Chapter 608
This assassination caused a much greater disturbance than the previous assassinations.

When the Emperor's Paladin Bright inspected the camp, his brows were always furrowed and never relaxed for a moment.

A quarter of the camp was destroyed, and nearly a third of the supplies were reduced to ashes. A total of 40 people in the royal guard were killed, and one of the night watchmen was also lost. The only thing to be thankful for was that Princess Althea was safe and sound.

"Strange... We obviously took a detour on purpose. How did the assassin target us?"

Brett stood on the ruins of the camp and murmured softly.

Having experienced the previous assassination, Bright deliberately changed his original route when entering Osenko's country and took another road to Osenko's royal city.

Eden got an idea and couldn't help but glance down at the stone pendant on his chest.

Did the pendant reveal its location?
For a moment, Eden hesitated, wondering whether he should make the pendant public.

At this moment, a scout hurried over.

"My lord, my lord, the assassin is here!"

Brett's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward.

"What did he recruit? What happened?"

The scout was breathing heavily, and after he recovered, he hurriedly explained the situation.

It turned out that although Bright changed the itinerary, the assassins obtained information from certain lords of Osenko and learned which cities the convoy had purchased supplies, thus identifying three locations, and finally successfully found them here. The location of the convoy and launch an assassination.

After telling the general situation, the scout also added some details. Those assassins were very tough. After being tortured, only two of them could not hold on. The whole story of the future was revealed, and both of them were Attendant to the Count of Bologna.

After hearing this, Bright took a deep breath. Just a few days ago, when the convoy passed through Bologna, the count entertained them warmly and provided the convoy with more than a dozen packhorses. Who would have thought that this would happen? The earl is a man who hides his sword behind his smile.

The emperor's Paladin had never suffered such a plot. He held the hilt of the sword tightly at his waist, veins bulging out, as if he was not paying attention, and the general was about to lead the royal guard to attack the count's territory.

Slowly, Bright let go of the hilt of the sword, and then exhaled,

"We will settle our accounts when we arrive at the royal city of Osenko. Lord, please bless us for the rest of our journey."

This marriage is an important plan of the emperor, and there is no room for error. Although Bright is confident enough to capture the castle of Bologna and capture the count who hides his sword in his smile, this will definitely set off a storm among the nobles of Osenko. Not only the nobles who oppose the marriage will take advantage of the situation to attack, but also those who support the marriage will most likely change their attitude.

Bright slowly turned his head and looked at the night watchmen. He first blessed everyone, and then stated his friendly attitude that he would report his achievements to the emperor. Finally, the Paladin stared at Iden and asked:
"I heard people present saying that the target of the devil is not Her Highness the Princess, but you, blond Eden. Do you know what this is about?"

Brett's question made Eden feel nervous immediately, but he remained calm and answered:

"I...I'm not sure, but I have some guesses."

"Let's hear it."

"More than a month ago, you sent me to investigate the assassins' camp. At that time, I met a devil there.

I think that the devil is targeting me because... I killed a devil before. "

After speaking, Eden pointed to the other night watchmen,
"They can vouch for me."

After finishing speaking, the other night watchmen nodded and told Bright that Eden was not lying and that these were all the truth.

Brett said dubiously:

"Oh...does the devil also have the concept of revenge?"

"Perhaps, the church still knows very little about the devil."

Eden replied:
"The devil has appeared in the past 100 years." Eden's words barely convinced Bright, who sighed:

"God, how could you allow such evil spirits to exist in the world?"

After a while, Bright left here to deal with other matters. The assassination caused a great disturbance to the convoy.

Eden breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the stone pendant on his chest.

The general's suspicion is not a good thing...

That look in his eyes may have taken me as an assassin's spy...

Eden slowly clenched his fists.

That devil…

If the night watchmen hadn't arrived in time, I would have...

You can't trust your own safety to the night watchmen. They can't come in time every time.

Eden once again realized the power of power.

He must go through the promotion ceremony again as soon as possible and be promoted to the third-level choir.

Based on my own calculations, my understanding of the choir should be enough for promotion, but...the problem is the materials and ancient sayings for promotion.

If there are no upgrading materials and ancient sayings, the success rate of the upgrading ceremony is very slim, maybe not even one tenth.

I can't take this risk. This is not a game of probability. The experience of countless predecessors has shown that the more advanced the promotion ceremony is, the more unimaginable consequences it will have if it fails.

"The teeth of Oronisaurus, the clover from the church, the feathers of the robin, the sea water where the narwhal is active..."

Eden recalled the materials used for promotion recorded in the book.

Among these materials, the latter three are not scarce, and the methods to obtain them are also very simple, but the first material is not simple.

Oronis dragons are rare among the dragon clan, and their lifespan is shorter than other dragon clans. Most of them are scattered in the southern jungle mountains. Only when you go deep into the humid and rainy jungle can you encounter this kind of dragon.

But encountering this kind of dragon does not mean that you can successfully hunt it. Oronisaurus is a pterosaur. They can fly and glide in the air, as fast as an eagle. Because of this, there are many kinds of dragons that can be purchased on the market. There are very few Oronisaurus teeth that have arrived, and they are basically not available in the market. The teeth that can be bought are usually dropped when Oronisaurus teeth change, rather than obtained from hunting. .

"There is always a way, don't panic, Lord, please protect me."

Eden comforted himself.

At this time, I saw a figure running over from not far away.

He stood in the distance and waved sharply to Eden.

Eden looked over and saw that it was Timian.

After hesitating for a moment, Eden stayed away from the other night watchmen and walked over alone.

"What's wrong, Timian?"

"Good priest, good priest, I, I need your help."

Timian said in an urgent voice,
"I-I have a brother within the faction... who was also involved in this assassination!"
