The Emerald Tower

The gravel path in front of me is about to come to an end.

There is a two-story building with two wooden steps, and the same wooden handrails and floors, all the way to the half-open wooden door.

The broken signboard had already fallen to the ground. Like the whole building, it was full of marks of knives and axes, and it was also covered with mud.

There are even some traces of fire.

However, under the influence of the mud, the fire did not really engulf this tavern in the civilian area.

For this, a great price was paid.

All the people, including the owner and the lads of the tavern, were killed here by the mob, and the ground was stained with blood.

Of course, this is known to ordinary people.

According to Ariande.

This place was directly occupied by the Brotherhood’s "magpie nest dove" when the riots occurred!

Because their previous temporary stronghold was too close to the front square of the Golden City, and was completely affected by the fighting.

Therefore, a new temporary base is essential.

Ariande was placed on the inside line of the ‘Brotherhood’, and after receiving the news of the transfer, he informed Ariande, and Ariande directly informed Dean.

Then, naturally, Dean appeared here.

Dean scanned the tavern in front of him, then, after making a gesture to the chief guard, he continued to walk inward——

Crunch!

When Dean stepped onto the first wooden steps, immediately, a sour noise appeared.

but. Dean didn't care, and continued to move up.

Crunch!

The second wooden step also made such a harsh noise.

Then the wooden floor. is also like this.

Everything shows the oldness here, matching the appearance of the pub.

However, Dean was keenly aware of something wrong.

There is no problem with the wooden steps.

The wooden corridor floor has some problems.

Even through the metal boots, Dean's feet could feel the floor after being passed over by hands and feet. Not only was it thinned, but it was also tied with a rope to shake the floor. It drives the vibration of the rope and the crisp sound of the bell. Directly passed into the ear.

When the [Perception] reached the level of 10.59, although the effect of [Heart Ru Stop Water] did not change directly, the subtleties became more obvious.

With a casual smile. Dean opened the remaining half of the door and walked into the tavern.

The tables and chairs have long been scattered and fallen, and all the wine that should have been in the tavern has been moved away, not to mention the wine barrel, not even a wine glass is left.

And the bar counter in the pub was divided into two.

The cut has burrs and is not smooth, but it is enough to show the strength of the chopper.

At least above the knight level. Only those close to the Great Knight can do it.

Dean slowly approached the bar that was divided into two, seeming to want to check carefully—

Woo!

A silhouette. Leaping straight from the beam of the house, the battle axe in his hand made a whistling sound.

Moreover, in the surrounding shadows, crossbow arrows fired continuously.

Dean ignored the crossbow arrows that came and raised his palm to grab it.

Cang!

As soon as the palm that was supposed to be made of flesh and blood touched the battle axe, it made a metal clash. [Sharp Palm Skill] Use Dean's [Physique] at the moment, although he didn't raise his level again. But it has more convenience.

At the very least, it becomes a bit lighter.

Click, click, click...

A series of extremely cold frost spread out from Dean's palm, directly covering the battle axe, and before the axe holder had time to react, it covered it together.

In an instant, the axe-bearer was silent and became an ice sculpture.

Dean throws it casually.

The ice sculpture hit a shadow.

Suddenly, the broken sound of the ice sculpture and the screams in the shadows sounded simultaneously.

【Xp+90】

【Xp+20】

【Xp+15】

Three spheres of light floated out of the shadow and merged into Dean's body, but Dean didn't stop, and walked slowly toward another shadow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Lianzhu's arrows shot out quickly.

However, the same as before, only a few sparks were picked up on [Imitation. The Armor of West Steel] and they were bombed.

It didn't stop Dean's progress at all.

And when Dean was one step away from the shadow, the arrow in the shadow stopped, and a flap that opened from the floor was revealed.

Obviously, this is the opponent's retreat, and it is also the opponent's trap.

Without hesitation, Dean jumped in.

And just as Dean had imagined, the moment he jumped in, the ‘Brotherhood’ assassin who had been guarding below immediately launched an attack.

A long sword gleaming with cold light pointed at the gap between the upper and lower parts of [Imitation.

After two rounds of arrows, even a stupid person can see the powerful defense power of [Imitation. Xigang Armor].

Avoiding [Imitation. Armor of West Steel] attacking Dean himself is the best choice.

The assassins of the ‘Brotherhood’ naturally know what to do.

In the same way, Dean naturally knew how to do it--

Dean's feet flashed again and again like an unknown prophet. The first kick hit the assassin's long sword accurately, letting the long sword fly away, and the second kick hit the opponent's chest fiercely.

Quack!

After a sound of broken bones, the assassin flew out, hit the wall heavily, and then fell to the ground again, blood spurted out, struggling twice, but still unable to stand up. Obviously can't live.

When Dean is down to earth, the ball of light representing the xp value reappears.

【Xp+50】

An xp value higher than that of an ordinary knight, but far below the level of a great knight.

And that was enough to make Dean frown.

He looked around. The frown tightened.

In front of me is an underground secret room, neatly arranged, and the walls are evenly built. There are beds around the secret room with a table in the middle.

Moreover, in the other corner of the secret room, there are enough food and water stacked.

No matter how you look at this situation, it doesn't look like a ‘temporary stronghold’ that was hurriedly found.

Moreover, according to Arion, King Gaosai is a member of the ‘Brotherhood’. They will all gather here, with the performance of just four people. Although the standard is much higher than trash fish, it is definitely not really elite.

After all, according to common sense, the head of the ‘Brotherhood’ in charge of the King’s Capital of Gaosai. At least it should be a silver.

So, it is common sense to have three to five knights under his men.

What's more, before the ‘Ghost’ Walter also carried three silvers.

And now, none of them appear.

The only thing that can be explained is--

Ariande's "inside line" is exposed!

Everything before is testing and confirming whether the opponent has rebelled.

When he appeared here, everything was naturally self-evident.

Dean, who wanted to understand the key, narrowed his eyes, and appeared on the first floor of the tavern, and then appeared directly outside the tavern.

He waved his hand at the chief guard who wanted to speak. After making several gestures, roughly explaining the current situation, Dean closed his eyes slightly. The special perception given by [Heart Ruzhi Water] allows him to carefully search for special vibrations within a radius of one kilometer.

Since we want to verify the traitor, we must have definite evidence.

Especially the Assassin organization like the ‘Brotherhood’ will do it meticulously.

An organization that is good at assassinating and creating chaos, looks very ironic and funny about its internal harshness.

But it is precisely because they know the disadvantages of having no rules and disorder. There will be such strict laws.

So, Dean, who was trained in the "Brotherhood" in the previous life. Apart from the ‘bait’ in the tavern, Dean must have an observer.

Moreover, it will not be too far!

And Dean’s only hope is that the observer will ‘observe’ to the end instead of choosing to leave at the beginning.

All the noise and sounds are leaving.

Dean was completely immersed in the state of [Heart Is Still Water], everything disappeared from his eyes.

The rest is a mirror-like ‘water’!

It's like lake water.

And ripples continue to appear above--

The sound of birds flapping their wings.

The footsteps of soldiers on patrol.

There is also... a ripple that is extremely shallow but extremely spaced.

"it's him!"

In an instant, Dean opened his eyes and chased in the direction that the figure was advancing. The speed was extremely fast, but there was no sound coming through, and the Chief Guard, who wanted to catch up immediately, had to slow down.

The Chief Guard of the Grand Duke, known for his strength and physique, had not learned similar tracking skills.

Perhaps under the burst of power, her speed was not much weaker than Dean, but the sound she made... it was simply demolishing the house.

And now, obviously shouldn't make such a big movement.

After all, they were following an assassin.

The chief guard followed Dean patiently. Although Dean was no longer visible, the marks that Dean left behind were enough for her to follow along.

"There is a temptation, so... if it goes well this time, you will definitely find the big fish!"

The chief guard thought so surely.

The steps under her feet became more and more careful-she did not allow this operation to fail because of her own fault.

After walking through the streets and alleys and bypassing several gravel paths, near the edge of the civilian area, the chief guard stopped.

Her gaze swept around ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to find and confirm the mark Dean left behind.

However, at this moment, a huge roar suddenly occurred in the distance——

boom!

The flames blazed everywhere, and the flames rose into the sky, rolling up thick black smoke.

Several silhouettes are looming in it.

ps first more~

Today is a special situation. Decadent was bitten by a dog again...

I went to the epidemic prevention station again in the afternoon. Fortunately, Decadent has reached the fourth shot of vaccine. Just treat the wound and finish the fifth shot...

However, this time and again, it was delayed for two hours!

Although decadent has been using mobile phone codewords in the car, but the speed is a bit horrible...

This is the first chapter, and the second chapter is being written~ (to be continued)
