Chapter 115 The Assassin from Stuart (3K) [You triggered the mission Assassination from the Shadow (C-level)] [You were assassinated by unknown spies. They came from your hometown of Stuart. These spies were instructed by someone, and there seemed to be some secrets hidden behind them...] [Mission objective: Kill these spies] [Task Reward: 5 Experience Points, 10 Gold Coins] The task panel popped up in front of Lear. Lear just took a look and closed it. He was used to it. Roberto's expression turned gloomy, things were beyond his expectations. The information clearly showed that Stuart's heir was only a mid-level wizard, but which wizard had such a terrifying incarnation? Moreover, the opponent's own magic fluctuations were obviously not at the intermediate level, and there was also that black and purple rapier. Even at such a distance he could still feel a sharp aura. Roberto took a deep breath, was silent for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said to his companions around him: "Do it!"
Upon hearing the order, the other two spies rushed forward without hesitation. Lear did not move. The incarnation of blood beside him rushed forward. Bright red life-binding shackles appeared in the darkness and wrapped around the two of them. The two spies were very skillful and knowledgeable. The sudden appearance of the chains startled them, but they reacted quickly. The power of the law of war on their bodies fluctuated, and their speed suddenly increased, quickly bypassing the incarnation of blood. Li Er looked at the other party's actions and realized that he was a very experienced spy. He was not like Mori who had professional skills but very low combat effectiveness. They are professionals who have truly experienced combat. However, mid-level professionals are still mid-level after all, and are not worth mentioning at all. A faint blood color flashed in the eyes of the blood incarnation, and the blood resonance was activated. The two spies who passed the incarnation of blood and rushed towards Lear suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, and the blood in their bodies seemed to stop flowing. This feeling did not last long, but it was enough to stop the actions of the two. Then the life-binding shackles wrapped around them again. This time, the two had no ability to resist at all and were directly wrapped up like a dumpling by the life-binding shackles. When the two recovered from the feeling of suffocation and wanted to struggle, they found that their strength was rapidly fading. Not far away, Roberto's expression became even uglier as he looked at the two people who were tied up after just one encounter. Just one incarnation easily dealt with two mid-level spies without even making any big moves, and even the original body didn't move. As a good spy, when you judge that you cannot defeat the enemy, you will evacuate immediately. A spy is a profession responsible for investigation and assassination, and there is no need to fight as hard as a berserker. After just a moment of thought, Roberto turned around and burst out with terrifying speed. He actually ran away. Looking at Roberto's escape, Lear found it a little funny. He narrowed his eyes, and the blood swirled in his hands, then wrapped the Night Rose. A terrifying and hideous blood-red rose appeared in his hand.
He raised the bloody rose, and the bright red light turned the heavy sword into a spear, and then Lear threw it out with force. Roberto ran desperately. The intelligence was wrong. The heir of Stuart in front of him was not a mid-level wizard at all! He thought to himself, but the next moment, a buzzing sound came from behind, and Roberto's hair stood on end. He looked back and saw a bright red light rushing towards him like red lightning, carrying the breath of death. Roberto instinctively used his strongest means of saving his life and forced his way out. A high-level spy skill that removes the control effect on oneself, forcing oneself into an unselectable detached state that lasts for one second, and moves one hundred meters in the selected direction. The moment Roberto activated his skill, the blood spear pierced through his body. Feeling the violent force, Roberto was frightened. The next second, his body appeared one hundred meters in front of the right. Roberto breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to speed up his escape, but before he could feel at ease for a moment, the bright red spear a hundred meters away turned and stabbed at him again. Death Thorn Piercing has the attribute of a guaranteed hit, so escaping like this is completely meaningless. This time Roberto didn't have time to react. The spear pierced Roberto's shoulder straight through, carrying Roberto all the way, crashing into several large trees, and finally stuck in a tree trunk. Roberto's face turned pale, and the health bar above his head dropped significantly. Li Er smiled at the scene, then instructed the blood incarnation beside him to bring Roberto back. The three spies were captured by Lear without any resistance. The incarnation of blood tied Roberto with life-binding shackles, and the bloody rose had returned to Lear's hands. The hideous hole on Roberto's shoulder showed how terrible the blow just now was. Blood continued to flow from Roberto's body. If he didn't have the physique of a high-level professional, he would have died long ago. "What happened?" Millia and her two daughters, who were resting in the tent, were also awakened by the sound of fighting. "Nothing, just three assassins." Lear smiled. "Assassin?" Milia's eyes widened. Li Er nodded without explaining, but looked at Roberto, "Now can you tell me, who sent you here?" Roberto was silent. Having been a spy for so many years, he knew better than anyone what would happen to people like them if they were caught. Even if they told Lear the truth, the other party would never let them go. Who would let go of an assassin who wants to kill them? "You will never know. How can you, a person who has betrayed the laws of war, be qualified to return to Fort Faro and inherit the glory of Stuart?" Roberto said sarcastically with a miserable smile. As he spoke, he suddenly chewed something in his mouth. After about three seconds, his body began to tremble and dark blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Without giving Lear a chance to interrogate him, his health bar began to drop madly and finally emptied completely. Roberto actually committed suicide! Li Er frowned slightly. The other party committed suicide so decisively that he didn't even have time to stop him. He looked at the other two spies again. Their bodies began to tremble like Roberto's. In a very short time, the blood bars above their heads were emptied, and they turned into two dead bodies. These are a high-level spy and two mid-level spies, not just any random people. In the whole Stuart, there is only Albert, an extraordinary-level war knight. Apart from Albert, high-level professionals are the strongest! But now the other party committed suicide without hesitation. Who could make a high-level professional willing to commit suicide for him?
Lear was silent. [You have completed the mission Assassination from the Shadow (C Rank)] [You gained 5 experience points and 10 gold coins] Millia and the other two girls also showed expressions of fear when they saw this scene. The way the three people committed suicide was still somewhat creepy. "Lear." Millia grabbed Lear's sleeve. "It's okay, they just committed suicide." Li Er came back to his senses and smiled indifferently, "You go and rest, it's okay now." As he said that, he pulled Milia and the other two girls back to the tent. After comforting the three women, Lear returned to their bodies and searched their belongings, but found nothing useful, only some coins. He used the Night Rose to cut off the heads of the three people, took out a wooden box from the storage ring, froze the heads of the three people with frost spells, and put the heads into the wooden box. Since the three men came from Stuart, Lear planned to wait until he arrived at Fort Farlow to investigate the three men's background. High-level professionals must not be unknown people in the Faro Fortress. After settling everything, Lear returned to the carriage. Ophelia also woke up, looked at Lear and asked, "What happened?" "It's none of your business." Lear shook his head. Oufengina gritted her teeth, snorted coldly and turned her head away. There was no conversation that night, and the second half of the night was calm. As the sunlight shone through the outside of the carriage, Lear and his companions packed their luggage and set off again. What happened last night was just a small episode. Although Lear felt it was a little strange, he didn't care much about it. This was the confidence given to him by his own strength. In the following days, the group did not encounter any more danger. They walked and stopped, and finally arrived at the Faro Fortress a week later. …… Fortress of Faro. It is located in the southwest of the Kingdom of Brefil, bordering the Kingdom of Knox in the south, and in the west is a series of continuous decisive mountain ranges with a large number of magical beasts and monsters. This is the largest city in the southwest of the kingdom. Its area and prosperity are comparable to that of the Royal City of Brayfield. People here believe in the laws of war, the customs are simple, and the residents are very strong in combat. Because they have to defend against the beast tide in the Decision Mountains every year, the War Church awakens the laws of war for the residents free of charge every year, which has led to a large number of professionals here. As the carriage gradually approached the Faro Fortress, the towering city walls were completely different from those of the Royal City. They looked more majestic and more solid. Lear recalled his memories of his previous life. He had been here before, and he was shocked when he came here for the first time in his previous life.
The atmosphere here is completely different from that of Brayfield. There is no such deeply rooted class distinction between nobles and commoners. There is only one noble family here, the Stuart family, although there are many knights under the family. But most of them were born as commoners and then received knighthood from the Stuarts. They manage public security in all parts of the fortress, and there are rarely cases of bullying. Because the War Church helps civilians awaken their affinity for the laws of war for free, people here will go to the Fortress Arena to settle their grievances when they have a fight, using duels to resolve conflicts. But this does not mean that there is no darkness here, it is just much better than other cities. Simply put, Farrow Fortress and Brayfield Royal City are two completely different places. In the previous life, some players joked that Stuart's territory is another kingdom with complete autonomy and self-control, and it is a country within a country! (End of this chapter)
