"The Elf Queen Heloise and Roland (Know-Who) were assassinated at the same time. As the assassins, "Emerald Flame" Cyril, "Ekaba Wings" Wen Wen'en fell on the spot, and "Iron Emperor" Salvin was seriously injured.
Escape, the Lan Kingdom jointly issued a wanted order..."
Before the dawn of a new day has arrived, a shocking news is destined to shock the entire Northland world.
Before dawn, after reporting to Renee and others that we were safe, we began to sort out the ins and outs of this assassination.
For me, an old fritter who has gone too far on the path of the soul, lying to my face is meaningless and will arouse my suspicion and vigilance. In order to attract my attention and gain my trust, Cyril disguised as a messenger said this.
It's all true.
Not only was Heloise assassinated, but the assassin was two of the top elves' demigods. Accompanied by the high-ranking elves, they successfully assassinated the clone of the new Queen Heloise...
"A demigod elf archer and a transformation druid who is proficient in restraint and magic resistance. Both are natural enemies of the spell caster. The clones were destroyed in one encounter and are now turned into a ball of slime.
, how do I explain it to those guys?”
Heloise was a little troubled. No wonder she reacted very slowly at the time. She should have devoted all her energy to the government affairs of the clone. Her own assassination attracted all her energy. When she returned to my side, the assassination over there was probably over.
, she came to discuss it with me.
The assassinations on both sides happened at the same moment. It was obviously to attract attention and contain the reinforcements, and to mobilize three targeted veteran demigods at once. This was really outrageous.
At this time, Heloise was still struggling with her exposed slime clone. In fact, this was not important at all.
"If the clone explodes, let's say it is a ninjutsu magic shadow clone from the East."
"It broke into slime in the end? The shadow clone is too ridiculous. Just say it's a clone made of water. Isn't that the end of the world? Water clone! That's the past explanation? Isn't it enough that you are still alive and kicking? What a big deal.
Just show off your avatar ability on the spot."
Heloise's troubles seem unnecessary to me. As long as she can keep her composure, she doesn't even need to give an explanation. If she can't keep her composure, any explanation will be meaningless.
Moreover, given her identity, having more life-saving⌒style_txt; abilities is normal. Explain? Do I need to explain to you my life-saving trump card? Do you want to murder me?
The sudden incident gave us a lot to think about. The elf queen who had just taken office was assassinated by the elves, and Heloise really felt a lot for a while.
"......This time, wasn't it done by the moon elf?"
Heloise held it in for a long time before she finally said this sentence. Although it was a question, it had an affirmative tone.
"Nonsense, those elves have such ability, they would have turned upside down a long time ago."
It's not that the assassins are powerful elves, they are really made by elves. The more they act like assassins from the elven kingdom, the more I feel that there is someone behind them, and there is no need to guess the person behind them.
"...the Holy Church."
"It must be him. Only they have this background."
As the largest force in mankind, the Church of the Holy Church is dominated by humans, but there are also many strong men from various races who are loyal to the Holy Light. Finding a few dead elves is nothing to them.
"But the moon elves are also involved. There may be human lords who were tricked by you."
"...Most likely, let's wait for the results of the investigation."
We are a little helpless. It is really depressing to realize that we clearly know who wants to kill us, but even retaliation is difficult.
"...Xiriel is a good chess piece, and it is an extremely precious chess piece."
There is never the so-called strongest or invincible in this world. Every ability has its advantages and disadvantages. The power of revenge is an ancient and powerful force. It is said to come from the hunting witchcraft of trolls. Many elf rangers retain it.
There are secret techniques to practice, and there are even special advanced professions.
But there are very few people who actually practice the power of revenge. After all, although this kind of individual characteristic ability can defeat the strong with the weak, its general applicability is too low. It is often the patent of those unlucky people whose lives are like the protagonists of tragic stories.
.
Every time a revenge month passes, the power of the revenge weapon will be superimposed, and the practitioner's heartache will be doubled. However, the material of the weapon has a limit, and the human endurance also has a limit. The peak burst of the power of revenge
, and naturally there are limits.
It stands to reason that more than a hundred years have passed and Cyril, who has not released the lock on revenge, should have reached that limit long ago.
, living in pain to death, but he is still alive, and his hatred for me is as if those things happened yesterday.
"Hang his life and use him as a good chess piece, it's really..."
Lowering his body, the emerald dagger fell suddenly, blood splashed, and Cyril's dagger took the life of his master.
I am not a saint, nor do I have the habit of raising tigers. Want to kill me for revenge? You are welcome, but be mentally prepared to die in battle if you fail.
Although I want to know what happened, I don't intend to leave it to the interrogator. For strong people who can withstand the torture of the power of revenge, torture is just a tickle for them.
What is regrettable is that after the death of Cyril, the glory of the epic weapon Emerald Fang dissipated, the emerald turned into white jade, and the level was obviously reduced.
I vaguely felt that the dagger was changing, and I was handling it carefully, while Heloise looked at Cyril's body, seeming a little eager to try.
"Searching for souls?"
"No, it's too wasteful..."
Soul searching is not a panacea. The more determined a soul is, the more difficult it is to analyze. There is no need to question Cyril's willpower. And when the caster is me, the hostility is too strong, and I might get bitten back.
So, instead of wasting this precious corpse by taking out a few mostly useless memory fragments, it is better to put it to use. Maybe, I can let "it" tell me personally who is behind the scenes.
Throwing the corpse directly into the bug world, I began to think about how Xi Ruier survived to this day. After all, there were many elven kingdoms destroyed by the eternal night, and the practice of the power of revenge is not a secret among the elves. Two more people jumped out
It's really fun to be a mortal enemy.
"The easiest way is probably to separate the soul and refrigerate it, then wake it up when it is needed, and assassinate the enemy before the Revenge Blood Moon rises to avoid painful death. By the way, you can also use the Holy Light Magic to forcibly hang yourself.
, High concentrations of holy light can make people forget pain just like illegal drugs..."
Thinking of this, I feel more and more that the Holy Church is inseparable from the relationship. It works hard to maintain a "dagger" that can only assassinate Yong Ye. Still, under the premise that Yong Ye has disappeared, there is only the Holy Church with great wealth and oil.
The church can do it.
However, my absolute most likely possibility is that they themselves forgot about the frozen "dagger" and only took it out when they remembered it temporarily.
"... Roland, look at the dagger."
Hearing this, I found that the jade dagger fastened to my waist had shrunk by one third of its size, and the place where it touched my waist actually hurt slightly.
I pulled out the dagger and looked at the blade carefully. The blade, which was stained with the blood of the owner, not only had a circle of cracks, but was also stained with a strange dark red.
Just looking at this weird dark red color, I instinctively felt uneasy, as if there was an assassin watching me in the shadows.
[Five points will help you identify it.]
"……so good?"
It was really rare for the system to take the initiative. I agreed to the system without hesitation. It only cost five points, which was simply negligible.
[Dagger of Revenge: The End of Eternal Night (Sub-Artifact)]
[This weapon was once the Emerald Fang of the legendary warrior Cyril. Not only did he die in the hands of his old enemy, but his most beloved dagger was also inserted into his throat. At the last moment of his life, his soul was attached to the essence and blood.
Above, he sacrificed all his power of revenge, cursed the dagger, and created this legendary weapon.]
[Unique characteristic (Eternal Night Enemy): The holder will instinctively hate the undead and regard all undead emperors as mortal enemies. Any undead hit by a dagger will have a certain chance of being destroyed directly. Due to the previous holder's
Curse, the owner of the dagger will
Every night, he has nightmares of being destroyed by undead natural disasters, and will subconsciously hate the undead emperor named Eternal Night. Once this dagger hits the body of the undead emperor named Eternal Night, it will directly collapse the opponent's defense.
, Destroy the target’s soul.】
[ps. Well done. This is the natural enemy guillotine you built yourself. You can use it when you can't think of committing seppuku that day. Give yourself a knife to ensure a quick and direct death. 】
Looking at this malicious annotation, I finally understood why the system was so kind. This guy made it clear that he was just kidding me.
I shook my head helplessly. Although it was rare for this weapon to be inexplicably strengthened so much, and its upgrade to a sub-artifact was already a miracle, if this miracle was aimed at me, I would definitely not be able to keep it.
Holding the dagger, I really wanted to destroy it, but a thought suddenly appeared in my mind, and I changed my mind. Perhaps, as long as it is used skillfully and properly, this dagger can still be useful and of great use.
As for myself...
"Actually, I have not been an undead for many years, and my name is not Yong Ye..." (To be continued.)
