Translator: 549690339
This was supposed to be a joyous occasion. be it the peddlers on the streets or the singers in the brothels, all of them were immersed in the joy of the triumphant return of the Empire’s army. Even the heavens were giving face to the clear skies, not a single bit of gloom was allowed to affect this grand joy.
However, there was always a shadow under the light. Among the cheering crowd, there were some people who wore red cloaks. Their expressions were cold and indifferent. When they looked at the excited crowd, the corners of their mouths would even curl up into a mocking smile, it was as if they despised their ignorance.
Among the group of people who wore red cloaks, two of them had the strangest appearances. They were tall and big, but their figures were stooped like that of an old man. The strangest thing was that under their cloaks, their appearances were abnormally handsome, they looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth. Their skin was pale, so white that there was not a hint of blood. Their emerald-like eyes looked extremely demonic.
“Are you sure you want to do it today?”One of the two asked in a voice that was even older than an old man who was about to die. It was so hoarse that it was a bit ear-piercing.
“Only today can we do it!”The one who answered was a female voice, but it was also old. It was like two extremes compared to their appearance.
“At this moment, all the security in the imperial city is on this celebration. As the commander, Rox must also be in the military formation. Although the two young masters of the Feier family are in the palace, the security is at its weakest. Rox is not here, and all the generals of the empire are leading a team to maintain security. If we don’t do it now, we won’t have a chance to do it later.”
“What you said makes sense…”
“Wait a minute…”suddenly, the female voice said faintly, “Roman, look at the left rear position. That person… is he looking at us?”
“Huh?”The green pupils of the person called Roman contracted slightly. He turned his head and looked over. Under the sunlight, he instantly locked onto Brother Dog in the noisy crowd.
Although the woman did not mention the characteristics of the other party’s clothes and hat, he still locked onto Brother Dog at the first moment. Although this person was extremely thin and weak, he gave him an inexplicable sense of threat.
“Is it that Kid?”Romon lowered his voice. “Is he a scout from the Empire?”
The woman said, “I don’t know. Judging from his footsteps, he doesn’t seem like a scout. Should we test him out?”
“Be careful… I think that kid isn’t simple…”
The woman nodded, pulled her cloak, and walked straight towards Brother Dog.
Brother Dog looked at the other party and saw that the other party had taken the initiative to walk over, so he stopped in his tracks and maintained his vigilance. He wasn’t sure if the sound he heard just now was from these two people. After all, he wasn’t an assassin, it wasn’t easy for him to be able to find the source of the sound amidst such a noisy sound. It would be a little difficult for him to completely determine the location.
The reason why he looked at those two people was because the two of them in the crowd looked more conspicuous.
Under the morning light, the woman walked towards Brother Dog at a leisurely pace. Her gait was graceful. Although she didn’t seem to be in a hurry, the space she pulled was unusually fast. There were still so many people blocking a distance of dozens of meters, however, she felt as if she was about to reach him in the blink of an eye.
It was an assassin!
Brother Dog instantly determined the opponent’s class. This was because he had fought with those elves many times in the base, so he was very familiar with this kind of footwork technique.
However, the opponent was still quite lacking compared to those perverts in the base. Regular elf assassins would sometimes jump over from a distance of several meters, and their eyes couldn’t keep up at all, although the person in front of him had some strength, after brother dog got used to the agility of those elves, he appeared to be a little slow.
Clang!
Following the sound of an undetectable weapon leaving the body, a silver light flashed under the woman’s wide cloak. The instant she flew past brother dog, the angle and timing of her attack could be said to be perfect.
A quarter of a second later, the two of them passed by each other. The woman’s figure slightly stabilized as she praised, “Your Excellency, you have good skills!”
Just now, when they brushed past each other, the other party had only taken a light step to dodge the short sword in her sleeve. The tip of the sword had brushed past the other party’s neck and was less than a millimeter away from her. Facing an assassin like her.., such a confident movement indeed made her admire him a little.
Not only did this require extremely high judgment, it also required a powerful aura. This was clearly a person who was extremely confident in his own skills.
“Who are you people?”Brother Dog asked with a cold face.
“These words are also what this lowly one wants to ask…”the woman lowered her head and said in a low voice, “There doesn’t seem to be such a person like you on the list of the Empire’s generals. Could it be that you are from overseas?”
“This has nothing to do with you…”brother dog frowned slightly. The reason why he did not make a move was because his battle style was not suitable for him to display in such a large crowd. The second reason was because he could not determine the other party’s identity.
If it was an official figure of the empire, it was definitely impossible for him to make a move openly.
“This is also what we wanted to say to you. Although I am curious about your identity, since you do not wish to say anything and we do not wish to meddle in your affairs, please do not meddle in our affairs. If you obstruct us, you will definitely regret it…”
As he spoke, he blended into the crowd and instantly disappeared without a trace.
“Wait!”Brother Dog turned around and wanted to chase after him, but he couldn’t see his figure in the vast sea of people. When he turned around, the other red-robed man had also disappeared. He was instantly anxious, he hurriedly sent a private message to the two developers and asked, “Where are the two of you now?”
A few seconds later.., one of them replied, “What’s wrong? Do you feel bored on the streets and want to come to the palace to play? I told you that parades are boring. Do you want to come now? Papaya and I are playing cards with the maids and sisters. Whoever loses will take off their clothes. It’s very interesting!”
Brother Dog:”…”
Why not… Let those two guys die?
After thinking for a while, he finally said, “Is Pu Yunchuan with you guys?”
“You mean brother G?”The developer said, “He’s so drunk that he probably won’t even recognize his own mother. He’s having so much fun with this guy.”
“You guys… weren’t you playing cards and dragging clothes? Why are you drinking again?”Brother Dog frowned.
“Yeah, brother G lost all his underwear in the fourth round. He could only drink and dance to pay his debts. Don’t tell me, that Guy Can Dance like an elephant, but his trunk is a little small.”
“Go to Hell…”.
Brother Dog cursed silently in his heart.
However, thinking about the importance of these two guys’identities, even though they could be reborn if they died, rainy without melon’s plan to inherit the throne would probably be ruined…
So in the end, he still said, “Wake that guy up quickly, someone wants to assassinate you.”
“Eh? No Way, where did you get the News?”The other side was suddenly a little nervous.
“I heard it on the way. A group of guys in red cloaks. I fought with one of them and they were pretty good. Judging from their tone, the assassination seems to have begun. Quickly hide!”
“Holy Sh * t, are you serious? Are you bluffing us?”
“I’m bluffing my ass!”Brother Dog laughed angrily. “I’m warning you two, those young ladies who are playing cards with you might be killers!”
Pumpkin, who was chatting with Brother Dog, suddenly changed his expression. Then, he carefully looked up at the maids who were smiling and playing cards with them…
He didn’t know if it was because of Brother Dog’s words, but he suddenly felt that these young ladies’smiles were very sinister… …
