Chapter 56: Prepare for an Assassination
On the other side, Li De has already traveled through the world and arrived at the shadow world.

Looking around, Li De found himself on the roof of a building.

There were all kinds of buildings all around, and in the distance a steam train emitting thick black smoke was approaching with its whistle blowing.

After using his clairvoyance to observe a certain group of buildings in the distance, Reed confirmed that the place he had traveled to was the capital of the Kingdom of Midgar.

Because the complex of buildings that Reed saw with his clairvoyance skill was the top magic swordsman academy on this continent, its full name is Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy.

This academy is not only attended by the noble descendants of the Kingdom of Midgar, but also by many nobles from other countries.

For example, Rose Oriana in the original work comes from the Oriana Kingdom.

Of course, these are not important at the moment. The most important thing for Li De is to confirm the time node.

Only after confirming the time node could Li De start formulating the assassination plan.

Yes, Reed was planning to assassinate Sid Kagenor.

After all, there were 100 points left as a guarantee, so Li De couldn't rely on these 100 points to improve his strength.

Therefore, Reed would definitely not choose to fight Sid Kagenor head-on.

After all, he knew very well that he had no hope of winning in a head-on fight.

But if it were an assassination, Li De thought he had at least a 50% chance.

And this 50% refers to Sid Kageno who has already entered the academy, not when he was just a few years old or twelve years old.

In fact, you only need to look at the difficulty of the task to know that the target of the task this time will definitely not be a young version.

Otherwise, how could the boss who issued the task give out points for a task of hell-level difficulty?

So at this moment, Li De only needs to confirm one thing, that is, whether Sid Kageno has arrived at the royal capital.

After more than half a day, the invisible Reed walked out of the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy.

"There's still a month before school starts. It seems time is a bit tight." Li De couldn't help but mutter after walking out of the Magic Swordsman Academy where there were basically no people.

By entering the school to investigate, although Reed did not see any information about Sid Kagenau, he found information about his sister Claire Kagenau.

According to the intelligence, Reed knew that Claire would be a third-year student starting school this year, which meant that her brother Sid Kageno, who was two years younger than her, would be the one to enter the school.

Just as he expected, this time he had to face Sid Kageno, who had grown to be fifteen years old.

Although it was confirmed that there was still a month before the target person arrived in the royal capital, Reed did not plan to immediately set off to Baron Kageno's territory to look for an opportunity to assassinate him.

It’s not that Li De is not in a hurry, but that Li De has a lot of things to try and adapt to. Only after he is fully prepared will he formulate the relevant assassination plan.

As to when Li De will be ready, it is still uncertain.

Anyway, Li De has made up his mind to take action when he is ready.

Before that, no matter how long it takes, Reed will not disrupt his rhythm because of whether Sid Kageno arrives in the royal capital.

After all, for him, there is only one chance for assassination.

If he fails, he will definitely use his last 100 points to buy a mission access card without hesitation and then leave this world.

So before this, Li De would make as thorough preparations as possible in order to have that one fatal blow.

After confirming the time node, Li De began to prepare. However, Li De's preparation was not to practice in the real world.

Since there is no plan for a head-on battle, there is naturally no need to practice in this area. After all, some gaps cannot be made up by a short period of practice.

Half a month later, in the bedroom of a low-key and luxurious mansion on a busy street in the central area of ​​the royal capital, Li De looked at a shriveled corpse and nodded with satisfaction.

This was the object he used as a preview, and this person was none other than Ruslan Barnett, the vice-president of Midgar's Magic Swordsman Academy.

The reason why Li De targeted him was not because of the ancient artifact, the Eye of Greed. In fact, this ancient artifact had no attraction to Li De.

It is not difficult to see from the original book that this ancient artifact has basically no effect on Sid Kagenor, so it is not worth Reed's trouble at all.

In fact, as long as Li De is willing, he can create a magic item that is more powerful than the Eye of Desire.

The reason why Li De targeted him was, one, because he couldn't stand him, and the other was because he was one of the strongest men in Wangdu.

Using him to test the effectiveness of the medicine prepared by Li De in the last six months of the Eight Men's World can also serve as some basis.

Of course, it is impossible for Li De to use only one person for the test.

In fact, before this scumbag, Li De had already tested several people, but the strength of those people was very limited, and they were more testing how much impact the drugs prepared by Li De had on the bodies of people in this world.

The next step is to test how long it takes for the drug to take effect on people with strong magical powers and how long the effect can last.

Yes, Li De plans to use drugs to knock down the target of this mission.

However, the poison prepared by Li De was not poison in the traditional sense.

The main reason was that Li De was worried that traditional poisons might not be effective.

You have to know that Sid Kageno has achieved a considerable degree of control over himself.

If there's anything wrong with your body, he will definitely notice it.

Unless it was a more powerful and quick-kill poison than cyanide, it was possible that the drug would be excreted from the body by this man through some unexpected means before it had time to take effect.

Even if such a medicine existed, Li De would not use it.

Since he had decided to carry out the assassination only once, he would not pin all his hopes on drugs.

Drugs can be used as an auxiliary, but they should never be used as the main treatment.

After killing Ruslan Barnett, Reed did not hesitate to take away the body and the incomplete Eye of Desire.

Although Reed has no use for this ancient artifact, it does not mean that he will leave it to other members of the Diabolos Cult.

After making Ruslan Barnett disappear, Reed continued to test the effects of the drugs while beginning to deduce the assassination plan.

Soon, half a month passed.

With the arrival of the new semester, new students enrolled this year also gathered in the royal capital from all over the country.

Reed finally saw his mission target, Sid Kageno.

Although he only saw it from a distance, Li De felt that the magic power stored in the target person's body was exaggerated.
