Chapter 122 The Hidden Part II
puff!
[Flashing Dagger] easily pierced the back of the opponent, and the screams of the opponent before death were firmly muffled by Dean's palm. 【First release】
The white ball of light on the corpse floated out——
【xp+20】
The experience column was refreshed again, just as Dean expected, as his level increased, it began to decrease slightly; according to the original estimate, the knight-level servant in front of him should have at least 22-25 points The experience value is right; after all, the other party has already been baptized.
From the strength of the opponent's struggle after being pierced through the heart, Dean can confirm this guess.
However, this is what Dean had already expected.
After all, at the beginning, when his level reached lv5 and the system defaulted to the knight level, the experience he could gain was only 15-20.
Picking up the long sword and all metal objects from the opponent's waist, Dean dragged the opponent into the shadow of a house. After confirming that the body could not be seen clearly from the outside, Dean took the opponent's long sword and coins together. They were all placed on the opponent's body, just like when they were taken away before.
He didn't come to rob property.
What's more, it was only a few silver horns, and Dean would not like it.
However, Dean held the key on the other party's body.
After a little identification of the hole of the back door key, Dean confirmed one of the three keys in his hand and opened the back door—as for the remaining two keys?
One is the front door, and the other should be the courtyard where the carriage is parked not far away.
It fits the current situation very well.
Therefore, Dean didn't carry the bunch of keys with him, just hung them on the handle behind the door, and began to sneak in quietly.
This is an emerald-style building, with a total of two and a half floors. Apart from the kitchen, living room, and guest room on the first floor, the second floor should be the owner's bedroom and study, and the third floor is a semi-open-air balcony—— Even though the city of Vauban is close to the dense snowy forest, the owners of the house will only use it in summer, but most people still want to have such a balcony.
And gathering is a custom of Jadeite.
Chuld Defendi and the big man whom the other party met, of course, would not appear on the balcony during this season.
Even in summer, the other party will definitely choose a more secret place.
In the entire building, the study on the second floor is undoubtedly the most suitable.
However, this doesn't mean that Dean can go there directly - first, he has to make sure that there are no other people in the house.
Standing in the corridor on the first floor, Dean was leaning against the wall, as if he had merged into the shadow behind the door. If he didn't look closely, he couldn't see clearly whether there was a person standing there; what's more, In this house, it is impossible for anyone to watch Dean up close.
After all, there is no one on the first floor.
Dean has confirmed this fact after more than ten seconds.
Then, out of caution, I checked again, this time approaching the stairs on the second floor.
Compared with the silence on the first floor, the sound of footsteps going back and forth on the second floor is too conspicuous.
At least, in Dean's mind, the appearance of the other party pacing back and forth has already appeared.
As for the other party's identity?
The guards, the owner of this house, are all possible.
However, his function is to prevent someone from interrupting the conversation.
To put it simply, the opponent is still a guard.
Dean walked up the steps slowly, keeping himself silent, and then stopped at the intersection of the lower half and the upper half of the stairs.
Compared to the darkness before, this place is full of candlelight.
The light from the candles in the corridor on the second floor spilled down like this, shining on the upper half and the platform.
Dean was standing on one side of the platform that was shrouded in shadow, and the other side was covered by candlelight. Although the candlelight was already a little dim, and there were reflections of the stair railings mixed in, it looked very mixed, but Dean En still won't take the risk of rushing up.
His career as an assassin had already taught him patience.
Tread...tap...tap...
The footsteps above the head became more and more clear as they approached.
Dean silently calculated the opponent's steps——
On the left is the study and on the right is the master bedroom.
It takes about twelve steps for the other party to walk from the study on the left to the window at the end of the corridor on the right.
The first six steps are all on the left side of the study room, and only when the seventh and eighth steps are taken, you will cross the stairs and face the corridor on the right.
And at the eleventh step, the opponent will pause, and at the twelfth step, they will turn around.
Therefore, if you want to solve the opponent, if you step on the second floor, it is when the opponent takes the ninth or tenth step.
As for the reflections from the windows at the end of the corridor?
In the houses and buildings in the lower city, except for some shops that may have glass and crystal windows, the remaining windows are all made of wood.
Not wooden window frames, but solid wood, the kind that shuts out light once closed.
And this undoubtedly saved Dean the trouble.
After all, if there is a reflection from a glass window, his only chance is when the other person has just walked down the stairs and taken the ninth step.
But now, it's a little more relaxed.
Tread...
"Six, seven..."
Footsteps sounded again, and Dean counted silently in his heart, and when the opponent took the eighth step, Dean directly activated [Military Sword Art (Emerald)].
Immediately, a +0.3 agility judgment was obtained.
In the end, with the agility of 3.1, Dean easily appeared on the second floor the moment the opponent took the ninth step, facing the enemy whose back was facing him.
When the opponent took the tenth step, Dean easily solved the opponent.
【xp+15】
Undoubtedly, he is another knight-level guy, but he has not experienced the baptism of knights, and he is still the kind who has barely reached the level.
Still, it was enough to surprise Dean.
There is a real knight who has been baptized by a knight, plus a knight who has reached the knight level but has not been baptized-even if the latter is barely achieved, no one can deny the strength of the opponent's knight.
And being able to have two knight-level guards, the identity of the character Chuld Defendi met with, was once again elevated in Dean's heart.
The thoughts in his heart turned again and again, but Dean did not stop his footsteps.
After putting the guard's body down, Dean took a step forward, and after a deliberate pause, he turned around and walked back at a slightly smaller pace.
Undoubtedly, this is the process of Dean imitating the guard's patrolling and pacing.
In addition, the time difference during the period is calculated, and the distance of the steps is shortened to hide.
Perhaps the two people who were negotiating in the study would not notice such a difference, but Dean's caution made him have to do this - not only training, but also countless assassinations.
Assassin is an extremely dangerous profession.
This is true whether it is for the goal or for yourself.
Therefore, no amount of caution and caution can be overstated.
Dean's footsteps approached the study room more and more, and some voices inside could already be heard clearly——
"I hope to see Your Excellency Mader tomorrow night..."
"Master also hopes to meet His Excellency Chuld Defendi..."
"I hope we can have a more pleasant cooperation..."
"If you have any trouble, we can also help you..."
"No need, the previous one was an accident, I will solve it myself..."
"It's just a small leader of the Tyrian leader, I think it's the same..."
...
The conversation wasn't clear enough, but it was enough for Dean to get the information he needed.
"Not with the real big shot, but the other party's housekeeper?"
Dean was taken aback in his heart, but then the murderous intent rose again.
Obviously, just as he had guessed before, Chuld Defendi definitely made the move after he recognized him.
As for why the other party can recognize it?
Dean believes that it is not difficult to remember a person firmly at the level that the other party can cast spells such as [Spiritual Suggestion].
Excellent memory and subtle observation.
After all, this can be regarded as an ability of wizards.
However, because of this, the other party was even more unable to stay.
Because of the hatred between the two sides, Dean believed that if the other party had the opportunity to kill him, the other party would definitely not show mercy, and it just so happened that there is such an opportunity now.
Although the other party didn't know the identities of the two corpses, what was it?
The other party only needs to release the news, and then they can wait and watch the show.
Tread...tap...tap...
After pacing back and forth for the guard several times, Dean has confirmed that there are only two people in the room, one is Chuld Defendi, and the other is the butler or confidant of a certain important person in Vauban County.
And such determination did not make Dean act rashly.
He is waiting for a better time.
After all, one of the targets can be confirmed to be a wizard, and although the other one should not have much strength according to speculation, this is only speculation, not proof.
If once the other one has considerable strength, he can hold him back in a short period of time, so that Chuld Defendi can fully prepare...
Giving a wizard time to fully prepare is definitely not a good plan.
So Dean waited patiently again—
Wait for the moment when the other party opens the door.
