Chapter 103：

The Caprini man sitting at the head is majestic and majestic, even the horns on his head are like tall and straight green pine, which can be seen at a glance, but the lady next to him is not Letania Capri at all. They are not the Ni tribe, but the Lupu tribe with a pair of wolf ears.

This pair of "wolves in love with sheep" is the current Grand Duke Karl of Letania and his grand princess Sophie.

The stinging man tapped his cane on the floor and came to them without any haste. Then he took off his top hat and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Dear Grand Duke and beautiful lady, with all sincerity..."

"Excuse me for the unnecessary words. Do you really think that you are invited as a guest? I just want to urge you to bring your master to face him. When will he be able to fulfill his promise!"

It was not Grand Duke Karl who interrupted him, but Princess Sophie. It stands to reason that even if the Grand Duke is really a strict wife, the nobleman is a nobleman after all, and he should give him some face in front of outsiders, but Princess Sophie is right now. There was no concealment of the real relationship between the husband and wife, and even the envoy just smiled slightly when he saw this scene.

The curves of the face are more full of haze.

"Necessary etiquette, it is still necessary at any time, madam, you are too impatient, my lord will of course fulfill his promise to you."

"Hmph! Do you think I don't know anything? He was defeated by several remnants of the rebels exiled from Kazdel on his own territory, and even the deserters who fled the battle fled to the territory of Letania. , if I don't urge him now, then he will disappear from the world like before, and he will completely take this account!"

"Hehe, your news is very well-informed. In this case, please forgive me and explain it to Madam for my lord."

I saw that the envoy, who was as tall and thin as a dead tree in the wilderness, was not afraid of Princess Sophie's questioning, as if the two most powerful people in Letania in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"Since it is called an accident, it cannot be predicted and avoided in advance, but since it has already happened, it must still be within my lord's plan."

"...The tone is so loud, why don't you just explain that this is a show that you Ursus and those Kazdel rebels conspired to perform?"

"Hehehe, no, it is precisely because it was not performed by us that it can reflect the value of this accident. The delay you are worried about is just that my lord is re-enacting the next strategy to make it more in line with the current situation That's all. As for the promise to Madam, needless to say, my lord will definitely help your young master become the new king of Letania!"

It turns out that what Princess Sophie has been emphasizing repeatedly is to let her own son take charge of the kingship of Letania. She did not shy away from being the husband of the Grand Duke, because the two seem to have a tacit understanding. Privately called by his wife a political trash and a coward.

Grand Duke Karl is very open-minded. Anyway, the richness and water are not left to outsiders. He can still occupy power when his son becomes king. As for the dignity of the husband? A coward in politics doesn't mean he's a coward in other aspects too. He sometimes makes Princess Sophie, a ferocious she-wolf, call her father...

In some ways, the two of them were indeed true love.

And what Mrs. Sophie did in Wollenmud was precisely to give her son a position and eliminate his opponents. Originally, this "small trick" didn't need her to do it at all, but who asked her to spend a lot of money to support Ursas? What if the ally suddenly lost the chain?

It wasn't until this time that Princess Sophie began to reflect that she was indeed too impatient, otherwise how could she have believed... the promise of a snake so easily?

Chapter 291 When I got angry, I made a monkey rubber band into a slingshot and hit the glass in your house

"Please rest assured, my dear Grand Duchess, my lord will never give up your support, and you obviously need my lord's action to achieve your goal, otherwise, even if you uproot the opposition, it may be very difficult for you to face it." Blame on the Lord of the Tower? Therefore, you have no choice but to believe in my Lord."

Princess Sophie frowned when she heard the words, not only because of the threatening words of the other party.

But this envoy is really too **** eloquent today. Princess Sophie has met him several times in the past. Although they are as polite as today, the envoy is not a diplomatic ambassador sent by the country. Call it a slave, the gap in status has been decided from the beginning.

No matter how calm he is, there will be humility engraved in the bone marrow in every move he makes when facing nobles.

But today, he seems to have completely reborn, from a shrewd servant to a scheming, well-established aristocrat, and even able to force the wolf princess who is so cunning and ambitious that Grand Duke Karl willingly handed over his power to be speechless. right.

Even if his master really rewarded him with a noble title, it wouldn't be able to change in a while, right?

Princess Sophie with a wolf's nose seemed to smell something unusual, but she couldn't immediately think of anything because she didn't know the inside story, and...something more urgent than that interrupted her thoughts.

Bang!

The side window of the hall suddenly shattered, and a feathered arrow was shot obliquely on the table in the center of the living room, directly shooting through and shattering one of the bottles of red wine prepared on the table. When they got their attention, they saw with their own eyes that a small object tied to the shaft of the arrow was flashing red.

There is also a slight beeping sound.

boom!

There was a violent explosion on the wine table, and the gorgeous flames swept through dozens of high-end red wine bottles bursting out of the wine, splashing the flames into the entire hall in an instant, like a chef who just poured a large amount of cooking wine the frying pan, the flames are several feet high.

It's just that what's cooking in the pot is not a steak, but a sheep, a wolf... and a snake.

Princess Sophie made a decisive decision at the moment of the explosion, and directly lifted the luxurious dress on her body as a cloak, shielding herself and the Grand Duke from the splashed on-fire wine, and then threw the skirt, with the agility that fully fit Luper's physique He kicked open the door of the living room with one kick.

It wasn't until they had just escaped from the living room that the servant ran over to report in a panic.

"Master, an assassin has broken in!"

"Nonsense! You don't need to talk about this? How did the problem break in? Are the guards and defense systems here just decorations!?"

In front of the servant, it was finally Grand Duke Karl's turn to speak. He pointed to the fire in the living room, and the anger on his face seemed to be even hotter than that, so he didn't even slap the servant on the face. After all, he Just a domestic servant who brings tea and water, not the captain of the guard who should be responsible for it.

The servant looked at the door of the living room, trembling with fright for a moment and dared not say a word, but fortunately, a team of heavily armed guards from the Duke's Palace had arrived and knelt down in front of Grand Duke Karl.

"Master, the incident happened suddenly and the situation is urgent. Please go to a safe place to take shelter first."

"Where is Samuel! Let him explain to me, what does it mean when things happen suddenly!? Why are there fewer sentries and spell detection units in the house? What are the responsibilities of you guards! Don't tell me that you have not yet People can operate that defense system!"

Samuel is the Chief Guard of the Grand Duke's Mansion and is responsible for all security arrangements.

In addition to the normal manpower patrols and guards in the Grand Duke's Mansion, there are of course semi-automatic spell units like the "gramophone". But much more advanced and sensitive than that.

But in fact, before Archduke Karl was personally attacked, no one came to inform him about the suspicious situation of someone breaking in. If he happened to be standing by the window just now, wouldn't he have been shot to death by an arrow?

"I'm sorry, sir. It's really unclear how the outsiders broke in. Chief Samuel is leading a team to search for and capture the assassin, and arrange personnel to check whether the equipment is malfunctioning or disturbed. The captain said that after the danger is completely eliminated , he will come to you to plead guilty."

They really couldn't find it, because the entire Terra defense system has the same loophole, even the most advanced economic and technological Longmen is no exception, that is air defense, only the equipment used to cut off the transmission signal of drones, There is no such thing as an air-to-air radar.

When a living person...no, when a huge eagle flew into the Grand Duke's mansion from high altitude without any disguise, not only did their spell units not respond, even the guards who witnessed it didn't take it seriously .

The manor is not a no-fly zone at the airport. There are too many birds in the sky, and it is not uncommon to attract an eagle that catches birds and eats them. Doesn’t the Grand Duke need to hire a group of snipers dedicated to hunting birds?

The Grand Duke snorted coldly. He was not stupid enough to deal with the person responsible at such a juncture. He just vented his emotions and let the people below know how angry he was. But just as he was about to take Princess Sophie And when the envoy went to evacuate together, the intercom at the waist of the squad leader who came to protect him suddenly rang.

"Honorable Grand Duke Leitania, have you received my greeting gift? Do you like it?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the sound, and the captain himself was even more astonished, because it was obviously not the voice of anyone he knew. If the intercom channel was not hacked by technology, it would be that the intercom of other guard captains was stolen up.

The former means that their deployment has long been figured out, and if it is the latter, although these Grand Duke's guards are not at the top level of Letania in terms of force, but in terms of professional quality and loyalty, it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake. It's such a low-level mistake.

It could only be that a guard team had already been wiped out by the assassins.

Grand Duke Karl waved his hand at the squad leader, motioning to pretend that he was not there. The squad leader picked up the walkie-talkie after he understood, and yelled inside.

"Who are you! How did you break into the channel to talk!?"

"Hmm... Your impetuous tone doesn't sound like a pampered grand duke. Could it be that he didn't dare to answer me in person? Sure enough, it's the same as the rumors, but it doesn't matter. I know he can hear it."

"As for how I'm talking here, of course someone kindly gave me his equipment, that... what's your name? Come and tell your Grand Duke."

There was a sound of footsteps over the intercom, followed by the muffled sound of something heavy being thrown on the ground, like a sack full of potatoes, or a person.

After a while, the voice of another man coughing blood came from the team leader's walkie-talkie. Although he seemed to want to raise his voice and growl, he still seemed weak.

"...Stop, stop! Cough cough cough, you lunatic, Samuel, my name is Samuel!"

Chapter 292 Wolf? Red Cub Alert!

"Master, you must be careful with this guy, he is not an ordinary assassin, he is a wolf..."

Boom! Bang!

There was a clear and pleasant pounding sound from the side of the walkie-talkie, followed by the clinking sound of debris being smashed by something flying in, and the head of the guard, Samuel, never made a sound again.

But the last word he said was heard by everyone. Maybe others didn't understand what it meant, but Princess Sophie, who was Ruper, couldn't ignore it at all.

If Samuel wanted to reveal the race of the assassin before he died, how could he say it was the Lupus, not the wolf? The title of wolf is only used by the Lupers themselves, and Samuel, as the chief guard trusted by Archduke Karl, is of course also a Caprini native of Letania.

So in Princess Sophie's view, the only explanation may be the organization called "Wolf" from her hometown Syracuse.

The people on the Grand Duke's side held their breath for a long while, and the man's arrogant words sounded again from the noisy background of the walkie-talkie.

"Your Honorable Grand Duke probably doesn't know who I am. How can I let a passing character easily spoil the ending? When I put this assassin's blade on my neck, the answer will naturally be revealed."

"But please make no mistake, this is not a stage play for an audience, it is ... a war to be witnessed."

-------------------------------------------------- ----------

Qiao Ge slapped the walkie-talkie to pieces with his claws. Besides the head of the Grand Duke's Guard who was kicked into the wall by his kick, there was a whole team of "corpses" lying around him.

This can't blame them for being too weak. It's really that Wolf Spirit's stealth ability is impossible to defend against. After reaching the end of the team and killing one with a muffled sound, they can continue to be invisible. In this way, they can be eaten away step by step. I'm afraid only Big Bob This kind of heavy equipment with thick armor and no weaknesses can be guarded against.

However, when he finally faced Samuel, he deliberately turned into a wolf form, so that he misled Princess Sophie when he spoke. If the organization in her hometown came to assassinate the Grand Duke, she would definitely protect her husband herself.

After all, she is the royal family of Syracuse. Since the "Wolf" is an organization similar to the "Templar Knights", no matter how you say it, you should give her some face.

But really, what Samuel really wanted to say was...

"This guy is no ordinary assassin, not even a human at all! He's a **** wolf!"

However, doing so will also face a very big risk, because it will make Princess Sophie more serious. If one is not careful, Jogo may have to face many Leitanian army magicians, and even the royal tower magician. Master, who knows if there is any detection of invisibility in these people's weird Originium skills?

But risks and benefits coexist, the bigger the scene, the more enjoyable he is... No, the higher the synchronization rate that can be unlocked, you must know that Connor was a man who entered and exited seven times in the War of Independence, and could even fight alone Tyrant Washington with golden apples.

The setting of the golden apple in "Assassin's Creed" is an artifact used by the ancestors of the First Civilization to rule their slave races. There is no doubt that this refers to human beings, which is equivalent to carrying a red alert mind control tower with you. It can also release powerful energy shocks and shields.

Compared with such a wall-mounted artifact, the level of Originium skill is just that.

"Cough, cough, where did you come from, a mad dog? How dare you make trouble in the Grand Duke's Mansion. Even if you can get out of here, the whole of Letania will regard you as a public enemy, and your final ending will only be to become a tower wizard's invincible Soul puppet!"

Samuel is worthy of being the Chief Guard of the Grand Duke's Mansion. In this situation, not only did he not beg for mercy, but his mental strength was not weakened. He slapped Qiao Ge frantically while covering his chest injury.

However, after this reminder, it reminded Jogo of one thing. It seems that the tower masters in Letania have an internal secret, which is to infiltrate the human body through the origin stone crystals exposed on the surface of the infected person. Until it is completely controlled, it becomes a puppet of the living dead.

Although it sounds like it only works on the Infected, since this skill is so powerful, how could the tower wizards not extend it further? They will spread a kind of origin stone dust with excessive radiation in the air. Once a certain dose is inhaled by the victim, it will only take a few hours to be transformed into a puppet.

It's just that what was created in this way was not an infected person, but something that Jogo was very familiar with.

herd.

That's right, Mephisto's herd is likely to come from tower wizards, and if the collusion between Princess Sophie and Ursus is confirmed, it is basically certain that she is the one who sponsored this skill to The man behind the integration movement.

But the horror of this skill is not limited to the battlefield. The political benefits it earns are also one of the reasons why the tower wizard has an extremely high status in Letania. The dead sister, so that she can become a puppet on the throne to maintain his dominance.

Jogo used his wolf claws to draw several deep groove-like marks on the floor. Reasonably, he became more determined to kill Princess Sophie.

"Mr. Samuel, first of all, I have to appreciate your loyalty to your master. In this cruel world, you are like the rare twilight. You should be respected, but it is a pity, just like I said to the Grand Duke. Yes, this is a war, and it's up to you to choose the loser."

Samuel's eyes widened suddenly, just because he saw with his own eyes that Jhogo turned into a human form at this time, walking slowly towards him at a leisurely pace.

"You, how can you?"

"Huh? Why can't I, this is a talent gained from a trial, and today will be a new trial for me, although let you high tower wizards come here with those terrible skills, What doesn't kill me...just makes me stronger."

laugh.

The Hidden Blade pierced Samuel's jaw without any hindrance. As he knelt on the ground with his hands on his neck, a stream of blood overflowed from his fingers. He also became the first serious assassin to die today. people.

And others? Of course he died at the hands of a berserker, even if it was a stealthy assassination from behind, Jogo still felt that an ax would be better.

Chapter 293 Dr. Traffic Police: Stop, run over traffic police, hit and run, you are arrested

"'Wolf'? How could it be 'Wolf'!? What enmity do I have with Syracuse! Why did they come to assassinate me??"

Sure enough, as Jogo expected, when the grand duke and his wife were placed in a separate protection place, Princess Sophie immediately told Grand Duke Karl of her conjecture. Out of trust in Samuel and his wife, the grand duke almost heard it Believe it, there is no doubt at all.

Besides, if he really had the wisdom to draw inferences from one instance, Princess Sophie would have already started to support him, so why wait to raise an older son.

"'Wolf' doesn't just represent Syracuse, they themselves yearn for absolute order. For example, Syracuse used to be the boundary of gang disputes, but since 'Wolf' took action, all gangsters who were unwilling to integrate were completely cleared. Only the authority of a lady remains."

Princess Sophie actually doesn't know much about the inside story of "Wolf". She can only infer based on some clues in the past. After all, this is the top secret of the Syracuse royal family. If she is the kind of princess who can get in touch with the core of power, You will not be married to a foreign country.

It is also true that Princess Sophie is very eager to make up for her desire to control in Letania.

"So the reason why the 'Wolf' serves the royal family of Syracuse is only because the royal family represents the order of Syracuse, and those who try to interfere with all this are naturally the enemies of the 'Wolf'."

"That's none of my business! Just by marrying you, my dear Dorot, shouldn't she be the object of goodwill of the Syracuse royal family? And I have never tried to interfere in Syracuse's internal affairs." , if I insist on involving gangs, I have only traded with Ms. Sicily."

It took Princess Sophie a lot of effort to stabilize the Grand Duke's emotions like appeasing an older child. Such a skill of controlling her husband also fully reflects her ubiquitous desire to control.

In fact, the Grand Duke's weak character is also inseparable from her, because when they got married, the Grand Duke was not a big sheep with such a majestic appearance, but a soft baa who was eager to be pushed out by the family to marry before he was an adult. baa lamb.

As for what it looks like, I wonder if you have seen the youngest of the Yang family in the book "The Big Bad Wolf and the Seven Little Lambs" by the Turtle Fish School.

That's right, it's not just that wolves fall in love with sheep, but you can also add a tag of driving a big car.

In this way, the lamb Baa Baa was brought up by the Wolf Princess to its current appearance, which is almost the same as Iskandar’s appearance evolution history, but the majestic appearance has not changed his dependence on Princess Sophie. It should be said that he used to His status as an abandoned son of the family has risen to his current status, all of which were taken away by Princess Sophie.

But the limit of the growth of seedlings is over. Fortunately, the two sons have inherited more of their mother's wolf nature, and Princess Sophie has now turned to care about her son's growth.

It's not the kind of "concern" in the pink, blue and green app, don't add tags casually!

"No matter how much you advocate order, as an organization, you must have ambitions. It's just a question of when you can accumulate enough power to release it. It's only a matter of time before the 'Wolf' steps up on the stage and declares that it will become Terra's beacon of order. Maybe Leta Nia is their beginning."

Indeed, if the "wolves" want to expand their power from Syracuse, Leitania is indeed their best choice. First of all, it borders Syracuse, and the two factions here also give them a stately establishment. The so-called "great righteousness" of order.

Of course, the most important thing is that Letania's main combat unit is the Crispy Warlock, which is very suitable for a group of Syracuse assassins to get off to a good start. How about changing it to Kasimir, who is full of heavy armored knights? Do you think the "Wolf" organization is so stupid?

"Isn't it good to start with someone else!? Why is it my turn?"

Princess Sophie gave her husband a blank look, why didn't she have a clue about why you had to be operated on? That is of course because Princess Sophie has always been tacitly allowed to act in the name of the Grand Duke. The outside world only knows the role of the Grand Duke, so how can they know the role of the Grand Duke.

"Don't worry, they must have taken you because they want to frighten the whole of Letania, but as long as I use my identity to negotiate peace with them, let the "wolf" realize that our son can help them control order like Miss Sicily, 'Wolf' will definitely be on our side."

"Yes, yes, there is also a son, just Dorothy, don't you just want Joseph to be in charge, Joseph, where is my dear Joseph, quickly call him to see me...see his mother!"
