Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

As the sunset, the port area’s busy trade gradually came to an end, and people’s flow came and gone slowly dissipated. However, in the deep alley of the old area, it was still quiet. No one could see or even hear anything. The light of the setting sun reflected in the mossy house, creating a hazy shadow, creating a depressing atmosphere.

Vyrut, who had been disfigured in the secret base, sat at a round table, holding his hands and meditating quietly. On the table, there was a huge map, with runic marks written all over it. Next to him was Snakeskin, who had been changed into black, but was still nervous. 

Seckor, however, was still leaning against the back of the chair in the distance, seeming to be still angry.

Vyrut looked at the table with empty eyes and tapped her fingers subconsciously. He had just convened two meetings, and the action plan had been drawn up. Now he just needed to wait quietly until the time came. For him, the plan itself didn’t need to be confused, but there were still many variables in the current situation. He had hinted earlier that Lord Yu would take actions and the force behind it. Vyrut thought to herself, “Time is limited. If they can wait until night, they will have a better chance of getting rid of him. But he’s afraid that he won’t give it a chance.”

The hall was silent. Since he came back, Snakeskin had been restless. Finally, he couldn’t bear the heavy atmosphere. He rubbed his hands and asked hesitantly, “Young master，Prince Yu, when will you send someone here? Do you want to go to the reception? “

Vyrut was brought back to earth by the question. He slowly turned his head and looked at the masked man with a strange expression. He couldn’t believe that the man would ask such a stupid question. But he quickly calmed down and regained his indifference. Without any hesitation, he asked, “Snakeskin……Do don’t you even think before you speak? “

What do you mean? The masked man was stunned for no reason. He remembered what he had heard in the prince’s mansion just now and realized that he didn’t ask anything wrong. Then he heard a slightly hoarse voice slowly saying, “Do you think he will stand on our side? If he didn’t stab me in the back, I would have been humiliated. What person is Prince Yu? How can we really invite him to help just with our strength? “

“Then… Then why did you… “

“Acting!” Vyrut leaned back in his chair with a snort and slightly closed his eyes to teach his ignorant subordinate a lesson. “Now in the Jing City, three forces are competing around the assassination: the crown prince, the Prince Yu, and the unknown strength that plotted against us. We are on our own, and each of us can kick us out…Only by stirring up their fighting and stirring up the water in the pool can we have a chance to safely escape. “

I see…The Snakeskin nodded and asked in confusion, “Sir, what is the background of that force?”

“If you can set up an office in the flood icing Hotel, you should be from the North Federation Besides, I had no idea. However, now that we had entered the trap, there will surely be a time when there will be a flaw. We just need to do our best to preserve our strength and wait for the opportunity… “

Vyrut suddenly stopped at this point. He felt a cold wind blowing with a faint smell of blood. He immediately turned his head and looked at Seckor. He saw the shadow assassin staring at the dark tunnel entrance. His hands extended to his legs and pulled out the daggers.

It’s coming … Vyrut sighed in his heart. He quickly put the map on his desk and put it into his pocket. He called out to the inside of the castle: “Ganger! Get ready. Before the words fell, he reached out and pulled out a large revolver gun from his waist, staring at the front, holding the weapon for a guard. The pistol can’t see the model. There are many magical patterns on its body. There is a diamond-shaped magic stone embedded in the black leather handle. It is obviously a valuable magic weapon.

Seckor pulled down his goggles and, without saying a word, stood in front of him, clasping his double daggers, tensing his muscles to make a defensive posture. The camouflager did not dare to stay here to make trouble, ran away in a hurry, and fled the hall.

Before long, sporadic footsteps came from the tunnel exit, and a tall figure appeared in the dim light of the hall. He was dressed in a dark green military officer’s uniform. He held a black broadsword in his right hand, and his eyes glowed with frightful cold. It was Colonel Ye Chi.

The Colonel glanced at the hall and looked at the two nervous teenagers as if they had nothing. He said coldly, “At this time, put your hands down and deal with it lightly.”

“No way!” Seckor was not afraid to be provoked by anyone. He snorted angrily. He quickly threw several black bullets from his left hand and flashed into the black smoke. Only a sharp metal friction sound was heard in the smoke. The shadow assassin was shot out like a shell. He fell on the ground and turned backward. He got up with the situation. He felt the sharp pain from his hands, which almost made him unable to hold the dagger. A few seconds later, the black smoke was gone, and the officer was still indifferent, hanging his head and closing his eyes as if he were still waiting for a reply.

Vyrut waved to stop the reckless youth who still wanted to fight with each other. He said with a smile as if nothing had happened: “You don’t come here uninvited. It’s not the way to be a guest.”

The dust quickly settled down. The military officer walked out of the smoke with a cold face. His military uniform was still neat and spotless. He looked around and found that the ground was full of broken stones and bricks, but the two young men had already disappeared. It seemed that persuading them to surrender failed, but the captain didn’t care at all. He put the saber back into its sheath, held it in his hand, and waited for a moment. Then several white-robed warriors slowly walked out of the tunnel behind him.

“Seal it off.” The officer ordered coldly and strode forward, holding the hilt of the knife. According to the prince’s plan, he needed to block the whole base so that the assassins had no way back.

The warriors each stretched out their hands and released their great power. The hall immediately flashed with a yellow light, and layers of brown soil appeared out of nowhere. They quickly spread and filled the walls of the stone castle. In the blink of an eye, the secret base was completely sealed and turned into a rock ball.

The underground base was in an unprecedented crisis of destruction. After Vyryt took the Seckor out of the hall, they ran all the way and ignited the explosions arranged in the secret passage. With a rhythmic roar, the entire passage turned into rock and earth ruins. At the end of the secret passage, the two young men met Ganger and Snakeskin, who had already led a team to wait here. However, they did not open the hidden wall. A group of more than ten people continued to turn around the wall, surrounding a sealed rock brick in the distance.

“Back off!” Ganger shouted in a low voice, and the urban attack cannon on his shoulder shook out a light column. The rock wall in front of him exploded in an instant, and the dim yellow sunlight shone into the closed space through the crack. Everyone hurried to get out of the secret passage.

Outside the entrance of the cave was a shabby abandoned building, which looked deserted. Vyrut looked up at sunset and made a gesture to pause. He listened carefully, but there was no sound around as if something had devoured everything that could make noise.

Illusion … He stared at the strange and hazy golden light on the roof in the distance and understood. It seemed that the crown prince had already taken control of the surroundings. If they broke in rashly, they would definitely be lost and unable to escape.

“Hide as planned…”Vyrut made a gesture and whispered. Everyone silently lined up and fumbled forward against the wall.

When they turned around an alley, Vyrut found many single-sided black mirrors hidden in advance from the corner. He gave the camouflage mirror to everyone, and everyone quickly set up the mirror on the wall according to the set angle and made a camouflage mirror wall by force. It was impossible to see that there was a group of living people hiding here. After the disguised himself, he made a gesture of silence, and the assassins hid by the side of the alley wall, without making any sound.

The city built by the illusion was deathly silent. Shane was leisurely leaning against the railing on the rooftop of a small building on the east side of the work and accommodation area. He drank wine with Jin Yuan and enjoyed the sunset as if she was a traveler coming for a trip. Coorong, the gray-robed cultivator, stood not far away and looked downstairs. He still covered his hood in silence, showing no sign of existence.

Suddenly, a soldier in green rushed in from downstairs and whispered something in Shane’s ear. The prince took a sip of wine and asked as if nothing had happened, “Nothing?”

The soldier nodded to confirm. Shane raised his hand and knocked gently on the railing. With a little interest, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, Ridiculous. Send more people to keep an eye on all the exits to make the light system warriors full alert. “

The sergeant immediately ran downstairs to give orders. The prince looked back at the sky and turned his glass to think. The other side’s reaction is not stupid. Once the night comes, the power of shadow will have a strong explosive force. The other must wait until dark to launch a surprise attack. It seemed that we have to go there in person and drove them out. The prince thought of this, put down his glass, and made a gesture to Jin Yuan: “Follow me to find out?”

“…… Are there any risks? Now that the prince has evacuated the surrounding residents, it is better to gradually narrow the scope and push forward slowly… “Jin Yuan hesitantly looked at the empty magic covered area in the distance. He was different from the prince who likes to win by surprise. He was the safest and safest in everything, and he would never commit any danger easily if it was not necessary.

“I’m afraid it’s too late. If it’s too late, there will be accidents. Let’s go to find the teacher first, and then step by step. “

“All right.” If the teacher was present, there would never be an accident that could hurt his highness. Jin Yuan nodded, drank the sake, and turned around to prepare to go downstairs.

“Prince.” Sorcerer of soul suddenly called them to a halt, and slowly leaned forward and said, “My soul magic can visit the hidden and serve the prince.”

“So, sir.” He didn’t expect that power of the soul would be so useful. The prince was more confident.

A group of three quickly walked down the stairs and walked silently along the winding lane. In this enchanted City, the virtual reality alternates, and the folded light covered the old buildings, blurring all traces of life, like a strange doomsday city. Under the golden sunset, high and low brick buildings were stacked one after another. With the footsteps of several people, they changed directions at the same time. It seemed that they will never see the end.

As the master of fantasy, Shane was naturally unaffected. He took them straight through the shadow wall. While carefully searching around, he walked towards the assassin’s stronghold and soon stood outside the secret wall of the front door of the stone castle. Shane takes a look at the wall, wrapped up in layers of mud, and is impervious to the wind. It seems that there is no problem with the front door. The three people patrol around the base and quickly find the broken wall.

“Be careful.” Seeing the crack, Jin Yuan immediately gave a warning. He pulled out the short stick-like lightning and changed it into a gun. Touching the ground, the white light wave extended to the wall, but he did not detect anything all the way.

The guard carefully stepped forward and examined it carefully. The crack didn’t look smooth and had a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke. It must have been the explosion trace left not long ago. I don’t know where these assassins went. He looked around again and saw nothing suspicious.

Shane also held the long knife at his waist, concentrating on his guard. He waved his hand and covered his body with a vague illusion. He asked the grey monk in a low voice, “Have you found anything, sir?” The man in the grey robe hung his head for a moment but slowly shook his head.

Not far away in the alley, the hidden assassins also heard these conversations, a little nervous. Seckor turned his head and winked at Vyrut, implying that this was a good chance to catch the prince. However, the other party tightly pursed his mouth and pressed his palm to indicate that he should not move lightly.

The assassin leaned back against the corner and was a little unhappy. Suddenly, he heard a hoarse voice shouting, “Who is it?” He was so shocked that he almost turned into a shadow and rushed out. Vyrut caught the troublemaker, frowned, and squatted on the ground, holding her breath.

Then he heard low laughter from outside, and a dry voice came from afar, “Prince Shane, you are not good at city chasing won’t be fooled so easily. “The voice floated in the air and seemed to have been integrated into the illusion, unable to find a place to come from.

“Don’t be so shameless. The one who hides his identity is just a coward. “The Prince sneered, but he couldn’t figure out who this capable man was.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin figure in a black robe slowly appeared on the building opposite the broken wall. He was also wearing a thick hat, wide and wide sleeves, covering his body without showing it. He walked slowly to the edge of the floor, looked down at the Prince and the others, and smiled. “Prince, you want to see me so much. How about going to my house with me for a while?”

This person seemed to be waiting here, especially. Did the assassins also invite backup? Shane thought for a while and stared at the man in black. When he was about to answer, he heard Ye Chi captain’s cold tone with ice dregs. “I’ll go with you.” With this deep and magnetic voice, a straight figure like a captain sword appeared at the crack of the wall. He held the blade sheath and looked straight at the strange man in a black robe, without any fluctuation on his face.

“Haha…”The old man smiled awkwardly again. “You’re bullying the young with your outnumbered strength. I’m sorry that I can’t keep you company. I’ll give you a gift before I leave…”

The strange man in black waved his sleeve, and the waves around him instantly spread through the entire work and accommodation area. The Destructive Magic smashed the illusion that Shane had spent a lot of effort to set up into pieces.

Jin Yuan put his hands on the ground and set up a space shield to protect them. The sound waves were like a tsunami, shaking the white shield. The sound wave stopped abruptly, followed by a loud bang of houses collapsing. The old building’s surrounding area in front of them was completely destroyed, and the figure in the black robe had already disappeared.

Jin Yuan slowly withdrew the shield. Although the sound wave attack seemed extremely powerful, it didn’t have much impact on him, as if the other party’s target was only to destroy the illusion. While he was thinking about it with the demon spear, the captain beside him told him to take good care of his highness. Then he jumped like the wind and chased after the strange man in a black robe.

The Prince felt a headache because of the sound wave. He frowned and stared at the ruins in the distance. When he was about to ask Jin Yuan, he heard a crisp sound of glass breaking. He followed the sound and saw a row of masked assassins in black appear at the entrance of the alley not far away. The camouflage mirror wall suddenly broke after being hit by the sound wave.

Jin Yuan stood in front of Shane and stared at the assassins in black. The white divine light was surrounding the demon spear. No matter what the old man’s purpose was, he accidentally exposed the Assassins’ whereabouts. The most important thing for him now was to catch them first. The Prince also took out his long saber and waved it. The whole alley turned into a white ground covered by strong light, and the assassins in black had nowhere to hide.

The sudden change of the situation on the stage was exactly what the Seckor wanted. He stared at Jin Yuan without blinking. He grinned sarcastically, showing his sharp tiger teeth. He quickly put his hands into the buckle around his waist and took a few black bombs. He was about to throw them out with force. Noticing what he was doing, Vyrut pulled his arm hard. It was not the right time to fight, so he’d better leave here first and wait for the change to come. When he was about to give an order, he heard a loud shout in the air, “Who dares to hurt my nephew?”

In an instant, the sky was covered with black clouds. Streaks of lightning, like sharp swords, pierced through the small hall. The electric current rolled and lit up the countless rotten wooden beams in the old building. For a moment, the flames mixed with surging lightning, as if it was the hell!
