Chapter 229: Maybe It's Better This Way

Arthur could feel the face behind the mask contorted with pain, but laughing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He then touched the Assassin's neck.

"Don't kill him!"

Lawrence suddenly shouted.

Arthur's hand was withdrawn. He continued to hold his sword against the Assassin's neck, then turned to look at Lawrence and asked him what he meant.

Lawrence's breath was still short. He took a few deep breaths and said, "I know his purpose, he wants to warn me." ”

Lawrence opened his hands and shouted, "Hey, I've got my friend out of Ponto and into the Land of the Dead!

Arthur turned to Rick.

Rick shook his head slightly.

Arthur said, "Tsk." ”

"Hear me, faceless fellow, your life has been saved. Arthur tapped the Assassin's smiley mask, "But something has to be done to get me in a good mood." ”

With that, he broke off the five fingers of the assassin's other hand, one by one. The movements are slower than before.

Arthur felt his body tremble and twitch as he raised the corners of his mouth, smiling and licking the tips of his teeth. He was sure that it would make him feel much better.

Rick approached Lawrence and asked, "Did the Assassins come looking for you?"

Lawrence shook his head: "No, but I know that the assassins of the Eagle's Nest are now in the service of Prince Leicester. ”

Rick pressed Lawrence's shoulder, "I'm sorry bro, I'm making it difficult for you." ”

"What are you talking about. Lawrence wiped his face vigorously, "Obviously I should have said that." Rick, you understand me, I have Juliet, Angeline, and the people of Espain, and I have to surrender and have to let this assassin go. ”

Rick nodded, "Yes, I know." ”

After saying that, Rick glanced at Jonathan, and Jonathan shouted at the roof, "Okay boy, he may not be able to leave if he continues to play." ”

Arthur stood up: "You reminded me that he can do something down there, too." ”

Jonathan snorted silently, "Alright, Arthur, let him go." ”

Feeling better, Arthur got up neatly, watched the assassin prop himself up on his elbows, and left in embarrassment, then jumped off the roof and said to Rick with an unhappy face, "Because now that I'm in the Golden Lion Regiment, I have to listen to you so I don't kill him." ”

"Thank you for giving me face. Rick made the same honest smile that Arthur had always hated.

Naine floated off the roof and returned to Arthur's body.

Lawrence saw this and confirmed that Arthur was the contractor, and now he understood a little why Rick had taken him with him. He thanked Arthur with his wife and daughter, and Arthur said simply, "It's nothing"

Angeline broke away from her mother's arms and suddenly rushed into Arthur's arms, which stunned Arthur.

It's also a bit overwhelming.

"Thank you, Brother Arthur!" Angeline said excitedly with her round face and wide eyes, "So you are so powerful, no wonder Uncle Rick will let you be his bodyguard, that maroon-haired sister is so powerful, it's decided! I'm going to add you two to my list of people that Angelie likes!"

"Huh?" Arthur furrowed his eyebrows, "what the hell is that?"

Angelie didn't answer, "hehe" smiled and turned around and ran back into her mother's arms.

Arthur heard Naine exclaim in his body again, "Ahhh

Arthur couldn't understand at all, what was so cute?

On the way back, Rick slowed down his horse and approached Arthur, asking him, "It seems that you are a little sensitive to the Assassins?

Arthur didn't respond right away, he glanced at Rick slowly, then looked back ahead, and gave a slightly annoyed "um".

"Can you share that? After all, there is some common information that can produce the greatest benefit. ”

Arthur furrowed his eyebrows: "What kind of information is that?" ”

"I've heard a little bit from the magic masters of Ojivich...... Elapse. ”

"Then you still ask me. ”

"But I don't know what happened after you left Ojivich. ”

"Why do you want to know?"

Arthur saw Rick's sincere smile again.

"Tsk, forget it, it doesn't matter if you tell you. ”

"Please be more detailed. ”

Anyway, there was nothing to do on the way back, with Jonathan and Nayin on guard, and the environment permitted, Arthur told Rick about their trip with Hawkins after leaving Ojiwich, and the old Ionclay was simplified.

"Well, your patience is good. Rick said in a complimentary tone, "You're more sane than others think." ”

"I don't care what other people think. Arthur replied casually.

"Hah...... Also. After a moment of silence, Rick said, "I hope you don't mention today's meeting with Lord Lawrence, and of course, if someone asks you about your experience today, I hope you can avoid some truth." ”

Arthur glanced at Rick and said, "I'm not going to say anything." ”

Rick smiled, "Thank you for your understanding, Arthur, and I'm sorry to ask you to do such a dishonest thing." ”

Rick's words made Arthur think for the first time, is he an honest person?

Rick looked ahead and sighed, "The Golden Lions are facing many problems. Some are irreversible, and maybe no matter how hard I struggle, I can't change them. I'm sorry, Arthur, that you didn't come at the Golden Lions' most powerful moment. ”

Arthur looked at Rick.

Rick also looked at Arthur, still with a charming smile on his face, "But, maybe it's better that way, don't you say?"

After a few seconds, Arthur replied, "I don't understand what you're saying. ”

Rick laughed.

Upon entering the camp, Rick tells Arthur that his escort mission is over and that he has behaved well to his satisfaction.

Arthur didn't say anything, and now that the mission was over, he wanted to go back to Team Six. But as soon as he took a step, he suddenly remembered something, quickly turned the horse's head, and returned to Rick's side.

"What's wrong?" asked Rick.

"Almost forgot. With that, Arthur pulled out Rick's handkerchief and handed it over.

Rick was just about to catch it, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, Arthur thought Rick had caught it, and his hand loosened the force, and the handkerchief was blown to the ground.

Arthur dismounted and walked over, picked up the handkerchief, and on the way back, he unfolded the handkerchief, shook off the snow on the handkerchief, patted it, folded the square handkerchief in half, and then folded it in half, folding it into a palm-sized square, and then his fingertips swept the edge of the handkerchief, and after turning it at a right angle, swept another sideline.

After these small movements, he walked back to Rick's side, and he held up his handkerchief and said, "Give it back." ”

Arthur didn't know that Rick watched him fold his handkerchief and make those small movements, the scene in front of him overlapped with his memory, and Rick looked at Arthur as if he saw the man who was long gone.
