MTL - Morning of Swordsman Tower-Chapter 202
In this way, even Margaret had to "thank" Roy, the blue-gold killer.
"I really didn't bluff you, Monique, don't you believe my eyesight? That's really the ghost of Platinum Cinderella, and she even turned around and said lip-synch to me!"
"...Are you stupid? I didn't say that I don't believe it's Cinderella. Are there not many people in our profession who feign death to escape? But ghosts are too ridiculous. You haven't seen a magic show, have you? ? Exquisite and strange techniques, and the proper cooperation of others can achieve seemingly impossible effects."
Monique is now starting to wonder if the former Platinum was deliberately killed by Roy. Usually, when he was caught fishing, he never panicked, and even dared to smile. He was not at all when it was time to kill. Soft hands, how could a platinum position scare him like this?
"You just didn't see her with your own eyes! Pure magic or projections won't give me that cold feeling, just like..."
"It's like being controlled by fear, isn't it!? Didn't the intelligence say that there was a foreign knight named "Nightmare" who came to Casimir to compete not long ago, and his skill is to manipulate people's inner fear! Don't you think so? Are you lazy and didn’t read the mission briefing again!?”
"No, I didn't mean that..."
Roy couldn't explain it clearly to Monique, but was gradually persuaded by Monique's clear arguments. After all, according to common sense, if there is any ghost, it must be Roy's ten-year green gold career. The target of death, or the Platinum predecessors of Xintraiya should be the first.
Could it be that just because Xinteliya is the youngest Platinum in the history of the Wuxi League, does she have the privilege of jumping in the queue and being the first to be a ghost?
"Yes, you are right. I was probably confused by some skill. In addition to the Nightmare Knight, the Candle Knight must also have a problem. At that time, Xinteliya turned her back to me and said something to her. From her time Judging by the look on her face, it must be very important, but she didn't explain it to us!"
It was rare for Roy to bring up some enthusiasm for work this time, as if he had just woken up from a dream and changed into a new pair of underwear, his thoughts suddenly became clear, but he didn't know that the ghost-type skill "Grudge" that was applied to him before just failed at this point That's all.
----------------------------------------------
"The souls of the "Soul of Babel", could it be that... this is really an assassin organization that transcends death? "
Using the reason that she had just been attacked, Candle Knight Viviana directly rejected the invitation to attend the dinner, returned to the Sanhua Knights resident she led, locked the door and sat alone at the table in her room, Look through a notebook I once used to record poetic inspiration.
And on one of the pages, it was the big characters "Soul of the Tower of Babel" that she had written a few months ago.
Princess Sophie, the princess of Grand Duke Letania Karl, was brutally murdered by an assassin who claimed to be from the "Soul of Babel". Grand Duke Karl himself seemed to have a mental breakdown due to the murder of the assassin and became insane. The Grand Duke was also passed on his young son.
This anecdote that was circulated in the noble circle of Letania was how Viviana first learned about the "Soul of Babel Tower". It was just a rumor released by the Grand Duke's political opponents to deceive others.
Because Viviana has also done some research on this, not to avenge Grand Duke Karl, anyway, as far as she knows, the Grand Duke and her Grand Duchess did not do any good things in order to fight for power, so she just wants to know Does this legendary-sounding name have real historical origins?
But in the end she learned that the only thing that could be related to the words in the "Spirit of Babel" was a "rebel" force that failed in the Kazdel Civil War.
Later, Viviana also heard a gossip from her old classmate who was a teaching assistant in the Originium Department of Leitania College of Higher Education, saying that these "remnants of the rebels" had to escape from Kazdel after their failure, and she was disheartened. With a cold heart, I started to do medical research related to Originium...
"Wait! Origin Stone Medicine!? Could it be..."
Chapter 564 Kei: I got up, it took me a second to shoot, what can I say?
I'm afraid that even Jogo couldn't have expected this kind of thing. He once licked Laplande's whole body with his wolf tongue... Cough, the foreshadowing planted on a whim when he became the unspeakable person will suddenly appear in Casimir's Candle Knight Recycle here.
Although the element of coincidence cannot be ignored, Leitania's rich higher education and academic resources, Rhodes Island's gradually emerging reputation in the top field of Originium research, and Candle Knight's own yearning and pursuit of poetic legend and romance also contributed to this. The main reason for the eventual convergence of the two.
But this is not important to Rhodes Island's plan at this stage, the important thing is still... our Platinum Man!
"So you still haven't caught that assassin?"
The person who was standing in front of Roy at this time to inquire about the progress was the spokesperson McGee. Although he was not the directors usually designated by the federation to communicate with the Wuxia League, it was related to the Candle Knight he was in charge of. , there is nothing wrong with letting McGee temporarily replace the contact.
"Sorry, Mr. Spokesperson, the other party is obviously highly skilled and well-prepared, and no effective investigation traces can be found at the scene, unless..."
Roy made a long sound on purpose, and McGee understood it as soon as he heard it. It meant that it would be impossible for him to report to the Federation to allow the Unarmored Alliance to search and even interrogate Candle Knight.
Apart from his little selfishness, Candle Knight is still a victim after all on the surface, and taking coercive measures against her caused diplomatic incidents, which made the group of Letanian nobles feel that their class was insulted, and angrily decided to direct the business between the two parties directly. Falling through is the big deal.
"There is no need to ask more questions. The directors of the federation will naturally make their own decisions. Please continue to stick to your posts and make sure that no mistakes will be made."
Hearing McGee's reply of evasiveness, Roy, who knew that he had successfully pushed the scapegoat down this time, also smiled. Originally, the sentry of the Wuzhou League was breached by an unknown assassin, and he and Monique must be held accountable. On the contrary, it now defaults to the main responsibility of Candle Knight's internal and external cooperation.
"Of course, Mr. Spokesperson, my colleague has already led her third team to strengthen the sentry staff, and I will lead the cleaning team to actively search for suspicious targets, and I promise that no one will be confused..."
Boom!
Before Roy's sworn promise was finished, an arrow made of black "frost" suddenly passed the tip of his nose just a distance away from the bottle cap. Buried in the wall beside him.
"!?"
Both of them were taken aback, not only because the assassin directly ignored the sentry circle that Roy had promised just now, but also because they were at a multi-layered corner, which meant that apart from the surrounding Outside of several layers of walls, there are no windows at all for arrows to shoot in.
So they all looked at the direction where the arrows were flying. The layers of butter pierced by the red steel needle roasted on the fire are so smooth and smooth.
It means that if you happen to be the same height as Roy, you can directly see the night scene outside the walls of several floors from the hole here.
…
Nima's! Did she blindly spy on me through several solid walls? ? ?
Someone cheated, comrade! Does anyone care about the competitive balance of this garbage game? !
Roy was completely dumbfounded, but driven by a mysterious (you) mysterious (ling) force (ji) (neng) force (neng), he foolishly moved his eyes towards the hole, and then activated Pegasus Vision.
I saw a white and evil smile that was three parts cold, three parts sneering, and four parts indifferent appeared in the center of his field of vision instantly, which made Roy's heart as if tightly held by a knight with wrists. Undead—Who else could there be in Syntralia?
I saw Xintraya immediately raised a strange red and gold longbow decorated with dragon patterns towards his left hand, twisted the bowstring with his right hand, a black "cold air" wafted from his fingers, and then instantly condensed a black "Frost Arrow" took it up.
"…run!"
Roy woke up in an instant, and immediately yelled to remind the spokesman McGee to stay away from here. Although being able to see Xintleia with the Pegasus vision means that Roy can also reach the opponent, but the available shooting range It's just the small hole in front of him that was shot through by the opponent, he doesn't have the ability to penetrate the wall.
Facts have proved that Roy's judgment was correct, and he announced the critical situation to McGee in time, but it was useless, because Platinum on the opposite side didn't care about the spokesman of Rao Shizi, and the old lady shot you today!
Through the real-time report from the ghost balloon hidden somewhere, several black "ice arrows" composed of pure armed color energy shot one after another as if there was nothing on the cover wall.
Although the sense of crisis in Roy's heart was the same as that of the marsh gas alarm, the loud bangs kept going, but because of the lack of vision outside the wall, he couldn't even predict the attack point, so he could only roll like a rabbit right away. Start blinding the jaguar to hide.
As a result, only three seconds later, he was so embarrassed that he immediately received arrows in his arm, waist and buttocks, and fell to the ground on the spot with a "head" face. His life can make him feel the greatest humiliation and pain.
But Roy is a veteran assassin with ten years of experience in green gold. He immediately realized that this was platinum showing off his skills and deliberately torturing him. He might not be able to save himself by hiding alone. Maybe it will be his turn at any time. , horse lazy and carbine.
So he took out the communicator with difficulty and started calling Monique.
"Hmph, ah! Mo, Monique!"
"Roy, what's wrong with you? Why does the voice sound so, uh..."
Monique's cat nose suddenly smelled a "phantom stink" that came from nowhere, but she, who was always serious and responsible for her work, still didn't say such inappropriate words to Roy.
"Monique! Xinteliya is sniping me, this time it is definitely a real person! But I have been seriously injured, and now I will temporarily hand over my cleaning team to Chief Platinum, and you will be in charge. Be sure to go to Jiang Xin Traya kills! Her position is XXX, be careful of her..."
…
Monique looked suspiciously at the communicator that had been hung up by Roy, and she didn't understand why this guy who claimed to be seriously injured could still speak so nonchalantly, but he didn't know that Roy was just " "Prejudged" that he would be seriously injured.
However, according to Monique's previous cooperation experience with Roy, although this guy took advantage of the opportunity, he still didn't dare to mess around with important tasks, so Monique immediately asked the cleaning team and her own third team The order was conveyed, and of course the current Platinum Chief who had served as the team leader of his own team was also notified.
It was a pink-haired Kuranta woman who seemed to have an inexplicable relationship with Monique. Her salary level had surpassed that of Platinum when she was the leader of the third team, and now it is only lower than that of Green Gold. It's just worse than that level of treatment.
Of course, she didn't rely entirely on Monique's nepotism to promote her. An important indicator of being a platinum is the Pegasus Sight and its matching range and accuracy.
As a film, Monique, although unable to learn the sight of the Pegasus, she also has an advantage that the Pegasus can't match, that is, super mobility and night vision in street fighting in complex terrain. Whenever Kasimir's night falls, It was the opening ceremony where Monique declared invincibility.
So even if this is to catch "ghosts", she still feels very stable.
Chapter 565 I Finally Forgive Once, But You Make Me Lose So Completely, Zhuo!
However, after all, the enemy is suspected to be the former platinum leader of the Wuxu League. If it is really Xinteliya, she must know the common tactics of the Wuxu League very well, so Monique did not think that he could easily win the opponent, but was very Carefully prepare for long-term tracking.
Just when Monique was about to arrive at the target location, thinking that she was about to start releasing the felines at night... no, it was the hunting instinct, but she was shocked to find under the moonlight that Platinum, who she thought should have fled early, was still alive. Still staying on top of the building Roy told about.
She didn't even lift the red and gold bow in her hand, she just let it fall by her side, looked up at the night sky where only a few stars were still shining faintly against the brilliant lights of the big knight's collar, and looked He didn't notice the arrival of the killer of the Wuzhou League at all.
Moreover, the configuration of the third team plus the cleaning team is already the absolute backbone of the Wuzhou League, and there are Qingjin and Platinum leading the team. Except for Roy who failed to show up for some reason, this is already the Wuzhou League. It is the highest specification that the League can dispatch in regular missions, and it can be easily won even if it is hunting down a big knight-level target.
The so-called unconventional missions are the situation where black iron comes into play, and the hunting targets are usually unconventional, such as a knight with a big wrist, or someone from Rhodes Island who never pulls out. But Jian can directly scare Qingjin's big sister doctor away with his aura.
"That turned out to be Xintraiya... Is there really any support?"
Monique was also deeply impressed by Xinteliya, after all, she is the youngest platinum leader of the Wuzhen League, and she is also the person who most fits the literal positioning of "platinum", because her hair color and clothing are all pure white.
This is not a mandatory requirement of the Umbrellaless League. In theory, you only need to wear the same characteristics as the "Yellow Turbans" to quickly identify your identity in battle, such as the blue cloaks of Roy and Monique.
And Xintraya was born with pure white hair, white clothes and white robes are also a personal preference, and later she stood out by virtue of her record and strength, and the platinum position "just happened" at this time, so she was promoted to the platinum position as a matter of course , as if this position was born for her.
This even made Qingjin Roy very itchy. Looking at the natural blue hair of his colleague Qingjin Monique, he also ran to dye his black hair and ponytail blue.
"Mara, try it out, I'll cover you."
When the No-Hail Alliance team completely completed the blockade of Xinteliya, Monique ordered the pink-haired current platinum leader to make a tentative attack on her.
This is not Roy's push-the-pot tactics, it's just a normal practice to seduce the opponent's lurking staff. The observation and cover work must be done by Monique, who has excellent night vision ability.
Platinum Mara, who is "uncompromisingly loyal" to Monique and extremely trusting, naturally said nothing, and aimed at Xindreya's face with a bow and shot. For archers, this is the difference between ultimate moves and temptations.
The ultimate move is to aim at the left chest of the person, because the chest is easier to hit and it is difficult to dodge in time. Even if the heart is missed, the opponent will have difficulty moving because of the impaired lung breathing function. This is the same for gunsnipers .
The tentative aiming at the face is deliberately to attract the attention of the opponent, so that the target has to make large movements in order to dodge and block the attack. In a hurry, he will reveal his flaws or call for reinforcements.
Of course, if the target is really a dumb Jawi, it's easy to headshot directly.
However, in Monique's view, it is certainly impossible for Xinteliya, who can make Qingjin Roy "severely injured", to be Caibi, but the reality did not develop as she expected. When Platinum Mara's arrow When galloping towards the opponent, Xinteliya didn't move at all.
She was still looking up at the barren starry sky of the Grand Knight's Territory, with a focused look as if she was playing her favorite chess with the Moon Goddess, and she didn't seem to notice the arrows flying towards her below.
The deadly arrow is even approaching the front door. At such a short distance, even Monique, a Filin tribe, cannot complete the process of converting consciousness into nerve signals and then evading actions, let alone Xintlei of the Tianma tribe. ya.
Just when Monique thought it was just a holographic projection to deceive them, Xintraya's neck suddenly tilted slightly without warning, as if the natural soothing movement caused neck pain due to looking up for too long, but it just happened It caused the arrow to fly past her face by a hair's breadth, only taking away a few strands of pure white hair.
"Ah? It's you guys, long time no see, Your Excellency Qingjin Monique, do you still remember me?"
Xintreya greeted the members of the Unarmored League below as if she suddenly ran into an old friend while shopping. Blown hair.
"..."
Monique didn't respond to Xintraya's greetings, but the hairs all over her body exploded, her eyes were condensed into slender vertical pupils, and she didn't dare to leave Xinteliya's figure for a moment. Now she finally realized Roy's words What "You just didn't see her in person!" really means.
Even though the strange longbow hadn't even been raised, Monique felt that she had been firmly locked by the endless murderous intent from the other party. It felt like a helpless kitten whose head and tail were held down by a big hand .
Even if she forcibly ignores this idealistic sixth sense, based on Monique's combat experience alone, she can easily tell that it was no coincidence that the arrow failed to hit Xinteliya just now.
Seeing that Monique ignored her, Xintraya didn't intend to continue asking, but turned her head to look at the platinum Mara who was testing her just now. This action also made Mara tremble all over, and even her horse box Both Ma Huanxi and Ma Huanxi tensed up involuntarily.
On the other hand, Monique felt the pressure suddenly drop, as if something was released in an instant, and she felt relaxed.
"Mara, it turns out that you replaced me as the platinum leader. Well, this is not very unexpected. Compared with my hard life, you are the darling of the blue gold, and you may be able to break the platinum leader. As for the historical records, however, I have a question that I must ask clearly now.
What is your current monthly salary and how many days off? "
"?"
Platinum Mara never expected that Xintraya would ask herself such a question in this situation, so she had no psychological defenses, and her ability to resist pressure was far inferior to that of Monique. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help herself. Answered two very outrageous numbers.
Converting the specific level to Qiao Ge's hometown, it is probably using the class schedule of a fourth-year university student, and taking the executive salary of a fellow Antarctic company.
"..."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze, as if someone took advantage of it and placed a "Platinum Star·World".
Because Xintraya's salary at the beginning was only one-third of Platinum Mara's current salary, and her vacations were all based on voluntary leave, but most of the applications were rejected, so that she could submit seventeen or eight times a month. Apply for leave, just ask for one pass.
In fact, Rhodes Island’s current salary for Xinteliya is not even the level of her original platinum position. After all, she is just a combat operator, without any scientific research or medical technology, even if she gets a doctor’s promotion... Cough, anyway There will be no unfair treatment like Mara.
But Rhodes Island's unique employee benefits are unmatched by any other Terra organization, and no amount of money can be exchanged for it. More importantly, there is the warmth and affection she was longing for, rather than pretending to be business-like. ruthless exploitation.
"It's a done deal, you hangers...you're going to die!"
The originally lazy and casual eyes of Xinteliya finally changed, and a red light flashed in the corner of her eyes, and the background music called "Ascension" seemed to be playing on the street lit by the great knight.
That's right, it's the exclusive BGM of the night hunter Vayne playing boxing with the shadow.
Chapter 566 The reason you failed was because you offended my invincible Platinum Star!
Even though the penta-kill bgm of the night hunter Vayne did not actually sound, only the sniper position could feel that burst of murderous intent, as if someone had firmly locked in the key points. It was a real experience.
What Xinte Laiya will do soon is far more than five kills.
However, Monique is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After being frightened by this murderous intent, the first reaction of an ordinary Assassin of the Unarmored League is probably a rabbit rolling around and hiding behind the bunker, but the details Roy revealed to Monique have already let her know Sintraia's attacks have the ability to penetrate walls.
So she didn't dodge, but immediately shot the arrow in her hand towards Xintleyya, and at the same time quickly conveyed the order in the team channel.
"Attack all! Don't give her a chance!"
Apart from being particularly tolerant towards Platinum Mara, Monique is actually not an easy boss to get along with.
To put it simply, her critical old maid temper, coupled with her experience in the Victorian army, made her very strict with her subordinates, so that the members of the third team were very afraid of her, and even Platinum Xintleia had suffered Her mental torment.
On the contrary, Roy's cleaning team had a very comfortable life, because Roy hardly controlled them personally except for training their combat skills, and also proposed a head bounty mechanism, allowing them to kill the target during the mission and get extra rewards. The bounty can be taken, so it can be said that the "self-motivation" is very high.
So when they heard Monique's order, the fear of the boss even made the third team break free from the suppression of the killing intent in an instant, and immediately launched a volley at Xinteliya, while the cleaning team hesitated for a moment. , It is confirmed that the temptation of money is greater than the sense of crisis before launching an attack.
After all, it was just a mental illusion produced by ghost skills, not a domineering look, and Xinteliya didn't have that kind of kingly aptitude, but she still had a way to deal with the arrow rain that hit her face.
"Robin!"
A big balloon with cute pea-like eyes seemed to emerge from the void, wrapping around Xinteliya's waist with the four streamers-like body structure under it, and then disappeared instantly, until several rounds of When all the arrows fell through the air, it dragged Xinteliya back to the original place.
