The golden name table was carved with intricate flower and bird patterns, the wide Malthus wood chair armrests were decorated with pure gold, the floor was covered with thick beast skin carpets, and the glass magic lamp above the head emitted a soft light.
This was an extremely luxurious aristocratic living room.
A short and fat man stuffed his whole body into the chair. The man's head was half bald. I don't know if it was because of drinking or excitement, but his greasy face was flushed.
The old butler Arthur had met in the evening was standing behind the short and fat man with his hands down. From the old butler's respectful attitude, it can be guessed that this person was Earl Milne.
What really surprised Arthur was the person sitting opposite Earl Milne. It was a man dressed in black, and even at night the man wore a black leather half-face mask.
That black suit, that mask, Arthur will never forget it!
Arthur had no news about the mysterious killer organization for two years. Sometimes Arthur even thought that the other party had forgotten him. Unexpectedly, he saw the other party again just after leaving the army.
What puzzled Arthur even more was how Milne could be associated with this assassin organization? Before this, he had always thought that Milne was targeting him because of the dispute over the succession rights of the Palmer family.
Arthur's brain was spinning rapidly, and intermittent voices kept coming out of the room.
"Your Excellency, it has been confirmed that Viscount Jiang of Fuel Town is the target that the organization has been looking for, Arthur Hiller. Please arrange for someone to get rid of this boy as soon as possible to relieve my hatred." Milne gritted his teeth and said. Because of anger, he couldn't help but raise his voice, and Arthur outside the door heard it clearly.
"This matter cannot be rushed. I rushed here within a day after receiving the information. I need to confirm my identity and whereabouts again, and report to the Lord to determine when to act." The voice of the man in black was very light, and the tone was plain.
"Isn't the organization too cautious? Even if Arthur has some achievements on the battlefield, he is at best a lieutenant warrior. A few sets of 'killing' knives can solve it, right?"
"You are wrong. Although Arthur is only a lieutenant, the secrets involved in him are not even for people of my level to know. Because of despising him, the organization lost two commanders and all their subordinates two years ago."
Earl Milne took a breath. He didn't expect that Viscount Jiang next to his territory was such a difficult guy. If he had known, he would not have let Muzak lead the team to humiliate himself.
The man in black continued, "In fact, we received news that he was in the Snowstorm Corps a long time ago, but due to the gathering of generals and warriors in the army, we have not taken action for the sake of safety, so this time we must ensure that it is foolproof."
Milne drank the wine in the glass and sighed, "Then I will tolerate him for a few more days."
"Not only do you have to tolerate him, but you also have to create opportunities for organizing this action, find ways to stabilize him, apologize to him or invite him to a banquet, etc. You know these methods better than me."
Milne's fat face trembled and revealed a sneer, "Envoy, don't worry about that, I will make him die without knowing how. But I can't understand, what is there in Arthur that is worthy of the organization's attention? "
The black-clothed man's originally calm tone suddenly turned cold, "You work for the organization, and the organization has not treated you unfairly over the years, but you must remember the rules you should know, and don't ask about things you shouldn't know, because some secrets will make you die faster after knowing them. "
"Yes, the envoy taught me." Even though Milne was an earl, he was humble in front of the envoy of this mysterious organization.
"Okay, I will arrange the next action, you just need to not show your feet and hold him back." After the black-clothed man said this, he stood up and was ready to leave.
"The envoy, please stay in the castle tonight, I have arranged everything." Milne flattered.
"I appreciate the earl's kindness, but the organization has rules."
"In that case, I will send the envoy." Milne stood up and walked to the door with the black-clothed man.
"What should I do? Let him go or attack?" Arthur, hiding outside the door, had to make a decision in an instant.
"My Lord, please." Milne smiled and opened the door.
At the moment the door was opened, a figure flashed in, and a blue light flashed on the blade of the seventh-level short knife "Wolf Kiss Blue", heading straight for the throat of the man in black beside Milne.
The spirit of adventure once again influenced Arthur's decision. Since the other party had come to the door, he had to strike first and never give the other party a chance to ambush him. No matter what level the black messenger on the opposite side was, Arthur decided to take a risk.
Arthur's attack was too sudden. Milne and the man in black didn't expect that the door would be opened, and they would be suddenly assassinated. Milne was stunned on the spot, and he didn't even have time to react. But the man in black, as a killer, never relaxed for a moment. In a flash, he leaned back and let Arthur miss.
As Arthur's right hand knife missed, he raised his left hand and threw a second-level dark magic "Ball of Weakness" on the man in black. At the same time, he turned his right wrist and changed from cutting to stabbing, stabbing the man in black's heart.
After dodging the knife, the man in black stepped back with his left leg and kicked forward with his right leg, preparing to kick Arthur away with his foot.
But the "Ball of Weakness" hit him right on the spot, and the momentary feeling of weakness slowed down his kicking and dodging speed. Arthur's short knife took advantage of this opportunity created by a millimeter difference and stabbed into the man in black's body.
When the short knife entered the body, Arthur felt the resistance from the tip of the knife. The other party was wearing close-fitting armor!
The armor still failed to block the stabbing of the seventh-level weapon, but it also saved the man in black's life, because the resistance prevented the blade from instantly piercing the man in black's heart.
The man in black pulled Milne over to block him in front of him, and at the same time retreated quickly.
Arthur kicked Milne over with one foot, and when he raised his hand, a large piece of black mist rose up, instantly covering himself and the whole room in the black mist.
Because the dark magic element penetrated his body in the battle of Sigh Canyon last year, dark magic has now become Arthur's most proficient magic besides fire magic.
"Dark magician!" The exclamation of the black-clothed messenger came from the black mist.
"Help, there is an assassin!" Milne shouted for help in the black mist. After the initial panic, he remembered to call for help at this time.
Milne only shouted twice, and the cry for help stopped abruptly.
The black mist rolled, and black tentacles wrapped around the man in black.
The man in black covered his chest with one hand, and in the other hand, a black pointed short sword was inhaled and exhaled, cutting off the black tentacles one by one.
A figure rushed over from the side, and the short sword in the black man's hand burst out with fighting spirit, shooting out dozens of sword spirits at once, and the fighting spirit skills covered the whole body of the figure rushing over.
There were continuous sounds of "PU, PU", and the sword energy kept entering the body, but there was not even a scream from the other side, and a short and fat corpse fell in front of the man in black.
"Oh no, I've been fooled!" The thought flashed through the man in black's mind, and Arthur had already jumped up from the ground, and the wolf-kissed dark blue short knife stabbed into the man in black's body again.
