Chapter 534 Chase Ⅰ

The gravel path in front of me is about to come to an end.

There was a two-story building, with two floors of wooden steps, and the same wooden handrails, floors, and up to the half-open wooden door.

The dilapidated signboard had already fallen to the ground, and like the whole building, it was full of marks of knives and axes, and was also covered with mud.

There are even some traces of fire.

However, under the influence of the mud, the fire did not really engulf the tavern in the civilian area.

For this, of course, a huge price was paid.

All the people, including the tavern owner and fellows, were killed here by the mob, and the ground was stained with blood.

Of course, ordinary people know this.

And according to Aleander.

This place was directly taken over by the brotherhood when the riot broke out!

Because their previous temporary stronghold was too close to the front square of the Golden City, and it was completely affected by the battle.

Therefore, a new temporary stronghold is essential.

Aleander was placed on the inside line of the Brotherhood. After receiving the news of the transfer, Aleander informed Aleander, and Aleander directly informed Dean.

Then, naturally, Dean showed up here.

Dean scanned the tavern in front of him, and then, after making a gesture to the chief guard of the Grand Duke, he continued to walk inward——

crunch!

When Dean stepped onto the first wooden step, there was an immediate, tooth-piercing sound.

but. Dean didn't care, and continued to walk up.

crunch!

The second wooden step also made such a harsh sound.

Then the wooden floor. is also like this.

Everything shows the oldness here, which matches the appearance of the tavern.

However, Dean keenly noticed something was wrong.

Wooden steps are no problem.

The wooden hallway floor was somewhat problematic.

Even through the metal boots, Dean's feet could feel the appearance of the floor after his hands and feet were moved. Not only was it thinned, but a rope was tied to it, and the floor vibrated. Driven by the vibration of the rope, the crisp sound of the bell. directly into the ears.

When [Perception] reached 10.59, although the effect of [Heart Like Still Water] did not change directly, the subtleties became more and more obvious.

With a casual smile. Dean pushed open the remaining half of the door and walked into the tavern.

The tables and chairs had already been scattered and fallen, and all the wine in the tavern had been taken away, not to mention the wine barrels, not even a wine glass left.

And the bar counter of the tavern was even split into two.

The incision has burrs and is not smooth, but it is enough to show the strength of the hacker.

At least above the knight level. Only those who are close to the great knight can do it.

Dean slowly approached the bar that was divided into two, as if he wanted to take a closer look——

Woo!

A figure. Jumping straight down from the beam, the battle ax in his hand made a whistling sound.

Moreover, in the surrounding shadows, crossbow arrows were shot out one after another.

Dean ignored the incoming crossbow arrows and raised his palm to grab it.

Clang!

The palm that should have been made of flesh and blood made the sound of metal clashing as soon as it touched the battle axe. 【Sharp Palm】is performed with Dean's current 【Physique】, although the level has not been raised again. But with more convenience.

At least, become weightless.

Click, click, click...

A series of extremely cold frost spread out from Dean's palm, directly covering the battle axe, and covering it together before the ax bearer had time to react.

In an instant, the axeman became silent and became an ice sculpture.

Dean tossed it casually.

The ice sculpture smashed into a shadow.

Suddenly, the sound of the ice sculpture breaking and the screams from the shadows sounded at the same time.

【xp+90】

【xp+20】

【xp+15】

A series of three light spheres floated out of the shadow and merged into Dean's body, but Dean didn't stop there, and walked slowly towards another shadow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The continuous arrows shot out rapidly.

However, just like before, it only brought a few sparks on the [Imitation. Xisteel Armor], and then it was bounced off.

Nothing stopped Dean from moving forward.

And when Dean was one step away from the shadow, the arrow in the shadow stopped, and a flap opened from the floor was revealed there.

Obviously, this is the opponent's retreat and also the opponent's trap.

Without hesitation, Dean jumped in.

And just as Dean thought, the moment he jumped in, the Brotherhood assassins who had already been guarding below immediately launched an attack.

A long sword gleaming with cold light aimed at the gap between the top and bottom of [Imitation. West Steel Armor], stabbing towards it.

After two rounds of arrows, even the most stupid person can see the strong defensive power of [Imitation. West Steel Armor].

It is the best choice to avoid [Imitation. West Steel Armor] and attack Dean himself.

The assassins of the 'Brotherhood' naturally knew how to do it.

Similarly, Dean also naturally knew how to do——

Dean's feet flickered again and again like a prophet. The first kick hit the assassin's long sword accurately, causing his sword to fly away, and the second kick hit the assassin's chest fiercely.

Crack!

After the sound of bones breaking, the assassin flew upside down, hit the wall heavily, and then fell to the ground, blood spurting out again and again, struggling twice, but still unable to stand up. Obviously not alive.

When Dean got down on the ground, the light ball representing the xp value reappeared.

【xp+50】

An xp value higher than ordinary knights, but far below the level of great knights.

And that was enough to make Dean frown.

He looks around. The frown tightened even more.

In front of him is an underground secret room, which is neatly arranged and the walls are evenly built. There are beds around the chamber and a table in the middle.

Moreover, in the other corner of the secret room, enough food and water were piled up.

No matter how you look at this situation, it doesn't look like a 'temporary stronghold' that has been found in a hurry.

Moreover, according to Aleander, the king of Gaosai is a member of the "Brotherhood". All will gather here, and with the performance of just four people. Although the level is much higher than that of miscellaneous fish, it is definitely not a real elite.

After all, according to common sense, the person in charge of the 'Brotherhood' who is in charge of Gaosai King's Capital. At least it should be a silver.

Then, it is common sense to have three to five great knights under him.

What's more, the 'Ghost' Walt had three silvers with him before.

And now, none of them showed up.

The only thing that can be explained is——

Aleander's 'inside line' is exposed!

Everything before was just testing and confirming whether the other party had rebelled.

And when he appeared here, everything was self-evident.

Dean, who wanted to understand the key, narrowed his eyes and appeared on the first floor of the tavern, and then appeared directly outside the tavern.

He waved his hand at the head of the Grand Duke's bodyguard who wanted to speak. After making several gestures and explaining the current situation roughly, Dean slightly closed his eyes. The special perception given by [Heart Like Still Water] allowed him to carefully search for special vibrations within a radius of one kilometer.

Since the traitor is to be verified, there must be solid evidence.

Especially an assassin organization like the 'Brotherhood' will do it meticulously.

An organization that is good at assassination and creating chaos looks very ironic and funny about its internal strictness.

But it is precisely because they know the disadvantages of no rules and chaotic order. That's why there are such strict laws.

So, Dean, who was trained in the 'Brotherhood' in his previous life. Apart from the 'bait' in the tavern, Dean must have observers.

And, not too far away!

And Dean's only hope is that this observer will 'observe' to the end, instead of choosing to leave at the beginning.

All the hustle and bustle and sounds are leaving.

Dean, who was completely immersed in the state of [Heart Like Still Water], everything disappeared from his eyes.

The rest is a mirror-like 'water'!

It's like a lake.

And on the top one after another ripples appear continuously——

The sound of birds flapping their wings.

The footsteps of soldiers on patrol.

There is also... a ripple that is extremely shallow but extremely spaced.

"it's him!"

In an instant, Dean opened his eyes, and chased the figure in the direction that it was going. The speed was extremely fast, but no sound came out, and the chief guard of the Grand Duke who wanted to follow immediately had to slow down.

The head of the Grand Duke's bodyguard, who is famous for his strength and physique, has never learned similar tracking skills.

Perhaps under the burst of strength, her speed was not much weaker than Dean, but the sound she made...was like tearing down a house.

But now, it is obvious that such a big commotion should not be made.

After all, they were after an assassin.

The Grand Duke's bodyguard patiently followed behind Dean. Although Dean was no longer visible, the marks left by Dean along the way were enough for her to follow smoothly.

"There is a temptation, so...if this time goes well, we will definitely find a big fish!"

The chief guard of the Grand Duke thought so firmly.

The steps under her feet became more and more careful - she would not allow this operation to fail due to her own fault.

After crossing the streets and alleys and bypassing several gravel paths, near the edge of the civilian area, the chief guard of the Grand Duke stopped in his tracks.

Her gaze scanned the surroundings, looking for and confirming the marks left by Dean.

However, at this moment, a huge roar suddenly occurred in the distance——

boom!

Flames blazed everywhere, flame waves soared into the sky, rolling with thick black smoke.

Several figures loomed among them.
