Devil’s Son-in-Law

“You mean... we're being targeted by the Dagger Brotherhood?” Fatty swallowed it hard, "you can't be wrong, can you? ”

Lucio squatted down and tore off the sleeve of the body, only to see a tattoo of two daggers on his shoulder, fading away. Soon, the body burned under a strange force and gradually turned to ashes, leaving no bones.

“Yes, it should be a member of the Dagger Brotherhood.” Lucio's face looked a little heavy, prompting him to look at Chen Rui.

The Dagger Brotherhood, a well-known organization of assassins in several countries, is said to be a target for even kings if they can afford it.

Not only is the Dagger Brotherhood's killer super powerful, but his heart is fierce, and even if captured, he won't leave anything alive, just like this auto-burning body. After a mission fails, they send a killer again to exacerbate their reprisals, but if they fail three times in a row, the mission is considered to have automatically abandoned at a cost that exceeds expectations and is generally no longer targeted.

This is a tradition of human dark forces, which, although not remembered as a legacy, even today's largest organization of assassins and bandits, the "Stalkers' Union”, strictly follows this tradition, let alone the Dagger Brotherhood.

After ascertaining that the enemy was the Dagger Brotherhood, not the Saint Feather Mercenary Group, Fatty suddenly shrugged and replaced it with a strong fear: "Who! Hired the Dagger Brotherhood for a lot of money against us! No! We must return to Gudan Town immediately...”

Fatty just said half a sentence and remembered violently that since the other side was the Dagger Brotherhood, even going back would not escape the poisoner. The Church of Katon City is higher than Gudan Town, and the Light Knight is stationed there, instead of going there, it is a way of life, "Captain Ina, please make sure to protect us to Katon Town, I double... no, ten times the reward! I will also be fully responsible for the losses you have suffered, including the pensions of the two brothers who died. ”

According to the rules, employers are generally only required to pay commissions in accordance with the employment agreement, regardless of the loss of mercenaries or casualties in the task. Fatty loves money, but he's not stupid. If he doesn't even have a small life, more money won't help.

If a mercenary abandons the task in the middle of nowhere, in addition to not receiving a commission, he needs to compensate for the liquidated damages and his reputation will be greatly diminished, but if Ina does abandon the task, the Iron Shield will lose nothing but money and prestige, and fat people will lose their lives. Fatty sat steadily in the position of head of the Gudan Town Church for many years. Naturally, he had a few means, and knew the logic of "brave men under reward”, so he immediately put forward the question of doubling the remuneration and taking responsibility for compensation.

Ina sighed slightly and looked at the mercenaries and said, “Don't worry, Reverend, our Iron Shield mercenary group has the most credibility. Now that we have taken up this task, we will do our best to complete it. ”

“Great! It's the Iron Shield Mercenaries!” Fatty is relieved: “I'll pay you ten times what I say and I'll pay you as soon as I get to Katon City. ”

Ina nodded, began to rearrange the defense, ordered the mercenary to retrieve the mount and arranged for the wounded to rest.

While passing by Chen Rui, the female leader took a deep look at him and said, “The Dagger Brotherhood assassins are generally unlikely to be captured alive. I don't know how you captured this assassin. But I can be sure that whether or not you were the target of the original assassin, you will be one of the Dagger Brotherhood's key 'caregivers' on the next journey. ”

“Oh, I've just been through a bad war and I need to go back to my tent and get some rest.” Chen Rui shrugged his shoulders as if he did not understand the current dire situation. Turning towards the tent, Lucio hurriedly followed.

Ina looked at Chen Rui's back and snorted coldly at the beard lying on the ground and asked: “Silva, how's it going? ”

“I can't die.” Big beard barely lifts up his body and reveals a smile: “After all, that special effect antidote is really divine, even the dispersion surgery can't remove the dramatic poison has been emptied, the rest is a little flesh wound, no obstacle. ”

Although the mustache is easy to say, Ina can see that it is definitely not just a "little” flesh wound, it is good to remove the severe poison, no fear of life, it only takes a few days of rest to recover, but the combat power will definitely be greatly reduced in the short term.

“This Richard is really not easy,” Ina revealed, “and his strength is still above our expectations, perhaps not necessarily to escape three assassinations of the Dagger Brotherhood. ”

“Even if it's stronger, it's not comparable... Right, Captain, did you promise that fat man to continue his protection assignment this time because of the deputy leader...”

Ina looked around and lowered her voice: "Before we left Gudan Town, I received a magical summons from Les Town that the mission to Stam Town had been completed and was on my way back. I left him a message at the hotel, and he should be back in Gudan to meet us, probably in two or three days. ”

The mustache revealed a surprise: “Great! If he could make it, even the Dagger Brotherhood wouldn't have to be afraid! ”

Ina's voice was even lower: “He wasn't meant to rendezvous this time, but to go somewhere through Katon City, just on his way to our mission. It's a private secret, so it's not easy to ask, and I didn't tell you. Now that the enemy is the Dagger Brotherhood, the matter of the Deputy Commander cannot be revealed so as not to attract the attention of the Dagger Brotherhood, I will leave a special distress mark along the way, as long as the three attacks of the Dagger Brotherhood can be blocked, this level will pass. ”

“Understood.” Big beard nodded and lay down again.

The night passed without further attacks. The next day the team continued on the road, some of the mercenary rides were not retrieved, just one for two, and the speed of the crowd was not very fast. Be careful along the way, two days have passed and nothing unusual has happened. Most of the injuries sustained by the members of the Iron Shield mercenary regiment have not recovered badly, but have not dared to relax their guard at all.

Today the ground world is autumn, the sun is not dazzling, but easily accompanied by exhaustion. In the turbulence of the carriage, the fat man's eyelids began to bump and he couldn't help but take a nap.

Without waiting for the Reverend to sleep, he was woken by severe shocks and shouting. Fatty's nerves, which had been loose, strained immediately. He opened the curtain and a large stone bag of grinding discs rolled down on the side of the mountain. At this time, the riders seemed to be frightened by some special force and ran uncontrollably around. The mercenaries were helpless and had to abandon their horses, and several unknown and living rides rushed towards the boulder and were suddenly smashed into mud.

“The road behind us is blocked. Come on! Reverend! Get off the horse, let's run into the woods over there! ”

The horse holding the carriage had been slaughtered by the mercenaries because it was out of control. Fatty jumped off the carriage in a hurry and quickly fled towards the side of the woods under the protection of the mercenaries. In panic, he did not notice that “Richard” was missing again.

Everyone managed to escape the boulders into the woods, and the sun suddenly darkened in the sky.

Instead of clouds, the forest is covered with a special force, even the sun is covered in haze.

All people heard was a terrible cry in their ears, as if there were countless hands in the woods constantly dragging, and the speed had come down voluntarily. That shady wind seemed to penetrate the bone marrow, giving everyone a sense of cold and bone in their hearts. A layer of mist in the woods was like a phantom ghost, floating around, and the will and power were weakened into the low valley in this terrible environment.

“It's a dark smell! Goddamn assassins, how dare you use this blasphemous power!” After all, the fat man is a priest, holding on to the fear in his heart, trembling, lifting his scepter in his hand, reciting the spell with the two monks, "disperse! Miserable darkness! ”

A white light appeared, floating in the sky, scattered, and those mists faded away as light smoke under the white light, while the anomalies in the people seemed to weaken a little.

At this time, the shadow wind, white light was quickly swallowed by the haze of the whole forest, the fat man carried out several successive times, all with little effect. Instead, he lost too much mental energy, and stood on his feet, his ass fell to the ground. The other two brothers were weaker than the fat ones and soon could no longer disperse.

The light in the woods is getting darker and darker. The mercenaries seem to be trapped in a mud pit, powerful and unable to make it work. Even the magician's magic can't work. At one time, all kinds of negative emotions follow, fear, weakness, slowness...

Chen Rui looked somewhat curiously at the two men in the woods who were working together to exert dark power - there were also dark magicians in the ground world?

In his eyes, it is natural to see that both men's strength is in the early stages of the Great Demon King. A special magic array is laid in this forest, which can increase the power of darkness and create corresponding illusions. The purpose of the rolling stone should be to force people into the woods and beat them all up.

“Huh! Didn't you say there could be an enemy at the division level? And killed Tucker. Why are they all weak ants?” A man said with dismay.

“Tucker is just an incompetent generation, but those intelligence agents are damned! It's a disgrace that these enemies are going to freak us out! ”

“Now that you're here, torture these ants to death! ”

Chen Ruizheng was about to take care of the two men. He glanced at them and looked in the other direction. He could feel that there was a man rushing this way, and his strength seemed... not weak.

Associate? Chen Ruixin thought slightly and put his hands down again. At this time, Fatty, they are not in danger. When this man's associate arrives, they will solve it together.

The arrival was quick, and the blink of an eye had already reached the magic array of the woods, coming straight at two men. Two black robe men just reacted, and when they were all surprised, they heard a resolute male voice echoing through the woods: "Morning extinction! ”

To Chen Rui's surprise, the voice is actually a little familiar, but at the same time, the mind produces a different kind of sensation - the object sensation of the spiritual link!
