Chapter 3172 Continuous Assassinations

Just when the atmosphere was tense, the guard leading the way quickly stood in the middle and smoothed things over: "Your Excellency did not require you to surrender your weapons, and..."

He lay down next to his companion and whispered in his ear.

I saw the expressions of the guards blocking the road change again and again, and finally, with solemn expressions, they quickly left with full vigilance.

I knew without guessing that he must have told some of my stories.

But I don't care.

Under the guidance of the guards, we saw the city lord again. He was still as round and shiny, and the oil on his face was still shining.

The city lord smiled and asked: "Your Excellency, why are you looking for me?"

I glanced at the guard and saw that he had no intention of retreating, and the city lord had no intention of letting him leave, so I no longer avoided him and said bluntly: "We plan to leave the city."

"Leave the city? No, no, no, this matter is not easy to handle." The city lord smiled and said: "You should know that not long ago, an assassin assassinated a noble. Oh, of course, I am not referring to you, but to someone else. The case is currently pending. To no avail, the nobles are panicking. In order to stabilize the town, I can only force you to wait any longer."

"Okay then" I said, "Give me a deadline."

"It's hard to give a time limit." The city lord said, "Who knows where the cunning murderer is hiding. If you can't catch it in one day, you will have to wait for another day. When the murderer is caught and brought to justice, when will he let you go? Out of town."

"This is going to be difficult." I frowned slightly and said, "I have something urgent to do."

"I understand your feelings, but I'm sorry that I can't do anything." The city lord shrugged and said, "I have to ensure the safety of the town and the interests of the nobles first."

"Oh, oh, that's so unfortunate." I suddenly frowned, shook my head, and sighed.

The mellow city lord thought I was pretending, so he asked with a smile: "If you have any problems, can you tell me? What if I can help solve it?"

"I'm afraid you can't solve this problem of mine."

Hearing this, the city lord narrowed his eyes and said, "Huh? Let's talk about it."

"Actually, it's not that I can't tell you, but even if I tell you, there's really nothing you can do."

"Haha, if you don't tell me, how do you know I can't do anything?"

"Okay, okay." I shook my head, pretending to be helpless, and said, "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you sincerely."

"Actually, my matter is related to the person above."

As I spoke, I raised my index finger and pointed at the roof.

"Above?" The city lord raised his head and pondered for a moment. His expression suddenly changed drastically, and he took a breath of cold air and said, "You mean the apostle?"

Smiling and nodding, I said, "Yes, that's the apostle."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Half a minute later, the city lord smiled, his smile full of teasing.

"If your expression could be more serious, I might believe you."

I also laughed: "So, you don't believe it?"

"If it is a certain noble, or even a city lord who is on the same level as me, I will believe it. After all, you are an outstanding adventurer, and you are young and promising." City Lord Yuanrun said: "But it is a pity. You said that you and the apostle I can’t believe it.”

"What is the apostle? Huh? That is the supreme ruler of the demon world, the god of the demon world!" City Lord Yuanrun sneered: "Gods are for worship, not for use. If today's incident is spread, , you won’t be able to see the sun the next day!”

"Young man" City Lord Yuanrun took a breath and said in a slightly slower tone: "You are very talented in becoming an adventurer. I advise you to be a good adventurer. It is best to abandon unrealistic illusions and devote yourself to the real world." Where your strength lies, this is the right path.”

After watching the 'performance' of City Lord Yuanrun, I also sighed, shook my head, and said: "You still don't believe it, forget it, we will go back first. If possible, I hope you can agree when I come to visit again in a few days. Let us out of the city."

"Slow down." The city lord sneered and said, "I won't send you off."

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the Blue Witch asked me: "How long will we stay here?"

"Two or three days at most," I said, "Counting the time, Heloise and the others should be here soon."

"You still expect that woman!"

The blue witch said angrily: "She abandoned you!"

"I just want to use her strength to leave this town," I said, "Besides, there is no relationship between me and her in which one abandons the other. After all, my relationship with her is not close, unlike mine. and you."

After hearing the last sentence, the blue witch felt a little better, and the hand holding Tuotuo no longer tightened, but gently rubbed Tuotuo's down.

On the way back to the hotel, we encountered several more assassinations, but they were all small-scale, individual actions, and we were easily taken down.

That night, another assassin sneaked into our room and was killed by the blue witch's magic before reaching the end of the bed.

After killing two waves in succession, they finally stopped.

But look at the time, it's already early morning.

At noon the next day, the Blue Witch sat up from the bed feebly. Her cheeks were bulging and she was sulking.

"Ahhhhhh!" When she saw me coming out of the shower, she yelled like she had collapsed: "I've had enough! Why don't you even let me have a good night's sleep!"

"Hey, don't be like this, okay?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I pinched her cheek gently: "If this happens again tonight, I won't be polite anymore."

"Yes! You shouldn't have been polite so early in the morning!" The Blue Witch said angrily: "You should kill them all! All of them!"

"Don't get too angry," I comforted with a smile, "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

As soon as she heard about cooking, the Blue Witch suddenly became quiet: "Yeah."

We went into the kitchen, made brunch, had a full meal, and took a short rest. Then we went downstairs and wandered around the street.

In the past, the reason why I didn't wander around was to avoid the adventurers from various organizations who were fighting each other, but now the situation was different. Being among the fighting adventurers could also reduce the number of sneak attacks by assassins to a certain extent.

However, it also increases the risk of assassins being hit by sneak attacks.

I'm not afraid. I'm immune to toxins and have strong self-healing abilities, but Blue Witch and Tuo Tuo are not safe.

So while walking hand in hand, I had to pay attention to assassins who might appear.

After walking around for a full hour, they encountered a wave of assassins.

The assassins were well concealed, but unfortunately I was stronger than them and had sharper insights, which directly led to the complete failure of their sneak attacks.

From yesterday to today, at least fifty or sixty assassins have died. If it weren't for the large number of people in the town, I would be worried that if the killings continued like this, all the assassin organizations in this town would be wiped out.
