Chapter 9: Thorns

"Damn, this damn weather, the cold winter has passed, why is it still so cold" No. A rubbed his hands, slightly sleepy.

"Bear with me, it's not been too peaceful lately, put your eyes on the bright spots, don't accidentally go wrong. The older B said to the grumbling A.

"Hey, B, I've heard that Lord Geer was attacked and killed by an unknown force outside the city a few days ago. You say, isn't it that the two families in the castle can't wait, in case of a real war, what can we do with small fish and shrimp?"

"Silence, these things are not related to us little people, since we are members of the Soth family, we will obey the orders of Lord Earl, don't think about those who have or don't, keep your night watch!"

No. B's rebuke was just exchanged for No. A's sentence of "old stubbornness". He sighed helplessly, no longer looking at the listless A.

He didn't know about those things, but as a member of the Soth family, to retreat was to betray, and he had no other choice.

The night wind is blowing, and No. B can't help but shiver, they are just the outer guard posts, not as good as the internal secret whistles, that is the elite of the family, the lowest are all yellow rank intermediate knights, and legend has it that there is a Xuan rank senior knight in the family.

A shadow shrouded in darkness, passing through the two of them, continuing to wander through the night, it did not alarm the elite dark whistle in the mouth of B, and went straight to the outside of Terre-Soth's room, the dark shadow dispersed, and a thin young man, the young assassin who had given Knight Gehr a fatal blow, appeared.

He quietly entered the room, came to the side of Tyre's bed, looked at the little Tyre sleeping peacefully on the bed, the eyes of the thin young man exuded a cold murderous intent, and before the blade in his hand could be pierced, he instantly jumped up and dodged the stabbing flame spear.

"Who are you" Aya walked out of the cracked wall, surrounded by flames, and she was already awakened by the first appearance of the emaciated youth's murderous attempt. Fortunately, after the last attack, he was arranged to live next door to Taylor's room.

Tyre on the bed had also woken up, watching the confrontation between Aya and the thin young man, but he was not as flustered as Aya imagined, and it was not the first time he had encountered this kind of thing.

The thin young man ignored Aya's inquiry, listening to the commotion in the distance, his gaze was locked on Tyre again, he moved, and the dagger with a cold cold light flew towards Tyre, and at the same time, he himself turned into a black shadow, quickly fleeing away. Several fireballs rose from Aya, one hit the dagger that flew towards Tyre, causing it to change its trajectory and stab at the wall behind Tyre, while the rest of the fireballs hit the distant shadow, but to no avail.

Aya, who frowned, didn't catch up, she didn't expect the guards to come from outside the house, and she could let the assassin sneak in. She decided that she would stay firmly by Tyre's side.

"The subordinates are late, so that the young master is frightened, please punish the young master" A tall knight who came in knelt on one knee, lowered his head, his forehead was covered with cold sweat born of fear, and he was not effective in protecting his master, and he would be relieved of his knighthood and severely punished in any family.

"You... ”

"Forget it, it's enough to have a teacher here, you stand down and keep on guard!" Tyre interrupted Aya. The knight, who knelt on one knee, thanked Tyre with a happy face and exited the room.

Aya looked at Tyre, who was still thinking about something, and didn't say anything more.

"Young master, are you okay, those damn rice buckets should be punished with heavy punishment, let them have a long memory" A rush of footsteps came, Aya turned around and saw a middle-aged man with dark skin and a beard, he stepped forward with an arrow, and as he spoke, he picked up Tai Lei and looked left and right. Aya had seen him by Gaia's side, so he didn't stop him, and besides, with himself by his side, if he dared to attack, there was only one way out.

"Uncle York, I'm fine, I'm really fine" Tyre was at the mercy of Uncle York, and he helplessly cast a look of help at Aya.

"Ahem," Aya deliberately accentuated her voice.

"It turns out that the magician is also here, fortunately the young master is fine, otherwise I would have to break the legs of those rice buckets one by one. By the way, I almost forgot about business, young master, my lord asked me to bring you over" Uncle York's voice was always so loud.

Feelings I am a background board, Aya rolled her eyes.

Tyre, who was dressed, lay on Uncle York's back, he didn't want to do this, but Uncle York's words made him have to do it. "Let me carry you again, wait a while, maybe I won't be able to carry you again, you have to stay by the master's side, you know?"

Tyre knew that Uncle York was one of those who would be sacrificed in this war.

The atmosphere became heavy again, and Aya couldn't help but feel sad when she looked at the big and small figures.

"Young Master, do you remember Cortana?" York's voice was deep.

"Remember" Tyre already had a bad premonition.

"I can dream of Cortana every night, she always keeps saying to me, 'Daddy, I'm so cold, I'm so cold here, I want to go home', my heart is dripping blood, I won't let that beast go, even if he is high, I'm going to drag him down, a thousand cuts, to pay tribute to Cortana" Uncle York's voice turned from low to hoarse, and a suppressed anger rose from him.

Tyre knew Cortana, the only daughter of Uncle York's family, and that Cortana had been his everything since Uncle York's wife died.

Unfortunately, she was favored by a child of one of the five castles that passed by, and after the adultery, Cortana was thrown to death in the cold night. At that time, Uncle York was on the same mission as Gehr, and it was his father who suppressed the matter. At that time, the Soth family was in danger, and they were no longer qualified to negotiate terms with the families in the five major castles.

After returning, Uncle York made a big fuss, and he even secretly prepared to avenge Cortana alone, but was stopped by his father. Since then, Uncle York has never seen a smile on his face again.

"Young Master, will you forgive me?" Uncle York's footsteps stopped.

Realizing that it was not good, Aya rushed over quickly, and after a strong wave of magic, Aya and the three disappeared into the night.

"In Lower Roque, he is a wandering poet, who has just come to your place, and he must be an extraordinary person to see this young man's fresh clothes and angry horses, and his figure is magnificent, and he must be an extraordinary person, I wonder if I can introduce a hotel with a good price in Xia, and I am grateful for it" Shameless Rob said this, and deliberately stroked his forehead and long hair.

"It's good to say, Brother Roque don't worry, this matter is on me, just follow me" The fat man looked at Rob, who suddenly appeared in plain clothes, with a look of disgust, and wanted to kick things away, but looking at the pendant on Rob's wrist, he knew that good luck had come. The fat man winked at the two henchmen behind him, and led Rob to a remote alley.

"Big brother, we can't get through," Cole said hesitantly as he looked at Scarface.

"Grass, support the bold, starve the cowardly, it's a big deal to finish this ticket, let's change places, go, go over and take a look. Scarface got up and followed Rob.

Rob looked back at the two of Scarface, and thought to himself, the courage is there, and the ability is still poor, but with his own presence, he can create two masters in minutes.
