Chapter 372 Under the Shadow II

Dean and the Archduke Swordsman passed through the small Earl of Merry very quickly, and came to a relatively quiet courtyard——

"This is Meri's residence... Are you sure that the current Meri is a 'Brotherhood' pretending to be?"

The Grand Duke's swordsman pointed to the courtyard, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

When walking together, Dean briefly explained the ins and outs.

And the archduke swordsman, who had already had doubts, had no doubts about Dean's statement that he trusted.

However, some concerns remain.

And the Earl of Merry himself was the one most in need of attention.

If it's really the 'Brotherhood' in disguise, it's fine, but if it's a mistake...

Thinking of the situation at that time, the Archduke Swordsman couldn't help but frown.

"Ok!"

Dean nodded affirmatively.

"Then let's go!"

After the Archduke Sword Master looked at Dean again, he strode into Miss Merry's courtyard.

This courtyard is in line with the entire residence of the Earl of Merry. It is small and simple, except for a small extra flowerbed, there is basically no more decoration.

In the main building in the entire courtyard, there are very clear footsteps.

Dean and the Archduke Swordsman rushed straight to the main building without hesitation, and pushed open the door——

"Sister Yitris!"

Still wearing the plain long dress, Miss Meili was frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

However, looking at the Grand Duke Sword Master who pushed the door and entered, he was inexplicably surprised.

but. After seeing Dean again. Miss Merry's complexion changed. The whole person rushed towards Dean suddenly, his dark palms pierced into Dean's eyes.

Clang!

The Grand Duke Swordsman watched this scene, without hesitation, he drew his sword out of its sheath,

Directly pointing at the heart of this 'Brotherhood' assassin.

Dean also pulled out his long sword and pointed it at the opponent's throat.

However, there was a deep sense of uneasiness. But lingering in his heart.

Although everything seems to be as he inferred, but he feels that it shouldn't be so simple!

The [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] in Dean's hand couldn't help but slow down, and at the same time, he saw clearly Miss Merry's eyes - dull and empty.

Immediately, a terrifying idea appeared in Dean's heart.

"stop!"

Dean yelled loudly.

The [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] in his hand immediately turned to the side, and at this moment, the tip of the Grand Duke's long sword touched the vital point of Miss Meri's vest.

Moreover, seeing that Dean was attacked, the archduke swordsman with all his strength had no intention of keeping his hand.

Therefore, this time. unstoppable.

Dean, who deflected the long sword, quickly grabbed Miss Merrie with his left hand who had jumped in front of him. Then, she turned violently, then turned over one by one, and hugged the other party directly into her arms.

Then, with his back to the stabbing long sword——

laugh!

The long sword pierced the vest, and immediately, it brought out a touch of bright red.

"Dean, Dean, are you okay?"

The Archduke Swordsman let out an exclamation.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little bit of skin!"

Dean waved his hand, then looked down at Miss Merrie in his arms.

At this time, Miss Merry had already passed out, but her breathing was still very steady. Dean looked at the opponent's hands.

It was pitch black.

It's like the secret body training technique [Poisonous Hand].

However, if you look closely, you can still see the difference. The feeling from the inside out and the feeling of being painted are different in the final analysis.

"It's ink! Is she really Merry?"

After examining it carefully, the Archduke Swordsman frowned and said.

"Well, it should be!"

Dean nodded, then took a long breath and said, "The real Miss Merrie has always been under the control of that female assassin—with Miss Merrie's physique, a simple illusion can confuse her, while the other party uses Miss Meili's appearance appeared in front of us. When I killed her three times in a row, she gave up this identity and left me a trap... If I really kill Miss Meili, I think Meili The Earl will never let it go!"

Everyone knows that the Earl of Merry has only one daughter, and she loves her very much.

If Dean really killed Miss Merry, even if there were some entanglements in the middle, a dead-or-me duel was absolutely inevitable.

"Then...the previous attack and the ink on his hand were all arranged by the opponent—what a cunning opponent!" The Grand Duke's swordsman frowned, and then he let out a long breath: "Fortunately, Dean, you found out It's timely, otherwise, we really have a hard time arguing!"

"It's just that I found something wrong!"

Dean shook his head slightly, then lowered his head and carefully looked at Miss Merrie in his arms.

At this moment, in the bottom of his heart, there is still a thought.

That is, is what he experienced in front of him true or false?

Is this Miss Merry the real Miss Merry?

Or, the disguise that the previous female assassin continued?

With the means of the 'Brotherhood', it is absolutely easy to play such a controlled noble lady.

Similarly, it is extremely simple to crack such a method - only one sword is needed to prove the truth of it, but...

Dean looked at Miss Merry, finally frowned and let out a long sigh.

"Are you worried?"

The Archduke Swordsman obviously guessed the reason for Dean's sigh.

"Ok!"

Dean nodded without concealing it.

"Leave it to me! I have some methods to verify whether Meili is the real Meili!"

The Grand Duke Swordsman said so.

Dean glanced at the archduke swordsman in surprise. The latter blushed slightly and said coquettishly: "Everyone has some secrets, and some secrets are common!"

After finishing speaking, the Archduke Swordsman picked up Miss Merry from Dean's arms, and walked carefully towards the bed.

"give it to you!"

when it comes to secrets. Dean walked out of the room very consciously.

Looking at the closed door. Dean stood in the courtyard and waited quietly.

And a moment later. The exclamation of Miss Merry waking up came from the room, and then...a gasp that made Dean raise his eyebrows.

Almost subconsciously, Dean moved again, moving a little further away from the room.

"This is the common secret?"

Dean smiled wryly in his heart, then lowered his head to look at the flowerbed in front of him, trying to distract himself as much as possible.

In the flower garden in front of me, there are no precious flowers. Most of them are flowers that are grown by ordinary people.

It can be seen that this Miss Merry has completely inherited the simple style of the other party's father.

Thinking about the few simple pieces of jewelry on the dressing table in the other party's room before, Dean couldn't help admiring the character of this Miss Merry.

Then, subconsciously, Dean thought of the gentle face of the other party, and the weak appearance of the archduke swordsman.

At this time, the panting sound in the room became louder and louder.

Suddenly, Dean moved again.

And this time, the movement has come to the entrance of the courtyard, and in order to keep himself calm. Dean turned his back to the courtyard and looked outside.

only. The voice still pierced into Dean's ears pervasively.

This made Dean couldn't help but smile bitterly.

And just when Dean let out a wry smile——

A cold light appeared behind him, piercing Dean's vest.

The sense of crisis between life and death made Dean react instantly!

However, it was too late to turn around at this time!

[Sharp Thorn of Gale Wind] With the scabbard, he stabbed backwards. A layer of frost directly wrapped the long sword with the sheath, with a bone-piercing coldness covering his back.

Ding!

That cold light, at a turning point halfway, hit the scabbard wrapped in frost.

Immediately, the cold air spread towards the opponent's wrist and body through the scabbard as the medium.

Feeling the biting coldness, the attacking assassin drew back quickly.

However, for this sudden assassin, Dean would not let him leave like this——

Whoosh!

Affected by the frost, the opponent's speed dropped sharply, causing the long sword in Dean's hand to catch up with the opponent in the next moment.

Ding!

There was another crisp crash.

White traces of frost began to appear on the opponent's wrist.

Ding!

When the third crisp collision sounded, the opponent's wrist was completely covered in frost, and the dagger in his hand fell straight to the ground.

clang!

The moment the dagger fell to the ground, the [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] in Dean's hand rested on the opponent's neck.

"Gardis, my lord will avenge me!"

The assassin yelled, and then, he directly rubbed against the blade with force.

Pooh!

Hot blood spurted from the neck.

The assassin slowly fell to the ground.

After a few twitches, there was no more sound.

"Gardis?"

Dean frowned, muttering the assassin's last name.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the commotion outside, the Grand Duke Swordsman ran out quickly—it was just the Grand Duke Swordsman wearing a coat, with a flushed face, which was more and more conspicuous under the silver-white hair.

Moreover, a different kind of charm began to emanate from the Grand Duke's swordsman at this moment.

"Should be an assassin from the 'Brotherhood'!"

Dean withdrew his gaze, began to search for the assassin in front of him, and then deduced.

"He came for you?"

The Archduke Swordsman asked with some doubts—the appearance of the 'Brotherhood' before was due to the employment of the Mobius Ring, but now that the Mobius Rings in the three southern counties have been temporarily cleared, the 'Brotherhood' is absolutely It would not be like this to still cling to Dean without getting paid.

"It's not me, it's someone else - I'm being made a scapegoat!"

Dean narrowed his eyes.

...

And on a hill far outside Meili City, a burst of light laughter resounded——

"Killed me three times in a row, how could I not repay you? Your Excellency Zergon, fight Hures well! I look forward to your performance!"

A slender figure was talking to himself.

Then a gray air current blew past, and the people on the hill disappeared without a trace.
