Chapter 493 Treasure!
In fact, the person in front of Gervis was not Bernard, but the thief Zel.
He used a unique method to change his face. He came today to complete the task assigned to him by Longfellow and make Gervis disappear from this continent forever.
The original plan was not for him to kill Gervis himself, but to use the teleportation scroll given to him by the Holy Church to make Gervis disappear.
However, after Zel entered the room and saw Gervis, he discovered that Gervis only had the cultivation level of a Silver Knight.
Thinking of Longfellow's injury, Zel had other ideas. He wondered if Gervis' strength was also greatly reduced due to his serious injury.
If Gervis's strength was really greatly reduced, then he could use force to complete the assassination, which would save him a teleportation scroll, and then he could give it to Longfellow, which would be a great favor.
He knew that if Longfellow wanted to return to the Holy Continent, he would have to use the teleportation scroll.
Although the Temple promised Longfellow that it would allow him to return as long as he captured the island, the teleportation scroll was extremely precious and he would probably have to wait for a long time to get it.
If I had saved this scroll and given it to Longfellow...
The more Zel thought about it, the more he felt that the risk was worth taking.
Although Longfellow is still weak now, he is the head of a hall after all and has made great contributions. His future development will definitely not be low.
And even if his attack missed, it would not be too late to use the teleportation scroll to deal with Gervis.
…
Seeing the dagger in his hand getting closer and closer to Gervis' heart, Zel put on a smile.
As long as he kills Gervis, his career will be on the rise in no time, and he can even call himself a thief who killed the White Flag Knight.
bite!
But, the next moment, Zel's smile stopped abruptly. He felt his arm shake, and the dagger in his hand hit something hard and could no longer move forward.
Zel's pupils contracted and his eyes quickly looked towards the dagger, only to see a round piece of iron under Gervis' clothes.
"Well, are you disappointed? This is a breastplate forged from mithril, specially prepared for assassins like you!"
Gervis had a playful smile on his face.
His fighting spirit has not recovered yet, and there are many spies of the church in the city, so Gervis had already asked Bernard to make a mithril heart shield for him just in case.
I didn't expect it would come in handy now.
And Gervis had already noticed the difference of this 'Bernard'.
Although the real Bernard was very respectful to him, he never knelt down to salute him from beginning to end, including when he came to the palace a few days ago.
To outsiders, Bernard was just a civilian blacksmith of low status.
But Gervis knew that Bernard, with his surname of Hammer, was a true nobleman, even though he had fled his own castle due to persecution by the church.
But the status of a noble is an unchangeable fact, so Gervis certainly would not let Bernard kneel down to him, and Bernard himself would do the same.
But this 'Bernard' knelt down to him as soon as he entered the room, and Gervis was already on guard at that time, even though his appearance and tone of voice were disguised perfectly.
"Go to hell!"
The attack was thwarted, and Zel was shocked to hear Gervis' words.
He pretended to quickly move the dagger and wanted to stab out another sword, but he was actually preparing to retreat violently and then use the teleportation scroll to deal with Gervis.
However, just as he took action to step back, he suddenly saw a red light in front of him and saw a huge fireball appear in the palm of Gervis's hand.
Facing the fireball so close and feeling the scorching burning sensation, Zel regretted it!
He regretted that he was too greedy!
boom!
Human actions are naturally not as fast as thoughts. Just as Zel was about to pull back, the fireball in Gervis's hand hit his chest.
Although Zel's disguise skills were amazing, his strength was only that of a Silver Knight. After being hit in the chest by Gervis' fireball, he let out a scream and was blown away.
"Your Majesty? What happened in there?"
Such a loud commotion naturally made the royal guards and other guards outside realize that something was wrong.
They immediately asked anxiously through the door, and if Gervis didn't answer immediately, they would rush in without hesitation.
"I'm fine!"
Seeing the guy who tried to assassinate him lying on the ground half-dead, Gervis knew that this man was no longer a threat, so he did not let Ike and others in immediately.
Instead, he planned to explore the secrets of this person first.
There was no fluctuation of fighting spirit on this person when he came in, but the moment he attacked him, he burst out with the cultivation of a Silver Knight.
This was the same type of secret technique as the "Stealth Technique 2" that he was practicing, maybe even the same type.
More importantly, Gervis was very interested in his ability to disguise himself.
Gervis came in front of Zel, and without saying a word, he stepped on both of Zel's palm bones and broke them.
After doing everything, he looked down and asked, "Assassin, tell me, what is your name?"
Gervis studied Zell's face with interest.
However, as a member of the temple and a thief, Zel is naturally very tight-lipped.
After falling to the ground, Gervis crushed his hands without even a groan, and naturally turned a deaf ear to Gervis' questions.
"He's a tough nut to crack!"
Gervis raised his eyebrows. He could see that Zel was definitely a difficult guy and there was not much hope of getting him to speak.
But Gervis still wanted to give it a try, so he paused and continued.
"I noticed that you didn't have any fighting spirit fluctuations when you came in just now. Did you practice the "Secret Technique of Stealth II"? "
Gervis decided to try everything to see if the assassin had practiced the same secret technique as himself.
"How do you know?"
The next moment, Zel's reaction did not disappoint Gervis. When he heard the words "Stealth Technique 2", Zel, who had been silent, looked at Gervis with astonishment in his eyes.
"Have you seen that traitor, Begis?"
"You need to understand the current situation and know who should be asked!"
Gervis didn't know who Beggis was, but he didn't show it.
"Then tell me your name first! Maybe I'll be so kind as to answer a few questions for you later!"
"My name is Zell, and I'm a professional thief. Is Begis still alive? Let me meet him! He's the only one who knows the Secret Techniques of Stealth II besides me! Tell me, is Begis still alive?"
"Sure enough, you are practicing the same secret technique as me!"
When Gervis heard Zell's answer, his thoughts were confirmed.
But he was relieved soon. It was impossible for a secret technique like "Stealth Technique 2" to be created in this backward continent.
And the Hammer Family must have obtained it from a man named Begis.
"I don't know the Begis you mentioned, and I got the "Secrets of Stealth II" from somewhere else! Are there other volumes of this secret of stealth? If you are willing to give it to me, I can give you a quick death!"
Seeing him speak, Gervis took the opportunity to ask.
“…”
Unfortunately, Zel remained silent again!
.
"How did you get your disguise skills?"
“…”
No matter how Gervis asked, Zel did not speak again.
Even though Gervis stepped hard on his charred chest, Zel remained silent.
"Damn it, since you won't tell me, I'll do it myself!"
Gervis was not going to delay and planned to search him first. If there was nothing found, he would take him to the dungeon and give him a good beating to see how hard his bones were.
Thinking of this, Gervis reached out and touched Zel's face. When he touched Zel's face, the feeling was no different from ordinary skin.
"Hmm? Could it be that I was wrong? Did he really use some special secret technique to change his appearance? Isn't this too scary?"
Thinking in his mind, Gervis used great strength to rub Zel's face and the edges of his face. With such force, even the hair of animals would be rubbed off by him. However, Gervis naturally did not care about Zel's feelings.
“Huh!”
Suddenly, after Gervis had been rubbing for more than a minute and was about to give up, he suddenly noticed something wrong under Zel's ear.
Gervis' eyes lit up, and a slight wrinkle appeared there.
So Gervis immediately pulled hard, and with a loud bang, a human skin mask was torn off Zel's face.
And only at this moment did Zel reveal his original ordinary appearance.
This is not over yet. When Gervis withdrew his gaze from Zel's face and focused his eyes on his hands, he was shocked.
As the mask was torn off Zel's face, it began to change. The mask, which was originally skin-colored, gradually became transparent.
Just over ten seconds later, the mask in Gervis's hand turned into a soft, thin and transparent film.
"nice one!"
Although he didn't know how to use it yet, after seeing its magical changes, Gervis knew that it was an extraordinary treasure.
