Chapter 470
Dudian didn't think that the 'speaker' would give him a task before the seat under his buttocks is heated: "Kill 'Marley' at 7 o'clock tonight . A three star alchemist have to be used for assassination . "
"Target location, Falkland Street 12 . . . "
There were no superfluous words in addition to the task within the content .
"The task to kill the 'Marley' seems an easy one but the identity and the number of assassins . . . " Dudian narrowed his eyes: "I would like to know who this 'Marley' is . . . "
Dudian lit up and burned the letter . He didn't want to expose the identity of the speaker . Although the writing wouldn't be Pope's own handwriting but one of his henchmen but still being a bit cautious won't hurt .
"HAwkeye . " Dudian called Hawkeye after the ashes were extinguished .
Hawkeye came in: "Elder, do you have any order?"
"Investigate someone called 'Marley' who lives on Falkland street . " Dudian commanded .
It didn't take long for Hawkeye return: "Elder we have checked out . Marley is a history professor and 58 years old this year . He was born in a declining knight family . His grandfather was a silver knight and the family owns twenty acres of land . His father has passed away and his mother lived in his hometown . He temporarily resides in Falkland street 12 . . . "
Hawkeye paused at this point and looked at Dudian: "It seems that he is a believer of nature . "
Dudian didn't think that they could get such clear information about a person in such a short time . He was surprised by dark church's intelligence network: "Natura? Does it means that he doesn't believe in god?"
"Yes . " Hawkeye nodded: "They don't believe in neither the god of light or our great gods . They always utter blashpemous words such as 'material' . They were quite low-key until two years ago . But they have been more active recently . We had several frictions with believers of nature but didn't have any fierce conflict . "
"Why?"
"According to Elder Kerry the Holy Church would be more interested in dealing with them than us . So we left them to Holy Church . " Hawkeye responded .
Dudian nodded . It meant that Kerry wasn't a person sent by the Monastery but someone who had moved the stairs from the bottom . The Monastery used this move to place him inside the dark church and eradicated a real believer of the dark church .
"Is there any three star alchemist who is free?" Dudian asked .
Hawkeye pondered for a moment: "There are few . "
"Get one and let him take nine people . We will go to kill this Marley at six o'clock this evening . " Dudian ordered .
Hawkeye was surprised: "Do you want to personally kill him?"
"At the same time I'll get to know what this teachings about nature is . . . " Dudian casually said .
Dudian was pondering about something when he remembered the animal glue mask . He took it from the box . He couldn't always use proper masks as there could be someone who could imitate his body language and voice to convey fake commands . The consequences would be unpredictable .
The Night King had sent him the vial with regenerative powers so he wasn't worried about anything . He removed his mask and put on the animal glue mask .
IT was like a soft layer of skin that was attached to his face . It seemed to penetrate the pores on his face . He looked at the mirror . His appearance has actually change into the face of another person . The opposite side had to concentrate to see that the pores were different than on usual human face .
Dudian began to knead his face . He saw that his appearance was changing .
"It's amazing that the Monastery have designed something like this . " Dudian saw that his face had totally changed . It was an artifact for any criminal!
However once the disciplinary knights got involved the situation would change . You couldn't escape from the tracing and tracking abilities that they held just by changing the face . "
"I can't change my face to an old man's as my voice will spill out that it's a mask . " Dudian looked at the mirror .
Time passed .
Six o'clock .
Trunn was outside the manor beside a carriage with nine of his friends . He took out the pocket watch to check the time once in a while . He was excited and tense since afternoon . He didn't think that he could travel with an elder to do a task . It was like a dream . The task wasn't difficult too!
He knew that if he could have the backing of an elder then it was possible to get promoted once again .
His friends rushed to beg him to choose them . They offered him gifts to get a place in the squad . However he didn't pick any people who were three star alchemists like him but acquaintances from the bottom level .
Two people came out of the manor as Trunn nervously waited . His eyes lit up as he recognized Hawkeye . He was secretary of the previous elder too . Even five-star alchemists couldn't neglect him and give him face because of his identity .
Trunn's eyes fell onto the body of a young man who looked 20 years old . The man had black hair and moist eyes . He had unique temperament .
"Elder!" Trunn whispered in a respectful tone as he saluted Dudian .
Dudian wrinkled his brows .
Hawkeye looked at Trunn: "Don't you have brains?! We are outside!"
Trunn looked at dudian: "I'm sorry . . . I couldn't help . . . "
Dudian was lazy to listen to Trunn: "Is everyone ready?"
"Yes . " Trunn replied .
Dudian nodded and sat into the compartment .
Hawkeye said in a tone full of worry: "Shouldn't I accompany you?"
"No need, go back . " Dudian closed the door .
Trunn sat at coachman's place and winked at his friends . All of them sat on the carriage . Trunn whispered: "Should we go now?"
"Yes . "
Trunn drove the carriage .
The carriage deliberately went through few streets before reaching Falkland street .
It stopped at the corner of Falkland Street 12 . Trunn jumped off the carriage and went towards the compartment: "Should we begin now?" He didn't want to make any mistakes so he speak as low as he could .
Dudian opened the door and looked at the tall building . There seemed to be two people in the building . One of them was walking around and it seemed that the person was a servant . The other was sitting and that one was their target - "Marley . "
"Clean up the scene so that Holy Church can't find traces . " Dudian continued: "I'll come out soon . No one is allowed inside without my permission . "
"Yes . " Trunn laughed .
Dudian strode to the door and gentle knocked the door .
An ordinary middle-aged woman wearing servant's clothing opened the door and looked at Dudian in puzzled manner: "Who are you?"
"I'm looking for Mr Marley . " Dudian replied .
"Come in then . Mr . Marley is in study room on second floor . I'll call him for you . " The middle-aged woman handed slippers to Dudian .
Dudian put on slippers and entered the living room . He was surprised to see that the living room was full of bookshelves .
"Mr . Marley will be here in five minutes . " The middle-aged woman came down and poured tea for Dudian .
Dudian thanked her as he quietly waited .
Middle-aged woman wiped the place while she looked at Dudian from time to time .
Dudian felt that making his face too handsome had brought some problems onto him .
Footsteps echoed after few minutes . A man with mixed white and black hair came down . He looked at Dudian who was sitting on the sofa . He couldn't get who Dudian was so he put on the glass to check him out: "Who are you?"
Dudian smiled: "Mr Marley . Hello, its our first meeting . I'm an elder of the Dark Church!"
Marley was startled and frozen at the same time .
It was the first time he was meeting a member of the dark church in open . Moreover the other side wasn't just any member but an elder .
"Ah . " The middle-aged woman was stunned too . It was very difficult to believe that the handsome young man on the sofa had such a shady background .
However she wasn't able to utter a word before the cracking sound of her neck bones echoed . Her lifeless body fell down as blood splashed out .
Dudian moved his arm . It seemed that he was holding onto something but it was gone .
The plates that were beside the middle-aged woman were dyed in red .
Dudian turned back to sit on sofa . Marley couldn't utter a word for a while .
"You-you!" Marley's face turned pale as he looked at the corpse of the woman on the ground . He clenched his fists but there was fear in his tone: "What the hell are you doing?"
