"Your Majesty, two mid-level wizards have been recruited!" Abel, sitting in the meeting hall of the former Dukedom of Keen's palace and now his palace, said the intelligence officer who came to report.
It only took one night for the mouths of the two mid-level wizards to be pried open. They and the other two archers were members of the Assassin's Guild, the largest assassin organization in the Holy Continent.
Whether they are knights, warriors or wizards, some of them will always need financial or resource support for various reasons, especially wizards. They cannot participate in the secular world openly. Although they have offerings from various countries, their income is not enough. Maintain training and buy better supplies.
It would be better if it is a wizard with inheritance. The ability of at least inheritance can bring more training resources to him, just like the intermediate wizard Morton is good at making rune cards, which allows him to not only earn a lot of wealth For his own cultivation, it can also help his disciples.
Wizards without inheritance are not so lucky. The magic circle required to practice requires magic stones, and the magic tower also needs wealth to enrich it. If you want to make faster progress in meditation, you need the support of potions. All these costs are without other skills. Next, the wizard's combat power becomes a means of exchange.
This is the case for these two mid-level wizards. They became members of the Assassin's Guild, and during their long assassination careers, they have improved their combat power to a level far beyond that of ordinary wizards.
"I don't seem to have offended the Assassin's Guild. Why did they attack me?" Abel asked in a deep voice.
Under normal circumstances, the Assassin's Guild cannot target persons with distinguished status. This is the guarantee for the Assassin's Guild to survive in the Holy Continent.
With Abel's status, the Assassin's Guild would not be able to place orders, and there would be no Assassin's Guild members to take orders.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Continent is currently in chaos due to food shortages and reduced crop yields. The Intelligence Department has investigated the Assassin's Guild through other channels. They have recently listed some distinguished persons as targets for assassination, in order to survive in this troubled world. Among them, gain greater say!" The intelligence officer bowed and explained.
"Do you know who ordered this assassination?" Abel asked again.
"The two intermediate wizards don't know. I'm afraid they have to ask the Assassin's Guild for this. But in history, the Assassin's Guild has never revealed the information of the person who placed the order. However, the order amount this time is as high as 20 million gold coins and 2,000 gold coins. An intermediate magic stone, such a big deal is definitely not something ordinary people can come up with!" The intelligence officer told the news.
"When was the order placed?" Abel asked in a deep voice.
"According to two intermediate wizards, the order has been placed for more than a year, but since you have never left the palace and Harry Castle of the Principality of Camai, the Assassin's Guild has no chance to take action. This time you come to Bili City to let They have a chance!" the intelligence officer replied.
When Abel was assassinated, he thought it was the revenge of the five principalities against him, but he did not expect that the order for the assassination had been placed for more than a year, so it would not be related to the five defeated principalities.
Because of such a large amount of money, not even one of the five principalities can produce so much wealth.
"Why has the Assassin's Guild been waiting for my order for more than a year, but your Intelligence Department has never discovered and reported it?" Abel asked with a cold light in his eyes.
Abel has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the intelligence department of the Principality of Kamai, but its performance in recent times has been unsatisfactory. The five principalities have allied themselves and attacked Neijin City, but the intelligence department has not responded at all.
For this assassination operation, the Intelligence Department also did not receive any information in advance. This kind of Intelligence Department made him very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, it is our dereliction of duty. Although we have people in the Assassin's Guild who have been keeping an eye on it, the intelligence officers who broke into it were not of high enough level to find out some high-level tasks!" the intelligence officer lowered his head and bowed.
Abel's expression slowed down a bit. The establishment of an intelligence network did not just rely on investing money, it also required a lot of time.
The current intelligence office is based on the former Kamai Principality Intelligence Office. However, the former Kamai Principality's national strength was weak, and the intelligence network has never really developed. It was not until Abel began to increase investment that it reached its current scale.
But the intelligence networks of powerful principalities and empires have grown slowly over hundreds or even thousands of years, and have penetrated into every corner of the Holy Continent. The intelligence network of the Kamai Principality wants to reach that point. , it still needs too much time for it to grow.
"Butler, contact the Assassin's Guild and ask them to give me the order information immediately!" Abel turned to the steward Burbage and ordered.
"The Intelligence Department immediately started investigating the Assassin's Guild. I need to know every stronghold of the Assassin's Guild in the entire human world. I want to know the identities of all their members who have been exposed!" Abel said solemnly, looking at the intelligence officer.
"Your Majesty, you will definitely live up to your mission this time!" After hearing Abel's order, the intelligence officer bowed and responded loudly.
The intelligence officer had just heard the dissatisfaction with the Intelligence Department in Abel's tone. The Intelligence Department spent a huge amount of money every month, but failed to meet Abel's requirements. This made the intelligence officer a little ashamed, so when Abel again When he was given the task, he had a fire in his heart, and he must find out all the information about the Assassin's Guild.
After taking over the Principality of Keen, Abel did not leave the palace in Bili City, because just three days later, Duke Kenneth's awarding ceremony would be held here, and many guests would be present.
Duke Kenneth chose a city that was rich but had little political status as his territory, and did not choose Bili City, the former richest political center of the Principality of Keen. From this point of view, he has chosen to withdraw from politics. Stage, concentrate on being a rich noble.
In the palace of Bili City, a teleportation array has been built, and more orders for teleportation arrays are already on the list of the Liante City Wizards Guild, waiting for construction step by step.
Abel's goal is simple, that is, every city will have a teleportation array controlled by the principality. These teleportation arrays have the function of rapid transmission of information and rapid movement of important personnel.
Just like when Neijin City was attacked, important personnel could be evacuated as quickly as possible, and the news of the attack would be sent back to the Intelligence Department as soon as possible. This allowed Abel to calmly send out troops and defeat the five principalities' coalition forces. Before heading to the second city.
This is the role of the teleportation circle, which is also a supplement to the weak intelligence department.
Abel doesn't have many powerful knights in his hands now. Once all his 'Dragon Blood Wall-Breaking Potion' is used, then a total of fifty great knight captains will exist in the Principality of Camai, no matter where the opponent attacks any city from. , a team composed of fifty great knight captains can immediately go through the teleportation circle. By then, the Principality of Camai will truly become powerful.
Currently, the Principality of Kamai is still relying on the dwarven Sky Boat. Since this new type of weapon has just appeared, various principalities and empires have not yet developed methods to deal with it. Once time passes, there will be single doors. War weapons developed for it appeared.
The next day, Abel was receiving a meeting with a noble family from the former Principality of Keen, when he saw Butler Burbage walking into the living room with a gloomy expression.
Abel waved his hand to ask several nobles to retreat, and then looked at Butler Burbage.
"Your Majesty, news has arrived from the Assassin's Guild. They refuse to provide any information about the person who placed the order, and have requested the return of their two intermediate wizards from the Principality of Camai. On this basis, they will suspend the execution of this assassination order! "Butler Burbage bowed and said.
"Very good, the Assassin's Guild successfully angered me!" Abel said in a deep voice.
The Assassin's Guild is a powerful organization in the Holy Continent. It can be said that among the earliest organizations in human history, there is the Assassin's Guild. This is an organization spread throughout the Holy Continent.
The members are not only humans, but also dwarves, elves, and even orcs. This is an organization that can solve problems for customers as long as they give money.
Before chaos broke out in the Holy Continent, the Assassin's Guild had been hidden and very low-key. But now that there are just signs of chaos, the Assassin's Guild has jumped out and is ready to show its influence.
It is precisely for this reason that the Assassin's Guild needs a major move to show its existence, so Abel, who has a huge reputation but relies on external things for his strength, has become one of their important targets.
At the same time, an order was delivered to the Assassin's Guild. The bid of 20 million gold coins and 2,000 intermediate magic stones impressed the leaders of the Assassin's Guild.
Abel knew what happened next, the assassination happened, but if the Assassin Guild knew that Abel was a Grand Knight Commander, then they would never accept such a mission.
Because although the attack power of the Grand Knight Commander is not as good as that of the Wizard, his own psychic ability allows the Grand Knight Commander to be unafraid of any assassination.
To kill the Grand Knight Commander, only absolute strength can do it.
"Call the intelligence officer over, I need to know the status of the current investigation!" Abel said to Butler Burbage.
Soon the intelligence officer arrived in a hurry, holding a stack of parchment in his hand, his face covered with sweat, and his eyes bloodshot.
It could be seen that the intelligence officer didn't sleep all night yesterday. Even so, he was still very excited.
"Your Majesty, the Intelligence Department has compiled all the past information about the Assassin's Guild and compiled a description of the distribution of the Assassin's Guild. The Intelligence Department is also in contact with the intelligence offices of the principalities to purchase relevant information from them. This requires It will take a few more days to get the results!" The intelligence officer handed the stack of parchment to Abel and bowed.
Abel took the parchment, which recorded the distribution of the Assassin's Guild in the Holy Continent. In the human world, there are basically Assassin's Guilds in every principality and every city. They exist just like ordinary guilds.
"Order, arrest all members of the Assassin's Guild in the Principality of Camai, and kill them if they resist!" Abel was very angry when he saw that the Assassin's Guild also existed in the Principality of Camai, and he ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Steward Burbage on the side took out a piece of parchment and wrote quickly on it, then handed it to Abel's hand.
Abel glanced up and down, then took out a seal from the space bracelet and stamped it.
The parchment was taken out by Butler Burbage, and the knights would go to execute it.
Abel then looked at the information about the Assassin's Guild in his hand. Although the Assassin's Guild has been hiding itself, its important principals have not hidden themselves.
Kilmer Senior Wizard is the elder of the Assassin's Guild, but he rarely interferes in the affairs of the Assassin's Guild. He mainly collects tributes from the Assassin's Guild.
He is a seventeenth-level senior wizard, almost the top existence in the Holy Continent. The Assassin's Guild exists precisely because of his existence.
The Assassin's Guild is usually headed by Grand Knight Acton and Intermediate Wizard Elliot. The headquarters has always been a mystery. Assassins who have gone to the headquarters only know that they passed through the teleportation circle and left from there. They don't know. real location.
"You are really careful enough to buy information about the Assassin's Guild headquarters from all over the continent, no matter how many gold coins you spend, it doesn't matter!" Abel said in a deep voice.
Then he gently tapped his fingers on the parchment that recorded the Assassin Guild's information, and then continued: "Help me spread the news. I, Master Abel Blacksmith, officially announced that no matter who kills Grand Knight Acton and Eliot, Special intermediate wizards, bring their heads, and I can customize a set of magic equipment for them. Whoever provides the location of Kilmer's senior wizard, I can customize a staff for them. Of course, the materials will be provided by the information provider. !”
The Grand Knight Acton and the mid-level wizard Elliot can buy his life, but the senior wizard Kilmer can only take the life of Abel himself. Unless an eighteenth-level wizard takes action, basically no one else in the Holy Continent can threaten the base. The life of the senior wizard Ermer.
"Yes, His Majesty the King!" The intelligence officer's eyes lit up, and Abel's words made his blood boil. When had the Principality of Camai been so domineering, directly treating the Grand Knight Commander and the Intermediate Wizard as nothing and threatening them? Senior wizard.
…
In the Put Valley of the Kingdom of St. Alva, this is a special valley. All the original external connecting channels are blocked, and there are only a few secret passages in and out. Most of the time, except for a few people, the rest of the people come in and out. Teleport in and out of the magic circle.
The main use of the teleportation circle here every day is to send out countless various tasks. There is a spirit with a high level of intelligence. This spirit called the Thorn Spirit controls the issuance and completion of all tasks in the entire Holy Continent. Data management.
This is the headquarters of the Assassin's Guild, where human lives are harvested every day, and every life will bring considerable profits to the Assassin's Guild.
In a meeting hall of the Assassin's Guild, the head of the guild, Grand Knight Commander Acton, and the intermediate wizard Elliot were discussing the current situation.
"Our time has come!" Lord Knight Acton took a sip of the red wine in front of him and said with an excited smile on his face.
Ever since the crisis of crop reduction appeared, he knew that the golden age of the Assassin's Guild was coming. The more peaceful the period, the harder it was for the Assassin's Guild to do business because it was restricted by various forces.
The emergence of the crisis has left all countries too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no time or energy to pay attention to the Assassin's Guild. Even if the Assassin's Guild does something excessive, it will not cause too much trouble.
This is also the reason why they dare to accept orders to assassinate some big nobles and distinguished people. The coming of troubled times is the time when their value can be best reflected.
"The assassination of Abel failed. I didn't expect that he was already an intermediate wizard, and his true strength would be so powerful. The two intermediate wizards were unable to fight back in his hands, but he still used the lightning mechanism. Next time there is an opportunity for assassination, you have to wait until he leaves the range of the sky boat before proceeding!" Elliot, the intermediate wizard, also held the red wine and said in a deep voice.
"The Principality of Kamai actually asked us to name the person who placed the order. They are so naive. Then Abel really thought that he could dominate the world just because he was a master blacksmith!" Lord Knight Acton said with a sneer.
"But you have to be careful. Although I don't know what method he used, four senior wizards died in his hands, and there were six senior orc priests. His record is too terrible!" Elliot, an intermediate wizard There was a hint of hesitation in his voice. In fact, when Kamai came to ask for the name of the person who placed the order, he was determined to hand over the person.
But the reputation of the Assassin's Guild prevented him from doing this. Once he did, the credibility of the Assassin's Guild for countless years would be ruined, and no one would place orders for them.
"What are you afraid of? We are in the dark. People from the Principality of Kamai dare to deal with our Assassin's Guild. Abel dares to deal with our Assassin's Guild. We control all the assassins in the entire Holy Continent. If we make us anxious, the Principality of Kamai will There is no peaceful day!" Chief Acton said disdainfully.
For a long time, no one has dared to truly be an enemy of the Assassin's Guild, because no one wants to become the unrelenting target of the Assassin's Guild.
"Report!" A staff member shouted quickly at the door.
"Come in!" Lord Acton, who was interrupted, said somewhat unhappily.
The staff walked in, bowed and saluted the two, and then said: "The news just came from the Principality of Kamai. All our mission points in the Principality of Kamai have been raided. A large number of people have been arrested, but only a small number of people have been arrested. Got the news, but it’s only a matter of time before they’re caught, they can’t leave Kamai Principality!”
"How dare the Principality of Kamai!" The red wine glass in the hand of Lord Knight Acton hit the ground hard, and the crystal wine glass immediately shattered into pieces.
"Abel is too young and doesn't know how powerful our Assassin's Guild is. We want him to know the anger of the Assassin's Guild!" Elliot, the intermediate wizard on the side, was also extremely surprised. He did not expect Abel to do this, and he said angrily.
"Send the assassin again. Abel is still in Bili City. It is a city that the Kamai Principality has just accepted. Kamai Principality's control is not strong. This is an opportunity. Issue a killing order for the assassin. If there is an assassin who can kill Abel , then he can get all the rewards, and the Assassin's Guild will also pay him another reward, and at the same time upgrade the guild level by one!" Knight Acton said with a heavy hand on the table.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the intermediate wizard Elliot. He needed the permission of the intermediate wizard Elliot before he could issue the assassin's killing order.
The Assassin's Killing Order has always been the most terrifying order in the Assassin's Guild. When the Assassin's Killing Order is issued, it will be the result of a fight to the death with the opponent. In history, every time the Assassin's Guild issued the Assassin's Killing Order, a big shot fell to the assassin. Under the killing order.
It is precisely this that gives the Assassin's Killing Order its prestigious reputation. This is the God of Death's token. Once issued, the opponent will die.
"Agree, the Assassin's Guild must react!" Elliot, the intermediate wizard, nodded. Abel's move suddenly forced the Assassin's Guild onto the path of the mortal enemy, blocking all avenues for negotiation.
"Report!" Just as the staff was about to go down and issue the assassin's killing order, another staff member shouted at the door.
"You go ahead and let the person at the door come in!" Elliot, an intermediate wizard, waved his hand and said.
The first staff member left, and another staff member walked in with a look of panic on his expression.
"Two adults, the Principality of Kamai has announced that Grandmaster Abel will buy the heads of the two adults in exchange for building a full set of magic equipment!" the staff member bowed and said.
"What?" Elliot, an intermediate wizard who had always looked graceful, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
What are the conditions for Grandmaster Abel to create a full set of magic equipment? First of all, how valuable is the magic equipment created by Grandmaster Abel? Needless to say, because in the entire Holy Continent, there is a full set of magic equipment created by Abel, except Except for the three hundred knights of Kamai Principality, few people have it.
And there is news from Miracle City that Abel has mastered a new forging method that can create a magic knight sword that allows the Grand Knight Commander to continue to exert his strength. Countless Grand Knight Commanders dream of getting a Grandmaster Abel A knight's greatsword forged.
But in fact, after Abel became the king of the Kamai Principality, he never made equipment for anyone else. All his energy was spent on the construction of the Knights of the Kamai Principality.
Of course, this is the view of the world, because in other people's eyes, it has only been more than two years since Abel became the king of the Kamai Principality, and the time it took to create three hundred sets of magic equipment took up most of the time.
No one knew that Abel would use the time difference between the dark world and the real world to create magic equipment, and the number of magic equipment he created was far from the mere three hundred sets of equipment.
The reason why the intermediate wizard Elliot was frightened was because with such a heavy reward, all the knights in the Holy Continent would target him and the Arch Knight of Acton.
The most terrifying thing is that they are an Assassin's Guild, but the Assassin's Guild is a loose organization. The Assassin's Guild is more like a platform on which many assassins receive and release tasks.
Assassins themselves are people who put their interests first. Faced with Abel's temptation, who can guarantee whether these assassins will take advantage of the opportunity to get close to him to give him a try.
Grand Knight Acton also thought of this. He looked at the staff in front of him and raised his vindictiveness carefully, because he always had the illusion that the staff in front of him would do it for Abel's reward. Hit him in the head.
"Two adults, Grandmaster Abel also proposed that whoever provides him with the position of senior wizard Kilmer, he will make a staff for him!" The staff looked at the fierce eyes of Lord Acton and swallowed. After spitting, he had to continue speaking.
"Damn it, go and notify Lord Kilmer!" Elliot, the intermediate wizard's face changed drastically, and he shouted.
He would not think that Abel was joking. If the position of Kilmer's senior wizard was really betrayed to Abel, then Abel might really come to kill him.
Kilmer's senior wizard is not a mouse. He is a wizard, a seventeenth-level senior wizard, so he must have his own magic tower. This magic tower is in the Put Valley. The magic tower is a few steps away from the Assassin's Guild. distance.
This distance just allows for the magical environment outside the magic tower, and is enough to deter any abnormal movements in the Assassin's Guild.
Although the Assassin's Guild has always hidden the location of the guild's headquarters, experienced assassins can determine their approximate location through the temperature and the smell in the air.
Grand Knight Acton didn't understand how powerful the staff made by Abel was to the wizards, but Eliot, an intermediate wizard who was also a wizard, knew that the staff in the hands of a wizard could kill himself at a critical moment. The strength is increased by a certain amount to kill the enemy or save one's life.
The most important reason why Abel became a master blacksmith is that he made a staff that amazed all master blacksmiths. It was precisely because of his ability to make staffs that he became one of the few master blacksmiths in the Holy Continent. one.
There are too few wizards in the entire Holy Continent who can own a staff made by Abel. The staff made by Abel is almost only known by its name, but not seen in person.
It is precisely for this reason that the staff he made is truly priceless. If a wizard only needs to provide the location of Kilmer's senior wizard to get a chance for Abel to make a staff, then there will really be countless wizards. Everyone will go crazy looking for the senior wizard Kilmer.
It's not like fighting the senior wizard Kilmer, but just informing Abel of his location. This opportunity is a good achievement no matter how you look at it.
If the intermediate wizard Elliot was not the leader of the Assassin's Guild, he would have wanted to sell the senior wizard Kilmer to get the chance for Abel to make a staff for him.
Even the mid-level wizard Elliot would think so, let alone the other wizards in the Assassin's Guild.
Only then did the intermediate wizard Elliot truly feel the terrifying aspect of Abel as a master blacksmith. Just a promise could make his enemies tremble in fear.
"Damn it, what have you done?" A white light appeared in the chamber, and then an angry voice sounded.
It was the senior wizard Kilmer who came. He was in his magic tower when he got the news that Grandmaster Abel was buying his position. As a seventeenth-level senior wizard, he knew the inside story of many things.
Among high-level wizards, Abel is a taboo, an existence that cannot be messed with.
The seventeenth-level senior wizards were indeed powerful, but in the wizarding circle outside Harry's Castle, three seventeenth-level senior wizards were killed in succession.
Since then, no senior wizard has wanted to be an enemy of Abel, and Abel is not a wizard without background. The terrifying strength of the thunder and lightning series also makes senior wizards fear the forces behind them.
You must know that among the most powerful eighteenth-level senior wizards on the Holy Continent, there is the senior wizard Dunn from the thunder and lightning series. According to rumors, senior wizard Dunn is the number one wizard in the entire Holy Continent.
Even though the senior wizard Dunn was the last senior wizard to be promoted to level 18, and the promotion time was not long, the combat power of lightning-type wizards can even out the gap in training time.
"Sir, what should we do now? Can we make up for it by giving the name of the order to Grandmaster Abel?" Elliot, an intermediate wizard, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"It's too late. You don't understand Abel. His temper is vengeful. You have already set out to assassinate him. How could he let you and the Assassin's Guild go by just because of your news!" Senior Wizard Kilmer said helplessly. Shaking his head, he said in a deep voice.
His channel knows Abel’s temper better. From the process of Abel’s growth, the death of all enemies, overt or covert, is inseparable from Abel. From the nobles and princes at the beginning to the wizards later, This is true even for high-level wizards.
"Then let's start a war, mobilize all the assassins to start a war against the Principality of Camai, let them know how powerful we are, and let Abel retreat in spite of the difficulties!" Lord Knight Acton said loudly with cold eyes.
"Acton, if our forces in the Principality of Kamai are still there, then we can still launch an attack on the Principality of Kamai. Now that all the forces in the Principality of Kamai have been eradicated, we can only mobilize people from other principalities to the Principality of Kamai, but then It will take some time to proceed!" Elliot, an intermediate wizard, said in a deep voice.
His meaning was obvious. They had no time. If Abel could be killed in a short time, all threats would be eliminated.
But as time goes by, countless knights and wizards will find the Assassin's Guild, and even the assassins of the Assassin's Guild will target them.
