In an alley, a group of people were confronting each other.
To be more precise, it was two knights confronting a dozen people wearing black robes.
Two knights wearing black standard heavy armor stood at the exit of the alley. Their heads were completely wrapped in strong dragon-shaped helmets. The black heavy armor was extremely delicate and full of heaviness, with a stripe on the edge. Gorgeous golden lines.
They are like fortresses, giving people a sense of invulnerability.
Just two people standing here are already like a mountain that is difficult to destroy.
Bai Yan recognized it immediately.
These two people are the knights of the "God Blade".
The local guardian knights of Annotales.
There are hundreds of knights all over the country in the Kingdom of Dark Light. Once every thirty years, the ten strongest knights will be selected through a competition and are called the "Ten Pillar Knights".
Only the best among the "Ten Pillars of Knights" are eligible to apply to join the strongest knights.
Divine Blade.
They are the guardians of Annotales, and people often compare the "God Blade" with the "Sword-bearing Troops" of the Demon Enforcement Administration.
There were a dozen men in black robes in the alley, all wearing thick masks that completely covered their faces.
They were sweating profusely and their bodies were shaking.
Although they were the larger group, it was obvious that these people were the ones being surrounded.
Two "divine blades" were standing at the entrance of the alley, seemingly sealing the place completely.
A knight in black armor spoke slowly, his voice was heavy and full of magnetism, but it was as shuddering as the god of death:
"That's it."
"Members of the Witch Cult... you have no way out. Immediately surrender the evil people you believe in!"
"Otherwise, we will be executed on the spot!"
Chapter 254 Mercury Dance (Mu Zhen’s character design draft)
Witch Order.
They also call themselves the "Moon Annihilation Sect" and believe in the Witch of the End and her successive reincarnations.
The Witch Order believes that sooner or later the "Final Witch" will ascend to the throne of God, and the "Rainbows" will kneel at her feet and become slaves who will never be able to stand up.
Obviously, although the Witch Order does not believe in otherworldly gods, they are definitely regarded as a cult organization by all countries.
The reincarnation of this generation is Miss Qin Subai, whom Bai Yan is familiar with.
That elusive guy.
Theoretically, the reincarnation of the Final Witch is the only master and spiritual support of all believers.
But she herself was completely dismissive of the order, even calling it a "traitor".
Even though Bai Yan had played the game for a week, he still didn't know the details.
But he knew that the Witch Order was a mixed bag of good and bad, and had done extraordinary things. It was by no means a benign and innocent organization.
There is no need for him to stand out in front of the "God Blade" for them.
So, Bai Yan calmly hid in the dark and "eated".
"We won't say it, we will never say it, just do it!" the leading believer shouted.
He looked desperate, as if telling his secret would lead to unimaginable and horrific retaliation.
Or maybe, there is no way to tell it...
There was a flash of silver light.
The man's head rolled directly to the ground, the body slowly fell, and a large amount of blood sprayed out like spring water.
Blood continued to flow on the ground, gathering into small pools.
The others looked horrified, and no one could see clearly how the other party took action.
The two black-armored knights were still blocking the alley. They were like unshakable steel walls. Standing there, no one could shake them.
The black-armored knight who had been talking continued to speak, his voice like a heavy machine crushing people's bones: "Some people may not have heard clearly just now, so let me ask again, where is the reincarnation of the witch?"
For a moment, no one answered.
Bai Yan noticed something.
The faces of the people in the Witch Order were all strange. Some people were obviously not firm, but they still refused to tell the secret.
Silver light appeared again, and two more people were beheaded.
The black-armored knight was silent for a long time, and then said again word by word: "Where is the reincarnation of the witch?"
Finally, one of the believers could no longer bear it in despair.
He knelt on the ground and begged for his life. He raised his head tremblingly and looked at the two absolutely unbeatable enemies.
"I want to say it! I want to say it! But, we can't tell it at all. We will never be able to betray our master for generations to come. You should know... that legend, the ideological stamp is real!"
The black-armored knight nodded and said: "I have indeed heard that your ancestors betrayed the witch and ate her flesh and blood. Afterwards, they were cursed for generations and were imprinted with the steel mark of their thoughts. They will never be able to betray her reincarnation. body."
"I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true."
He sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Then you are all useless."
As soon as he finished speaking, the members of the Witch Cult went crazy and wanted to force their way out of the alley!
However, this is impossible.
The next moment, a sudden silver light appeared in the alley. Everyone was split into two halves by the silver light in this frame. Their bodies were broken, their flesh and blood were shattered, and they were so dead that they could no longer die!
"It's over, let's go."
The black-armored knight turned around and left calmly, followed slowly by the other one who never spoke.
After the two "God Blade" black-armored knights turned and left, about half a minute passed before Bai Yan, who had been in the dark, finally appeared.
He looked at the corpses on the ground and fell into deep thought.
"At that moment, what attack caused their death? Although I should be fine with my 'slime' physique, the invisible attack pattern is still a threat."
However, Bai Yan couldn't figure it out after investigating for a while.
Fortunately, it didn't matter. He and the Divine Blade Knight were not enemies.
"God's Blade... In reality, which side will you be on? The human side or the god's side."
Bai Yan got up and left the scene, preparing to go home.
He perceives a thing through his incarnation.
His lovely personal maid, Carol "Hidden Blue", had already taken advantage of the darkness to leave the villa.
"Oh, are you looking for someone from the Mercury Ball?"
Bai Yan smiled.
One of his goals in coming to Annotales was the Mercury Ball!
—
The lightless hall seemed to have been dilapidated for a long time, and there was a smell of decay that was difficult to hide.
In the darkness, there is a long silver round table.
Five people wearing various weird masks gradually appeared in the form of projections sitting behind a long table.
The seven colors of masks, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, represent the inheritance of the seven different "top assassins" of Mercury Ball.
"Red" and "Purple" are currently vacant.
The blue among them, that is, the "Hidden Blue" is the only exception.
Viewed as a killing tool rather than management.
The remaining "orange", "yellow", "green" and "purple" are the people behind the round table.
They are the core members of the ancient organization Mercury Ball, commanding a large number of assassins under their command.
Beyond that, there's a man wearing a mask of flowing mercury.
The mask does not appear to be a mask, but a flowing liquid surface that completely covers the face of the man in a white robe, highlighting the blurred features.
This man is the "host" of the Mercury Ball.
He has a higher status than "Orange", "Yellow", "Green", and "Purple" and can be seen as the leader of the Mercury Ball.
In the middle of the silver round table, stood a girl with ice blue hair wearing black and white clothes and showing no emotion.
She stood here motionless, without any unnecessary expression.
It seems like a tool without a "heart".
"The Hidden Blue."
The middle-aged woman wearing a purple mask slowly spoke in her projection: "Has the investigation of the target's situation been completed?"
Carol's eyes were indifferent and she said: "The target has been confirmed. It is weaker than the investigators' intelligence and is easy to assassinate."
"very good."
The shadow of the middle-aged woman behind the purple mask nodded slightly and stopped talking, seemingly satisfied.
Then, it was an old man whose Assassin symbol was the "orange mask" who spoke.
The old man said: "In that case, host, have you decided to delete the person 'Viscount Edmond'?"
The host wearing a flowing mercury mask was silent for a long time.
Instead of giving a direct order, he said something else.
"Recently, Captain Chris of the Divine Blade has returned to Annotales. It is necessary for us to send someone to find out what he is thinking...whether the Divine Blade is going to take action against the Mercury Ball."
Green mask's "Youth" projection opening:
"That 'monster' is really difficult to deal with, especially with his extremely powerful willpower. There may be no more terrifying existence than him in this world."
The host nodded and continued: "The saints of the Deadly Arms have also come to Anotales. They are looking for the reincarnation of the new generation of witches of the Witch Order."
The Deadly Arms is the largest cult group in the world.
They believe in the "Silent Singer" among the gods outside the world, and long for eternal peace of mind.
The strength of this behemoth saint is certainly extraordinary.
The middle-aged woman in the purple mask asked curiously: "In other words, the new generation of the reincarnation of the Final Witch has also arrived here? It seems that this city is going to become lively. Hidden in Blue, be careful, don't be fooled by the big shots. I accidentally crushed him to death.”
"Speaking of which, your current task is not to face the suicidal assassination of a big shot, but to deal with a little guy. Lucky for you."
Finally, the host slowly raised his hand and gave the order in the darkness.
"Hidden Blue, erase that target."
After the order was given, the host's projection slowly faded into nothingness, and then the other masks disappeared one by one.
Only the purple mask remained, and it slowly flew in front of Carol.
"So, this is for today."
Lavender light flickered from the mask, and the area illuminated by the light gradually became larger.
A very special twisted feeling of pain was implanted in Carol's mind.
The girl just watched this scene calmly without any resistance.
The huge pain was enough to make an ordinary person roll on the ground, but she remained indifferent. Carol had long been fully accustomed to this kind of pain.
The twisted spell is constantly depriving the girl of ordinary emotions, allowing Carol to endure things that ordinary people cannot bear, and she will never waver.
Only such "unintentional" assassins are the most perfect existence.
"Good, done."
The purple mask continues to make sounds:
