Chapter 303: The Wisdom of an Apprentice

The apprentice opened the door, and standing in the doorway was a woman he had never seen before.

The woman was visibly stunned when she saw that it was the apprentice who opened the door, and after a few seconds she realized that something was wrong, and then she spoke: "Well, I just saw that this room seems to be on fire, is it okay?"

"Ah, it's okay, I'm just...... It's just that the heat is too big when cooking porridge. ”

This was the first time an honest apprentice had lied, and his voice trembled a little, and he stared at the woman cautiously, for fear that the other party would see some clues. According to Theophalan's aesthetic, the woman at the door was a complete beauty, and in the midst of his nervousness, a blush appeared on the apprentice's face, but the blush was well concealed by his dark complexion.

"Is the prophet alright?" asked the woman, leaning her head into the door.

"Prophet...... Oh, the prophet she ......" The apprentice hesitated for a long time before he said, "The prophet she is fine, but she fell asleep first." ”

Another lie.

However, he had to lie to the woman, the prophet was so important to Theopharan that if it was known that the prophet had been killed, and that he had not learned the prophet's divination, the kingdom would have fallen into despair.

Oh no.

The Savior says that the kingdom he knows has been controlled by the bad guys, and that all the friends he knows have become puppets of the notorious Goeburn.

I don't know if it's an illusion, he felt that the woman's delicate brow seemed to be wrinkled, but when he looked closely, the other party squeezed out a smile again, and said, "Well, I'm worried about the Prophet, you know? There's a dangerous outsider in the city, he blew up the dungeon and fled, and now everyone is chasing him, and I'm afraid he's coming here, you know, the Prophet's abode is very remote...... You wouldn't have met him by chance, would you?"

"When...... Of course not! I've never seen any outsiders!"

The apprentice replied excitedly.

Lie.

The woman came to such a conclusion.

In fact, the moment the apprentice opened the door, she was really stunned, and the excessive surprise caused her not to dare to act rashly - according to the information she had, Lord Goebon had killed the Prophet before leaving, and left two top assassins here to ambush the young apprentice, so when she knocked on the door, it should have been her companion who opened the door, and this apprentice should have been a silent corpse.

Not only that, but she looked inside the doorway and didn't notice the two people in charge of getting rid of the apprentice.

The Crow Assassin was disciplined and could never afford to be negligent, but the only reason the apprentice was alive was because he had somehow subdued his companions.

These were the thoughts of the woman as soon as she opened the door, so she had to be more cautious.

It seems that the rumors are true.

A wanderer saw an apprentice and a few outsiders on the street corner, and she was a little relieved to make sure that her companion could complete the task assigned by Lord Goburn, and then something happened.

"That...... If you don't mind......"

"Actually, I don't mind. The woman interrupted the apprentice with a smile, she couldn't just be turned away, she had to find out what was going on, and then report the situation to Lord Goeben. Maybe the explosion of the dungeon wasn't accidental, or maybe the outsiders were acting together.

Seeing the apprentice's stunned expression, the woman smiled: "Actually, it is very important for me to find the prophet, I will go in and wait for her, I believe she will also be happy to see me." ”

She didn't give the apprentice a chance to refuse, and walked sideways into the porch.

The Prophet's Lodge was rudimentary, and despite its high prestige in the Kingdom, the Prophet believed that a life of poverty would allow her to see things as they were. The door was in the living room, and the apprentice was a little embarrassed in the doorway. The materials used in the ritual were all burned to the ground, and all that remained of the table was a pile of black ashes.

"Uh......" He didn't expect the other party to break in so rudely that his mind went blank and he couldn't think of any excuse to explain. Fortunately, Lin Qiu and the others moved the statue of the prophet to the bedroom, otherwise the other party would be in trouble when they saw the prophet who had become a stone sculpture.

The woman saw more details through the mess.

Although a sudden fire almost destroyed half of the living room, judging from the furnishings of the furniture, there was no sign of a fight in the living room, and not only that, in addition to the smell of burnt paste, the air was also mixed with the smell of food, indicating that someone had just eaten here.

This is never a good sign.

If there was a fierce battle in the living room, she could have accepted it, but now she found out that she was chilling. There was only one possibility—her companion was dealt with the moment she attacked.

The two Assassins who remained here were no ordinary untrained Assassins, and the ones who were able to be tested were top-notch Assassins who were well versed in the ways of the Crows.

However, it seems that after the two of them were eliminated, the apprentice's helper also left.

"So, not the soup?" she asked.

"I'm so sorry!, Lord Prophet, went out, and I'm so sorry I accidentally started a fire while fiddling with materials!" the apprentice bowed his head, his expression almost crying.

What a little thing full of lies.

If she hadn't known that the Prophet had been eliminated by Lord Goeben, she would have believed in the apprentice.

"This is also inevitable, and if you want to learn the art of divination, it will occasionally cause some accidents. The woman said understandingly, reaching for the dagger in her sleeve - at least she could finish her colleagues' unfinished business, get rid of the Prophet's apprentice, and convey the severity of the matter to Lord Goeburn.

Not just outsiders, they were faced with several outsiders who were strong enough to take out the Crow Assassin in an instant.

And the apprentice, whose mind had regained his composure a little, finally realized that something was wrong.

This beautiful big sister was also a little too lenient with him, and it was an unpardonable sin in Theopharan to burn down the Prophet's house, and from the moment she entered, it was as if she was looking for something.

"I'm going to pour you a cup of hot water......" The apprentice suddenly realized something, and he hurriedly turned and walked into the kitchen.

"Thank you. ”

The woman had no intention of staying in the living room, and followed the apprentice into the kitchen.

There was no sign of outsiders or of her companions, who, after subduing her, had coerced the two to leave, leaving the schoolboy alone.

What a cold-blooded guy.

She snorted coldly in her heart, but said, "By the way, I have one last question." ”

"What?" the apprentice slowly leaned in the direction of the storage room.

"Why...... You're not dead yet, are you?"

The two acted at about the same time.

The apprentice slammed down on the door of the storeroom, and the woman followed.

"Lord Tyr, help!"
