Chapter 144

You don’t know until you see it. He found out that… the boy who had just left his place was standing there.

And the suitcase he had just put back into the bushes had been reopened by Ash, and the list was taken out and looked through by him.

“Originally, you were not on the list, and I only wanted Fulilian’s life, but now…”

“Because it’s a top-secret mission, everyone who sees this list must die, right?”

“…”

Ladar didn’t say anything, but just lifted up his black cloak, made a signature pure black tights, and silently lowered his body, like a cheetah ready to pounce.

But… his legs couldn’t move inexplicably.

Because… Ash didn’t move at all, just stood there with a calm look, and he seemed to be stared at by a terrifying beast.

The creepy atmosphere shocked his heart, making him tremble all over as if he fell into an ice cave.

Although it was hard to believe that such a young man was so skilled, his intuition told him that if he took action, he would have no chance of survival.

And judging from the knife on Ash's waist, he should be a warrior. It was not too advantageous for an assassin to fight a warrior head-on, although he was also very good at "head-on assassination".

"What's wrong? Why are you silent? Aren't you a shadow warrior? At least show some courage at this time, just like your colleagues a while ago, when I had them hanged on the city gate, they didn't say a word... Why are you like this?"

As he spoke, he thought of something again, and couldn't help but stop turning the pages, and pondered: "Well, think about it seriously, it may be that the rope is around the neck and can't speak?"

"... What do you want to do?"

Although he was just talking to himself and turning the pages casually, the content of his words gradually filled the air with a creepy atmosphere, causing Radar to shrink his neck, letting the cold sweat on his forehead flow but holding the dagger tightly, trying not to escape.

It's not that he didn't want to escape, but now that he had become an enemy, even if he didn't want to admit it, he was forced to realize that as long as he turned around, he might never be able to open his eyes again, even for a moment.

The old man seemed to be forced to retreat, and Ash was dumbfounded:

"It's not... you who want to assassinate others, right? Why do you say that I am the one who wants to do bad things? Why do you think you are the villains?"

"This is... for the empire."

"It's all the people above who are messing around, right?"

He tore off the binding part of the head and threw the list over, letting yellowed paper scatter in the sky.

Let the familiar avatars fly in the air and break into the old man's eyes.

The targets that these shadow warriors need to assassinate are not criminals at all. Instead, many of them are people who have contributed to humanity and the empire, and the others are also people who are not easy to attack openly.

Or...if it's not like this, there's no need to assassinate, just let the magic special forces go directly. Shadow warriors do things that are not allowed to be seen in the light and will ruin their reputations.

Many of the personnel are talents that Ash has heard of and feel it's a pity to die.

"I don't need to know the reason...we just need to obey orders."

"If you attack someone, you must be prepared to be killed. I grew up like this and lived like this since I was a child, so..."

Ash slowly raised his hand, and Radar swallowed his saliva, tensed up nervously, and prepared to run away...but he suddenly looked behind Radar: "...Flillian and Fen, what do you think?"

"?!" Radar turned his head when he heard the voice, and then he realized that he had been paying attention to him all the time, and forgot to be on guard against the situation on the side. There was actually someone who had arrived behind him, but he, the assassin, was unaware of it.

...............................

Understand/The person who was following him was already ⑵ # (Fu Lilian, with scars on her face, sighed and walked out:

"... Why push it to my side."

"Because he wants to kill you, and I was just a passerby who accidentally saw the secret after being innocently involved." Ash spread his hands and took himself out directly.

Felen quickly walked around Radar, came behind him, and pulled the corner of his clothes anxiously: "Master Ash... Normally, what should you do when you encounter such a thing?"

"According to the normal story plot, discovering the dirty tricks of the big forces behind the scenes , if you let him go out of your heart, you will be chased and killed."

"Does Lady Fulilian want to kill... kill someone?" Philen's face froze, and he looked at Fulilian with a complicated look, which made Fulilian feel hurt: "Why do you throw the trouble to me...? And I didn't say I was going to kill him, did I?"

"Isn't this the trouble you brought?"

"Even so! Didn't you swear that I would leave it to you to deal with?"

"In fact, if you didn't follow me, I would have already dealt with it." He also looked very innocent in the face of such complaints.

After all, you really can't blame him for shirking responsibility this time. If the two of them hadn't followed, he would have settled the matter after just a little teasing.

Who would have thought that if I accidentally talked too much, and as time passed by, people who shouldn't have come also appeared, making it harder to take action.

After all...Phelan and Fulian were different from him in that they were not so easy to accept death.

Because of this, until now, he has not been able to tell what he is really doing.

There is no way, not everyone can accept the peace built with death. Even if they can accept it, or if they don't say it, they will definitely have a lot of psychological burden in their hearts.

Fulilian didn't understand what was bothering him, so she just ran to his side out of habit and muttered: "Let me ask...how did you originally plan to solve it?"

"Kill him directly, and he will be done with it. Anyway, this kind of person has killed countless people, and even if he dies, it will not be a pity."

He gave what he thought was the most appropriate plan without thinking, but Fei Lun frowned: "Even if he is like this... But the people in this village respect him, right? And his son, daughter, The grandchildren too...if someone finds out, we..."

"You can't possibly say that you want to eradicate everything, right?" Fulilian squinted her eyes and stared up at him as if scrutinizing.

"...Of course, who do you think I am?" Ya Xiu shook his head helplessly and smiled, then turned his attention again to the old man who was still standing there.

When the three of them communicated about their methods of handling, although Radar was really motionless, his mental activity was always very active.

When Fulilian and Feilun passed by him, he kept thinking about relying on a surprise attack to take down a hostage to ensure his retreat, but...

Not sure at all! Why? How could I be so powerless against a child? ——Radar wanted to take action several times, but in the end he could not overcome the fear in his heart.

Not only was he worried that he would die, he was also worried that his son and grandson would avenge him.

Although Ling Yaxiu said that it was strange that Emu could not cut off the underworld grass and delete the Er root ball. (Four..actual) In fact, he did not think that Yaxiu would be merciful to those who came to seek revenge.

"What do you say, Mr. Village Chief?" Ashus asked lightly, walking towards him step by step.

Radar took a long breath, put down the dagger in his hand, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "I don't want to die...can you spare my life?"

"Uh, is it so sudden? But...the targets you killed almost all had the same idea, right? What was your last choice?"

"I..." Radal was immediately speechless.

But Fulilian was picking up the papers on the ground, and after reading a few pieces, she sighed softly, stepped forward and took Ash's hand:

"Forget it, Ash, this killing is completely meaningless. After all, how many years ago were these records? I'm afraid this guy has been forgotten by the people above, right? He is just a prop to be used."

"...Even so, he is still committed to his mission."

"Can you give up?" Fulilian turned her head and looked at Radar expressionlessly, warning: "If you don't give an accurate answer, this guy will probably... no, he will really kill you. ”

"...What you said is indeed true, but if I just give up like this, what is the meaning of my life? I originally thought I would think so, but...is it really okay? Let me go. ?" Despite the evidence from Fulilian, Radar still subconsciously looked at Ash.

"Aren't you all trained as dead warriors since childhood?" Ya Xiu only showed an expression of seeing something new and strange.

"Although we are known as warriors who are not afraid of death, but..." Radar himself didn't know how to complain about his escape from the battle. He just lowered his head in embarrassment: "Maybe he was living a peaceful life. It’s been too long. When I really want to die, I can’t help it..."

"Really? It's not impossible to let you go. After all, those people you killed are not my relatives and friends. But, Radar, what this world lacks most is the retribution of the cycle of cause and effect, and since you have offended Don’t think that it will be easy to leave even if you don’t have Fulilian, after all..."

He paused deliberately in the middle of his words, causing Fulilian to raise her head proudly, waiting for the next compliment that should say she was important: "Hmm~ Huh~!"

"——She is petty and very vindictive."

"Hello!"

"Is that true?" He completely ignored Fulian who poked her head over. He slapped her head and pressed it down roughly. Then he looked at the shadow warrior who rarely surrendered on his own initiative and said straight to the point:

"As punishment, you can go directly to the Kingdom of Esther tomorrow."

"Kingdom of Esther?"

"Go back now, I will talk to you tomorrow."

With that said, he got rid of the stunned old man Liu, ignored Fulian who was still glaring at him, and just disappeared into the forest with Fei Lun. among.

"He's really gone..." Radar looked at the direction in which the three people disappeared, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.

I just felt lucky, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of my mouth:

"Sure enough... I am not a warrior who is not afraid of death now... I know I can go home after being released. Not only do I not feel humiliated, but I feel relieved..."

...............................

...............................

Ladar did not escape overnight, and he did not have the chance at all... In the middle of the night, Ash sneaked into his home and deleted some sensitive content he had said in his memory.

And gave this retired old man a new job, of course, he was not asked to kill people, but to go to the kingdom and help the kingdom train shadow warriors under supervision.

After all, Ladar is the only shadow warrior who will surrender so far. Of course, the specific content of the atonement mission will be known after he gets there.

Ladar can take his family with him, but if he does not leave... the whole village will face a catastrophe.

Although Ladar is not sure whether he will do this, he dare not gamble at all, so he can only start packing up for the village early the next morning.

"....What's wrong, Radar?" The old woman who was awakened sat up rubbing her eyes, and was frightened by her husband's packing behavior:

"Where are you going...? So suddenly?"

"Sorry... I have to go."

"Where to?"

"Ester Kingdom."

"Reason...?"

"... Can't tell now."

Radar, who was strictly required to keep his mouth shut, could only shake his head for fear of the leak.

Although he believed in his wife, his wife was an ordinary person, and if she was not careful, her memory might be read by someone who was good at mental magic.

"Really? Those things in the past? Or new?"

"Those things in the past? Did you... know about them a long time ago?" Radar looked up at his wife unexpectedly, but the old woman smiled but did not answer, so he could only bow his head and say guiltily: "Those... are over."

"Really? That's great, in that case... can I go with you?"

"This... is okay?"

Radar looked at his elderly wife and hesitated, but the other party seemed quite happy, so he could only nod and agree.

The two elderly people in their seventies simply said goodbye to their children and grandchildren, and then left their hometown together... Under the guidance of the kingdom spies who arrived overnight, they left the village where they had lived for almost a lifetime.

Although it seemed a bit inhumane to be separated from their children and grandchildren and leave their hometown in their old age, considering what Ladar had done, for Ash personally, it was a win-win choice of leniency because Fulilian and Philen were there and he didn't want to be regarded as a bloodthirsty person.

Fulilian and Philen probably felt that it was somewhat difficult for him to face those villagers by directly sending people to another country, so after Fulilian got up, they quickly left the village and continued on their way to the imperial capital.

Along the way, Fulilian recalled what happened last night, and she felt more and more that something was wrong. She couldn't help but look at his back and suddenly shouted: "-It's wrong!"

"What happened suddenly?" Ash not only didn't look back, but didn't even slow down his pace for a moment.

"You are definitely just using my name to do whatever you want, and you also hurt me, right?"

"Fulilian, you... have really become powerful."

"Of course!"

"I thought it would take you at least a year to react, but I didn't expect you to react in one night."

"...Are you praising me?"

"Well, you can actually be happy now."

.........

In their habitual bickering, the three of them unknowingly crossed the forest, and after staying in a town outside the imperial capital for one night, they arrived at the outskirts of the imperial capital in the evening not too long after.

...............................

The imperial capital of the empire is unexpectedly magnificent.

There is a wide moat on the periphery, and the imperial capital exists like an island in the middle. The whole thing below is a towering mountain, which is somewhat similar to the structure of a Japanese castle.

Going up the stairs layer by layer, there are two walls on the periphery, and two or three walls on the inner city (to protect) the core Victorian castle.

But if they want to attack the castle, there are not only four walls blocking them, but also a satellite city at each entrance of the four bridges connecting the imperial capital.

There are multiple height-limiting barriers in the air. If they want to attack, they have to break the reinforced walls and the defense of the national defense barrier.

Although there are four intersections in the east, west, south and north, when they actually entered the outer perimeter of the imperial capital through the satellite city in the south, they saw two familiar figures at the gate of the city.

During the first-level magician exam, the first-level magician who has been in charge of auxiliary affairs, the glasses man with a big back hair, Falxiu.

There is also a legal loli with super long hair, who looks like a plush toy from a distance and is easy to rub at first glance-Zanze.
