Chapter 30: Assassination
Old Layton's yard was filled with laughter at the moment, and he hadn't been so happy in a long time.
Ling Tianmao's appearance not only saved his youngest grandson, but also opened his eyes at the Wing Music Festival. Of course, what made old Leiden happy was not the vanity that Ling Tianmao might bring him, but the innate fanaticism and pursuit of music as a resident of Hope City.
When most of the people in the city didn't know Ling Tianmao's residence, he could ask him about music as much as he wanted, and when he had dinner in the evening, Old Leiden also frequently toasted Ling Tianmao.
Ling Tianmao also enjoyed such a rare life without having to sleep in the open, his nerves had not been so relaxed for a long time since he left that small cabin.
Of course, he did not refuse Old Leiden's request to let him sing a few more songs, and so the beautiful singing voice sounded again in Old Leiden's house. Tommy sat in the arms of Old Layton's daughter-in-law, waving his arms to the beat, while the other people slowly smiled happily on their faces.
In this war-torn time, perhaps music is the best medicine for their inner wounds. As the moon rose higher and higher in the sky, little Tommy's eyelids slowly sank, and Ling Tianmao and Leiden's wife helped Old Leiden, who was already red from drinking and walking staggeringly, back to the room. Before going out, Old Layton grabbed Ling Tianmao's hand drunkenly:
"Jisang, Dad hasn't heard you sing for a long time, I'm really happy today, how do I remember that our family hasn't sat down and eaten together for a long time, I'm really happy."
Old Leiden's wife kept apologizing to Ling Tianmao, explaining that the reason Old Leiden had mistaken someone was that the happiest time for their family used to be when they sat together for dinner after a day of work, and their son would sing to them after eating, although his singing voice was far less beautiful than Ling Tianmao's.
Seeing the tears that Old Leiden's wife was about to fall, Ling Tianmao smiled and said that he didn't mind, and then broke free of Old Leiden's hand and came to the courtyard alone.
"Dahl, I suddenly understand you a little."
"Huh? What do you understand about me? ”
"Why do you want to fight against Noxus so much?" Ling Tianmao looked at Old Leiden's room, where the lights had gone out, "I never thought about what war means to a nation before, those are all things I have seen in history textbooks, but during this time, although I have only seen very few things, I understand why a nation hates these invaders so much when it faces war." They deprive you of the most basic necessities of life, and it is not surprising that you will rebel when you lose what little you already have. ”
"Will you fight for my freedom of Ionia?"
"Well, well, I still won't, I have something of my own to retrieve." Ling Tianmao touched his head in embarrassment.
"Then why are you talking so much, don't disturb me, I'm going to sleep." Dahl's tone was a little listless.
"Don't be so ruthless, come and talk to me, how can you go to bed so early."
"What are you going to do next?" Dahl asked very abruptly.
"Huh? Me? I'm going to rest here for a day or two, then replenish some supplies and continue to set off, we don't have that much time to delay, you want to go back to Bandle City, I want to go back to my original world, I can't stay here forever. ”
"Well, I thought you had forgotten all of that. I just saw old Layton and was a little worried about my father. ”
"How is it possible, you are not the only one who is homesick......"
……
Outside the courtyard, Ye Fanxin was hiding in the darkness of a street, and when he saw the lights in the courtyard of Old Leiden's house slowly dimming, he let out a long breath.
She secretly followed Ling Tianmao all the way, and finally found a place where he landed. However, she didn't want to attract too much attention, so she originally wanted to wait for the family to rest and go in alone to talk to Ling Tianmao, but she didn't expect them to toss until now.
With a little movement of her numb limbs, she was just about to walk towards the ordinary courtyard, when she noticed that on the other side of the street, three black shadows were also silently approaching there. At the same time, she kept pointing at the house, and vaguely she seemed to hear words like "Wing Festival" and "Colored Ball".
"Who are you?" The three men in black couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw the girl in green who suddenly appeared in front of them, and after a moment of silence, the man in black in the middle asked in a deep voice.
Seeing the golden crow logo on the clothes of the three black-clothed people, Ye Fanxin frowned, she didn't quite understand how Ling Tianmao could have an entanglement with the "raven" people.
"It doesn't matter who I am, I don't know what your purpose is, but go back and tell your master that he had better not touch the people in this house."
"Yo, the little girl has a good tone, do you know who we are?"
"You are wrapped like a rice dumpling, how do I know who you are, but I do know the famous General Svein."
Hearing the girl's words, the three men in black fell silent.
"Since you know our origin and dare to stand here, you must not be an ordinary person, but I will also tell you one thing today, our people, if you go back without completing the task, there is only a dead end, so it is better for you to get out of the way quickly." The man in black in the lead kept recalling in his mind the information sent to them by the organization about the heroes of the mainland, he really didn't remember that the girl in front of him was in the record, in this case, how could the other party dare to go against Lord Svein? However, this world is full of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and he knows that in addition to the records in the data, there are also a considerable number of heroes.
Ye Fanxin on the other side is also quite a headache at the moment, she really doesn't have the ability to use the elements, originally she wanted to scare the other party away first, and then secretly bring Ling Tianmao out, but she didn't expect the "raven" to actually make such perverted rules, if you don't complete the task, you will die, Ye Fanxin has already scolded the rule-maker countless times in her heart.
But now this situation can only be taken seriously, although she is not a hero, but she is also a first-class master among those who can't use elemental power. And the probability that there are heroes among the three people on the opposite side should also be very low, otherwise there is no need to send three people out to kill Ling Tianmao, but in any case, the "raven" sent out to carry out the task is definitely not a waste.
"There's just nothing to talk about." Ye Fanxin pulled out the long sword at his waist, pulled a sword flower, and carried the sword behind his back. Although she quarrels with Suona, she doesn't want the bosom friend that Suona has found so hard to find die in the hands of others for such an inexplicable reason.
The three men in black didn't say much, but each took out a two-inch dagger and made a defensive gesture.
