Walking in the dark night, the steps are like ghosts.

Before the two people on patrol could react, their throats were hot, something hot gushed out, and their lives passed quickly.

Expertly throwing the bodies of the two into the void, John continued on his way.

In front of him was a ruined castle, the lights were on, and the voices of many people were coming from afar, and John's indifferent face did not change at all.

Tonight is destined to be a bloody storm.

………

"Is it gone again?"

The headquarters of the Knights in the jurisdiction, the exclusive room for the head of the regiment, the head of Assas, this middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sighed helplessly and put down the documents in his hand.

Standing in front of the desk, Oak, who was serving as a secretary, looked down at the document in his hand and said, "Yes, this is the fifth group of thieves to disappear in the past week. ”

Oak proposed, "How about we send someone to investigate?" ”

"Investigate the fart! It's a waste of time, and it didn't provoke us anyway, and that's a good thing, isn't it? We took a big risk to encircle and suppress them. ”

Captain Assas looked at the scenery outside the window: "More things are better than less things, I always feel that if I go to investigate, something may happen." ”

His gaze suddenly sharpened, and Captain Assas's eyes were fixed on Oak: "Remember you, don't go behind my back to investigate, you know?" ”

Oak shrugged helplessly: "Alas, I see. ”

"If it's okay, you can go out, I still have a bunch of things to take care of."

As soon as he urged Oak, another man in armor and a shocked face broke into the door.

"Regiment, regimental commander! Something is wrong!! ”

"What's the matter?" Captain Assas frowned.

"That, that, Earl Stewart's daughter is said to have been taken in as an apprentice by a great sage!"

Earl Stewart was the elder brother of the head of Assas, and later Stuart inherited the family business and became an earl, and he was the youngest son, and he was mixed into the position of head of the knights of a jurisdiction, and for so many years, his brother's whereabouts were unknown, his life and death were unknown, and the empty earl title was not inherited.

No way, both of his brother's children are female, and the other is also female.

Until now, Assas is waiting for his brother's return to take care of everything in the family for him, but unfortunately more than ten years have passed, and the original children have grown up, but they have never seen the shadow of his brother, which has always been Assas's heart knot.

As soon as he heard the title of the Great Sage, Assas couldn't calm down, and he asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I said that your brother's daughter was accepted as an apprentice by the Great Sage, and your woman told me herself!"

"Our family finally has a chance! Mary, this little girl did a good job! ”

Heartily, Assas looked happy.

The Great Sage is no stranger to everyone here, the end of the mage, can be on an equal footing with the monarch, one person can block thousands of countless legends, can recognize the Great Sage as a teacher, that is to say, their family will have a huge backer in the future, isn't it worth being happy?

I've been worrying about the Phillips family lately, and it seems that it's unnecessary to worry.

"I won't tell you more, I'll go back and take a look first, Oak, I'll leave these documents to you first."

After Assas gave an order, he hurriedly left the room with a happy look, and the two people who stayed in the room looked at each other and smiled, it was the first time they had seen such a happy leader.

Instead of going back to his house first, he rushed to his brother's house, and as soon as Assas saw his sister-in-law, he asked, "Is this true, sister-in-law?" ”

"Of course it's true! I'm going to have a celebration tonight, and I was going to inform you, but it doesn't seem necessary, so remember to bring my siblings and children over in the evening. ”

The woman said with a smile on her face.

It seems that this is true, Assas knows what her sister-in-law's personality is, although people are very mean and stingy, but she disdains to say big things.

"By the way, sister-in-law, where is the great sage you mentioned?"

Assas didn't mean anything else, a great sage could appear in such a small place, but they were honored to just want to meet to express his gratitude.

The woman was in trouble, and she didn't know where John lived, and she left yesterday without asking, but since he said he wanted to take Tiffany as an apprentice, he would definitely come.

"Excuse me, woman, good afternoon."

John appeared out of nowhere, standing at the door, saluting the woman.

Dressed in a mysterious black robe, a handsome young man with curly hair with a gentle face stood in the doorway, and Assas reacted so well that he knew at once who John was.

I once thought that the great sage was a wise old man, but when I actually met, it was far from what I imagined, well, maybe it was a spell that could turn back into a young man, Assas thought to himself, and at the same time thought to John's sincere greeting: "It is my honor to meet you in this small place, Lord Sage." ”

"Ah, who are you?"

Assas hurriedly explained: "I am Mary's uncle, and now I am the head of the Knights of the Jurisdiction, please don't care. ”

"I see, you don't have to be too restrictive to me, just like normal, I personally don't like others to be restrained." John said with a smile.

"Since you've said so, I can only be a little rude."

A very gentle man, Assas thought to himself.

Sitting in the drawing-room, instructing the servants to pour tea and water, Assas and John had a small talk, and the two talked happily as if they had met a confidant.

Mary and Stella were also attracted by Assas's voice, and the two sisters went downstairs together, and when they saw John, they saluted him and took their seats with permission.

The more laughter and laughter there were, the more he talked, the more Assas understood John's personality as a person, and he was a very humorous man.

The topic unconsciously progressed to personal issues.

"I don't know how old you are, Lord John?"

John smiled mysteriously, "Guess." ”

How could Assas have guessed, he surrendered directly, "No, no, no, how can you see your appearance, Lord John, although I can't guess it, but it's definitely not so young." ”

John complimented: "Indeed, Captain Assas guessed a little correctly, I am not only sixteen or seventeen years old, but this number. ”

He spread five fingers.

"Five hundred years old?"

John nodded, put away his palm, and said with a smile: "Well, I have lived for more than five hundred years, and I am still a little worse than the lich, after all, I am still a human being, and I will die after all." ”

Assas didn't know how to be a great sage, he had lived for more than 500 years, and this generation was enough to be his grandfather's grandfather.
