Chapter 5: Assassination

His face was a little solemn, and he took his cross sword and walked out.

"Who?"

A patrolling guard seemed to hear something and hurriedly asked.

"It's me. ”

Leo said coldly.

"It turned out to be Young Master Leo. ”

The guards hurriedly saluted.

"All cheer up, there may be a situation. ”

Leo said in a deep voice.

"Yes. ”

The guards said.

But some people don't think so, they have been patrolling, and there is no situation.

Leo snorted coldly, and then walked over to the source of the bloody qi.

The guards, you look at me, I look at you, and decided to follow Leo.

Following the bluestone-paved road, Leo came to the city walls.

Torches crackled and burned, and several guards leaned against the walls with their heads bowed, as if asleep.

"Bastard, when are you still daring to sleep. ”

When the squad leader of that team of soldiers saw this, he couldn't help but curse angrily.

He stepped forward and kicked one of the guards hard, but the guard fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood spurted out of his throat.

"It's ......"

Seeing this, the squad leader was dumbfounded.

"Yes...... There are assassins!"

"Be careful!

Everyone exclaimed.

Leo stepped forward to inspect the guards, and found that they were all with severed throats, neatly clean, and appeared to be veterans.

Hearing their shouts, the castle immediately became a mess, and everywhere there were panicked footsteps, alarm bells.

Leo walked over to the corpse, his nose twitching, and then walked a few steps inside the walls and castle, only to find that the Assassin's breath had disappeared from the walls again.

It didn't take long for Helena to arrive, along with Bapen and the Charles Knights.

They were all shocked to learn of what had happened, but it was a good thing that the Assassin hadn't assassinated an important person in the castle, otherwise it would have been a big problem.

"Who did that?"

Helena's face turned pale.

"It's supposed to be the one with a scarface. ”

Leo said.

Helena, Baben, and Charles all turned extremely ugly, weren't they being hunted down by the Viscount?

How did it come out here.

In case Scarface sends someone to attack the castle, what will they use to fend off Scarface.

"We must send someone to contact the Baron. ”

Bapen said.

Helena nodded heavily, "That's right, with our strength, we are not Scarface's opponent at all, and we will send someone as soon as it dawns tomorrow." ”

"Okay. ”

Leo also knew that this was the best thing to do.

The next morning, the castle immediately sent a group of guards to deliver the message.

Then the gates of the castle were closed, and no one was allowed to open the castle without the order of the baroness.

In the luxurious council room, Helena talks to Barben, Charles, and Leo about last night.

"Leo, how did you find someone sneaking in last night? ”

Helena asked curiously.

After a night of interrogation, Helena discovered that it was her own son who had been the first to discover the dead guard.

This made her wonder how her son could have such a great ability.

"I've been feeling upset lately and can't sleep. I decided to go outside and take a look, at that time it was just to scare them, who wanted to come true. ”

Leo said casually, of course, the truth could not be told under any circumstances.

"Oh, I see. ”

Helena pondered for a while, unable to see joy or sorrow.

Baben had a strange look on his face, and for some reason, he felt like Leo was trying his best to hide something.

"Maybe Young Master Leo has an extremely keen sixth sense, and many powerful knights on the battlefield will have this feeling. When they are attacked, they can even spot the enemy in advance. ”

The Charles Knight said.

He was a man of medium stature, with a hard face and knotted muscles, who appeared to be extremely strong.

Leo thought about it, it was also possible that the power of the Godhead was wonderful, and that he was always distracted, perhaps it was a warning.

"There is also a possibility that Leo's mental strength is very good. ”

Helena laughed.

Baben and Charles looked at Leo in unison.

"What's wrong with excellent mental strength?"

Leo asked curiously.

"Meaning you have the potential to become a wizard. ”

Helen looked at Leo as if she were looking at a rare treasure.

"A wizard?"

Leo looked yearning.

"Wizards are the most powerful people in the world, and they possess incredible powers. Their strength is enough to destroy a city and a country, and any official wizard is enough to destroy our country, and even the number of knights is no match for them. In the face of wizards, even a great knight can only be regarded as cannon fodder. ”

Baben said with admiration.

"But wizards are so rare that many people never meet a wizard in their lifetime. If you meet a wizard, you must ensure absolute humility, otherwise it will bring disaster to the family. ”

Helena said solemnly.

"I see, so how do you become a wizard?"

Leo's eyes twinkled, and then asked.

"As far as I know, there are only two options, either to study at a wizarding academy or to learn from a wandering wizard apprentice. But there is a premise for all this, that is, you must have the talent of a wizard, in fact, this talent is the most difficult, because the person who has the talent of a wizard is truly one in ten thousand. ”

Helena said with a sigh.

"Does the Imperial Imperial know wizards?"

Leo asked curiously.

"Of course, the reason why the empire can be stable for a long time is because there is a wizard standing behind the empire, who is said to be an elder of the royal family, and the empire cannot last long without the wizard platform. ”

Helena said.

"Mother, how do you know so much?"

"Because...... Because my mother was an apprentice wizard. ”

Helena said proudly.

Leo struggled to find the memories of his predecessor, and found that he seemed to have vaguely heard Helena mention when he was a child, and that the broken godhead seemed to have been brought from his mother's family.

"Since my mother was an apprentice wizard, when I was young, I didn't know how many noble children pursued me, including not only the son of a duke, but also a marquis, an earl, and even a prince, but I chose your father in the end. ”

Helena's eyes were a little blurry, as if she was reminiscing about that beautiful time.

Only then did Leo realize how powerful his cheap dad was, able to snatch beauty from a group of top nobles and even princes.

This kind of ability is enough to make countless single dogs in later generations look up to the mountains and admire them, and it seems that if you have the opportunity, you have to ask the cheap dad for advice.

This made him understand a little why his father's status was a little low, with such a mother here, his status couldn't be high even if he wanted to.

"Leo, do you know that you have noble wizard blood flowing through you, and you were born different. A wizard's talent is inherited by blood, and only a person who has been a wizard in his ancestors can have a wizard talent in him. ”

Helena said, "So, if I have the chance, I'll ask someone to test your wizarding talents." ”

Just saying this, Helena's face was a little gloomy, as if she had thought of something bad.

"I see. ”

Leo said, "By the way, did my grandmother study at the Wizarding Academy?"

"She rarely talks to me about wizarding, but I know he's from the Sage's Tower. ”

Helena said.

"The Sage's Tower?"

Leo made a note of the name and decided that he should definitely visit it if he had a chance.

What is it that can give birth to such a thing as a fragment of Godhead?

Late at night, Leo wore a suit of leather armor and gently wiped his crosssword.

"Actually, you don't have to worry, there are Charr knights themselves keeping vigil, even if they come, they will be discovered. ”

Bapen said as he sat down in a chair.

"I know, I just want to meet that guy for a while. ”

Leo said.

Baben shook his head: "I'm afraid this is not a good thing, whoever dares to come to our castle alone, at least he is also a knight, otherwise there will be no return, you may not be his opponent." ”

"Isn't that you?"

Leo laughed, he hadn't revealed his plans to be promoted to knight.

Bapen looked at Leo extremely speechlessly, don't you know that when you fight with the other party, you are a drag?

Once the enemy attacks Leo, he will have to save it with all his might, and he may have to be planted in it himself.

How can you be so unconscious?

But he knew that it was useless to say, because he had said this kind of thing several times, and Leo always had only one reply, that is, he believed in Baben's strength, and Baben was also extremely helpless about it.

As the night wore on, and Papen began to close his eyes and take a nap, Leo was still in good spirits, gently wiping his crosssword.

The thought of a life-and-death battle with a knight made him extremely excited.

His expression suddenly moved, and he stood up.

"What's wrong?"

Baben rubbed his eyes and said.

"Let's go out and have a look. ”

Leo took the lead and walked out, and Bapen grumbled, so he could only follow him with his two-handed sword.

The guards on patrol today were obviously much more energetic, and what had happened last night had made them feel extremely disturbed, and now it had turned into all kinds of terrible rumors, so that they did not dare to be careless, for fear that they would accidentally lose their lives.

Leo felt extremely agitated, as if a beast was watching him secretly, and even the air had a murderous atmosphere.

He went round and found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Young Master Leo, you're here too. ”

Charles said as he looked at Leo and Papen.

"Yes, some can't sleep, so come and see. ”

Leo said.

Charles's heart moved, and Leo had an accident yesterday because he felt this way.

"I see that you should go back to the Baroness, where you are needed more, and here I will be fine. ”

Charles said.

"You're right, Master Leo, let's go back. ”

Bapen said.

"You have a point. ”

Leo thought about it, it would be bad if the Assassin took the opportunity to assassinate his mother.

So he and Barben hurried towards the castle, and when they saw Leo leaving, Charles said loudly, "Everyone cheer up, beware of the enemy's sneak attack." ”

But before they could get back to the castle, they heard a commotion behind them.

Leo paused, then quickly turned and rushed, and Bapen followed without saying a word.

When they rushed up the walls, they found several people lying on the ground.

In addition to this, there were several human heads rolling on the ground.
