In the middle of the night, after the lights of the mansion were turned off and the unsuspecting owners had fallen asleep, several fugitives had a secret discussion in a utility room.

“…… Tomorrow, Yumis and the others will be executed in the town square......"

“…… Don't be stupid, Milou, those white gloves of the Holy See deliberately released this news just to catch us for the bait, you forgot ......"

“…… Damn it, those damn white gloves! Those damn traitors! Let me know who exposed our secret den, and I will never let him go! ……”

Lin An listened secretly, and did not appear in front of these chaotic escapes, the moon passed through the middle of the sky unconsciously, Lin An did not hear anything useful, and left quietly.

She sneaked into a guest room, a four-poster bed with a translucent curtain blending in with the darkness, and in the middle of the small bed, one breathed shallowly and slightly.

Lin An smiled slightly, "Don't pretend, I know you're awake." ”

In the end, he was still a child who was less than ten years old, although he was suddenly shocked, he had no experience in the end, and when he heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, and put one hand into the pillow under the cover of his body, and at the same time looked at Lin An vigilantly.

"If I were you, I wouldn't act rashly knowing that there is a huge disparity in strength between myself and my opponent, and you've read some codex left by your mother these days, so you should know the gap between us, right?"

The tulle curtain seemed to be pulled up by an invisible hand, removing the only barrier between them, the boy panicked, his eyes widened, Lin An's smile deepened, and he said softly:

"In addition, the next time you pretend to be asleep, remember to restrain your overactive mental energy."

Her words were so contagious that the boy unconsciously relaxed his tense nerves, and his hand withdrew from under the pillow, his strength finally adjusting to the darkness in the room and seeing the person in front of him.

"Ah, it's you!"

The boy's voice, which had not yet reached the stage of voice change, had the characteristic sharpness of a child's voice, and he forgot to suppress his tone, because he was deeply impressed by the faces of the two people in front of him, one big and one small. At the same time, because Lin An no longer concealed the robe on his body, he also recognized Lin An's true identity.

"You're a mage...... That time, that time at the market, did you save my mother?" Of course, he no longer thinks that his mother was transferred by an evil female mage.

"It's me," Lin An nodded, and without waiting for the boy to show gratitude, he continued, "But then I was the one who deliberately let her be caught by the priest." ”

"Why!" The boy's little face, which had just shown gratitude, quickly distorted, and his pretty eyes were full of hatred. Sharp questioning.

Lin An does not have any sentiments such as "hiding for the dead" or "not destroying the image of the mother in the eyes of the child". Said lightly: "Because she poisoned my black tea." and attempted to hold Athena hostage. ”

Athena puffed out her face with a coherent look of victimhood.

"You lie, my mother is a good person, so she wouldn't do such a thing." Even if the three views are not formed, the boy subconsciously knows that revenge is a contemptible act.

But she did. Because she feared that the Holy See's pursuit would endanger you, she betrayed the benefactor who saved her," said Athena, "just as the mages who watched over you were afraid that you would reveal their whereabouts to the Holy See, so although your father helped them escape, they secretly threatened your father with you, your grandmother, and your brother." ”

The boy's face changed drastically, and it seemed that he was not unaware that he was being watched.

Lin An could sense that the boy's hostility towards them was strong and weak, and it seemed that he had already believed Athena's words a little bit—after experiencing his mother's dying curses to help them exonerate them and burning his mother to death with his own hands, the boy had already learned the darkness of the adult world. His worldview is no longer as pure and black and white as that of a child.

Lin Anxin nodded secretly.

Gifted seedlings are not common, but they can still be measured, but the heart is something that is difficult to judge, and the boy's tolerance and tolerance in this upheaval are the real reasons why Lin An is impressed with him.

"I can save you and your family. Sent to a safe place, no longer hunted down and threatened by the Holy See, and even allowing you to learn magic with peace of mind......"

There were too many messages and shocks received in one night, and the boy was a little confused, even when the biggest secret was revealed, he was only panicked, and there was some disbelief in his beautiful eyes.

Lin An saw it in his eyes and continued: "Of course, you can choose to agree or disagree, I will come back tomorrow night to ask for your answer, but for the safety of your family, it is best not to leak this matter, otherwise the people who are spying on you may find out."

She smiled meaningfully at the boy and raised her hand.

The boy seemed to be surrounded by a stream of warm water, and his eyelids suddenly became heavy, and he soon became groggy and unconscious.

Lin An lifted the shielding spell and the soundproof barrier, and left the boy's aunt's house with Athena.

"Master, aren't you going to save those people from the secret organization?" Athena asked, she had already sensed some clues from Lin An's actions.

"Why should I save them?" Lin An asked with a smile.

"Uh......"

That's true, but for Lin An, it's just a gesture, isn't it?

Athena blinked, and said in a clever reversal, "But there's no reason why you can't save it, right?"

"Clever." Lin An smiled, and then put away his smile, "But I really have a reason." ”

"What reason?" Athena was curious, she had been by Lin An's side all the time, and she didn't see it at all.

"Do you think it's a coincidence that as soon as we came to Nau River City, the secret organization of mages in this city was wiped out?"

Lin An raised his eyebrows, "If this is not, then Allen's father is an ordinary person, but he can cover the fish that slipped through the net to escape the premeditated search, and the wanted mage is still hiding in their aunt's house, with the Allen family as a hostage, and we who are secretly concerned about it, how many coincidences are there?"

Athena realized, "Those wanted mages think tomorrow's execution is bait, but they are actually the bait for us to take the bait!" ”

Lin An nodded lightly, "The peep I noticed a few days ago should be someone from the Holy See, although it has been calm since then, but since we have been following the Allen family, our whereabouts should always be under the control of the other party." ”

???

Topaz's eyes were full of question marks.

Lin Anming knew that their whereabouts were mastered, but she was not flustered, and Athena guessed that she had a plan in her heart.

But after the other party knew their identities and mastered their whereabouts, instead of summoning people to act thunderbolting, they instead used this kind of "fishing" to scratch their boots, and Athena was a little puzzled by the situation.

She intuitively felt that although there had been no communication, Lin An and the presiding officer of the Holy See seemed to have some kind of unusual tacit understanding?

Or had they already exchanged some information in the air when she wasn't noticing?

“…… The world of adults is really incomprehensible. Athena muttered quietly, feeling some pity for the boy in her heart, "Poor Alan, was he traded without knowing it?"

"Elbow out!" Qu Zhi knocked a shiver on the girl's forehead, Lin An withdrew his hand, and chuckled slowly and elegantly, "Since I made a promise, of course I will send the Allen family out safely." ”

Athena covered her forehead aggrievedly and accused, "The master didn't deny it, there was an ulterior motive behind sending Eren and them out!" ”

"Okay, you're right." Lin An's tone was helpless.

"What's that point?" Athena was curious.

“…… Well, I can't tell. "You can only understand it, but you can't say it.

Lin An learned Athena's habitual movements, tilted his head, and smiled a little, "Actually, I'm also a little surprised, the other party seems to know my style of doing things very well, and the tacit understanding is not low - it seems that the other party is an acquaintance of mine......"

Moaning slightly, a lot of things flashed through Lin An's mind.

The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and the other party shows familiarity and tacit understanding of her style, on a certain level, it is equivalent to a confrontation in this game when she doesn't know, and she is still at a disadvantage.

This feeling is undoubtedly not wonderful for Lin An.

Lin An did several divination for this.

Each time, the result shows that the other party is close at hand, an enemy and a friend, but he can't get more information - if it weren't for the fact that he was shielded and protected by the strong in predicting cause and effect, then it is likely that the other party is also good at the prophetic realm, and the level is not much different from her.

Lin An is more inclined to the latter, and as various clues and details are pieced together little by little, the true identity of the other party seems to be slowly emerging.

A qiē is only one fact to prove.

-- An enemy and a friend......

One of the few clues obtained by divination is the reason why Lin An did not immediately hide his traces and leave the danger zone after discovering that he was being spied on a few days ago.

And the rest of the road was calm, without any trace of the enemy, breaking this calm, but also expressing the intention hinted by the other party.

It's just that the current calm and security alone are far from being able to convince Lin An of the other party's sincerity.

Time passes unhurriedly, unaffected by changes in people's hearts, and a noisy and bloody and crazy day, with the scorching light of fire and the cursed hatred of the common people, stains the pure and high sky with a bloodthirsty taste.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the night still falls, and the people in the town square are frenzied and leave the fire with only green smoke.

Lin An Yinuo arrived, and the boy who watched the brutal execution during the day, which brought the nightmare back to his heart, sat at the head of the bed, did not change his pajamas, and his hair was as chaotic as his mood and mental strength at this time.

“…… Why? Why do they rejoice in the death of their fellow Terrans? What did they do wrong? What did my mom do wrong?"

Lin An looked at the boy and asked calmly, "Have you thought about it?"

"Yes, I figured it out," the boy said firmly, trembling slightly, "I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to protect my family." ”…… I want to gain power!

Lin An smiled slightly, "As you wish." ”
