Ch. 119 - Old Acquaintance

Adele only saw a golden light in front of her eyes! The hairs on her body immediately stood on end! An unspeakable feeling of fear came over her! Subconsciously, her hand returned to protect herself, and her body backed up to the corner of the wall like light smoke! Just as Adele's body was retreating, the quilt on Paladin's body was lifted up, and the two light magic arrows grasped in his hand were immediately thrown out! However, this kind of attack was naturally useless to the agile Adele. Although she was surprised that this Paladin was able to instantly fire magic arrows, without the slightest hesitation, she flipped in mid-air and easily avoided this magic.

"Boom Boom!" Before Adele could breathe a sigh of relief, two deafening explosions immediately sounded behind her! Slightly glancing through the afterglow, Adele immediately felt her heart vibrate violently! This mediocre magic arrow had actually smashed through two incomparably huge holes in the front wall! It even blew the wall of the next room to smithereens! That unlucky guy's blood dyed the next door red!

It was good that Adele was not an idle person, the power of this Paladin's magic was far beyond her expectations. In the H-assassin Alliance, the saying that taught assassins was, what does one do to face a mage they can't resist head on? The answer was, kill the mage before he casts a spell. Without any hesitation! Adele's body that was in mid-air and gently landed on the ground, her toes just pointing on the floor that was covered with wood shavings, and she immediately launched her body, her body brought up a series of residual shadows, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Paladin, who was retracting his hand and crouching down naked! The dagger in her hand stabbed at Paladin's vitals in a tricky manner!

The blade in her hand reflected the light of the moon outside the window and made a fierce cracking sound. Seeing the neck of this Paladin, whose eyes exploded with golden light, close at hand. About to gain the ultimate victory, this Paladin suddenly laughed hideously.

Thump!!! The dagger in Adele's hand suddenly let out a miserable wailing sound. She was shocked to see that just three feet in front of Paladin's body, a circle of golden ripples suddenly struck the tip of the dagger that had stabbed past him, spreading out in all directions quickly. "A magic shield! How is that possible!"

Adele shouted so in her heart. The force of the full force stab was still depleted. Looking at Paladin's hideous smile, Adele's intuition told her that leaning on this monster any longer would do absolutely no good! Obviously Adele no longer had time to consider why her own dagger, however, was blocked by a magic shield that could only defend against magic. Driven by a huge sense of crisis at the moment, Adele made a choice that she couldn't regret.

Adele threw down the dagger without hesitation, and took a few steps back to escape. Obviously, this Paladin, who thought he knew everything, was far beyond his imagination. "Idiot!" Just as Adele flew back and wanted to leave, Paladin, who was watching all this, finally couldn't help but let out a sneer! Before the words were finished, as Paladin opened his hands and flew behind Adele who was retreating, dozens of golden light beams suddenly appeared out of thin air! Standing staggered around like a spider's web. A prison was formed.

As soon as Adele, who was retreating, saw this strange magic, she instinctively took another dagger from her waist and wanted to cut it. But to her dismay, as soon as the dagger forged from fine fine iron touched these golden beams of light, it immediately turned red and melted into molten iron! "What kind of magic is this!" Adele's heart sank, muttering a shocked word on her lips, and before she could react, ten golden chains suddenly surfaced around her body, instantly tying her up in knots!

Under the drastic change in color, Adele felt Paladin's breath behind her, and subconsciously turned her body for a split second, a powerful hand flew over, and ruthlessly punched her in the abdomen. Adele glanced in pain, and knelt down on the ground weakly, with big teardrops slowly falling down. Suddenly, it was dark in front of her body, Adele strained to raise her head, but did not expect Paladin to directly grab a hand over her hair to lift it up, to make her head up. "Ooh, is this an assassin? It's weaker than expected. Say, who paid to kill me. I'll pay triple."

Listening to the brazen words of this Paladin, Adele's vision became clear after the severe pain gradually disappeared. The first thing that caught her eye was a cold and playful smiling face. Under a head of black hair, scornful eyes gleamed. After a moment! Adele looked at this Paladin who she met for the first time, and she felt a sense of déjà vu. Looking at the familiar face, she murmured in surprise, "Paladin?"

At once, a tidal wave of memories all came flooding back! That Paladin handyman who was scolded as a waste and a fool in the FreeMason Federation. That idiot who looked dumb all day long, with eyes that were devoid of emotion! Such a resemblance, it was practically the same! The only difference was that this person didn't have the slightest hint of a dumb look at all. The luster contained in that pair of ordinary eyes made Adele shiver unnaturally. That was why Adele suspected that she was recognizing the wrong person.

"Hm?" Hearing this assassin call his name. Paladin frowned slightly and reached out his other hand but down Adele's black mask. Revealing that delicate and colorful face out. Upon seeing this face, Paladin's color changed greatly! How could he forget the nearly twenty years of humiliating life of the FreeMason Federation? He also remembered that this woman who clearly served as a mentor in the federation had published her thesis, and he himself had purposely stolen the copy from the library!

"Did the FreeMason Federation realize what I did? No, if they really knew that I had gotten the Ripley Scroll, there's no way they would have sent just such a weakling against me. And no matter how you look at it, she is an assassin who is deeply embedded in assassination! In other words, she's an assassin who lurked in the Union, and then knew about the scroll and suspected me? To spy on me? Then could it be that there are also her companions around!" All sorts of thoughts spun rapidly in his mind. Paladin only felt a fog enveloping him. But no matter what, he absolutely can not let this assassin go!

"Mentor Adele, why are you here, holding a dagger to kill me?" Paladin said so with eeriness, but it made Adele, who had just been self-doubting, instantly certain that this person whose face was terrifying giving a cold undertone was none other than that idiotic handyman in the Union! "Impossible, impossible!" As if she had seen a ghost, Adele let out an incredulous shout with rounded eyes, "Aren't you an idiot? How is it possible, how is it possible that you escaped from that turmoil! And became an Auxiliary Bishop, borrowing someone else's name!"

Adele shivered in a paroxysm, and that was due to the disgust and fear of this Paladin. A dumb child had managed to feign madness and spend twenty years in the Union! And now came to steal someone else's identity to become a priest! The city was extremely deep, and the intentions were extremely poisonous! Paladin's face gradually put on a fierce smile, reaching out his hand and clasping Adele's delicate neck, lifting her into mid-air: ''I've heard that there's a kind of assassin that's the most difficult to deal with. H-assassin Alliance, is this where you come from? Mentor Adele. Or maybe I need to ask why you came to kill me and why you sneaked into the Union. Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, only in your death. I believe you don't want to die either."

Gradually regaining her composure, Adele glared at Paladin with a death glare. Not only did she not change color because of Paladin's threat, but instead recognized that Paladin's knowledge was limited, and immediately said in a tit-for-tat manner, "I also have to ask, who taught you this magic. It doesn't belong to the four elemental magic's Border at all, not to mention that although it looks the same, this kind of power is not something that can be inflicted by the sacred magic possessed by the Holy See!"

Adele glanced at the golden beam of light around her, not budging an inch. However, as soon as her words fell, Paladin's hands immediately increased in strength, only causing Adele to immediately turn red and purple and let out a burst of uncomfortable gasps. One could even hear the wailing clicks of that delicate neck under Paladin's tremendous force. However, she saw Paladin say with a disdainful face, ''Haven't you seen the situation clearly? My honorable assassin lady." "Ah. Ah. Ah." Adele's face became more and more black and purple, her hands swinging around in a helpless and panicked manner, opening that small mouth and spitting out her tongue. It was only then that Paladin loosened his grip. Only then Adele was able to gasp for air.

Only after Adele's face gradually recovered and tears of pain flowed from the corners of her eyes did Paladin ask with a sullen face, "Answer my question, you damned woman! If this drags on any longer, I won't be able to keep you alive after the castle guards notice this noise."
