To Four Thousand Years Later

v3 Chapter 73: fake scene

Oliver and Astolfo set up the Pope's body together, made him face the door again, and took Astolfo's long sword out of his hand.

immediately. Oliver carefully and slowly withdrew his sword from Adrian's back. Then he held Astolfo's sword, and stabbed it slowly and precisely into Adrian's back, into the wound caused by his own sword.

His sword is named Otukleil, and it is the holy sword given to him by the leader Tupin when he made great achievements in the western region.

This long sword is slightly thinner and shorter than normal Gothic swords. The hilt is cast from pure gold. And there is a rare crystal; its blade is as clear and bright as a mirror, and when it is unsheathed at night, it will shine like the surface of a still lake. Neither severing a shield nor severing a bone will dull the blade's edge. Under Oliver's natural power. There are very few swords that can accompany Ruo all the time.

If this name is a bit unfamiliar, it has another name—that is, in the legend of King Arthur, the knight Lancelot's sword Herondite.

Unlike Oliver's holy sword, Oh Stolford's saber is just an ordinary military saber. After all, Astolfo did not have his strength. It's not like Roland is always fighting on the field line. Ordinary swords are enough for him. Incidentally, Frankish swords are almost identical to Gothic swords. They were, after all, extensions of the Roman sword, with only slight differences in the length of the hilt and blade.

This sword is slightly wider than Oliver's holy sword, so when it pierced Adrian Shi's body, the scar it caused covered Oliver's sword wound. Wait until the blade is completely submerged in Adrian's back. Oliver stood up. Holding the hilt of the sword like pulling out a clockwork from a toy, he pulled out the blade vigorously, bringing out blood and splashing on the ground "Okay. He didn't use this sword to cut off Adrian's head, but avoided Helping the bones and piercing his back is to prevent people from doubting himself. After all, his sword is too famous. It is easy to suspect him after comparing the wounds. Especially once the bone wound is smooth There are only a few swords that cut bones. They are either the gifts of the gods or the gifts of the devil.

On such an important task, Oliver didn't dare to use the standard long sword that he hadn't held for a long time. He had already brought all the props he could take, lest the assassination would fail and Adrian would escape.

However, as long as he covered the wound with Astolfo's sword, he could basically rule out his suspicions. Having dealt with the fatal wound, Oliver used Astolfo's sword to stab Adrian's body with scars of different depths, and deliberately cut his neck with a little less force, creating a scene of Many people besieged Adrian's illusion together.

"You are so careful, Oliver.

Astolfo didn't feel disgusted, but just watched curiously: "Have you never done it before?"

"certainly…

Oliver pierced the Pope's body with a sword, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Tupin entrusted this to me before he left.

"Why don't I know!" Astolfo exclaimed.

"You should know! You idiot!" Oliver stopped what he was doing, turned around and shouted loudly: "I have already told you! It is with our action plan!"

"Oh, I remembered when you said that.

Astolfo paused, and said calmly: "Then I guess you haven't finished dealing with it yet.

"I guess you haven't even thought about it.

Oliver muttered, wiped the blood splattered on the surrounding tables, and beckoned to Astolfo: Give me the things. You go out first.

Astolfo obediently untied the harness and a pot of arrows on his back, handed them to Oliver, and asked at the same time, "Shouldn't this be my part of the task?"

"I'm glad you remembered your mission, Astolfo.

Oliver said with a straight face, "But it's not as good as you here. You will have trouble if you are clumsy.

"I'm not clumsy. I'm smarter than you, Grandpa Tupin said.

Astolfo snorted and stared at Oliver. His icy blue pupils were as clear as the surface of a lake.

"It doesn't matter if you think so," Oliver said, "I can do things like desecrating a corpse. I have already passed the confession and asked the Pope's opinion... He said that soldiers are nothing more than swords, The sword has no eyes and no sin'. So I can kill him with his eyes, because I have no intention to kill.

He looked at Astolfo and said seriously: "But you can't. You don't even dare to face his direct gaze.

Astolfo looked at Oliver and suddenly laughed: "Listen to you."

He turned and walked out of the room, and added before closing the door: "I won't help you after that. I'll slip away first... I'll ride Ruo Ma to wait for you in the woods. Remember to handle it well, don't be careless, and run faster.

Oliver said casually.

He looked at the Pope's body and sighed deeply. But neatly put the arrow on the snake-headed crossbow in his hand-this is the standard configuration of the Gothic scout troops, which can be used to shoot snake-headed arrows.

He then took a few steps back and pulled the trigger. Black blunt crossbow bolts pierced the Pope's body. Then he turned the angle again, adjusted the distance and fired again. Repeat this seven or eight times, until the pope's body is covered with arrows, and the hole pierced by the sword is almost no longer bleeding. It is not until the blood under his body has almost turned into a lake, and the bloodstains on his body are densely spread downwards. Then he stopped. .

On-site processing is completed. Oliver pulled out the arrows one by one and put them back into the jug.

He wiped the blood on Adrian's body, but it couldn't be wiped clean because there was too much blood. So he wiped the blood from his hands on the wall and on the table. But just as he grasped the hilt of the sword, he still felt that it was not wiped clean, so he subconsciously wiped the table again.

Oliver sighed and dropped a Frankish medal that he had prepared in advance on the ground. Then flipped out of the window.

He looked around to make sure that no one saw him, so he pressed his left hand with the iron glove on the side where he came from. Like a sledgehammer hitting a wall, a thunderous bang resounded in the night sky. The blow of the giant released at zero distance caused the wall to be covered with cracks, and dust flew into it. Even with Oliver's body, the huge reaction force made his left arm a little numb.

But he didn't rest for long. Three or four seconds later, the glove turned red again. With a loud bang, it was struck with the force equivalent to a giant punch. The wall was shattered with a single swipe, the wire was torn off, and the shattered masonry flew into the house. .

Someone must have heard it.

Oliver took a breath, grinned and rubbed his left arm vigorously, and ran straight out. If the horses were still nearby, they would be scared out of control by the loud noise. Heh, Stolford took it away, and it was considered a favor for the time being... It's just that the journey is a little bit long. I hope that Astolfo didn't really run into the woods in one breath, but waited for me on the road and started to walk...

Oliver sighed deeply. But obviously, this is unlikely.
