As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

Chapter 278 The Devil Emerging from Hell (4)

Although he is only the lowest-ranking lord, he is still a nobleman. When faced with beings with a higher title than himself, he usually nods and bows, flatters and smiles. When facing ordinary civilians, he naturally shows off his power.

Although it is impossible to treat human life as trivial as a real powerful person like Butler, he has never paid attention to the common people. At least he has done such shitty things as not giving money to eat.

But now, all the pride of being a noble has completely disappeared... Nonsense, even the Grand Duke Egbert has given up, and a small lord like myself is nothing.

At this moment, the thief had just recovered a little and started to tremble again.

He didn't understand why he was so unlucky to meet these two demons who came out of hell here.

No, they are scarier than the demons in hell.

Faintly, a strange hallucination began to appear in front of the thief's eyes, as if countless people were jumping on him, biting his body crazily, and pulling dripping pieces from his body. flesh.

That feeling is definitely more terrifying and despairing than the guillotine, the stake, or the gallows.

No matter what, he would never want to end up like Butler. That would be worse than death, and he would have to taste the cruelest torture in the world before dying.

At that moment, the thief whipped out his dagger and stabbed himself in the heart.

Crisp and neat, without any sloppiness.

At least, this way he can die a little more happily.

This scene shocked Ron. What is going on?

Why would this man commit suicide with a knife when he saw him? Is he that scary?

This thief came here with the intention of death, but just when the dagger was about to pierce his heart, an inexplicable feeling suddenly appeared. The originally fast dagger suddenly seemed to be entangled with a thread. chain, the speed became extremely slow.

Before the thief could figure out what was going on, Ron's figure floated over, reaching out and patting the thief's shoulder. The next moment, the thief felt his arm go numb, and the dagger in his hand immediately clicked. It fell to the ground.

Although he obviously survived, the thief's complexion turned even paler.

It's over, it's over, it's over now.

Even if he wanted to die happily, he still didn't know how the devil in front of him would torture himself.

He was just running errands for His Majesty the King. Although he was a noble, he had never bullied men or women like Butler. At most, he would eat without giving money. Wouldn't he have to bear the same cruel punishment as Butler?

"Brother, what are you doing?" Ron asked with a smile.

The thief opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound at all. His throat seemed to be blocked, and he huffed and puffed.

This look made Ron feel a little helpless.

Ron had already noticed the existence of this thief when he was in the crowd. His eyes were obviously different from those of the civilians around him.

He suspected that this was Holt's arrangement to search for himself and Agnes's spies in the city, but now Ron was a little doubtful of his speculation. After all, Holt was also the king of a country, so he should not find anyone. Is this kind of person who can't even speak a word be a spy?

"Well, let me ask, were you arranged by Holt?" Ron asked, raising his eyebrows.

The thief's throat was squirming and he still couldn't speak normally. He could only nod his head vigorously.

It's over, Granville is really in a state of decline. Look, this is the person arranged by the king, is this it?

Talent is withering.

"Looking for us?" Ron asked again, pointing to Agnes beside him.

The thief nodded again.

He was worried that the man might take action after asking questions, but in front of Ron, the thief didn't even have the guts to lie and hide.

"That's it. That's just right. Please send this letter to Holt 474." Ron nodded, took out a letter he had prepared long ago from his arms, and handed it to The thief then walked away.

It wasn't until Ron and Agnes were completely far away that their backs could no longer be seen. The thief's tight body suddenly softened, and then he sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

In just that short period of time, his whole body was completely soaked with sweat, and at this moment, his body felt sticky and uncomfortable.

His eyes were full of excitement of escaping death. He was already prepared to die, but he really didn't expect that he would have a chance to survive.

Until this moment, he finally felt how precious life is.

It's good to be alive.

He lowered his head and silently looked at the envelope in his palm, which was also wet with sweat from his palm.

There was even a gold coin on the envelope... The corner of the thief's mouth twitched. What is this? Is this the errand fee paid by this gentleman?

He really has... principles!

After several seconds passed, the thief finally reacted, quickly put the envelope in his arms, struggled to get up from the ground, and then walked towards the palace like crazy.

In the study room of the palace, Apu and Holt were sitting on both sides of the table, both of them looking unhappy. Just now, they had received news that Simon Adams and five hundred and sixty-four thieves had all been killed.

Although the five hundred and sixty-four thieves have good strength, and there are some hero-level experts among them, as long as they are legendary high-star existences like them, it is not too big to kill these five hundred and sixty-four people. Difficulty.

But what's really weird is that there is obviously an official road in the middle, but the deaths of these people did not alarm those who passed by the official road at all.

In other words, all of these people were killed instantly, and they didn't even have time to scream before they died.

Even if Apu and Holt take action personally, they will never be able to do this.

The most terrifying thing is that all of the 564 thieves died with their throats pierced. The positions of the wounds were all exactly the same. Moreover, judging from the degree of blood coagulation on the corpses, the time of death was very short.

And these thieves are arranged in a long snake formation, with a very short distance between every two thieves, so that these thieves can take care of each other.

If a thief is attacked, the thieves on both sides will immediately notice it and send out a signal.

However, there is no signal at all.

Coupled with the weird way of death, we can only draw one conclusion, that is, these people were all killed at the same time.

This is terrifying.

Arranged in a long snake array, how far is that?

Advanced forbidden spell?

But why didn't he notice any movement?

After getting the news, they have been thinking about it until now, and they still can't figure out what kind of power can cause such an exaggerated effect.

"It seems that we have all underestimated the prophet." The long silence was broken by Apu's voice.

Holt's expression became a little gloomier again.

That's right, this matter could only have been done by the prophet Ron.

Only a prophet can know the location of the five hundred and sixty-four thieves.

In other words, Ron and Agnes are very likely to have entered the royal city now, which is definitely not good news for them.

Apu didn't want to be a cuckold, but he had to admit that for Ron, the best choice now was to enter the royal city, then enter the headquarters of the Church of the Dawn Goddess, and drag Christian along.

With the sloppy relationship between the two of them, Christian is definitely willing to help. Apu and Holt have begun to regret using this strategy to deal with Ron. If Christian appears, their original preparations will not be enough to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Apu felt angry again.

Damn it, why should we be treated so differently?

I was just having fun with my first love at the wedding banquet, and then my quail eggs were stepped on.

Christian, a bitch, obviously doesn't allow himself to have other women, but why does Christian still take the initiative to throw himself into the arms of Ron, who already has so many women?

This is a shameless double standard.

Shameless stuff.
