Chapter 73 "Is it too late to go to Ansu now?"

Before daybreak, Alice had already set out with her team.

Today they are going to visit the Earl of the nearby town. The Earl has a 30-man second-level guard under his command. If they can get his help, the chances of eradicating the Cult of Pain will be much greater.

We rode in a horse-drawn carriage to the pale green plain outside the town of Setian. The cold and steep autumn wind filled the clothes of every teammate, and the pale white sky slowly rose from the horizon.

First they passed the sentry post, went up the hillside, passed the inspection of several rude soldiers, and paid a few gold coins before they saw the count's fortress.

After asking the maid to inform, there was a long wait in the hall.

Alice thought it would be easy to ask for help this time.

It's easy and natural.

But to Alice's surprise and dismay, they waited in the hall for a full hour but still did not see the count.

He is just an earl in a remote area.

What a show.

As a noble of the imperial capital, Alice had never been treated so coldly; wherever she went, she was treated with courtesy.

Although she is not as talented and arrogant as her cousin, Alice still has the pampered temperament of an aristocrat.

But thinking that her current identity was only the Viscount of Count Setian, she had no choice but to endure this indifference.

As long as we can ask the army for help, we will be patient for the time being.

She must get the first place in the exam this time and give that border man named Ansu Morningstar a good slap in the face.

What Alice couldn't stand the most was that she had always loved her cousin Ashley, but she would be conquered by this border man.

Before the exam, she told her, "If you meet Ansu, you can just choose to surrender. I won't blame you."

What's so great about a lowly border man who uses some tricks? Where has the pride of the imperial nobles gone?

These guys didn't even pass the personality certification test, they were just losers who lost to the esoteric cult.

It's really infuriating to be stepped on by such a guy.

But now everything is about to change.

Alice had a faint smile on her lips. With her negotiation skills acquired from years of mingling in the aristocratic circles, she would be able to get reinforcements as quickly as possible, and even the first kill would be her credit.

And those people on the border could only look at her with envy.

"Miss Alice, the Earl doesn't seem to have come out yet. Do you think this will help?"

After waiting for a long time, an alchemist couldn't help but speak.

They set out early in the morning and walked on the mountain road for two hours in the cold wind. They were already very sleepy, cold and hungry. Seeing that the count had not come out for a long time, they could not help but complain.

"Mr. John Sis, I remember that your father was also a Viscount of Remote Area, right? That's true."

Alice raised her beautiful eyes gracefully and opened her red lips slightly.

"You have to know that with the social skills and eloquence of the upper class nobles, even the army can be persuaded to come."

Alice's sharp tongue also has some of the flavor of Ai Shirley. She said elegantly:

"For a noble of the earl level, time is the most worthless thing. If you are dissatisfied, you can follow Mr. Ansu on your border."

"Ah, I forgot. It seems that they didn't even enter Naraku."

As soon as she said this, she was echoed by several supporters.

At this moment,

Ashley had just finished speaking.

The ethereal and clear voice of the Astral Messenger sounded: [First Kill]

When they heard the first sentence, all the saints were shocked and their sleepiness disappeared instantly.

They all suspected that they had heard it wrong.

First kill?

They have only been in the Naraku world for less than a week, how come the first kill happened so soon?

Was it done by the Quasi-Level 3 Knight, His Majesty Rosen?

But according to the original plan, His Majesty Rosen should have recruited soldiers in Setian Town. Who did that?

Which saint, which team, is faster than His Majesty Rosen?

They looked at each other, you looked at me and I looked at you, and only saw confusion in each other's eyes.

[Painful Snake, Captain of the Second Squad, Second-Level Warlock, Ashur. Xius gives up his qualification]

There was another uproar.

They didn't know what the Serpent of Pain was, but the word "captain" was quite meaningful.

The captain, also known as the sergeant-general in the Cult of Pain, is the elite among the elites.

Several teams of the Alchemy Church can't even get into the door of the cult's stronghold, and one team even killed its sergeant captain.

Everyone was curious about the identity of the killer.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Alice's expression was also very subtle. She widened her eyes and listened attentively, wanting to know who had snatched her first kill.

Was it Shana from the Druid Church? Or? Several possible names flashed through her mind, but when she heard the next words of the Astral Messenger, Alice felt that the world was absurd and weird, and even wondered if she was still awake.

[Contributors: Ansu Morningstar (50%), Liszt Moon (40%), Arthur Sonny (10%)]

[Due to the first kill bonus, Ansu gets five points, Lister four points, and Arthur one point]

"Uh huh?"

Alice was too confused to speak. She tilted her head and blinked. The words ringing in her ears were clearly words she could understand, but when put together, they formed a sentence that was completely beyond her comprehension.

"Ansu?"

"Is it that Ansu Morningstar? And the two people at the border?"

“How did he do that?”

The saints were also stunned and confused. Noises rose and fell. They kept asking their companions for confirmation, and everyone suspected that they had heard wrongly.

According to what Rosen and Alice said, weren't the three border groups eliminated from the beginning? Did they collectively win the resurrection match? Even if they won, how did they manage to assassinate silently? The management of the Pain Cult is so strict and perfect that they have not been able to take a step inside for a whole week. What kind of superb method is it to assassinate a second-level cultist? Social assassination is the most silent assassination.

No, they finally realized what was going on.

According to the Astral Messenger, the sergeant chose to withdraw voluntarily.

That can only be suicide.

Although it was suicide, it was judged as a contribution to the three border areas.

Could it be that they were so terrifying and powerful that they frightened the Painful Mystics into committing suicide? Some saints skipped over this unrealistic thought.

The one who couldn't accept it the most was Alice.

She felt her face burning red, "How is that possible?"

What made Alice most unhappy was,

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked into the hall. He bowed first, then said slowly:

"Dear Viscount, you are making too much noise. It is unbecoming of aristocrats. Please go back."

Because they were shocked by Ansu's first kill, their discussion was so loud that it disturbed the count, who thought they were all rude people and ordered them to leave.

Was driven away.

Alice finally understood a little bit of her cousin's feelings.

What the hell is this? "With the social skills and eloquence of a low-class noble, even the captain of soldiers can be persuaded to death."

Saint John, who was just mocked by her, clapped his hands and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. —— "Is it too late for me to go to Ansu now?"
