Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Chapter 198 Successful Assassination (2)

Originally, Viscount Brieuc was on the left and Christine was on the right. The two stood side by side, and their entourages were lined up behind them on both sides.

Mosillo was killed, Viscount Brieux shouted and rushed out, and the people behind him hurriedly followed suit, which meant that these people had to pass by Christine's left.

When a maid was running by, her foot suddenly slipped and fell towards Christine. In the eyes of everyone, this was an accident. Even if the maid fell to the ground, she was still three or four meters away from Christine.

However, the moment the maid's body was about to touch the ground, a sudden change occurred. She suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Christine, holding a dagger in her hand.

Christine's first reaction was to expend two spell slots to instantly cast the fourth-level spell "Any Door" to teleport away, but the spell failed. She dodged sideways without any hesitation, and at the same time the hidden sword on her right arm popped out to block.

Ding!

After a crisp sound, the hidden sword made of magic metal was easily cut off by the dagger, without any hindrance.

But the dodge at that moment still worked. The dagger originally stabbed at the heart was pierced into the shoulder, making a metal collision sound.

The assassin who felt something was wrong did not waste time retracting the dagger, but stabbed upward directly towards Christine's neck.

clang!

This second blow was blocked by Christine with her left arm, while she swung her right fist at the assassin.

Snapped!

The assassin blocked Christine's fist with his left hand, and used the force to jump back, trying to escape.

boom! boom! boom!

Christine continuously activated the magic ring on her hand, and fired three "fireballs" after the assassin.

After the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the assassin. He was not killed but escaped.

boom! Wow!

Savannah, who had just killed the demon in the villa, felt the assassin's attack and broke through the house and rushed out. However, it was still too late for people to escape. The entire assassination happened in a split second, and Liam Knight behind Christine only had time to draw his sword and take a step forward.

As for the others, they didn't react at all.

"Lord Earl, are you okay?" Knight Liam asked anxiously.

"It's okay, the assassin didn't hit." Kristen's face remained normal, as if she was not the one who was attacked just now.

Of course the assassin's dagger hit, but she had always maintained the habit of wearing armor under her robe, so she was unharmed. It's a pity that the assassin couldn't be left behind. The opponent probably used teleportation props to escape just now. It seems that the level is not low.

The church knights and priests who reacted at this moment hurriedly gathered around and inquired about Christine's situation.

The assassin seized the opportunity very cleverly. It happened to be that Savannah entered the villa to kill the demon when he was not with Christine. That is to say, Christian reacts quickly and wears armor. If it were someone else, the opponent would definitely succeed.

As for how the assassin disguised himself as the maid of Viscount Brieux and how he deceived the "detect evil" magic, Christine didn't need to worry about it. The church knights and priests present are all witnesses, and they will definitely find out what happened.

Besides, Viscount Brieux had just rushed to the body of his eldest son and before he had time to cry, something happened to Earl Stewart over there. He was so frightened that he ran back again, but was stopped by the church knights.

"Viscount Brieuc, please tell everyone in the manor to gather in the square in front of the main building. We need to screen again."

Viscount Brieux had no choice but to ask the butler to inform him, and at the same time brought his family to the square under the "protection" of the church knights.

Taking advantage of this time, the priests of the two churches inspected the three demons who had been killed. After their death, the human skin on their bodies no longer fit together seamlessly, and was torn off with a single tug, revealing the true appearance of the demon inside.

After the priest used divine magic to identify it, it was completely confirmed. With the evidence, a series of events such as leading troops to break into Viscount Brieux's manor and Mosillo's death were no longer a problem.

After a careful search, a lot of jewelry and gold coins were found, which should have been obtained by the demon after disguising himself as a human, but the most important "human skin staff" was not found.

The priest gave the order, and the cavalry worked together to demolish the entire villa. The intensity of the search could not be overstated by digging three feet into the ground, but still nothing was found. There was nothing anyone could do.

Besides, after everyone in Brieux Manor gathered in the square, the church knight first asked everyone to check each other, and to confirm that nothing was missed, he asked the priest to cast "Detect Evil" again.

Before, group spells were used, and it was suspected that the assassin had used some method to hide it. Now, each person is using magic spells individually to screen, and there will definitely be no more problems.

Because the number of priests and magical slots are limited, priority can only be given to people from the Viscount Brieux family. After the screening is OK, the old and the weak can return to the main building to rest, while the young and strong will lead the soldiers from the church and Stuart to inspect the entire manor. .

After all, the demon has lived here for several days, and no one can guarantee whether he has left anything with an evil curse or the like. What if the demon's portal opens here next time, which will be troublesome, so it must be check carefully.

Someone has been sent over there to ask the town's priests to come over for support, and here the church knights began to ask everyone about the assassin's situation. However, the result was not ideal. The assassin pretended to be a working maid, but no one who came into contact with her found any problems.

The "Human Skin Staff" can allow demons to disguise themselves as humans, but it is just an appearance, so how can it be flawless?

It wasn't until the people who searched the manor reported that they found the assassin disguised as a maid in a warehouse. However, she was unconscious when she found it, and she woke up after the priest cast a magic spell.

Everyone thought it was strange why the assassin locked her up instead of killing the maid. The risk of exposure was extremely high. No one thinks that the assassin is a soft-hearted person, which makes people even more confused.

According to the maid's account, she suddenly blacked out and passed out while working. When she woke up, she was like this. After checking, it was found that she fainted three days ago, which meant that the assassin had been using this disguised identity for the past three days without anyone noticing.

After hearing this, Viscount Brieux couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, the assassin's target was Earl Stewart. If he hadn't, he would have died countless times.
