Working Prophet

Although the assassin was seriously injured and surrounded by heavy siege, he did not completely give up hope, and drew a dagger from his waist and held it in his hand.

But just as he swung out, someone grabbed his wrist.

"Remember to keep alive!" The female lord's voice sounded again.

Thomas nodded and used some strength on his hand. The assassin suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his wrist. He could no longer hold the dagger and could only let it fall to the ground.

Then his body swayed, almost falling along with him.

At the last moment, Thomas helped him up, and the face of the captain of the guard also changed slightly, "Woman?"

Speaking of which, Thomas had some vague suspicions when he first saw the assassin, because the person was very petite, either a teenager who had not yet grown up, or a woman.

The assassin didn't answer, because she had passed out.

Thomas then took off her hood, and the first thing he saw was a pair of small pointed ears on top of her head.

The guard captain took off her veil again, revealing a small and delicate face underneath, especially her eyes, which were still of a different color.

Thomas was startled for a moment, then carefully lifted her body while trying not to touch the terrible wound on her back, and carried her into the hotel.

The Hughes of the Shuangxiu Church immediately started to heal her injuries.

They first poured a lot of Yunnan Baiyao into the wound, then found iron needles used for sewing clothes, burned them on the fire, then put on thin threads and began to suture.

The female lord was very excited at the moment, and was pacing around the female assassin repeatedly.

It had only been a day since Merlin set up the trap, but unexpectedly, the assassin came to the door by himself again, and was caught right away.

Miss Rabbit then thought of something again and turned to look at Crow and the others, only to see that their faces were full of shock, as if they didn't understand what just happened.

Although the female lord suspected that these young knights of the third knight order were ordered by the Church of Life to cooperate with the female assassin tonight.

But it didn't look like they were faking it. They were probably just cooperating one-sidedly and were completely kept in the dark by Cornelia.

This is not surprising, after all, the Church of Life has many believers among the upper-class nobles of the capital, and the priestess does not even need to come forward in person. She can incite people through a certain noble family.

Thinking of this, Ilea was too lazy to talk to Crow and the others, and waved to them, "Let's go, you have nothing to do here."

The crow did not move when he heard this, but asked curiously, "That person just now was..."

"It has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to be beaten again, just mind your own business."

Crow was choked by these words and immediately became angry again.

These people relied on their family background to walk sideways in the king, but they were also used to being domineering and did not restrain themselves until they entered the Royal Knights.

As a result, I ate more food in one night than in the previous ten years combined.

But they couldn't talk back. They had already been repaired, but they were defeated by her men before they could really fight against the female lord.

Any more words at this time will only bring humiliation to oneself, so the crow only left one sentence.

"Ilea, the dragon-slaying knight of the Arias family, I remember it. I look forward to meeting you again in the tournament."

After saying that, he mounted his horse again and disappeared into the night with his five companions.

As for the female lord, she has become numb to this threat. She has already figured out that this is the territory of the Church of Life. From the moment she sets foot on this land, she can't even think about making any friends.

Anyway, as long as His Majesty the Emperor continued to like her, at least on the surface, no one would dare to attack her. Even the Cornelia priest had to consider Edward II's mood when he attacked her.

Although the emperor obeyed the words of the priestess and asked everyone to donate money to cast a bronze statue of the goddess, after all, this empire belonged to the Vespasian family, not the Church of Life.

Thinking of the Church of Life, Ilea's attention returned to the female assassin.

The last time the latter sneaked into her room was to place a wooden sculpture and bring a warning. What was the purpose of sneaking in this time?

The female lord thought for a while and decided that it was better not to waste her brains and just wait for the person to wake up and interrogate him directly. This is why she must keep Thomas alive.

But at this moment, the female assassin was still in a coma, so Miss Rabbit didn't wait and went back to the house to sleep.

She slept like this until early morning, and the two human body sensors in the room did not ring again.

After having a full sleep, the female lord felt refreshed, and her worries about participating in the martial arts competition seemed to have disappeared a lot.

Then she came to the room where the female assassin was locked up.

The two Arias family guards guarding the door saluted her immediately after seeing her. Ilea nodded, and then asked casually, "Who is watching in the house?"

"It's Captain Thomas," one of the guards replied.

"Thomas? When did he come?"

"Captain, he's been there all night."

The female lord was stunned when she heard this, "Ha, doesn't that mean he didn't sleep all night? Does this guy want to violate the precepts of double holiday? He actually plans to work all day without threatening his life."

"Lady Ilea, I didn't work all day straight." Thomas's voice came from inside the house, "I didn't accompany you to the palace yesterday morning because I was on vacation."

"Then your working hours are too high, right?" Miss Rabbit said as she opened the door and entered the house.

He saw his captain sitting upright beside the bed, staring intently at the figure on the bed.

"Not yet. Because after the sun rises, it is already a new day. As long as I rest before noon, it will not be considered a breach of the precept."

"Can you still count it like this?" The female lord touched her chin and said with a suspicious look on her face, "And you don't have to do it by looking at people."

"Ah, the opponent is an assassin after all, and his movements are flexible and his steps are very light, which is beyond the scope of common sense. He probably drank the blood potion, so he can't be careless."

"Is that so?" the female lord said again, "Then why don't you just tie up her hands and feet?"

Thomas was startled, "This... I didn't expect that."

"That shouldn't be the case. Aren't you always very cautious? If you don't tie her up, what if she suddenly jumps up and hurts someone while pretending to be asleep?"

"Probably not, she is so injured."

"It's always right to be careful. I'll ask someone to get the rope and switch shifts with you. You have to rest quickly." After finishing speaking, Miss Rabbit walked out of the house.

At this moment, the female assassin, who was still in a coma, suddenly opened her eyes and jumped up from the bed.

But the next moment she was grabbed by the neck by Thomas on the side, and then she was thrown into the wall reflexively by the guard captain.
