Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1018



Chapter 1018: French Leave

Under the darkness of night, Sardinia was flickering with lights.


With Freedom Square in the city as the center, there were a total of seven long streets radiating into the city. These seven streets were named after Avenues 1 to 7, which were easy to remember. Each of the main roads extended out many branches of the streets and alleys, thus forming Sardinia's spider-web-like complex and dense transportation network. Since Sardinia City was known as the capital of trade, there were naturally many shops and chambers of commerce in the city. With the number of merchant associations, there were naturally many mercenary groups that accepted various entrustments, as well as adventure associations that were responsible for managing adventurers.


The large and small chambers of commerce in Sardinia had a wide range of businesses. They had everything from the necessities of life to weapons and equipment, and even to redeeming horses and slaves. However, the latter was relatively concealed and could not openly open a shop to do business like other businesses. For the convenience of management, the various types of transactions were grouped together. Each of the main streets on Avenue 1 to 7 operated different businesses. This not only makes it easy for businesses to form a market, but also makes it easier for buyers to compare. Under this premise, unless it is a monopoly, there will be very few bullying customers, so to a large extent, the buyer and seller to ensure the operation of both sides.


This relatively fair trading environment was also the foundation of Sardinia.


At dinner time, Elyse walked out of the Flying Elephant Hotel's Pavilion 6. The Flying Elephant Hotel was one of the properties under the name of the city merchant group Flying Elephant. It was said to be a hotel, but it was made up of eight separate hotels and a group of buildings consisting of grassy slopes, stone paths, small squares and gardens. Under the name of General Sling, Allen rented the entire hall as a living quarters for the caravan. When a hundred people filled in, Pavilion 6 was filled to the brim.


Earlier, Allen had brought Edward and the others to the dusty banquet that General Slyn had prepared for him. Elyse did not say goodbye to Alan, nor did he want to. As for the reason, she did not know herself. She just threw the crystal that was used as a reward into Allen's room and was picked up by a Green Dragon Knight. Elyse did not give any reason and left Pavilion 6 just like that.


The Flying Elephant Hotel had a rentable carriage, and Elyse picked one at random. He told that groom an address in the city, paid for the carriage, and got into the carriage. A moment later, the carriage shook and started to walk. Elyse looked out of the window at the changing scenery with a silent expression. She knew that after tonight, she would be back on track. This trip to Iron Spear Ridge alone, and then to Sardinia, will become the most precious memories of his life.


Especially the reprimand of that person, those barbecue meat that was usually disdainful, but tasted pretty good, as well as the extremely powerful musket that he had never seen before. She could no longer experience these people and things. This was her most willful experience, and she would never experience it again. She could even imagine the trajectory of her life, from a young girl to a woman, until she finally died of old age. She could foresee every stage.


This path had been decided long before she was born.


Elyse put down the curtains, blocking the wind outside the car, whispered: "The long-laid life is really boring."


The carriage goes to Heavenly Garden Street, Elyse's designated address. When the car stopped, Elyse got off the car and a faint fragrance of flowers immediately entered his nose. Heavenly Garden Avenue was the real rich area of Sardinia City. In Sardinia City, there were only seven manors on this street. The streets were paved with cobblestones, with elegant street lamps on both sides, and a flower bed every ten meters. The flowers were all planted with precious flowers.


Even if it was a celebrity in the city, very few people were able to live on this Heavenly Kingdom Garden Avenue. The people who could buy the next manor on this street were all rich people in their pockets. But few knew that this street, otherwise known as Golden Avenue in Sardinia, was actually one of the Elyse Family's properties and one of her family's most important investments in the South.


At this moment, Heavenly Kingdom Garden Avenue was completely quiet, and it matched the liveliest Avenue in Sardinia City in the distance. The air here seemed to be so sweet that nectar flowed out, but Elyse knew that in the slums of Sardinia, the ditches there stinked all year round. Suddenly, she understood that what Alan had said was also human. Not everyone was born with a golden key like her. She was well-dressed, but others had to fight to the death for a piece of barbecue meat.


But all of this had nothing to do with her anymore. After tonight, she will return to her old life. The world Alan was talking about was too far away from her.


Elyse stopped in front of a manor. The black iron gate of the manor was tightly closed, and one could see the lights in the depths of the gate. She reached out and knocked on the door. Just as the iron ring on the door snapped, a woman's voice sounded from inside. "Is Miss back?"


Then the sound of footsteps rang out.


However, Elyse's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and sprinted. At this moment, several auras rushed up from the manor, and the sound of air breaking rang out loudly. Elyse only flew a hundred meters, but suddenly his vision blurred. Someone was already blocking the streets.


She had to stop.


In the middle of the street was a man in a long trench coat, wearing a white ceramic mask. There were no facial features, only two eyeballs. Shadows flashed, and around Elyse, seven or eight figures in long robes had surrounded her. These people are tall and short, men and women. Without exception, the killing intent on their bodies was very heavy.


The first man to stop Elyse said in an apparently altered voice, "Miss is really alert. I thought this situation would be seamless and save me a lot of trouble."


Elyse wiped her waist and the red whip came into her hand. She said coldly, "Indeed, it's not bad. I guess the people in the manor have been dealt with by you." Being able to make a move here hasn't attracted the attention of the city guards. You guys are indeed not simple. Not even the smell of blood could be seen, and it even allowed people to learn Gisna's accent. It's a pity that you think you're too smart. Gisna, who watched me grow up, won't call me miss! "


The man suddenly realized that he had revealed the details. Thank you for reminding me, Miss. As a thank you gift, if you don't resist, I can make your death painless.


"Dream on!" Elyse Nuzha waved his hand with a whip. The long whip shook out a tense arc and swept out a series of vibrations in the air, as if it was wrapped in wind and lightning as it pounced towards the man.


The man flipped over a dagger in his hand and casually stuck it out. The tip of the knife pointed at the long whip, but the heavy whip that sounded powerful did not send a heavy pressure from the tip of the knife as expected. Instead, it felt light. Before the power accumulated on the dagger could be activated, the long whip had already bounced back, and in an instant, it was shaking straight, piercing towards the woman wearing the mask on the left side as her chest.


That was the weakest person in their line of work.


She was wearing a mask so she couldn't see her expression, but anger flashed across the man's eyes. Elyse's finger had indeed deceived him. Especially in front of the eyes of so many people, he really lost a fight, immediately angry and angry, sternly said: "Kill her, we only have a few minutes!"


They didn't have much time. This was Sardinia, where the Bucks were stationed. The Bucks were not the other leading private troops, but the regular army of the empire. Even though its combat power was at the bottom of the other legions, these assassins weren't arrogant enough to contend against a colossus like the imperial army. Furthermore, even though the higher-ups had said that someone else was helping them block the expert who was secretly protecting this woman from a wealthy family, it was also a question of how long they would be able to block it.


So they really don't have much time.


Elyse also knew that time was of the essence. The Heavenly Kingdom Garden was originally the quietest place in the city. Tonight, the celebrities in the city invited Slyn again, so the street became even quieter. If she was dragged here by the assassin, it would definitely be a life-and-death situation. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.


She had lived in Sardinia for a period of time and was familiar with the distribution of the local streets. In the blink of an eye, Elyse had already decided on a route. The only problem was whether he could escape. Her initial whip was aimed at the leader of the other party, but it was actually aimed at the weakest part of their attention. As the red whip stabbed straight into his hand, Origin Energy swallowed it like a thorn. Elyse Origin Energy couldn't get on the stage, but he was always from a wealthy clan. Similar to her footwork, her hand whip technique was also taught by a master teacher, and she was skilled in using weakness to control strength. At this moment, Origin Energy condensed his defensive methods like needles and specialized in breaking through Origin Energy's barrier. The female assassin was very smart. She knew that as long as she received the whip, her companions would have a chance to attack, and Elyse would definitely be dragged here.


However, Elyse's lash carried an indescribable tragic aura, and it was clear that life and death were going to be decided in an instant. Just because an assassin killed someone else's life didn't mean that they weren't afraid of death. In fact, it was the opposite. They cherished their lives more than anyone else. After all, there was still a difference between a killer and a corpse. josei


The female assassin screamed and flashed sideways. Her hands flickered with ten fingers, releasing flames. Although the offensive seemed to be fierce, it was actually quite suspicious of being strong from the outside and capable from the inside. The people of Elyse followed the whip. The whip first broke through the curtains of fire released by the female assassin, and when the person broke through the fire, he came out. Suddenly, he turned around, and a dark blue crystal stone appeared in his hand. Elyse Origin Energy injected it, and the crystal stone lit up. These patterns are not natural, but man-made, forming a pattern.


Illushi threw a crystal stone at the assassin from behind. The killer's leader's pupils shrank as he shouted in shock, "Be careful, that's the fury of thunder!"


The killers' eyes changed.


The jingshi was still in midair, but a violent aura suddenly emerged from the small stone, as if a flood of rage had burst out from a dam, supporting the jingshi until it swelled up. Several lines flashed in the stone, and the crystal disintegrated, releasing wisps of lightning from the thousands of thin cracks!
