Chapter 264 Gods And Assassination Order

William and his companions were fortunate to escape the siege via the underground tunnel. But they were afraid to dig and go above the ground. The dark creatures were still searching for the hiding professionals.

Crazy Groome had succumbed to William’s continuous Soul Control, and he became a great general of the City of Dawn.

Even though Groome was a Legendary Grandmaster-level Troll leader, he was unable to resist the incessant soul torture. He had finally given up on Darkness and was headed toward the Light.

William again viewed the scene from Alec’s perspective and discovered an interesting fact.

The injured professional whom Alec had saved was the son of the Marquis of Red Fire Kingdom, Bryan Scarlet Flame.

The Red Fire Kingdom was located north of the Nightmare Forest.

Bryan’s family had the royal bloodline, and they were the most trusted clan in the Red Fire Kingdom. The clan was very powerful, and people had been treating Bryan like a prince.

Bryan entered the tunnel with Alec and gaped in astonishment at the sight. A Troll was sprawled on the ground in the most awkward posture. His eyes looked dazed, while drool dripped out of his mouth. Bryan could not imagine what kind of torture that the Troll had undergone.

Then he looked at the five black-robed warriors and swallowed hard. He pressed his bleeding butt against the wall. He had almost lost his bowels…

Bryan started to recall his memories. When the cave collapsed, the Troll leader had not escaped from the cave. At that time, an intense battle was happening in the cave.

But now, the Troll leader was sprawled here. Did it mean that the Blood Fruits were taken by these people?

William noticed Bryan’s expression. He cordially laughed and edged closer to Bryan as he consoled him. “Don’t be afraid. We’re good people.”

“I believe that you’re a good man!

“I’ll remember my benefactors for saving my life. As for the Blood Fruits, I don’t know anything. What’s more, the fruits aren’t that important.

“The Emerald Grand Duchy has colluded with the dark creatures to kill the genius professionals of the neighboring nations.” Bryan did not ask for the identities of the strangers. He changed the topic and put the blame on Emerald Grand Duchy.

He knew that his status was not very useful in this situation.

“Oh, have all the professionals of Emerald Grand Duchy escaped?”

“Yes, they were released on purpose. There are so many dark creatures. I’m sure there are more than one Devil’s Dens!”

“Where did you come from? What’s your

name?”

Bryan hesitated before saying in a low voice, “Red Fire Kingdom. I’m the son of Marquis Scarlet Flame, Bryan Scarlet Flame.”

He was expecting to see the astonished expressions of the six men.

But in the end… Only William nodded while the other five men were bewildered.

Because the five men did not know how powerful a Marquis was in a kingdom.

William removed his hood and revealed his face. He said, “I’m the Lord of the City of Dawn, William Blackleaf.”

“City of Dawn? Isn’t that the only city that repulsed the Darkness Invasion on the Legendary continent?” Bryan asked in surprise.

“Yes, it is.” William smiled and nodded. He was enjoying the surprised look of Bryan.

“Greetings, it’s my honor to meet you in person. I didn’t expect Lord William to be young and capable. And you’re able to take things casually in such a dangerous situation…”

Bryan glanced at the captured Troll and soothed his injured butthole before he smiled and said, “I heard that the City of Dawn is accepting a lot of missions recently. Are you able to send me back to the Red Fire Kingdom for a payment of 4,000 magical stones?”

“Of course, it’s not a problem. The City of Dawn has been a symbol of righteousness. Escorting you back is not a big problem.

“But… The payment of 4,000 magical stones is too low for your status…”

“8,000!”

“Deal. I was only saying that the value of 4,000 magical stones did not befit your important status. I’m not asking for more money…” William shrugged. He had revealed his identity to Bryan because he understood him very well. Secondly, William was more interested in getting in touch with the Red Fire Kingdom.

He wanted to see if he could receive any missions.

As there were a lot of genius professionals in the Red Fire Kingdom. Since they had perished here, the Red Fire Kingdom would be in need of talent.

William was not able to exert much influence so he could only make use of his charms to solicit significant missions.

More importantly, the Red Fire Kingdom was very powerful.

It was the strongest Human kingdom besides the three empires. If William could maintain good relations with the Red Fire Kingdom so early, it would be of great help to the future development of the City of Dawn.

From then on, William would not have to worry about obtaining missions for the Dawn Mercenary Team.

The Red Fire Kingdom was both rich and powerful.

The Lord of the Dark Night City was in a terrible rage.

Ottoman stood up and destroyed the table with a palm slap. He angrily shouted, “What did you say? Bryan, the most important target, was not killed. The Troll leader went missing, and the Blood Fruit tree was stolen?”

“Yes… it’s true, my lord!” a darkness soldier awkwardly said. Dark creatures were not lacking intelligence. The Advanced darkness soldier had competent intelligence.

Unfortunately, the dark creatures were not familiar with tunnel digging. Moreover, the collapse of the cave had been severe. All traces of William’s digging had been destroyed.

Ottoman glanced at the darkness soldier and frowned. He knew that it was useless to talk to the dark creatures, so he waved and dismissed the darkness soldier.

When he made sure that nobody was around, he opened a secret door to enter an elegant room.

Various runes and magic incantations were hanging on the walls of the room. On a side table, multi-colored crystal balls and magical artifacts could be seen.

On a nearby chair, there was an elderly man without his legs.

This elderly man carried a transparent crystal ball in his arms. He ignored the entering Ottoman as he caressed the crystal ball with knitted brows.

Half an hour elapsed.

The old fortune-teller coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Ottoman patted the fortune-teller’s back and listened to his soft words. “You wanted me to predict the location of the fourth map of the ‘Blood essence of the Blood Dragon’. But when I did the divination, my eyes were blinded by a mist.

“But I found two leads connecting together when I did the divination just now,”

“What do you mean?” Ottoman Lossa was respectful of the fortune-teller as he had been helping him to become powerful.

The old man’s divination was perfect. Hence, Ottoman was able to survive all his crises.

If that were not the case, how else could he survive under the three powerful nations?

He had been extremely vulnerable during that time.

Now, Ottoman was becoming more and more powerful and influential. He realized that the old man was indeed powerful.

The old man had not exhibited other magic skills. But even based on his divination skill, he could make Ottoman very powerful!

The old fortune-teller pushed his wheelchair. Then, he grasped the crystal balls with both his hands as though he was caressing his wife’s face. He placed them gently on the crystal ball rack before he smiled cordially and said, “I saw the Blood Fruit tree and the map connecting together.

“Just now, I had been in total darkness. But then I saw the light, a brilliant light, and a bright moon. It was full of hope and in the south!”

“Light? Goethe Nasis, my prediction was correct.” Ottoman squinted. He knew that Goethe Nasis had a map, but he did not act. Later, Goethe Nasis joined the dark creatures, and Ottoman almost blew his top off. But later, Goethe returned to the surface.

Goethe attacked the City of Dawn. It was not known if he survived, and the map had also been lost.

Ottoman suspected that the Lord of the City of Dawn might have taken the map, but the old fortune-teller could not confirm it. The map seemed to be cloaked by a mist. No matter how hard the fortune-teller tried, he could not obtain any information.

Without concrete evidence, Ottoman did not want to antagonize a powerful Lord.

But now, Ottoman narrowed his eyes. The Lord of the City of Dawn disrupted his plans twice. He had to teach Lord William a lesson.

He obtained the location of William from the old fortune-teller before leaving.

The old fortune-teller lazily stroked his brows and said to himself, “Who engulfed you with the mist? If not for my attentiveness, I might not have been able to locate you in such a short time.”

In the fortune-telling hut of the City of Dawn.

The players were gifting the owner with money in a bid to increase his affinity points.

But Moses only caressed his cat. He was not bothered by the players.

Until just now, when he raised his brows and smiled. He waved his hand to chase all the players outside. Then he got close to the cat’s face and said, “Tell me, black kitten, who can break my divination?”

“Meow… meow…” The black kitten would not yield to Moses. The kitten purred a few times and struggled to get out of Moses’ hands. The kitten ran to one side and was not bothered with the crazy fortune-teller.

Moses looked calmly to the north. His eyes traveled through time and space and arrived before a person.

At this moment, the old fortune-teller who was hidden in Ottoman’s secret room was shocked. He fearfully looked at his surroundings.

He did not expect to break another fortune-teller’s mist and allowed another person to break all his defenses. His presence had been revealed.

The mighty gaze did not leave. Instead, the mysterious person was investigating his past and present.

The old fortune-teller was worried. He wanted to die from shame and give himself a slap. Why had he been so curious?

He prayed very hard that the mysterious person would not divulge his location…

However, there was something that was fortunate.

That man did not reveal his presence.

Instead, a cold voice rang in his ears, asking for some valuable magic materials.

The old fortune-teller’s legs were broken, but a pair of elemental legs were created. He stood up in haste and respectfully bowed. “I’ll do it. I’ll send someone to deliver the items within three days.”

The gaze of Moses vanished.

The old fortune-teller sat on the chair and inhaled the wonderful air…

Freedom!

It was good for the living.

There were many reincarnations of the Gods, but how many of them actually survived? How many Gods actually escaped from the killing of the sages?

Even though he was a divination god, his legs were broken, and he had almost died.

He was curious who was the man who discovered his existence.

“Pfff, I can’t do anything about my curiosity. I’m going to die.” The old fortune-teller shook his head. He decided to concentrate on his training instead of bothering with other matters.

Not only was William an NPC, but he was also a player.

Hence, even before Ottoman Lossa sent out the assassins, William received information about the mission.

[Secret Assassination Order: Someone wants you to be dead. Please foil this assassination attempt!)

(Mission Level: A+]

[Mission Information: Only if you foil the assassination attempts every time, would the mastermind will recognize your strength. Work hard.]

[Mission Reward: ???]

“Assassination? I’m underground. How can he assassinate me?” William was curious. Since there were orders for his assassination, he had to be careful.

The dark creatures started to disperse.

William ordered Alec and Violent Dragon to bring the Troll to the Dawn Mercenary Team’s stronghold.

He would escort the wounded Bryan home with the rest of his companions. William would also form diplomatic ties with the Red Fire Kingdom and solicit for missions.

William, Burned Cinder, Diablo, Wells, and Bryan made haste to the north.

Bryan’s wounded butthole did not recover. The surface had been contaminated by black venom, and great pain disturbed him. Bryan was unable to run, so Burned Cinder and the other companions took turns to carry him.

William could have used the Life Potion to remove the black venom and help Bryan to recover.

However, the Life Potion could not be recklessly divulged.

More importantly, the Legendary Bryan was strong enough. There was no need to pamper Bryan, since he was only a tool for William to contact the Red Fire Kingdom.

Not to mention, even though the black venom was painful, it was not fatal.

With good treatment, the butthole would be able to recover, and Bryan would not easily lose his bowels.

Bryan could not help farting. But every time he farted, his pain would act again.

Adolf’s sword was definitely poisoned.

Bryan’s wound was definitely not caused by the dark flames or by the battle energy.

As time passed, William and his companions had traveled tens of kilometers while being pursued.

Bryan thought that the pursuers were coming for him. He shouted fearfully, “I’ll pay 12,000 magical stones. Don’t leave me behind.”

William said firmly, “Protect him. I’ll meet those pursuers!”
