Chapter 73
Before dawn, Alice had already set off with her team.
Today they are going to visit the earl in the neighboring town. This earl holds a thirty-man second-order personal guard. If they can get his help, they will be more certain of eradicating the Painful Secret Cult.
Riding a carriage to the light green plain on the outskirts of Seidian Town, the cold and steep autumn wind filled the clothes of each teammate, and a thin fish belly white slowly rose from the horizon.
First, they passed through the outpost, went up the hillside, passed the review of a few rude soldiers, and only after handing over a few gold coins did they see the count's fortress.
After letting the maid make the announcement, there was a long wait in the hall.
Alice thought this request for assistance would be simple.
It's very easy and natural.
But to Alice's surprise and consternation, they waited in the hall for a full hour, but still there was no sign of the count.
He's just a count in a remote area.
What a show.
As a noble in the imperial capital, Alice had never received such neglect; no matter where she went, she was always treated with courtesy.
Although she is not as talented and arrogant as her cousin, Alice still has the pampering temperament of an aristocrat.
But considering that her current identity was only the Viscount of Earl Seden, she had no choice but to endure the neglect.
As long as the army can be found.
Just be patient for now.
She must get the top spot in the exam this time and give the border man named Ansu Morningstad a slap in the face.
What Alice couldn't bear the most was that her cousin Ashley, whom she had always loved, would be impressed by this border man.
Before the exam, he also said to her, "If you meet Ansu, you can just surrender. My sister won't blame you." ’
What's so cool about a lowly border man playing some tricks?
Where has the pride of the imperial nobility gone?
These guys didn't even pass the personality certification test, they were just losers who lost to the Esoteric Cult.
It's really irritating to be stepped on by such a guy.
But now everything is about to change.
There was a faint smile on Alice's lips. Relying on her negotiation skills, which she had been involved in the aristocratic circles for many years, she was able to obtain reinforcements as quickly as possible, and even got the first kill. This would also be her credit.
And those on the border could only look at her with envy.
"Miss Alice, it seems that the count hasn't come out yet. Do you think this will be useful?"
After waiting for a long time, an alchemist couldn't help but speak.
They set out early in the morning and endured the cold wind for two hours on the mountain road. At this time, they were already very sleepy, cold and hungry. When they saw that the count was still waiting to come out, they couldn't help but complain.
"Mr. John Sis, I remember that your father was also a remote viscount, right? It's true."
Alice elegantly raised her beautiful eyes and opened her red lips lightly.
"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 poisonous tongue also has a bit of the flavor of Shirley. She said elegantly:
"For nobles at the earl level, time is the least valuable thing. If you are dissatisfied, you can follow Mr. Ansu on your border."
"Ah, I forgot, it seems they didn't even enter Naraku."
As soon as she said this, she was echoed by several fans.
At this moment,
Not long after Ashley finished speaking,
The ethereal and clear voice of the astral messenger sounded:
【First kill】
Upon hearing the first sentence, all the saints were shocked, and their sleepiness disappeared instantly.
They all suspected that they had heard wrongly.
First kill?
They have only been in Naraku World for less than a week, how come they got their first kill so quickly?
Was it done by the quasi-third-level knight, His Majesty Rosen?
But according to the original plan, His Majesty Rosen should now recruit soldiers in Seidian Town.
Who did that?
Which Saint, which team is it, can be faster than His Majesty Rosen?
They looked at each other, you looked at me and I looked at you, and there was only confusion in each other's eyes.
[Snake of Pain, captain of the second team, second-level warlock, Assyrian Hughes gave up the qualification]
There was another uproar.
They don’t know what the Snake of Pain is, but the word ‘captain’ is quite valuable.
The captain, also known as the soldier captain in the Pain Secret Cult, is the elite of the elite.
Several teams from the Alchemist Church can't even enter the secret sect's stronghold. As a result, one team even killed the soldier captain.
Everyone was curious about the identity of the killer.
Alice's expression was also very subtle. She widened her eyes and listened intently, wanting to know who had snatched her first kill.
Is it Shana from the Druid Church?
still?
Several possible names flashed through her mind, but when she heard the next words of the astral messenger, Alice only felt that the world was absurd and weird, and even wondered if she was not awake.
[Contributors: Ansu Morningstad (50%), Liszt Munn (40%), Arthur Sonny (10%)]
[Due to the first kill bonus, Ansu received five points, Liszt received four points, and Arthur received one point]
"Uh huh?"
Alice was so confused that she couldn't speak. She tilted her head and blinked her eyes. It was obvious that the words that sounded in her ears were words that she could understand, but when combined, they became sentences that were completely beyond her understanding.
"Anzu?"
"Is it that Ansu Morningstar? And the two people at the border?"
"How did he do that."
The saints were also shocked and hesitant, and the noises kept coming and going. They kept confirming with their companions, and everyone suspected that they had heard wrongly.
According to what Rosen and Alice said, weren't the three border areas eliminated from the beginning?
Did the collective win the Easter match?
Even if they won, how did they achieve the silent assassination?
The management of the Painful Secret Cult is so strict and perfect. For a whole week, they have not been able to take a step to assassinate a second-level secret cultist.
What kind of superb method is it?
Social assassination is the most silent assassination.
No, they finally realized the clue.
According to the Astral Messenger, the soldier captain chose to withdraw voluntarily.
That can only be suicide.
Although it was suicide, it was judged to be the contribution of the three border offices.
Could it be that they were so terrifying and powerful that they frightened the Painful Mysteries into committing suicide? Some saints ignored this unrealistic idea.
The most unacceptable is Alice.
She only felt her face burning red, "How is that possible?"
And what makes Alice look most ugly is,
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked into the hall. He bowed first, and then said slowly:
"Dear Lord Viscount, you are too noisy and have lost the dignity of a noble. Please go back."
Because they were shocked by Ansu's first kill, their discussion was too loud, which disturbed the earl. He thought they were all rude people, so he issued an order to expel them.
was driven away.
Alice finally felt a hint of her cousin's feelings.
What the hell is this?
"With the social skills and eloquence of a low-class noble, even the soldier captain can persuade him to die."
Saint John, who had been laughed at by her just now, clapped his hands and showed an expression of realization.
——
"Is it too late for me to defect to Anzu now?"
