Chapter 116 (1/2)
Chapter 116: Judgeht equipped in a white hele portion of the nobles looked at hi at a fool In their eyes, this Knight Princess who hadn’t listened to the warnings of others was already a dead person
There were only a few people who vaguely felt that the Knight wasn’t the type ould die young The next tie
As the retreat progressed in an orderly manner, Hermit secretly pulled to one side a White Wolf Guard officer that was in charge of facilitating the retreat
“…If that feht were to bypass the encirclement, find an opportunity to kill her I will take responsibility for it”
As the trusted advisor of the Auland Emperor Darsos, one of the masterminds in the shadows, Hermit’s deter in a desperate situation, the feed out with a sendary Will of the Mist and its previous glory She was obviously the princess of a seous situation, yet she had gained the upper hand through a series of clashes He began to suspect that the other party th to break out of this hopeless situation
Moreover, the reappearance of the Aurora Knight could be a sign that the various powerful troops of the Mist Country are gradually awakening It feels as though there is a possibility that the glorious history of the Mist will leap out from the past and appear in the present
If the Mist Country were to rise up once again and the seven countries of the Northern Lands unite as one, perhaps that sovereign of the Northern Lands would be able to conquer the north once more Not to mention, his own Emperor is infatuated with her Ten years of ceasefire et an even more crucial one In Hermit’s mind, this kind of unique existence is unneeded fro so despicable Maybe, the Eed and punish hie of such neould result in a chain reaction However, as the subordinate of the Auland Empire’s Emperor, he feels that the descendant of the Mist would prove to be a threat in the future He has to et rid of this variable Even if he would be punished as a result, it would be worth it This is his undying loyalty towards his lord and his country
“No erous I aoodwill towards her Killing the beloved woman of the Eainst me When the scandal that I killed the princess of another country during a disaster spreads, I ainst our allies right before the Sacred War Perhaps, I will be thought of as a fool who can only scheainst my own comrades by the people and would be dealt with harshly However, as long as this is beneficial for the country and Darsos, even if other people are unable to comprehend allows?”
Froence Head whose eyes are always squinting and carries a sche smile may look like a playboy, but his loyalty to the Auland Empire and the E to die to protect them
Just because he feels that the person would be a threat to the Auland Eet rid of her This is a very siht be the conclusion he caence, or ence Head Hermit makes up his mind, he would o as well If the White Wolf Guards aren’t in a good position to strike, you all will complete the task in their stead If you all do not spot the target leaving the city, help the guards to hold the final defence line If you all don’t accolya feords to himself, a few shadows disappear into the distant The spies have begun to share intelligence on the target, preparing for their dishonorable assassination
Then, when he turned around to get on top of the hu on it
By his side, in the hands of a Mage, a display was playing the video recorded by a Mage Eye As he glances at it, fright paralyzes him and cold sweat drenches his back
The video that is playing shows the words he spoke just a short o, “…find an opportunity to kill her!”
At this moment, Darsos slumps like a wooden puppet with a stoic face However, Hermit is aware that this is the expression he displays when he is incensed He lowers his his head, prepared to face the wrath of his liege, but he only hears a question with suppressed powerful ee Emperor’ Marsolit should have been mobilized already Help me convey a round chah e of drowning”
After saying those words, he throws over a Blood Dragon Head Insignia to him This was the only token of authority that the bloodthirsty SemiGod obeys
What is this situation? He didn’t intend to punish me? Hesitation appeared on Hermit’s face
“This mission has to be completed in utmost secrecy Thus, if you were to ht, emphasise to Marsolit that if the old fool see, silence hi”
In that instant, Hermit understands The current situation is chaotic, and only supreme experts are able to move casually in the battlefield Marsolit, who had participated in the rebellion, is capable of flitting around like an apparition Even if he were to bring so, it is impossible for him to be noticed This isn’t ahih the hands of another
“Hermit, do you still remember what our dreams were? I want to make Auland stand at the peak of the world Compared to this, what does a woman count as?”
He continues to talk about officialthe least about the assassination on the princess However, those words that he squeezes out froaps of his teeth proves his deterned the contract is Darsos hilect’ of both parties, they only limited the prevention of ‘acts of hostility’ to countries They ‘forgot’ about the safety of themselves as individuals If a subordinate of theirs were to act on their ohim… If the SemiGod were to accidentally kill so out his mission… It is impossible for the contract to intervene with such a curved ball
Thus, in the eyes of the contract and Darsos hi of his subordinate
“Since she is destined not to beshe could be is my enemy If I cannot attain her, then nobody else can”
Hermit is unable to hear the voice in the depths of the Emperor’s heart, but the trust Darsos holds towards hireater justice’ makes the usually dispassionate Hermit to feel moved That is the reason why he respects and serves him loyally
“Yes, your majesty! I will not let you down”

The Systeht I am more interested in the Race Talent that I had unlocked upon reaching twenty forit The strong sense of giddiness and tiredness hten nificantly greater destructive power, the requirenificantly I have barely reached the basic prerequisites for it, though there is one hidden prerequisite that I anore no matter what —— power rank
Secret Swords aren’t better just because they are stronger, the most important factor is still suitability As a Bronze-rank, despitephysical body, it is already pushi+ng it for end Secret Sword If I were to execute Polar Blade Storood as suicide in h the quantification of the System, the basic inforth-type Secret Sword requires the Strength stat to boost its destructive prohile Agility is used to maintain the attack speed, accuracy and balance of the attack Stamina mainly deals with the rebound one incurs fro it As for Intelligence, that is the requireic aspect
Every time my level or power rank increases, it increases in the ‘quantity’ h I barely meet the basic requirements in terms of ‘quality’, fro severely
Thus, both ofcut by the sword qi Even with Irene serving as an external ic power is sapped in an instant I feel a splitting headache froe to puke Thewith the rebound on the h level of expertise in swords so ht
Under the lith of the Blade Storinal Its evolved version, the Saint Magic Secret Sword, probably doesn’t hold a tenth of the ht of the complete version
Otherwise, struck by a Saint Secret Sword in close proximity, the result would just not end up with one killed and one wounded even with the unexpected augth of a human Gold-rank would definitely be killed in an instant
