Chapter 32: The Name of the Lonely Ghost
"Your companions have already set off. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In the manor, the old man said to the young man. The targets targeted by the hounds were invariably devoured by the vicious dogs, and now Kante Rajer is the best delicacy in their eyes. But for hounds, Kanter's head is by no means easy to digest.
Therefore, to ensure success, he also hid a trump card.
"Haven't you been waiting for this day all along?"
Faced with an indifferent teenager, he urges, and when he stumbles upon the imp adopted from the side of the road turns out to be Kanter's half-brother, he puts his assassination plan on the agenda. For the nobles of the imperial capital, the emerging Rajer family has always been a thorn in their side.
Abandoning part of the interests of the nobility and co-opting the commoners in favor of the commoners is something that all the nobles cannot tolerate. What's more, for the fresh blood of the imperial capital, the Rajer family controls half of the country. Of course, even if he hadn't been caught up in the whirlpool of etiquette, he wouldn't have let go of such a family farce.
He firmly believed that the scale of victory would eventually tilt in his favor - even a momentary hesitation could be won by this seemingly harmless teenager. From the day he learned swordsmanship, all they taught him was genuine killing techniques.
"Until then, I have something I want to ask you......"
As soon as the words fell, the old man's face changed, and in the face of the whistling wind, he instinctively stepped back and dodged a sword that stabbed him in the heart.
The figure that appeared out of thin air stood between him and the young man, and the ensuing long sword pierced the young man's left hand, but the latter stepped forward as if he didn't feel pain, and the long sword in his hand jumped over the figure in front of him, and forced the old man again.
"What are we in your eyes?"
The old man frowned, and at the signal of his gaze, the figure whistled, and in an instant several people dressed like him descended into the manor. When the young man was surrounded in it, the old man spoke: "What a terrible dog...... However, there are too many dogs, and it is inevitable that such things will occur. ”
The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were all huddled together: "Of course you and them are different. Their future is the most loyal knight of the family. And you, a lonely ghost who can be filled at any time - in the imperial capital, a little ghost without noble blood also wants to become a knight? Don't make me laugh...... It's a pity that I can't use you against your brother, but it won't be easy to get rid of this group of vicious dogs. ”
"That's right......"
The boy let the sword slash at him.
Come to think of it, what has he learned so far?
The men told him that as long as his fingers could move and his heart beat for a second, he would tear off a piece of meat from his prey—that was the whole and only purpose of the hound. Every figure has a speed that is not inferior to him.
And these people are the apprentices of the speed sword sword technique in the true sense, and they are also the cornerstone of the future of the Kash family.
Even if he were to fall here now, I am afraid that no one would know his name - just like the current imperial capital, and no one would remember his mother's name. He had been lurking in the Rajer family manor for many days, and the letter sent to Lin Qiu was also stolen at that time.
However, for the first time, his sword faltered as he saw the thugs of the Rajer family leave, and Kanter sat alone on the stone steps and read several other letters again and again.
He knew that Kante was not unaware of him, but pretended not to be aware of him.
For him, it made no difference whether he died at the hands of the chief or at the hands of the old man, and his fate was predestined from the day he was taken in by the hounds.
"It's over. ”
The old man said calmly. The boy was still a few steps away from him, his apprentices had sealed off all his paths, and as a master of swordsmanship, he could foresee that one of the four different directions would stab the boy into the vital point. His heart was neither sad nor happy.
As he said, the emperor will not change in any way because of the death of a wild ghost who does not even have a name. No one will even notice his death at all.
He turned around boredly, as if he was destined not to appreciate the family farce he had been waiting for for so long.
As the old man took the first step forward, a flash of purple flame crossed his body, piercing the eaves not far away, and the latter let out a mournful roar and fell diagonally towards the ground, purple flames dancing at the edge of the neat incision.
"Dead old man, do you look down on country boys?"
The moment he turned around, the purple flames had taken over all his sight—the figure that had stayed outside the door had appeared in front of him at this moment, and when the four eyes met, and when the blades collided, his body couldn't help but fly upside down towards the collapsed eaves.
"I heard that the swordsmanship here is very famous, and I, a boy from the countryside, have come from thousands of miles to learn from you. ”
Under the manipulation of the engraving, the pile of rubble continued to bombard in the direction of the old man.
Lin Qiu manipulated the engraving to force back the old man who was trying to counterattack, and said, "When I first went to challenge Boss Kanter, he asked me to transfer this to you. ”
The envelope floated towards the boy, and purple flames erupted out of thin air separating the boy from the apprentices who were waiting for the opportunity. And Lin Qiu also turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the angry old man: "Hey, dead old man, let's have an exciting exchange of sword skills!"
......
Kanter sat on the steps of the manor, his body covered in blood, and he didn't bother to care whether it came from the hounds or himself. The courtyard was littered with corpses, and his body was covered with the wounds left by the desperate death of these knights with silver emblems.
When the sun rises, his younger brothers will dispose of the corpses, and no one in the great imperial capital will care who the corpses are that have sunk to the bottom of the water - no one will remember their names, and no one will grieve for them.
From the moment they join the hounds, they give up everything they have.
Later, the last footsteps came from outside the door, and he knew that the person who came should be the last assassin of the hound.
The black iron heavy sword stood in front of him, but Kanter didn't make the slightest movement to get up, allowing the boy to stagger in front of him. The young man held the blood-stained sword in his right hand, smiling harmlessly as always.
"Weongne, this is your mother's name. In the letter, she told me that she had a son named Zack and wanted me to take him in, but I couldn't help her fulfill her wish - the underworld people are guilty of not believing their words, this is one of the crimes, the underworld people, abandoning their wives, the father's responsibility, the children should bear the responsibility, this is the second crime, and the underworld people, unable to take care of their families, this is the third crime. ”
"So...... Don't be confused, Zach Rajer. ”
Kante slowly closed his eyes, this was a trial he had been waiting for for a long time.
As the minutes ticked by, the young man he called Zach stared at the unsuspecting Kanter, knowing that with a single swing of his sword, he could easily take off the head of the Rajer family.
Before opening the first envelope, he stubbornly believed that the letters his mother had left for him were meant for him to take revenge on the man who had abandoned them.
The sound of the sword falling to the ground sounded, and when Kanter opened his eyes again, Zack's figure was gone. Beside the sword fell four empty envelopes.
......
"Tyr, are you causing trouble again?"
When Lin Qiu sneaked into the house for the first time, he was stopped by Alyssa.
The sky was already white, Lin Qiuyi's body was covered with sword wounds, and his clothes had become tattered. On the deep sea, there are also blood stains that I don't know who it is.
It took him a lot of effort to beat the stubborn old man to his stomach.
"Really, I went to cause trouble again on the first day of my injury...... Is it Nightshade or Spades?"
The imperial capital is full of Albert's eyeline, and it is reasonable to attack Lin Qiu.
"Neither. ”
Lin Qiu shook his head.
"It's a dead old man who likes to have dogs and looks down on the countrymen. ”
