After the two of them left, I suddenly sighed. I didn't expect things to turn out like this.
A high-level demon and an angel who had almost reached the level of a goddess. The two of them were husband and wife, and whether it was their bodies, minds, or even souls, they were quite compatible. I didn't know what these two had experienced, but I believed that if one of them died, the other would also die very quickly.
He was really conflicted. He felt that he should report this matter because it was related to a high-level demon after all, and the demon world happened to be an important branch of hell.
After thinking about it, I still chose to report it. That night, I quickly left the capital of the Waster Empire and found a hidden cave. I set up illusions and defensive magic circles and then began to contact Hell.
"Yo, long time no see. What's the matter?”Activating the connection magic circle, the shadow of my old partner appeared in front of me.
"…That's what happened. Now, I hope you can go and investigate.”I told him the information I got without any reduction.
"Hmm, if that's the case…wait a moment.”After saying that, my partner's image suddenly disappeared. After a while, he returned with a strange expression and said to me,"The higher-ups said that you don't need to care about this matter. You just need to treat them as normal humans and interact with them normally. If they don't tell you your identity, then don't tell them. If they want you to contact Hell, help them contact Hell immediately.”
It seemed like there was something going on…
I nodded to show that I understood. Then, my partner's image disappeared. I removed the magic circle here and shook my head to chase away my doubts. This was because this was not something I could control. 'Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time. Actually, it's true. If it weren't for my stupid curiosity, I wouldn't have known about this. The more I know, the more dangerous it is. This is the truth…'
In the brightly lit hall, men and women in gorgeous clothes were holding wine and delicacies. In the corner, I, who was wearing a black robe, looked on coldly, clearly out of place.
"Ah, Miss Lina, why are you sitting here on such a beautiful day? He should have interacted more with everyone.”His Majesty, Waxter, who was dressed in a noble but not gorgeous gown, had walked to my side and said with a smile.
" I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Neither your copper coin nor the queen's gold coin is a reason for me to do this," I said in an unusual Narcissus tone." Or, Your Majesty, are you or the queen prepared to pay a new price to reach a new contract?”
"As expected of a businessman, Miss Lina. Everything is so carefully calculated and profitable.”Emperor Waxter rubbed his nose and said.
"I'm just a small businessman, naturally not as wise as His Majesty Waxter. Although I put profit first, I can at least be fair and reasonable.”As I spoke, I turned my head and looked at the Queen beside the King."Don't you agree, Your Majesty?"
The queen, who was still dressed in white and sky blue, didn't say anything. She only narrowed her eyes and looked at the king. This gaze made the king's scalp tingle, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he was the one in the wrong.
The reason why I was so angry was because I had suffered a loss in the one copper coin transaction with King Wester. That's right, I suffered a loss, or rather, I was schemed against. Originally, I had expected to make a trip around the continent once a year. If I took a detour, I would be able to fulfill this promise. However, I didn't expect King Wester to " secretly " leak this deal after I left. This wasn't a big deal, but it would let everyone who wanted to buy my goods know that I would come to the capital of the Wester Empire at least twice. This was much more convenient than looking for me all over the continent.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just this. Although I was a traveling merchant, I could sell more goods and obtain more value if I had a fixed customer base. However, the problem was that those potential customers would have to live in the capital of the Waster Empire while waiting for me. This would inevitably lead to consumption. With consumption, there would be circulation. This would also indirectly promote the prosperity of the Waster Empire. In other words, I had inadvertently contributed to the prosperity of the Waster Empire without receiving any compensation.
What I couldn't stand was that many potential customers who needed it had already gotten what they wanted before I arrived. After all, the goods I sold were already in this world, such as the tears of the black dragon, or once existed, such as the lightning of the titan. It was just that it was not easy to collect them. Now that a large number of potential customers were gathered in the capital of the Waster Empire, they could naturally exchange what they needed. In other words, The king of the Waster Empire stole my potential customer!
I was a merchant, and I relied on my customers to make a living. Stealing my customers was equivalent to cutting off my source of income, and cutting off a person's source of income was like killing one's parents. I was still able to fulfill that agreement of one gold coin and one copper coin, instead of directly charging into the palace and grabbing someone's collar to question him loudly. I was already impressed by my own calmness and demeanor.
However, Her Majesty Waxter was quite straightforward. When she saw my unhappy expression, she immediately admitted to her scheme and apologized to me. I also knew that I was the one at fault. I hadn't thought things through before doing business. I was also very grateful that Her Majesty Reina didn't reveal the transaction of that one gold coin. Otherwise, it would have been really troublesome.
However, I was still very unhappy, especially when I saw that annoying smile on his face. What's wrong? I'm just throwing a tantrum. I'm just throwing a childish tantrum. What can you do to me? The wise Emperor?
"Your Majesty, it's your turn to toast." At this moment, a waiter came to Emperor Waxter's side and whispered. There was a glass of bright red wine on the tray in his hand. My nose immediately told me that this wine was the bottle I sold during the day, but...
"Thank you for your hard work." The king smiled as he raised his glass, but he didn't drink it. Instead, he poured it into a pot of roses on the windowsill behind me.
"Kakaka…"
A chilling freezing sound was heard, and the pot of red roses immediately turned into a crystal sculpture. There was poison in the wine!
"Assassins! Protect His Majesty!" Keelit Anson, the head of the palace guards, immediately roared and slashed at the " servant " with his sword. The " servant " dodged the head guard's sword agilely. When he saw that the head guard was already in front of the king, he pounced on the queen!
"Bang!"
No one could see what was going on. They only saw the assassin that was charging at the queen fly backward. I only saw the shadow of the queen waving her hand. However, I wasn't surprised at all. After all, as an angel that was close to the level of a goddess, it was quite easy for her to deal with a mortal assassin.
"Ah-uh-"
One of the ladies finally remembered her duty during the assassination attempt, which was to scream, but her mouth was immediately covered by the man next to her. The king was so calm, the queen was so calm, and even the merchants nearby were calm. As a noble, how could he lose his composure like this?
Generally speaking, how did the target die in an assassination? About 40% of them were killed in one hit, but about 50% died in the chaos after the first assassination failed. After all, it was easy to fish in troubled waters. Seeing the " orderly " situation in the banquet hall, and the guards surrounding the banquet hall had already surrounded him, the assassin did not hesitate and jumped out of the window to escape.
"Give it to me!" Seeing that the assassin had escaped so easily, the captain of the guards, who felt that he had failed his duty, gave the order. However, the king stopped him.
"Alright, Killit, there's no need to chase.”The king passed the wine cup to his guard captain and smiled."It's just one or two rats. It's not worth it for us to give up such a beautiful banquet.”
The king's smile seemed to make people feel at ease and convinced, and it made the people who were still in shock suddenly feel like they were united against a common enemy. That's right, it's just one or two rats. How could they pose a threat to His Majesty's safety? At most, their role is to make His Majesty unhappy, but can we let them have their way?
The banquet continued, and it was even more lively than before the assassination. However, His Majesty sighed deeply, not for anything else, but for that glass of wine.
"Sigh, I spent a lot of money to buy this good wine. Every cup is expensive. That despicable assassin actually poisoned it.”
Although there was a small interlude, the banquet was still very successful due to the King's perfect performance and the " cooperation " of the guests. I also suddenly felt that my hatred for the King was really unreasonable, so I decided to treat this couple as friends the next time I came.
However, half a year later, when I once again arrived near the capital of the Waster Empire, I encountered an unexpected situation…
"I'm sorry, Miss, but you must die here today.”
A middle-aged man stood in front of me. My first impression of him was that he was " too ordinary ". He was so ordinary that he would disappear in the blink of an eye if he was thrown into a crowd. However, I could vaguely see many wailing souls behind him. Could he be a necromancer?
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the man continued in an apologetic tone,"Of course, Miss doesn't know who I am, and I shouldn't have hurt Miss. Killers can accept rewards to kill, but they shouldn't hurt the innocent. However, the target this time is too difficult, so I can only borrow Miss 'life.”
"Are you the killer from half a year ago?”I said affirmatively.
"Yes." The killer replied. At the same time, he flipped his hands and two daggers appeared in his hands.
"So you came to see me with your true face to express your determination to kill me?”I suddenly laughed." Although I don't know who you are, you must be an excellent assassin. In other words, an excellent assassin is about to disappear from the continent.”
