Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fall of the Northern Regions (I)
Dragoon Town, the town governor's office.
Sho home.
Domineering and splendid, richly decorated in a quiet hall.
Qingyan, Mu Wan, and Gu Ping stood aside respectfully, their expressions were serious and dignified, and from time to time they peeked at the eyes of the old man who was in the first seat, full of admiration and fear.
Golden floor tiles, golden talismans, golden seats, golden screens, and an old man in a golden robe.
The old man's eyebrows are like dust, his beard and hair are white, and the wrinkles on his face are deeply piled up, indescribably old, but the old man's face is very kind, giving people a feeling of fairy wind and bones.
Below, in the center of the main hall.
Looking at the white-haired yellow-robed old man in front of him, his consciousness suddenly lost his mind.
Memories that had almost been forgotten gradually came to his mind......
……
The northern region of Kyushu, an unknown valley, is overgrown with weeds and barren world.
This is a place that has been forgotten by the world, even monsters.
But it is a cruel training ground used by the organization to concentrate on domesticating reserve members.
The boy quietly looked at a purple fox locked in a cage and lost his mind slightly.
The young man has a handsome face, short hair, clear eyes full of clarity, and wears shabby standard short clothes.
In front of him was a group of young men dressed in tattered clothes like him, but older, who were clustered around a big man like stars holding the moon.
He was the only one sitting.
He is the instructor of his own group of 573 [Preparing Gray Feathers], but everyone prefers to call him the boss.
Grey Feather is the code name for the Order, representing the lowest official Assassin in the Order.
It is also everyone's hope and future!
……
Suddenly, the young man spoke, and said softly:
"Let it go!"
In the middle of the night, the air fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone present was stunned, they couldn't believe their ears!
The silence lasted for five breaths......
A loud laugh came, and it suddenly exploded like a bomb, causing everyone to laugh
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed and leaned back.
What did they hear? This stinky boy dares to talk to the boss like this??!
Did he eat the bear's heart and leopard gall bladder?!
Or did you go out today and didn't look at the yellow calendar?!
In the crowd, the sitting man was also stunned for a long time, and then laughed:
"Hahahaha...... Did I hear me right? You, a yellow-haired boy who hasn't even touched a knife, usually don't even dare to let out a fart, but today you actually committed a crime with me for a livestock?! ”
As he spoke, he caused a burst of laughter from everyone.
He was only in his thirties this year, and he had become an official Grey Feather Assassin of the Order, a talent that was relatively rare even within the Order.
For some personal reasons, he was sent by his boss to train this group of milky hairy boys.
According to that Akabane-sama, among the more than 500 people, there is a possibility that two gray feathers will be born!
He remembered that he laughed directly at the time, and was scolded by Lord Akabane.
Are you kidding?
Can two gray feathers come out of 500 people?
At that time, when he was still [preparing for the gray feather], there were a full 2,000 people in that group at the same time, didn't he also have a gray feather?
But he still kept the admonition of the adults firmly in his heart, just like every time he went on a mission.
It's his professional habit that will allow him to live longer.
And the young man in front of him is the existence that Lord Akabane has handpicked to take special care of.
At first, he thought that the adults were asking him to show mercy to his subordinates during training and give him a chance to fish in troubled waters, and finally when he couldn't hold on, he took the initiative to quit, so as to save a small life.
Being alive is the greatest gift for people like them!
But he soon discovered that he was wrong.
And it's ridiculously wrong.
The "care" that adults refer to is actually training this teenager to a standard that is ten times more difficult than other people's training, and ...... Live or die!
Dahan still remembers that he was surprised at the time, and he asked why?
Lord Akabane just shook his head helplessly, saying that someone from above specially ordered it, and he didn't know either.
Even Akabane-sama doesn't have enough authority to know?
Where did this boy come from?
……
At this moment, the crowd erupted in another burst of laughter from Hihilara.
"Don't you know that this is for the Third Lady? If the third lady gets such a beautiful fox scarf, she is allowed to say good things in front of the red feather boss, and as soon as the gray feather boss is promoted, we trainee assassins will also be wiped out! ”
Another chimed in: "Yes! Maybe the brothers can be like you, you don't have to carry out those tasks to die, just do training and do chores in the back! ”
"That's it!"
"Hahahaha!"
……
The boy just kept his head down in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the face of the ridicule of the people around him, he turned a deaf ear.
After a while, the young man said softly: "Without a scarf, the third lady can't freeze to death." ”
!!!
There was silence again!
But this time, it was an even more terrible dead silence, and the pin drop could be heard!
Everyone looked at him dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, but they couldn't say a word!
How dare he!
He actually dared to use such a tone to talk about the third lady behind his back, didn't he?!
That's the third lady! Doesn't he want to live?!
At this time, the gray feather man couldn't sit still, and the wine glass in his hand slammed up, splashing all the turbid wine that he had only drunk half of it on the young man's face!
Swish!
The boy did not dodge, did not even raise his head, let the wine spill on his head, and the cloudy wine fell down his face and hair, splashing drop by drop into the loess beneath his feet.
The gray feather man was furious: "What did you say? You repeat! ”
An extremely strong energy momentum began to erupt from his body, and the people around him were startled and hurriedly dodged in all directions.
Everyone showed a frightened look on their faces, although their boss was usually very arrogant, and he scolded his mother with foul language, he looked extremely fierce, but he was actually very good to them.
This kind of goodness is something they can feel firsthand, and they rarely see their boss so angry.
It's just that the young man on the other side was not surprised at all, wiped the wine on his face, and the young man spoke again, still in a calm voice:
I said...... Put it in. ”
Nail!
The crowd's expressions were sluggish, and their brains began to dizzy.
Is he crazy?
He didn't see that the boss was already so angry, how could he dare to go on?!
Does he want to die?!
The gray feather man was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the young man to be so hard-mouthed.
He stepped forward in a rage, his already fierce face was extremely hideous, as if he was going to tear the boy apart alive!
Hands up,
Syllable!
The wine bowl in his hand fell on the young man's head with great force, shattering in an instant!
The boy was stumbled by this powerful force and took a few steps back.
Tick......
A drop of bright red blood suddenly slipped from the boy's face and dripped onto the ground below.
Then the second drop, the third drop......
Everyone was silent, and their faces were terrified!!
……
