Assassins
"Hey you over there, don't bump into my Crystal Candelabra. It was made by Master Husky himself."
"Earl Okote said unhappily."
"Yes, yes, Earl Excellency."
The guard held the candlestick with trepidation, moving it slowly as if afraid of causing the slightest bump.
"Splash!"
The Crystal Candelabra fell and shattered on the ground.
The guard stared at the Earl, his Big Mouth involuntarily, his face filled with terror.
"Count, Earl Excellency."
"Damn bastard! Can't you understand what I'm saying? That's Crystal Candelabra personally crafted by Master Husky!"
Earl Okote was instantly enraged, his beard bristling. He strode forward and grabbed the guard by the chest, lifting him up.
The guard trembled all over and pointed behind Ocott.
"Sir, sir, there's someone behind you."
"What?"
Earl Okote was still angry, but he still instinctively turned his head.
"Splash—"
Another crisp sound rang out, but this time it was the sound of a glass window shattering, and shards even hit him.
Several strange men dressed in tailcoats and with pale faces barged in. They smelled faintly of blood and had eerie smiles on their faces.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Earl Okote panicked and immediately let go of the guard's hand, his tall and fat body trembling slightly.
The Lang Li Bai Tiao shouted menacingly, "Robbery!"
"Are you kidding me? I am Earl Okote.Sauer!"
"I'll beat up the Earl!"
The Lang Li Bai Tiao sneered and approached step by step, dagger in hand.
"They are the enemy!"
"Quickly, guards! Come and protect me!"
"Where is Alyosha? Where are you? Come out now!"
Earl Okote was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, crawling backward on his hands and feet, howling in panic.
However, when he turned around hastily, he was terrified again.
In just a few moments, all of the dozen or so elite guards present fell into pools of blood, without making a sound.
Almost every one of their corpses had a Vampire standing beside them, and one of them even licked a bloodstained knife with his tongue in a particularly affected manner.
It turns out the Vampire had already infiltrated the mansion.
All his guards were dead.
At the entrance, there was a corpse clad in gleaming plate armor, with poisoned arrows piercing his neck, arms, and head—it was Captain Alyosha, his most powerful guard, who had also died unexpectedly at the hands of the Vampire.
Alyosha
"How could that be?"
Earl Okote was terrified; his Big Mouth, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
A moment later, he realized the situation and hurriedly lay down on the ground in a panic, trembling and begging for mercy.
"I am Earl Oakley! Please don't kill me! I can give you land, titles, and money!"
The Lang Li Bai Tiao stared at him, tilted its head, and asked with a strange expression:
"If we kill you, then all your money will be ours. Besides, the kingdom's heavenly army is about to invade. What use are the land and titles you promised?"
"I have more than this money; I can give you even more. This isn't all my savings—no, I..."
Under the threat to his life, Earl Okote was so frightened that he became somewhat incoherent.
However, the next moment, the Lang Li Bai Tiao mercilessly raised its Hand Crossbow, revealing its sharp fangs and displaying a confident smile.
"Feel sorry."
"We Nocturne never leave any witnesses."
"Whoosh—"
The poisoned arrow hurtled through the air, only to strike the transparent light membrane.
It turned out that the amulet on Earl Okote's body had been triggered, releasing School of Abjuration spell that blocked the fatal damage.
"I... I'm not dead!"
Earl Okote touched his neck in alarm, feeling a sense of relief, and staggered to his feet, trying to escape.
The Lang Li Bai Tiao looked rather unfriendly.
"Damn it, I finally managed to say a cool line, and you pull this on me?"
"Die!"
He calmly reloaded his arrow and fired another shot at the fleeing Earl from behind.
"Whoosh—"
However, another invisible Wall of Force rose up, blocking the arrow once again.
Lang Li Bai Tiao gritted his teeth, staring at the fleeing Earl, his face contorted in anger.
"Dare to be presumptuous in front of a top-notch assassin."
"Damn it, let's all attack together! I refuse to believe this guy can survive!"
"Boss, I'll do it!"
At the command of the Lang Li Bai Tiao, Vampire players from all directions rushed forward eagerly.
In an instant, sharp daggers, poisoned arrows, and gleaming poisoned needles rained down on the Earl.
"You, all of you, don't come any closer!"
"Ugh."
Earl Okote foamed at the mouth, his obese body crashing to the ground, his veins turning purple, clearly indicating that he had lost his life.
Lang Li Bai Tiao Baitiao walked up to the corpse with a gloomy expression, kicked it, and muttered to himself, "It's almost dead, can't I at least have a moment to show off?"
"Boss, look here!"
"We're rich!"
The excited voice of the Dark Night Wolf rang out.
The Lang Li Bai Tiao turned its head and its eyes lit up – tens of thousands of Gold Coin were piled up on the carriage, along with various luxurious and precious oil paintings, jewelry and even sculptures.
"Damn, this fat pig is really rich!"
However, the emblem on his chest suddenly lit up, and the voice of Head Mezhuolash, Nocturne out abruptly in his ears.
"Seventy percent of the spoils of war shall be turned over to the state."
"."
The Lang Li Bai Tiao fell silent.
The next morning, the residents of Vichy City awoke to find the entire city permeated with the stench of blood.
Then, to their horror, they discovered that the soldiers on the city walls had been slaughtered, the Earl was littered with corpses and pools of blood, and even Earl Okote had been stripped naked and found dead in the living room.
The bloated corpse had a note stuck to it in a rather darkly humorous way, covering the vital parts.
"Grand Duke Oliver has been assassinated by ' Nocturne '."
People were immediately terrified.
This can hardly be called an assassination; it was a complete massacre.
"O gods!"
"Who did this?"
"This, this is absolutely terrifying, it's like Hell!"
The maid who escaped from the Earl that night was extremely grateful, thankful that she had escaped with her life.
But the city didn't descend into chaos; instead, it became even more orderly, because they found a crooked note stuck to the face of Captain Alyosha—
"Just wait to surrender to the kingdom. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed tonight."
Meanwhile, on the Vichy City.
Charlotte and the other players of [Magic Coin] waited quietly.
However, the caravan laden with treasure and the obese Earl did not appear at the end of the road.
Looking at the empty road, Charlotte couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it, that bastard broke his promise! We agreed to meet here at noon, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Lonely as Snow couldn't help but complain from the side, "Guild Leader, you're not qualified to talk about credibility with this kind of behavior."
Yes, the Magic Coin are back to what they used to be.
Traitor.
The renowned "mysterious mage skilled in teleportation," whom countless Northern Nobles regarded as their lifeline, was Charlotte in disguise, and she deliberately spread this news.
So far, the Magic Coin have devoured two Baron, a viscount, and all their possessions.
Charlotte held up a finger and wagged it, saying earnestly, "That's not right. Can you call it cheating when it comes to players? It's called making good use of game resources."
"On the contrary, these people are the ones who break their promises; they deserve to die!"
"."
Lonely as Snow, fell silent once more.
Charlotte sighed, "Let's go. This deal has probably been snatched up by someone else, but it's okay, we still have several other deals to make."
