Chapter 482 Shadow Assassin
"What about the second reason?" Lao Xie continued to ask.
"The second reason is related to the harassment I encountered recently!" Catherine suddenly said seriously: "To be specific, there is a group of unidentified guys who always attack our army. I have suffered losses every time. There were three digits of sentries! But I couldn’t catch them at all, and I didn’t even know their origins. It was so embarrassing! It was precisely because of this that I was worried that there was a conspiracy, so I never dared to disperse. Troops out."
"I heard that you were assassinated? What happened?" Lao Xie asked with a frown.
"Oh, what else could it be? One night, I was suddenly attacked by assassins who broke into the tent. There were more than a dozen assassins in this group. The two leaders were masters who had just entered the sanctuary, and one was an orc. One is a hybrid of elves and humans, the other is a hybrid of elves and humans, and the others are almost all hybrids of various races." Catherine then said helplessly: "Fortunately, Barton was there at the time, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see him. You! ”
"Who wants to assassinate you?" Lao Xie asked hurriedly: "Do you have any clues?"
"Yeah~" Catherine suddenly sighed, then lowered her head and stopped talking.
Lao Xie is so smart. When he saw this posture, he knew that Catherine had something to hide, and hurriedly asked: "What do you know? Tell me quickly!"
"The assassin is very clean and has nothing to prove his identity." Catherine shook her head.
"No, you must have seen something!" Lao Xie grabbed Catherine's shoulders and said displeasedly: "Don't you even believe me? Do you want to hide it from me?"
Catherine looked at Lao Xie's sincere eyes, and her heart suddenly softened. She could only nod helplessly and said, "Indeed, I. I seem to be able to guess some clues."
"What is it? Tell me quickly?" Lao Xie said anxiously.
"That's right!" Catherine suddenly said: "Do you know the organization Shadow Assassins?"
"I don't know!" Lao Xie immediately shook his head and said, "But I know the Shadow Sword Master. Do they have any connection?"
"You guessed it right!" Catherine said solemnly: "The Shadow Assassin organization was formed by the Shadow Sword Master under the orders of the previous emperor. The purpose is to assassinate those people who the emperor did not come forward to get rid of. Because the Shadow Sword Master's hybrid Because of their mixed-race status, most of the assassins he took in and trained were orphans who were abandoned by others because of their mixed-race status. After being raised by the Shadow Sword Master, they naturally became his confidants wholeheartedly. Another thing worth mentioning. Yes, you also know that many of the mixed-race people have outstanding qualifications, so these shadow assassins are also extremely powerful and have many special abilities that are difficult to guard against. Therefore, they almost never fail when performing tasks. Yes. Very scary!"
"Huh?" Lao Xie said in confusion: "Then if that's the case, why did I never know about this organization?"
"Because this organization is absolutely confidential, except for the principal Shadow Sword Master, only the emperor and the recognized heir to the emperor are qualified to know." Catherine solemnly said: "The others are your great-grandfather Lightning Sage. Not sure! ”
"Haha! But you knew it!" Lao Xie immediately said in a funny tone: "Is it possible? Are you also confirmed as the heir by the emperor?"
"No, I didn't!" Catherine said: "The reason why I know about the existence of shadow assassins is entirely because of my master."
"Your master?" Lao Xie immediately asked curiously: "How did he know?"
"My master has a good friend who is a poet and painter. He has no fighting ability. But he is very prestigious on the mainland. But for some reason, he unintentionally offended my father. So he was Someone assassinated him at home." Catherine said helplessly: "Because this guy offended so many people, no one knew who killed him at the time. But my master was very indignant about this, so he secretly killed him. Launched an investigation. It took more than three years to figure out the whole story. It was then that he learned that the Shadow Sword Master had cultivated such a group of terrible killers."
"Then what?" Lao Xie immediately asked curiously: "Why didn't your master kill your father?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Catherine said dumbfounded: "If my master dared to assassinate my father, wouldn't the Griffin Kingdom immediately mobilize a million troops to destroy the Principality of Chaos? This kind of thing is far-reaching. If you move your whole body, it might lead to continuous wars among the people on the mainland. My master is not as impulsive as you! How could I do such a stupid thing?"
"Then he just lets it go?" Lao Xie shrugged and said, "It seems that the friendship between sword gods is just like that!"
"How could we just forget about it?" Catherine rolled her eyes at Lao Xie and said, "My master seriously injured the Shadow Sword Master, and at the same time killed most of the Shadow Assassins he had trained so hard. If it weren't for the Shadow Sword For the sake of the royal family of the Griffin Kingdom, his life cannot be saved!"
"Yes!" Lao Xie nodded and said: "That's pretty much it!"
Then Lao Xie suddenly sneered and said: "However, if you cut the grass without eradicating the root, your master is not very clever, otherwise he wouldn't have put you in danger!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Catherine smiled bitterly: "My master is not a god, how could he know what will happen to me decades later?"
"Anyway, if he had done it cleanly, you wouldn't be so passive now!" Lao Xie then sneered: "Huh, Shadow Sword Master. Isn't it amazing?"
"Hey. Don't do this nonsense!" Catherine immediately knew that he was going to be impulsive again when she saw Lao Xie's look. He said hurriedly: "This matter is just my guess. It's not certain yet. You must not mess around!"
"You're not sure, I'm sure!" Lao Xie sneered: "This is all obvious. Apart from shadow assassins, how could there be so many mixed-race master assassins? Moreover, that **** Third Prince has been waiting for a long time Kill you. He has been a prince for so many years and has long been designated as the heir to the throne. It is normal for him to know the existence of the shadow assassin! Analyzing these two points together, I am almost certain that this must be the third prince who instigated the shadow assassin. Good job!”
"But it's possible that someone else is pretending to be someone else, right?" Catherine said, "If you make a move just based on these doubts, what if you make a mistake? You won't even have time to regret it!"
"Never mind it!" Lao Xie said indifferently: "Anyway, we are inseparable. According to me, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
"Nonsense!" Catherine immediately said dissatisfied: "The shadow assassin is the secret weapon of our royal family. Once I am killed innocently by you, how can I be worthy of my father?"
"You know how to turn to him!" Lao Xie said dissatisfied: "Are you the only one who doesn't think about what he did to you? How old are you? You were almost tortured to death by his newly married bitch! If not If your master comes forward, you will be a dry bone in the grave! Why was he there at that time?"
"Alas! No matter what, he is the father who gave me life, isn't he?" Catherine said painfully: "In short, he can be unkind to me, but I can't be unjust to him!"
"Well~" Lao Xie let out a long depressed sigh, and then said unwillingly: "Then if I catch those fish that slipped through the net and interrogate them and find out their identities are shadow assassins, can I let go and kill all the people who participated in the assassination? Have you packed up all your people?"
At this time, Lao Xie's heart was filled with murderous intent. In the past, he estimated that the Stephen family's position was not willing to take things too far. But unexpectedly, the third prince actually intensified his efforts and even resorted to such despicable means as assassination. If Lao Xie hadn't happened to ask Barton to follow Catherine, obviously after the assassination, Lao Xie would have had no choice but to collect Catherine's body.
This incident completely angered Lao Xie. He had already fallen deeply in love with Catherine. As a very protective person, Lao Xie would naturally not allow anyone to threaten his confidante. Therefore, he simply made up his mind this time. No matter who instigated this assassination, he would kill them all, even the third prince. He was even ready to make a complete break with the Griffin royal family!
However, after hearing what Lao Xie said, Catherine remained hesitant and did not speak for a long time.
Lao Xie then said impatiently: "If you don't deal with them, they will hold you back. Now that the war is approaching, do you still want the soldiers to keep such an exhausted vigil every day?"
"Okay!" When Catherine heard about the important matter related to fighting against the devil, she could only compromise: "The relevant personnel can be executed, but~" At this point, Catherine suddenly stopped.
"But what?" Lao Xie asked hurriedly.
"But if the commander behind the scenes is the third prince, I hope you can let him go!" Catherine said with a painful face.
"What?" Lao Xie said depressedly: "He wants to kill you, and you are still protecting him?" Now that Lao Xie has finally made up his mind to bloodbath the imperial capital, he naturally does not want to create a situation where the roots are not eradicated. So I am very puzzled by Catherine's weakness.
But Catherine said firmly, "Because I don't want the royal family to kill each other! You have to know, I am his sister after all, how can I kill my brother? Am I still a human being like that? ?"
"But~" Lao Xie said with a bitter smile: "He wanted to kill you first?"
"Then I won't take his life!" Catherine then said extremely resolutely: "Stephen, I know your ability is extremely terrifying. If you want someone to die, let alone the third prince, I'm afraid I Even my father may not be able to save his life under your hands. Of course I can't stop you, but I want to solemnly declare to you that if any royal member of the Griffin Kingdom is killed by you, I swear to the gods that I will commit suicide immediately. Apologize! ”
