Chapter 148: The Key to Memories (Part I)
"You just hide here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Corria pushed open the basement door and let the students hide. She didn't expect that the Assassins' Guild's former hideout would suddenly work again. She pulled the poisoned dagger out of the drawer, lifted her skirt as if no one else was around, and tied it to her inner thighs, the Tower Academy students covering their eyes with red faces.
"Don't worry, they won't be here. ”
Skillfully tying up the dagger, she walked over to Reddis, "So, let's go." ”
Redice nodded, silently following the other out of the cellar.
The hidden hideout, the poisoned dagger, and the incomparably skilled assassination skills, he had a vague guess in his mind about the identity of this woman.
A remnant of the Assassins' Guild.
"Is that uncle from before your companion?" he asked, knocking on the side.
At this moment, he hoped that the woman who saved them was the cannibal warrior that the middle-aged man said, and only in this way could he suppress the uneasiness in his heart. But reason prevented him from facing his inner hesitation - if the Assassin Guild intended to resurrect the treasures of the Cana family, wouldn't he be a sinner in the imperial capital?
"Companion?"
Coria chuckled, "How could I have a companion like that...... That's just a knight I commissioned. ”
Tyr-Cyleus, the hero who saved the kingdom from the Assassins' guild, and she was a sinner who tried to overthrow it, how could someone like her deserve to be a hero's companion? As long as she is a normal person, she will not provoke the Mafuya family for her remnant.
"He probably won't be with him. ”
After all, in a sense, the other party has already helped her find clues, and she can be regarded as keeping her promise. She saw the concern in Reddis's eyes, and said, "What I said just now is true, the dagger is a relic left by my mother, and after I get it, I will leave the imperial capital." ”
Reddish stared at him for a moment, as if he had made up his mind: "Dagger, I asked a junior to hide in the treasure house of the Kanna family, come with me." ”
......
Meanwhile.
"Tsk...... Is this a treasure trove?"
A group of knights lined up on either side of the stone path, and Orton Mafoya, led by a student, came to the door of the treasure house. The stone door has a groove on which delicate frescoes are carved. This mural records the family history of the rise of the Cana family to the present, but these histories are not worth mentioning in Orton's eyes, and only the things in the treasury are what he yearns for.
- King-level Demon Core.
It's a terrible thing!
Gal-Khanna did not let his two daughters inherit the royal core in the treasury, and took the secret to the grave - "What a pathetic man, you must not be naïve to think that one day someone will suddenly come back to you with a dagger?"
He raised his voice and mocked at the treasury.
The treasure house, in the eyes of the Kanna family, is the habitat of the souls of the heads of the family for generations. If there was such a thing, Gal Khanna would have heard his taunts. After more than ten years of forbearance, as the new successor of Mafuya, he was finally able to appear here as a victor.
"Where's the dagger?"
His gaze shifted to the cowering student.
This student was the one who asked Lin Qiu for help.
Orton couldn't help but sneer—what could escape his eyes in his academy?
"So...... My family?"
"Well, they're okay anymore. Orton said casually.
The boy finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he walked to the brazier by the stone door, bent down, and took a dagger out of the groove.
"Good. ”
Orton took the dagger with satisfaction, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he took the dagger and wiped it down the young man's throat. The young man was startled, and subconsciously blocked it with his hand, and the cut skin suddenly turned black and purple, his eyes widened, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
"What an amazing poison...... Don't look at me like that, you should thank me, and since you want to see your family so much, I'll be kind enough to send you to them—don't you think that those who resist me will have a way to live?"
With that, he no longer glanced at the students on the ground, but at the dagger carved with delicate patterns in his hand.
He was in no hurry to open the treasury, for as far as he knew, in order to open this stone door, he needed something other than a dagger.
The blood of the Kana people.
There was a rush of footsteps from above, and he handed a color to the guards, who knowingly hid themselves in the fork in the road.
"Orton, what exactly does the letter mean?"
Before the figure arrived, Erin Cana's voice was the first to arrive.
In this way, the materials to open the treasure house are ready. After learning the news, he rejected the family's S-class inscription, and waited for the day when he became a royal knight with the power of the king-level magic core and entered the Templars, so that the Mafoa family could truly replace the former Franz and become the largest nobles in the imperial capital.
Erin, who walked down the stone steps, immediately saw the lifeless tower students behind Orton, and immediately stopped: "You'd better explain clearly." ”
Asking her to meet here alone in the middle of the night, especially when her father was mourning, this matter is very suspicious. But the contents of the letter forced her to put herself at risk - the truth about the assassination of Gar Kharna. Since all the people who went to the inner sanctuary were killed in battle, even the royal family could not find out what happened.
"I'm a man who keeps my promises. ”
Orton threw the dagger in his hand in front of Erin and spread his hands out, "But I paid a great price to hear this news...... You know, I don't make a loss-making deal. ”
"Make an offer. ”
"You're misunderstanding me, it's not about the gold at all...... In the treasury of the Kanna family, there is something that originally belonged to the Mafuya family. ”
"No way, only the head of the Kanna family can enter the treasury. Erin refused his request without hesitation, and at the same time put away the dagger: "The Kanna family will remember the matter of retrieving the family token." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to reject me...... What if I could tell you about that maid?"
Erin's steps suddenly stopped, and she looked at the other in disbelief. The reason for the loss of the family token, my father never mentioned it to anyone - not even my grandfather. They only know that the person who took the token was a maid who had an affair with her father, and after learning the news that the maid was pregnant, in order to ensure the prestige of the Kanna family, the grandfather forced his father to expel her from the house.
She could only deduce that the resentful maid stole the dagger while her father was not looking.
That incident was a rare stain on the Kanna family.
Seeing Erin stop, Orton smirked, and his strategizing expression was particularly dazzling in Erin's eyes: "This dagger and a little blood of yours can be exchanged for the truth of the matter, this is a win-win deal." (To be continued.) )
