Mount and Blade

Seranti was surprised, but the footsteps coming from behind had to use the scimitar in her hand to kill the man quickly. Without caring so much, Seranti held the scimitar with scarlet eyes and killed the man. .

"Puff"

"Oh..." The man stared at Seranti's face with wide eyes, and swallowed his last breath with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth out of reluctance and regret.

Seranti put the hood over her head in panic, and her hands covered with blood trembled in the cold wind for some reason, and the footsteps followed one after another.

"You succeeded?! Lantis!!"

"As expected of you, Shadow of Assassination, it seems that the next King of Assassination must be you!!"

"Hahaha, this guy is the grand leader of the Griffin Knights... The Assassination King Dilis fell into the hands of this man..."

...Gryphon Knights?

Seranti didn't know what he was thinking. His hood was a little damaged and he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

"Eh? Lantis, why don't you cut off his head and take it back to claim the reward?"

"...Boring." Seranti ignored them and walked away.

"Huh... He's really as indifferent as ever."

In any case, the news that the Grand Master of the Griffin Knights died at the hands of Lantis, the Shadow of Assassination, spread throughout the Blade of Punishment intelligence network.

.........

Seranti put on a new hood and followed the traces of the two women. The two women could not run far and must have hid in this town. Seranti bribed the guards guarding the city and inquired about the two women. After hearing the news about the woman, he rode around the city in the direction where the two women were going.

"You bastard... you got this weird disease, go to hell!!"

An unpleasant sound sounded from the corner of the tavern, and the sound of punches and kicks made Serantine's ears feel inexplicably irritated. Anyway, no one could be found for a while, so why not go and see what was going on? Maybe Maybe he was hanging around in the tavern. Seranti dismounted and tied the horse to the street where there were city patrols.

When Selanti arrived, the group was already preparing to go back. The girl on the ground was coughing and dying, with only a rag wrapped around her body. Her pair of pointed ears were exposed to the air, and her snow-white legs were already black and blue. There were pieces here and there, and it looked like there wasn’t a good piece of meat all over his body.

Pointy ears! !

Seranti's pupils suddenly tightened, her heart beat nervously, and she hurried over. No matter what, her heart would still be cruel when she saw the miserable situation that the same kind of people with pointed ears had mixed up in human society. He picked it up again.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Seranti held the girl's body in her right arm. She had been tortured until she was almost out of shape. Her face was swollen from being beaten. She still had the look of a noble race and the salty smell of blood... This girl is a half-elf just like herself.

"Eh? Do you know her?" Several men came over with ill intentions.

"How about it, for one thousand dinars we will let you go, Jie Jie Jie..."

Several men with big muscles and round waists were obviously interested in Seranti's money bag, and they were gearing up, as if they were convinced that Seranti would not dare to do anything to them alone.

In this situation, something like this happened in the back alley of the tavern. You don’t need to think about it to know what happened. Seranti’s gloomy emerald green eyes burst out with strong murderous intent. This kind of dark and chilling thing made He recalled that dark past and decisively took out the assassin's flying knife from his waist and choked two of them to death on the spot. The scimitar at his waist flashed the cold light and slit the throats of several people.

"Ho..."

Several strong men whose throats were slit by scimitars could only lay on the ground with their eyes wide open while holding their throats with blood gushing before they could see Seranti's strange knife skills clearly.

"A bunch of disgusting guys..."

Seranti suppressed her nausea, shook the blood on the tip of the knife and put it back into its sheath. She put the robe she had brought with her in her luggage on the naked girl. She couldn't get the broken straw mat. She picked up the girl and left this place. Dirty place.

The girl seemed to be more awake, watching Seranti mumbling incoherently and crying, as if she wanted to say that she was not worthy of him and that he was in big trouble.

"You're too weak, don't talk."

Seranti held her in his arms and rode to a hotel in the south of the city. The identity of the half-elf could not be easily exposed in the human world, as this would lead to death.

The warm room was much better than the outside. After closing the doors and windows tightly, Seranti revealed her appearance.

"Are you...an elf?"

There was a glimmer of light in the girl's weak and swollen eyes. She stretched out her hand and asked as if she wanted to catch him. She felt that her time was running out. If she could see her mother's compatriots before she died, It's a blessing.

"...I'm just a half-elf like you."

Seranti squatted down beside the girl and took the girl's slender palm. It was too cold, so Seranti covered her left hand with her hands in an attempt to warm her.

"Ah...you too...are the same as me."

The girl's tears fell on the pillow. She tried her best to move her almost unconscious right hand. Seranti saw the right hand she wanted to move and took the girl's right hand out of the quilt. It was better not to look at it. After watching it, Seranti felt only deep surprise, fear, hatred, and distress.

Only the index finger of her fingers was not broken. Her right arm was broken by the thugs, and it hung there like a twisted piece of soft flesh. There were even a few whip marks on the bruised arm, and the skin was torn off. Just looking at it made Seranti tremble all over, those beasts! !

Seranti gritted her teeth. Seeing that her half-elf companion was in a much more miserable state than herself, Seranti's heart was so painful that it was about to bleed. The girl's crooked fingers were still clenching a hand tightly. A blue gem, he spread his palm as hard as he could to hand it to Seranti.

"This... was left to me by my mother... It was originally a necklace, but it was accidentally taken away by them... Only this is left..." The girl almost used all her strength to submit to Seran. Talking.

"If you... meet my mother in the Noldor Forest, please... give it to her and say... say..." The girl suddenly twitched all over, and the palm of her left hand pressed hard He grabbed Selanti's hand and wanted to finish speaking.

"...Stop talking, you are dying..."

Seranti's hands suddenly trembled, trying to stop the girl's words with all her strength. This was probably the girl's last strength.

"I'm sorry..., I couldn't...protect...well...well...myself...as she said..." the girl finished the last sentence, her dark green eyes His pupils were blurred and he was completely silent.
