Chapter 402 The Boy from the Countryside

Tatsumi is a young man from a border village. In order to save the village's plight, he made an appointment with his friends Shayou and Iyeas to go to the imperial capital to become famous, and then return home in good clothes.

However, on the way to the imperial capital, he was attacked by bandits and separated from his friends, so Tatsumi, who rushed to the imperial capital one step behind, couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when entering the prosperous imperial capital.

But fortunately, Tazmi, who came to the imperial capital for the first time, was very lucky and soon met two good guys on the streets of the imperial capital.

The other party is a big sister with blond hair and an outrageous figure, and a black-haired boy who is about the same age as him and looks very handsome.

Their names were Leonai and Wood. When they met them on the street for the first time, they recognized at a glance that they were from other places, and they enthusiastically gave themselves help.

Tazmi, are you really not going to have some? Although many things in the Empire are disgusting, only this wine is quite good.

That's right, that's right, you can't drink this wine in the country, it's rare to come to the imperial capital, it would be a pity not to try it.

Looking at Leonai and Wood, who looked like alcoholics in front of them, Tatsumi smiled and declined their kindness.

It's not that Tazmi doesn't give them face, but that he doesn't know how to drink, nor has he ever drank.

Wine is brewed from grain, and their village is too poor to open the pot, so there is surplus grain that can be used to make wine.

Mr. Wood, Sister Leone, just forget about drinking or something. You say that people who know the army can really directly recommend me to join the Imperial Army?

Although it cost a lot of money to invite the two people in front of him to drink, as long as he can find a way to join the imperial army, Tatsumi thinks it is quite worth it.

Even Tatsumi didn't expect that he was so lucky that he could meet such a friendly person when he just arrived in the imperial capital.

Maybe when Shayou and Iyeyas came to the imperial capital, he would have been able to make a splash first, which would impress them.

The old village chief was right. Although the outside world is dangerous, there are still many good people.

Don't worry, I was in the imperial army before, and I was also the general's guard.

It's just because there are too many rules in the army, so I resigned and quit. With your strength, you can enter the imperial army, and you will be a small captain at the beginning.

It's not that Tazmi is too easy to trust people, but that Wood in front of him can be said to be very sensible when talking about the army, and he doesn't look like he is lying at all.

Really! I was the captain at the beginning? Thank you so much, Mr. Wood.

Hearing what Wood said, the cute young boy Tazmi suddenly showed excitement on his face, and even imagined in his mind that he became the team leader, and Shayou and Iyeas from the same country called him sir screen.

Of course, you can kill mid-level dangerous species by yourself, and being an empire captain is more than enough.

But you also know, because I left the imperial army a long time ago, and although I still have some contacts, sometimes if I need help, if I go there empty-handed, it’s always so...

While talking, Wood showed a rather embarrassed expression, and the thumb tip of his right hand was still rubbing back and forth with the tip of his index finger, as if hinting something to Tazmi.

Hearing what Wood said, as well as the movements of his hands, Tazmi also hurriedly searched for bags, and quickly piled up all the bounties he got for killing dangerous species along the way. In front of Leone.

The boy just hasn't seen the world, but he is not a fool. He is quite clear about what Wood means.

And he also believes that what Wood has done is not wrong. After all, asking for help does not give him any benefit, how can he try his best?

It's much more than I imagined. Maybe you can look forward to it. Maybe you can be more than just a team leader.

Weighing the bag of gold coins that Tazmi handed over, both Wood and Leone smiled happily, and promised that this matter would be handed over to them. Next left the tavern.

That boy doesn't seem to have a bad nature. I can't bear to lie to such a country boy.

Wood and Leone had just walked out of the tavern. The blond and big-breasted sister obviously had a good impression of the brown-haired boy just now, and said so with a guilty expression.

We are teaching him the principles of how to behave. The imperial capital is a big dye vat. If you believe what other people say so casually, how can you live here in the future.

Moreover, that young man's strength is indeed good enough to protect himself in the imperial capital. With his ability, he should not starve to death. This time, he should spend money to buy a lesson.

If you feel guilty, there is no need to share the money, and I will bear your troubles for you.

Hearing what Wood said, the guilt left on Leonai's face instantly disappeared. What Wood said was not wrong, they just taught that innocent country boy a lesson, but the tuition fee It's just a little more expensive.

Wood and Leone, who got a lot of money for no reason, originally wanted to find a new tavern to have a big fight, but when passing by the tavern, they accidentally saw the mark left by Night Raid on the wall .

When they saw this mark, Wood and Leonai knew that the wine probably couldn't be finished because there was a task coming.

Night Raid's stronghold is located in the mountains ten kilometers north of the imperial capital. It usually accepts the entrustment of the residents of the imperial capital to eliminate corrupt bureaucrats and villains.

The reason why Night Raid is called Night Raid is because the information of team members is confidential and will not be recorded. Because they are good at night raids and kills, they have the code name Night Raid.

When Leonai and Wood arrived at the stronghold, the others seemed to have been waiting for a long time, or in other words, except for Wood and Leonai, the others rarely went to the imperial capital for activities during the day.

You two guys, sneaked off to drink again, obviously your job is to collect information about the imperial capital, so is it really okay to not do your job for a day?

Boss, you also talk about them, if this continues, the two of them will become alcoholics sooner or later.

As soon as Leonai and Wood entered the door, a girl with ponytails frowned and covered her nose, because the smell of alcohol on their bodies was too strong.

Wood, I have already said that if there are no special circumstances, you should try not to go to the imperial capital for activities, and Leone will be responsible for the intelligence work.

You, Brand, and Chitong and the others have long been on the empire's most wanted list. Once you are recognized, it will be very troublesome.

Regarding Leonai and Wood's habit of hanging out in taverns all year round, Najie Xitan didn't criticize too much, because she also likes to drink.

At the same time, she also knew that Leone would linger in various taverns in the empire, not just because he liked to drink, but also that places like taverns, where fish and dragons mixed together, were indeed the best places to collect information.

Seeing that Najie Xitan didn't accuse the two too much, Ma Yin wanted to say something more, but Wood pulled her aside quickly and took out the exquisite cake that had been prepared a long time ago.

This is the most popular cake in the imperial capital recently. I bought it specially for you to eat. The boss summoned us this time, obviously there is a task for us to complete. Can we talk about other things later?

Looking at the exquisite cake in front of her, the tsundere girl with two ponytails snatched away the things in Wood's hands with a hum, and then she stood aside as expected, and did not hold on to the matter of going to drink with Wood and the others.

Boss, what kind of tricky target is this time, so many of us need to be worried?

Without Ma Yin's spoiler, the topic returned to the right track again. Leonai was also quite surprised that Najie Xitan summoned all of them to attack at night.

It is estimated that since the establishment of Night Attack, the number of times all of them have acted together is very small. Unless it is an extremely difficult target, they seldom act in groups, but act in groups of two.

Yeah, boss, let's forget about the others. This time, even Wood, Chitong, and Brand will participate in this mission. Is the enemy's strength so strong?

It's been a while since everyone joined Night Raid. As companions who help each other, Wood and the others have already known each other's characters and strengths, just like Wood bought a cake in advance to coax Maine.

Those who attacked at night also knew that in their assassination team, although Najie Xitan was the leader, she was not the strongest.

If there were to be three major forces in the night attack, then it should be Wood, Chitong and Brand.

Generally speaking, if the three of them are dispatched together, it will be a real big task, and it may even be to assassinate a certain general of the empire or want to attack the minister directly.

No, you are overthinking. The reason why all of you are dispatched this time is because there are a lot of assassination targets. I am worried that if you go to two people, someone will be able to get away, so the news will be exposed, so I let you together dispatched.

This is the goal of this mission, take a look for yourself, and start taking action at night.

With a cigarette in her mouth, Najie Xitan casually threw out some information, which was their assassination target this time.

It turned out to be their family, and I have indeed heard about their evil deeds a long time ago.

This wealthy businessman's family is not a good person, especially the daughter of the family, who is the youngest next year, but has the most vicious personality. This mission is exactly what I want.

The information that Najie Xitan threw out was the information of a rich businessman in the empire. On the surface, this wealthy businessman in the empire was sanctimonious, but in fact they were even more devil than the devil in secret.

The family likes to take in beggars or outsiders who are wandering on the streets of the imperial capital, and then bring these people home with a hypocritical face. In order to satisfy their perverted hobbies, they brutally kill these homeless people.

The mission target of this Night Raid is not one or two, but the entire family of this wealthy businessman!

A family of three rich merchants who are the masterminds is not a good thing, but so are the guards who help the evildoers.

As night fell, Tatsumi, who was about to fall asleep, heard movement in the mansion, and immediately walked out of the room with his sword in hand.

And when he came to the corridor outside the room, he saw this absolutely unforgettable moment.

A beautiful girl with long black hair and wearing a black sailor suit, holding a long knife in the moonlight, is carrying out a bloody massacre against the people in the mansion!

As the benefactor who took her in, Alia, the girl who was even regarded by Tazmi as an angel in the world, although she kept running away under the protection of the guards at this moment, the black-haired girl who was the killer was like a god of death, constantly harvesting the guards s life.

Seeing Arya's life hanging by a thread, Tatsumi, who had a strong sense of justice, naturally would not turn a blind eye. He rushed in front of her with a dodge, and helped her block Chitong's fatal knife.

You are not the target of burial, but if you get in my way, I will bury you together!

Before carrying out the mission, Chitong had read the list of all the buried targets, but Tazmi was obviously not on the list.

But Chitong's idea is also very simple. Arya's family are all devils in human skin, and they will choose to protect such people, so Tazmi is probably not a good thing.

Facing the decisive and powerful Chitong, Tazmi was also puzzled at the moment. Why would someone as good as Arya be assassinated by a killer? Could it be that on the side of the imperial capital, Good people are vulnerable groups instead?

Seeing that Arya, one of the most important mission targets, gradually ran away, Chitong also became a little anxious. Even if Tazmi was not the mission target, she began not to choose to show mercy.

And Tazmi, who was already under great pressure, naturally had no choice but to fight against the serious Chitong. After only a few rounds, he fell to the ground.

When he saw the blade slashing towards him, Tatsumi even instinctively closed his eyes.

I never thought that my trip to the imperial capital would end like this before it officially started...

But Tatsumi felt it was worth it to protect a kind person like Arya with his own life.

Ding------!

Under the moonlight, the two long knives collided in the air, and a large amount of sparks splashed out. When he heard the sound of metal and iron clashing close at hand, Tatsumi also opened his eyes in doubt.

Young man, no matter when, don't close your own eyes in battle, because that means accepting death.

There is nothing to be anxious or afraid of, as long as people are still alive, there is a possibility of a comeback!

Looking at the rather familiar figure in front of him, Tatsumi opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

And as surprised as he was, there was a beautiful black-haired girl who was a killer. In other words, rather than surprise, the emotion shown by the beautiful black-haired girl in front of them was more of doubt.

Chitong, this young man is not the bad guy you imagined, he should be one of the deceived, Leonai and I know him.

You go on chasing that assassination target, just leave this boy to me.
