This defensive method gave Abel a lot of convenience. In his plan, there were 2 ways to attack and assassinate Prince Adolf. However, he would only use force as a last resort. Also, the time he could use force was too short, and he would be discovered by the city's defensive circle very quickly. Therefore, he might not be able to kill Prince Adolf in time.
What he wanted to do the most was to assassinate Prince Adolf, and the transformation necklace was the perfect way to hide. As long as he didn't expose himself, it would be very difficult to find him with just the circle and his presence. Also, as long as he could get close to Prince Adolf, a Knight captain would have a very high chance of successfully sneaking up on a rank 7 Druil when he was not on guard.
The carriage crossed a small bridge and finally stopped on a small island. Abel could smell the fragrance of flowers even from under the carriage. The sound of flowing water and the beautiful singing of the elven woman seemed to have blended into the environment.
"Back off, all of you. Let Mr. Avid in!" Abel knew this was Prince Adolf's steward. Afterward, more and more elves began to leave the bridge, and the elf named Avid also slowly got off the carriage.
Just as Avid was approaching the main building on the island, the carriage began to turn and leave. At that moment, Abel gently let go of his hand, and he fell to the ground. In a flash, he had already jumped into the bushes on the side of the road.
Abel magnified his intuition, and he sensed the presence of 3 elves. One of them was probably Prince Adolf, the other one was the prince's steward, and Mr. Avid, who had just walked into the main building on the island.
Abel didn't know what this mysterious contact was about, so he didn't make a move immediately. Instead, he took out the "protection circle of the valley" that he got last time. Although the 36 circle cards were a lot more than the intermediate protection circle that he always set up, the principle was the same. Also, since he had been setting up intermediate protection circles for a long time, he was already very familiar with them.
In a very short period of time, an intermediate level array was set up. It was made up of thirty-six array plates and one main array plate. It had the ability to protect and isolate aura. At this time, everything on the island was separated from the defensive array of the prince's villa.
In the central control room of the defensive magic circle of the prince's mansion, an elven guard curiously asked another elven guard, "Which important guests did His Highness receive today? I can sense that the auras of several lords have disappeared!"
Another elven guard said mysteriously, "How many guests can make His Highness set up a seclusion circle? You don't have to ask too much about this kind of thing!"
The elven guard who had spoken at the beginning of the conversation wondered who the important guests might be. The elven guards had no idea that the isolation array wasn't set up by the prince himself.
Abel quietly set up the "protection circle of the valley" and quietly walked towards the main building. Although the Knight was not a profession with high agility, his agility was far beyond the Knight Captains of the same rank. On top of that, he had specially put on a pair of soft leather boots for this trip, so his footsteps were completely silent.
"Mr. Arvid, the price of your guild is too high. It's just a trainee Druil, and you're already offering 5 million gold coins!" Prince Adolf's voice emerged from the hall with a hint of anger.
"The prestigious Prince Adolf, the person you want us to assassinate is a Master Alchemist. A Master Alchemist under the protection of the Grand Ducal Palace of Angstrom City. If we leak any information, we will be wiped out by the Grand Ducal Palace. Also, we can't get female elves to kill Master Bennett because no elves can guarantee that female elves will not go easy on Master Bennett. This will bring us a lot of trouble!" The old elf named Arvid explained in a calm voice.
"If that's the price, we might as well do it ourselves!" Prince Adolf lowered his voice.
"The prestigious Prince Adolf, if you don't want to hear this, how many men do you have in Angstrom City? Although your last operation was very secretive, I still got the news. An official Druil, 7 Knight Captains, and a few dozen members of your city's investigation department were killed!" Arvid said. He saw that Prince Adolf's face was not looking good, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "From the last attack, I think Master Bennett must have been hiding his true strength. If you want to kill him, you'll need at least twice as many men as you did last time. So this price is not that high!"
Abel listened to the people in the hall talking about the price of buying his life, and he couldn't help but feel hatred. Originally, he felt regret that Arvid had entered his assassination operation, and he had to kill him to keep it a secret. However, he found out that Arvid was the leader of an assassin organization.
"Of course, the prestigious Prince Adolf, if you can give me the status of a low rank noble, I will kill Master Bennett for you for free!" Arvid said with a greedy face.
"Mr. Arvid, so the reason you wanted to talk to me about the assassination was because you wanted to be a noble? That's easy. As long as you give me Bennett's head, I'll give you the title of a lord!" Prince Adolf said with a mocking look on his face. Another elf who went crazy for the status of a noble. If the assassination was successful, Arvid's assassin organization would not be able to escape the slaughter of Grand Duke Edwina. Even if they could escape, they would not be able to escape from Begro City.
No matter if it was Prince Adolf, Arvid, or the prince's steward, none of them noticed a shadow slipping into the hall like a fish. Abel's body was stuck to the ground. He only used his fingers to move. His body never left the shadow. From the shadow of the door, to the shadow of the table, to the shadow of the decorations, he was like a ghost. In a flash, he arrived at the screen behind Prince Adolf.
As the successor of Begro City, Prince Adolf must have a defensive magic item on him. As a Blacksmith Master, although Abel didn't know how to make defensive magic items, he still knew a lot about them. When the speed and power of an external force reached a critical point, this defensive magic item would be activated.
Also, when the damage was done, it would also trigger a defense. The strength of the defense would depend on the level of the magic item. Abel knew that the elves were not short of money, so he knew that Prince Adolf, the successor of Begro City, must have used the best defensive magic item.
The key to the assassination was to break through this defensive magic item. Abel used the simplest method, which was to use the Jade Tan Do, a dark gold dagger.
Jade Tan Do silently cut open a small hole on the screen that was made of high-quality silk. Through this small hole, Jade Tan Do slowly approached Prince Adolf's back. It was so slow that it couldn't activate any defensive magic items until Jade Tan Do pierced through Prince Adolf's clothes and made a small hole on his spine.
Prince Adolf, who was telling Arvid to move faster, suddenly felt a chill on his back. His defensive magic card was activated. However, he was already poisoned. Since the Jade Tan Do pierced through his spine, the poison instantly rushed into the center of his spine. His next move was delayed.
The Jade Tan Do added 180 poison damage for 4 seconds. It was a powerful attribute even for hell creatures, not to mention an elf with a low resistance to poison. Afterward, a golden combat qi flashed on the Jade Tan Do. Abel poured all of his strength into the Jade Tan Do.
