The terminal station of the Blue Route has considerable material throughput every day, and Meade Port was formed as a result.
This place does not belong to any country. If we have to say who controls it, it is probably the combined forces of merchants including the Northern Business Group, and the Twin Towers, the owners of the Twin Mountains.
The guards here are also from them.
It is just a small town formed by a port. On the only two main streets, there are several teams of well-equipped guards patrolling all the time. At the port, not only are there more guards, but there are also watchtowers and heavy forts.
type of defensive facilities.
even……
The only tavern in the port.
From the open window of the private room on the second floor, you can directly see the port.
Seeing the sky above the port, it looks like air and a spiritual body. It can be easily ignored by the naked eye, but people with keen senses can directly sense the power of a certain element coming from the depths of the Twin Mountains.
In just a few blinks, it flew like an invisible wind.
In the box, several eyes turned to that side almost at the same time.
However, the eyes are turning away, but it is obviously different from the direct observation of ordinary people. The sight of these people is looking at them with some hidden peripheral vision, which is extremely secretive.
"It's the spirit of the wind!"
"The spiritual contract mage from the Twin Towers is here!"
"Don't look too much, and don't talk about anything related to the target. No. 7 and No. 9 will stay, and the others will act according to the second plan."
A man with a slightly stooped back and an ordinary face, but who looked like he was a businessman based on his clothes, withdrew his gaze first.
Then, his suppressed and dry voice, like the whisper of ants, directly reached everyone's ears.
The Spirit of Wind is a type of wind element, but has a higher spirituality. It is almost the unique symbol of the Twin Towers Spirit Contract Mage.
Some people had suspected that the Twin Towers had mastered the secret technique of cultivating the Wind Spirit, but the existence of the two Mage Towers, which had been inherited from ancient times and had been further strengthened by countless great mages over thousands of years, obviously
There is nothing to tempt them for this.
The wind spirit is extremely sensitive to all sounds, coupled with the characteristics of elemental creatures, it can be called the assassin's nemesis.
At this time, Master Lingqi came personally and brought the Spirit of Wind...
The man's first vigilance is on his back, and the target has never let down his guard!
Given the target's past status, it is normal for him to be able to ask a spiritual contract mage to assist him.
But with the Spiritual Pact Master here, the ambush here is obviously unnecessary.
They are all veterans.
The rickety man's voice reached his ears, and the atmosphere in the box became normal.
After chatting and laughing, drinking and socializing, most of the people left the dock in a convoy, while a few drank too much and temporarily settled in a hotel.
"The taste of the secret king!"
"Looks like it's them!"
But no one could notice that in the tavern, a pair of eyes had taken in everything about them, especially when they saw the rickety man, there was a strange look in his eyes.
He actually has a bit of the charm of his counterpart from the north, and he seems to be another attendant of the Hidden King!
No wonder that person was recruited by the Green Dragon. He got into big trouble and was taking the opportunity to avoid disaster, right?
However, even though the trouble is a bit troublesome, it should still be killed!
The servants of the Secret King only exist in one organization.
Hidden Blade!
A secret organization that calls itself the Dark Blade, the King of Secrets!
Although they are also engaged in assassination and assassination work, this organization does not accept much outside work. Some information shows that they should be connected with some dark sects.
So once they are involved, it often means big trouble.
However, no matter how big the trouble was, not to mention that he had already accepted the green dragon's commission, if it only involved the King of Secrets, he would have to take action.
As a believer of the Lady of the Dark Night, when you encounter them, you can give those followers of the gods who also have the shadow priesthood a slap in the throat. This is the most beautiful thing that can get the attention of a lady!
The King of Secrets is on the lady's list!
The people from the Hidden Blade left the tavern, and these eyes quickly walked out as well.
This is a man with a very ordinary face, so ordinary that he has a very weak sense of presence. When he walked out of the tavern, there was a waiter behind him who was constantly trying to figure out who ordered two glasses of wine, but he forgot to collect the coins.
.
…
When Thomas, Rosalind and others arrived at Mead Harbor, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
Seeing the flags of the Northern Merchant Group and the Morgan Family rising above the two merchant ships.
Wearing a silver robe and holding a dark green staff, the spiritual contract mage Ogrill suddenly had a magical light in his eyes. He glanced at the merchant ship first, then looked at the water, and then simply turned back.
body and looked into the town.
Above him, there was only the vague outline of the wind spirit, and the surrounding air rippled gently like water waves.
Extremely sensitive hearing, including the ability to sense vibrations, almost enveloped most of the town in its perception.
"Marcas, ask everyone to be on guard, including the people on the ship. Erwin, Matilda and the others are left to you. Rosa, ask your people to be on guard as well. Lord Morgan has warned you.
, this is the last stop. After passing here, someone will come to pick you up."
Thomas first warned his two confidants, and then reminded Rosalind.
We're already here, there's no need to pretend, no matter whether there are people on the ship or not, just take the best possible precautions.
Two confidants, one immediately arranged a defensive net, and the other came together with Thomas's family.
Observing along the way, Rosalind was actually prepared. She only waved her hand, and the guards of the Morgan family immediately stood guard on the outside.
At the same time, Rosalind looked towards the dock again. The existence of the Wind Spirit was not beyond her range of perception, and she had seen the silver-robed mage before.
While observing, he said quietly with a calm expression: "It's Master Ogre from the Twin Towers. He is a close friend of my uncle Texas. The old man must have been prepared and invited him in advance to respond."
Texas is the current person in charge of the Morgan family. At least, when the old man is too lazy to move, he is in charge.
He was very supportive of Rosalind's decision to develop in the Rift Mountains, and had prepared sufficient resources and even manpower in advance.
"The spiritual contract mage from the Twin Towers?"
Thomas nodded slightly and glanced at the Wind Spirit. Then, as the merchant ship gradually approached the dock, a smile naturally appeared on his face.
Not to mention the background of the Twin Towers, this person himself should not be simple. In addition, he is here for him, so he will not be rude.
With a roar, the merchant ship finally stopped.
A few guards first opened the way, and Thomas and Rosalind followed closely and stepped onto the pier.
The spirit contract mage was right in front. Rosalind took half a step forward, with a slight smile on her face: "Uncle Ogre, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have had some time and have not been to Bolan."
The Wind Spirit was monitoring a large area, and Ogrel headed towards the dock. Rosalind's greeting made him first have a question mark in his mind, but his eyes inadvertently noticed the arrogant man, and he immediately realized it, with a face on his face.
Then he smiled slightly: "Is that Rosa? I haven't seen you for several years, but Dirk often mentions you, saying that you are the only successor to the Morgan family."
"Uncle is exaggerating." Rosalind shook her head with a slight smile on her face, then changed the topic back to the subject, half-turned around, looked at Thomas and the others, and said, "Mr. Thomas, here you go
Let me introduce, this is..."
Just as he pointed at the Spiritual Contract Mage to introduce him, Thomas smiled and shook his head. He stretched out his hand and said, "I'll do it myself. Mage Ogre, I'm Thomas, from the Bonn Federation. I can see you here."
, it’s really a joyful thing.”
The etiquette of the Bonn Federation is to shake hands with others.
On the wrist under Thomas's sleeve, there is another mithril bracelet with a hexagonal rune stone inlaid on it.
When he stretched out his hand, there was an extremely obscure ripple on the rune stone.
The Ripple Spirit Pact Master didn't notice anything strange, but within the hotel, which was at least a hundred steps away, he was only paying attention to the port with his peripheral vision, but in the eyes of the hunched man, another strange color flashed away.
Ogrel obviously also knew about the handshake ceremony. Thomas was enthusiastic, and of course he would not put on airs. He clasped his hands with Thomas and said with a smile: "It is an honor for us to have your Excellency the Consul here.
Mr. Morgan wrote a letter a few days ago, asking me to receive your Excellency well, otherwise he will not be nice to me next time he comes over. No, I arrived early yesterday."
There was no response from the mithril wristband, and Thomas' vigilance in his heart was reduced. However, he could only decline the enthusiasm for the spiritual contract mage: "I accept the mage's intention, but Mr. Morgan's
Xin, Master must also know that when I come here this time, I actually still have a lot of troubles, and I really can’t stop for a long time. There will always be opportunities in the future, whether I come to Master’s side, or Master goes to me,
Then we will have more fun.”
When he said this, he already had some idea of the relevant situation. Ogre was not too polite and nodded sternly: "Then I will follow the Archon's wishes. I will personally send you away from the Twin Mountains. If I have the opportunity in the future,
I will go visit you in person again."
Thomas did not refuse his favor. The two of them talked for a while, and soon led the group to walk in front, accompanied by escorts, layer by layer, blocking anyone from approaching.
Above them, the Wind Spirit has always maintained surveillance over a large area.
"The power of the Pillar Heart!"
"Sure enough, it's on him!"
The rickety-backed man had already closed the window, but another voice reached the ears of No. 7 and No. 9 in the next room: "Act on your own!"
While speaking, his eyes had been closed.
However, with his subtle induction of sound, vibration, and body heat, he could even clearly sense the approaching target.
"Only one chance to hit!"
Assassins only need one strike!
The middle one will kill!
If you don't hit it, you'll be far away!
Let’s switch to a second plan!
Concentrate and be still, even the beating of the heart is latent.
When the target's aura gradually reached the hotel.
Next door, a shrill arrow suddenly cut through the heavy pressure before the storm.
Ring the arrows together.
He could feel that No. 7 and No. 9 used the "Shadow Phase" ability almost at the same time. They were half incorporeal bodies. They didn't need to break the window, they just walked out of the wall and shot at the target in the air.
He could also feel that although there were several layers behind the target, some people raised their arms almost simultaneously.
Under his arms were short crossbows, which were already loaded with forest-blue poisonous arrows.
Duh duh duh!
The dense sound of breaking through the air was instantly responded to by the sound of arrows.
The hunched man finally moved.
He only took one step, and a path of shadow appeared in front of him, and his figure immediately disappeared into it and disappeared directly into the material plane.
Then.
"..."
A place that is like an illusion, everything is blurred, the material world is blurred, and opposite to the material world, there is deathly silence and gloom. The world called the shadow plane is also blurry.
The only clear thing...
He had just stepped into the border area between the two worlds, and before the rickety-backed man could observe the best time to kill with one strike, his throat suddenly felt cold, and then, an ordinary face appeared.
A person who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time came into his eyes clearly.
But just for this moment, his vision blurred again, and then it became completely dark.
There seems to be a little bit of ripples in the Shadow Plane at this time.
But before this wave of waves could spread, there was a darker, purer aura, which completely silenced everything.
The man's expression showed no signs of change, he just carried his head on his back and took another step out of this junction area.
When he stepped out, No. 7 and No. 9 had not even reached below, and those poisonous crossbow arrows were still flying "slowly" in the air.
Throwing the rickety-backed man's head to the ground, the ordinary-looking man stepped casually and disappeared into the shadows of the street almost instantly.
It was only then that No. 7 and No. 9 finally pounced, and the poisonous crossbows seemed to have finally returned to their original speed.
"Sura!"
The whistling sound of the wind spirit also sounded at the same time.
An atmospheric aegis, like a blue ripple, arc-shaped, shrouded the spirit contract mage, Thomas and others under it.
The poisonous crossbows were fired at, and some of the guards who had been on guard for a long time waved their arm shields with unusual agility, but more instinctively squeezed together to form a human shield to block the shots from behind.
But it was all in vain.
The blue ripples seemed as weak as bubbles. The poisonous crossbow was shot on it, but it was deflected, and the force was released layer by layer, and it slipped down in the blink of an eye.
No. 7 and No. 9 came over to attack, but the incorporeal bodies formed by the shadow phase could not penetrate this magical barrier. They could only burst out their power and forcefully break through, creating even more chaos.
But at this moment, the head thrown casually by the ordinary-looking man fell into their eyes.
For an instant, their eyes were filled with shock and coldness, but there was no fear.
"Kill them all and leave no one alive!"
Thomas touched his right wrist with his left hand, and while giving instructions calmly, there was once again a vague fluctuation on the rune stone.
However, until all the assassins were surrounded and killed.
The rune stone did not trigger any abnormalities.
Apart from……
"That one?"
His eyes were fixed on the head that was thrown carelessly in front of him.
Thinking about the mysterious person who disappeared as soon as he appeared.
Thomas gradually began to have some suspicions in his mind.
As old Morgan said, that man was so thirsty for consuls that he even went as far as Midport to support him.
Moreover, the mysterious man who had just been glimpsed...
"Legendary Assassin?"
I can't say I'm completely sure, after all, I didn't see the move with my own eyes, but Thomas has some calculations and some judgment in his mind.
