The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 601 - 282: Assassination Successful

Green Forest City.

Castle.

A boy of eleven or twelve was training in a simple training ground inside the castle. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Wielding a wooden spear weapon in his hand, striking dummies in front, with trainers responsible for his training occasionally sparring with him.

He stopped just before noon.

Wiped the sweat off his forehead.

After resting for a while, he said: "This month’s courses are about to begin, I should go to the teacher."

At this time, a manservant standing by hurriedly said: "It’s been a bit unsafe lately, young master, how about staying after a while in the castle?"

This boy was the second child of the Green Forest City’s City Lord, a rather gifted child.

Once a month, he learns from an Elder Mage with experience teaching apprentices.

It’s a precious opportunity, even he has to cherish it.

His talent in magic exceeds the ordinary, more significantly, his leadership qualities have been apparent since childhood.

Upon hearing the manservant’s words, he furrowed his brow slightly.

He quickly figured out the source of danger.

Most likely from North Shore City, with whom they have strained relations recently; it’s said that his somewat reckless older brother ambushed and killed one of their Young City Lords.

Said to be exceptionally gifted, far surpassing him.

The reason is just for a fragment of the Stone of Creation.

He’s heard such legends and knows this thing indeed exists.

However, he doesn’t quite believe his brother would ambush someone since he knows his brother isn’t like that.

It’s clearly someone setting them up, or North Shore City couldn’t hold back any longer and wants to use this as an excuse to spark conflict.

Being a favored son by his father, he is naturally more mature than others his age.

Even born into the City Lord’s family, he hasn’t become arrogantly favored.

Faced with advice, he asked: "Did father tell me not to go out?"

The manservant shook his head slightly and explained: "Master just advised us to be extra cautious."

The boy understood with a slight nod.

"In that case, let’s forget about it. Arrange for me to take a bath."

"Yes."

The manservant excused himself.

On the edge of the training ground near the castle wall, amidst the cracks between the weeds.

A pair of sinister snake eyes quietly observed the entire training ground.

The venomous gaze fixed on the boy, not moving an inch.

An ordinary snake.

Not unusual in Green Forest City, as the city is surrounded by forest.

Yet this snake was clearly not just any ordinary venomous snake, it was Andorfar, who had gained Snake Power through wishing on a fragment.

He was following orders to come to this Green Forest City and kill the boy before him.

Before he arrived, he was puzzled why he had to kill this boy, instead of taking out the City Lord’s eldest son.

But through close observation over this period, he couldn’t help but admire this boy for having leadership qualities at such a young age.

Not at all like a boy or child, very rational.

He had to admit this boy was far better than his city’s three sons.

Well, now there are only two left.

In the next generation, Green Forest City, under the boy’s leadership, had a high chance to grow strong and prosperous.

Can’t delay any longer.

He had been tailing for quite some time, but still hadn’t found a chance to get the boy outside the castle.

Clearly, the other party knew of the danger as well.

But he wasn’t just observing this one target; he was observing the entire castle.

Clearly, the City Lord wasn’t sure which of his two children posed the greater threat.

Yet he chose to protect his second offspring more rationally.

The longer it dragged on, the more troublesome it became.

Looks like he could only resolve it inside the castle now.

Having gained imaginary power, Andorfar was extremely confident in his current strength.

Determined, he began planning in his mind immediately.

Relying on his small snake-like shape, he had already figured out the castle’s structure.

Soon, based on the current situation, he devised an assassination plan.

The chance of assassination would be 100%.

The swaying snake body moved through the grass.

A room in the castle.

At this moment, steam was swirling, a large wooden barrel bathtub stood in the room’s center.

Flower petals floated appropriately in the water.

Two decently looking maidservants were attending beside.

The boy was resting in the bathtub with his eyes closed, soothing the morning’s training fatigue.

Andorfar slipped in through the door gap.

He was increasingly pleased with the power he had obtained, the ability to transform into a small snake, making assassinations almost overly advantageous.

Moreover, this was power acquired by wishing.

The transformed small snake was almost no different from a normal small snake, difficult to be detected by ordinary scouting methods.

And here was the Liberty City Federation, a loose alliance formed by combined individual cities.

Each city was autonomous, like this castle’s ordinary magic prevention and scouting were already the limit.

Only in places like treasure vaults and secret chambers would there be stricter magical surveillance.

Upon obtaining this power, he had long verified various magic defense facilities that were once the enemy of every Assassin.

That was why he was so confident in this assassination.

In the steam-filled room, he was well hidden in the predetermined position.

Quietly waiting, seeking for the most appropriate moment.

The moment was about to arrive.

"I’m ready now."

The boy said, the two maids nodded, one picked up a towel to wipe, the other left the room.

Soon, she returned with a clean jacket.

"That’s it."

The two maids nodded and excused themselves.

The perfect moment arrived.

It was the moment Andorfar awaited.

The boy was dressed without any defense.

"Hiss~"

A piercing hissing sound.

Before he could fully react, he only felt something foreign on his neck.

Andorfar, transformed into a white snake, grew noticeably thicker and longer as it sprang up.

Sharp snake fangs effortlessly pierced the boy’s neck, ruthlessly pushing in, deadly venom directly injected into the bloodstream.

Yet, in this world of magic, venom wasn’t necessarily lethal.

The snake body squeezed tight.

In an instant, the boy collapsed to the ground, wanting to struggle and shout yet unable to utter any sound.

At the critical moment.

The boy’s right hand unleashed a tidbit of magic power, pressing it to his thigh.

That seemed to trigger some alarm mechanism.

In part of the castle.

A burly man in heavy armor wielding a Giant Axe sharply opened his eyes and looked directly in the boy’s direction.

Without hesitation, he swiftly pushed his leg.

The whole person burst through the ceiling like a meteor, crashing a big hole through the building’s roof.

Drawing an arc across the sky.
