Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 133 The Birth of a Legendary Assassin

Lao Sen's Magic Technology Shop encountered difficulties in the field of alchemy. The two men and one chicken worked on the research until early morning and produced seven potions of completely different colors, but they still failed to make any progress. Considering that Miss Chloe would probably become bald if they continued the research, Ethan quickly stopped the research.

Based on the healing properties of Miss Chloe's flame, he made a hypothesis that if all went well, they might be able to use this property to brew a potion that could heal any injury.

Their organization also lacks an excellent medical team.

The idea was nice, but it was difficult to put into practice. Creating a new potion was like relying on inspiration and luck without a synthetic formula. The most likely thing to happen was an explosion. Winter had used all his life's knowledge to prevent the apartment from burning down.

They brewed a total of seven potions with unknown effects. Considering that potions often have overly magical effects, Winter strongly advised Ethan not to test it himself, and could only save the seven potions first.

After doing all this, she went back to bed and fell asleep.

For a cat who is used to going to bed early and getting up early, she stayed up more late during the time she spent with Ethan than in the past few years combined.

She felt that Ethan was a night owl with a very strange day and night schedule, and might even be addicted to staying up late.

It seems that I have to put urging Ethan to go to bed and get up early on my agenda in the future.

This sleep was not sound. Ethan felt that he had just closed his eyes for a short time when he heard a noise in the living room. He opened his eyes in confusion and found that it was only noon. Lindong's reaction was more direct. She turned into a cat, closed her eyes, frowned, and hid in the quilt, almost pressing the pillow on herself.

Considering the risk of Miss Winter Witch's magic going out of control, Ethan had to change into formal clothes despite his sleepiness, wash up, and go to the living room.

As expected, the three people from next door all came. Miss Chloe, who had lost weight, was entertaining the guests and brought the coffee beans that Ethan brought back from Gear City to the living room. She recently discovered that these beans were delicious and seemed to have the effect of refreshing the mind.

Before Ethan could speak, Bi'an stood up and said excitedly, "Our product has become famous! You haven't seen today's news yet!"

She was holding the "Gryphon Daily". The first thing she did after waking up today was to ask Rowena to go to the town to buy newspapers for her. After selling the electromagnetic crossbow yesterday, she guessed that there would be big news today.

Ethan glanced at the newspaper, and the reporter reported a riot in Darkfurnace City in the most prominent position.

In the black and white picture, the high and mighty chief priest sneered as he enumerated the crimes of the person being judged, and then a sharp arrow shot out from nowhere and pierced straight through his chest.

The white protective barrier failed to block the hidden arrow and a hole was shot in it in an instant.

The chief priest fell to the ground, causing a commotion.

Ethan seriously suspected that the reporter who wrote this report was a spy for the Vatican, as he placed the image of the chief priest's murder in the most conspicuous position, allowing the entire empire to see the scene of him being pierced through the heart by an arrow.

He read the report again. Also killed at the scene was Count Garland, who was sitting on the execution platform. He was also shot through the heart by an arrow.

Although the author seems to be indignant and condemns the despicable attackers and rebels, there is a sense of sarcasm between the lines.

Now Ethan was certain that the tone and the accompanying picture were deliberately mocking the incompetence of the Darkfurnace City Church and nobles. The chief priest and an earl were shot to death so easily by an assassin.

The scale of the rebellion was much more bleak than Ethan had expected. There were only ten people in total, all farmers. After killing several priests with the Frost Arrow Scroll, they were soon shot to death by the musketeers. The few who were pushed to the guillotine could not escape the fate of being executed.

The only good news for the residents of Darkforge City is that the "tax amnesty" has been postponed.

The death of the Chief Priest and Count Garland brought great deterrence to the nobles and the Church. They failed to find the assassin, and after shooting the target, the member of the Brotherhood disappeared into the shadows.

The Daily Hippogryph published a wanted poster for the assassin.

Black Wolf, a member of the Brotherhood, regardless of life or death. These two arrows made him a legend of the Brotherhood, and also made him another wanted criminal by the Empire since the Corruption War.

"The Vatican has completely lost face this time."

Rowena gloated on the side. Although she had nothing to do with the Church, she also regarded the Church as an enemy because of what happened to Lin Dong. "They had intended to establish their authority by suppressing the riots, but they didn't expect to be shot by an arrow. Everyone saw that the chief priest's protection was shattered at the touch. I guess the Pope himself is furious now. It's a pity that there is no positive report about the Pope himself."

"What happened in Gear City and Darkfurnace City should make them quiet down a bit recently. With three important figures dead at once, they should know that the power of the people should not be underestimated."

Ivy gradually understood the deterrent effect that Ethan mentioned.

The petition of the residents of Darkfurnace City was doomed to achieve no results. Only the two sharp arrows shot by the legendary assassin Black Wolf could change the decision of the Church and the nobles. She could imagine that those people must be trying every means to find the legendary assassin, but before Black Wolf was found, there would always be an arrow hanging over their heads, preventing them from sleeping peacefully at night.

"Fear...it's your weapon."

Ivy fell into deep thought.

"The cost of a legendary assassin is 80 gold lions. As long as the Empire continues to implement laws such as 'amnesty and tax exemption', more legendary assassins will appear."

The popularity of electromagnetic crossbows means that every city will have a legendary assassin standing out.

"They'll find out about us sooner or later."

Ivy was a little worried.

In the past, the ice arrow scrolls made by Ethan were mostly used to kill dark creatures to complete commissions, and they did not cause any waves among the top leaders of the empire. But now, a chief priest and a count were killed. As long as the empire's investigators went to Hearth Bay, they could easily find out about Heisenberg and the Magic Technology Shop.

"Of course, maybe soon we won't be able to keep the store open."

Ethan shrugged. This was his original plan and an inevitable result. "So before that, we have to make good use of the resources of Hearth Bay."

"Ethan."

Ivy took a deep breath and mustered up her courage, "I have something to ask you, please answer me truthfully."

"Ok?"

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Ivy leaned forward, and the golden hair on her head was also aimed at Ethan. Ethan mentioned more than once that he did not have such big ambitions, and this was true. He would rather stay in Ximu Town and use these creations that were enough to change the pattern of the empire to arm the guards in the town.

"My purpose..."

Ethan fell into deep thought. Initially, his life goal was to be transferred to the headquarters in the imperial capital and work there peacefully until retirement, but now, this ideal was destined to be shattered.

"Let you and the people I know live."

This is a simple wish, but it is undoubtedly a luxury for today's empire.

He answered Ivy seriously, "I can't stand the separation of life and death. If you die one day, I will probably be sad for a long time."
