Dunham Castle.
Dunham didn't notice any difference between Yamazaki and Shandai who had returned from vacation, and he didn't ask Brigitte much about why he occupied the Viscounty of Barrels and the Marquis of Fraser.
He didn't care about the rumors of the three evil dragons in the outside world, he just lived his life quietly and down-to-earth.
Yamazaki and Shandai also like this kind of day, provided they have something to do, such as now, as their attributes improve, they have to learn a lot of magic.
Yamazaki also has to study alchemy, which is very fulfilling.
…
Castle of Viscount Barrels.
Brigitte moved into the newly built mage tower. Since she knew there would be a killer, she naturally had to stay away.
In the royal family's fight, although they are blood relatives, they will not show mercy, and those who show mercy will die.
…
Three days later, assassins from all walks of life entered the town one after another, but there was no way to break through the mage tower to carry out assassinations.
Each of them is aware of the other's existence, but they have no contact with each other. They are each waiting for the other party to be unable to restrain themselves and carry out an open killing.
After waiting for a day, there was no news, but the news came.
Let’s work together to make sure nothing goes wrong.
That night, all the assassins broke into the mage tower together. In fact, they just ran in. No one stopped them at the door.
But because of the warning magic, Brigitte already knew.
In the forty-meter-diameter hall, the female knight Conmei was already waiting with a sword. She abandoned her shield and held a one-handed sword in each hand.
She used the Earth Armor and activated the ninth-level Saint Blessing in the magic stone.
The attack and defense values were very high, and she felt extremely powerful now. Not to mention these level 6 and level 7 assassins, even if she faced off against level 8 emperors, she, a level 6, would definitely win.
Facing the assassins who entered the hall, she stepped forward without saying a word.
Relying on the increase in attributes, the distance can be compared to a thrust in one step.
The air blades were linked to the circular slash, and two circular air blades were slashed out between the swings of the sword. The air blades extended one meter outside the sword, that is, the attack range was seven meters around the body, completely blocking the passage to the door.
Wherever they passed, the assassins at the front were all chopped into two pieces.
The remaining assassins dealt with each other individually. Those who flickered were the Purgatory tribe, and those who faded and disappeared were the dark elves.
The short and stocky man wearing earth-colored earth armor and holding up a shield is a dwarf. The shield is equipped with the earth shield technique.
The one who jumped to dodge and fired the wind poison darts was the halfling, and the one who retreated behind and prepared to release magic should be the half-elf.
The strong man holding the fire-based mace and sweeping across it should be the wolf warrior of the orc tribe, and the tall man wielding the thunder-based mace should be the shark warrior of the sea man tribe.
The remaining human assassins retreated one by one. If they couldn't walk up the stairs inside, they would jump out of the window from the outside.
It's just that everyone miscalculated, thinking that the female knight Kangmei had just used a thrust, so she was so fast.
But the female knight Comey doesn't have it, she only uses it now.
Stab + Air Blade Circular Slash + Air Blade Impact, and the sprint after the thrust.
The high energy value and strong recovery ability allow her to unleash the most powerful attack in her life.
The whole person seemed to be transformed into a huge air blade, seven meters wide and two meters high, sweeping across in an instant, erasing everything in its path.
The dwarf's shield was cut open and half of his body was wiped away. The increase of the earth armor and the defense of the earth shield were all useless.
The halfling's darts shattered and tore his body, and his wind shield was torn as well.
It knocked the Orcs and Seamen away, cut off their bodies, and shattered the fire shields and water shields on their armors.
All the defensive equipment on the human assassins were shattered one by one in an instant.
Yellow soil, blue water, colorless and gray wind, red fire, white ice, bright white thunder, and platinum light, all flashed away.
Their bodies were torn apart and scattered all over the place.
Finally, the female knight Come stopped behind the half-elf. The half-elf turned back in disbelief, but his head slipped away.
His level 7 vine shield was actually cut open.
You know, the other party rushed all the way.
The female knight Kangmei looked up at the sky and felt relieved when she saw the golden light flashing upstairs.
Those races that can only hide in the dark will be quite vulnerable to the light system, let alone the 10th level light system.
Although it is a protective magic, its power is enough to turn the dark race into ashes.
…
The 14 assassins from 14 families stayed away all night, and nothing earth-shattering happened in the Magic Tower.
The spies who responded were dumbfounded because this was impossible.
How could Brigitte and the guardian knight eliminate those assassins silently? Those assassins are enough to assassinate level 8.
If it wasn't to investigate the three evil dragons and see what treasures there were, there would be no need for them to come.
…
Three days later, the news spread back to the imperial capital.
The 14 princes and princesses all realized that they had another strong opponent on their way to the throne.
And she is now seizing the western granary. When the autumn harvest comes and the food is harvested, her foundation will be solid.
In this case, cut off her food.
…
A week later, Castle of Viscount Barrels.
"What did you say? The water is poisonous?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the color of the water in the hundreds of kilometers of water has changed. People have said that it is the curse of the three evil dragons."
"How is that possible? By the way, is anyone being killed now?"
"Although no one has been killed yet, people are no longer afraid to use it directly. Now they use light purification techniques to purify before use."
"That's good."
"However, although many people can use the light purification technique, they are only suitable for people. Crops and livestock..."
"I understand. It seems that the people in the imperial capital are behind this. They are dissatisfied with me for occupying this western granary."
"Then what should we do?"
"For a big problem like this, of course you should go to an adult."
"Your Highness, you mean Lord Yamazaki?"
"Please prepare yourself, we will sneak over."
"Yes, Comey understands."
…
Dunham Castle in the evening.
Dunham looked at the emperor's daughter who came to eat in front of him and slurped the soup in his mouth. He didn't feel any difference from before. Is there something wrong with his mouth? My cooking skills have improved unknowingly.
Yamazaki Shandai knew something was going on and went back to the bedroom after dinner.
Biji reported the situation, and Shandai bluntly said that they would go to the imperial capital.
Yamazaki shook his head, "It's still a little short of that, just wait."
"Then what should we do?"
"It doesn't matter. I will help you purify it at noon tomorrow. I just want to find a way to cut off the source."
"I'll go tonight." Shandai was eager to give it a try.
"No, this may be the dark race. I'll take care of it tomorrow."
"What if it's a human race?"
"It won't be too late to clean up tomorrow night."
"All right."
…
That night, Yamazaki, with the help of Shandai, made a 10th-level magic stone, which stored the 10th-level magic light field of the light system.
He can't release it yet, but he knows that magic patterns can be created through alchemy, and his success depends entirely on Sandai.
The next morning, Brigitte took Yamazaki and Shandai out of the castle on the pretext of taking them on an outing.
The weather was actually not good. Although it didn't rain, the clouds were thick.
The four of them flew into the air, and Shandai cast wind magic to slowly blow away the clouds.
