Chapter 374
Carol's body was trembling, as if an electric current was passing through her body. The tingling and numb feeling made her body become hot involuntarily. There seemed to be a cluster of flames looming, spreading from her lower abdomen to her whole body.
A pair of long legs were subconsciously twisted together.
He was obviously an assassin with quite strong abilities, but at this moment he couldn't even maintain his posture. He staggered all the way until he stopped in front of a lamppost, holding the lamppost with one hand, his body bent and gasping for breath.
Recalling the scenes she had just experienced, the blush on her little face became even more charming.
After an unknown amount of time, Carol finally felt better. Suddenly, her ears started to itch. She pressed her cochlea with one finger, and a familiar voice came over immediately:
"How's the situation?" The voice was old and dry, like two dry pieces of wood rubbing together, extremely unpleasant.
Carol's throat moved slightly, as if she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She relied on her willpower to suppress the urge to moan: "Well... Reporting to the High Priest, there was a little surprise. The target's strength is even stronger than recorded in the intelligence. I tried to assassinate him, but failed..."
"Are you hurt?"
"It's just a minor injury." Carol pursed her lips and responded to the voice in the message. She rubbed the injured area with one hand. She was a little dissatisfied. The burning and numbing feeling was gradually dissipating.
Damn, the legendary cultivator's physical recovery ability is just too good.
After a brief pause, Carol spoke again: "High Priest, please give me another chance. Next time I will definitely kill him and will never let him live any longer."
“…”
There was silence on the other end of the message.
Carol didn't say anything else, just waited quietly.
Sure enough, after nearly half a minute, the voice sounded again, but compared to the previous voice, it was even more sinister and cruel: "In that case, I will give you one more chance. Within a month, I want to see that person's head."
"If you fail, you know the consequences."
The gloomy voice gradually faded from Carol's ears.
This elf, who had a twisted personality and would rather die than surrender when facing Ron, shuddered at this moment, and an indescribable fear appeared on her pretty face.
She was a subordinate of the high priest, and she knew best how vicious the high priest's methods were.
If she fails to take Ron's life within a month, she might really become a nest of thugs.
Thinking about those sisters who became the mother nest, that kind of picture, that kind of feeling... Carol's forehead was covered with sweat, and her whole body was cold.
It seems that I have to act sooner rather than later, as the high priest will not give me a third chance.
Carol let out a long breath and headed off into the distance.
Just ahead, a beautiful woman happened to be walking towards me.
She was a very beautiful woman, with long golden hair that shone brightly like a waterfall. Although her face looked a little haggard, it could not conceal the confidence and pride of being a superior.
Dolores.
Granville's current queen.
This woman does have some abilities, but they have little to do with me.
Although this woman was on the high priest's list of people to be killed, it was not his responsibility, so there was no need to cause trouble for himself.
That list was called the Death Note within the Church of the Mother of All Things. Every name on the list was a person who was doomed to die. There were thousands of people on the list, including kings and lords from more than a hundred countries in the entire Dusk Continent, as well as important high-ranking officials from various churches, and even talented people like Ron.
No one knows what the high priest wants to do, and no one dares to ask. Within the church, the high priest's orders are absolute. Even the so-called Pope, the Great Saint, the Son of God, and the Saint are nothing more than puppets.
But the only thing that can be confirmed is that once all the people on the list die... no, even if only one third of them die, the entire Dusk Continent will inevitably fall into chaos and turmoil.
This woman is quite arrogant. She is already the queen, and she doesn't know how many nobles are staring at her and want her life. She dares to show up in front of him so brazenly. Is she really not afraid of assassination? She muttered in her heart and moved her eyes away from Dolores. Only at the last moment, she accidentally saw Dolores' chest. Carol's mood, which was not very good to begin with, immediately became worse.
Damn, it’s so much bigger than us.
Dolores couldn't help but glance at Carol out of the corner of her eye.
However, the thoughts in my heart are completely different.
She felt that this female elf had some kind of mental illness. Why did she wear a tight nightgown in broad daylight? She was afraid that she might cause trouble, right? If she hadn't had other things to deal with today, the guards around her would have been arranged in the surrounding areas and not followed her. They would have wanted to catch this woman and investigate what was going on.
Shaking her head, Dolores no longer paid attention to this woman who might have a problem with her brain, and walked straight towards the hotel.
As the queen, it is not difficult to know where Ron lives now.
The staff in the hotel naturally recognized Her Majesty the Queen's identity. Although Dolores is only the acting queen in name now, as long as Holt 474 returns, the power will be returned.
It can even be said that even if only those two useless brothers came back, there might be some wrangling over the succession to the throne.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Of course, this is only a superficial possibility. In fact, Dolores' popularity is by no means comparable to that of Holt 474 and his two useless brothers. Rather, it is a serious problem whether they can get close to the palace. As soon as they show their heads, they may encounter an out-of-control carriage, and then have an accident and die tragically on the streets.
Given Dolores' kind and benevolent character, she would certainly not mind preparing a grand funeral for them.
…
Noble district.
This is still a place where only nobles can live.
Although Dolores improved the status of civilians, increased their rights, and reduced their taxes, she did not immediately break down the barriers between nobles and civilians, and some of the nobles' preferential treatment and privileges were not completely abolished.
It’s not that Dolores is unwilling, but she knows very well that one has to take one step at a time... although, for practitioners of their level, the flying speed might be a little faster.
Of course, even so, the aristocratic district has long lost its former prosperity.
In the past, whether it was day or night, the aristocratic district was bustling with people and cars on the streets. Countless young masters and young ladies in gorgeous dresses gathered in groups of three or five, showing off their aristocratic dignity.
But now, the wide streets are deserted.
Even though the sun was scorching overhead, there were still waves of chilliness.
When a gust of wind blows, it can only blow up the fallen leaves on the ground that no one has cleaned up.
In Adams, there are more than 8,000 nobles of all sizes, and now nearly one-tenth of the noble area is vacant. Instead, there are many lonely graves in the mass graves outside the city that no one worships.
“Bang!”
A teacup smashed heavily to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Damn it, that bitch Dolores, are we really going to kill her all?" A young man roared angrily like a mad wild dog.
Chapter 5 will be available later.
