Chapter Ninety-Four: Listening to My Uncle's Story (I)
About a few minutes ago.
"Is that really okay?"
Ricky hesitated, or apprehensive.
"No problem! We'll listen to it for a moment! You're curious, aren't you? ”
Tom pouted, and he and Jerry had a long-standing dispute over whether or not Sulia and Mu Yan were lovers, and planned to eavesdrop on the wall. The two knew that they couldn't hide it from Ricky, so they simply dragged him into the water.
And the most important thing is that among the current group of people in the team, only the Tallinn people can quietly break through the barrier under Mu Yanbu. Mr. Glazer looks like he can, but you expect him to turn his elbow out? With this old guy's black belly, you were sold by him and stupidly counted the money for him, and the guy named Bane knew it quietly.
Ricky seemed hesitant, and Jerry gritted his teeth and pulled out a packet of spices.
"This is the last packet of hot pot base, if you don't agree, I'll burn it - how can you rob it!?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the package in his hand was snatched away by the Tallinns.
In the face of the speed of a legendary assassin, he really wasn't enough to see.
The Tallinn man weighed his weight, touched his goatee and said, "Deal." ”
……
A few minutes later, three sneaky figures stuck to the door of Mu Yan's room. Ricky hung upside down on the lampstand with his tail as usual, dragging the other two in his hands, one left and one right.
He hadn't forgotten Mu Yan's perception network, and he could only hope that this kid still forgot about the lampstand.
Now it seems that after so long, he hasn't warned the three of them with "Mage's Romance", so he should not have noticed.
Tom pressed the other end of the specially treated trumpet-shaped radio to the wall, and put his ear to the other end, listening carefully to the movement in the room.
"Don't be nervous."
It seemed to be Mu Yan's voice, Tom thought.
……
"It might be a little painful ...... next"
Not...... Seem......
……
"Then I'll get started."
……
Jerry watched Tom's expression become more and more strange from normal, and his mouth opened wider and wider, and he knew that things were going out of the ordinary, so he wanted to listen to them.
However, he only had one ear, and the radio had only one mouth, and Tom reached out to block it while he reached out to grab it, and the two of them fought and pushed each other, like the pendulum of a wall clock, which swung irrepressibly in the air, and then hit the wall with a "bell".
Even though Ricky saw that the situation was not good, he quickly dragged the two of them back, like a cat carrying a fat and lively grass carp in each hand, but it could not change the fact that Tom's head was gently brushing the skin of the wall.
The sound was faint, but he knew it had been discovered.
"I knew I shouldn't have come out with you two."
Ricky left the two of them and ran away without saying a word, and in order to escape, the Tallinn people even used the secret technique of hidden light that had not been shown in front of Mu Yan - that is, to turn into a light BIU and escape.
"What do you hear?" Jerry was still asking.
"Mr. Mu Yan said, 'He's going to start,' and then you interrupted him." Tom was honest.
"Shall we run, then?"
"What do you say?"
However, just before the two of them could lift their feet, a thick purple sword light shot out of the door panel, and the heavily armed Morning Star Rose still had a faint blush on her face that could be easily misunderstood.
Tom gave Jerry a "I'm right" look.
Jerry replied to him with a "You still have time to say this".
At the same time, six ice walls suddenly appeared around the two of them, and the two of them shivered with a cold chill, but the floor and walls around them were normal and undisturbed.
These six walls blocked all the escape directions of the two men, leaving only a gap facing the door, or the sword light coming from the door.
"We apologize! I'm sorry! We were all instructed by Mr. Ricky! ”
Jerry fell to the ground with a puff and threw a black cauldron to the Tallinnians.
The sword light stopped a few centimeters above the heads of the two of them, and Yu'er disappeared.
Mu Yan stepped forward and patted Surya's back helplessly, as if to appease her own fried cat, and the female swordsman snorted and turned to leave.
"Two, just like you're joking, she's joking, or it wouldn't have been the door panel that's being smashed." He pointed to the smashed door panel and explained with a smile.
"Also, please inform Mr. Ricky to come to me with a brand new door panel, and I have something to ask him."
"That'...... Mr. Mu Yan, is it time to put away the ice wall? ”
"Of course."
……
Ricky was very nervous when he came in, for fear that he would step on the static trap and be tied up by Mu Yan in a shameful way.
Although he has the dignity and strength of being a legendary assassin, he always has a chill behind him in the face of Mu Yan, especially now that he is still at a loss.
"Don't be so careful, Mr. Ricky, am I the kind of person who is cautious?" Mu Yan's smile is harmless to humans and animals, and this smile was learned from Glazer.
Ricky sneered in his heart, you master and apprentice......
Hehehe.
The Tallinn people sat down cautiously, staring at Mu Yan while not forgetting to be ready to flee at any time.
Just as his buttocks touched the stool, the armrests on both sides of the wooden chair suddenly bound towards him like vines sticking out of their claws, and the backrest also showed a rugged and tangled appearance.
Ricky had been prepared, and escaped as the vines contracted into a cloud of silver-white dust.
"Is that it?" Mu Yan turned around and asked.
Surya nodded, her face solemn.
"Mr. Ricky, can you tell me the name of this technique?" He asked, "Surya learned a very similar swordsmanship to it in Lokan. ”
The dust of the light recondensed into a human form, and Mu Yan controlled the chair to return to its original state.
"It's called 'Hidden Light Technique', it comes from the Templar, not a Tallinn technique." Ricky explained, "I also have a question, remember you said, that guy with long ears, the totem of their race is 'moon'?" ”
"That's right."
"Then 'moonlight' refers to the light emitted by the 'moon'?"
Mu Yan nodded, suddenly remembering that Ricky had said that the two swords of Yaksha and Sanhua would resonate in the moonlight......
So, this pair of swords is not Heru's thing?
He jerked his head up and looked at the Tallinn with an equally shocked expression.
"Let me ask you, in your world, isn't it a race with long ears that can come into contact with 'moonlight'?" Ricky seemed a little nervous, his eyes full of anticipation.
"The moon is like the sun, uh, I mean it's a light source." Mu Yan explained, and suddenly remembered that Heru didn't even have the sun, so he took out a lighting crystal.
"It's like a light source like this, hanging in the sky for half a day. It is not exclusive to any race. ”
Ricky stood up and grabbed him by the arm.
This feeling gave Mu Yan a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had told Zaix that he had met Grace in Heru the same way.
He had never seen a Tallinn man lose his temper like this.
"Mr. Ricky, can you tell me your story?" Mu Yan said softly.
"I'm sorry, I overreacted."
The Tallinn realized that he was overly nervous, let go of his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly, then with a sad expression.
"Where to start, start with the old hatred between the Tallinn dynasty and the Templars......"
……
Heru is surrounded by the endless Nilfheim and the fog to the southwest, the River Styx runs diagonally, occupied to the north by the mysterious Orientals, Tallinns, and former Ambri, and to the south by the port of Geoor, where the Miltides are located, the city of Vadan and a number of small and medium-sized city-states.
Almost not many people know about the Templars, and their members are secretive, erratic, possessed by special skills, and have many secret treasures, and if it weren't for their repeated attempts to invade the Tallinn Sanctuary "Dark Lands", Ricky would not have known about its existence, let alone known Momoya.
Probably more than 700 years ago, the Tallinn Empire, fed up with the unbridled harassment of the Templars, decided to complete the battle with one battle, gathering most of the Assassins in the clan who were good at concealment and tracking, and followed them all the way to the Templar's lair, completely destroying them after paying a heavy price, not only avenging the tragic deaths of the Templar Assassins over the years, but also bringing their secret treasures back to the clan as trophies, including the Whirlwind Annihilation used by Gondor and the Scattered Night Sword in Ricky's hands. The former was brought back as a long knife and was reforged to become a whirling blade.
However, what they never expected was that the Templars sent two well-disguised Assassins to infiltrate the hinterland of Tallinn, and after failing to enter the dark land, not only did they not leave, but instead gained the trust of the Tallinn people as tourists, and lived with their athletic skills.
These were two women, tall, dark-skinned one named Mercury and the other petite named Lanaya, both of whom had nothing to do with the Orientals in terms of appearance or name, let alone from the Templars, and the Tallinns were not very wary of a hearty victory.
Because the air of Heru contains a large amount of abundant soul energy, the average life expectancy here is terrifying, and some wizards have even proposed the "eternal life theory". Until more than 300 years later, when Ricky was born, the two spies remained in Tallinn honestly, and their faces were unchanged from before.
Ranaya even became an Assassin Mentor - for more than 300 years, she pretended to be a rookie as a top Assassin, learning little by little and passing the exam, and "finally" became an Assassin who was good enough to serve as a mentor. It's just that the people of Tallinn think that she is not talented and has a position of strength, so they rarely send their own children to her.
But there is always an exception, like Ricky.
As a member of the Tallinn royal family, Ricky was born with a talent for assassins, and it is said that the midwife's physician reached out to hug him and was dodged by the newborn, an unintentional act that shocked everyone around him. The king of Tallinn even talked about it for fifteen years, until Ricky's own ears were cocooned.
"Hey good boy, you know, you surprised everyone present with a dodge!"
In order not to hear this sentence again, Ricky deliberately chose a very ordinary female teacher, Miss Lanaya, "according to the people", in order to stay away from her family and the palace.
As if it was the arrangement of fate, the gears that symbolized the future of the two fit at this moment, and they fit perfectly.
- I'm not saying that it was love at first sight, but that a quarrel broke out like an asteroid hitting the Earth, and it is worth mentioning that the replacement of either of the two parties involved will not allow the quarrel to continue.
A rebellious teenager with deviant ideas, a cold-faced agent who is a legendary assassin behind his back, both of whom feel that the other is stupid and do not want their lives to be interfered with, their meeting should be like two inert substances that will not react at all, but the reaction is violent.
As a royal Ricky, he has a bad temper, and as soon as he saw Lanaya, he pointed to her nose and said something to the effect that "Master, I'm here to find Qingxian, I hope you don't make trouble for me, you can't teach me anything with your skills, please keep your distance from me." ”
Lanaya didn't want to deal with this little brat, but she didn't expect the other party to mock her height after the call! It's probably "count you as a little man", which is full of words.
Although—I mean, though, in the eyes of the people of Tallinn, Lanaya is already very tall, but standing in a normal person's aesthetic, in the sanctuary with an average height of 1.8 meters, her height of less than 1.5 meters is half-disabled, not to mention that her partner Comrade Mercury is tall and tall, and a pair of long legs can top half of her.
So Lanaya was like a female dragon that had been touched by the scales, and she immediately became furious.
"You're a blue-skinned dwarf who's not as tall as your mother's shoulders, and you're embarrassed to say I'm short!?"
This statement also offended Ricky - while most Tallinns didn't mind this, he was different in that he had a grumpy sister who seemed to be genetically mutated and much taller than himself.
As we said earlier, Uno's father is a Chao people, and after being able to combine with the Tallinn people, he gave birth to a Uno who is 1.8 meters, and Uno's mother can imagine how tall she is. In addition, she is like an outlier from the Tallinns, with an abnormal height and abnormal skin color, which also leads to the fact that the title "Blue Skin Shorty" is often used by her to taunt her brother.
So Ricky immediately blew up, and scolded the female tutor back and forth, and in the end, he was full of swearing, and he forced Lanaya to move for a while.
Although Ricky is a genius boy, at the age of fifteen, he is less than a level 5 assassin (level 40+), which is completely inadequate in front of Lanaya. But the latter deliberately maintained the appearance of a crappy mentor (40+, so Ricky said that the other party couldn't teach him anything, which is a fact), and for a while the two were inseparable.
But Jiang is old and spicy after all, although his strength is limited, but Lanaya's combat skills and perception are there, as an assassin, these are enough, so he still coldly grasped the flaws of the other party, pressed the arrogant Ricky to the ground, and almost stepped on his back to let him sing and conquer.
How did Ricky know that the other party was letting him, and he thought that he was careless and caused by the defeat of the enemy. When he returned, he reflected on the battle, and his genius instinct and unyielding energy drove him to come back the next day.
So the two of them fought like this, and the back and forth continued for a whole year, and the Tallinn man never took advantage of his mentor, and he felt that he was a great failure, and even refused to participate in the assessment.
A year later, Ricky's family urged him to "renew" his badge level - before that, he had spent three years making the triple jump from the starter badge to the level 4 Assassin badge, which became the talk of the family, and it was clear that this time they still thought so, and the elders always liked to regard the excellence of the younger ones as the most talked about.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet. But surprisingly, he was mentally prepared and passed the level 6 assassin assessment with little effort, and even alarmed the king.
His mental preparation had nothing to do with this outcome.
Ricky, who walked out of the hall with the brand new badge, was very dazed, he looked at the amazing crowd around him, at the examiner who followed him with a not very good-looking face, and at the guards rushing by, a little uncertain.
The pressure he felt from the examiner was too small, and he looked at the other party like a child fighting, and he hadn't yet fought against a female madman who was only level 4.
But just as he rushed back to Lanaya's house, intending to tell her the good news and say, "Look, your student didn't disgrace you," he saw only a letter.
The letter reads "To Mr. Ricky" and is signed "Your Mentor: Momoya". The name was preceded by a crossed-out "Lanaya".
There are only a few farewell words written in it, and there is a sentence "You have already graduated from school, and no Tallinn is qualified to teach you", and behind it is a delicate oriental face with a somewhat familiar outline, but lines he has never seen before.
Combined with that, if he couldn't guess that Lanaya was a Templar assassin whose real name was Momoya, he would be too stupid.
