Devil’s Son-in-Law - Chapter 639
[Chapter 638 Morning Light Extinct]
“You mean…we were targeted by the Brotherhood of Daggers?” Fatty swallowed hard, “You can’t be mistaken?”
Lucio crouched down and tore the sleeves of the corpse, only to see a The tattoo of one or two daggers is gradually fading, and soon, the corpse is on fire under a strange force, gradually turning into ashes, not even bones are left.
“Yes, it should be a member of the Brotherhood of Daggers.” Lucio looked a little dignified, and gave Chen Rui a hint.
The Brotherhood of Daggers, a well-known assassination organization with influence in several countries, it is said that as long as they can afford the price, even a king can become their target.
The killer of the Dagger Brotherhood is not only powerful, but also ruthless. Even if they are captured, they will not leave any survivors, just like this self-burning corpse.
After the mission fails, they will send killers again to retaliate. However, if they fail three times in a row, the mission will be regarded as giving up automatically if the cost exceeds the expected cost, and generally they will not shoot at the target again.
This is a tradition prevented by the dark forces of mankind. Although I don’t remember what era it was left over, even the largest assassin and thief organization “Stalker Guild” today strictly follows this tradition, let alone the Dagger Brotherhood. .
After confirming that the enemy was the Dagger Brotherhood and not the Holy Feather Mercenary Corps, the fat man immediately persuaded, replaced by a strong fear: “Who is it! He hired the Dagger Brotherhood to deal with us at a huge price! No! We want Immediately return to Gudan Town…”
Fatty said half a sentence, and suddenly remembered that since the other party is the Dagger Brotherhood, even if he goes back, he still cannot escape the poisonous hand.
The church in Garden City is of a higher rank than Gudan Town, and there are Knights of Light stationed there. It is a way to go there, and he immediately changed his words: “Head Ina. Please protect us to go to Garden City, I will pay double… …No, ten times the pay! I will also be fully responsible for the losses you have suffered, including the pensions of the two dead brothers.”
According to the rules, the employer generally only needs to pay the commission according to the employment agreement, and the loss or casualty of the mercenary in the mission is ignored.
Although fat people love money, they are not stupid.
If even a small life is gone.
No amount of money is needed.
If the mercenary gave up the mission in the middle, in addition to getting no commission, he would also need to pay liquidated damages, and his prestige would be greatly reduced, but if Ina really gave up the mission, then Iron Shield would only lose money and prestige.
Fat people lose their lives.
Fatty has been sitting firmly in the position of the head of the Gudan Town Church for many years. Naturally, he has some means. He is well aware of the truth that “there must be a brave man under the heavy reward”.
Therefore, he immediately put forward the issue of doubling the salary and being responsible for compensation.
Ina pondered for a while, looked at the mercenaries, and said, “Don’t worry, Pastor. Our Iron Shield mercenary group has the most credibility. Since we have taken this mission, we will definitely do our best to complete it.
” Great! As expected of the Iron Shield Mercenary Corps!” Fatty breathed a sigh of relief: “I’ll keep my word,
and I will pay ten times the salary and compensation immediately after arriving at Garton City.”
Ina nodded.
Start to rearrange the defense, order the mercenaries to retrieve their mounts, and arrange for the wounded to rest.
When passing by Chen Rui, the female team leader gave him a deep look and said, “Assassins of the Dagger Brotherhood are generally impossible to be captured alive, I don’t know how you captured this assassin. But I can be sure. Yes, no matter whether the original assassin’s target is you or not, you will become one of the key ‘care’ objects of the Dagger Brotherhood in the next part of the journey.”
“Oh, I just experienced a fierce battle and need to return The tent has been resting for a while.” Chen Rui shrugged nonchalantly, as if he didn’t understand the current bad situation, turned and walked towards the tent, and Lucio, who was beside him, quickly followed.
Looking at Chen Rui’s back, Yina snorted coldly, and asked the bearded man lying on the ground, “Silva, how are you?”
“I can’t die.” Having said that, that special antidote is really amazing, the poison that even the dispelling technique can’t remove has been swept away, and the rest is just a little bit of flesh wounds, so it won’t get in the way.”
Although Beard said it lightly, Ina could see that this was definitely not just a “slight” flesh wound. Fortunately, the poison was relieved, and there was no fear of life. It only took a few days of rest to recover, but the combat effectiveness in the short term was definitely will be greatly discounted.
“This Richard is really not easy,” Ina said with a thoughtful look, “I’m afraid his strength is still higher than we expected, maybe he can really escape the three assassinations of the Dagger Brotherhood.
” It’s not as good as… By the way, head of the regiment, is it because of the deputy head that you promised that fat man to continue the protection mission this time…”
Yina looked around and said in a low voice, “Before we left Gudan Town, I happened to receive a magical message from him from Rice Town, saying that the mission of Stam City has been completed and he is on his way back. I left a message for him at the hotel, and he should come over when he returns to Gudan Town. It will only take two or three days to meet with us.”
The bearded man was surprised: “Great! If he can come over, even the Dagger Brotherhood will not be afraid!”
Ina’s voice was even more Low: “Originally, he didn’t come to the rendezvous on purpose this time, but to go to a place through Garton City, which happened to be on the way with our mission. This matter is related to his private secret, so I don’t want to ask too much, and I didn’t tell it. Everyone. Since the enemy is the Brotherhood of Daggers now, the deputy head can’t disclose this matter, so as not to attract the attention of the Brotherhood of Daggers, as long as the three attacks of the Brotherhood of Daggers can be blocked, this level is over.”
“Understood.” Bearded nodded and lay down again.
The night passed without another attack.
The team continued on the road the next day. Some mercenary mounts were not recovered, so they only rode together. The speed of everyone was not very fast.
Be careful along the way, two days have passed, and nothing unusual has happened.
Most of the members of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group recovered well from their injuries, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance.
Now that the ground world is autumn, the sun is not dazzling, but it is easy to be tired. In the bumpy carriage, the fat man’s eyelids began to bump, and he couldn’t help taking a nap.
Before the priest slept for long, he was awakened by the violent vibrations and screams. Fatty’s slack nerves immediately tightened. He opened the curtain and saw that on the side of the mountain, a piece of boulders the size of a grinding disc rolled down. At this time, the mounts seemed to be frightened by some kind of special power and ran around uncontrollably.
In desperation, the mercenaries had to abandon their horses, and several mounts that did not know whether to live or die rushed towards the range of the boulder, and were immediately smashed into flesh.
“The road behind has been blocked, hurry up! Master Priest! Get off the horse! Let’s run into the woods over there!
” Their protection quickly fled towards the woods on the side, panicking, and did not notice that “Richard” was gone again.
Everyone finally avoided the boulder and fled into the woods, and the sun in the sky suddenly dimmed.
It’s not that there are dark clouds, but that this forest is shrouded by a special power, and even the sun is covered with a haze.
Everyone only heard the shrill mourning sound in their ears, and there seemed to be countless hands dragging in the woods constantly, and the speed was involuntarily full. The feeling of freezing to the bone, the layers of mist in the woods seem to have transformed into ghosts of life-threatening ghosts, floating around, both will and strength have been weakened to a low point in this terrifying environment.
“This is the breath of darkness! Damn assassins, how dare they use such power to blaspheme the light!” After all, the fat man was a priest, endured the fear in his heart, raised his long staff tremblingly, and recited with the two monks He recited the mantra, “Dispel! The humble darkness!”
A mass of white light appeared, floated in the air, and spread out. Those mists turned into light smoke and dissipated under the illumination of the white light. At the same time, the strangeness of everyone It seems to have weakened a bit.
At this time, the gloomy wind was blowing, and the white light was quickly swallowed by the haze that filled the entire forest. Fatty used it several times in a row, but the effect was very small. Instead, his mental strength was too much, his footing was unstable, and he fell down. on the ground.
The other two cultivators were weaker than Fatty, and would soon be unable to use the dispelling technique.
The light in the woods is getting darker and darker, the mercenaries seem to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to use force, even the magician’s magic can’t work, all kinds of negative emotions follow one after another, fear, weakness, slowness…
Chen Rui Some curiously looked at the two black-robed men in the woods who joined forces to exert dark power—there are also dark magicians in the ground world?
With his eyesight, he can see that the strength of these two men is the first stage of the Great Demon King. There is a special magic circle in this forest, which can increase the power of darkness. The purpose of the rolling stone just now should be to make everyone. Forced into the woods, it was a good catch.

“Humph! Didn’t you say there was an enemy who might be at the division level? He even killed Tucker, why are they all weak ants!” a man said disdainfully.
“Tucker is just an incompetent person, but those intelligence officers should be damned! It’s a shame that this kind of guy has to alarm us so much!”
“Since he’s here, let’s slowly torture these ants to death!”
Just as Chen Rui was about to deal with the two men, he suddenly moved his eyes and turned his head to look in another direction. He could feel that there was a man rushing towards him, and his strength seemed… not weak.
mate?
Chen Rui’s mind moved slightly, and his hand was put down again. Anyway, Fatty and the others were not in danger at this time. When the man’s accomplices arrived, they just happened to solve it together.
The speed of the people who came was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in the magic circle of the woods. The two men in black robes had just reacted. They were all startled, and they heard a firm man’s voice resounding through the woods: “Chenguang Extinction!”
To Chen Rui’s surprise, the voice sounded somewhat familiar!
