Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 437

Chapter 437

"Who is outside?" someone in the room asked .

Anfey did not answer . He only looked around . The room was decorated very simply . Besides a table and two chairs, there was nothing else . It was cold and humid in the room . Obviously, the fireplace was not lit . It was winter, so sleeping in the room without a fire was no different than sleeping outside .

The light was turned on in the room . An old man carefully opened the door with a torch in one hand and a knife in the other . He yelled, "What are you doing here? I am going to call the police . "

"Shinon, don’t you remember me?" Anfey said, smiling .

Shinon was shocked for a second . Now he was able to see the two unexpected guests with the help of the torch . The guy was handsome, while the woman looked sweet and beautiful . He thought Anfey and Suzanna were burglars . They did not look like they could be burglars . Hearing Anfey say his name, Shinon was even more surprised . "You are…"

"Didn’t I tell you my name when I asked you to see Anthony . I asked you to ask for some rewards from Anthony . I also left you some gold coins . Why are you still so poor?" Anfey said .

"Master?" Shinon could not help raising his voice and looking surprised . He immediately remembered something . "Steel pipe . "

Anfey was shocked for a second before he tried to remember the secret codes . "Stomach" Anfey did not have bad memories, but the problem was it had been so long since he talked to Shinon . He kind of remembered the secret code he told Shinon in case they made contact . He just could not remember exactly what the code was . He had to take a guess with deductive reasoning .

"You are the master!" Shinon rushed over and kneeled in front of Anfey . He had tossed the knife and torch to the side .

"What are you doing? Get up, get up . " Anfey held his hand out and pulled Shinon up .

"Master, I knew you would come back . " Shinon had tears of joy in his eyes .

Anfey looked perplexed . He had saved Shinon but did not expect anything from him in return . He had asked Shinon to see Anthony because he did not have other choices . He felt like he had a relationship with Shinon . Of course, that was how Anfey thought of them, but Shinon obvious felt differently than Anfey .

Seeing Shinon really appreciate Anfey, Anfey felt uneasy . He smiled and changed the subject . "Shinon, didn’t Anthony give you any reward? Look at your life now," Anfey said .

"Anthony was very generous . He gave me ten gold coins," Shinon said .

"Then why are you…" Anfey asked .

"Anthony was very nice to me because of you . Later he got to know my son was still in jail and asked his people to get my son out . " Shinon wiped his tears . "Later I had my son join the Glory mercenary group . I knew master would come back . Master told me to collect information about four super mercenary groups, so I gave all the money to my son to have him socialize with people . I hoped he could collect more information this way," Shinon said .

"You…" Anfey slightly shook his head .

"Master, are you coming back for something?" Shinon asked .

"Yes . " Anfey hesitated for a second . "Are you able to see Anthony?"

"Yes, Master . Anthony told me last time that I could see him directly if I have any information . " Shinon reached his hand into his shirt and took out a badge carved with an angel . "This is what Master Anthony gave me . "

"Great . " Anfey nodded . "Can you tell Anthony I want to see him . About the place and time? I will see him tomorrow before dawn in the woods ten miles south town . "

"Master, do you want me to see Anthony now?" Shinon asked .

"Yes, do you have time now?" Anfey asked .

"Sure . " Shinon did not want to wait . He turned around and was ready to walk out . He paused after a few steps . "Master, I still do not know your name . Do I need to tell Anthony your name?"

"You do not need to know my name," Anfey said .

"Ok," Shinon said .

Seeing Shinon disappear through the door, Suzanna said quietly, "Anfey, he is such an honest person . We should not have asked him to take such risks . " Suzanna felt bad for Shinon . It was dangerous to see Anthony . It would be great if he could talk with Anthony, but Shinon and his son would be in trouble if Anthony had any problems with Shinon .

"I know, so I was a little hesitant," Anfey said with concern .

"Why did you not ask those spies to see Anthony?" Suzanna asked .

"Do you still remember what happened in Zagreen City? You killed all the Knights and Prients of Light," Anfey said .

"Yes, what about it?" Suzanna asked .

"General Baery told me two of them were our people," Anfey said quietly . "You do not know how much money, effort, and time we have to put into training a qualified spy . Whatever happened in Zagreen City was no one’s fault, but I still felt a little guilty about it . I can not cause any more losses . "

Suzanna gave a slight sigh, but did not say anything .

"Let’s see what kind of luck Shinon has . After this, I won’t trouble him," Anfey said slowly . "He has a tough life . "

As the clock ticked away, Anfey sensed his surroundings with telepathy for a moment and stopped . Telepathy was not unlimited . He could not predict what would happen in the next few days, so he had to keep his fighting ability at its best . He could not waste any unnecessary telepathy .

Without knowing how much time had passed by, Anfey’s body suddenly stiffened . He jumped from the chair . Suzanna was shocked for a second and looked at Anfey in surprise . In her memory, Anfey rarely lost his cool .

"We were betrayed by Shinon," Anfey said coldly . He could sense a few hundred soldiers travelling toward them along the main road and some mages flying in the distance . There were not many mages on Pan Continent . The civilization on Pan Continent was not developed well enough to pay attention to environmental protection . Therefore, there were only few trees in White Mountain City, which greatly affected Anfey’s sensing ability . He could not have a full view of the city, but his sensing had proved everything .

"What to do?" What Suzanna said was not helping . Since they had been betrayed, they had to fight now . Suzanna’s question indicated she had listened completely to Anfey . In other words, Suzanna had become dependent on Anfey out of instinct .

"Kill them," Anfey said angrily, with hatred in his voice . It was not a big deal to be betrayed . The problem was he felt bad for Shinon not long ago, which made him feel he was played .

With a huge crash, the door in the yard was kicked to pieces . The sudden loud noise scared the soldiers who were jogging along the street outside the yard . Anfey and Suzanna walked to the street together . Cold wind with high humidity in the air helped Anfey regain his calm as wind blew on his face .

People were not machines, so they would make mistakes . Seeing the soldiers in armor with weapons, Anfey knew they must not be mercenaries . He could not sense the exact direction these soldiers were running . To be more specific, the soldiers were advancing along the main street . Obviously, whether or not these soldiers were looking for Anfey, they did not know his exact location .

Anfey was too impatient! He took a deep breath . He had asked Shinon to see Anthony and then noticed groups of soldiers in armor running nearby . In fact, probably most people would think they were betrayed, but how could Anfey define himself as a regular person . Anfey had not noticed that his mistakes were not just due to impatience . He did not recognized himself as special and different than others .

People’s personalities kept changing . Anfey was not the old Anfey anymore, especially after he killed Master Swordsman Deswright . Anfey’s confidence had reached an unprecedented level . If he dared to see Anthony, it meant he was not afraid of Anthony and Michael joining together to fight him . Of course, Anfey was still cautious, so he borrowed the pieces of War God Will Power from Hui Wei . Within Antimagic Terra, he was confident he could kill Archmage Michael with one strike .

Anfey did not realize what he imagined was based on one condition: he needed to attack first . The surprise attack on Michael indeed gave Anfey a high chance to kill him with one strike . In other words, his plan was made from the perspective of an assassin . However, killing a top power was not just about assassination . The plan was made by an assassin, while the fighting was done by a paladin . The deviation in planning usually would cause a far different result than planned . It was hard for Anfey to notice the miscalculation in his plans and real actions .

"Rush out . I will cover you," Anfey said quickly .

Suzanna gave a quick nod . She turned around and ran fast to the end of the street . She gradually released her combat power, which covered her whole body with a cloud of gold light .

A mage close to Anfey had released lightning magic . Of all magic series, Fire series magic was the most powerful, Space magic was the most mysterious, while Electronic series magic was difficult because of its unbelievably high speed .

With his strong telepathy plus the internal force running fast through his body, his anti-magic ability was supposed to be way better than others, but Anfey was not very lucky today . Lightning could not hurt him, but it shocked him . He could not move at all for two or three seconds .

The flashing lightning became a signal for the battle . Groups of soldiers in armors with weapons ran into Anfey’s sensing range . Anthony dared not to stop . He raised a gigantic Fire Shield over his head and adjusted his internal force to the maximum . He went after Suzanna .
