Chapter 116 CXV Shadow Messenger
Chapter 116 CXV. Shadow Messenger
The Thieves Guild is very particular about killing people.
Killing with a strong front can only be called a reckless man. It is not suitable for the shady ratio of those who run casinos and turn out crooks. The main method is to use a small leverage to kill.
The top expert in the field of political assassination in the Thieves Guild is called the "Shadow Messenger". It is said that he is protected by the goddess of the night.
Just like every awesome organization in the Western Continent has mythical stories to endorse it, Diaz has been cultivating the corporate culture and found a rather bluffing evil god to endorse it.
This goddess of the night is not a serious god. She is also known as the Shadow Lady and the Unknowable. She is hidden and everywhere.
The shadow messenger kills people, and pays attention to the complete silence, sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.
To put it bluntly, it is Yang Ying’s figure, the BABY villain.
The endless darkness at sea and the cold abyss beneath our feet place a high psychological burden on people.
Even if this "Shadow Messenger" makes a small mistake, he will die without a burial place.
The man in black robe is currently clinging to the side wall of the ship with the claws of his gloves, and the portholes have very narrow sills, so there is no room for leverage.
But it doesn't matter.
The black-robed man's fingers were incredibly strong, and he could support his whole body with just one hand. Then he took out a shapeable high-strength wire from his clothes, put it in his mouth and curled it into an L shape.
He stretched the wire along the gap between the two windows to the inside, then turned the wire and slowly opened the latch of the window.
The wood on the sea expanded and deformed due to moisture, and there was a harsh and unpleasant squeaking sound when the doors and windows were opened and closed.
"who?"
A Lostra man noticed the movement here.
"Didn't you close the window?"
"Maybe it was blown open by the wind."
"This pirate ship is in this kind of environment. I'll close it."
The person responsible for transferring the dragon had just walked to the window.
This claw was as fast as lightning and silent, like the scythe of death passing through the netherworld. He had no idea what was happening, and he died in a daze.
The sharp blade on a finger suddenly penetrated the throat, as if nothing had been inserted. Immediately, all five fingers of the man in black disappeared, clamping the entire throat and blocking the air in the lungs.
It was too late, everything was completed in less than a tenth of a second.
The man in black robe had just distinguished the appearance and corresponding voices of these four people through observation.
Begins to imitate the voice of the deceased.
"There seems to be something on the sea surface. Is it a siren?"
The sound made by the man in black robe was exactly the same as that of the deceased, and it was impossible to tell the difference.
"Siren? Maybe you should have slept with those two prostitutes just now. They have been driving you crazy for so long."
The other person continued to come over to check on the situation. Just listen to the devil hunter's ghost stories.
Sirens are a kind of succubus that lives in the sea with human heads and fish bodies. They are all extremely beautiful and sing gracefully. They will lure people into the sea and eat them alive.
Still doing the same thing.
The strike was as fast as a ghost, and the other person who came to check also died suddenly under the claw blade.
Even though he is a man in black robe, he cannot control two corpses at the same time while supporting his body with one hand.
He turned over and jumped, broke through the window, and two corpses fell down.
The thin black figure was like an arc of light. Before he could fully react, he was already attacking one of them with dual-wielding daggers.
"What?"
The remaining two people instantly entered the fighting state, drew out the long sword made of magic material, and their killing intent surged.
How can the person who is designated to transfer the dragon be an ordinary person?
In a flash of lightning, a Lostra man took a step forward and struck out three swords in an instant, attacking the chest, abdomen and throat. The power was devastating, splitting gold and stone with great force, and as fast as a phantom.
The man in black robe was shocked, he had such strong adaptability.
The clang of gold and iron came.
The two daggers of the man in black robe had already bounced away, and his arm was almost scratched. He immediately retreated to the window.
He is the top master of the Thieves Guild.
Not to mention the elite personnel of Lostra, even the Sword King of Aram will kill you if he is unprepared.
The weapons of the man in black robe are too weird. He took out two sets of playing cards from his clothes and tried to use them a little more seriously.
Like flower cut cards.
Hundreds of cards seemed to be alive in the hands of the man in black robes, drawn diagonally into a flow of cards, and then more than twenty cards exploded towards the two people at the same time at extremely tricky angles between the fingers that flipped flexibly.
Click, click, click...
Several cards were just feints to interfere with judgment. This seemingly weak paper card actually fell into the wall, even one-third of the way in. It was extremely weird.
The two men were wielding swords like crazy, and the whole room was torn into pieces of paper.
But the trajectory of this card cannot be considered by common sense at all. It can swim in an S-shape or even a more complex trajectory without losing strength.
There was a click.
A man from Lostra had his ear cut off by a card and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
The leader among them felt bad that he had met a first-rate master.
Two people go together.
That technique is too fancy.
The dazzling card formed a circle, and its power was equivalent to a slash. One person was immediately knocked back to the wall and staggered, and the wind force of the card also cut strange arc-shaped scars on his arm.
The two streams of cards that looked like a cross merged to kill the remaining leader.
The leader's swordsmanship was superb. When the sword flower was turned, all the cards were shattered and paper scraps flew. This sword was like electricity in the dark night, and he was about to succeed.
but.
Lights went out.
A card calculated the time and was floating in the air. At this moment, it cut into the oil lamp, breaking its wick and extinguishing it.
A killing array composed of countless trajectories strangled from the darkness.
The room was just dark.
Nothing can be seen.
The man walked silently, any movement was invisible, and any move he made was unexpected and absolutely secretive.
Only Lostra and the other two were able to withstand it with their terrifying fighting instincts, but their injuries were getting worse and worse, and even they themselves didn't know where they were bleeding.
But the sound of cards grinding meat and scraping bones is endless.
Half a minute later.
The kerosene lamp was relit and the scene in the room was revealed.
The ground was covered with paper scraps and cards. Except for the two people who were killed instantly, the remaining two corpses were covered in blood and flesh. The ravines in the flesh were extremely miserable. Dozens of cards were stuck in them. They died of bleeding and shock.
The man in black robe was also panting slightly. The level of these people exceeded his expectation. Are they worthy of coming to get the stone tablet of the underworld?
He was also slashed hard on the chest.
In the blindness of the darkness, the leader also remained calm and thought extremely carefully. He actually understood the slight rules of his own moves, and even managed to strike a sword with his swift speed and exaggerated strength.
The man in black robe sat on the bed, lifted up his shirt, and saw blood overflowing from a wound more than ten centimeters long and as thick as a finger. He was wearing soft armor made of the scales of a high-level crawling monster.
But the force of this sword is too strong, and if it penetrates, it would be a disaster without the soft armor.
He took a bottle of strong liquor and poured it on the wound without any hesitation, but he remained silent and clenched his fists tightly, making his bones convulse.
Then he opened the thief's tool box he carried with him, including lock-picking tweezers, thousands of props, and all kinds of spare parts.
He took out the needle and thread and sewed himself. The needle passed through the skin and flesh thread and went around and around. It took dozens of stitches for such a long wound. Finally, he finished sewing it and cut the thread with a knife.
Then go on to business like no one else.
After searching the bodies, nothing useful was found. Only a note was found on the leader's body. After keeping it properly, all four bodies were thrown into the sea for disposal.
Then they searched the room.
"It's amazing..."
The man in black robe made a new discovery. This group of people brought a treasure worth more than eight hundred gold dragons, ten prismatic amethysts containing powerful magic energy. The gold dragon must have been too eye-catching, so they replaced it with this easy-to-carry one. Hard currency, people who don’t know the goods only think it is jewelry for women to dress up.
Eight hundred gold dragons for sale at a bargain price? As expected of a pirate, he can think of such a stupid thing, let alone eight hundred, eighty thousand, go away.
at last.
The man in black robe also discovered something he had never seen before. He didn't even know what it was. It was a palm-sized wooden box with two lights, one red and one blue, and a wooden scale wheel.
He didn't dare to move rashly, like something similar to a transmitter. Although he knew a little about mechanisms, it was better not to dismantle such a sophisticated thing.
It is inferred that it is a prop used to detect secret codes.
The man in black robe took out the note he had found earlier, which should have recorded the code. During this period of time, he came to study it. He knew a little bit about cryptographic symbology. After deciphering it, the person pretending to be Lostra also No problem.
It would be great to be able to retrieve the stone tablet without killing anyone. All we have to do is steal the two stones.
