Remember the bet between Shinji and Fiore about whether Gold would have a brain seizure

In the end, Shinji won and Fiore lost. The loser Fiore had to help Shinji make a few props, two of which were the hidden blade and the hand axe, and others included essential assassin weapons such as crossbows and darts. Of course, Shinji's usual slingshot was also indispensable - this prop had the highest requirements, and even with Fiore's superb technology to create metal mechanical arms and the material reserves accumulated by the Thousand Worlds Tree clan for decades, it was not completed.

The reason why I chose the hidden blade, hand axe, hand crossbow, and darts is that these weapons are very suitable for an assassin. The treasures that Shinji carries are powerful, but when they are used, they will burst out with magical fluctuations that are difficult to conceal. They are not suitable for sneak attacks or close combat. With these, Shinji's shortcomings in this aspect can be made up.

As for the idea of playing a real-life Assassin's Creed, I do have it, but that's just a side idea. I have to be very clear about the priorities.

Mordred, who was unaware of the reputation of Master Kang, naturally would not take these insidious props seriously. She could tell at a glance that they were not treasures, and the attached magic was just enhanced magic - it was not certain whether such things could break through her armor, and even if they could, the worst that could happen was that she would not be hit.

Mordred, full of confidence, didn't give Shinji a chance to breathe and pressed forward step by step.

Mordred is fearless, but that doesn't mean that Lion Jie has no scruples. Although he and Mordred are like-minded and both have a courageous character, he is not stupid. After seeing the Black Assassin's weapons and his unsophisticated fighting style, he knew that rushing forward at this time would be courting death, so he chose to hide in a place where he could see the battle and would not be attacked by Archer and Assassin.

Looking around, he found a duplex building about thirty meters away - the structure of a building within a building provided a natural shelter.

That's it!

Lion Jie made a decision, quickly entered an alley, and ran towards his destination.

Just as he was about to reach his destination, he heard a strange sound.

"Bang", "Bang", dull sounds, as if something was hitting the wall. The sound was not loud, but very even, and it was getting closer and closer.

Lion Jie realized something was wrong and his muscles tensed.

Soon, he saw a young girl.

The girl is not on the ground, she is "floating" in the air.

The location was a narrow alley between two buildings. Fiore Holwich Eugene Domilenia was stabbing the outer wall of the building with two "arms" extending from her back. The "arms" gave people a smooth and hard feeling, and looked like the limbs of a spider.

"So that's how it is. The target is me?" After seeing the enemy, Lion Jie relaxed.

"No, no, you are all targets." The girl smiled, looking very sweet.

"Then, I guess I can skip introducing myself, right?"

"That's right. We should have known each other's names by now. But can I give you a warning?"

"Please go ahead."

"Leave here immediately, Necromancer. Every piece of land here is the territory of our Thousand World Tree. I can forgive your rudeness for trespassing without permission. But if you ignore this warning, you will have to pay the price of death for your foolish behavior."

"Oh... So, do you think I'll actually listen?"

After hearing what Lion Jie said, Fiore smiled even more brightly:

"No. But I can't make up my mind unless I declare this."

In other words, once the declaration is made, there will be no hesitation about killing oneself.

However, Shizijie did not intend to follow the other party's warning. He reached for the shotgun in his gun bag as his answer. Instantly, the density of magic power in the surrounding area began to increase significantly.

This sudden surge in magic power was quickly captured by the two servants not far away.

"That's it!" All of Mordred's magic power was supplied by Lion Jie. Lion Jie began to use a large amount of magic power. Mordred immediately noticed that the violent sword force also had a slight pause.

"Haha, it looks like it's started over there too." On the contrary, Shinji was not surprised.

Before blocking the way, he and Fiore had already formulated a strategy - Shinji entangled Mordred and tried to force the lion away to create an opportunity for Fiore to fight a magician. The duel between servants and modern magicians is completely in a different dimension. If there are servants present, they can only become auxiliary. Only when away from servants can magicians show what they have learned and compete with their secret arts.

Coincidentally, the observation point chosen by Lion Jie was also chosen by the Fulvig siblings.

As expected, Lion Jie bumped into Fiore.

The pause in Mordred's sword was only for a moment, but it did not escape Shinji's eyes. The small hand axe was swung at an astonishing speed, passing through the weak point of the sword light and chopped towards Mordred's head. Because of the height difference of more than 20 centimeters, the axe was particularly smooth to chop, and it was definitely Shinji's best performance tonight.

However, this excellent performance still failed to cause any harm to Mordred, and her response was amazing. After a few slight "clicks", some parts of Mordred's chest and shoulder armor bounced up, almost instantly forming a helmet, covering Mordred's entire head, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

That's right, Mordred's treasure, the "Helmet of Concealed Infidelity", is usually broken down into several parts and stored on the shoulder armor and chest armor. It can be assembled or disassembled with just a thought. It is higher-tech than high-tech.

After putting on the helmet, Mordred moved his head slightly to the side. Although it was only a few centimeters, it was enough to block Shinji's hand axe.

Rely on what

It's simple, just rely on the horns on the helmet.

Shinji had always thought that the horns on the helmet were just decorations. In history, many generals liked to decorate their helmets with various horns, most commonly horns from cows and deer. He didn't expect this thing to be so hard that it even broke a gap on the blade of the hand axe - could it be that the horns were the real thing? Or did Morgan add some magic to it

In any case, Mordred blocked Shinji's fatal blow in an unexpected way, and her counterattack came soon after - tooth for tooth, blood for blood, with a sword chopping down on the head.

Shinji had no choice but to use his hidden blade to block while retreating. Under the premise of equal strength, it was impossible for one hand to block the force of two hands' slashing.

While retreating step by step, Shinji did not forget to launch a verbal offensive: "My Master is waiting for your Master over there, aren't you worried at all?"

However, not only was Mordred not affected at all, but his morale became even higher.

"I'm not worried. He's my Master, the best Master ever! He won't lose."

The knight's sword was as confident and unstoppable as her words.
