Chapter 227 Confessions of the Assassin Poison Scythe

My name is Poison Scythe.

This is my codename and my name.

I am a disciple of Gibkenseth, the deceitful god. Shadow is my partner and light is my enemy.

My hands were extremely dirty and stained with blood, and my body was smelly and ugly.

The things I have done may not even be understood by the most benevolent and pure Saint Iluli Camilla. My final destination is to die in a smelly ditch.

However, I have no regrets because I had no choice.

This is my only way to survive.

Now I am loyal to the Qadir family - because the price they offered is high enough to buy many lives - certainly not mine.

I train family warriors for them and train them in the art of assassination. I know this will kill more people, but when a person can only protect himself, what do the lives of others matter?

They are just things I exchange for survival value.

Half a month ago, the acting patriarch, Mr. Charles, gave me a task to assassinate a guy named Tang En.

He is a lord.

Coming from a place called Ellington - what the hell is Ellington? Never heard of it.

But that's not important. What's important is that as long as I kill him, this excellent dagger worth 100,000 gold coins - the Curse of the Night, will belong to me!

Although I am only a ninth-level silver-level assassin, with this excellent-level dagger enchanted with the magic-breaking effect, I can definitely kill even a first-level master level magician!

After all, the masters of the first level have just awakened to the realm. With my superb stealth skills and the divine shadow step given by the god of deceit, it is enough to bypass the warning spell and kill the magician with one blow before he can open the realm - -Everyone knows that the magician is the biological son of the gods, but the assassin who can shadow step is the magician's biological father!

However, when I took my teammate's head to No. 77 Queen Street, I was very sorry to find that Twain was not here - what a pity, a head was wasted.

Later, I received information that Tang En seemed to have left Yalinks ahead of time and returned to Ellington. This was such a coincidence. In order to complete the task, I had to take a group of burdens with me and take a carriage to Ellington. —I mean, bring a bunch of teammates with you.

The reason why I say it's teammates rather than heads - is to make them feel at ease. I have noticed that their fingers are trembling slightly, and they look at me in unfriendly ways. This is not a good sign. I can only I only have this urge when I want to kill someone - bless the god of deceit, I hope they are not trying to kill me.

In order to make them relax, I moved my hand away from the dagger. Hey, look, it was just a small move and they relaxed. I am such an understanding leader - I swear in the name of the gods, I am really I don't want to kill them and use their heads to get close to Tang En!

I definitely didn't mean that!

You see, I've let go of my weapons, haven't I? I'm certainly not the unscrupulous person.

Assassination is an art, and one technique can only be used once on the same target. Although I didn't succeed last time, I don't bother to use the same technique repeatedly - I believe that you, as an assassin, can understand this. Art, right?

The atmosphere in the carriage returned to calm.

Everyone is very restrained, which is good. They are all assassins loyal to the Qadir family, and there is no need to kill each other.

Oh, of course, I'm not afraid of them, they were trained by me, and I know very well what they are good at, so of course I won't be afraid of them attacking me.

I think my meaning has been expressed clearly enough. Don’t get me wrong. I am not targeting anyone. I am saying that these people here are all rubbish.

Of course, I am the exception.

In order to enhance the authenticity of the disguise, we blended into a carriage heading to Ellington. There were more than a dozen people crammed into this large carriage. In addition to us, there were two poor couples with children. They were listening to the news. He said that as long as he was willing to work in Ellington, he could have enough to eat and get a house, so he sold his family property and decided to try his luck.

This damn world is driving people to a dead end!

In addition to the two couples and children, there were also several refugees. They seemed to have finally begged for enough fare, and they also wanted to try their luck at Ellington. There were many carriages along the way, and almost everyone inside them That's the purpose.

Haha, it’s really funny. As long as you work, you can have food, clothing, clothing and a house to live in?

How could there be such a place in this world?

Scam, that lord Tang En must be planning some kind of scam, perhaps an evil ritual that requires the lives of many people to be sacrificed?

The driver driving the carriage is of course one of ours. He disguised himself very well, with his big red nose, spots on his face, dirty beard, and stooped waist. He must have studied disguise very carefully. I I should give him full marks, especially for his intoxicated look when drinking. He really has his usual demeanor in the pub. Even I was fooled - wait a minute! drink wine?

damn it! I clearly said that alcohol is prohibited during missions. I must teach him a lesson and let him understand - Oh my God! damn it! This coachman is not mine! ? He is actually a coachman! ?

Where are our people! ? Where's the guy who was supposed to play the role of the coachman! ? Did he get drunk again before setting off and missed the opportunity to set off! ?

To be honest, now I'm angry!

As soon as I got angry, some of my "teammates" - you see, I'm talking about teammates, not really strange things like heads - they became very nervous. It seemed that I really gave them a big favor. Stress, relax, I have to relax.

Hey, if you think about it carefully, the guy pretending to be a coachman didn't have much of a mission, right? We just have a carriage ready outside the town to pick us up after we succeed. The mission can still be completed without him.

Thinking about it this way, I felt much more relaxed.

"See Ellington!"

At this time, I heard the drunken shouting of the coachman, and the shaking carriage suddenly became extremely stable. I almost thought the carriage had stopped, but when I looked behind me, I realized that it was not the carriage that had stopped. But the road has become smoother.

The carriage was still moving forward - and faster, but the smooth road made the carriage not bumpy at all.

Not far away, you can still see many people shouting around several huge mechanical structures. As the mechanical structures advance, the rugged and uneven ground becomes very flat, and the second mechanical structure follows. From behind, it sprayed out a lot of black steaming things, and the third mechanical structure flattened those black things on the road... What were they doing? paving?

I can not understand.

As the carriage moved forward, more and more scenes came into view, and a lively and busy town came into my sight. There were few idle people on the streets here, and almost everyone I could see was in a hurry. When moving goods, I was holding some strange things and measuring something.

Strange, this place is really strange.

Ellington...a place I have never heard of. It should be a very barren and desolate place, but why is it so lively?

Construction is going on everywhere here, and the busy people's faces are glowing. They don't have the sallow complexion of those in the Yalinks slums. They seem to be living a very happy and fulfilling life.

"Dear! It seems we came right!"

"Ellington should be able to take us in, and the children won't starve to death this winter!"

The couple next to them were so excited that they cried with joy. It turned out that they were worried that their children would starve to death if they couldn't get food during the winter, so they came here. How pitiful.

The few refugees in the carriage who were struggling to survive also had a glimmer of hope in their eyes - wouldn't it be fun to destroy their sanity at this time?

Oh, no, my right hand is so hot. My killing instinct must be kicking in again. I don’t know how many people will die this time!

"We're at the place, get off the car!"

The coachman stopped the carriage and shouted for the passengers to get off. In order to hide it from others, I...well, "we" got out of the car with the refugees, and then I saw a table next to it, with several people sitting on it. Have tea and chat there.

oh! By the gods! I actually saw dwarves and gnomes!

They sit with humans drinking tea and chatting! ?

Who would believe it?

"Another batch has arrived?"

"There have been more and more foreigners lately."

"It shows that the Lord's policy is indeed correct. Our Ellington's popularity is getting bigger and bigger."

"Come here to register! Register your name, age, gender, education level, and what you are good at. Then go and get the subsistence allowance first. After eating and washing your stomach, go to the dormitory to sleep. We will make arrangements for work tomorrow!"

In order not to attract attention, I gave a secret signal to a few of them and decided to sneak in with the refugees first.

Soon I came to the dwarf.

"May I have your name?"

"poison--"

I had an idea: "——Duranden!"

"Durandon!?"

The dwarf's eyes widened.

He must think the name is awesome, right?

"What a great name! What a sweet boy!"

Look, he really thinks so!

"Hearing this name, it's like seeing my son obediently reporting the numbers in front of me, hahahaha——"

What happened to this dwarf?

Why do you suddenly feel like something is wrong?

But I finally managed to sneak into Ellington's dormitory.

When they all went to eat, I left the dormitory quietly - I can sneak, it's just so casual.

As an assassin, after arriving at a destination, of course you must first gather information and become familiar with the terrain. Otherwise, how can you carry out the mission?

But why did Ellington enter the woods before he even took two steps in this shabby place?

"It's so distressing...why doesn't big brother come to play with me recently?"

Hey!

Look who I found?

A lonely little loli!

It is a secondary target in the intelligence!

The little girl next to Tang En is Ilia!

I could try to capture her!

But there's also a huge bounty for killing her!

This is a great opportunity! No one will know what happened!

I decided to sneak up on her quietly!

Just use the Curse of the Night to cut off her head!

"If big brother doesn't come, I feel boring..."

Big brother? Tang En?

"Although eldest brother told me not to practice casually, but there is no one now, it doesn't matter if I practice magic a little, right? Huh? You think so too?"

Who is she talking to?

What did I hear?

Practicing magic?

"New spell? What is that?...Okay, okay, let me try it, oh, is this the direction - arcane torrent~biubiubiu~"

“Boom, boom, boom, boom—!”

Poison sickle, death.
