Chapter 344: Subduing Black Knife
"You are just too serious." Xia Yu replied.
Aleto did not respond to this. She had her own principles in doing things, and respect for hierarchy was her principle.
Since she has pledged her loyalty to Xia Yu, she cannot help but care even if Xia Yu doesn't care.
"Okay, enough small talk. I called you out here because I need your help with something."
As soon as Xia Yu said this, Aleto immediately stood up straight. Even Di Xi, who was a little arrogant, stopped throwing tantrums and listened attentively.
Seeing this, Xia Yu pointed around and said, "I believe you can see that this is a sealed prison, and inside this prison are your former Black Knife companions."
Hearing this, Aleto looked at Xia Yu in shock. She thought that she was the only one left of the former Black Knife.
Because he knew clearly what he and his companions had done, Aleto never expected that any of his Black Knife companions would survive.
The crime of assassinating the Golden Prince Godwin, and the fact that the assassination was successful, was enough to warrant the capture and execution of all those involved.
She was able to survive because of her identity as the leader of the Black Knife, but even if she survived, she was sealed in the Sealed Prison.
But now, suddenly hearing that his former Black Knife companion was here, Aleto naturally lost his composure.
"Don't get excited. You still have many Black Knife companions. This is just the beginning."
Xia Yu waved his hand, telling Aletto not to get excited. As far as he knew, there were at least five Black Blades still alive at the border.
This does not include those that have not been counted. If those that have not been counted are counted, the number of surviving black knives is definitely more than five.
"this……"
Aleto was a little dazed. She had never thought that her Black Knife companion could still survive. After all, her daughter died while protecting her from escaping from the royal city.
"Okay, let me hear your mission first."
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Aleto immediately came back to his senses and listened carefully, while Xia Yu continued.
"The task I want to give you is to convince the three black knives here to be loyal to me. They are in the same state as you now, with their souls still alive in the world, but their souls are resting on the lily of the valley in Lingyi Cemetery instead of on ashes."
The lily of the valley in Lingyi Cemetery is a white flower that blooms in the underground cemetery, allowing the soul to nestle on the flower.
To strengthen soul ashes, you need cemetery lily of the valley, while ordinary souls can be strengthened with ordinary cemetery lily of the valley.
However, the ashes of souls that possess a conscious self, such as the soul of Black Blade Dizzy, can only be strengthened by the lily of the valley that has a soul to lean on, that is, the lily of the valley in the Lingyi Cemetery.
Of course, most of the souls in the lily of the valley in Lingyi Cemetery are soul energy, and cases like the Black Knife in Yidian Town are extremely rare.
"I see!"
After listening to his mission, Aleto bowed deeply to Xia Yu and said, "I will try my best to complete the mission. Also, thank you very much for entrusting me with this mission!"
Xia Yu didn't say much, just smiled and waved his hand, and Aleto also looked at his daughter.
"Di Xi, protect Lord Xia Yu, I will be back soon!"
After saying that, Aleto's figure merged into the air. This was the ability of their Black Blade, which allowed them to eliminate all sense of existence through the invisibility veil on their bodies. Not only could they become invisible, but even the sound of their movements could be concealed.
Di Xi, who was left behind, was a little at a loss. After seeing the teasing look on Xia Yu's face, he snorted.
"Hmph, let me return to the ashes. With your strength, you don't need my protection anyway."
"Hmm? You want to disobey your mother's orders?"
"I……"
Di Xi pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. He could only glare at Xia Yu fiercely, then took out his black knife and stood guard beside Xia Yu.
The reason they are called Black Knife is because of the weapons in their hands. This weapon with a peculiar blade is the dagger used to kill Godwin on the night of the Black Knife conspiracy.
These daggers have undergone a special ceremony, and the power of the stolen Death Rune resides in the blades, thus becoming black swords.
Xia Yu smiled and waved to Di Xi, who was alert all around. "Don't be alert. You can't even beat me, so how can you protect me? Come and sit for a while."
Hearing this, Di Xi was a little discouraged, but she still refused to accept it and said, "Humph, who said that? If we look at assassination ability, you are definitely not as good as me. After all, I am a black knife stab..."
"Black knife what?"
A warm breeze suddenly appeared beside Di Xi's ears, which made her rush out suddenly. Then she saw the smiling Xia Yu.
“…”
Looking at Xia Yu's smiling face, Di Xi gritted her teeth. This guy only knew how to bully her, even though she was the first one to surrender to him.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I won't tease you anymore."
Xia Yu reached out and pulled Di Xi over, then pulled her to sit on the steps nearby.
Because the Black Blades are all rare , even if they are all female, they are still much taller than ordinary people. At this moment, sitting on the steps, Di Xi is at least one head taller than Xia Yu.
"Since we are taking a break, just take off the hood covering your face. Otherwise, it will be a little creepy looking at the empty head." Xia Yu suddenly said.
Hearing this, Di Xi thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He immediately took off the black hood embroidered with complex patterns, and his delicate little face was revealed in front of Xia Yu.
Although the rare people available for selection in the game look like old people, the rare people in reality are not that ugly, let alone the young rare people.
So even from the perspective of human aesthetics, Di Xi's appearance is excellent.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Noticing that Xia Yu was staring at him, Di Xi asked somewhat uncomfortably.
"You are so beautiful, what's wrong with me admiring you?"
"Smooth talk."
Di Xi turned her head away proudly. Xia Yu didn't say anything more, but fell down and lay directly on Di Xi's thighs.
Feeling Xia Yu's movements, Di Xi's face turned red, his body tensed up and he asked nervously, "What are you doing?"
“Obviously.”
Xia Yu arched his body and changed into a comfortable lying position, and replied: "I'll take a rest. I have to say that your leg armor is a bit uncomfortable. It's not comfortable at all."
"Then don't lie down!"
"I don't want it!"
After replying, Xia Yu closed his eyes. Seeing this, Di Xi stopped talking and tensed his body, fearing to disturb Xia Yu's rest.
After a while, Xia Yu, who was almost asleep, was suddenly woken up by Di Xi.
"Don't rest, my mother is back."
Hearing this, Xia Yu opened his eyes, but did not get up. He just lay on Di Xi's legs and turned his head to look forward.
What came into view was the Black Knife leader Aleto, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and the remaining three Black Knife members.
Seeing that Xia Yu had no intention of getting up, and feeling the inquiring gazes of his mother and other Black Knife members, Di Xi shamefully put on his hood.
It was so embarrassing that she, the daughter of the leader of the Black Knife, was lying on the lap of a man, and she didn't even resist.
Xia Yuze didn't care about that. He looked at the four black knives in front of and suddenly gave an order.
"Since you have chosen to be loyal to me, I will now give you your first task. Strip the Son of Platinum in this sealed prison of all his clothes and bring him to me!"
“…”
When the order came out, the three newly joined Black Blades were dumbfounded. Such an outrageous task... They were assassins, how could stealing other people's clothes be considered a task!
Aleto has gotten used to it. After all, this is not the first time he has encountered such an outrageous task.
She nodded immediately and said, "I understand!"
"Oh, and don't let go of their bows and arrows. I want them all!"
