Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 95

Chapter 95
For the next three days, Anfey did not come out of his room at all . Niya had to take care of the little unicorn for him . Christian and others thought Anfey had dedicated himself to practicing magic . The non-stop magic surges from his room were the evidence . They did not go and bother him .


Christian thought Anfey would exhaust himself from the nonstop practice . Before he decided to check on Anfey on evening of the the third day, Anfey had already come out of his room . Christian was only seven or eight steps away from Anfey’s room when he saw Anfey show up at the door of his room . He was surprised and hurried over to Anfey . "Anfey, are you alright?"
"I am good . " Anfey looked reenergized . It seemed that his magic skills had improved a lot .
"Anfey, don’t practice magic this way next time . Don't you remember what you have told me about alternating…?" Christian said .
"Alternating work and relaxation is the key to learning . " Anfey smiled .
"Right, I meant to say that," Christian said sincerely . If he had known Anfey had drunk a small bottle of unicorn blood, he would have been very mad . Sometimes it was good to be ignorant .
"Anything happen in the past few days?" Anfey asked .
"Everybody followed your orders and no one went out . Hmm, Vonmerge should have a lot of information . He came by several times . He saw you in training so he did not interrupt you," Christian said .
"Did Hui Wei behave for the past few days? Did he try to escape?" Anfey asked .
"He has been good . His Dimensional Ring is with you . How could he escape without the ring? I bet there is a lot more good stuff in it . Maybe the secret of the Magic Forbidden Field is in it . " Christian smiled . Hui Wei looked painful when he had to give away the Scroll of Temporal Teleportation . How could a poor guy with both magic and combat powers, who had to work with orcs, have a such valuable magic scroll? It inevitably made people wonder about his identity, where he was from, and the secrets in his Dimensional Ring .
With Anfey’s temperament, if Hui Wei had told Anfey his secrets, he felt there was a good chance Anfey would kill him . Hui Wei was very smart . Generally, he did whatever he was asked to do . He never challenged Anfey nor caused any trouble for Anfey’s legion . He had behaved well, but never opened his mouth about the secrets of the Magic Forbidden Field .
Yet at that time, even if Hui Wei had told Anfey the secret of the Magic Forbidden Field, Anfey would not have killed him . Nobody knew how many secrets he held onto . Anfey would not want to kill him before he could get all the secrets out of Hui Wei .
Anfey heard someone walking upstairs . It was Suzanna walking upstairs with Shally . Today Suzanna did not wear leather armor . She wore a white dress . The dress was a little bit below her knees . The clear and delicate skin of her lower legs showed . She wore a pair of boots made of flash leopard . The black shoe ties on the boots wrapped around her lower legs . She looked sexy with those black shoelaces . Suzanna also had a little bit of makeup on . She looked so adorable with the long and thick eyelashes . She looked at Shally with a warm smile . Her gold earrings sparkled in her black shiny hair .
Suzanna looked feminine, but everyone knew the power hidden underneath this feminine appearance .
Under normal conditions, it would only take one or two years to make a name for herself . There would be people wanting her to be her aides . She was already a senior swordswoman even before she was twenty years old . No one would doubt that she would be a master swordswoman someday . She had reached to a level that many people could not reach in their whole life . People knew she would become a master swordswoman someday, but the question would be how many more years it would take her .


Anfey knew he was lucky to get to know Saul and Ernest after he came to this world . He was also fortunate to know Suzanna .
"Anfey, you finally came out . " Suzanna smiled .

"Brother Anfey, take it . " Shally held a hot dessert in front of her .
"I am not hungry yet . You can have it, Shally . " Anfey caressed Shally’s head . This was a way to get Suzanna to like him . If he touched Suzanna’s head, she probably would have punched him . Shally was so much easier to maneuver .
Anfy had been the one caring about Shally the most, sometimes even more than her sister since Shally joined Anfey’s legion . He read stories to Shally, played games with her, and even "shamelessly" challenged her with magic powers . Shally did not have strong desire to win . She was happy if someone would play with her . It did not matter to her whether she was winning . To Shally, practicing magic with Anfey was a game . She was not as serious as Anfey, who wanted to see who was better with magic power .
Anfey did not know why he glanced at Suzanna’s legs . He did look at other places right away . "What a shame . It would be perfect with a pair of high heels and shorter skirt," Anfey thought to himself .
Suzanna was a senior swordswoman . It was not difficult for her to catch Anfey glancing at her legs, even though he looked away quickly . Suzanna looked down at her own legs and then she blushed .


Most times, people could not forget something even though they tried . Every time when Anfey saw Suzanna’s skin showing, or even heard Niya asking her to take a bath, he could not help thinking of that night with Suzanna . Sometimes he would secretly glanced at Suzanna . Suzanna was even worse than Anfey . Every time she saw Anfey smiling, she would think about that night . There was no one to blame, since Anfey’s smile had never changed . The angle he pulled his mouth and the number of teeth he showed were always the same . It seemed that he wore a mask, and his facial expression would never change . When she had been caught by him that night, he gave her the same kind of smile . Later when they formed a legion, he smiled the same way when they discussed issues for the legion . Suzanna could not help thinking about that night . She had developed a conditioned response .
From a psychological point of view, to get rid of this conditioned response, it would have been better for her to be away from Anfey . If she did not see Anfey’s smiles, she would forget about it in few years . However, there could be another possibility: If Suzanna kept recalling Anfey’s smiles, this psychological barrier could get worse .
"Suzanna, I have made your leather armor . Huh, Anfey, you are here . " Anfey heard Hagan talking behind him and then he asked, "Where is my stuff?"
"Wait a second . " Hagan tucked his head back to the room and walked out of the room a minute later with a package in his hand .
Anfey gently opened the package . There were almost a hundred arrowheads . About twenty of them were thick and snowy white . They were made of manticore’s teeth . The rest of the arrow heads were comparatively smaller and light blue . They were made of wyverns’ teeth . Anfey knew these arrows were quite powerful . The former arrowheads could explode, and the latter ones were poisonous and could kill anyone unless that person carried the detoxing medicine made from wyvern’s gallbladders .
These arrowheads were great, but they were all disposable and a hundred of them were far from enough . Anfey put the arrowheads in his Dimensional Ring and then he grabbed a knife . Maybe it should not be called a knife anymore . It looked more like an awl because it did not have any blades . It could only be used to thrust, not slay . The tip of the knife looked very sharp . Anfey touched it with his finger .
"Don’t…" Hagan screamed .
Hagan reminded Anfey a little too late . Anfey felt the pain on his finger . His finger was cut by the knife and then he felt an unusual feeling . His blood circulation and heartbeat slowed down . He felt chest pain, exhaustion, dizziness . He could not even move any of his fingers . These were symptoms of paralysis .
Suddenly, Anfey felt something different . The spirit crystal in his chest started to tremble . Anfey knew well that it was fighting with the paralysis . In about five seconds, the symptoms of paralysis disappeared and the spirit crystal calmed down . It seemed nothing had happened .
"It’s so wasteful!" Hagan shouted . "I have changed the properties of the knife and increased the rate of paralysis, but it also shortens the lifespan of the knife . You shouldn’t have tested it on yourself . Every time you use the knife, its lifespan will get shorter . "
"What is the rate of paralysis?" Anfey felt rejuvenated . He thought he was lucky to have a knife with such a strong paralyzing effect . He gave credit to Hagan .
"About eighty percent, or even higher, but it could only be used 30 times at most . You just wasted one . " Hagan rolled his eyes . He was not too happy with Anfey wasting his product .
"Great, wonderful!" Anfey looked happy . He patted Hagan’s shoulder forcefully .
Christian and others looked at Anfey in surprise, because Anfey used to have only three facial expressions: frown, calm and smile . They all had different meanings . This time Anfey seemed he had lost himself . This was their first time to see him losing himself .
They did not know how much eighty percent paralyzing effect meant to Anfey . It meant that he could kill twenty tough opponents . Hagan had helped Anfey with his biggest problem . How could he not be happy? He had taken the tears of stars for a while, which had gradually changed Anfey’s personality in an unnoticeable way . Anfey used to hide his emotions well, but this time he lost himself a little bit .
