The Emerald Tower

Chapter 121 The Hidden Part II

It is not a strange thing at any place and at any time that black eats black, and cranes and clams compete to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Even, most of the time, those who walk in the shadows think it is kind of lucky.

However, Dean does not think that his previous situation is in line with the situation of black eating black——

First of all, his previous performance was not damaged by the battle.

Even, it is right to say that it is unscathed.

Secondly, his battle with the stalkers of the 'Brotherhood' was very sudden, and he didn't show any special items, treasures or the like.

One side is unscathed, showing the strength of invulnerability, and there are no items or treasures worth thinking about.

Undoubtedly, anyone who wants to be black and black will not choose such a goal.

Unless it's...with hatred.

And the Dean at this moment is definitely not the Dean in the previous life—the Dean in the previous life can be said to have enemies everywhere, but now, it seems that there are only two of Dean who can be called enemies.

Aside from the one far away in the emerald capital.

Only the nephew of Baron de Fendi, who was traveling with him, seemed to be left.

And more coincidentally, the other party is still a wizard.

A coincidence can also be explained by chance.

What about two?

Only necessity remains.

The identity of the remaining hidden person seems to be locked.

Then the next question came up—Curd Defendi appeared there, why?

Dean would not believe that the other party was waiting for him specially.

After all, all signs indicate that the meeting between the other party and him was a coincidence.

"Perhaps we should 'repay' the nephew of Baron de Fendi..."

Such thoughts emerged instinctively from the bottom of Dean's heart; however, before again, Dean had other things to do——

【Warrior lv2→lv3】

[+0.2 Strength,

+0.1 Constitution, +0.1 Dexterity, +0.1 Perception, +0.1 Will]

After consuming 144 experience points, the class level increased again, and it happened to be an odd level, the characteristics of the warrior class, so that Dean gained 0.1 perception and willpower.

[Strength: 3.02; Dexterity: 2.80; Constitution: 3.30; Perception: 2.60; Will: 3.20]

Dean glanced at his attributes at the moment, and then was overwhelmed by the pain surging from the depths of his soul.

Tightly pursing his lips, Dean swallowed back all his groans because of pain and soreness.

And after all the pain and itching disappeared, Dean stood up again, feeling that there was no stagnation in his body, he quickly changed the underwear soaked in sweat, and put on his assassin lining again. , coat, and cloak, Dean disappeared from the room again.

...

The nephew of the Baron de Fendi was not in his room.

This made Dean confirm his guess once again from the side.

Then, without hesitation, Dean returned the same way again——

The guards patrolling back and forth in the distance explained why Chuld De Fendi had not returned for a long time.

Obviously, those two corpses that hadn't been dealt with in time had already been discovered by those patrolling guards, and it was obviously not suitable for Chuld Defendi to appear under the watchful eyes of everyone.

After all, it is definitely not a good omen for an aristocrat who is subordinate to the foreign domain to appear at the scene of a murder.

Whether it is the people or the Marquis of Vauban, suspicion will arise.

And this is definitely not what the nephew of Baron Defendi wants to see.

What's more, Dean can be sure that Chuld Defendi hurriedly left his residence in the dark and appeared in the lower city, definitely not for no reason, and there must be some 'involvement' in it.

And once these 'involvements' are discovered by the Marquis of Vauban, it will make the other party and the other party's uncle, the Baron de Fendi, more passive.

Dean naturally didn't mind taking advantage of these 'involvement'.

However, the premise is that he needs to figure out the ins and outs of the matter——

Dean watched the patrolling guards begin to move the corpses. He was sure that the patrolling guards had already asked around, but Chuld Defendi and the person he wanted to meet did not show up; The number of guards must be more than that, at least double it.

After all, Churd de Fendi was invited by the Marquis of Vauban anyway, so he must be treated with caution.

As for the person Chuld Defendi wants to meet?

Dean saw a carriage parked in the adjacent yard not far away—although it was covered with a black cloth, it was a strange thing for such a carriage to appear in the downtown area.

Therefore, Dean can be sure that the person the other party wants to meet also has a rather extraordinary identity.

At least, this is the case in Vauban.

At the same time, Dean can also be sure that the appearance of the carriage here must require a reasonable explanation-after all, it is impossible for those patrolling guards not to see such a big thing.

"The coachman of some great man..."

Dean thought so deeply.

Undoubtedly, Chuld Defendi wanted to see this great man.

As for what?

Dean already has some guesses in his heart. After all, such things are not uncommon in the circle of nobles.

In order to build a good relationship with their own county king, and even know some trends, it is very common to win over people around the lord. Almost every lord in the county will do similar things.

Even Tilling is no exception.

At least, during the banquet, Dean could clearly see that the lady of the baron's family and some people around the Marquis of Vauban were very familiar.

Obviously, this is a level that can only be reached after a long-term friendship.

There is no problem in attracting each other.

However, after the banquet just now, we met in the middle of the night.

Such a situation made Dean have to think more.

However, what Dean is thinking more about at the moment is the "handling method" for Chuld Defendi-an accident obviously cannot be covered up.

After all, he had no way of knowing if there was anyone beside Chuld Defendi when he did it.

If the person who was in secret conversation with Chuld Defendi was also there, then this accident would obviously expose him completely.

So, if you want to be unnoticed.

Even the big man who had a secret conversation with Chuld Defendi also needs to be 'disposed'.

Dean doesn't apologize for that.

After all, the enemy's ally is the enemy to him.

Slowly, Dean quietly walked through the shadows, slowly approaching the house.

The identity of Chuld De Fendi wizard made Dean have to be more cautious - some methods of wizards are really mysterious, and Dean, who has suffered several losses, never dared to relax his vigilance.

And in the next moment, Dean was once again thankful for his caution.

Within his line of sight, in the corridor of that house, a magic crystal the size of a thumb was quietly blooming with an abnormal light—it was no longer that faint blue, but black.

Even, with his excellent [perception], Dean was able to see that this black magic crystal was not embedded in the door, but was suspended out of thin air.

"Magic Alert!"

Dean recognized the spell with familiarity, and then he backed away slowly at the same speed as before - with [Magic Alert], any person or creature approaching would be recorded and the spell would be triggered.

And once touched, the people in the room will naturally be alerted.

Therefore, the front of this building must not be approached.

At least, with Dean's current strength, once he gets close, he will definitely be discovered.

So, after a while, Dean appeared behind this building——

A man dressed as a servant was guarding there, and the long sword around his waist showed that the other party was not a simple servant.

And the pace of the other party's walking, the aura unintentionally revealed, and the strong body all showed the identity of the other party's knight level.

"The knight's servant..."

Once again, Dean became a little interested in the person Chuld Defendi asked to meet.

after all,

Even in the city of Vauban, it is definitely not common to have servants and bodyguards of knights, and if this is placed with the various lords of the county, this is completely the treatment of the lord himself.

Coupled with the previous carriage, Dean naturally placed the other party's identity in an important position in Vauban County.

After thinking about the possible changes in Vauban City and the impact on himself if such a guy is killed, Dean clenched his sword hilt—although there will be some changes, but with the Tyr land Dean didn't think that anything would happen to him as the identity of the leader of the Feichalun Knights was used as a cover.

At least, it won't be any worse than it is now.

Although he didn't do anything special on the black market before, he just mailed letters, but it is a fact that he killed the "Brotherhood" people afterwards.

Once Chuld Defendi reveals this news, he will undoubtedly face the pursuit of the 'Brotherhood'.

The only luck is that he didn't kill any of the Vauban guards.

Otherwise, the Marquis of Vauban will definitely appear on the list of hunting him down.

Moreover, it is the kind that spares no effort - for any county king, killing his own guards, such an "insult" is obviously intolerable.

Therefore, whether Dean is now trying to avoid the pursuit of the "Brotherhood" or to clear up future troubles.

They all need to kill Chuld Defendi and the other party's allies.

Quietly, Dean approached the knight-level guard. He aimed at the opponent's back, and ensured that he could cover the opponent's mouth immediately.

Dean is on the move!
