Chapter 708: Handing a Knife to Kill

Chapter 708: Handing a Knife to Kill

After Luke returned to the hotel, he summoned Princess Julia early the next morning and told her about the incident.

"There will definitely be an ambush on the way to the capital."

Julia asked Luke in confusion.

"Why are you so sure?"

"The other party is not a fool. You have not shown up for a long time since Warlock Congreve arrived in the capital."

"If I were the other side's commander, I would definitely understand that you are still on the way."

"As long as we guard all the roads leading to the capital and set up ambushes, we will definitely wait for you."

Princess Julia asked Luke after a long silence.

"Then what should we do? Will there be any problems if we continue to follow the caravan?"

Luke shook his head.

"I don't know. There are too many people in the caravan. If you ask carefully, you will find out that we joined them halfway."

"You and Wanda's feminine features cannot be hidden. The other party will definitely be suspicious."

Luke described the situation as serious.

Princess Julia also looked anxious.

But she suddenly looked up and was stunned when she saw that Wanda and Luke both looked calm.

"Mr. Dutton, you must have a solution, right?"

Luke smiled and nodded.

"I need your token. Go to the capital and contact Warlock Congreve before the caravan leaves."

Princess Julia agreed immediately.

"No problem, either a keepsake or a letter will do."

"That's best."

"You...you can really get around by yourself?"

Luke smiled and pointed at himself.

"I am an obvious man, and they can't suspect me no matter how much they suspect me."

"As soon as Warlock Congreve gets the news, he will send someone to pull out the nails."

Princess Julia asked Luke curiously:

"Why didn't you send someone to pick us up?"

Luke raised the corners of his mouth.

"He was ambushed by the Vatican several times and returned to Rota in disgrace. If he doesn't take this opportunity to retaliate, he will no longer be a Grand Secretary."

"At this time, the United Kingdom of Tire is negotiating with the Holy See, and the Holy See will definitely not recognize it."

"Then, if Congreve eliminates those who set up the ambush, the Church will suffer a loss."

"When everything is settled, I will pick you up openly. This is the only way to maximize the benefits."

Luke's analysis made Julia fall into deep thought.

Although she is still a girl, she is also the future monarch of a country.

Luke was giving her a heads up.

She was not stupid and soon understood.

However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Luke revealed a sense of resentment.

If this were my man...

Another day of envying Ms. Maximov.

Although Princess Julia could see that there was indeed no romantic relationship between Wanda and Luke.

The two are more like comrades who have fought side by side for many years.

Often, we don’t need to say anything; we can understand each other’s meaning with just a glance.

Even so, Princess Julia was very envious.

She really doesn't want to let go of such an outstanding man.

But my teacher said that even if I can’t recruit him, I can’t make him my enemy either.

Congreve took Wanda's case very seriously at first.

But as they came into contact more, he keenly realized that Luke was the one in charge of the two.

And watch Luke fight.

Although he did not show any other aspects, his strange body movements and swordsmanship showed that he was not an ordinary person.

He had only seen this kind of swordsmanship in one person, or to be more precise, had heard of it.

That is the legendary swordsman: Tom Diego de la Vega.

Too bad the ages don't match.

De La Vega also disappeared for several years.

Otherwise, Congreve would really suspect that it was the old man.

But since Luke is so powerful and mysterious, surely nothing will happen to the princess when she is with him.

bang bang bang~

Congreve heard the window rattle and immediately became alert.

But then, he let down his guard.

He, the Assassin, Luke Altaïr Ezio Qin, jumped in through the window dressed in a white Assassin costume.

"Grandmaster, long time no see. The princess asked me to bring you a message..."

Grand Maester Congreve nodded.

"So it's you, boy. Why aren't you with the princess?"

Then Luke told him what happened along the way.

"Now, there are their people on every road within reach of the capital, but they are all disguised."

Needless to say, if Grand Maester Congreve doesn't even take advantage of this opportunity, then he is not a core figure of the Warlock Guild.

"Okay, go back and wait for news. Once I have arranged everything, I will send someone to pick up the princess."

Luke placed the token and the princess' letter on the table.

He saluted Grand Maester Congreve with his hand on his chest.

Then, he jumped onto the windowsill and jumped down...

Congreve took the letter and was about to open it when he found Luke jumping out of the window.

Suddenly, I was shocked.

This is the 5th floor.

The 5th floor here is not an ordinary 5th floor.

You know, the buildings in this world, like this guild ancillary building, have very high floor heights.

The fifth floor here is more than thirty meters high...

Congreve hurried to the window sill and looked down, but found nothing.

There is not even a shadow of a person...

This also surprised Congreve.

This method of coming and going without a trace is simply the nemesis of warlocks...

When Luke came, he, the Grand Secretary, didn't notice anything.

After he left, he couldn't even catch up with anyone.

Luke suddenly became a little interested in cosplay in another world.

It feels so good to pretend silently...

Luke rushed back to the city where he was staying in the middle of the night.

The next morning, Luke found the leader of the caravan.

They said they would issue a few more tasks here, so we would not travel with the caravan the rest of the way.

Although Luke had originally agreed that they could go together without charging any fees.

But the person in charge still enthusiastically gave Luke 100 gold coins.

These 100 gold coins are a steal to hire a level warlock.

They said I didn’t have to pay, but they understand the ways of the world.

Luke happily accepted it.

The two also left their contact information.

I hope we can continue to cooperate with you if we have the opportunity.

Of course, this is just thought.

Wanda went to the capital, she must be promoted to a mentor-level warlock.

By then, the caravan won’t be able to afford the money.

The cost of hiring a third-level warlock is much different from that of hiring a mentor-level warlock.

These days, Luke took Wanda to the Warlock Guild from time to time to issue some collection tasks.

Also buy some souvenirs in this city.

The three of them still looked like they were traveling, looking for delicious food shops everywhere.

And so, several days passed.

During this time, Luke went out of town every night to monitor the group.

Finally, that night, the people from the Warlock Guild took action.

Four grandmaster-level warlocks have arrived.

There are 6 mentors here.

This kind of high-end game does not depend on the overall number, but on the number of experts.

Warlocks are sneak attacks.

He crippled the opponent in one encounter.

The warlocks had clear division of labor. Once the opponent lost his fighting power, they would immediately stop and send people to control the person.

Without any lingering feelings, they went their separate ways.

A group of people took the prisoners and headed towards the capital.

Another group of people waited for the people on the street.

Just as they finished their rest, they suddenly looked towards the forest next to them.

"who?"
