Chapter 594 Catching up with the Dark Priest

After eating and drinking, Anqi reported that the two of them had run more than a mile on the ridge. The silver wolf had also discovered it. After Kashin jumped off his mount, he followed the silver wolf down the north slope to take a look...

After going down more than a hundred meters, he saw bloodstains, so he began to dig the soil under the sniffing of the silver wolf...

The crow assassin coming down from above laughed and said, "Viscount Kashen, your pet is so powerful that it can detect the situation from a mile away!"

Kashin smiled and said, "It should have noticed the situation a long time ago, and saw us eating, so it didn't disturb us." Kashin had a shovel in his hand that could cut iron like mud.

He asked the digging silver wolf to move aside, and found the body after digging a few times: "Is he a member of your assassin organization? It is said that he was entrusted by the city lord to keep an eye on the people entering and leaving Donzhu City these days..."

The crow took out the mask from the package, put candy in his mouth, and began to prepare for the autopsy. He said:

"The deceased is indeed an assassin brother. I recognize him. Although he is wearing a hunter's uniform, he is a mid-level assassin, codenamed Coffin Nail... I just don't understand. If he is buried one meter deep, does your reconnaissance bird have X-ray vision..."

"Haha, Angel just discovered that there are fluctuations of dark elements here, so it's right for the Dark Priest to escape by this route. Of course Angel didn't find the corpse, but our Silver Wolf smelled something unusual..."

"I see! Viscount Kashin, do we still need an autopsy?"

"No need for that. The assassin brother was accidentally discovered. He probably died in the early morning, so just chase him. At this moment, the shadow priest can't run away at all. Angel has already caught up with him."

The crows paid a great tribute to the dead, reburied them and carved their names on trees, and they had to chase them down. The Assassins' Guild was responsible for collecting the bodies.

This time Crow had taken on a big job, and he would never let the shadow priest get away. Back on the ridge again, the two ran at full speed towards Kent City...

In fact, when the shadow priest went to Kent City, he fell into a trap, and there was a magician "waiting" for him there.

Around dusk, An Qi had already given the warning, and the dark priests had already started to go down the mountain, preparing to walk to the post road...

Kashen said: "The shadow priest has appeared. He has no mount and relies entirely on his legs to travel. Maybe he is not good at riding, but his mobility is not weak. Maybe he will be with you. Be careful next time..."

"What? A shadow priest would be an assassin, that's impossible!"

"The essence of a dark priest is a priest who can control the dark element. Their cultivation is not limited to any one profession. The Church trains them according to their talents.

So they are essentially professionals in dark element magic, and there are many believers all over the world. Once such talents are discovered, they will be taken away from their parents by the church and their whereabouts will be unknown from then on."

"Wouldn't that mean he is a hundred times more powerful than us assassins?"

Kashen nodded: "Priest training, black magic, talented professional training, and everyone is knowledgeable. Putting these conditions together, the shadow priest is destined to be very powerful. How can you be his opponent! Those top magicians have fallen into their hands..."

"What should we do? Can we assassins just let them go? We can't fight them..."

Kashin laughed loudly: "Don't overestimate your ability in close combat, especially since the shadow priest is traveling with you. You have no chance to assassinate him. You can only win by wits." As they talked, the two hurried down the mountain ridge in advance.

The dark priest was dressed in a simple merchant's attire and looked to be about 40 years old. His weathered face revealed a calmness and sophistication, as if he had experienced countless trials and tribulations.

As soon as he set foot on the post road, he felt a little exhausted, so he walked without hesitation under a big tree, found a comfortable place to sit down and rest.

He slowly opened the package he was carrying and carefully took out a piece of fragrant bread and some tempting smoked chicken. He first carefully examined the food in his hand for a while, then nodded with satisfaction and began to eat it.

He ate every bite with gusto, his face filled with satisfaction. After eating, he closed his eyes again, leaned against the tree trunk to rest for a while, and let his body relax for a moment.

However, the dark priest was completely unaware at the moment that a huge crisis was quietly approaching him - the magician was hunting him down frantically!

The reason why he left the original place was simply because he found that the raging plague suddenly broke out quickly, and it became meaningless to continue staying here. So, after careful consideration,

He decided to retreat back to Kent City first and report what happened there in detail.

They came by boat, and each of them detonated the plague according to their plan. Pumasai had already produced a large amount of antidote in the past few months, so this move was meaningless, and the cardinal needed further instructions...

After a short rest, the dark priest set off. He could only sleep soundly at the city gate, so he got up, took an iron rod and a package, and continued on his way under the moonlight...

About ten minutes later, Kashen appeared at the place where the dark priest had rested.

He frowned slightly and carefully looked around. The air was filled with the faint smell of smoked chicken and butter, and the mixture of these two smells seemed particularly abrupt in this somewhat empty resting place.

Kashin's eyes were like those of an eagle, and he would not miss any possible clues.

"Haha, I caught up." Kashin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile, and then said...

"According to Anqi's vision, this place is about ten miles away from Kent City. He is really traveling at a very fast speed. He is traveling so fast that I have to spend some effort to catch up with him."

As Kashin spoke, he stretched his aching arms. The long journey and pursuit had made his body a little tired, but his eyes were still full of determination, and he had no intention of retreating.

After hearing Kashin's words, Senior Crow said confidently:

"My crow is following him! It can't run away." The voice of the senior crow was full of trust in his pet.

Although the crow looks ordinary, it has many unknown abilities due to the careful training of Senior Crow.

When it comes to tracking, a crow is like a silent shadow, following its target closely and not easily discovered.

Kashin listened to Senior Crow's words and nodded in agreement:

"At this moment, your ordinary little bird will not attract his attention. My Angel is hovering at an altitude of 400 meters, and its field of vision can just cover a range of 10 miles.

I have already told it to focus on the shadow priests, but it must not get too close to the target. You know, to deal with these shadow priests, you can only use your wits and courage, and any negligence may lead to failure. "

Kashen was well aware of the cunningness of the shadow priests. They were like poisonous snakes hiding in the darkness, ready to launch fatal attacks at any time.

After hearing what Kashin said, Senior Crow felt a little unwilling. He gritted his teeth and said:

"I really can't kill him. To be honest, I'm not convinced. I have to try."

There was a kind of stubbornness in Crow's eyes. In his career as an assassin, there were very few situations that made him feel frustrated, and Shadow Priest was one of them.
