Although he had killed many enemies on the battlefield as a soldier and had experienced many life and death scenes, it was not the first time he was preparing to attack like today, but he was still very nervous.
Because the person I have to deal with tonight is not simple, and it is not even on the same level as him.
I am a late-stage seventh-level warrior, and the other party is likely to be a holy-level powerful man!
Others just imagined that if they wanted to participate in this battle, they wouldn't even have the courage to prepare before the action, but Lin Xi had made all the preparations after all, and came here tonight and stood in the man in black.
opposite!
Lin Xi already has courage, but he still lacks confidence. This attack will have a chance of winning at most 50%. Once the remaining 50% happens, Lin Xi will know more about the consequences than anyone else.
No one wants to die, so does Lin Xi.
Faced with the moment when he was about to decide the winner, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Now even his hands holding the round clock were covered in sweat.
"Tick tick"
As the clock moves around, it makes rhythmic subtle sounds constantly. Every time the sound is made, it means that time is approaching again. Looking at the patrol teams shuttle back and forth in the courtyard, Lin Xi forced himself to mediate his emotions and throw them away before the war.
All factors that are unfavorable to oneself.
Learning to control one's emotions is always one of the qualities that a top killer must possess. Lin Xi is not a killer, and he does not regard assassination as his life goal or a way of survival, but tonight, there is no doubt that he is a killer.
As for whether to become a crappy killer or a top killer, it all depends on himself.
Lin Xi, who deeply understood this, took a deep breath and slowly slowed down his too fast heartbeat. Gradually, his eyes returned to calm.
It was just half past twelve, and Lin Xi just finished controlling his emotions.
There is no longer any hesitation and tension in the eyes, but instead there are two rays of light and the unyielding decisive momentum.
A solemn atmosphere began to form around the big locust tree.
Two minutes later.
"What's going on tonight? I feel like I'm always staring at me, and my body is chilly." One of the guards patrolling over muttered.
"It's just that the moon is dark and the wind is high. It seems that the atmosphere is not right. If you want me to say that you are timid and scare yourself. If so many of us patrol together, you are still afraid of being too scared!"
Soon someone laughed at making jokes, which was one of the ways guards often used to relieve sleep and force their spirits.
Lin Xi relied on the convenience of high trees and wide eyes to see the situation in the backyard.
Except for this patrol team that was about to go away, the other two had already walked behind the opposite walls, so they were the only ones left around the locust tree.
"call!"
Just like a slightly stronger wind blowing, the patrol team did not arouse any alert, and Lin Xi, who was flying down, tapped his toes on the ground, like an eagle with black wings spreading, flew forward again, and the target,
It is the last person in this patrol team!
No one would have thought that someone would visit the Earl's Mansion so late, and he would not have thought that this person would take action. However, with Lin Xi's means and strength, even if these third-level guards were prepared in advance, it would be difficult to defend.
The powerful arm stretched forward quickly, and Lin Xi slashed the man's neck with a very impactful but soundless knife.
The body had no bones as if it had eaten cartilage powder. The man lay down softly and fainted.
Lin Xi held the man's body and quickly took him to a dark corner that had been planned in advance.
This is a rugged rock cave in the rockery. The cave is not deep, but the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, and the patrol team will appear here every ten minutes, so Lin Xi is not worried about being discovered unexpectedly.
When he peeled off the clothes of the person who fainted, Lin Xi was suddenly a patrol guard when he came out.
He rushed to the previous patrol team quietly, and no one else noticed that such a big thing had happened in the team in less than a minute.
The patrol team moved forward next to the corner, and joked from time to time to dispel sleepiness. Anyway, the Earl's Mansion is quiet now and there is no problem at all. Moreover, since the last time Lan Ji was killed, no one has entered the game.
After entering the Earl's Mansion, patrol seemed to have become routine.
The Count paid money, and they did things so simple.
When I waited until three o'clock in the morning, the handover work was over, and today's matter came to an end, and money also meant I got it.
Suddenly, a real scream cut through the silent night sky and rang out loudly in the backyard of the Earl's Mansion!
The patrol team was walking in front of him and was still talking a dirty joke. The next moment, the guards saw a blood arrow shot from behind, and a black dagger penetrated into the man's neck artery.
!
"There are assassins!" Someone immediately shouted in the team, calling out to the other two nearby teams patrolling.
"Protect your sir, hurry!"
Among the teams that rushed over, there was obviously a leader shouting quickly, so the three teams were combined into one, not caring about their dead companions, and they had no time to chase the murderer, but rushed into the bedroom of the adult in the backyard like a swarm.
.
Lin Xi was mixed in the team and quietly accelerated his pace, gradually reaching the front end of the entire team.
No one will find that the patrol guard, who is dressed in no strangeness, has changed people, especially in this critical situation and noisy situation.
Everyone's common plan was surprisingly consistent, to protect Count Jorgith.
This is the previous order of the Lord: Once the Earl's Mansion is attacked, do your best to rush to the bedroom to protect my family, the Young Master and others.
At this time, the time was almost twelve:34.
The backyard was in chaos, and the guards held weapons and held torches and quickly arrived in front of a row of bedrooms.
Without waiting for instructions, the dozen people in the front of the team rushed forward, crossed the bushes, passed through the corridor, and arrived in front of Georgis' bedroom. Of course, Lin Xi was included.
Hearing such a big noise outside, Georgis had already opened the door and leaned out.
"Sir, are you okay?" the guard in front asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Georgis replied with a dark face. He happened to be listening to the instructions of the adult in black in the bedroom, and was about to take the space ring containing a million gold coins from the adult's hand.
I was in a bad mood when I went outside, so I was in a bad mood naturally.
"While patrolling in the courtyard, a guard was killed in an attack. Please give me instructions." The guard continued.
On weekdays, Georgies would have left most of the guards behind him, surround him to protect his safety, but the situation was very different tonight. The man in black was in his bedroom.
Are you still afraid of the murderer's sneak attack?
"Go, illuminate the yard and search carefully." Jorgis waved his hand, indicating that so many people were not needed to protect him, but he also knew that the search was just a gesture, and the murderer should have escaped.
The guards took the order and prepared to withdraw from here with the others.
