Chapter 613 Assassin
By the way, Zhou Ming's main purpose of buying the elf Angelie Tika is just to learn the elvish language?

of course not.

This is just one of the purposes.

He wanted to get more information about the elves from her.

Otherwise, wouldn't his 29 gold coins be too cost-effective?

But to get more information, the premise is to gain her trust.

And elves are generally wary of humans, and even hate them to the extreme. How can they easily trust humans?

Zhou Ming also saw her intention to escape through her sneaky behavior like stepping on the spot every day, but he didn't restrict and suppress her.

Instead, it gave her more freedom.

Even buy her weapons.

She said "you can leave whenever you want" which surprised her.

The purpose of these actions, of course, is to hope that she will stay.

Hope she stays around for a while.

At least give him enough "information" before leaving.

In other words, if Zhou Ming's strategy fails, the opponent will run away as soon as his strength recovers?
That Zhou Ming could only express that he had confessed, and he had reminded that in the human world, once her identity was revealed, she would be hunted endlessly. If she was confident that she had the ability to escape from birth and return to the elf forest, Ming will not stop him.

I can only admit that I have suffered a bit.

After all, there are different probabilities for anything to happen. Zhou Ming is not [-]% sure that he will definitely keep her.

In addition, it didn't take long after preparing the weapon for Angel Tika, and it came in handy on this night.

Zhou Ming was also fortunate to witness the amazing archery skills of elves.

Arrows never go unnoticed.

crack shot.

Of the 20 assassins, 15 died under her arrows.

She mows down her opponents like a deadly night hunter.

You must know that the hearing of elves is much better than that of humans, and their eyesight is much stronger than humans in the dim moonlight.

Coupled with precise archery.

Every assassin screamed and covered his eyes, or fell down while choking his neck.

"Don't kill them all, leave them alive, I'll ask who is behind the scenes."

At the last moment, Zhou Ming stopped Tika and told her not to kill everyone.

Tika aimed at the legs of the assassins, and shot and disabled two of them.

The other three assassins were killed by Gazef who was on guard on the first floor. It took him a lot of work, and there were several paints on his body.

And among these assassins, the strongest is just an intermediate swordsman,

So Gazef was very dissatisfied with his performance.

"It's not bad, Gazef, you just happen to be not long ago, and there is still room for improvement."

When passing by the first floor, Zhou Ming comforted him.

In the front yard.

The two living assassins were caught together and knelt side by side in front of Zhou Ming.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me!"

"Master, I'm just passing by, I'm just passing by!"

Looking at the two assassins kowtowing like garlic, Zhou Ming roughly guessed who sent this group of people.

And he wasn't too surprised that the assassin came to assassinate him.

Because in his many dungeon experiences, as long as he is a little bit famous, the assassins sent by various forces will come sooner or later.

The assassination he encountered can be said to be countless.

He certainly wasn't unprepared.

For example, he set up hundreds of warning traps in the yard and attack traps in the house.

He also raised two vigilant black dogs.

So as soon as this group of unprofessional assassins entered the yard, they made all kinds of noises.

They simply gave up stealth and rushed over with shouts. After killing the two black dogs, they started smashing doors and windows frantically.

At this time, Elf Tika's bow and arrow also began to name places one by one.

It took a total of 5 minutes for the last two survivors to kneel in front of Zhou Ming.

"Did Prince Luther send you here?"

Zhou Ming asked, Prince Luther is probably the only one who wants to kill him the most at this stage.

"Yes, yes, His Highness gave us 5000 gold coins and asked us to help the Purgatory Gang to do this..."

"Yes, yes, it was Prince Luther who sent us to do this, and we were all instructed..."

The two assassins scrambled to confess, and confessed everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

Zhou Ming snorted coldly. It took half a month to find out where he lived. He spent more money than even a high-level assassin could afford, and called a bunch of gangsters to come here to take his life. ...This kind of stupid thing, of course, only that idiot can do it.

"￥%￥%..."

A mantra was chanted from his mouth.

A ball of fire appeared on Zhou Ming's left and right hands.

The two assassins kneeling on the ground seemed to realize something, they yelled, turned around and fled outside.

But they were hit by arrows in their legs, and they couldn't run fast at all. They only ran two meters before they were overtaken by two balls of fire.

"what!"

"what!!"

Amid the two shrill screams and the raging flames, they quickly turned into two balls of ashes.

"Sir, we're being targeted by some big shots. Maybe we should consider moving."

Gazef came over and said, offering his suggestion.

Zhou Ming shook his head and asked the female elf beside him, "Tika, do you think we need to move?"

"I don't care, it's just some miscellaneous fish, it doesn't matter how many come."

The female elf crossed her arms.

However, looking at the shivering rabbit maid who hugged each other, and Henry, whose eyes were full of horror after seeing the corpses all over the floor, Zhou Ming said helplessly: "This apartment is too small, it seems that we need to find a bigger place." .”

It is best to change to a castle with a higher wall.

Of course, he wasn't afraid, but Zhou Ming expected that in the not-too-distant future, there would be more and more killers, assassins and kidnappers sent by various forces. The defense of this apartment is insufficient. It is also impossible to be at home every day.

For the safety of those around you, it's better to be safe.

So what about Prince Luther?
This idiot dared to send someone to assassinate him, how should Zhou Ming respond?

How to get revenge?
Should this idiot be killed?

shook his head.

If he wanted to kill him, Zhou Ming could think of more than 10 ways to end his life.

However, he is the crown prince, the first heir to the kingdom, and the queen's doting son. If he does this, he may strain his relationship with the royal family.

lead to many adverse consequences.

Zhou Ming still kept the account temporarily, and then found the old fox Roberts, and reported this matter to him.

in the principal's office.

After hearing what Zhou Ming said, the old fox's face was livid and his whole body trembled.

"Bang~"

He hammered the table hard, and said angrily, "This bastard, I asked James to abolish his inheritance rights, but he just won't abolish him!"

"If the kingdom is handed over to him, the kingdom will definitely end!"

Zhou Ming tapped his ears with his hands and asked:
"In half a year, the pharmacy factory will be built. By then, the output of pharmacy will reach more than [-] bottles per day, which is enough to meet the needs of dozens of kingdoms. It can earn hundreds of millions of gold coins every year. The royal family of Yadude will become a nearby Among dozens of kingdoms, the richest royal family."

"This is all thanks to you and His Majesty the King."

"But I would like to ask, if His Majesty the King leaves and Luther becomes king, what will he take for all your hard work?"

"I'm afraid he will spend even more crazily?"

"As for me, he doesn't need to send killers here anymore. The Knights of the Kingdom will obey his orders and come to take my life."

"In order to survive, I can only flee to a foreign country."

Zhou Ming spread his hands.

"Bang~!"

The old fox thumped the table again.

"That's enough, stop talking, James and I will find a way to solve this problem."

The old fox went to the palace.

Had a discussion with King Jaime.

King James was naturally furious, smashed several things angrily, and said in his mouth: "Nizi, this naughty boy!"

"If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have given birth to him in the first place!"

The old fox said: "Let's abolish him quickly. If we hand over the kingdom to him, no matter how well we do, it will be useless!"

King James was even more excited: "Do you think I don't want to abolish him? I have long wanted to abolish him!"

"But...but... hey!"

He sighed helplessly, the resistance to abolishing that Nizi was too great!
Ministers disagree.

The nobles disagree.

The queen also disagreed.

Even though everyone knew he was an idiot, no one offered to abolish him.

He even thinks that the more idiot he is, the better. Will those people still have a good life when they meet a shrewd king?
If the prince is shrewd and capable, they will think it is a threat, and they will either send assassins to assassinate him, or spread rumors to slander him, and ask the king to depose him.

Like King James himself, when he was still a prince, he only showed a little bit of talent and was assassinated twice. Later, he sat on the throne smoothly by pretending to be mediocre... The current Yadude Kingdom wants to be a Good king, it is difficult!
It is those incompetent and foolish emperors who are generally welcomed by those people.

It can be seen from this that the kingdom of Yadude is indeed approaching the point of no cure.

Of course, this also has factors in the "Law of Inheritance". No matter how stupid and mediocre it is, the eldest son has an indisputable inheritance right, and no nobleman can change it.

Unless the eldest son committed an unforgivable mistake or died unfortunately, the inheritance rights would not fall to other heirs.

In recent years, King James feels that his body is getting worse and worse.

The inferiority of the heir made him sleepless at night and worried too much.

Even had horrible thoughts many times.

but……

He was really helpless.

For example, in the assassination incident that happened to Leylin this time, he just called Prince Luther over, cursed him, and then gave him a three-month ban.

But with the Queen's character of doting on her son, he will be released within a month at most.

……

Zhou Ming on the other side.

Through some channels, he bought a castle for 5 gold coins from a down-and-out gambler viscount.

The castle is about 5 kilometers away from the royal capital. It is located on a low hill in the north of the city. The building covers an area of ​​about 2 acres, and the city wall is 28 meters high. Including the basement, there are 55 rooms on six floors, enough for hundreds of people to live in.

In addition, the castle also comes with a territory of about one hundred acres, where you can plant some flowers and plants, or open two vegetable fields, in short, you can use it as you like.

As for the name of this castle, Zhou Ming thought about it and chose the name "Pharmaceutical Bottle Castle".

Because the shape of this castle is really a bit like an upright medicine bottle.

He is also a pharmacist.

Pill Bottle Castle, so apt.

It took another day to move, and on March 3, Zhou Ming and the others moved into the castle.
