Chapter 592: Friends get together and laugh heartily.
As Crow and the gold medal assassin were in a tense standoff, no one noticed that Kashin had already quietly set up an ambush nearby.
When the two assassins sneaked out of the city and began to follow him, Kashin discovered their whereabouts at the first time with his keen intuition and excellent anti-reconnaissance ability.
However, since he was busy tracking down a mysterious shadow priest at the time, he didn't want to be entangled by these two minor characters, so he chose to stay put for the time being.
Not long after, with the help of the unique vision provided by Angel, Kashin unexpectedly discovered that Crow had also quietly left the city and was closely following the two followers.
This situation instantly aroused Kashin's great interest, and he thought to himself:
"I wonder what these two assassins are up to?"
Thinking of this, Kashin decided not to intervene for the time being, but to quietly hide in the dark and observe how the situation develops.
After all, for Kashin, the crow had once been kind to him, and he could not let the crow suffer in this fight at any cost.
In contrast, the search for the shadow priest could be slowed down a bit. So, he secretly signaled the silver wolf beside him to deliberately slow down his pace in order to create a better opportunity for the crow.
As expected, the crow seized the opportunity and made a decisive move, and it hit the target with one strike! Faced with such a smooth situation, Kashin smiled slightly, thinking that since the crow had already succeeded, there was no need for him to show up in person.
He continued to hide in the dark, silently watching the subsequent developments through Angel's vision.
You know, the mercenary missions that Kashin completed in the past have made him many enemies.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has offended countless people, and even the church is one of the forces that has issued a reward for his arrest.
Especially when he went to the magic academy in Chester Kingdom last time, he accidentally learned from the conversation with the magicians there that the Zaun Empire had listed him as the number one wanted criminal because of the annihilation of the Royal Falconers.
Fortunately, the Kingdom of Chester explicitly prohibited the Assassin Organization from taking action within the country. Otherwise, Cashen might have encountered a thrilling life-and-death battle in the Kingdom of Chester.
The gold medal assassin was injured in the thigh and tried to pull out the crossbow arrow, but he couldn't pull it out at all. The arrowhead had already embedded in the bone, and he was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The opponent seemed to have disappeared and could not be detected, so the gold medal assassin took medicine, bandaged himself a little and prepared to find a place to retreat. It was impossible for him to carry out the assassination mission in this state.
When the crow saw him move, it retreated silently, as if it had given up the assassination. It smiled slightly and closed its eyes to rest.
There is still a long time to go back. Just go back at least ten miles and follow him from a distance. Wait until he lets down his guard and then deal with him. Don't be in a hurry. Let him go far away first and then catch up.
Kashin certainly knew what the crow was up to. This guy definitely couldn't get away. The crow could handle it. However, when the ancients met, they could have a chat first...
So there was no need to waste time. Kashin was seen moving like a rabbit through the forest, bow in hand, running towards the assassin who was limping down the mountain.
At this moment, Crow discovered through his pet that Viscount Kashen was nearby. He knew everything and took action himself. He couldn't help but feel happy and got up to chase the assassin.
The gold medal assassin sensed the danger and hid behind a tree. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his heart and immediately vomited blood. He knew that he was dead this time. He was nailed to the tree trunk. The power of this arrow was astonishing.
Kashin appeared on the assassin's right side like a ghost and kicked the miniature crossbow out of his hand. He was standing straight with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Time is running out. To make a long story short, who sent you to kill me?"
The assassin's consciousness began to blur. He even had difficulty turning his head to look at Kashin. His eyes were dull and he immediately began to twitch...
Kashin said again: "You were so naive. Why did you shoot so accurately? The heart was pierced and the consciousness was cut off. If it was ten centimeters lower, he would be wailing heartbreakingly by now, and there would be nothing we could get out of him."
After saying that, he began to search him and shouted at the same time: "Senior Crow, there is no need to hide. I can see clearly whether you are a friend or an enemy. I have something to ask you. What is going on?"
Crow left all his weapons at the foot of the tree and stepped out from behind it: “Viscount Kashin, I have no ill intentions.
These two are gold medal assassins of the Zaun Empire branch. They entered the country from the port of Kent City specifically to assassinate you. They learned about your movements from the Assassin's Guild.
You are a good friend in my mind, I want to help you solve your troubles so that you can focus on investigating the plague..."
Kashin's judgment was similar. The crow might have received the news and wanted to help him solve the problem out of pure kindness.
Looking at the fake badge that was found, there is no other useful information. This miniature crossbow is indeed not a domestic model. In fact, the assassin has washed away all the identity marks.
"Thank you, Senior Crow. This miniature crossbow is well-made. You can keep it as a souvenir! There are also more than 8,000 gold coins in checks from our country. They are indeed well prepared to kill me. This amount of money is enough for them to hide for a long time..."
"Viscount Kashin, when did you come to them?"
"Haha, Senior Crow, to be honest, they have been watching me in the inn opposite the Mercenary Association. My pets discovered them when they were investigating the plague."
"So that's how it is. The plague in the city was quickly brought under control, so Viscount Kashen lost the clue?"
Kashin thought for a while and smiled: "The city lord sent your Assassin Guild to keep an eye on the suspicious people entering and leaving the city in the past few days. There is no news yet, so we divided our forces into three groups and headed to Kent City to conduct an investigation. There is probably something going on there."
All these spoils were given to Crow. As he spoke, he examined the palm-sized miniature crossbow with a clockwork triggering device, a very advanced and useful thing. Noting that there were no conspicuous marks on it, he hung it around his waist with satisfaction for future use.
"Thanks to Viscount Dokashen, I made a small profit. Haha, there's another corpse to search later!"
Kashin smiled and said: "Senior Crow, please lead the way. I will see if there are any clues."
"On the assassin's bounty list, you have already entered the top three, with a bounty of 1.2 million. If you are in the country, foreign assassins will come one after another. Because local assassins are strictly prohibited from attacking you, if you are in a foreign country, the Assassin's Guild will not be able to determine where you are."
"That's right. I've been traveling around the country for a while, which has given the assassination organization an opportunity to take advantage of me. If I'm negligent for a moment, the consequences will be disastrous. What I'm interested in is that there are people whose bounties are higher than mine?"
The two began to chat and mentioned that the number one on the bounty list was none other than Snowy Carnegie. This man had killed hundreds of masters from the Magic Island in a fair and honest manner, shocking the world, and even the Magic Island gave up on the siege on him.
Therefore, the bounty is as high as 8 million magic coins, and it is a bounty provided by large organizations such as the Magic Association Headquarters, the Snowland Guild, and the Snowland Magic Association.
Kashin's bounty seemed insignificant, so it fully proved that killing the opponent was the only way to be safe. With Carnegie's current strength, no one dared to touch him.
Only Blainey is still preparing for Carnegie's action. The submarine was developed for the Carnegie case.
