Night, Fort Eagle.
When the bright moonlight shone into the entire castle, everyone had already fallen asleep, only the patrolling soldiers were holding oil lamps and patrolling around.
At this moment, a black figure took advantage of the gap between soldiers patrolling, and quickly slipped into the castle. He looked up at the bedroom where Kane was, and climbed up.
In the bedroom, Kane seemed to be asleep, and the sound of tiny breathing came from his mouth.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the window.
"Crunch."
followed by a slight thud
"Boom"
A black figure quietly walked to Kane's bedside.
Looking at Kane who fell into a deep sleep, Soi Ying felt very puzzled.
He obviously shot a crossbow arrow into the opponent's heart last night, and even watched the opponent die with his own eyes.
Why, after a day, he was training by the castle as if nothing had happened. If he hadn't been careful, he didn't know how to explain to the lord.
But fortunately, the other party seemed to deliberately keep the matter secret, which also gave Sombra another chance to assassinate.
This time, Sombra promises to kill the target completely.
Thinking about it, the black shadow pulled out the long knife from his back.
He didn't believe it anymore, could it be that if he cut off his head, the other party would still be alive and kicking.
Immediately, the long knife slashed at Kane quickly, but he, who was supposed to be asleep, opened his eyes at this moment, and rolled to the side with all his strength, so that the long knife finally hit the pillow behind him.
"puff"
"How could it be?" Soi Ying whispered in disbelief.
"Why are you awake?" Kane, who rolled out of bed, had already picked up his long sword and stood up.
Noticing the wrong shadow, he stopped talking, but slashed at Kane again.
"Action." Kane shouted to the surroundings.
Then he raised his long sword and collided with the opponent's long knife.
"clang."
Kane, who was invincible in strength, was quickly suppressed by the opponent's offensive.
More and more knife marks emerged from his body.
But this did not make Kane feel timid at all, on the contrary, it inspired the bestiality hidden in his blood.
He roared excitedly.
"Aww!!!"
And gradually equalize with each other in strength.
At this moment, the door of the bedroom was knocked open.
Two men and women in leather armor rushed in quickly, and quickly cooperated with Kane to suppress the shadow.
In less than half a minute, the situation was completely reversed. Until now, Sombra, who still had the illusion of escape, also gave up.
Knocking off the opponent's long knife, Kane immediately ordered the other two to hold the opponent down.
After taking out a thick rope from the room, with the cooperation of the two, Kane tied the shadow tightly.
It was only at this moment that Kane realized that something was wrong with his body. He walked to the window and observed his body by the moonlight.
I don't know when his arms grew a lot of white hair, his nails were more slender than before, and his two canine teeth were exposed.
Just when Kane was amazed by this phenomenon, all the previous changes quickly faded away, and his original appearance was restored, together with the knife marks on his body.
"Say! Who are you to send the assassin, dare to assassinate Lord Kane."
While Kane was inspecting his body, the woman in leather armor next to him started the interrogation.
Catherine Qiusi is a woman's name, she was born in the barony where Kane is located, the subordinate Maike Village.
As early as an early age, he showed an extremely outstanding swordsman talent, so he was valued and cultivated by the former baron, Rachel Gerald.
And Catherine herself did not live up to the baron's expectations. At the age of 16, she broke through as an apprentice swordsman and reached the first rank, and then broke through to the middle rank of the first rank in the next two years. It is foreseeable that she will definitely break through in the next few years. Up to the second level, or even the third level is also possible.
Unlike Catherine who started the interrogation impatiently, another man in leather armor next to her, after binding the black shadow, came to Kane's side, and saw the whole process of Kane's transformation.
But he didn't make a sound, but stood silently aside, and didn't speak until Kane recovered.
"Master Kane, are you alright?"
Kane, who came back to his senses, took a deep look at the man: "Marcus, I'm fine, you and Catherine can suppress the assassin together."
"Yes, my lord."
Looking at the figure of the other party leaving, memories of Marcus emerged in Kane's mind.
Marcus Aimer is the third son of Opid Aimer. As the third son of the baron family, he has no right to inherit. A wandering knight.
It just so happened that Baron Opide and his father Rachel Gerrard were good friends, so he entrusted his son to him, hoping to obtain a knighthood.
Marcus himself is also very competitive. Not only did he quickly obtain the knighthood with the help of his loyal lord Rachel Gerald, but he also won many meritorious service, turning his lifelong knighthood into an inheritance system.
Suppressing the doubts about the body in his heart, Kane knew that now is not a good time to investigate.
He walked out of the room and escorted the shadow to the basement of the castle with Marcus and Catherine.
Outside the bedroom, the earlier noise made the servants and guards in the castle gather outside the door, and the housekeeper, Jess, was trying his best to appease them.
As one of the few people who knew Kane's plan, Jess' duty was to explain what happened to everyone and calm their emotions.
The three escorts ignored the attention of others, passed through the crowd, and came to the basement of the castle.
Marcus lit the torch on the wall, and finally there was a glimmer of light in the dark basement. Several people locked the shadow into a cage and tied his hands behind the chair.
After making sure that the shadow would not break free, Catherine tore off the shadow's veil.
The face of a young Ossos with green-blue eyes and short yellow hair appeared before the three of them.
Looking at the other person's face, Kane said with some doubts: "I don't know you from a strange face."
To this, Sombra didn't answer, but just stared at the three of them.
Seeing Sombra's uncooperative attitude, Catherine punched him in the stomach, making him tremble with pain, but Sombra remained silent.
"Boy, don't tell me, right? I have plenty of solutions." Turning around, Catherine went to get the execution tool.
At this time, the stable Marcus said: "As far as I know, the Ossos people generally live in the northwest region of the kingdom, which is neither too far nor too close to us."
"The Ossos who have mastered the extraordinary abilities of knights can only be nobles, but the children of ordinary nobles don't bother to be assassins, so they can only be wandering knights or down-and-out nobles."
There was finally a slight change in the shadow's unmoving eyes, which also proved that what Marcus said was correct.
