstanding ability, and she didn't know much about the new Platinum, so she had no idea what the other party's best ability was.
Besides this, what made her hesitate to act rashly was the other party's behavior.
Is the other party really a high-level assassin who is alone?
On the surface, yes, but if that were true, many things would totally make no sense.
Because what the Casimir Assassin is best at is hiding in the noisy and bustling city. It is not only convenient for hiding, but also can create chaos and make the enemy afraid to act rashly.
When she was tracking the opponent before, she didn't rush to take action. One of the reasons was that she was worried about hurting civilians. Although she was 100% sure that she could defeat the opponent, she could not completely guard against the backlash of a high-level assassin's desperate counterattack.
The assassin's ability is born for killing, and the lives of the civilians in the city, those devout pilgrims who came for the ceremony, their lives in front of the high-level assassins are like tender grass under a sickle and can be easily harvested.
It is true that she is the bodyguard of President SilverAsh, but she also has the obligation to protect the civilians of Kalan City. Therefore, the other party is fully capable of causing trouble for her.
However, after discovering her, Platinum Throne quietly led her here, thus giving up his greatest advantage.
It would be fine if there really was a trap, but after her observation, the traps and ambushes that she had imagined did not exist. What was even more strange was that the other party had taken out a dagger and took the initiative to prepare for a head-on battle.
Generally speaking, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Even the Black Iron Lord didn't dare to do this, who exactly is this new Platinum Lord? Is he the new genius of the Wu Zhou Alliance?
There is still a possibility. Judging from the appearance characteristics, the other party is most likely related to the elite branch "Tianma" in Kuranta. They are the descendants of the legendary gods and are rare and powerful in the entire Casimir.
Unfortunately, in the past two years, she has been focusing on Kjerag and has paid little attention to Casimir, let alone the Helmetless Alliance, and she doesn't know the other party at all.
For a moment, Jian considered whether to replace the long sword with her usual weapon, but she quickly decided not to do so. It was not like she had never fought with Silver Spear Pegasus before, and it seemed to be just like that. She decided to test it with the long sword first.
In fact, when the brain just thought of this, the long sword of the mace had already been struck.
From Bai Jin's perspective, she felt that the opponent's momentum suddenly changed, and he appeared in front of her almost instantly. The long sword, with severe wind pressure, slashed towards her abdomen.
Bai Jin touched the ground with his toes and jumped onto the gray-blue stone slab. Before he could stand firmly, he moved again, spun around and jumped onto a two-story high steel support. At the same time, there was a loud roar from the stone slab behind him. It had been cracked in the middle by a direct blow from a terrifying brute force.
Bai Jin turned around on the support, trying to find an opportunity to attack, but all she saw was a black sword beam that had cut in front of her at some point in time. In the crisis, she immediately let go and let her body fall freely.
A strand of long hair floated in the air due to the fall, and was directly shredded by the destructive sword light, turning into a bunch of white fragments that swirled with the sword wind.
The mace leapt above, and the blade faced the falling platinum, slashing down coldly.
Bai Jin used his toes to hook the iron frame in front of him on the left in the air, used the force to rotate his body, and planned to jump somewhere else to avoid it.
However, there was a sudden violent vibration on the bracket. It turned out that Jian realized that he could not chop the target, so he shook his wrist decisively, and the long sword hit the steel bracket hard, instantly causing the more than ten-meter-long steel dragon to tremble.
Bai Jin's feet were numbed by the force and she secretly groaned in her heart. She had been thinking that it was a pity that she only had a dagger and no bow and arrow, but now it seemed that it was completely useless to bring a bow and arrow. Under this kind of attack, she had no chance to draw the bow at all.
She pushed hard against the shaky support, using the rebound force to increase the distance between herself and the Black Knight as much as possible. At the same time, she adjusted the angle in the air, inserted the dagger into the ground, and stabilized her body.
On the other hand, Jian felt a little surprised. The new Platinum in front of her seemed too weak. She only made two tentative attacks, and the opponent seemed to have no ability to fight back. Is this really the Platinum Throne?
But memory cannot be false. She had seen the other person with her own eyes in Casimir, but they had never fought. This Kuranta man was the real Platinum King.
Since the Wu Zhou Alliance has appointed the other party as the new Platinum, it means that he must have some extremely powerful ability. It seems that the other party deliberately chose to hide. Is he planning to find an opportunity to use that ability to take her life?
Jian's eyes became increasingly colder, and she certainly would not give the enemy such an opportunity.
In fact, the idea of the mace is not wrong. Platinum does have her own unique abilities. She is the only sniper in the Wuzhan Alliance who can search for enemies thousands of meters away and pierce the enemy with a bow and arrow.
It's a pity that in the current situation, this ability is of no use at all.
The pitch-black blade attacked again, not giving Platinum a chance to breathe. Platinum used the stacked thick wooden boards to sidestep the sword.
The Black Knight clenched his left fist and slammed hard on the wooden board that separated the two of them. The iron fist pierced through it instantly and hit Platinum's chest with flying wood chips.
Bai Jin did not expect this and hurriedly took out a dagger to block. However, she heard a crisp sound, the dagger broke, and she was blown away by a terrifying force.
This powerful force caused Platinum's arms to go numb and limp, and he temporarily lost the ability to move. He had no way of evading the attack, and could only use his body's memory from facing crises over the years to slightly adjust his direction in the crisis and let himself crash into the sand used for construction to reduce the physical damage caused.
At the same time as she crashed into the sand pile, the black knight had already stabbed at her with his icy sword.
It’s over.
Gray despair lingered in her heart. She had tried her best, but there was no chance of winning. Perhaps she could only accept the fate that was supposed to belong to her.
Her eyes were dim and she let herself crash into the sand. The huge force of the impact caused the soft sand to leave bloodstains on her body.
However, the expected attack did not come.
Bai Jin raised her head in confusion. She saw the Black Knight holding a sword in his right hand and touching the mace at his waist with his left hand. He frowned and stared at the void in front of him as if facing a great enemy.
Chapter 2023 Confrontation 05-21-12 24:29:
The impact on the sand wasn't serious, but it did cause Platinum to fall dizzy, and it took her brain a while to realize what had happened.
The void that the Black Knight was staring at was not just void, but strangely distorted air, as if it was burned by colorless flames.
The heat wave hit, and although it was winter in Kjerag, the snow hiding in the corners was melting rapidly.
A solitary, slender and familiar figure slowly walked into Bai Jin's field of vision.
Just by the sound of footsteps, Bai Jin could recognize the person. She opened her mouth and silently called out the other person's name. Suddenly, tears poured out uncontrollably. She covered her cheeks with both hands and tried to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Why are you here?
It's great that you're here.
Bai Lang glanced at Miss Platinum, who was covered in blood, and silently drew out his sword without saying a word.
At this moment, her scabbard had turned red due to excessive Originium skills, but it didn't matter. The noble sword made by the late Emperor Ursus for the Duke of the Empire was made of the same priceless material from the sword to the scabbard, which could support her unintentional action.
She threw the scabbard casually, and the red scabbard sank into the ground with a hissing sound, and then quickly turned into its original mithril color due to the loss of source energy support.
At the same time, the flames in the air twisted and expanded geometrically, so that the mace could not see the enemy's face and could only recognize a Lupert.
For her, this was the first time she had seen such a powerful and dangerous spellcaster.
Mace was born in the kingdom of magic - Letania. Due to the influence of the Witch King, people were proud of magic. The tragedy of her childhood came from the fact that she was a "Letanian defective product" who could not cast magic.
Later, she used her double maces to silence all her doubters. Although she did not know magic, she was extremely good at dealing with spellcasters.
