Glory Riding and Cutting

The fainted man with his hands walked up to the two guards who stood motionless and stared blankly. The vampire said lightly:

"Stab this man to death!" The vampire straightened the man in his hand, grabbed his hair and lifted his head, revealing a face exactly like that of Assassin who ran past just now.

This man's clothes were exactly the same as Assassin's, with Hidden Blades on his wrists, and a throwing knife and pocket hand crossbow hidden in his clothes. Obviously, this was the ghost prepared by the assassination team.

After hearing the vampire's words, the hypnotized guard stretched out his sword hand without hesitation and stabbed the man's body fiercely. The severe pain awakened the sleepy scapegoat. The body of the long sword, but he couldn't say a word, but blood continued to overflow from his mouth.

The two guards stabbed several swords in succession and died completely for the dead ghost. Then the vampire said again:

"You have blocked the assassin in a dead end. He has nowhere to escape and can only fight with you, but he is not your opponent at all. In the end, you wanted to keep alive but accidentally killed him too much, so you had to bring him back. His body, remember?"

"Remember!" The two guards supported the corpse and responded stiffly.

"Very good, you will return to normal in 30 seconds, and then you will take the corpse directly to the Marquis's Mansion." After finishing speaking, the vampire walked out of the alley, tidied up his collar, and walked to the pre-set meeting point up.

Thirty seconds later, the two guards were all alert, and then came to their senses. Although they felt something wrong with the corpse in their hands, they finally believed their false memories and dragged the corpse towards the Marquis's Mansion.

Half an hour later, Francisco's son Gilmer looked at his father's body with a gloomy expression in the Marquis's mansion. He was the only son in the family, and Francesco's remaining four children were all daughters, so he never had to worry about inheritance rights. Now that his father is dead, he is the new marquis. At this moment, he is mixed with mixed emotions that he doesn't know whether it is happiness or sadness, and he is a little absent-minded.

Francisco's body has been simply decorated, the crossbow arrows in his neck have been pulled out, the wound has been covered with clothes, and the blood has been wiped dry, but the lifeless pale face and lips make it clear at a glance that he has died.

"The whole city mourns for three days, first make a good coffin for my father, bring it to me and catch the real murderer, then hold a funeral for him and bury him! I heard that the assassin was caught, take me to have a look!" Gilmore said to the butler beside him.

"My lord, the assassin has indeed been found, but he has already died under the guard's hands, do you still want to go and see?"

"Well, to be able to design those traps, he is definitely not alone, has he found his accomplice?"

"Not yet, but the Lord Vindicator sealed off the city as soon as he knew about it. They would definitely not be able to escape in such a short time, unless they left here long ago, leaving only this assassin behind. It is unlikely, generally speaking, this kind of assassination must have a follower."

"Well, seal off the whole city, no one can leave, and then ask the soldiers to quickly search my house from house to house, and never miss any corner!"

"Where are the mansions of the nobles?"

"Search the others first, if you can't find them, those nobles will also search!"

After speaking, Gilmore turned and walked out the door, and motioned for the butler to take him to see the assassin's body. After the assassin's body was brought back, it was placed in a warehouse in the mansion. At this time, many people were studying the assassin, trying to see if they could identify him from his equipment, clothes, or marks on his body. that force.

Seeing Gilmore coming in, those people consciously gave way to both sides. After all, Gilmore's succession to the title of marquis was already a certainty.

Walking in front of the "Assassin's" corpse, Gilmore suddenly felt familiar. He took a closer look at the "Assassin's" face, and then fell into memories. Others saw him silent, and they didn't know what happened. He didn't dare to ask, and he didn't dare to speak.

Suddenly, Gilmore clapped his hands and suddenly said:

"I've seen this assassin. He's next to Viscount Moncerf. It seems to be one of his attendants or guards. When he followed his father to discuss how to deal with that Rodritte some time ago, he stood behind Moncerf!"

"But how could he be an assassin? Moncef shouldn't be so stupid as to send someone who everyone knows is his subordinate to assassinate his father!" Gilmore said something strange, and then he thought silently. There are so many possibilities that there is no way to find the truth by guesswork alone.

"Monsef is in the manor outside the city. Go invite him to the mansion and observe his expression by the way. Monsef has always given people the impression that he is not a person who is good at calculating and hiding his thoughts. He called for a face-to-face confrontation, but don't tell him the truth, just say that I have other things to invite."

If it was really sent by Monsef, then he might refuse to come to the mansion to meet him, but it is also possible that he tried to deceive himself by pretending to be ignorant, but if Monsef had shown it before, it was all an illusion , if he has hidden his city for decades, then this person is too scary!

After thinking about it for a while, Gilmore decided not to think about it, and wait until the results of the city search come out, and then study after confronting Monsef.

After a day and night of intensive searching, the city guards finally found something valuable in a remote small courtyard, which seemed to be the hiding place of the previous assassin. The guards called everyone to answer and broke through the gate and left. Go in and soon find clues in that room in the center of the courtyard.

There are a lot of various tools, files, arrows, wooden sticks, and rubber bands in a mess on a table. This seems to be the workbench used by the assassin to assemble weapons and traps. In a brazier in the corner, the guards found a small A torn piece of paper with charred edges.

The assassin's accomplices must have left in a hurry, they didn't even notice that the letters hadn't been burned, and many things were thrown on the ground at will. Merchants, and even the uniforms of servants and city guards.

Obviously the assassin used these clothes to sneak into many places before. The handwriting on the torn piece of paper was already blurred, and it was just a corner, and there were not many words at first. After careful identification, the only line of recognizable words on the paper was a person's name .
