The four Assassins looked ahead at Imina, who was staring at them with a cold expression, and then glanced at Tang Zheng, who was wrapped in a Black Robe, making it impossible to see his figure.
The air seemed to solidify at that moment.
Bang! Bang! The four Assassins, who had been scattered, moved simultaneously, two rushing towards Imina and two towards Tang Zheng.
"What a joke."
"You treat us like prey? Who do you two fools think we are?"
As the two Assassins ran, their footsteps remained very light, and their nimble movements overlapped, making the two of them seem like one person, one in front of the other.
Whoosh! The Assassin in the lead suddenly jumped from the spot, leaping into the air. A silver glint flashed from his sleeve—a small hand crossbow strapped to his arm.
Twang—
A faint sound echoed as a silver dot shot out from the crossbow, making a faint, almost imperceptible sound as it cut through the air.
What was even more surprising was that the other Assassin, who had been following behind, had disappeared.
"Stealth techniques aren't used like that."
Tang Zheng said calmly, his feet shifting as his figure left the spot, easily dodging the thin arrow shot from the opponent's arm.
He raised his left foot.
And kicked into a patch of shadow to his left.
"Ah!"
A sharp, painful scream instantly echoed through the night sky.
The disappeared Assassin retreated from the shadows, his body hunched over, coughing up blood, his chest completely caved in.
"These assassination techniques are only useful for ambushes; using them in the open is foolish." Tang Zheng lowered his raised left foot and turned his head to look at the other Assassin, who was falling from the air with a shocked expression.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
At the same time, the two Assassins who had rushed towards Imina also screamed.
"Should we leave one alive?" Imina asked, stepping over the two corpses, her voice cold.
The only surviving Assassin trembled all over.
Gulp!
The Assassin's throat bobbed as he swallowed, his forehead covered in cold sweat, but his tone was still tough as he spoke in a trembling, shrill voice, "You have no idea who you've offended!"
"Come with me, and you two might live. Otherwise, you'll all die here; no one can save you!"
Swish! An arrow shot from behind, piercing the Assassin's thigh.
"Ah!" The Assassin screamed.
"What a load of nonsense."
Imina strode over and kicked the Assassin to the ground, forcefully pressing the heel of her brown boot into the Assassin's thigh wound.
A piercing scream rang out again.
However, even with such a commotion, no one around seemed to notice anything unusual.
"I'll leave it to you to find out their base."
Tang Zheng put away the Silence Short Staff in his hand and spoke.
The number of Magic uses that had been exhausted had been replenished for the caster who possessed the Magic. In addition to this Silence Short Staff, he had purchased two more Short Staffs, one for Poison Cure and one for Disease Cure.
Both were support-type Magic.
Like Magic Scrolls, the Magic contained in the Short Staffs that could be made in the other world were only at the first or second tier level.
The two Short Staffs plus replenishing the Magic had cost him 600 Gold Coins. Fortunately, he currently had around 9,000 Gold Coins in his possession.
Accompanied by a series of screams.
Imina carried the unconscious Assassin to Tang Zheng, her slender eyebrows raised. "I've already interrogated him. This guy is one of the Assassin members trained by Six Arms Thousand Kill of Eight Fingers."
"Their base is currently in a manor outside the Royal Capital."
Tang Zheng's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Thousand Kill? I thought I'd attract people from the slave department of Eight Fingers, but I didn't expect it to be the subordinate of Six Arms from the security department. I really caught a big fish." Tang Zheng was pleasantly surprised.
"Are you really sure you want to cause trouble for them?" Imina's tone carried a hint of worry.
Before coming to the kingdom, she didn't know much about Eight Fingers. But now, with just the simple information she's gathered, Imina can feel how huge a force Eight Fingers is.
And the fact that this level of power has been able to exist in the kingdom for so long in itself represents an intricate connection with the nobles in the kingdom.
"Leave the rest to me."
"Don't worry."
Tang Zheng reached out and took the unconscious Assassin, then looked up at Imina and said, "There might be a surprise tomorrow."
After speaking.
Tang Zheng's figure disappeared into the night.
"That guy." Imina bit her lip, her eyes filled with deep worry.
Through Renners' attitude towards Tang Zheng, she vaguely guessed that Tang Zheng's strength might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
But no matter how you look at it, breaking into the enemy's lair alone is not a wise choice.
...
Brambus Manor.
It is one of the few large manors outside the Royal Capital, famous for brewing a rich, full-bodied wine called "Blood Red".
Each bottle costs more than 15 Silver Coins, and there is said to be "Blood Red" worth dozens of Gold Coins. In short, it is a fine wine that most people definitely cannot afford.
However, in reality.
This manor is the base of the security department of Eight Fingers, and the so-called "Blood Red" wine represents more than just a fine wine.
...
Inside the vast manor.
Tang Zheng, wrapped in a Black Robe, stood on a rock, looking at the brightly lit mansion in the center of the manor.
"As a security department, I didn't expect the security to be so poor. Consider it a greeting gift." Tang Zheng waved his hand.
Behind him.
Black figures swayed past Tang Zheng and approached the central mansion.
These people were the corpses Tang Zheng had killed along the way, controlled by the Magic of Undead Manipulation.
The people of Eight Fingers probably never thought that someone would dare to invade their base, especially the security department, which is the strongest of the eight departments, so the defense was surprisingly lax.
Being able to directly find the lair of the Eight Fingers security department.
For Tang Zheng, it was indeed a surprise.
His purpose in coming to the Royal Capital was not just to prepare for the future. There were also two classes that he was more concerned about.
One was naturally the high-level class Ninja, in the hands of the Blue Rose Ninja sisters.
The other class was the Shaman Instructor class of Jie Luo Fighting Demon, the head of the Eight Fingers security department.
In the anime, there were two people who impressed Tang Zheng deeply.
One was Brain Fingernail Cutter, and the other was Jie Luo Fighting Demon.
These two were the only representatives who used low-level strength to unleash attacks far beyond their own level, except that Brain Fingernail Cutter relied on his Innate Ability.
And Jie Luo Fighting Demon relied on his class abilities!
...
At this moment.
Inside the manor, the rich aroma of wine permeated the air.
The soft light emitted by the crystal chandelier illuminated the entire hall, and the rectangular dining table was filled with various delicacies and exquisite tableware.
But there were only six people in the entire hall.
Mamvest Thousand Kill.
The "Undead King" Divanok.
The "Phantom Demon" Shakyuronto.
The "Blood Moon Scimitar" Edesterien.
The "Space Slash" Peshrian.
The "Fighting Demon" Jie Luo.
These six, known as Six Arms, are the strongest within the Vigilance Department, even among Eight Fingers, each possessing the strength of an Adamantite Rank Adventurer.
