Chapter 243 Assassin
Chapter 243 Assassin
Mondstadt, in the heavily guarded castle of the lonely king.
No. 1 Ye Li skillfully changed into the clothes of a knight that was similar to his body shape, and began to patrol the castle with ease.
"I'm not saying this to sound harsh, but there's no point in hiding. With your strength, it would be faster to just charge in directly."
"What do you know? An assassin must have the consciousness of an assassin. Do you know how to create an atmosphere?"
No. 1 Ye Li communicated with the North Wind Wolf King through the power of the spirit, and the two began a fierce argument over the idea of infiltration.
The former believes that infiltration means to keep the other party unaware and complete the assassination mission in an atmosphere where no one is aware.
The latter thought, why make it so complicated? Just keep it simple and kill all the people present directly without even a chance to question or investigate. This would be the perfect way for an assassin to sneak in.
"Although your method is feasible, it is too conspicuous. Investigators will obviously find out the existence of the rival force, and there is also the risk of being exposed."
"But your infiltration is more risky. Once discovered, you will be hunted endlessly. Even if you can fight your way out, I have the means to use my special abilities to expose your disguised identity directly, but it will take a long time."
"That's right. The longer I investigate, the more time my forces, which have not yet grown up, will have to develop. Isn't this exactly what I want?"
"You mean, even if we kill those people, it will only give me a headache for a while. The army still needs to be called out, and there is no time to deal with you who broke into the castle."
"That's not wrong. My main goal is to regain my ruling power. With the rise of various forces, his divine power will weaken as faith declines. If he doesn't take any action, the people he governs will fall apart. This is tantamount to a betrayal for any demon god who loves his people."
"Alas, although my love for the people is sincere, my actions are really unacceptable to everyone. This is tantamount to a prison for those who yearn for freedom."
The North Wind Wolf King sighed helplessly. Although he had no intention of competing for the throne, he could understand that his actions were problematic. However, his stubbornness was the cause of all this cause and effect. Now, No. 1 Ye Li, who came to assassinate him and was actually delaying time, was just a small result of the cause and effect rules of all this.
At this moment, the man and the wolf had already changed the topic and started to take this infiltration seriously.
After saying hello to several acquaintances along the patrol route who were familiar with the owner of his knight armor, No. 1 Ye Li finally patrolled to the most important position on the route.
The King's room, or the grand parliament hall, was mentioned most frequently in the intelligence collected by Ye Li after entering the King's main city on the 1st. It was also the main place where the people complained and discussed secretly.
Looking at the two tall knights guarding the door, No. 1 Ye Li approached quietly from a corner at a speed that no one could notice, and took out a special brick from the token.
The special bricks with both mental and physical effects hit the two knights' heads hard. In an instant, the two men fell to the ground without even a sound. It was very strange and quiet.
After taking back the brick, No. 1 Ye Li used the power of the wind element to transform himself into a breeze, penetrated through the crack in the door, and entered the conference hall.
His figure appeared, and No. 1 Ye Li quickly took out a pair of gloves made of slime and put them on his hands. He began to imitate the wall-climbing skills of an American movie hero, and with the help of the wind element, he climbed up to the roof wall above lightly and silently.
The series of actions were so smooth that the expressions of those in the meeting were a little dull. However, for the lonely king who had a very keen sense of elemental force, it really made him speechless.
No. 1 Ye Li steadied his body and looked up from his perspective. Just above him, there were a group of people looking up at him. The strange gaze between one and many made No. 1 Ye Li's eyes twitch.
"Hahahaha! I knew something would go wrong if you were lurking for so long. If you hadn't acted so seriously, I would have suspected that you did it on purpose."
At this moment, the North Wind Wolf King began to laugh mercilessly, but there was no mockery in his eyes. However, that faint smile did have an intriguing meaning.
No. 1 Ye Li showed a helpless look, then looked at the lonely king sitting on the main seat in the meeting, and said in a resolute tone:
"My king, because of your willful behavior, the entire Mondstadt has been plunged into war. Today I have come to take your life. Take it!"
As No. 1 Ye Li finished speaking, just as dozens of senior executives who had reacted were about to call for help, he fell from the rooftop wall at an extremely fast speed. The flash of sword light he raised made the leader of the Lone King's Knights, who instantly came in front of the Lone King, feel the illusion of death.
Seeing this, the lonely king could not just sit there. His most loyal believers were standing in front of him. If he did not do anything, he would really lose all support and become the tyrannical lonely king in the eyes of all Mondstadt people.
With a slight wave of his hand upwards, a circular wall constructed with wind blocked the penetration of sword light. The leader of the Lonely King's Knights was blown away by the aftermath of the two attacks and smashed hard against the wall, forming a human-shaped mural that could not be scratched off.
With a trace of blood in his mouth, the leader of the Knights of the Lone King looked in shock at the assassin who had connected with the god. The shock in his heart slowly raised up huge waves in his heart.
Seeing his plain sword being blocked, No. 1 Ye Li did not have the slightest thought of being careless. He turned around and raised a frost, turning the surroundings into an ice field, successfully blocking the many knights and high-ranking officials who wanted to surround him.
At this moment, the lonely king had already stood up from the throne, and the cloak behind him was swaying in the cold wind stirred by No. 1 Ye Li, but this scene brought a certain sense of prestige to the lonely king, causing all the beings present whose combat power was weaker than the demon level to retreat continuously.
"King of the North Wind, I didn't expect you to come here through a medium. Could it be that you really changed your mind and came to fight for the throne of God?"
At this moment, everyone who heard the words of the lonely king looked surprised. They had heard about the North Wind Wolf King before. It was said that his strength was not weaker than that of their lonely king.
But it is really hard to believe why the Lord of the North Wind, who is rumored to be ignorant of worldly affairs and has no interest in the throne of God, would possess an assassin to help him.
"Hahaha! Your Majesty, I am not trying to compete for the throne. It's just that the guy I recognize wants to deal with you. After all, I heard some bad rumors about you from him."
The North Wind Wolf King used the mark on the back of No. 1 Ye Li's hand to create a transparent shadow behind him. The Wolf King's domineering and heroic demeanor was shrunk countless times and was undoubtedly displayed in the illusory shadow that was three meters tall and five meters long.
"If that's the case, then the assassin you approved will suffer. After all, I have to do something to help him sneak in and assassinate me."
"Oh, you are so confident. Your strength is not as good as before. It's hard to say how much you can exert."
There was a hint of joking in the tone of the North Wind Wolf King, but it was totally inconsistent with the serious expression of the illusory figure.
The king didn't waste any time. The power of the devil burst out, and in an instant, the whole castle was shaking.
The huge wind pressure formed strong winds, and invisible wind blades appeared one after another, floating and undulating, and flew towards No. 1 Ye Li at a tricky angle.
