Raymond never thought that a person could age like that in a short period of time.

Half a moon was gone, and when he saw Madame Lance again, he almost couldn't believe that the gray-haired old lady in front of him could be the peerless Madame Lance when he first met.

"You mean... Mark later went to Philip to work as a boilermaker for decades? ”

"Hmm."

"A few years ago he married a widow with three daughters?"

"Yes..."

"Hey... He's still having a hard time. What did he say when he asked you to bring me a message? ”

"He said... If you're still alive, make sure you live well. ”

"Giggle~ That guy wouldn't say such a thing. That's what you said, right? ”

“...”

In the living room of Baylor Manor, Raymond sat upright on a chair and took a sip of tea. He's been in the manor for almost an hour. And across from him was the elegant and dignified Mrs. Erance. She always sat with her waist upright and her hair meticulously combed, although her face was now full of wrinkles, but her delicate features in her youth could be faintly seen.

Oh, and she also reverted to her real name, Avalis Baylor. Although her face is no longer there, the silver hair also makes the wisdom charm on her body more and more intense.

The two asked and answered, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Raymond also unreservedly told the old Mark about all these years. Avalis seemed to be listening to someone else's story, and there was always a smile on his lips, but he was smiling and smiling, and his eyes were a little sparkling.

After the story is told, it is finally time for this relationship to end.

After listening to the story, Avalis felt that the shadow in his heart was already very faint, and he was no longer sad. She took off the fishbone necklace that had been hanging around her neck for thirty years, and cut off the last bit of thought with her own hands.

"It's been almost thirty years... When he gave me this fishbone necklace, he was your age. ”

She rubbed the fishbone necklace, her eyes were full of reminiscence, and said: "What he gave me back then, now I give it to you, and I can be regarded as returning it to him." ”

This paragraph originally thought it would be a luxurious love for the world, but after all, it failed to withstand the reality and fell into clichés.

Thirty years of glory, thirty years of day and night thoughts...

When she took off the necklace, there was finally an ending.

"This..."

Raymond was a little overwhelmed, he didn't know whether to take it or not. These two jade fish bones, which are divided into two, were once their love tokens.

Avalis seemed to mean something, and said with a smile: "When you meet the girl you like in the future, be bold." If you don't take the initiative, the girls think you don't like her. Family background or something, in fact, is not the most important. If you miss a lot of things once, you miss them for a lifetime..."

Hearing this, Raymond instantly thought of Erin, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes. Now that I think about it, I was really wooden at the beginning.

Avalis looked at Raymond and probably guessed that he had a girl he liked.

She had love in her eyes, as if she were looking at her own son.

Crunch~

She was about to say something, but at that moment, the door to the living room opened softly, and a small head poked in.

"That..."

Look at the goblin's rolling eyes, who is it not Elijah?

"Auntie, have you talked about it, I didn't bother you, did I?"

"You girl..."

Avalis swallowed, smiled and shook his head, "Come in." ”

Ilya's little face blushed slightly, and she walked in with a twist. Today she is wearing a swan feather black and gold-rimmed mini gauze skirt, a black swan hairpin, a slender neck and a large piece of beautiful back exposed, and a pair of slender legs are exposed to the air without concealment. This hot outfit is obviously charming and sexy beyond this girl's age.

Avalis looked at her sexy mature dress and raised her eyebrows. Dressed like this, no wonder you don't dare to come in and let people look at it.

She asked, "Ilya, it's getting dark, you change your outfit... Are you ready to go out? ”

"Yes! I'm going to take Nicholas to visit the royal capital..."

Ilya blinked, and added, "Father-in-Majesty said it before. ”

Avalis secretly quenched, where did he not know this girl's thoughts, and joked: "Isn't it better to visit the royal capital during the day, do you have to go at night?" ”

"Oops, Auntie... Apparently Nicholas said he was going to go at night, don't you believe you asked him? ”

Ilya turned to Raymond and asked, "Really, Nicholas?" ”

“...”

Raymond laughed dryly twice, not daring to talk.

Avalis smiled and shook his head, his gaze more loving. She didn't intend to stop her, and said, "Be careful... Recently, the king has not been at peace, and he will come back early when he goes. ”

Listen, Ilya was instantly overjoyed. She stuck out her tongue and nodded obediently, "Yes, auntie." ”

Avalis left the fishbone necklace and went out by himself, giving two meaningful glances, "You young people talk, I'll leave first." ”

"Walk slowly, auntie."

Ilya watched the door close, and immediately changed into a happy and lively smile, jumped up and down to Raymond, and pulled him out, "Uncle, let's go!" ”

"Where are you going?"

Raymond was stunned for a moment.

"Huh?"

Ilya asked with a puzzled expression, "You didn't come to me to take me to the 'Musket Rose Tavern'?" ”

"I'm here to find your brother..."

Without mentioning this stubble, Raymond almost forgot about it again, and hurriedly remedied: "Of course, I also came to you." ”

He did come to Ilya for something, but he didn't want to take her to the Musket Rose Tavern, but wanted her to help him seal the soul of the Golden Tooth Gulev and comprehend the mystery.

Since Salo I was seriously injured by shelling two years ago, the palace has been semi-closed. Raymond tried to inquire about the channels he was familiar with in the game in his previous life, but he couldn't enter the palace in a short time. And Salo I is dying, if he doesn't find a way to rescue him as soon as possible, I'm afraid Anna's life is in danger.

No, he was going to find Matthew to see if they could let him into the palace. Even if he couldn't, he planned to send the "life potion" that Lulu had prepared to the palace through the channel of the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce, which could hang his life for at least a month. As long as Salo I survived for a while, he had enough people in the world to find a way to blend into the palace.

"Huh... Isn't this my aunt's jade fishbone necklace? She gave it to you? ”

Ilya's eyes sharpened and saw the necklace in Raymond's hand.

She was also unceremoniously, neatly like a cat's claw, snatched it up, and said excitedly with a little face: "Oh, I used to want to wear it, but my aunt didn't let me touch it..."

As she spoke, she directly tried to wear the necklace on her neck, turned her face and asked, "Is it beautiful?" ”

The Baylor family is a family of jewelers, and this jade fishbone necklace is a masterpiece of meticulously polished jewelry, although the shape is simple, but it exudes a simple and subtle luxury. Ilya wore it around her neck, and the black swan court skirt with a silver luxury necklace was like the finishing touch, making her exude a sexy and luxurious temperament immediately.

Raymond glanced at it casually, and also thought it was very pleasing to the eye, "It's good-looking." ”

"Really?"

Ilya's eyes rolled and she said expectantly, "That... Gave it to me? ”

“...”

Raymond felt that it didn't seem to be suitable, but it seemed that it was useless to keep this thing in his hands, so he spread his hands and said, "If you like it, just take it." ”

"Thank you."

Ilya's eyebrows curled with a smile.

She took Raymond's hand and said, "Let's go, it will be dark in a while, and the tavern should start to be lively." ”

......

The sun is setting in the west, and night is falling.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, three sneaky figures tumbled down the low wall at the back of Baylor Manor and quietly left behind. Even if the servants of the manor saw it, no one dared to stop it, because it was the young master and the young lady of their own family who went out over the wall.

The three Raymonds did not dare to call the manor's car, but stopped a steam locomotive on the street.

The three of them and one monkey entered the closed carriage, and Matthew patted his chest and exhaled.

He looked at Raymond with a miserable face and said, "Brother Nicholas, if my father finds out, you have to testify to me, I don't want to go to any musket tavern, but this girl must pull me there... Otherwise, I won't be able to save this leg. ”

Although the Baylor family is a business family, they have a strict family education, and they are no worse than those high-ranking nobles. The underage girls in the family are not allowed to touch the tavern where dragons and snakes are mixed at all. What's more, it's still the eldest lady of the main family, Ilya. Matthew has been carrying the black pot for his goblin sister since he was a child, and he has been beaten a lot. But in any case, he didn't dare to take Ilya to the "Musket Rose Tavern", a place where the king was famous for his lustful affairs.

"Hmm."

Raymond also nodded with a smile. He was just going to talk to Matthew about business, but he didn't want to, and the fat man was also pulled out by this girl.

"Hey, hey, hey... What are your expressions? ”

Seeing Matthew's expression on the thief ship, Ilya was obviously a little unhappy.

"Do you really think your sister ran out because I was playful?!"

She looked at her brother with disgust and said, "My stupid brother! Do you know that it will be dangerous for you not to stay with us now? ”

"I can't hide your motive for being playful with no excuses..."

Matthew rolled his eyes and muttered something quietly.

"Humph!"

Ilya ignored him, and asked Raymond faintly, "Uncle, you don't think the same, do you?" ”

Raymond snorted and said, "Although I think Matthew is right. But Ilya, you do this... There must be something else to be done. ”

Ilya was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and said directly: "Someone has found out about the Nigel Volcano. Someone approached Kitts two days ago, and probably got some news. Someone has been secretly investigating me and Matthew for the past two days..."

Matthew's expression froze, "And this is the case?" How did I not know? ”

"When you know, the opponent has a lot of dishes."

Ilya's mouth is still very poisonous.

After a pause, she said again: "The person who came is a very powerful spiritual transcendent, and my brother and I have been hypnotized and tortured by her. The man's torture methods were very professional, not like the giant whale's people, but like the military. Probably... In addition to um the people you killed last time, there may be people with more sensitive identities. ”

Raymond frowned when he heard this, and said, "Hmm... Wind Wolf Mercenary Captain [Rock Bear] White is the captain of the Black Sea CP9, the world's capital government. ”

"No wonder."

Ilya snorted, not much of a surprise. She asked instead, "Uncle, you were the one who killed the second prince Bantu yesterday, right?" ”

Raymond thought that he would tell her about the gold tooth anyway, so he didn't hide it, and nodded: "Hmm." ”

"You can really cause trouble..."

Ilya complained and said, "I said why since last night, there have been masters of Sequence 5 directly watching the manor... I thought it was my stupid brother who showed his feet, but now that I think about it, they should be suspicious of you. ”

Stupid brother?

Matthew listened to it with a bad temper, but the topic he was talking about now was a bit high-end, and he didn't seem to be able to interject. Ever since his sister inherited the high priest's lineage, he always felt that his IQ was plummeting, and he couldn't understand many words.

"The last time you used teleportation to kill that MI officer in the Brown Bear Territory, and yesterday you killed the second prince Bantu in the same way, and the traces are already obvious... The people in Tianlan's MI will definitely rule out people who have been going to the Brown Bear Collar recently. They found Kitts first, so they must have guessed that we had contact with our people at Nigel Volcano and um as well. Now that all the people of the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group are dead, those people naturally set their eyes on us..."

Ilya shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, Matthew and I have roots in the king, and they will find it clear as soon as they investigate." And you, uncle..."

She said, squinting her eyes like a little fox, and said faintly: "You can deceive us with the identity of Baron Nicholas Zhao Si, who is the leader of Natianan, and you will definitely not be able to deceive the people of the MIA... Your identity is so suspicious, and your swordsmanship is very good, they will definitely suspect you..."

Finally, she asked, "Uncle, what is your real name?" ”

In fact, not only Ilya, but Matthew had already guessed that Raymond's name of Nicholas was a pseudonym. But this kind of thing, people didn't say it, and he didn't ask about it. What's more, it doesn't mean much to know what your real name is.

Raymond raised his eyebrows, not answering. He immediately sensed that the "Qi" behind the steam locomotive, who had very professional tracking methods, were coming at him, and asked instead, "So... The people who are following us are probably coming for me, right? ”

Matthew was stunned: "We are still followed by people?" ”

"yes!"

Ilya apparently had already noticed it, and said, "So, my stupid brother, do you now know that I didn't come up just to go to the tavern?" ”

Matthew glanced at Ilya's flamboyant outfit and pouted. No matter how you explain the cover-up, you're obviously dressed up and want to sneak out to play.

"In that case, those who catch up will probably find a chance to test me if I'm the Assassin... I want to kill them easily, but..."

Raymond pondered for a moment and said to Elijah, "But if I kill them, then this will make CP9 and the people in the Tianlan MI Department confirm that I am the murderer of the two assassinations." When the time comes, it may affect your Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce..."

Ilya seemed to have thought of a way to do it, and smiled confidently, "So, these people can't be killed for the time being." But what... And they must dispel their suspicions about you. ”

"If I don't kill them, they'll find a way to test me..."

As soon as Raymond spoke, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

"Or else?"

Ilya turned her little face to the side arrogantly, as if she had been wronged, "Uncle, don't you think I'm just playful and want to go to the tavern like my stupid brother?" ”

"Of course not!"

Raymond coped with the question duplicitously and asked directly, "That... What should I do? ”

Ilya's tsundere pretended to be cold and stepped down in a second.

When she heard Raymond's inquiry, she immediately said with a mysterious expression: "Uncle, if you were present at the same time as that 'assassin', wouldn't you dispel the suspicions of those people?" ”

"Present at the same time?"

Raymond was stunned.

Isn't he the assassin, how can he be there at the same time?
