Noble Emblem

When Beta saw Fletcher giving up, he smiled and said, "Sophia, come back."

Sophia chuckled twice, turned into a black smoke again, and got into Beta's shadow.

Fletcher felt his back relax for an instant, and then he saw the black smoke transformed by Sophia passing by him and getting into the shadow at the feet of the pretty boy opposite.

Shadow Assassin!

Fletcher suddenly felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Whether they are assassins, assassins, or thieves, they are all very good at stealth and sneak attacks. But in general, invisibility is not a true disappearance, but a visual loss caused by a special ability. The term visual fraud is also suitable to describe it.

For 'stealth' in the traditional sense, you can use traps, traps, or raise some animals with a keen sense of smell to break the restraint. You can also use magic perception and other techniques to detect it. However, assassins who know how to transform into shadows are difficult to detect. Essentially it has no body. Smell, mechanisms, etc. will have no effect on shadows. I heard that true vision can restrain shadow assassins, but Fletcher has never seen anyone with true vision, or a spellcaster who knows similar techniques.

In addition, because shadow assassins usually possess the master's shadow, this is actually a very dangerous behavior. As long as the assassin has the intention to do harm, the master will be killed without a chance to react.

It’s a known fact that Shadow Assassin is a double-edged sword.

Beta is not worried at all... It would be strange for Sophia, whose loyalty has reached full value, to harm him.

Seeing the cold sweat on Fletcher's forehead, Beta smiled inwardly, then threw a small purse to Bart and said: "Go to the stable and buy some horses. The ones that are good at walking long distances, and a carriage." , It doesn’t need to be too luxurious, but it must be bigger.”

Bart nodded, took the money bag and left.

Fletcher looked at Beta and took a slight breath. There was a bit of unwillingness in his eyes: "Can you reveal some of your origins?"

"Tell you, so that you can see if you have a chance to deal with me?" Beta raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Actually, you don't need to care too much, as long as you don't challenge my bottom line and fulfill your duties as deputy leader. , I won’t cause trouble for you.”

Fletcher laughed dryly, becoming more and more afraid of Beta. He felt that the pretty boy in front of him was simply a cunning old man who refused to accept both soft and hard food, as well as oil and salt.

While Beta and Fletcher were confronting each other, among the group of diplomats wearing regular uniforms, there was a woman about nineteen years old, looking at the two with interest.

Her face is not very pretty, and there are some freckles near her nose, which slightly ruins her otherwise unremarkable appearance. Fortunately, she has a unique intellectual temperament, which adds a lot to her points.

When she heard Beta say, "You can try it," she almost laughed out loud, but luckily she covered her mouth in time. However, Shirley suddenly turned her head and glanced at her, causing her to shrink back behind an acquaintance.

After a while, she stuck out her head and watched the development of the situation.

She saw Beta facing the famous bully Fletcher in the royal city. Not only did she have no scruples, but she fought back forcefully. She also saw the sexy Sophia, standing on the horseback, holding a dagger against Fletcher. Letcher's nape.

This scene made her feel greatly relieved. At the same time, she felt that Sophia was sexy, handsome, and a perfect woman.

Then she suddenly became Sophia's crush.

As time continued to pass, Fletcher sat on the horse, not daring to move or order the cavalry to leave. He could only wait obediently.

Soon the sun rose into the sky, and the hot sunlight shone down. Before long, Fletcher's body armor became hot. He felt like he was in a steamer, and hot sweat kept pouring from his forehead. His body emerged, and not long after, his hair was almost completely wet, and his whole body almost looked like it had been fished out of water.

He wanted to go to a shady place to rest, but Beta looked at him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to find fault and trouble in him. Besides, he didn't want to lose to the pretty boy on the other side.

But then Fletcher discovered that the pretty boy opposite didn't have a drop of sweat on his body. This little discovery made Fletcher's mood even worse.

Just when he thought he was about to suffer from heatstroke, he heard the pretty guy on the opposite side say: "Why are you standing there stupidly, don't you know how to take a rest in a cool place?"

When Fletcher heard this, he almost fainted with anger. However, he still rode his horse to the shadow of a tall building on the roadside, turned over and dismounted, and then two knights trotted over and hurriedly helped him take off his full body armor.

After the restraints were removed, Fletcher finally felt much lighter. He looked at his cavalry. These subordinates who were wearing full body armor were suffering the most. They all looked like they were about to collapse from the heat. The diplomatic officers were fine. They were wearing light clothes. Even if they were exposed to the sun for an extra hour or two, there wouldn't be any big problem.

That pretty boy is deliberately teasing himself! Fletcher stared at Beta, thinking that if he was given a chance to know the details of this guy, he would have to kill him.

At this time, Fletcher's confidant also took off his full body armor. He ran over and whispered beside Fletcher: "Master, that guy is not easy to mess with. It is better for us to listen to him in the future."

"What, Toca, do you know his details?" Fletcher asked angrily.

Toca blinked his little eyes, which were a little painful because of the sweat falling into them: "I don't know his details, but I have seen him. Young Master, you should know that I used to be the eldest prince...His Majesty the King's Cavalry A member of the team. I saw this man during the days of the king's battle for the throne. He was a subordinate of the second prince and caused a lot of trouble to His Majesty. Our cavalry team at that time was dead. Eight, I was lucky enough to survive.”

Fletcher was very surprised: "Have a grudge against His Majesty the King? Then why did His Majesty the King appoint him as the head of the envoy?"

At this time, another cavalryman came forward. His whole body smelled of sweat, which made Fletcher extremely unhappy.

But the cavalryman's words immediately aroused Fletcher's interest.

"Master, I don't know that pretty boy, but I know the woman who held you hostage just now... I'm from Dongfeng County, and I recognize her. She is the wife of the city lord of our Dongfeng City. I remember her name is Sophia."

Winterwind City? Fletcher has a certain understanding of Uther, a powerful lord. He knows that he loves his wife very much, and he also knows that his character is very impulsive and violent.

Since he is no match for the pretty boy Beta from the front, what about the detour from the side?

A noble city lord's wife ran away with a pretty boy and was still possessed by his shadow... What a good rumor this was. If Uther, the suffering master, knew about it, how would things develop?

Fletcher chuckled darkly.
