Chapter 190 Female Assassin
Facing the female assassin recommended to her by Ezio, Perfectcourt touched her left hand. She strangely put a silk glove on her left hand today. gloves, but his right hand is still exposed.
The reason for this is that when she came back from the Democratic Parliament Square that day, someone threw a bottle of ignited fire glue at her, causing burns on her left hand.
Although it was not serious, and the attacker was captured by the Steam Knight immediately, the safety issue of Perfect Court was still highlighted.
In the past, she was just an ordinary orphan girl from a baron's family, and she was protected by an old housekeeper. In addition, she later made a knight-level maid puppet herself, and safety issues posed a problem for Purficott. Talking was never a problem.
But this time, an attacker was actually able to attack her under the protection of the Steam Knight, and even caused burns. Even if it was only a minor burn, it was a warning reminder for Purficott.
Because of this, when Purficott treated the injury on his hand, he did not remove the scar. Instead, he kept it to remind himself not to be careless.
After all, Perficott is now the culprit who destroyed the capitals of the three countries and bore millions of blood debts. France, Ross and Saint Romulus, there are too many people who want to take revenge on her. .
"Although there is no shortage of guards around you, those knights will always miss something. As assassins, we know this best." Ezio explained to Perficott, seemingly Worried that she is unwilling to accept this arrangement: "My sister is the best assassin in the Assassin Brotherhood. If it is just about assassination, her ability is even better than mine.
And she is one of the few assassins in the Assassin Brotherhood. There are many female assassins who have taken on the task of protecting important targets before and are very experienced in this area. You can be much safer with her.”
"It sounds like I have no reason to refuse?" Perficott did not refuse Ezio's arrangement, and stretched out his ungloved right hand towards his sister Claudia: "Hello, I hope We can get along happily."
Looking at Purficott's outstretched hand, Claudia looked at her deeply before holding it.
Feeling the softness and delicacy of Purficott's palms, Claudia had an unreal feeling, because she knew that it was these hands that created the thermobaric bomb that destroyed the capitals of the three countries and killed It also displaced millions of people.
"I will do my best to protect you. You will not be harmed by the darkness and shadows before I fall." Claudia didn't seem to say much, and after finishing speaking, she just said: I made a simple introduction: "I am good at using hidden swords and throwing knives. I am proficient in concealment, poison and assassination. I am only responsible for protecting your safety or you want me to help you kill someone."
For Purficott, Claudia's perception is quite complicated. After all, she is also considered a high-ranking noble of the empire. In a sense, she is a past enemy of the Assassin Brotherhood.
However, now, through Ezio's mediation, the Assassin Brotherhood wants to cooperate with Perficott.
Even with the relationship of Purficott's parents, this still feels a bit unreal, especially since Purficott is now acting as a person who is completely on the side of the royal family and the government. Hardcore royalists, which are in great conflict with the long-standing beliefs of the Assassin Brotherhood.
However, Claudia also knows that if the doomsday crisis is true, then maintaining the stability of the country is the way to save more people. There is nothing wrong with Purficott supporting the royal family and the government. .
But Claudia felt that she should have a deeper understanding of this talented girl who had a life outside her home and had mixed reputations. "I probably won't let you help me kill someone, so just be responsible for protecting me." Purficott also felt that he needed to use an assassin to end someone's life and wanted to kill someone. There were just too many other ways for her.
But she still had other ideas about an assassin, so she also added to Claudia: "By the way, do you mind if I check you out? I'm still very curious about assassins. If I have a chance, I want to see what you are capable of."
"If you need it." Claudia did not refuse. After all, she also knew what Purficott's parents were good at, and the girl in front of her was no less good. Her parents' top alchemist.
After talking about this, Purficott picked up a box from the table next to him and handed it to Ezio.
"What is this?" Ezio took the box but did not open it immediately.
"It's your hidden sword. I strengthened the material on it, then improved the mechanical structure, and modified the musket part. It should be better to use now than in the past." Perfico Te briefly introduced, then looked at Claudia: "If you need it, I can also help you improve and customize a pair of hidden swords."
When they shook hands just now, Purficott had noticed that Claudia was wearing hidden swords on both wrists.
"I prefer to use poison instead of hidden swords to kill targets." Although Claudia did not refuse, she was not interested in it.
However, Ezio opened the box immediately and saw a beautiful black metal arm guard.
He took out the arm guard, checked it carefully before putting it on his right arm, and then popped out the hidden sword according to his habitual action.
Feeling that the hidden blade was lighter and more flexible than before, Ezio couldn't help but praise: "As expected of Mr. Brandlis's daughter, this craft is great! But why is it black?"
"Black matting, so that the target will not be exposed in the dark night." Purficott explained simply, with a little dissatisfaction on his face: "Father doesn't know what he thinks, but he actually did it on your original arm guard. With a layer of mirror polish, didn’t he think that the reflection would be very dazzling when it encountered a torch at night?”
“Perhaps this is his purpose?” Ezio didn't dare to say anything. After all, Purficott was the daughter of Mr. Brandlis. It didn't matter what she said about her father. If an outsider said the wrong thing, the consequences would be serious.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Purficott waved his hand, then pointed at the hidden sword that Ezio had installed on his right hand and said: "I removed the musket on it and modified it for you. It became a miniature crossbow, which can fire special silent arrows more quietly and more dangerously.
In addition, I also added some other functions, the details of which are written in the instructions in the box. "You can study it yourself." Purficott looked up at the clock in the corner and saw that it was getting late, so he shook his head and said, "It's getting late, I should leave for the north."
