In a mansion on the edge of the Calimport market area.
A half-elf male who looked slightly overweight was sitting on a chair, staring nervously at the door of the room, as if waiting for something.
He is none other than Mook, who is determined to kill his master and then fly solo.
Although in a chaotic pirate gang, scenes of betrayal like this are quite common.
Some pirate gangs will even kill old captains who cannot lead them to steal more property within a few weeks, and then elect a new captain.
But Hallet is different!
The "Bloody Hand" captain has never experienced even one rebellion since he went to sea.
Because anyone who attempts to betray him will either disappear inexplicably in the end, or be thrown into the sea to feed the fish in their infancy.
After all, Hallett is not one of those mindless idiots who only vent violence and death.
He is very smart and keen. Not only does he know how to control those ambitious minions, but he also has a very close cooperative relationship with the shadow thieves of Amn.
Otherwise, it would have been wiped out by the fleets sent by Ascatella several times.
If it weren't for the fact that Hallett was now imprisoned and captured, Mook would not have dared to take such a gambling risk.
When he thought of the possible horrific revenge if the adventure failed, he was filled with struggle and fear. He immediately asked without raising his head: "How long has it been? Has no one come back yet?"
Another man standing next to him in a dark corner shook his head slightly: "Not yet. But I think it will be soon. After all, Yelnia has received the most rigorous training from the Amn Shadow Thieves and has eradicated hostile forces several times.
The tasks were all completed very well. I don’t think anyone can escape her assassination.”
"I hope so.
After so many years of operation, Hallett’s power is too huge.
Even I don’t know how many secrets he hides and which organizations he cooperates with.
If we fail to kill him this time, what awaits us will be endless revenge.
As for Yelnia, I’m not too worried.
After all, no matter how powerful the power of magic is, the mage himself is fragile.
Many times, you only need a dagger from behind to easily defeat them.
There are not just one or two seemingly powerful mages who have died in our hands over the years.
What's more, this necromancer named Soth is just better at poisoning and deceiving."
After saying this, Mook opened the drawer, took it out, and gently put in a device that looked like a pipe.
When the man in the dark corner saw this, he immediately couldn't help but remind him: "Stop smoking these damn things provided by the red-robed mage! It will not do any good to your body or spirit."
Unfortunately, Muke did not listen to the advice. Just when he was about to suck all the powder into his mouth, the closed door was suddenly knocked open.
A strong man in armor rushed in and shouted in panic: "Monster! Monster! There is a monster! Dead... dead! Everyone is dead!"
"What?! What is going on! Tell me clearly!"
The man standing in the corner suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the other person's collar and asked loudly.
But before he could ask anything, he saw a dull gray hand appear out of thin air, holding a black and non-shining dagger, and thrust it into the bone seam below the strong man's ear at an incredible speed. Poof!
As a mixture of blood and brain spewed out from the wound, the latter stopped breathing and heartbeat before he even had time to scream.
Destroy the brain!
One hit kills!
This extremely familiar assassination technique immediately made the hairs on the man's body stand up, and he immediately subconsciously pulled out the dagger at his waist.
Unfortunately, before he could launch an attack, the dim gray-white hand holding the dagger turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared on the spot, as if it had never appeared.
Only the warm body lying on the ground and the large amount of blood flowing from the wound proved that what just happened was not an illusion.
"What's going on? What happened!"
Mook immediately threw away what he was holding and climbed up from the chair.
However, due to the influence of inhaling a large amount of powder, his consciousness was obviously not very clear and he was unable to maintain balance.
After standing up and walking only two steps, he fell headfirst to the ground.
Vaguely, through his blurred vision, he vaguely saw a group of black mist emerging from the shadows in the corner of the room, slowly condensing into the appearance of a woman, quietly approaching the man standing at the door from behind.
"Be careful!"
Mook shouted in his heart.
But the problem is that he can't control his body at all, and his mouth can't make even the slightest sound.
I could only watch helplessly as the fatal dagger was inserted from the back of the man's heart and penetrated directly through the heart.
The sharpest end tore open the chest, allowing dark red blood to flow out like a fountain.
At the same time, cold negative energy also poured into the body along the wound.
"Yelnya! It's really you! Why... why? How did you become like this?"
The man struggled to turn his head and asked with his last breath.
Sorry!
I can't help myself now.
The female assassin's glowing red eyes revealed indescribable sadness and apology.
Because just now, she had personally killed all the living people in this house.
Including his most cherished friends, partners who carry out dangerous assassination missions together.
Right now, bodies lying in pools of blood can be seen everywhere in the corridors, halls and courtyards outside.
The astonishing efficiency of the Shadow Assassin in assassination is vividly reflected in this dark environment where you can't see your fingers.
Even the two hired arcane spellcasters were easily killed while sleeping.
Every successful killing made Yelniya feel the extreme pain of having her soul and consciousness torn apart, and she even had the idea of suicide more than once.
Unfortunately, this idea was quickly suppressed by the powerful power of control given by the card.
Especially after becoming a shadow servant, she was even cruelly deprived of the ability to cry. No matter how sad she was, she could not express it.
"Well done! You really didn't disappoint me!"
When the man slowly closed his eyes and lost consciousness, Zuo Si, Harlett and Hua Bao appeared in the corridor at the door of the room.
Behind him, there were two werewolves who maintained their animal form.
Obviously, Zuo Si was not idle when Yelnia was killing people in the house.
Instead, bring a manpower to follow behind and collect the magic energy, life energy and valuable loot remaining on the deceased.
Especially the spell books of the two mages, as well as the scrolls, potions and magic equipment they carry with them.
In addition, there are a small number of magic weapons, armor and a large amount of property.
As one of Captain Bloodhand's most important secret strongholds in Calimport, the underground warehouse of this house only contains "trade bars (a precious metal bar made of gold and silver, specially used for bulk cargo transactions)"
, there are at least several hundred yuan.
Now they are all Zuo Si's trophies.
Just look at the furious expression on Hallett's face and you will know how huge economic losses Muke's rebellion has brought to him.
You must know that a large part of this money was originally used to pay ransom.
