From Knight Conan's point of view, this might just be a random decision made by the city lord because of the pain of losing his son, but when he was invited to the city lord's mansion, Knight Conan no longer thought so.

"What's this?"

Looking at the elegant letter in front of him, Knight Conan was obviously a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him, then lowered his head and read the letter again.

"This was found in my poor boy's pocket."

The old man's face was quite haggard, giving the impression that he had aged ten years overnight. After receiving a signal from the other party, Knight Conan reached out his hand, picked up the letter, opened it, and then read it. But

Soon, Knight Conan's expression began to look weird and strange, and even contained a bit of anger. But even so, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and only looked at it again after reading the letter.

elder.

"Excuse me, what is this letter saying..."

“…………It should be, it’s all true.”

The old man also lowered his head deeply at this moment, showing an expression of repentance. Knight Conan's face also turned red and white, and he didn't know what to say.

What was recorded in this letter was nothing else but a series of atrocities committed by the son of the previously deceased city lord, including but not limited to violence against women, beating and injuring civilians, and even raping peasant girls for the sake of beauty.

, after getting it, he felt bored and feared that she would cause trouble, so he sent his men to kill the other party's whole family, and even pretended it was a fire accident.

To be honest, it was only two days ago that Knight Conan returned here to become the Sheriff. However, he also knew about several of the incidents, but because he had just come here, he had not had time to investigate. Now it seems that... someone has already

Even the beginning and end were taken care of by myself.

This bastard fell to death so easily! If caught by the temple, it would at least be a public execution!

"What does this letter mean?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Knight Conan also looked at the old man. He did not believe that the city lord called him here to confess his son's crimes.

"Let me explain."

At this moment, standing behind the old man, a man dressed as a butler took over the conversation.

"This is a 'death verdict'."

"……………I do not quite understand you."

"Knight Conan has just come here, maybe you don't know yet."

The butler bowed slightly to Knight Conan and then spoke.

"In fact, in recent times, a mysterious assassin nicknamed 'The God of Death' has appeared in this area. No one knows who he is, and no one knows whether he really exists. They only know that every time he comes next

After entrustment, the entrusted target will die due to an 'accident' in just a few days, and letters recording the crimes of these people will be left around them. It is as if they are being judged for their sins... So

We also call it the 'death verdict'."

"So, this is really an assassination?"

Conan Knight feels completely incredible.

"Is it the influence of some kind of magic? Or we can find a prophecy mage..."

"It's useless. We have invited a prophecy mage and even used time regression, but we can't find any clues... This is natural. After all, we don't even know whether the other party is a human or a ghost."

Speaking of this, the housekeeper also showed a self-deprecating smile.

"It's not magic, and you didn't do it yourself?"

Conan Knight feels even more incredible.

"Can this be called assassination?"

"But in fact, the other party accepted the commission every time, and after the target's 'accidental' death, the commission letter will also appear in a completed state. In other words, this is indeed an 'assassination'."

"So what you mean is..."

"I hope Knight Conan can ask the Temple to intervene and find the assassin."

The old man raised his head and stared at Knight Conan.

"I know that my son has done something unforgivable. If he is caught by the temple and even beheaded, I can accept it. However, I cannot accept that my child is killed by a despicable assassin!

I hope the temple can help me find the murderer and punish him!"

"this……………"

Looking at the angry old man in front of him, Knight Conan didn't know what to say for a moment. For some reason, looking at the old man in front of him, he suddenly thought of Knight Commander Brand... This may be the doting of parents on their children.

?Knight Conan is not married yet, let alone has children, so he cannot understand it yet. In fact, when he saw Knight Captain Brand brandishing his sword to resist in the temple for his daughter, Knight Conan already felt that

It's hard to understand what the other person is thinking.

And now......

"Sorry, Lord City Lord, I have retired now. I will inform the temple about what you said, but I am not sure how the temple will react."

"Thank you, Knight Conan, but I will not let go of the murderer of my child."

"…………"

Hearing the old city lord's answer, Knight Conan didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only stand up silently, saluted the old man in front of him, and then left.

"...Sir, do we really want to report this matter to the temple?"

After leaving the city lord's palace, Conan's attendant hurriedly walked to his side and asked in a low voice. Faced with the inquiry from his attendant, Knight Conan was silent for a long time, and then he suddenly turned his head and looked at the attendant beside him.

"Bart, I remember...you are already married."

"Ah, yes, my lord."

Hearing Knight Conan's confused question, the attendant was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly.

"Have children?"

"There is a... mischievous guy who doesn't like to learn swordsmanship all day long. He just wants to go out on adventures. I really can't do anything with him... ugh..."

"Then do you think what the city lord did is right or wrong?"

"this……………"

Hearing this, the follower was stunned for a while, and after a while, he answered with a complicated expression.

"Well... to be honest, sir, the son of the city lord is not a good person. Frankly speaking, I am relieved to know that he died. But... I am not completely unable to understand the city lord, after all.

That was his only son..."

"Really………"

Knight Conan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Follow the normal procedures to declare. At least this is our responsibility."

"Yes, sir."

While the entire city of Korhal was in commotion, the initiator of all this had already left this land of right and wrong far away.

"It's not challenging, but at least the reward is good."

Counting the platinum coins in his wallet, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, all the so-called "death murders" in this area these days are his handiwork.

What Fang Zheng used was "Killer 47", one of the two bronze soul stones he had extracted before.

In fact, Founder has always believed that compared to Assassin's Creed, Killer 47 is the real killer. Although many people like to read things like "Where in life do you have so much time for you to sneak in, if you want to assassinate, you are unparalleled". But

This can only be used in the world of Assassin's Creed. In the main world, Assassin's Creed is completely meaningless.

Wushuang? The noble mansions here are full of magic traps and alarms. If you are Wushuang, you will be surrounded in thirty seconds. And even if you Wushuang kill someone, what will happen? There are many ways for mages to find your traces.

When the time comes, it will be just a matter of time before people from all over the world are chasing you. Unless you have some props or artifacts that can hide your identity, you think assassination is so easy.

Things like serial murders only have a market in detective novels. In reality, if you grab a DNA test and compare it, who cares whether you want to talk about it or not.

The reason why Fang Zheng chose Killer 47 was naturally because of his two buff specialties [Always-Changing] and [Making the Most of Everything].

[Alien-changing] allows Fang Zheng to perfectly simulate everyone, just like Killer 47 in the game can come in and out with various identities after changing clothes. [Alien-changing] is a specialty that allows Fang Zheng to perfectly disguise himself into various identities.

Then launch the infiltration operation.

[Making the best use of everything] is Killer 47’s exclusive assassination style. With this expertise, Fang Zheng can analyze the usage of all the props and equipment in front of him as quickly as possible after entering the assassination site, and use this to create

Trap, luring the other party to take the bait. Just like the previous assassination of the city lord's son, Fang Zheng didn't do it at all. He just pretended to be a cleaner, mopped the area a little bit clean, and then took advantage of others not paying attention.

The pillars on the railing were quietly removed.

Did he kill someone? No. He just used future vision to confirm where the city lord's son would go next, so he mopped the floor there - is it illegal for me to mop the floor?

As for the high-level mage, it was even easier for Fang Zheng - the little angel Nimfu could control all spells, so he didn't even need to take action. He just found a place and let the little angel Nimfu cast spells while the opponent was there.

Just invade when the time comes and seize control, and finally just let the magic run wild.

With these two abilities, plus the magical assistance of future vision and little angels, Fang Zheng was able to assassinate others easily under any circumstances as if he were in a deserted place.

And the reason is very simple, he needs money.

Although Fang Zheng still has the five thousand gold coins in his hand that the temple rewarded him before, the money is far from enough for Fang Zheng. Of course, if he just eats haise and makes salted fish, then the money in Fang Zheng's hand is enough to make him live.

Live a good life. But for Fang Zheng, the meaning of his life is obviously not to be a salted fish.

The most important thing is that the money in Founder's hands cannot be used to recharge the system.

This is the point.

No matter how much money Founder gets in the Iron-Blooded World, it means nothing if he cannot spend it in the system. Therefore, Founder needs to convert the money into something that can be used to recharge, that is, spiritual crystals.

But this is not an easy task.

Like Founder's world, although the mineral Spirit Crystal is not classified as a "strategic resource", it is not something that ordinary people can buy at will. Especially large quantities of Spirit Crystal must be reviewed and reported by the official department.

.In the past, Fang Zheng's identity would naturally not have to worry about this little trouble, but now, he didn't want to be discovered by the temple, and he wanted to get a large amount of spiritual crystals, so he had to find another way.

According to the laws of the Kingdom of Holy Religion, those who are eligible to purchase spiritual crystals are only spellcasters and alchemists with formal "licenses", as well as legal organizations and individuals such as manufacturing departments that manufacture armor and weapons. Although Fang Zheng has currently mastered the five rings,

Spell, but because Rex did not report it to him, Fang Zheng is not even an apprentice at the moment. And naturally, the identity of Templar Knight can no longer be used... Otherwise, if the Temple comes to visit, then

It's just a trouble.
