Chapter 61: Failed Assassination (Please Collect and Recommend)

Things have come to this point, and Mai Rui feels that this commission is basically half completed. What he needs to consider now is how to escape from here without being noticed. If the target is found and killed, the entire Katlinburg will fall into an emergency state, and it will be difficult to leave easily at that time.

Yes, Mai Rui never considered that he would fail!

In his opinion, the most difficult part of assassinating an important person like Kai is how to pass the outer guard. Once he approaches the target, everything is doomed.

Kai is indeed a strong opponent, but that was Kai when he was awake. Now Kai is still immersed in sleep. If you want to kill him, you only need a dagger, and you don’t need to think so much.

That’s what Mai Rui thought, and he planned to do it.

Kai’s room is on the top floor of the castle. There is only one exit here, which is a corridor. It doesn’t need many people to guard it, so only two soldiers are arranged at the entrance of the corridor. Merry hid in the corner and observed secretly, and found that only through this corridor could he enter Kai's residence. As for the two soldiers, Merry found that they were in good spirits and should have just changed shifts.

And there was no cover at the entrance of the corridor. If they wanted to sneak in, they had to be blind.

So they had to use some extraordinary means.

Thinking of this, Merry smiled and turned away. After a while, Merry found a servant's clothes from somewhere and put them on, and then walked over in a swagger. His expression was very natural, as if he walked into his own home, without any abnormality.

In this way, Merry passed by the two guards with confidence.

The two guards found Merry as soon as he came out, but they didn't react at all when they saw Merry's demeanor. They thought Merry was someone in the castle. When Merry approached, they realized that this was Sir Kay's room, and no one was allowed to pass at this time.

Just when they were about to call out to Mai Rui and ask him something, Mai Rui suddenly raised his finger and made a silent gesture, then he pointed to the room at the end of the corridor.

The two guards saw it and understood immediately. He meant to keep his voice down, as Sir Kay was asleep. The two guards didn't think too much about it, but felt that it was right. It was so late, and it would be bad if they woke Sir Kay up. So they cooperated very well and shut up, and then asked Mai Rui to come closer, intending to ask quietly, and if there was nothing wrong, let him go away.

This is what Mai Rui wanted. As a senior killer, he understood people's hearts very well. If he had just been aggressive or sneaky, the two guards would definitely call him out loudly, after all, there was something fishy at first glance. On the contrary, if he walked out with a clear conscience, the two guards would never think that he was plotting something bad at the first time.

After all, these soldiers had just recently arrived in this small town and were not familiar with the locals in the town. In addition, Mai Rui was dressed in servant clothes, so they naturally thought that Mai Rui was a servant of the castle.

Mai Rui came to the two guards with a smile on his face. →

"What do you do?" One of the soldiers asked in a low voice.

Mai Rui deliberately glanced at the room at the end of the corridor, then waved to the two soldiers, signaling them to come closer. That expression and action, it couldn't be more natural, the two soldiers naturally didn't think too much, so they really came closer.

When the two soldiers' heads came closer, Mai Rui waved his hands, and the two daggers slashed across the soldiers' necks. Sudden attack, the two guards instinctively wanted to scream, but Mai Rui's move was fast and fierce. The daggers that just slashed across their necks had already cut off their vocal cords, and they didn't give them a chance to speak.

After cutting the throats of the two men, Mai Rui immediately supported the two men very attentively, and covered their mouths and noses with his hands to accelerate their death. In less than ten seconds, suffocation caused accelerated bleeding, causing the two men to immediately fall into shock. At this point, shock and burping are actually no different, anyway, there is no hope.

As the "hiss" sound of blood spurting gradually became smaller, Mai Rui gently put the two people down without making any sound.

After finishing the two people, Mai Rui did not leave immediately, but stood there and waited for a while. He was paying attention to the movement to see if anyone came. Finding that the surroundings were still quiet, Mai Rui was satisfied and walked towards Kai's room quietly.

The door of the room was easily opened. In this era, there were no such complicated door locks. Most of them were latch-type door locks. They could be opened with a dagger. Even third-rate thieves could do this, not to mention our king of assassins.

However, Mai Rui was different from ordinary thieves. He was not in a hurry to knock on the door, but was very slow. Because he knew that the strongest knight in the entire Celtic countries was sleeping in this room. If the noise was loud, it would be very likely to wake him up. If he was discovered, he was not sure if there would be such an opportunity next time.

So he would rather be slow and safe.

Of course, the speed also depends on the target. With the reputation of the king of killers, Mai Rui's skills are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary thieves. Even if he is slow, it will take only five seconds to pry open the door. Mai Rui held the door handle and gently pulled it up, then slowly pushed the door open. This is to avoid making noise when opening the door.

When the door slowly opened, Mai Rui quickly found his target.

Mary did not hesitate, and was not cautious as before. Instead, he rushed to the bedside with one step, and stabbed the bulging quilt with the dagger!

But the moment the dagger pierced the quilt, Mary felt something was wrong!

The feeling from the dagger was wrong. It was not the feeling of the dagger piercing flesh and blood! There was no one under the quilt!

Mary immediately realized that he was exposed, and he immediately dropped the dagger in his hand and prepared to run away. Unfortunately, he was still a beat too late. He saw a long sword silently stretched out from under the bed, like cutting butter, and gently cut off Mary's legs at the knees!

"Ah!!" Mary was a tough guy. He only screamed twice when his legs were cut off. He even planned to fight back, but the severe pain had taken away his strength to resist, and his dagger could not touch the target at all.

Mary fell to the ground, and in the corner of his eyes, he saw a figure slowly crawling out from under the bed. That person was his target-Kai! How could he not know that others had already discovered him and were waiting for him to come!

"How did you find me?!!" This was the most confusing thing for Mai Rui. He believed that he had not made any mistakes and should not have been discovered.

Kai touched his nose and said contemptuously: "Soldiers at the door should not be killed. The blood smell is too strong."

However, before Mai Rui could say anything, he saw a foot appear in front of him, and then he fainted without knowing anything!

...

Although Mai Rui fainted very quickly and was very tough, he finally screamed. In the dead of night, someone suddenly screamed, and the noise was so abrupt. In addition, Kai's military management was always strict, even in the early morning, the sentry was very strict. The two screams quickly alarmed the guards downstairs. In less than a minute, a team of soldiers rushed over.

When they arrived at Kai's room, they found Kai in pajamas holding a sword, and a black man who no one knew was lying on the ground.

"It's the assassin, he's not dead yet. Take him away and stop the bleeding. Don't let him die. I want to see who wants to assassinate me!" Kai didn't get angry when he saw someone coming. Instead, he explained calmly.

The soldiers didn't have as good a psychological quality as Kai. They were almost scared to death when they saw someone assassinating Sir Kai. After all, they were responsible for guarding. If Sir Kai really died in the assassination, they knew what would happen to them.
