Recognizing that the opponent was a level 7 swordsman, Ruian was shocked and held the long sword in his hand for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the assassin did not take advantage of the vulnerability revealed by Ryan to attack. Instead, he took the opportunity to escape and escaped at a faster speed.
"Don't go!" The other party wanted to run away, so Ruian naturally wanted to chase him. He shouted and quickly caught up.
However, once a level 7 swordsman started running, Ruian, a level 6 swordsman, could not catch up with him. Even if Ruian used his fastest speed to catch up, he was gradually pulled away.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them ran hundreds of meters away. Ryan was pulled thirty or forty meters away, and the manor's wall was right in front of him.
If you don't have any tools, you can't climb over a four- to five-meter-high wall with your bare hands alone. Even a level 7 swordsman can't climb over it in an instant. It will take a while. Powerful
Dou Qi can make people jump higher, but it cannot make people jump up to four or five meters high. Only a level 7 swordsman of the wind system who specializes in body skills can jump that high.
Just when Ryan thought that the wall could stop the assassin for a moment and allow him to catch up with him, an unexpected scene occurred. The assassin jumped up to a height of more than three meters, and then reached out to grab a rope hanging from the edge of the wall.
, with a little help, his body suddenly lifted up, and he stepped onto the wall in the blink of an eye.
The assassin did not jump down and escape in a hurry, but looked back at Ryan.
At this time, Ruian had already caught up to a distance of twenty meters. He saw a smile in the eyes of the assassin with his hood revealed, as if he was happy that he could succeed, and he seemed to be laughing at Ruian for not overestimating his own abilities.
Ruian couldn't help but feel angry. But before Ruian could react, the assassin had already jumped off the wall.
Ryan quickly chased under the wall, learned the way of an assassin, and jumped. Unfortunately, the height of his jump was not high enough, nearly three meters high. He just couldn't grab the rope hanging from the wall with his left hand. At the critical moment, Ryan stepped on it with both feet.
After stepping on the wall twice, Kankan raised his body half a meter and grabbed the rope with his left hand.
With the pull of the rope, Ryan quickly climbed up the wall. His fighting spirit was one level lower than that of a level 7 swordsman assassin, so he reluctantly climbed up the wall as quickly as possible.
Ruian looked up and vaguely noticed through the moonlight that the assassin had run fifty or sixty meters away. He sighed lightly and did not jump off the wall to continue chasing.
After a moment, the assassin disappeared into the darkness and was no longer visible. Ryan turned around and jumped back into the wall. He wanted to go back as soon as possible to see how Vic was doing.
On the way back, Ruian's face was livid, and his mind kept thinking about the assassin. Suddenly, Ruian felt cold sweat break out, and he was frightened for a while. He had just chased the assassin, without worrying that the assassin was a level 7 swordsman, and now after losing him
Then he felt a little scared: "I am no match for a level 7 swordsman. Even if I catch up, I will be defeated or even killed by the opponent. I was too impulsive and reckless just now."
"But why did the 7th Assassin run away? With his strength, it is not very difficult to kill everyone in the Oseidon family. Even if he doesn't want to kill people, he doesn't have to run away in such a hurry. He just needs to kill everyone in the manor.
Defeat everyone, and then leave calmly. However, it’s a good thing he escaped. Otherwise, I would have been defeated again.” The more Ruian thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was seriously injured by a level 7 swordsman last time, and he was deeply worried about level 7.
The swordsman felt a strong sense of fear.
"This assassin's strength doesn't seem to be as strong as I imagined. After fighting him for half a move, I feel that he is not so strong that I can't resist. Is he a newly promoted level 7 swordsman? This seems to be the only reason.
Explanation." Ruian didn't expect that it had been more than a year since he was defeated by a level 7 swordsman last time. Over the past year or so, Ruian had also made great progress, narrowing the distance between him and the level 7 swordsman.
Although he is still unable to compete with a level 7 swordsman.
In his wild thoughts, Ryan quickly returned to Vic's attic. Outside the attic, he saw a few young guards from the family scattered around, guarding them as if they were facing an enemy. No one else was seen, presumably all of them were inside.
As Ryan approached the door, he heard a burst of crying coming from the second floor of the attic. He could clearly distinguish the voices of Fairley, Gaudi and Butler Aberdeen. Ryan's face changed and he thought to himself: "Earl Vic doesn't
Will he be killed?"
"Lord Ruian, have you caught up with the assassin?" A young guard asked anxiously. Although the Oseidon family has declined, it still has to hire a few guards. However, the family is too poor and can only hire those who are young and not very big.
A low-level swordsman with the potential to be promoted. These young guards have seen Ruian show his prowess these days and admire Ruian very much.
Ruian shook his head and replied casually: "No, he ran away." He immediately ignored the other person and quickly entered the attic and stepped onto the second floor.
In the room, I saw Vic lying on the bed, his body covered with blood, his eyes closed and motionless. Fairlie and Gaudi were lying on the bedside, crying bitterly to Vic. Housekeeper Abenben was standing far away, and he was also there.
Crying bitterly. Chief Shapu stood in charge of Aberdeen. Although he did not cry, the sadness on his face was no weaker than that of Aberdeen's steward.
Ketisha also came, standing next to Fairlie, and was constantly comforting Fairlie.
As soon as Ruian entered the room, everyone inside immediately turned around and looked at Ruian.
Immediately, Fairlie stood up and threw herself in front of Ryan, crying and shouting: "Brother Ryan, my father was killed."
Ryan's face darkened and became extremely ugly. He was only slightly sad, but more angry. Ryan did not comfort Fairlie immediately, but walked to the bed to check on Vic.
A wound as big as a bowl appeared in the middle of Vic's chest, almost penetrating his body. Apparently, the assassin stabbed Vic directly in the chest, killing him with one blow.
Ryan was silent, thinking in his mind like crazy. This was a long-planned assassination. Who ordered the assassin? Why did he assassinate Vic? Why did he assassinate Vic alone and not others? So why did he assassinate Vic?
The strength of the assassin's level 7 swordsman is more than enough to destroy the entire Oseidon family. Moreover, the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes are
Aren't you afraid that the Kaouya Empire will pursue you? You know, if a hereditary earl is assassinated, it will cause a sensation in the entire Kaouya Empire. The Kaouya Empire must investigate and find the murderer, otherwise it will cause harm to Kaouya
The reputation of the empire is an influence. Who dares to take such a big risk and commit an assassination?
The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Since Ryan was not from Kaouya and had little knowledge of Fal City, he was at a loss for so many questions.
Suddenly, Fairly seemed to remember something, stopped crying and asked, "Brother Ryan, did you catch the assassin just now?" In her words, sadness was mixed with endless anger.
Ryan turned around, looked at Fairly and Gaudi, shook his head and said, "He is a level 7 swordsman. I can't catch up with him."
"Level 7 swordsman?" Fairly and Gaudy shouted at the same time, "Brother Ryan, does he know who he is?"
"He has a hood on his head, so you can't see clearly what he looks like. However, I guess he is a level 7 swordsman who has just been promoted. His strength is weaker than those of the veteran level 7 swordsmen." He paused.
After a pause, Ryan thought for a moment and then said, "If I fight him again, I will definitely be able to tell who is coming."
Suddenly, Fairlie and Gaudi continued to cry helplessly.
For a moment, Ruian didn't know how to comfort the siblings. He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know if the Oseidon family has any enmity with anyone?"
Ruian wanted to turn the sadness of the siblings into hatred and thus turn it into the motivation for their future life.
Sure enough, the siblings gradually stopped crying and lowered their heads to think.
After a moment, Fairlie shook her head and said: "Our family has been adhering to the principle of tolerance in all things for decades and never made enemies with easy people. Therefore, my father almost never offended anyone."
Ruian thought about it. If the Oseidon family hadn't tolerated everything, they wouldn't have been in decline for hundreds of years without being wiped out. If they really had a grudge against someone so deep that they wanted to kill someone, they would act like most of the Kaouya people.
Those who pursue force and have a fierce and aggressive personality, how can those who have enmity with the Oseidon family let go of the Oseidon family who are so weak that they can be slaughtered by others?
"Think again, who are the people who you have not offended, but who want to bully you?" Ruian asked again, remembering that many people came to make trouble on weekdays.
"There are too many people. There are many people in Fal City who covet our family's things, are jealous of our family's title, and want to bully us from time to time." Very unexpectedly, it was Gaudi who answered this time. His words were full of anger, and his eyes were even more dangerous.
Showing a hint of murderous intent. For a long time, Gaudí's character may have been relatively weak due to the influence of his father and sister, and he was not at all like the tough and tough character unique to the Kaoa people. But at this moment, when his father was assassinated and died, Gaudí's
His personality began to change.
"Among them, which family bullies your family the most?" In fact, Ruian had asked this question a long time ago, but now Ruian wanted to ask it one more time to make the siblings less sad.
This time it was Fairlie who answered. She has assisted her father in managing the family in the past few years and has a clearer understanding of the family's situation: "There is a marquis family in Fal City now. They don't think much of our family and they don't bully our family, but we can't talk about it."
The superior treats us well and just treats us as an ordinary family. There are also several earl families in Fal City, as well as
We all have a bad relationship, and they have banded together to exclude us. Among them are two or three emerging earl families who often bully our family. As for the other viscounts and barons, seeing that our family has declined, many of them like to bully us on weekdays.
family, or purchase various ancestral items and properties from our family.”
With the detailed description, Fairlie's sadness eased a little.
"Tell me, who bullies you the most and the most excessively?" Ruian's tone was a little cold.
Immediately, Fairly and Gaudi said in unison, and their anger completely burst out: "Count Ahan." (This site. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
