"Kill Lin Lei?" Bernard looked at his son, "Kalain, why kill this Lin Lei, he's just a stone carving master, does it have anything to do with the Debus family?"
Lin Lei's news of becoming a 7th rank dual system magician had not yet spread in the holy city of Fen Lai, and Bernard had been worried about his family matters for some time, so he was completely unaware of Lin Lei's message.
"Father, Lin Lei is only seventeen years old this year, and he has already carved out a stone sculpture at the level of a master craftsman. What's more... He is also the number one magical genius on the Jade Orchid Continent today, and in the history of the Jade Orchid Continent, he is also the second greatest genius in history, because at just seventeen years old, he is already a seventh-level dual-system magician."
"A 17-year-old dual-system magician?"
Bernard took a deep breath in, and with his intuition, he felt that this Lin Lei was a threat to his family.
"This Lin Lei, cannot stay." Bernard said directly.
Kalan's face involuntarily broke into a smile when he heard his father say that. However, Bernard furrowed his brow after just a moment: "No way, this is the second magical genius in history, and his future magical achievements will definitely be astonishing. A person of this caliber, how could the Bright Church, Dark Church, or the Four Great Empires possibly let him go? It's possible that Lin Lei has already established a relationship with the Bright Church by now."
"Kalan, this Lin Lei, cannot be killed." Bernard said seriously, looking at Kalan.
"Father, he's just a 7th level dual-system magician now." Kalan's face was full of urgency, and suddenly his voice dropped low, "Father, we don't need to take action ourselves to kill Lin Lei, we can hire someone with money, just like when we killed that court minister before."
"Bernard hesitated for a moment: 'Kalan, don't get involved in this matter anymore. I'll handle everything.'"
This Bernard also didn't say whether he killed Lin Lei, which made Carla feel annoyed and unable to calm down.
Bernard came into a hotel suite that had already been reserved, where an old man with a white beard was waiting.
"Mr. Bernard." The old man with a white beard smiled and greeted Bernard when he saw him.
Bernard nodded: "Mr. Stab, this time I came to see you, I want to ask two things of you."
"You're an old customer now." The white-bearded old man still smiled.
"Two things," Bernard said directly. "First, I hope you can destroy the work 'Dream Awakening' that is currently on display at the Prucks Museum." Bernard also knew that it was almost impossible to get the stone sculpture 'Dream Awakening' out of the Prucks Museum.
But it destroyed it, and the difficulty decreased a lot.
"Will 'Dream Awakening' be destroyed?" The old man with a white beard was taken aback.
"What's wrong, can't even your 'Military Knife' organization accomplish this?" Bernhard said with a light laugh.
Yulan Continent's four major assassin organizations, each with their own unique characteristics. The 'Military Knife' organization is extremely powerful. As long as they have enough gold coins, they even dare to assassinate the Red Robe Archbishop.
Of course, if you want to assassinate a strong person in the Holy Land, it would be too difficult.
"Are you afraid of offending the Procks Embassy?" Bernard asked, somewhat puzzled.
"No, we wouldn't care about a Pruxes' guild hall, you tell me the next thing first." The old man with white beard said suddenly.
The things that the killer organization does are originally offending people, even the Holy See dares to offend them, what else wouldn't they dare do.
"Secondly, I hope you can kill Lin Lei."
The old man with a white beard finally smiled helplessly and shook his head at Bernard, saying: "Mr. Bernard, please forgive us for being unable to accept your two tasks, we're really sorry."
"Unacceptable?" Bernard sprang to his feet, staring at the white-haired old man in incredulity. "Mr. Stabber, I know your capabilities. When did you become afraid of even this small task?" Bernard couldn't believe what he was hearing.
After all, the ministers of the four major empires and the red-robed archbishops dared to assassinate, but Lin Lei didn't dare to kill?
"It's not that we don't dare, but rather we don't want to take on this task. As for the reason, our organization doesn't need to answer that." The old man with a white beard turned cold.
Bernard hastily squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Stab, sorry. Since you are not willing to accept this task, I will take my leave."
The old man with white whiskers nodded his head.
When Bernard left, the old man with white beard slowly got up and muttered to himself: "This Bernard, what task is not good, must destroy a stone carving, and also kill Lin Lei. This thing I will report to the old instructor, today refused this task, the old instructor should be very happy."
The old man with a white beard is also a veteran-level task in the military knife organization.
But because he was too old, so he didn't do tasks anymore. He usually stayed in the super-large city of Finlay to enjoy his life and occasionally received some wealthy nobles.
As for his so-called 'old instructor'.
In the "Military Knife" organization, there is also a legendary figure, who is now the head of the Military Knife organization. Even when meeting this old instructor, one must be very polite and address him as "instructor". Probably no one in the entire Military Knife organization has an older qualification than this "old instructor".
Prucks Hall... Fourth day of the 'Dream Awakening' sculpture exhibition.
In the "Master Exhibition Hall", there is a very strange phenomenon. According to the rules of the Prucks Museum, every guest in the Master Exhibition Hall must leave after three minutes and let the next batch of guests enter. If you want to see it again, you need to line up again.
However, in the master exhibition hall, there is a guest who has been waiting in the master exhibition hall for almost two hours. This is completely out of line!
The guest looked like he was in his thirties or forties, wearing a loose long gown with his hands tucked into the sleeves and clasped together in front of his chest. His black hair was casually scattered around him, and he seemed to be enjoying the "Meng Xing" stone carving on display.
At this moment, several powerful guards standing in front of the 'Dream Awakening' stone statue were all whispering about the black-haired man.
"What's the relationship between this person and Mr. Ostoni, that he entrusted us not to drive this person away? He has been staying in the Master Exhibition Hall for so long, which is already against the rules."
"Never mind, let's just focus on keeping this stone carving safe."
"What's to fear? The magic array is set up around the stone statue in the pavilion, and it's impossible for anyone to snatch the statue away. After all, this statue is so large, who can take such a huge statue away under the nose of the pavilion?"
The guards who protected the stone carvings were still in a relaxed mood.
After all, it's very difficult to steal such a large stone carving, and destroying the stone carving is not beneficial to anyone, who would do that?
"Hmm, this stone carving is quite good, it really has a flavor to it." The man in his thirties furrowed his brow and carefully examined the stone carving "Dream Awakening", then glanced at the introduction posted next to it. "A 17-year-old kid, really makes one look forward to it."
Time flies, and the guests in the master's exhibition hall change one batch after another.
But this man has been staying here all along, carefully watching and admiring this 'Dream Awakening' stone carving.
"What a smooth line, texture, crisp and clean, without any hesitation." The man's face had a hint of intoxication, "Really fascinating, and this woman, that unique charm is completely carved out. Even more attractive than a real woman."
In the master exhibition hall, batches of guests came in one after another.
Many visitors lined up again and again, visiting again and again. For those who love stone carvings, masterpieces of this level are worth watching for a whole day without getting tired of it.
"Time's up, next batch!" the staff at the Prucks Exhibition Hall shouted loudly. Instantly, the guests inside had to leave through another door according to the rules, while the people in line entered from the front. Just as it was most chaotic - "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"... A series of explosions sounded, and instantly the entire exhibition hall was covered in a thick fog. The original guests' entrance was completely thrown into chaos, with terrified screams and angry curses erupting all around.
The guards protecting the stone carvings suddenly tensed up.
"Not good." The guards saw this and naturally knew what kind of thing was going to happen.
"Good grief."
The man in the loose long gown frowned, impatiently cursed, and his originally sleepy eyes casually swept forward. At this time, there were actually four figures rushing towards the 'Dream Awakening' stone carving at high speed.
The four figures rushed out at high speed, and several guards had already drawn their weapons. At the same time, many hidden masters in the entire Prucks Convention Center immediately rushed over. If this time the exhibits in the Master Exhibition Hall were destroyed, things would really be big.
"Ah!"
Among the four figures, one white figure was extremely strange, like a piece of paper, and easily dodged the guard's obstruction. At the same time, a black dagger appeared in his hand, directly stabbing towards the stone carving.
With its attacking power, one dagger down, the entire stone carving will shatter.
"Pong!" A layer of light screen floated in front of the stone carving of Meng Xing, and the dagger stabbed into the light screen without piercing it.
"Guard of Light?" The white figure muttered in a low voice, and then the dagger in his hand was stained with bright red blood. The dagger stabbed at the light shield again, and suddenly the light shield shattered with a "bang".
"Not good." The guards immediately tensed up, and even the defensive magic of a 7th-level Light System magician was easily broken through. Because the surroundings were too chaotic, many of the high-ranking masters in the guild didn't even have time to come and intervene.
But these several guards were blocked by three other people.
The man in loose long gown who had been motionless from the beginning suddenly became sharp-eyed.
"Whoosh!" - A very faint sound rang out, and at the same time, the white figure paused for a moment, then "splat", the whole person was split in two, with bright red intestines and organs spilling all over the ground. Even the three people who were blocking and guarding were also split in two at the same time, dead beyond recognition.
A moment later, the Prucks' mansion returned to calmness, but the man in the loose long gown slowly left the Prucks' mansion. Outside the Prucks' mansion was a horse-drawn carriage with one person standing beside it.
It was the old man who Bernard, Carla's father, had called 'Mr. Stiletto' from the beginning.
The white-haired old man walked up to the man in his thirties and said in a low, respectful tone: "Old Instructor."
"Well done this time." The man in his thirties or forties praised with a smile, and then said discontentedly in a low voice, "I didn't expect 'Blood Plum Blossom' to degenerate to this extent. Don't they know that destroying such precious artworks is a great sin?"
Blood Plum Blossom, one of the Four Great Assassins' Organizations along with 'Military Blade'.
"Old instructor, where are we going today?" The bayonet gentleman asked.
The man thought for a moment and said, "It's been a year or two since I've been to the Azure Water Paradise. In the past, it was always the girls from there who came to me, but this time... I'll go to the Azure Water Paradise myself, be with young girls, and my heart will feel younger too, haha..." As he said this, the man burst out laughing again.
"Yes, old instructor." The white-haired old man said respectfully. Mr. Stab had a big puzzle in his mind, that was how old the old instructor was. Because among the killers trained by the 'Military Knife' organization, Mr. Stab's batch of killers were the last batch trained by the 'old instructor'.
As for the first batch of killers trained by 'Lao Jiao Guan', I estimate that even if they weren't killed by others, they would have died of old age due to the long passage of time!
"What's on your mind? Hurry up." The man's voice came from inside the carriage.
Mr. Stab immediately drove the horse-drawn carriage towards Bishui Tianxiang.
