"He is about to die, but he is still so indifferent. It really breaks his heart."
"..."
One-eyed girl's mouth curled up slightly, feeling that this Aozaki Touko was really a drama queen, but she didn't react at all.
"I'm going to kill the assassin now!"
If she said that, she would push Aozaki Touko away and go after the girl who had just been assassinated. Even if such a small character was allowed to escape for a year, she could easily catch up and crush her to death.
However, Aozaki Touko had no intention of letting her leave. He stretched out his hand to pull Othinus, who wanted to leave. Her delicate and exhausted face revealed a trace of pity.
"Compared with hunting down assassins, I have an unfulfilled wish!"
"..." Othinus stopped and said in a cold voice, "Speak quickly, otherwise, the wound will heal on its own."
"My wish is for you to give me a loving kiss~"
Aozaki Touko bit her cherry lips slightly, her expression revealing a bit of tenderness and unwillingness.
Hearing this, One-eyed girl thought expressionlessly for a second or two, and then pushed Aozaki Touko in front of him away.
"Your wound... has healed."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left without ceremony.
This is not a lie. Although the assassination dagger has a curse that prevents the wound from healing, the curse has no effect on Aozaki Touko at all.
If Aozaki Touko intends to speed up the recovery of injuries.
He will probably be healed in just one breath.
"Please cooperate with me a little bit."
Aozaki Touko smiled helplessly, and quickly caught up with One-eyed girl's departure. She did not feel any unspeakable anger at the assassination of the girl. Of course, this did not mean that she would not fight back with revenge.
However, this is... the task that Mage's Association should do.
"Hmph, it makes me willing to help you take revenge." One-eyed girl walked forward indifferently, and heard a haughty voice, "Human, you should be happy about this. Such a gift... no one else wants it."
"Oh... that's really an honor."
Aozaki Touko smiled and trotted side by side to One-eyed girl. Their silhouettes stretched very long under the street lights and slowly disappeared at the end of the street.
Soon after.
Several cloaked figures appeared, and they gathered at the place where Aozaki Touko was assassinated. They looked at the ground that was originally stained red with blood, but now it was clean without a trace.
"It seems... even the blood has been processed quietly."
A man in a cloak knelt down and stroked the white snow, "It seems that our assassination is totally meaningless. This woman Ivy is very strong."
"Compared to these, I feel...Ivy seems to have discovered us."
A trembling sound of fear suddenly came out, and a woman with a straight figure was outlined under the cloak. Her body could not help but tremble. She clearly remembered... she was glanced at intentionally or unintentionally by Ivy.
That feeling... even made her think about death.
"Is this possible?" Someone asked, "If Ivy found us, why didn't they choose to kill us, but left as if nothing happened?"
"Perhaps, they just don't care about us little characters."
Someone comes up with their own idea.
"No, that's not the case!"
Suddenly, the man in cloak with a calm voice spoke seriously, "Perhaps Ivy has consumed a lot of magic power to heal his injuries and has little ability to fight anymore, so he didn't attack us!"
"It makes sense. If we go after Ivy now!" Someone said with excitement, "Then we are very likely to succeed in the assassination, as long as we don't call in Ivy to protect him."
"Yes, that's it!"
The cloaked man with a steady voice nodded slightly, "Now let's set out to hunt down immediately, as long as we must kill Ivy before Ivy's guards arrive!"
"Understood!"
Several cloaked men looked at each other, and immediately nodded in tacit understanding and began to chase. They must kill Ivy, the president of the Mage's Association, as soon as possible before Ivy's guards arrive.
The next day.
Early morning in London.
In a remote alley.
"Ahhh... he's dead!"
A homeless man in torn clothes ran onto the street with a frightened expression. He saw several people in cloaks and their bodies were thrown neatly into the corner.
Chapter 536: Who is stronger, you or her?
Vampire Western Mansion.
(Ivy-sama who is thinking... is so beautiful.)
Anisha Marshall was wearing a white ceremonial dress, her delicate white hands gently held her golden hair beside her ears, and she secretly glanced at Mr. Ivy who was on the sofa opposite, reading the information seriously.
As a subordinate, you should know not to disturb your boss's thinking, not to mention that in the eyes of people in the 'True Magic world', Lord Ivy is their master.
Although there is no difference between Master Ivy and her master now.
"The conflict is getting more intense."
Aozaki Touko looked very calm, flipping through the information that had just been sent to her. Shortly after she established Mage's Association, she inevitably had conflicts with some Mage's Societies. In the process, she brought some Mage's Societies into her sphere of influence, and also reached cooperation with some powerful Mage's Societies.
However, there are still irreconcilable conflicts with some Mage's Societies...
There are many reasons for the conflicts, but they are nothing more than conflicts of interest. The rapid expansion of the Mage's Association, which seizes the ownership of some high-quality spiritual veins, also has an impact on the business of some True Magic masters.
For example, the True Magic masters from the Mage's Association used the power of the Mage's Association to forcibly seize the market for medicine, magic potions, Spirit Gear, exorcism, and divination. They were directly forcibly cutting out a big cake under the old world structure.
The consequences of all these are... the income of some True Magic teachers has dropped significantly.
As a result, irreconcilable contradictions arise.
And this was the reason why she was assassinated by True Magic division last night.
Probably, she is now to many True Magic teachers.
He is the character of an evil devil.
"This is... something that can't be helped." Anissa spoke with a respectful voice, "Master Ivy, according to intelligence, the remnants of the old era have begun to secretly gather near London, planning to kill you and defeat Mage's Association's headquarters."
There was a trace of ridicule in her voice, which was a mockery of those True Magic masters who overestimated their capabilities and actually wanted to overturn the development of the Mage's Association when the situation was already established. However, who would have thought... There have long been a large number of traitors within these remnant parties of the old era. They directly betrayed the time of action of these remnant parties of the old era, what True Magic they wanted to use, and how to allocate their manpower.
Those remnants of the old era who want to resist are like dancing in the palm of the Mage's Association.
"... How does it sound? It feels like I have become a villain." Aozaki Touko smiled, picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip. "However, since it is such a role positioning, then I can't send my subordinates to give experience one by one, and just take action personally... kill them all."
"Sigh... Master Ivy wants to take action personally!"
Anisha Marshall looked startled, and subconsciously put his hands on the table and stood up, "This is too dangerous. If Mr. Ivy is in danger, it will be a devastating blow to the Mage's Association..."
She is no longer an ordinary little character. With the development of the Mage's Association, she now has the power to easily destroy her own vampire family.
However, these all have a premise.
That is, Lord Ivy must be safe and sound. If something unexpected happens to Lord Ivy, then she who relies on the authority of Lord Ivy will be swarmed by countless people.
Pulling her down directly does not belong to the status and power she deserves.
Therefore, whether it is to taste the blood of Lord Ivy in the future, or to continue to sit on that fascinating throne of power.
She sincerely hopes that Mr. Ivy is safe and sound.
"Showing strength... is also conducive to the internal stability of the Mage's Association, right?" Aozaki Touko chuckled and raised a finger, "There are many people inside the Mage's Association who question my strength, and even ambitious guys have begun to tentatively weaken my influence in order to gain more rights from within the Mage's Association."
"... I'm sorry, Lord Ivy." Anissa lowered his head in shame, his voice a little angry, "Now there are indeed some voices questioning you within the Mage's Association."
Although she has been doing her best to strengthen Master Ivy's authority in the Mage's Association, because Master Ivy has never shown any strength and rarely appears in the eyes of the Mage's Association people, this has caused some True Magic masters to question the strength of Master Ivy.
Of course, these doubts... are not just popular opinions.
"Don't worry about this." Aozaki Touko smiled softly, waved his hand and said, "Next, as long as we deal with the remnants of the old era, all problems will disappear. Just go and spread the news that I am going to take action."
"I understand, Master Ivy."
Anissa stood up and performed a skirt-raising ceremony, and then hurriedly left the living room. The time for those remnants of the old era to take action was only three days later, so she had to seize the time to make arrangements.
For example, if Mr. Ivy shows overwhelming strength, then he should brag hard and spread it to every corner of the world in the shortest possible time, so as to further extend Mr. Ivy's influence.
However, if Mr. Ivy performs poorly, then she will do her best to suppress public opinion, try her best to ensure that Mr. Ivy's influence does not weaken, and try to divert attention as much as possible.
All in all, she has a lot to do.
"..."
Aozaki Touko looked at Anissa leaving with a smile on his face. Although this little vampire was very good and had nothing special about him, he was very easy to use. With just one look, Anissa could instantly understand whether he was going to pour tea or warm the bed.
at the same time.
In the ghetto.
A man in a white cloak with gold embroidery was walking alone on the dirty streets. He was somewhat out of tune with this dirty environment.
The overly luxurious and noble clothes set off the abjection and filth of the slums.
"... Hiding in a place like this seems to be the limit."
The man hidden under the cloak made such an indifferent voice, and immediately turned around and walked into the dark alley. After turning a few corners, he walked up to a girl wearing a red cloak.
The girl leaned weakly against the damp wall. The air that was difficult to circulate was mixed with the smell of thick blood, and a dazzling pool of blood gathered on the slippery ground.
This girl... suffered nearly fatal injuries.
"It looks like... you are about to die." The man declared coldly, "What a pity, that woman Ivy is not weak at all, and your risk-taking assassination is meaningless."
"... I already know." Girl in Red Cloak smiled sadly, "The True Magic division sent by the Mage's Association to hunt me down has already told me about this."
After she assassinated Ivy last night and escaped, she was frantically pursued by the Mage's Association. Even if her friends came to support, she was quickly killed by the Mage's Association's True Magic division.
After a night of escaping, she was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
It won't be long before Mage's Association's True Magic divisions will arrive, swarm her, kill her completely, and take her head back to claim credit.
"What do you think of... that woman Ivy?"
The man asked the girl.
"I have quite a lot of thoughts." The girl in the red cloak smiled, "But what a pity, Edward Alexander, my thoughts probably have no meaning to you. That woman revealed too little information. The most I can say is that... that woman is really hard to kill."
"Yeah, I understand."
Alester nodded slightly, then turned and left the alley. He had no intention of rescuing the girl at all, he only came to ask for some information.
As for the girl's life and death... it's not within his scope.
It can even be said that he does not want to save the girl. Now this girl can be said to be the target that Mage's Association must kill. If he saves the girl... he will face huge pressure from the Mage's Association.
This is... not a good thing for him.
"Ah... I really want to see you and Ivy fight."
Girl in Red Cloak tilted his head, looked at Alester and said, "Who is stronger among you? Many people are curious about this."
"..."
Alester did not answer and disappeared into the shadows in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, the girl in the red cloak curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and immediately looked up at the blue sky. She had already heard the footsteps surrounding her, and she had less than half a minute left to live.
Really unwilling, she clearly pierced Ivy's abdomen with the magic blade.
That's...Spirit Gear who cannot be cured once stabbed.
Chapter 537: If you don't betray, you won't have a chance.
Three days later.
night.
The dark clouds in the sky were so thick and sticky that they seemed to block out all the moonlight. The wind and snow were like a dragon breathing furiously, running unscrupulously through the streets and alleys, making a whimpering sound.
Under such circumstances... no matter what you do, it's not easy.
Even if it is a sweatshop that breaks bones and sucks marrow, it is rare to take a break. This lively London city has become quiet like a stopped clock.
