The Fool of the Gods

"Feel it, the blood is still warm. He just died, and I have been with you all the time. How can I have time to kill him?"

"But he died in the room you arranged. You caused all this!!"

"I..." The man sighed heavily and explained, "Okay, even if I killed him, isn't that good? If he dies, there will be no obstacles between us."

"He can die, but not now! You destroyed everything!"

"What everything? Dilar, are you hiding something from me again? You have changed recently and become much stranger to me. Do you... have your eyes on someone again?"

"No! No!"

The woman's voice was gnashing her teeth, but she did not explain anything about it. Instead, she said anxiously :

"The banquet is about to begin. Once everyone knows that he is dead, we will be finished immediately!"

"Finished? You are the Duchess, the victim. I am the Duke's nephew who has no inheritance rights. I am an ordinary guard. At most, I will be charged with a crime of poor guarding. How can we be finished?"

"... I... was too anxious. He can't just die like this. The bill is not over yet. The citizens of the territory will protest..."

"Dilar, this is the Duke's concern. You are just the Duchess!"

"But he is dead! Dead!"

The Duchess tried to suppress her roar, but it still sounded a little hysterical. It seemed that the Duke's death was a heavy blow to her.

"What if he died? You have the right to inherit all his property. Isn't that enough? Brooks' property is enough for us to squander for several lifetimes."

"No...you don't understand. I can inherit the property, but I can't inherit his title. In this way, Brooks' administrative power will be returned to the royal court..."

"What? You still want to be a duchess?"

"No! I just want those...citizens in the town!"

"Dilar, you have really changed. Why do you care about those mud legs?"

"You don't understand! Listen, you stay here and don't let anyone in. I'll find a way! Make sure that the news of his death doesn't spread out!"

After that, there was a sound of tapping footsteps in the room, and the Duchess walked out anxiously.

Hearing this, Cheng Shi and Bailing looked at each other in the small space and breathed a sigh of relief.

If this "ordinary guard" wants to guard the room, the next step should be to go out and guard outside. In this way, the two of them will have a chance to escape from here first.

But unexpectedly, the next second after the Duchess slammed the door, the man who claimed to be an "ordinary guard" turned his head and looked at the closet with a smile on his face.

"Sorry, you heard a farce, but it doesn't matter, it will be over soon."

He clapped his hands and smiled in appreciation:

"Thank you for killing Brooks. Although I also made arrangements, it is obviously not as clean and neat as yours. I have to say that your concealment ability is also very good, but it's a pity that you ran into me."

"Come out, I can give you a quick death for helping me a little."

Cheng Shi and Bai Ling looked at each other again, and their hearts sank.

Discovered.

"What should I do?" Bai Ling asked silently.

Cheng Shi thought for a moment and lip-read in the same way: "Can you fight?"

Bai Ling shook her head, but when she thought that Cheng Shi was just a pastor, she nodded again and wrote a number on Cheng Shi's leg with her finger.

"1321."

Cheng Shi immediately understood that this was her ladder score.

It was indeed too low.

Those who could still be in this segment half a year after the advent of [Faith Game] were either relying on single-player dungeons to survive, or they had muddled through all the way.

Bailing looked like neither of the two. Cheng Shi really couldn't figure out how she could have such a low score?

Did she fail every time, but survive every time?

This was harder than getting a high score every time!

But after all, she was also a hunter, and her offensiveness was always better than that of a priest.

"Don't panic, kill him!"

Cheng Shi spoke silently again, then gently patted Bailing's shoulder, indicating to her that he was going to push the door.

Bailing was stunned, understood what he meant, and began to count silently in her heart.

"3."

"2."

"1!"

"Bang!"

The two pushed the door open at the same time. Bai Ling summoned his longbow immediately and activated his sensory hunting talent, piercing the other party's sea of ​​desire in an attempt to interfere with the other party's actions.

Cheng Shi rolled on the ground for a few times, and the healing spell in his hand hit the two people in advance, leaving enough healing margin.

However, when they broke through the door, they found thatThe guard who was shouting fiercely was standing at the head of the bed, smiling at them from a distance.

The sensory pursuit seemed to hit a solid wall and was blocked.

"Damn, he has a mental defense skill!"

"Oh? It turned out to be a servant of [Foul]? Very good, your killing method was too clean, leaving no trace. I was still worried about how to bring the disaster to the refugees. This way, it couldn't be better."

Although he was speaking, his expression was very cautious. His eyes kept examining Cheng Shi and the others, and he laughed:

"In order to oppose the Duke's bill, the [Foul] believers among the refugees sneaked into the Duke's mansion to assassinate him on the eve of the bill's announcement. What a reasonable explanation. Now, my suspicion is completely cleared. I really want to thank you."

Cheng Shi's sharp eyes kept looking around and his whole body. Soon he saw a familiar object in the guard's hand.

Ring!

On his hand, he wore a ring exactly the same as the dwarf's!

Cheng Shi didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence. He decisively took out the ring from his arms and held it in front of him.

At this time, it would be more wrong to say more, so it's better not to say anything and let the other party guess.

The guard was stunned when he saw the ring in Cheng Shi's hand, and then he laughed in disbelief:

"What? I just gave the broker 300 gold coins. Didn't he say that he found a group of dwarves to do this? How come the dwarves actually outsourced this job?

Hahahaha, you are so cute. Who are you? How much did the group of dwarves give you?"

Cheng Shi instantly figured out the key. It turned out that the group of dwarves was the one arranged by the opposite side to assassinate the Duke.

It's just that they killed the dwarves and ran into the Duke's death.

Damn, this time it's really hard to explain.

The other party obviously didn't let him go just because they were hired killers.

Cheng Shi looked at the laughing guard and replied with a serious face:

"Thirty gold coins."

"What? Hahahaha, how much did you say?" The guard laughed even more wantonly.

"Twenty is fine."

"?" His smile froze and he frowned, as if he didn't understand.

"Let's break up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi used "Accelerated Metabolism" to cover the opponent's body, and the target of metabolism was the opponent's leg and foot defects.

In this way, the opponent's leg vitality will continue to increase during the rapid metabolism, but it will produce a strange sense of sluggishness because the leg and foot conditions are different from before.

Seize this moment of sluggishness, and there may be a chance.

Bailing obviously understood Cheng Shi's "countdown". As soon as the voice fell, she shot an arrow with the power of [Filth] at the guard.

The cooperation between the two can be said to be very tacit. At the moment when the guard's feet softened, the arrow hit his arm.

The power of the desire to sink began to grab his reason like a tentacle, tearing his emotions.

However, the guard was not panicked, but sneered and said:

"No resistance here!"

"Buzz——"

A holy light quickly spread out from the guard, instantly painting the whole room golden.

The longbow in Bailing's hand immediately fell to the ground uncontrollably, and even the arrows on the guard fell directly to the ground without a sound.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi's pupils shrank and he thought it was not good.

This is the power of [Order]!

The opposite side is actually a Herrscher!

The singer of [Order]!

How can singers be guards these days?

Before Cheng Shi could figure it out, the high-level Herrscher on the opposite side had already opened his voice and sang.

"Judge, the time for execution has come.

The shackles strangled the prisoners' cries, and the anklets broke the arrogance of the sinners.

They will be judged here, welcome the baptism of the holy fire, and bathe in the glory of the benefactor.

Then!

Under the gaze of [Order]...

Turn into ash paste!"

After singing each line of the lyrics, Cheng Shi could clearly feel that his physical condition was rapidly declining.

"Silence", "confinement", "burning", "repentance"...

The four negative states were madly superimposed on his body, and the heavy sense of oppression was like a substance.

After a while, the two were pressed to the ground, unable to breathe.

Bailing's condition was obviously worse than Cheng Shi. It seemed that there was an invisible giant foot on her back, stepping her hard on the floor, and her whole body and face were deformed.

Bright red blood flowed from her seven orifices, and soon her vision began to blur.

She looked at Cheng Shi, who was also miserable. She did not have the fear before death, but just smiled miserably and apologized:

"I'm sorry... Boss... I... am too weak..."But "silence" affected everyone, and her voice could not be squeezed out of her throat.

Cheng Shi only saw Bai Ling open her mouth, and then smiled and closed her eyes.

"Weakness is the original sin, isn't it?"

The guard sneered, drew out his long sword, and slowly walked towards Cheng Shi.
