Chapter 4: Assassination
"Am I right, Kiora was killed in seconds?"
"He's awakened?"
After a long time, the surrounding people began to discuss, but it was obviously different from the attitude just now, the people who had laughed at Linton before now of course did not dare to laugh at him anymore, not only that, but the people around them did not dare to look into Linton's eyes now, and when they saw Linton turn his head, they quickly turned their heads.
"Anything else? Or do you want to arrest me and go to jail? Linton didn't bother to care about these melon-eating people, but turned to the three city guards next to him, these three were Chiora's subordinates, and those fox friends who had talked about Linton's money before.
The three of them were obviously frightened, and stood stunned and did not dare to speak. Kiora was seconded, what else could they do.
"Get out of here with this, and remember my words, and give you ten days to scrape together enough money to pay it back." Linton said.
The three of them hurried to the place where Chiora fell, and when they saw that Kiora had been beaten beyond recognition, his face was crooked, and it was estimated that his mother would not recognize him. didn't dare to stay, the three of them picked up Chiora and left. When the surrounding people saw this situation, they also slowly dispersed, although they didn't say anything, but everyone understood that now the strongest person in this town has been replaced.
Of course, in fact, Linton also had a lot of questions in his mind. The authenticity of this system has been confirmed, and it does increase one's strength, but the question is ...... What the hell is going on with this system? Where did it come from? What about the short time crossing before?
"Less...... Master. At this time, Uncle Eke also stood up from the ground, although his stomach was probably still hurting, but he couldn't care about it, and immediately asked, "Have you awakened your fighting spirit?" ”
"Do you think so?" Linton asked.
"This ...... The old servant doesn't know. Eck said.
"I know you want to go back, but even if you awaken your vindictive spirit at the age of 19, do you think the main family will pay attention to me?" Linton asked.
"This ......" Eke was originally very happy, but when he heard Linton's words, he was also poured a bucket of cold water, because there was really no problem.
"Do you know the proverbs of our Merovues?" Linton said suddenly.
"Huh?" Eke was stunned, to be honest, he has served in the Merlowe family for decades, and it seems that he has really never heard of any family mottos or anything like the Merlowe family. After thinking about it, Eke decided to follow Linton's line of thought and said, "If you have a debt, you have to pay it?" ”
"Nonsense, where did our family get such proverbs." Linton said.
"This ......" Eke looked at Linton with a confused expression, and the meaning in his eyes was probably "you know this, too".
"The motto of our Merlowe family, self-improvement, means not to care too much about what others think, and to strengthen yourself......" Linton said with a reverent face.
"......" Ike was a little speechless, what the hell is this, there is no such family motto at all, okay, can you still make it up.
"You're really okay, you need to find a doctor...... Pharmacist take a look? Linton asked, looking at Ek, who was still protecting his stomach.
"It's okay, I'm used to being beaten, this little injury." Eke said.
"Young Master...... What's going on? At this time, Radno, who went to call Linton before, rushed to the house, and of course he couldn't understand what was happening when he saw the situation at the scene. Looking at the scene again, why did the wooden shed at the door collapse? Hands-on? What the hell is going on?
"Go buy some meat and have a good meal today." Linton looked at Radno and said as he pulled some money out of his package.
"Huh? This money ...... "Radno is really a little confused, shouldn't all the money be given to Chiora?" Where did the money come from?
"Go ahead." Ike here also smiled and said.
I don't know how, but Radno went to buy it. And on the way to buy something, the news that Linton defeated Kiora also spread. The town is not big in the first place, and although the oral method is not very efficient, it is enough here.
Knowing this, Radno was really shocked, in his opinion, this is really unlikely, Kiora is the captain of their city guard, he knows the other party's ability best, although Linton is stronger than him, but there is still a big gap compared to the captain, how did this suddenly reverse.
Hurrying home, Radno immediately asked about it. Linton smiled slightly: "Do you know our family's motto? ”
Ike, who was cooking next to him, sighed in his heart, this is going to be made up again.
Sure enough, Linton quickly said: "The gentleman hides the weapon in his body and uses it when the time comes, which means that I am awesome is a fact, but I don't need to tell you, you can experience it yourself, understand?" ”
"I don't understand, but I feel amazing when I hear it." Radno said he was unaware.
"Okay, eat." Eke didn't know what was going on, Linton basically didn't say a few words in the past month, but today he suddenly felt like a different person, not only in terms of strength he couldn't understand, but also inexplicably began to make up nonsense, you see the bluffing Radno was stunned. If he hadn't been from the Merlowe family, he would have thought that the Merlowe family's proverbs were so many that they exploded.
Eke didn't ask much, and the three of them began to eat. During the meal, Linton also asked a little question, only to find that his family's economic situation was really worrying. Not to mention 10 silver coins, it is estimated that 5 silver coins are difficult to make up, and the only source of income for the family is the leather workshop behind their house, and now it is not enough to even buy raw materials. Thinking of this, Linton really wanted to kill Chiora, although there was little hope, he still hoped that he could pay back some money, otherwise why keep him.
"By the way, young master, I almost forgot." Halfway through eating, Eck suddenly said, "Lord Tirwin, the mayor of the town, has returned, and seems to have brought a letter from the Lord's house, and he has someone to inform you that you are free to go." ”
"Letters from the Lord's house?" Linton didn't know much about the Merlowe family, at least he hadn't seen any of the Merlowe family, and most of the things he had heard from Ek. Of course, he doesn't have any memories of his own body, and to be honest, he doesn't really want to have anything to do with the Merlowe family, but it's too much of an exaggeration for you not to get the letter.
"I know, it's late today, let's go tomorrow." Linton nodded in reply.
After dinner, Radno's job was over, and he went straight home, leaving only Linton and Eck. There is not much activity here at night, and there is not so much spare money to buy lamps and candles for lighting, it is dark, go to bed early and get up early. Linton lived alone in a fairly clean room on the second floor, while Eck had a large bunk on the first floor.
The two fell asleep early, although a lot of things happened today, but Linton belonged to the people who fell asleep on the pillow, and fell asleep directly. However, in the middle of the night, a black shadow opened the second-floor window and entered Linton's room.
"The fourth son of the Merlowe family, you are a little strange." The shadow whispered, but it didn't wake Linton on the bed, and with that, the other man drew his weapon, and the sword glowed coldly in the moonlight.
There is no doubt that this person is here to assassinate Linton, looking at Linton who was sleeping soundly on the bed, the other party directly raised his sword and swung it down.
"Hostile target detected, confirmed host is out of consciousness, and auto-combat mode is activated."
At this moment, Linton on the bed suddenly made a force, and his body moved a step to the left, dodging the other party's blow. The Assassin was stunned by his sudden action, and before he could recover his senses, Linton suddenly sat up straight from the bed, and then slapped the bed board and threw himself at the other man.
"Huh? Hmm...... "At this time, Linton had just woken up, and what he saw was the picture of himself rushing towards the other party, he was really confused, what was the situation?"
Before he could figure out what was going on, Linton had already grabbed the other man's hand holding the sword, and then broke it out in a very standard position. This is clearly an attempt to disarm. Because Linton's strength was so amazing, the assassins on the opposite side all showed surprised expressions.
"No, what's going on?" At the same time, Linton couldn't help but ask, "Assassin?" ”
Probably see the other party's dress clearly, what else can be the situation in this outfit, there are assassins in the house? Who sent it? The first thing that came to Linton's mind was Chiora, but the next second, he ruled out that option.
Listening to the other party's whisper, suddenly the light on his body flashed, Linton's hand was inexplicably bounced out, this is not over, the other party followed with a kick, and heard a loud noise, Linton's whole person was kicked out of the wall, and fell directly from the second floor of his house.
"? Vindictive? "Although Linton has never seen a Dou Qi user, he has been listening to Eke talk about it, and it must be that the other party is using Dou Qi in this situation. Since the other party is a master of fighting spirit, he is definitely not a person like Kiora who can afford to invite him, he is just the captain of the city guard of a border town, what qualifications do you have to invite a master of fighting spirit to assassinate him, so who sent it?
"Bang", just thinking about it, Linton's body has completed the flip in the air, a very standard landing position, unloading all the momentum, Linton also remembered that he has entered an automatic combat state that cannot control his body again. But it's strange that when he fought with Kiora just now, he obviously didn't activate this state, and he thought that it couldn't be activated here, so why did he start it again.
"Please ask the host for more information about the battle." Suddenly, the voice said.
Linton thought about it, it was estimated that the other party didn't know what the fighting spirit was, and he just shouted, it probably thought it knew. But he really didn't know anything, but there was one thing he understood now, and he shouted directly: "Run!" ”
