Slice and Christine, one is a powerful assassin of level 12 thieves/eighth level warrior, and the other is a level 13 mage who has mastered six-level spells. If Jahira and Khalid hear these two names, they will definitely think of them quickly, because they are from Kalishan, Jahira's hometown, and they are very famous couple killers in the local area.

The killer industry is an industry that lacks trust. Killers are always lonely, so it is difficult for killers who always use various means to approach, gain trust, and kill their targets to trust the same people around them. Correspondingly, it is difficult for people around him to believe in the killer. That's why Slice and Kristen are so eye-catching as a husband and wife team. Many employers believe that two people with a reasonable professional mix and trust in each other can exert greater power.

Therefore, they can always receive high-value commissions, and they can always assassinate very difficult targets, which makes them more and more famous.

Although they are so famous in the local area, just like the rules that killers abide by, no one has ever seen their true appearance - it is not even sure whether they are a couple. Because it is said that after each mission is successful, the two people's favorite thing to do is to go to the best local brothel for entertainment. As a man, that's fine with Slice, but as a woman, Christine would also look for a man in front of her husband. What's going on? Therefore, although the two people always appear as a husband and wife team, and they do not hesitate to refer to each other as "my wife" and "my husband" in their correspondence with their employers at work, there is still very little news that the two people are husband and wife. Some people believe it.

Most people believe that the so-called relationship between husband and wife is a "safety valve" that allows them to identify dangers in time.

Their appearance has never been revealed, and they are not afraid of being recognized locally, let alone Baldur's Gate, thousands of miles away from Calisan Harbor?

Christine, wearing the civilian clothes of a Flame Fist soldier, supported a man who seemed to be injured, and hurriedly walked up the steps of the Duke's mansion under the cover of night.

"Stop! Who is that?!" A guard stretched out his halberd to stop them. another guard asked. He turned the lantern in his hand at an angle, letting the light shine forward, trying to see the two people clearly.

"Don't take the photo," the woman said anxiously. He also hid the man who seemed to be seriously injured behind his back. The two retreated into the shadows together.

"Alert!" the soldier behind ordered. The two men pointed forward with their halberds, "Madam, I don't know what's wrong with you. But you must let me see you clearly. This is my duty. This is the last warning!" After he finished speaking, Put an iron whistle tied to the side of your helmet into your mouth, ready to blow the alarm at any time.

"I'm Annie!" The woman raised her face and let the light of the torch shine on her face. At night, she looked very similar to Annie! And at this time, there was a lot of blood on her beautiful cheeks, and her hair was slightly disheveled, covering nearly half of her face. She looked even weaker, and people couldn't help but want to protect her.

"The one I'm holding is Flame Fist's deputy commander Ska! He's seriously injured and needs urgent treatment!

Our patrol encountered an assassination near the Temple of Helm, and I rescued Commander Skar. But what I never expected was that there were also assassins in the patrol team. After another assassination failed, they framed the crime on me! Now that the Flame Fist is out of control, I'm worried that someone will take the opportunity to assassinate the commander again, or imprison us and assassinate us! So I can only rush here with Commander Ska and ask the Grand Duke for help! "

"Are you Knight Anne? I've seen you before!" The woman said reasonably, and the guard standing behind whispered something, finally dispelling the suspicion of the other guard. After Annie joined Flame Fist, she gained the love of most grassroots Flame Fist soldiers in a short period of time due to her affinity and strength. Even the guards who are not members of the Flame Fist system have heard of this kind of thing.

"So is this Commander Ska? Please sit down here first, and we will notify you immediately!" the guard said.

"The situation is very critical now. I suspect there is a big conspiracy involved. I suggest that before Grand Duke Anta makes a judgment, please do not alarm other people!" Anne asked, "This is related to the safety of Baldur's Gate. Please ASAP! Thank you!”

The guard hurriedly took the order and went to the back. The two of them did not sit down. "Annie" still stubbornly supported "Ska" and hid in the shadow of the porch. The remaining guard was busy helping to prepare medical supplies such as water and bandages, and then placed them neatly aside. He looked at the two people quietly with his eyes, a little curious. He was the one who recognized "Annie" just now, but now he was a little unsure, but he didn't dare to show it.

If these two people are assassins, they may not have the ability to assassinate Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield, but they must have the ability to kill me instantly. For guards like him, their very lives are part of the warning. If they die or become unconscious, the magic circle in the mansion will immediately sound an alarm, and then the assassin will have to withstand waves of attacks at the gate until he is beaten by the guards and patrols.

Therefore, the current situation is that there are two sides to fear, and the doorway fell into silence for a moment.

Disguising himself as the seriously injured deputy commander Ska, with his head lowered and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Sliss was... surprisingly simple.

The patrol led by Ska, the deputy commander of Flame Fist, was attacked. Ska was taken away by Anne. His life and death were unknown. Flame Fist accused Anne of planning the assassination of Ska. The evidence was that he was supposed to command the temple in the North to fight against the trolls. Anne suddenly appeared in Ska's patrol, disguised as an ordinary guard, which is understandable. No one at the top of Flame Fist defended Anne, but among the grassroots of Flame Fist, the general view was just the opposite - they believed that Anne appeared there in disguise. It was precisely because she knew Commander Ska was in danger that she rushed back to protect him desperately. In the end, it must be Annie who rescued Commander Ska! As for who planned the assassination, just look at who is now entrusting cronies within Flame Fist and fighting for power and profit! Therefore, although the high-level officers are hunting Annie vigorously, there is almost no enforcement at the grass-roots level. Except for some opportunistic personalities who show their strength, there are grass-roots officers everywhere who talk nonsense like Long Dog.

Dragon Dog just... pulled the egg and almost pulled the right egg... He almost scared himself to death. How can a veteran like him be deceived by a rookie? Do not be silly.

An hour has passed since the assassination, and it is believed that the news has spread throughout Baldur's Gate in a short period of time.

The top brass of Flame Fist announced that Annie had assassinated Ska, while the grassroots said the opposite. Now Flame Fist is in chaos. All kinds of people jumped out. Rumors in the market have gradually developed into conspiracy theories - after all, everyone likes to use the greatest insidiousness to figure out the thoughts of those in high positions! In contrast, Anne is much more civilian, she is a victim. There is absolutely no doubt about this.

So Kristen had an idea. This plan was made. Now "Anne" takes "Ska" to secretly find the Grand Duke to "justice". How consistent with ordinary people's logic! I guess even the Grand Duke himself would believe it! ? Their goal is not to meet the Grand Duke, that would be too difficult, a big shot like that. I will definitely wait until the news is confirmed before stating my position. Their goal was to enter the interior of the official residence and avoid the guards on the outside.

Indeed, Anta Silver Shield, who is now in the back bedroom, is really confused - Ska is not dead, Annie has not gone to the north, both of them are wanted, and now both of them actually come to him to wait for him to seek justice? What's going on? ! I've been waiting for an assassination for a long time. You show me this? This Peat script is wrong!

Ska's death can be said to be a joint arrangement by several parties.

Even if he is not dead now, if he is hidden after being seriously injured and does not show up for several months, then it actually has nothing to do with the overall situation. As for the relationship between Ska and Grand Duke Iltan, which may break down, leading to internal conflicts within Flame Fist... wouldn't that be better! ?

But now he actually appears... If I rescue him, things will immediately become complicated, and the tacit understanding between me and Grand Duke Iltan will be broken, because he will suspect that I have other plans. It’s really a headache!

So he didn't go out at all. It was impossible for him to meet Sika before things became clear. Anta asked one of his men to lead the people, preparing to take them in first and control them later. Sika is a character who must disappear. It is said that Annie has some background, but if she disobeys orders and leaves her post without permission, she can be caught. His deputy captain walked out with seven or eight soldiers.

Christine saw it clearly and was overjoyed again. Because Grand Duke Anta definitely knows Ska, but the people under him are not necessarily known. The two sides belong to different systems. Ska is now "seriously injured". This situation is exactly the first one estimated, sneaking in. The confidence is greatly increased.

Not only her, but also Ding Mumu, who was squatting not far away watching the show, also thought so...

After she failed to assassinate Ska, she did not go back to recover immediately. Instead, she wandered around Baldur's Gate, wondering if she could run into Lu Yuan and the others. As for whether the mission is considered a success or a failure, God knows! Ding Mumu was too lazy to go back and explain. Anyway, there were many traitors in the team, and the people in the guild would definitely be able to understand the situation. Ding Mumu was walking around and found someone pretending to be Annie and Ska, who were putting on a good show!

So interesting!

But after watching for a while, Ding Mumu became angry! The acting is obviously bad to a certain level, but by some strange coincidence everything goes smoothly. Do you think you are the protagonist? The guard's words, "Are you Knight Anne? I've seen you!" were a stroke of genius! Not only did it save this bad drama, but it also allowed their plan to unfold naturally. This is unreasonable! Totally not worth the ticket price! Ding Mumu thinks my legs are sore from squatting, so why don’t you show me this? ! So she quietly took out a small crossbow and took a look...

Things just took another turn.

Just when Christine thought everything was going well, she heard a soft "pop" sound. The sound was very weak, like a coin falling into water. That is to say, Kristen was close and the guards further away did not hear any sound at all. She thought it was Slice who farted accidentally. Didn't pay much attention. But with the sound, Shilisi, who she was supporting, suddenly showed a strange expression, which looked like crying and laughing at the same time, very tangled. He clamped his legs and twisted his body strangely a few times, then turned his head to look at Kristen - his eyes were full of tears of apology and guilt, his lips wriggled a few times, and finally opened them as wide as possible, using Scream at the top of your lungs!

Christine and all the guards were dumbfounded, looking at "Ska" who was "dying" just now, and now he was screaming and jumping, and while jumping... he pulled one out of his butt... and removed it. The crossbow arrow had an arrowhead, and there was still some blood on it... Everyone who saw it felt like their assholes tightened, that arrow was so long!

Slice, who finally stopped, spread his hands helplessly. Kristen couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Look at your wife! We're attacking!"

After saying that, a big fireball was thrown out! To be continued. .
