Section 3 Assassin Family
Outside the door of the official residence, the Knights of the Templar who were blocked outside quickly found a thick tree in the jungle, and then made the tree into a siege weapon to hit the gate. These powerful knights raised the wooden and hit the gate hard. The gate made a bang, and dust and wood slag fell down one after another. The people in the official residence looked nervously at the shocked gate. The gate that used to be indestructible seemed to be frivolous at this time. The women and children screamed and cried, and the helpless manager had to take them to the basement. At least there was an iron gate there, which could give Fu Gu some sense of security.
"We have to transfer candidates, and these Templars came to him.
"The fuzi who had settled the residence were in the prayer room and discussed with the messenger how to deal with the Templars outside. They knew very well that under the fierce attack of the knights, this residence was only a noble residence, and it was impossible to resist. Now the only purpose is to protect the candidates.
"There is a secret passage in the prayer room, which is used in special circumstances." The manager thought for a while and said to the messenger and the thin candidate.
"Okay, your Excellency, please leave here immediately through the secret passage." The messenger said quickly.
"No, I won't leave here. If I leave those wicked people, they will definitely kill the furu here." The candidate shook his head firmly, holding a long string of rose rosary in his hand, and the exquisite wooden cross hanging on his hand.
"Your Excellency, now that His Majesty the Pope has passed away, you are the person who is most likely to become the next Pope. Compared with your noble status, any sacrifice is worth it." The manager knew that the candidate was kind-hearted, but now it is not a time for sacrifice and dedication. Cardinal Dezso has put all his political future on this thin candidate.
"No, under the gospel of God, no one can be sacrificed. As a noble candidate for the pope, I should set an example." But this very obedient candidate of Andras is like a stubborn donkey and refuse to escape, making the manager frown.
"His Excellency Andras Candidate, in fact, the main target of these Templars is you. These people in the official residence are not very dangerous. In other words, if you escape first, they will definitely give up attacking the official residence." As the confidant of the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, who has experienced many wars, his mind is more flexible. His eyes turned and he immediately said to the candidate.
"I have implicated the people in the official residence?" The Andras candidate lowered his head and said with a red face. Although he was from a saint family lineage, he always had no time to live carefully whether in a monastery or a low-level priest. However, after becoming a pope candidate, he felt like a lonely sail thrown into the surging sea. His whole life was different from before. However, he was kind and still hoped that he would not implicate others because of himself.
"You can say that, then you agree to leave the official residence?" The messenger saw that the Andras candidate had been shaken and continued to make a statement by taking the iron.
"Okay, I agree." The Andras candidate thought for a while, nodded and said to the supervisor and the messenger.
Hearing Andras agreed to leave the official residence, the manager hurried to the prayer room to place the wooden cabinet with the Bible and some silver jewelry such as crosses. He pushed the wooden cabinet hard to one side. When the heavy wooden cabinet was pushed down, a dark hole appeared. The messenger immediately picked up the torch hanging in the prayer room and then lit the torch. He walked into the cave with the bright torch. Fresh air flowed in the cave, which seemed to be a passage that could lead to the wild.
Andras followed the messenger cautiously, and the manager walked at the end with a sword. The three of them walked carefully along the winding and slippery stone steps under the torch. After about an hour of walking, the messenger found a ball of black things blocking their presence.
"What is that?" Andras saw a pair of yellow light balls in the dark, flashing in the darkness, and suddenly a fishy smell came to her face.
"No, it's a bear." The messenger was anxious and sweating profusely. Under the firelight, he saw a black bear standing up. His furry head almost hit the top of the cave. The black bear probably regarded this secret passage as his old nest. He was sleeping happily in his snail residence, but suddenly someone burst out from behind. The firelight and human voice made the black bear furious. The roar of the black bear was reeling in the cave, and the two bear paws opened threateningly.
"Your Excellency, Candidate, please avoid this beast." The manager hurriedly relied on the weapons in his hand to block in front of Andrews. The messenger waved the torch in his hand, and used the weakness of the beast's fear of the flames to match the manager's actions.
"Damn beast, look here." The messenger and the manager waved the torch and sword in front of the black bear, trying to attract the black bear's attention.
“Oh~
...The black bear exhaled white breath from his mouth, shook his head and looked extremely clumsy, but the messenger and the manager knew that it would be extremely terrible if this animal started to be crazy.
"Of course, get out of here, Your Excellency," the messenger shouted loudly to Andras,
But the priest felt his feet trembling in front of this manic and restless beast. He held the wet wall and was trembling and frightened.
"I'll deal with it here, you can take the adults away." The loyal manager said to the messenger.
"Okay, I'll give you the torch." The messenger knew that the situation would get worse and worse if he stayed there, so he made a quick decision to hand the torch to the manager, and then helped Andras to quietly go around to the entrance of the cave when the black bear's attention was attracted by the manager. They broke away the weeds and crawled out of the cave.
"What should I do if the manager?" Andras said to the messenger uneasy, leaving the manager alone in the hole with a black bear, which made him feel very cruel.
"He will take care of himself, and we need to keep you safe now." The messenger comforted Dras. They could be safe as long as they leave the residence, but will things really be as they wished?
"As Cardinal Edward said, there is a secret passage here, haha." Just as Andras and the messenger stood up and were about to leave here, two men in gray cloaks came out of the dense forest. Their noses were emitting a dangerous aura. The messenger quickly stood in front of Andras, and his intuition felt the danger of these two men.
"Who are you?" the messenger shouted loudly, but unfortunately he does not have any weapon in his hand now, and if he is attacked, he will have no power to fight back.
"You don't need to know who we are, you just need to know that your life will be ruined in our hands." The black-bearded man standing on the left smiled contemptuously, and he slid a sharp dagger out of his sleeve.
"Are you assassins?" The messenger suddenly remembered that it was said that in the city-states in the south, there were some families specializing in assassination work. These assassin families usually serve politicians or nobles, and then obtain financial and political benefits.
"Yes, I'm glad you know us." The assassin on the right bent down and saluted gracefully. Although he looked very kind, his slender fingers skillfully pulled out the short sword from his boots when he bent down and saluted. He behaved with agility and fast manner. The messenger felt that he might not lose if he was on the battlefield, but if he was walking on the streets of peace, he would definitely be killed by him.
"Do you know who you are dealing with?" The messenger had no choice but to use Cardinal Dezso's title to retreat to the other party. Although he knew very well that the other party had been waiting here for a long time and must have known very well the target of assassination, this was just a lucky chance.
"Don't waste your time, let's pray." The two assassins raised their daggers and short swords before putting them in front of them, and their bodies were slightly centered downwards, slowly approaching the messenger and the pale face Andras, as they watched the assassin approaching.
"Can we escape?" Andras asked terrified by the messenger's clothes.
"No, our escape route has been blocked. These guys are professional assassins. Candidates should beg for God." The messenger replied in frustration, but he didn't expect that a mission to report the message would encounter so many things.
When the assassins approached, a man screamed, and a man covered in blood rolled out of the cave. The assassins were shocked. They did not expect that there would be someone else coming out in the cave.
"Maintain, are you okay?" Andras saw that the man covered in blood was the manager of Anfu Black Bear. He saw him covering his shoulders, and it seemed that he had been scratched by the Black Bear.
"Woo, get out of here quickly." The manager said in pain.
"I was shocked. It turned out to be a injured guy. It seemed that the Templars were not too incompetent." Seeing that they were a wounded man who had no ability to resist at all, the assassins felt relieved. What the assassins hated the most was things that were not within their control. These emergencies often disrupted their plans.
"Hurry up and finish the work." The black bearded assassin was already a little impatient. He frowned and picked up the dagger and stabbed the messenger violently. The messenger avoided the attack and grabbed the assassin's arm. The two of them struggled to communicate.
"Haha, don't worry about my friends, do you want to bet on how long they can last."
Another assassin said with ease that it was very easy to kill a thin child and a wounded man. He stepped forward and grabbed Andras and was about to stab him in the heart.
