Chapter 30: The Past of Hulymu
After the problem of the northern province was solved, Ye Chen and the others completed several tasks one after another, perhaps because they felt the recent successive actions of the royal family, and some nobles with careful thoughts collected them one after another. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The Connors Empire was calm for a while, and the prestige of the royal family was also rising steadily, and Emperor Frank was so happy that he let Ye Chen and the others take a long vacation.
Helim, who was finally able to rest, is going to go to the Thieves' Guild to see if he can make some extra money during the break, and by the way, he also goes to see those old friends from the past.
Coming to the above-ground bar of the Thieves' Guild, Hulim saw at a glance that two thieves, one tall and one short, were sighing, and asked for three glasses of wine from the bartender, Hulim put the wine on the table and smiled: "What? Did you fail again in your mission? ”
The two thieves looked up and saw Helim with a smile on his face, and their eyes shone with surprise and grabbed Helim's arm excitedly, "Helim, it's you kid, it's been a long time!" I heard that you have been helping His Majesty the Emperor recently, is it true? ”
Helim was stunned for a moment and then smiled and nodded, "yes, but how do you know?" It's been a long time since I've been back to Fina. ”
"Haha! Forget what we're doing, just ask around in the guild about this kind of news. You kid, don't forget us. The tall thief patted Hulim on the shoulder and laughed.
The short thief stabbed Hulim in the chest and asked with a golden glint in his eyes, "Hulim, then you must have many rewards for helping His Majesty the Emperor?" Tell us what they have, is there a reward for you a beauty? ”
Hulim smiled mysteriously and shook his head, and the tall thief immediately stretched out five fingers and asked, "That's money, eh, is there such a number?" ”
Helim shook his head again, and the two of them suddenly asked in unison, "What is that?" You can't have nothing, right? ”
Hulim slowly raised his wine glass and took a sip, and said with a righteous face: "How can you be rewarded for helping His Majesty the Emperor, you two are vulgar?" Just ask you if you are vulgar? ”
"Cut! Pretending to be struck by lightning, I don't believe you didn't want a reward. ”
"It's just that Helimu, who has always loved beautiful women and money, doesn't want to be rewarded, who can't believe it."
"I believe it!" A low, hoarse voice rang out behind the trio, and when Hulim turned his head to see the comer, his eyes began to become bloodshot, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, "Connell! ”
Conrad grinned and sat down at the table, and cynically said, "Hulim, yes, you're tall." It's not like a gangster like it used to be, and you see that the taste in clothes is different now, tsk! Yes, yes, there has been progress, and I am very gratified. ”
"Conrad, why don't you die!" Hulim jerked to his feet and pointed at Conrad, looking like he might burst out at any moment.
Conrad ignored Helim's appearance, slowly picked up the wine in front of Helim, took a sip and smiled, "Have you forgotten that what I'm best at is pretending to be dead?" Didn't I just deceive the old man and kill him back then? Do you feel disappointed and unwilling? ”
"Conrad, you give me death!"
Seeing that Helim had entered a state of rage and the dagger was already in his hand, the short thief hurriedly grabbed Helim to stop him from making the next move, while the tall thief hurried into Helim's ear and whispered, "Hulim, don't be impulsive, have you forgotten that you can't do anything here?" Do you want to be removed from the guild and face endless hunting for the rest of your life? ”
The anger in Hulim's eyes subsided slightly when he heard this, and with a cold snort, he put away the dagger and poured a big sip of the wine that had caught the short thief, and said, "Say, what are you doing here?" Did you come to provoke me, then I can tell you that you succeeded. ”
Conrad shook his finger and said, "No, no, of course not, I'm here to tell you that my master is very unhappy with your recent actions, and he has decided to play with you, please wait and see." ”
"Aren't you? When you're done, get out and tell your master, we're not even afraid of the Hamill family, and we're still afraid of you? Hulim snorted coldly and waved at Conrad like a fly.
"Okay, I'll pass this on to my master, Hulim, and I hope you can kill me next time." Conrad smiled and got up and walked out of the bar.
After Conrad left, Hulim's face was instantly full of anxiety, although he said it so proudly just now, but in fact, he was still very anxious in his heart, after all, the other party was in the dark, and we were in the light, if the other party made any moves, there was no way to prevent it, and there was no way to investigate, so it could only be passively defended.
The more Hulim thought about it, the more upset he became, and he asked for another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, but he still couldn't calm down, so he could only get up and say goodbye to his two friends, and the two thieves were also very knowledgeable and knew that Hulim had something important, so they let Hulim leave without much help.
Back at the palace, Hulim immediately found Ye Chen and relayed what Conrad said, and Ye Chen immediately said that he would inform Emperor Frank of this matter and ask him to take more precautions. Hulim then went back to his room, carefully took out a somewhat worn wooden box from under the bed and placed it on the bed, then opened the wooden box again and took out a dark dagger in his hand.
Looking at the dagger in his hand, Ye Chen choked up and said: "Master, no, father, I thought I had avenged you, but who would have thought that the hateful guy of Conrad deceived me like he deceived you with fake death back then, I hate myself for being incompetent and not being able to find out that he faked his death, but don't worry, I will definitely kill Conrad to avenge you, father!" ”
"There's a fart to cry, if it's a man, wipe away your tears and continue to work hard, what is it like!" Ye Chen's voice sounded at the door of the room, and Hulim looked back to find that Ye Chen was leaning against the door frame and looking at him with disdain.
"Ye Chen, I ......"
"Alright, I'm not here to comfort you." Ye Chen walked into the room, picked up the dagger in Hulim's hand and asked, "Can you tell me what's going on?" ”
Helim wiped away his tears and said slowly: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have been living by stealing in the city of Phinea until I was 8 years old when I was discovered by a nobleman for stealing and was almost killed, but fortunately a thief passed by at that time and rescued me, and since then I have become his adopted son and his disciple.
He also had a disciple at the time, who was Conrad, and during the time he became his adopted son, although he was trained miserably every day, it was the happiest time I lived, but everything began to change when my father got the dagger, which was said to have been left behind after the death of a thief god, and no one knew about it.
But Conrad didn't know where to learn about the existence of this weapon, and several times wanted his father to give this dagger to the Thieves' Guild, but his father knew that he had actually reached an agreement with a certain nobleman, so he refused to hand over the dagger, and Conneid, who had tried to persuade him many times to no avail, finally killed his father at the instigation of that nobleman, but he still couldn't get the dagger, because my father had already given it to me long ago, and this was the only relic my father left me. ”
After listening to Hulim's account, Ye Chen was silent for a long time, and finally patted Hulim to stand up and stare into his eyes and asked, "Do you want to kill him?" ”
"Ye Chen, I ......"
"Do you want to or don't want to?"
A flash of hatred flashed in Hulim's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, of course I want to, but I ......"
Ye Chen slapped Hulim on the back and smiled: "Don't do it, I can help you kill him once, I can help you kill him a second time, not to mention that I have now lifted the backlash of the rules of the world, and I have also recovered some of my strength due to the blessing of misfortune, I am afraid that he will be a ball!" ”
"Okay, Ye Chen, I believe in you, you will definitely help me!"
"Haha, of course, who made us friends!"
