Chapter 55 [Pale Shadow] and [Iron Mountain] (please follow up)

Based on the principle that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, Li Wei tortured the soldier who sneaked away in the middle of the night to extract a confession.

 Finally, it was discovered that this soldier was indeed a mole, an undercover agent hired by the Death Bird Voice to facilitate the assassination.

And he has been sneaking in for a while. Before Fred Knight left the castle, he was the one who reported the message to the broker of the Death Bird Voice.

Then the assassin took advantage of Knight Fred to leave, entered Livy's castle at night, and assassinated Livy.

Of course, what the undercover agent didn't tell the broker was that Levi had already advanced to the level of a knight, because it had not been long since Levi had become a formal knight, and only he and Fred knew about it, causing the assassin to capsize in the gutter.

 But this undercover agent didn’t know who the big patron was who assassinated him.

After all, we are a professional team and we do a good job of keeping our clients’ secrets secret.

But since assassins can be invited multiple times, and even a mid-level knight is invited, this also shows that the mastermind behind the assassination is likely to be no different from what Levi and Fred Knight guessed.

 “The Duke of Montenegro!”

Li Wei squinted his eyes, with murderous intent, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

 The Duke of Montenegro can invite assassins twice, which shows that this person will never give up until he achieves his goal.

With the strength and status of the Duke of Montenegro, Li Wei can imagine how difficult his future will be.

Now the Duke of Montenegro did not take action against himself due to the apparent law, but after discovering that the two assassination operations failed.

Li Wei didn’t know what extraordinary thing the Duke of Montenegro would do.

What Li Wei can do now is nothing more than two things.

 One is to give up the territory and identity as a lord, and then wander around the world to avoid being pursued by the Duke of Montenegro.

 The second is to continue to be the lord of the Blackwater Valley, but then there will be a headache.

 In the end, Li Wei decided to take one step at a time. Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to make a decision at the moment.

 He will soon be able to advance to the level of Intermediate Knight, and now that he has a lot of gold coins, he can start to expand the military strength of his territory.

With his current strength, unless the Duke of Montenegro commits suicide himself, there is still no problem in escaping.

 Finally, Li Wei sent the undercover agent to meet the kind father in heaven.

“You are still not careful enough. You will be more strict with your soldiers in the future, Fred.” Levi said to Fred.

"I'm sorry, Master, this is my dereliction of duty. This kind of thing will never happen again." Fred felt extremely guilty and felt very uncomfortable.

As a knight of Master Li Wei, I failed to fulfill my obligations and responsibilities to protect the young master. I am ashamed of myself!

“It’s okay, I just need some time, it doesn’t need to be too long, I will make these people who want me dead regret it!”

“By the way, Fred, don’t forget to help me find out about the Giant Breathing Technique and the Mellon family. This must be done secretly.”

 Levi returned to the shelter and continued to practice breathing techniques.

 Don’t say that you are being cared about, even if the end of the world comes, don’t delay practicing the breathing method, your liver will be fine.

 …

Somewhere in the Emerald Kingdom, in a gloomy and dark black castle, rows of black crows stood on the roof of the castle, and groups of black crows circled in the dim sky above the castle.

 The whole castle exudes an oppressive atmosphere of death.

In the underground wine cellar of the castle, a gloomy, pale, and slender noble man was sipping the wine he had collected for many years. He picked up a glass of Bloody Roland wine and came to the balcony on the second floor of the castle. A red-eyed crow fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder. There was a letter tied to the crow's leg.

Red-eyed crows are faster and more accurate communication pets than homing pigeons. There are only a few of them in the organization, and they are mainly used to contact some major patrons or close members.

 He opened the letter. There was no signature inside. It read:

"Dear Lord Pale Shadow, originally I didn't want to bother you, a shadow-level assassin, by writing a letter, but your organization has not yet responded to the task I entrusted to your organization some time ago. Judging from the information I currently have. , the person I want to erase seems to be still alive and well.

If your organization is not capable of completing such a simple task, then I have deep doubts about your organization’s professionalism.

 I will give your organization one last chance. If I cannot complete my task, my cooperation with your organization may also come to an end.

 Sigh, the legacy of the Knight of a Thousand Faces should not have failed like this..."

Seeing this, the pale noble looked gloomy. He held his right hand on the stone railing. On the palm of his hand, turbulent black energy emerged from the fingertips and actually left the body. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if the nails on his right hand suddenly It grows longer and turns into sharp nails like a vampire.

 There are scratches on the stone railings, deeply imprinted in them.

 A moment later, the pale noble wrote on the blank parchment with a quill:

“Deploy the gold medal assassin Tieshan to continue the mission of assassinating Baron Levi. No matter what means are used, this mission must not fail!”

　　　————Pale Shadow”

 Then, the red-eyed crow took the letter and flew into the distance.

 The pale noble looked ugly, and even now, he couldn't understand it.

How did Baron Levi survive two assassinations?

 The Phantom Knight is a Bronze Medal Assassin who just failed.

That Bernard Knight is a silver medal assassin. They told the Death Bird that there are only thirty silver medal assassins, and each one is precious.

But not only did Knight Bernard fail to assassinate him, but he actually died?

Now the Pale Shadow is not sure whether external forces intervened or whether Baron Levi himself killed Knight Bernard.

 If it was the former, he could understand it, but if it was the latter, it would be a bit unbelievable.

"Six years ago, he was just a coward who abandoned his armor and sacrificed his land to save his life because he lost his asylum. Six years...is it enough to make such a big change?" The pale shadow murmured to himself.

 As a shadow-level assassin with the voice of the death bird, one of the five shadows.

 He ​​himself has no concern for Baron Levi's affairs. In his opinion, the only thing he can remember about Baron Levi is that he is the son of the famous Black Snake Knight, but that's all.

However, he must care about the reputation of the organization and maintain the organization's high professional standards and good reputation in the industry. Especially this time, they are working with a real big shot, a person who has both strength and power. , almost standing at the top of the pyramid.

 The voice of the dead bird cannot be separated from the cooperation with this customer, so he must not lose this customer.

Tieshan is a gold medal assassin who has become famous in the organization over the years. He is a high-level knight who is only 30 years old. He is the illegitimate son of a great nobleman. He practices the family's excellent breathing method and will advance to become a great knight in the future. It is also possible that his overall strength ranks among the top five among the organization's twelve gold medal assassins.

If Tieshan cannot complete the mission, then the only person in the organization who can complete the assassination may be the "Five Shadows".

 However, as the leader of the organization, the people he assassinates each time are at least at the level of count.

If things progress to the point where he personally goes out to assassinate a young boy.

 Pale Shadow may need to seriously consider the disbandment of Death Bird Voice. Everyone should go back to their respective homes and do what they should do.

 They can no longer embarrass the old man, the Knight of a Thousand Faces.

　　　Thank you to Cao Dahua for giving you a 2000 reward for being a soft-hearted person, and thank you for Li deliberately giving you a 100 reward. Thank you!
