Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Novel - Chapter 314
314 Magical Hero
“You’re saying that something inside is attracting you?”
“Yes, Father. This feeling is very strange, but it’s very intimate. That thing must be related to me. It’s what I need and is close to me…”
Horus’s thick electronic voice sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
It said that something was summoning it in the king’s mausoleum.
!!
—I think this is neither Egypt nor the Hoover Dam. What’s calling you?
Era?
However, this still attracted Kang De’s attention.
This matter was already very strange.
A mercenary had come all the way to this godforsaken place and was hired by a poor country like Gambia. They were probably simply throwing money to help others fight a war. They had used Comoros as a trap and did not hesitate to hit themselves or start a war to attract the attention of international public opinion. They had even been hinted at and instructed by the French government to transport materials, consume their military strength, and mobilize so many human, material, and financial resources… What was their goal?
—Come to this king’s mausoleum and fight.
Just to f*cking fight?
There was only one explanation for this confusing behavior, and that was that there were huge benefits hidden in the mausoleum that was enough to make this mercenary take the risk and even make the West French government behind him drool.
Horus’s strange perception confirmed this guess.
The Transformer was a strange lifeform that Kang De had awakened by using the white fog and the power of the Fire Thief. If a living being like it sensed a certain summon, it meant that the thing in the tomb must be extraordinary.
Not bad.
Kang De revealed a cold smile.
Even without his iron son, Kang De would have investigated this matter.
What? Just save Father? Then pretend that nothing had happened?
What a joke.
How could it be so easy?
It was fine if these b*stards started a war. After all, they were far away in Africa and had an egg-like relationship with him. However, these animals kidnapped his father at such a critical moment, causing Kang De and the others to be exhausted from running and advancing into the battle. They were in such a sorry state and were almost crazy. This score had to be settled clearly.
Saving his father was only his first mission.
Be it mercenaries, Bob, or even the French government, everything they wanted to do in Comoros, be it a coup or a backlash, no matter what they wanted to do, had to be completely ruined!
After ensuring the safety of his relatives, he immediately rushed to help Red Maple City. After saving both sides, he would free his hands and kill all the people involved in starting the battle of Comoros.
Kang De had already remembered it clearly in the small notebook.
As for now that Horus had a strange perception, he had to arrange it even more.
“Since you think the treasure inside is fated with you,” Kang De said, “it’s ours.”
“…Thank you, Father.” Horus covered his chest and whispered, “This is the first… thing I’ve had the urge to obtain no matter what since I was born.”
“Then you have to calm down. Be good and wait where you are. Don’t argue, don’t scream, and don’t be disobedient. Wait for Daddy to bring back the gift you want.”
Kang De glanced in the direction of the mausoleum. “I’m afraid the space inside is narrow and you can’t use it. Moreover, the commotion is too great and it’s easy to alert the enemy… Stay here and wait for my signal.”
“Understood.”
“Then…” Kang De put on the hood. “Assassin’s Creed: Comoros begins now.”
Horus turned back into the Hummer and lowered his voice. “Father, you look really handsome.”
How much did this guy want the things in the mausoleum? He was already flattering him.
Kang De snorted, but he subconsciously stretched his head over and stared at the rearview mirror of the Hummer.
His equipment was indeed very flashy.
There was a full set of stealth equipment in the equipment bag Hong San had collected.
The raw materials were woven from shadows spun by the arcane loom. They were strategic resources of the Underground City and the Brotherhood. They were woven by top alchemists into the Shadow Lone Equipment Set, a top-notch equipment that assassins dreamed of.
It could increase the use of his physical fitness and agility. It could continuously recover his stamina and increase his vitality at all times. It could engrave sound absorption diagrams and also have a powerful ability to resist stabbing and cutting… There were many powerful functions. The design was exquisite and was specially made for top assassins.
Such a treasure was difficult to obtain, but as one of the gifts, it was sent to Valentine by the envoy of the Brotherhood. It was only a gift and did not need any repayment or promise.
“This is only a gift of congratulations and homage from the Brotherhood. We’re very happy that there’s another top potential client in the world. Moreover, I’m very honored to tell you that after the unanimous approval of the Brotherhood’s mentors, we’ve already added your noble name to the Book of Life immediately.”
“From now on, the Brotherhood will no longer accept any assassination missions aimed at you and your immediate relatives and subordinates. If you need anything, we’ll send experienced masters and elites to be in charge of the security of the target you or you specify and only charge the lowest cost price.”
“We’re the Brotherhood. We’re all-pervasive killing blades. We’re also an invulnerable protective shield. No one knows assassination better than us. Correspondingly, no one knows how to defend against assassination better than us. If you’re willing to give us a chance, we’ll prove that this is true.”
“Greetings again, great Forbidden Spell Envoy.”
“We’ll wait. We’ll look forward to it.”
Elegant and humble, calm and reserved, the Brotherhood handed him an olive branch.
This was the first large continent-level faction to extend a hand of friendship to Kang De after the battle of Valentine.
According to Hong San, the assassins of the Brotherhood were mainly pragmatists and businessmen. They immediately realized the value Kang De had displayed, the new huge faction that was about to be built around him, and the far-reaching impact Kang De’s interference would have on the Goethe war and even the situation on the continent. New military confrontations, new conflicts, new blood, and deaths.
Therefore, with the advantage of first-hand information and the shameless and fast decision of the pragmatists, they immediately handed over an olive branch and offered friendship and celebration.
This was very reasonable. The first continent-level factions to rush over to be familiar with Kang De, other than the Brotherhood, were the alliance of the Military Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Mercenary Guild, the Warlock Association… and so on. They also smelled their favorite smell.
As for writing his name on the Book of Life and permanently rejecting the related assassination business… This sounded very powerful, but it was only relatively vain. It was just that it sounded better to say.
This not-to-kill list included the ruler of the human world, the emperor of the Holy Empire, the hegemon of the world, the Phoenix King of the Twilight Dynasty, the Eastern Emperor, the Cathayan Emperor, the City Lord of the War God City, the chairman of the Arcane Council, the Mountain King, the current Dragon Emperor, and so on…
There was probably only one reason why Kang De was on the same list as these important figures.
The early soft advertisements and hard advertisements of the Brotherhood were too much, so much so that even three-year-old children knew the location and name of the headquarters city…
In short, Kang De had already received the friendship of the Brotherhood 100%.
This set of equipment had been slightly adjusted and perfectly matched him. The cloth that was loose and just right was extremely comfortable. It was extremely nimble when moving, and it was even more nimble than usual. A short stealth cloak that could provide short-term invisibility hung behind him. Bracers, shoulder armor, belt, fast boots, hood, shone with magic patterns that were even darker than darkness… From top to bottom, it was as if it was a death that had fused into the shadows.
The reason why he did not wear it when he came to Comoros was that this thing was really too flashy, especially on Earth. It was difficult to forget at a glance. If he walked on the street dressed like this, even if he would not be beaten up, he would be firmly remembered and cause unnecessary trouble.
However, in the darkness, this thing was too useful.
Kang De pulled out the short sword and drew a pattern.
Apart from this Shadow Lone Equipment Set, Kang De also matched other equipment and weapons.
The dagger was in the sheath on the outside of his thigh. There were five sharp flying knives at his waist, all enchanted products. He also carried three flying axes. There was also an exquisite crossbow hanging behind his right shoulder. There were a few tubes of magic medicine in the tactical clasp on his chest, and the scroll was cushioned in the shoulder guard and hidden in the lining.
With a shake of his left arm, an invisible and material atmospheric shield surged out of the wrist guard, forming a shield condensed by an invisible airwave. The wind was ferocious and violent, and the airflow circled and spun, very flashy.
“…He’s simply like Magical Hero.”
Kang De sheathed his sword and swept his mental strength. The Atmospheric Magic Shield disappeared.
He stepped forward, but his footsteps were silent. The enchantment process restrained all sounds, even the friction, and breathing of his clothes, isolating most of the detection including the life detection spell.
Kang De opened his Phoenix Eye and used the Phoenix Vision and the power of the Fire Thief to size up the sound absorption diagram on his clothes. It was extremely complicated. It would take time to copy it. He was thinking about how to engrave this thing on the gun barrel.
He wanted to know more about soft anti-materiel sniper rifles.
“Father, have a good hunt.”
The Autobot whispered behind him.
Kang De waved his hand behind him and accelerated, disappearing into the darkness.
The king’s mausoleum was built on the mountain. There were layers of winding roads. There were sentries on guard at the entrance at the foot of the mountain. Two towers rose from the ground and searchlights patrolled.
Kang De avoided the searchlight and quietly approached. He picked up a rock from the ground and threw it into the air.
Then, he disappeared from the spot. In the next moment, space shattered. Kang De’s figure appeared from the void and had already arrived near the tower.
It was at the same height as the tower observation deck. Kang De, who was floating in the air, waved his hand and raised the crossbow on his right shoulder. He shot an arrow through the other party’s throat. The other party covered his throat, but his entire body was numb and he fell down without making a sound.
He nimbly jumped into the observation deck and broke that person’s neck. He activated the power of the Fire Thief only to destroy the corpse and not extract the soul.
When this person disappeared, he stood up. The lookout on the other side suddenly sensed something amiss. He turned around and saw that Kang De had already reached out to pull up the searchlight and shine it at another tower.
The strong pillar of light was extremely dazzling. It shone from the front, causing the sentry to subconsciously close his eyes and dodge. In an instant, Kang De had already crossed space and arrived. A flying knife tore through the air and pierced through the eye.
Once again, extraction and destruction of the corpse.
The Life Detection array branded on the glasses marked red spots.
It was a sign of life flowing.
Kang De strode towards the sentry post. The person inside was sitting and playing with his phone. Kang De looked around the house. There were no cameras, so he pushed open the door and entered.
The mercenary looked up and saw an Assassin walk in. Before he could speak, his throat was stuck. With a crack, his neck was broken and he died on the spot.
“I’m missing a hidden sword.”
Kang De felt that it was not convenient.
In fact, he did not know the technique of twisting necks. He did not know how to exert strength or which angle was easier to twist. He only used brute force to forcefully break someone’s neck. It was not technical.
It seemed to be even easier to stab with his hidden sword.
He left the door pavilion. The huge electric iron door had already been closed, but it did not matter. The glove was attached with an enchantment array diagram that was easy to climb. Kang De kicked and jumped, flipped through the door, and patiently cleaned up along the winding mountain road.
His rich FPS game experience told him that in the mission to save the hostage, especially the difficult mission of killing with a single strike, it was best to find and kill the enemies in the target camp circle by circle before rescuing the hostage. Otherwise, when the rescue was successful and he fled, a bullet from somewhere could make him lose the entire game.
Skills indeed came from life experiences.
He swept along the winding mountain road until he reached the scene of the king’s mausoleum. This had already become a construction site. There were all kinds of tents and transport vehicles. A large number of building materials were placed in the open and everywhere.
There were also many red dots.
Kang De sized up the surroundings and chose a target. He paid attention to the surrounding environment and quietly approached this tent. He pulled out the short sword at his waist and prepared to cut through the tent and charge in.
In the next moment, an ear-piercing alarm sounded in the sky.
…
