And the black figure that appeared out of thin air was none other than the demi-lich Xia En VII himself.

After killing two members of the "Eight Elites of Tethyr" adventure group, he gently hooked his fingers, and a pin suddenly flew out from the elf's bones.

After a brief inspection, Shane VII sneered and mocked: "It is indeed an assassin from the Harper Alliance. It seems that Soth is right. Elminster and his followers can only hide this.

It’s all about light.”

"The Harper's Assassin?!"

Wicks Targett's pupils suddenly dilated, obviously he had heard about the achievements of these lawless guys.

"Well! From now on, you have to be careful. Not only must you take protective measures, but you must also never meet anyone alone." Xia En VII casually reminded.

"But...but why did they want to assassinate me? I didn't do anything evil!"

Wicks Targett was obviously frightened and asked incoherently.

Shane VII answered without thinking: "Because not long ago, your loyal master Soth had completely broken up with Elminster, the founder of the Harper Alliance. From now on, they will fight each other as enemies.

Endless."

"I don't understand! Aren't they all chosen by the goddess of magic? Why are they breaking up?"

Wicks Targett was obviously confused and could not understand the reason and logic at all.

"Who told you that believers and elects of the same God will definitely live in harmony?

They are opposed to each other for various reasons, and there is a lot of hatred.

With Soth's character tending to be lawful evil, it is only natural to have a tit-for-tat confrontation with Elminster, who is of the chaotic good camp.

I even wonder how he could have endured it for so long before falling out.

But don't worry too much, the Harper is not as scary as you think.

Later I will make you a magic equipment that can read and detect other people's thoughts.

When the time comes to wear it on your body, you can instantly identify who is the assassin sent by the Harpers."

When saying these words, Shane VII closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment.

You don't need to ask to know that he is devouring and digesting the two souls he just captured.

There is no doubt that this unsuccessful assassination operation did not originate from the instructions of the Harpers' senior leaders, but the unauthorized action of the elf Sylvanus.

For Harpers, as long as they think the time has come or that it is the right thing to do, they can choose to take action.

It is this unpredictability that makes people unable to guard against it, and has created the terrifying and glorious achievements of the Harper Assassin.

But this time, what they will face is the methods of the Undead Emperor Xia En VII. No matter how many come, they will eventually die.

In addition, this unsuccessful assassination also gave Count Wicks Targett a perfect excuse for war.

Anyway, no matter what the other party's true identity is, he directly slapped the head of the Zhazesibo Noble Council, and he who was still a little lacking in confidence instantly became righteous.

What's even worse is that the "Tessel Eight" adventure team, which was originally a guest of honor, immediately turned into a street rat that everyone yelled at.

Especially after the noble council learned of the situation, they immediately ordered the arrest of the remaining members of the adventure group throughout the city, making it clear that they wanted to use the latter's head to appease the anger of Earl Wix Target.

.

In desperation, Hared III, Marilyn and others could only flee the city overnight.

Just when they were about to head inland to continue calling on the nobles to resist, they suddenly discovered that under the midnight moonlight, they could vaguely see a person standing in the middle of the road not far away.

Before Marilyn could ask, the mysterious man hidden in a cloak slowly raised his head.

Instantly!

Everyone present saw the terrifying light shining in those eyes.

"Hello, members of the Tethyr Eight Adventure Team. Maybe you don't know me, but that doesn't matter, you are going to die soon anyway."

As he spoke, the mysterious man took off his hood, revealing a young face with black hair and black eyes. It was none other than Zuo Si himself, who had come all the way from Amn to eradicate the evil.

Because he clearly remembered that without his own intervention, it was the members of this adventurous team who finally succeeded in pulling the Kingdom of Tethyr out of the civil war through a series of means.

Among them, Hared III seems to have married the current queen and became the supreme ruler, while Marilyn became the wife of Duke Dorian Harreston and was also a diplomatic ambassador with arbitrary decision-making power.

Since Elminster intends to use the power of this group of people to fight against him, Zuo Si will not hesitate to drive them all away and kill them all.

"Are you here to kill us?"

Marilyn quickly pulled out her sword and raised her shield, assuming a defensive posture.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. You have hindered Xian VII's plan to conquer Tethyr, and you have also hindered my plan to establish a west coast empire, so I have to ask you to die here to avoid causing too many unnecessary consequences.

of civilian casualties."

"Damn! He is Soth!"

Harid III obviously recognized the young man standing in front of him and loudly reminded his teammates around him.

"What?!"

Marilyn was stunned for a moment.

Just when she was about to say something, a green light instantly shot out from Zuo Si's fingertips, accurately hitting the shoulder that was not covered by the shield.

In an instant, this woman with a high level of warrior turned into a pile of green powder and dust.

Even people who don’t know much about arcane magic can easily recognize that this is a six-ring dissociation spell.

Once you fail to resist, it will disappear in a matter of minutes, and not even the entity will be left.

"Asshole! He actually killed Marilyn!"

A muscular man with short black hair immediately became extremely furious, his eyes became bloodshot, he drew his weapon and launched a charge.

Since the distance between the two sides was only a dozen meters, he came closer in the blink of an eye, using the explosive power brought by his anger to split Zuo Si in half directly from the middle.

In the opinion of several other people, if a mage is approached by a high-level warrior and has no protective magic, there is a high probability that he can be killed instantly.

But in less than a second, the cruel reality shattered all their delusions.

I saw Zuo Si raising his iron-gloved left hand at an incredible speed and steadily catching the opponent's powerful chop without even moving his upper body.

"You think you can just rush over and kill me to avenge your dead teammates? How naive! In fact, my attainments in swordsmanship are much better than all of you put together."

As these words blurted out, a dazzling cold light suddenly flashed in the air.

Pfft!

The man who took the initiative to attack did not see anything clearly. He found in disbelief that his body had been cut off at the waist, and the part below the buttocks fell to the ground with a bang. A large amount of blood and intestines spurted out along the wound, and the body was tightly cut.

As severe pain surged into his brain, he couldn't help but let out a painful wail.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Considering that I still have a lot of things to do and am in a hurry, I will let you die happily today. Remember to be grateful. After all, I have not tortured anyone, nor have I imprisoned your souls."<

/p>

With that said, Zuo Si smashed the guy's head with one punch, ending the other person's painful struggle.

When Harid III saw this extremely bloody scene, his already somewhat shaken psychological defense collapsed instantly, and he immediately started to turn around and run wildly. At the same time, he loudly reminded the remaining teammates: "Run! Run! We have no chance of fighting head-on."

Any chance of winning!"

After his reminder, the other team members came to their senses and headed into the surrounding woods.

Unfortunately, before they could run very far, the eight heroes of Tethyr were called out one by one by incredibly powerful attack spells, and soon they were transformed into one after another, either mutilated or burned to black.

The broken corpse.

Hared III could even hear the screams coming from his companions behind him, but he did not dare to look back or stop at all, and just kept running.

He simply couldn't believe that such a terrifying enemy would personally hunt down the members of the adventure team.

The overwhelming magical power and melee combat skills displayed by Zuo Si made this man who had been a scribe of Elminster for a long time feel real despair for the first time.

Sad!

Fear!

Tremble!

Hared III now regrets being persuaded by Marilyn to return to Tethyr.

Because if he didn't come back, he wouldn't have encountered the huge crisis now, and the companions in the adventure team wouldn't have died.

I don’t know how long I ran...

Maybe it's a few minutes, maybe ten minutes or even half an hour.

In short, when Harid III felt that his lungs were about to explode, his muscles were sore and swollen indescribably, and he had no strength left in his body, he stumbled and fell to the grass, gasping for air.

.

Just when he thought he had successfully escaped, he suddenly saw a familiar face falling from the sky and commented with a smile: "Seven kilometers, you ran a full distance of seven kilometers in half an hour.

I have to say, as a spellcaster with poor physical strength, your strong will to survive is admirable.

But the question is, since you are so afraid of death, why did you come back to the Kingdom of Tethyr?
To be continued...
