Chapter 278 The Devil Walks Out of Hell (4)

Although he was only a lord of the lowest rank, he was still a noble after all. Normally, when facing people with higher titles than himself, he would nod and bow, and smile fawningly. When facing ordinary civilians, he would naturally show off his power.

Although it was impossible for them to treat human life as worthless as the real dignitaries like Butler, they never cared about the common people. At least they did many trivial things like not paying for meals.

But now, all the pride of being a noble has disappeared completely... Nonsense, even Grand Duke Egbert was killed, so what is the point of a mere lord like me?

At this moment, the thief's body, which had just recovered a little, began to tremble again.

He had no idea why he was so unlucky to meet these two demons from hell.

No, they are scarier than the demons in hell.

In the intermittent state, the thief even began to have a strange illusion before his eyes, as if countless people pounced on him, biting his body madly, and pulling pieces of bloody flesh from him.

That feeling is definitely more terrifying and more despairing than the guillotine, the stake, or the gallows.

No matter what, he absolutely did not want to end up like Butler. That was simply worse than death, and he had to experience the most cruel torture in the world before dying.

At that moment, the thief quickly pulled out a dagger and stabbed himself in the heart.

Clean and quick, without any delay.

At least, this way he could die a little more comfortably.

This scene scared Ron. What was going on?

Why did this man want to kill himself with a knife when he saw me? Is he that scary?

This thief came here with the complete intention of dying, but just when the dagger was about to pierce his heart, an inexplicable feeling suddenly appeared. The dagger, which was originally moving at a very fast speed, seemed to be entangled by chains in an instant, and its speed became abnormally slow.

Before the thief could figure out what was going on, Ron came over and patted the thief's shoulder. The next moment, the thief felt his arm go numb and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a click.

Although he survived, the thief's face became even paler.

It's over, it's over, it's over now.

I can't even die easily, I don't know how this devil in front of me will torture me.

He was just an errand boy for His Majesty the King. Although he was a noble, he had never bullied men or women like Butler did. At most, he just ate without paying. Did he have to endure the same cruel punishment as Butler?

"Brother, what are you doing?" Ron asked with a smile.

The thief opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound at all. It was as if his throat was blocked and made a rumbling sound.

This look made Ron feel a little helpless.

When he was in the crowd before, Ron had already noticed the presence of this thief, and his eyes were obviously different from those of the civilians around him.

He suspected that this was a spy arranged by Holt to search for him and Agnes in the city, but now Ron was a little doubtful of his speculation. After all, Holt was the king of a country. He shouldn't have hired someone who couldn't even speak properly as a spy, right? "Well, let me ask, were you arranged by Holt?" Ron raised his eyebrows and asked.

The thief's throat moved, but he still couldn't speak normally. He could only nod vigorously.

It's over. Granville has really fallen into such a state. Look, this is the person arranged by the king. Is that it?

Talent is fading.

"Looking for us?" Ron asked again, pointing at Agnes beside him.

The thief nodded again.

He was worried that after asking the thief clearly, he might take action. However, in front of Ron, the thief didn't even have the courage to lie or conceal anything.

"Oh, that's great. Please deliver this letter to Holt the 474th." Ron nodded, took out a letter that he had prepared long ago, handed it to the thief, and then left.

It was not until Ron and Agnes were completely far away and even their backs could no longer be seen that the thief's tense body suddenly softened, and then he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

In just that short period of time, his entire body was completely soaked with sweat, and at this moment, he felt sticky and uncomfortable.

His eyes were filled with excitement of escaping death.

He had already prepared himself to die, and he never thought that he would have a chance to survive.

Until this moment, he finally felt how precious life is.

It’s great to be alive.

He lowered his head and looked silently at the envelope in his palm. The envelope was wet with the sweat from his palm.

There was even a gold coin on the envelope... The thief's mouth twitched. What was this? Was it the errand fee paid by this gentleman? He really had... principles! After several seconds, the thief finally reacted, quickly put the envelope in his arms, struggled to get up from the ground, and then rushed towards the palace like crazy.

In the study of the palace, Apu and Holt were sitting on either side of the table, both of them looked unhappy. Just now, they had received the news that Adams Simon and 564 thieves were all killed.

The five hundred and sixty-four thieves were quite powerful, including some hero-level players among them, but for anyone with a high-star level like them, it would not be too difficult to slaughter these five hundred and sixty-four people.

But what is really weird is that there was an official road in the middle, but the deaths of these people did not alarm the people passing by on the official road at all.

In other words, all of these people were killed instantly, and they didn't even have time to let out a scream before they died.

This is something that even Apu and Holt could not do personally.

The most terrifying thing is that all of these 564 thieves died from having their throats pierced. The locations of the wounds were all exactly the same. Moreover, judging from the degree of blood coagulation on the corpses, the time of their deaths was very short.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

These thieves were arranged in a long snake formation, with a very short distance between each two thieves, so that they could take care of each other.

If a thief is attacked, the thieves on both sides of him can immediately notice it and then send a signal.

But, there is absolutely no signal.

Coupled with the bizarre way of death, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn, that is, all these people were killed instantly at the same time.

This is terrifying.

They are arranged in a long snake formation, how far is the distance?

Advanced forbidden spell?

But why didn't I notice any movement?

They have been thinking about it since they received the news, but they still can't figure out what kind of power can cause such an exaggerated effect.

"It seems that we all underestimated the prophet." A long silence was broken by Apu's voice.

Holt's expression became even more gloomy.

That’s right, this thing could only have been done by the prophet Ron.

Only a prophet could know the location of the five hundred and sixty-four thieves.

In other words, Ron and Agnes may have already entered the royal city, which is definitely not good news for them.

Apu didn't want to be cuckolded, but he had to admit that for Ron, the best option now was to enter the royal city, then enter the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, and take Christian with him.

Given their relationship, Christian would definitely be willing to help. Apu and Holt were beginning to regret using this tactic to deal with Ron. If Christian showed up, their original preparations would probably not be enough to deal with him.

When he thought of this, Apu felt angry again.

Damn it, why should we treat each other like this?

I was just having fun with my first love at my wedding banquet, but my quail eggs were stepped on and burst.

Christian, this bitch, clearly doesn't allow himself to have other women, but why does Christian take the initiative to throw himself into the arms of Ron, who already has so many women?

This is shameless double standard.

Shameless thing.
