Chapter 387 Ye Weiyang (VI)
At the same time
Salamun, beside the canal in the old city, outside the [Eight Claws] Tavern
Cassie walked lightly from a The oak barrel came out from behind, and the whole person seemed to be integrated with the shadow. , with all the magic crystal lanterns on the roadside extinguished, this master assassin's stealth skills have been brought to the extreme. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly approached into a vague silhouette. Ba Zhao] Tavern, which is the only light source within a hundred meters.
Cassie secretly tore open the scroll in her hand and established contact with a mage's eye that exuded a light blue light. Without the need for magic activation, the mental power alone was no less than With Futaba, he can easily master this low-level arcana.
He cleverly blocked the Mage's Eye with his left shoulder, pressed against the wall and maneuvered the latter to quickly go around to the magic crystal lamp behind the [Eight Claws] Tavern, and adjusted his perspective to face the back door. The series of operations combined took less than fifteen seconds.
The magic crystal lamp that is purely used for lighting will not be completely extinguished immediately after the supply of magic power is interrupted, because the elements in the crystal have not yet dissipated completely, so there will be a period of dying in the middle. There will still be hazy light seeping out, and the duration varies depending on the quality of the crystal, ranging from a few minutes to a few hours.
So hiding the originally dim mage's eye in the lampshade will hardly arouse suspicion. The only side effect is that the 'sight' will be blurred, but it is useful for monitoring whether someone sneaks through the back door of the tavern. Slipping away has almost no impact.
After adjusting the angle of the mage's eye, Cassie stared at the door of the tavern while taking out an eyepatch from the belt compartment and covering it on her left eye, allowing the eyepatch to establish a connection with magic. His pupils were not affected by the real scene. He raised his hand and wiped his hair, turning it into a straw-like yellow color through some means. Finally, he took out a small jar of ointment and carefully applied it on his face. Apply it...
Two minutes later
After finishing her disguise, Cassie no longer concealed her presence, but walked into the tavern naturally.
His skin color has darkened slightly, and there are a few hideous scars on his face. The light black leather jacket on his body turned into dark brown at some point, and the dagger originally hidden in the dark sheath Hanging on his waist openly, he looks like a powerful thief or a professional of the same type.
A waitress with dark circles under her eyes came up to her and said with a wry smile: "Sir, most of the people here are ordinary people. Maybe the [Decapitated Bear] tavern to the east will be more to your liking. .”
In other words The meaning is very simple, that is, their tavern is not the kind of place where good and bad people are mixed, and nine out of ten customers are a gathering place for professionals. Whether Cassie wants to chat with the same kind, find the same kind of blowjob, find the same kind of fight, or find the same kind of people to do business. , not very suitable here.
“A glass of ginger beer.”
Cassie shook her head, flicked a silver coin into the waitress's collar, and walked to a table in the corner: "I like silence. Those places can easily make people feel irritable."
Although not It fits his character, but the role Cassie plays now requires him to put money into other people's career lines, so he did it without feeling any discomfort.
This taciturn beast elf is a person who is easily underestimated. Whether he is with Archduke Rhino of the Fire Claw Territory or when he is following Futaba here, he is very Easily ignored, despised, and most of the time, Lewin didn't even have a presence as an auxiliary diplomat, but in fact, the man who could command the Fire Claw's top shadow guard was much stronger than he looked.
If we were serious about fighting head-on, Futaba, who had suffered many losses for Cassie, was no match at all. The old man next to Grand Duke Crystal Wolf who looked like a master was not even as good as him.
He will be looked down upon by others just because the nature of his job requires him to be looked down upon and ignored.
It is precisely because Cassie is so powerful that Futaba, who is very aware of this, sends him out to monitor the collaborators or henchmen of the Marshall family.
This time, Cassie, who was well prepared, successfully followed the opponent, and in the process was not discovered by the mysterious orc woman at all.
The target is two tables away...
[Observe her movements first, then capture her alive if you can, and kill her if you can't. 】
Cassie played with the dagger casually, looking around this tavern with a stern expression, where only ordinary civilians came to have fun, and looked at everyone unabashedly.
The fundamental purpose of disguise is to prevent others from recognizing oneself, so under this premise, the greater the contrast, the better. A servant pretending to be a noble, a scholar pretending to be a villager, or a man pretending to be a woman are not good choices, except for those with extraordinary talents. Endowment, or learning and wealth, Or for those who are naturally beautiful, the greater the difference between the type of role they play and themselves, the easier it is to be seen. In most stories, those magical plots in which a beard and breasts are a man, and a wig and foundation are a woman. In reality, 99% of them will be beaten! The kind of beating that involves yelling at MDZZ and kicking her in the face!
As for Cassie, this disguise is relatively safe. He is good at assassination, guarding, and covert combat. It is not easy for him to cosplay as a thief. He also needs to cover up his identity as a beast elf and slightly modify his appearance. Some modifications are naturally difficult to recognize if they are calculated mentally or not.
The orc woman sitting not far from the counter didn't notice him at all. She just drank the drink in front of her silently, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Cassie is very patient. At this distance, he is absolutely sure to kill or control the opponent, so rather than taking action directly, he is more inclined to observe for a while, and maybe...
Cang!
At this moment, the orc woman suddenly stood up, and her movements were so large that she overturned the chair.
With almost no time to think, Cassie pulled out the dagger from his waist, stepped on the shadow step and appeared behind the other party in an instant. Although he didn't know whether the other party had noticed him, he had already lost him once. I can't afford to gamble...
However -
"Pfft!"
The orc woman who stood up suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her whole body was covered with blood. Before being controlled by Cassie, he had already fallen to the ground. Small red and black blood columns overflowed from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. His eyes were full of pain and confusion, and he stopped breathing in the blink of an eye.
【What's going on? ! 】
Even the experienced Cassie was stunned for a moment, but he did not hesitate for too long. After confirming the death of the other party, he stood up suddenly and took out a badge from his pocket. He slapped it on the counter and said with a gloomy expression to the frightened boss behind the counter: "I am the Viscount of the Empire. Someone will handle this matter soon. No one is allowed to leave before that!"
The last sentence was addressed to everyone present.
"You are not allowed to leave here, and you are not allowed to touch that body."
Cassie emphasized again, consciously releasing a ray of murderous intent: "I have already remembered your looks, very soon. Someone will come here soon, and they will let you go after checking, but if someone ignores my warning just now..."
He didn't finish his words, he just snorted, and then rushed out of the tavern, speeding towards the direction of the Crimson Garden!
Until then, the waitress’s scream filled with fear was delayed across the night sky. ……
At the same time
Salamun, Trade Area, Main Hall of Iron Gate Court
Archduke Fernandez sat uneasily on the soft cushions in the center of the hall, his shiny and sparse head covered with beads of sweat. He looked at the uninvited guest in front of him with some evasive eyes, and his voice trembled: "So, you... Well, you belong to Grand Duke Buffy..."< br>
"Yes, I am a loyal servant of Duke Buffy Marshall."
The stern-faced man nodded slightly and saluted Archduke Fernand in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "If you excuse me, please Forgive me.”
Fair. Grand Duke Nan waved his hand in a low voice and whispered: "No, it's nothing, I'm just a little surprised that you... you will come here so late, don't disturb, don't disturb."
The other party chuckled. With a sound, he stared at Feier, whose face was a little pale. Archduke Nan said in a deep voice: "Marshall and Fernand have been friends for generations. This time, Master Buffy is caught up in the villain's conspiracy and is about to face an unfair trial. I don't know how Archduke Fernand plans to stand. Which side do you want to vote for? ”
"Uh..."
Archduke Fernando's face froze. He didn't expect that the other party would go straight to the topic as soon as he came up. Without any psychological preparation, he could only stutter and said: "Well, I ...Our two families do have frequent contacts, and Buffy and I have a good relationship, but this time... everyone said that Buffy was guilty at the time, and the lizard man said so much, even if you want me to express my position... Me too..."
The man smiled casually, shook his head and said: "Dear Lord Duke, with all due respect, what you just said is not the point, neither for you nor for Lord Buffy. Speaking of which, none of them."
"Then what's the point?"
Archduke Fernan frowned and said with sweat on his face: "Yes. A few days of trial is just..."
The man lowered his voice and listened, and after realizing that the former was gone, he said leisurely: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually not complicated at all. After excluding those complicated and confusing things, there are only two simple points left to consider. , first, if the Fernand family sided with the Marshall family and voted for observation, what would you get and what price would you have to pay; second, If the Fernand family voted for sanctions and chose to stand against the Marshall family, what would you get and what would it cost, that's all, so why do we need to complicate something that is very simple?"
Archduke Fernando seemed to be trying hard to calm down his expression, but with little success: "You...what do you want to say?"
"I'm just helping you analyze the situation for Lady Buffy."
The man's tone was very gentle, completely opposite to his cold and stiff face, as if there was a kind of magic that could make people calm down quickly: "Now let's assume that if you vote for 'observation', not only will you get a huge gift, but Grand Duke Buffy will definitely remember your gift. In the future, we will help each other in all aspects. Whether it is human resources, financial resources, or combat power, the Marshall family can be Fernan's solid backing. Compared with these, the possible drawbacks are minimal~"
Fei When Ernan heard the word 'disadvantage', he shook unconsciously and said calmly: "Tell me about it."
"First of all, the Fire Claws will be unhappy about this, but it doesn't matter. After all, their territory is separated from Fernand by an entire Marshall Territory. Their economy and combat power are average, so even for you, the Fernand family Being dissatisfied is just 'dissatisfaction' and has almost no real effect." The man shook his finger and continued talking: "Besides, if the Crystal Wolf family and the Baroka family also vote. If there is a sanction vote, you may also have some opinions, but you should also know about the unwritten rules of 'trial'. The Fernand family only plays a role within the rules, and it will not attract hatred at all. As for Duke Simon, who is also a good friend of Buffy, hehe, maybe he will thank you from the bottom of his heart."
Grand Duke Fernand nodded slightly, and then asked hesitantly: "Then. What if I...well, just hypothetical, hypothetical that the Fernan family votes for 'sanctions', what will happen next..."
"Of course, I know this is just a hypothetical, you don't need to be nervous"
<. br>The man nodded slightly and smiled: "If the final result is still 'observation', then the only loss for the Fernan family is the loss of a gift. Other than that, there is no loss, and they will even win the Fire Claw." Or the friendship of the Crystal Wolf family, but..."
His face turned cold, startling Archduke Fernando, and he almost shouted to the guards to come in and get the person.
"But if the 'sanction' votes account for the majority, then maybe nothing will happen to the Crystal Wolf Territory and the Baroka Territory. After all, they are far away from the Marshall Territory." The man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: " Of course it's not really far, but at least it's farther than Fernando. So if there is no room for maneuver, we will have no choice but to fight to the death. The first people to be implicated will be our neighbors, the Fire Claw and Fernan families.”
Archduke Fernand slipped right off the mat.
“Oh, that’s right.”
The man tilted his head slightly and added: “Maybe the Hussein family will also get involved, Buffy My Lord, I heard that Archduke Scorpius has coveted the two mines in your hands for a long time."
Archduke Fernan shuddered and opened his mouth to say something...
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
A deep and deep voice suddenly sounded from outside: "A man named Anthony Dabbs came to ask for an audience."
Fernand was stunned for a moment, and then quickly Turning to look at the man next to him: "I didn't..."
"I know, you don't have to think too much."
The man raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed playfully...
"Why don't you let him come in and have a chat? Of course, I will avoid it as if I have never been here."
