"Don't be stupid, man," Fritz von Hallstatt said. As he spoke, he put his hand on his long sword handle. He is very confident. He is an awesome swordsman, and his opponent has only a short knife. "As long as I shout, I have six Templars here who will rush up. They will give me your head."

"Maybe they will be interested in cooperating with you and recording the interaction between you and them." Bai En said with a smile, the other party was more stupid than he wanted, and even thought he was not ready Dare to stay here.

Bahn's words chilled von Hallstatt. He didn't know if the Ratman's Prophet was already in the house or was coming, if so, he could not risk calling the temple warriors. They are reassuring anti-distortion fighters, but their enthusiasm also extends to dealing with things like ratmen.

"Man, you don't even know what you are talking about!" The chief judge quibbled. When he pulled the sword from the scabbard, the blade rang. "I'm afraid I know. Look, I saw you in the sewer that day. I saw you with my own eyes. When I saw you again in the golden rose, I could hardly believe it."

That man seemed quite sure. It is useless to reason with him, he must die. When von Hallstatt approached, he pointed the tip of his sword towards the ground. He lowered his shoulders slightly to prevent a sudden attack on the opposite side.

"How do you know?" "I'm a trench worker." Bai En said, scratching his face with his left hand.

"You can't be. The ditch worker can't afford to eat in the Golden Rose." When he said this, von Hallstatt realized. "What does Falheim have to do with you?"

Bai En did not answer, just smiled, as if the other party asked an idiot question.

"What do you want, man? Money? Promotion? I can arrange both, but it takes time." He was getting closer. When the man saw that he became so timid, he seemed to relax a bit. Soon everything will be over.

"No, I want your head." Bai En said suddenly. As Bahn spoke, von Hallstatt quickly attacked like a snake. To his surprise, the man blocked his blow. The steel produced sparks where the blades intersected. Bahn hit von Hallstatt with a kick. His leg suddenly hurt. As the man rushed over, he just managed to step back a few steps. He knew he had to keep his distance in order to take advantage of the length of his long sword.

The opponent's speed was much faster than von Hallstatt expected. The short knife stabbed the key part of him cleanly, and every blow was full of killing intent. He had to block every attack.

The blades of both sides circled and turned, looking for opportunities as precisely as the master. The blade was turning, shining in the shadow of the two lamps. They moved too fast, couldn't keep up with their eyes, used their lives to dance, and looked for loopholes in each other's defenses. Von Hallstatt growled with satisfaction, and poked Bain's arm with his finger. He cut a deep wound above the man's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

Soon the blood would drip and blind his eyes. Both were panting. But Fritz von Hallstatt knew he would win the duel. He can feel it. He will temporarily keep himself defensive. This is simply a matter of waiting for an opportunity.

Tangul heard a voice upstairs. Sounds like dancing. The heavy boots slammed on the stone floor. Okay, okay, he thought, thankfully he came at the right time. It seems that von Hallstatt ’s enemies have tracked down his old nest, and he is still in the process of assassination.

The assassination has a long and glorious history in the Ratman's political game, and Tangul wanted to make things happen. Letting that human die will satisfy the little malice in his heart. Although this idea is pleasant, he still cannot let himself enjoy this kind of fun. It will interfere with this great plan too much.

He kicked the bonebreaker. This hybrid of troll and ratman lifted its **** nose and mouth from the leftovers. It roared at him, venting his dissatisfaction with being disturbed by eating. Tangul stared at it, making his slave feel his will. The rat monster slowly stood up. They climbed out of the stairs from the cellar and walked towards the battlefield upstairs.

Bai En had to admit that maybe this is not a good idea at all. He blamed it on the hero stories he had read too much. He always wanted to act out a plot where the hero collided with the scheming villain. Of course, the reason may be that he has played too many tricks and always wanted to reverse his role.

Unfortunately, things did not follow the script. And this will be a story about his little life. His arm was burnt by the fatigue and pain caused by von Hallstatt. He is used to holding a knife in both hands. When there is no weapon in one hand, he doesn't know how to move it, but the opponent is completely different. His empty hands are difficult to make due to various small movements in battle.

He quickly turned his head to the side to get rid of the blood dripping from his forehead, which was a dangerous move for a swordsman as skilled as his opponent.

Red blood drops splashed on the desktop. Bai En breathed a sigh of relief, because von Hallstatt was not fast enough and did not seize the opportunity just now. His breath was short and hard. Sounds like a bellows. The pain hindered his smooth movement.

Von Hallstatt's long sword seems to be everywhere. It was the sword that changed everything. Bai En believes that if the length of the weapon in his hand is equal, he will have the upper hand. Even if he took an extra dagger, it would change the situation. But this is not the case, and it almost killed him.

Bai En has regretted that he did not carry that long sword. Even if his sword skills are far inferior to each other, even the sharpness of ‘Feng Soul’ will allow him to easily gain the upper hand in this battle.

"Quick, quick!" When they ran to the bottom of the stairs, Tangul again gave orders to the bonebreaker. The above battle continues, but now that he has decided to keep his pieces, he does not want to risk letting fate interfere.

An accident at this stage is the most annoying. The bonebreaker groaned slightly, then stopped suddenly, and then stopped suddenly, so that Tangul hit his solid back and bounced. His nose hurt badly. Tangul glanced at his pet. He understood why the bonebreaker had to stop.

A dwarf stood there, blocking the way to the stairs. He is burly and has strange bulges on his hair. He held a huge battle axe in one hand. He also seemed to be desperately accelerating his pace, wanting to keep running up the stairs and intervening in the ongoing battle. He was also surprised to find another person in the room.

"Damn the palace!" He complained. "You never know who you will meet in."

"Go to death, stupid dwarf." Tangul screamed. "Bonebreaker! Kill! Kill! Kill him!"

The bone breaker rushed forward, extending his paws. He vaguely appeared above the dwarf, a terrible demonic phantom, a living gift, a vivid tribute to the terrible imagination of the witchcraft scientists of the founder clan. If the dwarf was stunned as soon as he saw him, Tangul would not be surprised.

"Chew this," the dwarf said.

When the axe splits the bonebreaker's head in half, the brain splatters are everywhere. Tangul found himself facing an angry dwarf lunatic.

When he reached into his pocket and took the weapon, a breath of fear came. Then he decided to take more cautious action, it was a greater courage, he turned and ran. To his relief, the dwarf did not follow him, but ran up the stairs. When Tangul ran towards the sewer, he vowed that even if it took him all his life, he would make the dwarf pay the price.

Both people upstairs heard the sound from below. It sounds like a big tree fell to the ground. Bane saw von Hallstatt's eyes flashing towards the window. He knew this was his only chance. Like a wind, he rushed towards the noble desperately and gave up all defenses.

In an instant, he thought that von Hallstatt's sword would be raised and then penetrated into his chest. But the moment of distraction is almost enough. Later, his opponent tried to turn his sword around. Bai En is already within the sweep of the long sword. When his own dagger pierced von Hallstatt's abdomen, pierced his ribs, and pierced his heart. The opponent's sword penetrated his rib. With a gurgling, the chief judge died. The extreme pain tormented Bai En's brain, and he fell.

Before he lost consciousness, what he thought at the last moment was how he would write his life.

"Wake up, human. It's not time to lie on the ground."

Bai En felt water splashing on his face. Water entered his trachea and nose, he coughed and choked, shaking his head. "What are you doing?"

"We'd better leave here before the temple warrior arrives."

"Leave me alone." Bai En just wanted to lie there. "You go to fight them. You always wanted to die heroically." Guerrerogen dragged his feet and looked awkward. "I can't do it, humans. I'm an oathbreaker. But I should die gloriously. If we were caught now, people might think we were burglary."

"So what?"

"Theft brings shame. And I want to atone for my shame."

"I can imagine more serious crimes, such as trying to drown a dying person." Bai En said dissatisfiedly.

"You won't die, human. It's just a little bruising."

"Impossible, that guy stabbed me in the ribs, and I--" Bai En was very dissatisfied with the dwarf's words. Not everyone was able to survive a deadly wound like a dwarf ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ but When he sat up and tried to point out the wound, he found that the coat on his ribs had been cut, revealing the intact mage robe that Falheim sent him.

"Okay, if we have to do this." Bai En's words turned around and stood up. He looked around at the files. He suddenly thought that the information here was valuable to the right people. Even a small part here is very valuable. Regardless of the importance of these files to certain organizations, there are unlimited possibilities for extortion alone.

As Bane thought about how to take these files away and give them to Falheim, he noticed the dwarf and remembered what he had said about theft. Guerrerogan would not let him take the documents. Bai En suddenly found himself faced with a dilemma of choice, on the one hand can provide a lot of information for the Fatalin Association, on the other hand is the principle of adventurous companion. Well, Bai En finally decided that even if the dwarves were willing, Bai En decided not to take them away. Most of the reason is that the temple warriors will not give him the opportunity to take them all away, and he has no time to find out which files are more important to the Fatalin Association. Part of the reason is that this is a lifelong career for lunatics like von Hallstatt. There are indeed things recorded in those documents that can ruin people's lives. Heidelberg already has too many secrets. And these files represent too much power, and Bai En cannot let it fall into the hands of others. He picked up the lantern and poured oil on the filing cabinet. Then he lit them.

Bai En ran downstairs, his nostrils filled with the smell of burning paper, and strangely, he felt free. He realized that he would not choose to stay and work with Falheim now, at least for a short time, which made him very happy.
