Chapter 591: Meet Crow again and secretly help Kashin deal with the pursuer
In the aforementioned city of Kent, the magician searched everywhere for clues but found nothing, as if those mysterious dark priests had disappeared without a trace.
Now let us turn our attention to Dunzhu City...
In the local assassin guild in Dunzhu City, there is a resident assassin named Crow. Speaking of the relationship between Crow and Kashin, it is really not shallow!
Back then, Kashin had a life-and-death battle with the church's armed forces. In that fierce battle, he was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. At this critical moment, it was the crow that saved Kashin's life. It can be said that the crow was half of Kashin's lifesaver.
Because of this, Kashin has been grateful to the crow ever since.
In that battle, crows looted the property of the dead on both sides. Unexpectedly, these spoils accumulated into a huge fortune.
Not only that, due to his outstanding performance in this battle, Crow also received a generous bounty from the Assassin's Guild.
When Kashen was about to leave Kent City, he took out 50,000 gold coins without hesitation and gave them to the crow to express his deep gratitude for the crow's life-saving grace and long-lasting friendship.
In this way, relying on the mission of escorting Kashen to Kent City, Crow made a fortune.
After that, Crow collected equipment, exchanged for secret books, and took on several large cross-regional orders. He has been promoted to a gold medal assassin and has an extraordinary status.
As for Kashin's killing spree in the Lost Forest, he offended many forces, and the bounty for his assassination quietly jumped to 1.2 million. This was the bounty formed by the combined forces of various parties.
Of course, the Kingdom of Pumasai sternly warned the domestic Assassin's Guild not to take action against Viscount Kashin, otherwise it would send troops to wipe out all the Assassin's Guilds in the country.
Under the warning from the palace, the local Assassin's Guild did indeed strictly order the assassins not to attack Viscount Kashin. Because the Assassin's Guild was not strong enough in the face of national power...
The local Assassin's Guild's rule was not without reason. Viscount Kashin had a special status and influence in this land. His heroic deeds, like the bright stars, illuminated the hearts of many people.
He saved a lot of lives in the operation of clearing out the shadow priests, which made him a heroic figure in the hearts of the people.
However, foreign assassins' guilds have no such rules.
For them, as long as they can kill a target like Kashin and generously admit their actions, as long as they can successfully escape being wanted in the end, then everything will be fine.
This rule is very common among assassins' guilds and has almost become an internationally accepted rule.
What this reflects is the complex political, economic and cultural differences between countries and regions.
Yesterday, two assassins from the Zaun Empire set foot on this land full of unknowns and dangers.
They entered the country through the port of Kent City. The legal identities that the Assassin's Guild had arranged for them were so real that they successfully passed the port's inspection.
Afterwards, the two assassins came to the Assassin's Guild in Kent City and began to inquire about the whereabouts of Viscount Cashen. Their goal was very clear, which was to go to Sheldon Castle to assassinate Viscount Cashen.
In their plans, Sheldon Castle seemed the most likely place to find Viscount Cashen.
However, fate played a joke on them. They never expected that Viscount Kashin had a record of entering Dunzhu City recently.
This unexpected discovery made the two gold medal assassins overjoyed. They felt that this was a good start. The target was so close to them, as if victory was just around the corner.
At noon yesterday, they arrived at Dunzhu City without stopping. As soon as they entered the local assassin's guild, they were spotted by an assassin named Crow.
Crow is now a prestigious figure in the Assassin's Guild, and he has great respect and admiration for Viscount Kashin.
Nowadays, there are many novels describing the heroic deeds of Viscount Kashin in local bookstores. These novels record in detail Viscount Kashin's heroic performance in various dangerous situations...
Through reading these novels and having a personal relationship with Viscount Kashin, Crow had already regarded Viscount Kashin as his friend and even regarded him as a hero whom he admired.
Besides, Kashin came to Dunzhu City to investigate the signs of plague. His behavior was to save more lives, which was a selfless dedication.
In Crow's opinion, how could such a person be assassinated?
Therefore, when he heard that the two assassins were here to kill Viscount Kashin, he was firmly opposed in his heart. For Crow, Viscount Kashin was not only a hero, but also a symbol of justice in his heart.
There are special rules of business dealings between the various organizations of the Assassin's Guild.
The Assassin's Guild here provides accurate intelligence to the brother organizations, which is considered an obligation. In return, they can extract a percentage of the rewards from the brother organizations after completing the mission.
For the Assassins' Guild, this was just a neutral move and normal business dealings.
Although this rule may seem a bit cruel and ruthless, it is a way of survival formed by the Assassin's Guild in its long-term development process.
Viscount Kashin left the city last night.
The two gold medal assassins also quietly followed him out of the city. Their figures were looming in the night, like two cheetahs hiding in the darkness, staring closely at their prey.
What they don't know is that their every move is under the surveillance of others, and a thrilling chase and counter-chase is about to begin.
Today, at noon, two gold medal assassins of the Zaun Empire were suddenly attacked, one died and one was injured.
The wounded man looked around in fear but saw nothing. His instinctive desire to survive made him crawl away, dragging his injured leg.
But the injured leg was hit by a strong short crossbow arrow...
"Who! Don't be timid. I know you are in the same industry and we have no grudges against each other. Why?"
The crow hid behind a tree, holding its breath, patiently waiting for its chance...
The golden assassin knew very well that he would not be able to escape this time. The enemy was obviously familiar with the terrain and had just launched a sudden attack when they were going downhill.
If you want to avoid this sudden attack, you will lose your footing and fall down the hillside if you are not careful. In this way, no matter how hard you struggle, it seems difficult to escape the trap and calculations carefully set by the opponent.
The gold medal assassin was in a very difficult situation at this time. He didn't know how many enemies there were, but he was sure that the number was definitely not small.
So, he made a prompt decision and chose not to run away, but instead hid behind a big tree with great effort.
At the same time, he quietly placed a miniature crossbow in the grass on his left hand side, quietly waiting for the best time to counterattack.
At this moment, both the enemies hiding in the dark and the gold medal assassin hiding behind the trees showed extraordinary caution.
The atmosphere around was extremely tense, as if it was frozen by an invisible force, and even time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
In this suffocating atmosphere, a crow circling in the sky was watching every move of the gold medal assassin.
It flapped its wings and flew quickly in a certain direction, and conveyed what it saw to its owner in a unique bird language. And this thrilling contest has just begun...
