Chapter 8: Assassination
The red longbow in Thor's hand was made by the Hayworms when they heard that Thor had joined the archery team and visited a legendary old hunter.
Both in terms of material and feel, this bow is perfect.
Thor even secretly asked the old hunter if he could hunt with the bow.
At that time, the old hunter jokingly pointed to a deer head on the wall, and laughed: "The boy of the Hayworms family, do you see that deer, use the bow!"
At first, Thor couldn't pull the bow, and had to practice with the standard short bow in the training ground.
Later, because of the cultivation of magic power, the physique was enhanced, and it was slowly used normally.
"Bang"
McCarron dodged Thor's arrows again, and the long arrows slammed into the bluestone ground with a crisp sound.
made McCarron's face darken even more: "This bastard really dares to shoot at me!"
Thor now believed what Aaron had told him earlier, that Macallan had been born into a knightly family and had learned true combat skills.
The orderly pace in the chaos makes it easy to dodge Thor's arrows every time.
Moreover, during the running, the two-handed sword in his hand was always steady, and even if Thor provoked him with his tricks, his sword holding movement was not deformed in the slightest.
Thor was sure that the moment McCarran approached him, the sword in his hand would fall on him.
Even an unedged sword will break a few bones.
Thirty meters away, it was gone in less than a minute on weekdays, and Thor did everything he could to hinder McCarron.
However, his archery skills are still relatively rigid after all, he can't move the arrow, and in order to maintain his posture, he retreats very slowly.
As a result, the distance between the two quickly disappeared, and soon five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters......
Suddenly, Thor's heel touched the steps, and his backward movements suddenly stopped.
McCarron laughed arrogantly, jumped to his feet, and danced a large arc with his two-handed sword, slashing at Thor from top to bottom, the movement was fierce and shocking.
In order to teach Thor a lesson and vent his resentment, Macallan uses his family's sword technique - Jump Slash!
"Bastard, die!"
The Macallan seemed to imagine Thor falling to the ground in embarrassment, howling and weeping bitterly, with a cruel smile on his face.
"Hmm, why is this bastard so calm?"
McCarron was suddenly shocked to find that Thor's demeanor had not changed, no, the corners of Thor's mouth suddenly squirmed.
Without waiting to think about what Saul had said, Macallan's eyes went dark.
In a trance, there was a scene in front of him when he was a child, his father took him to hunt, and the object of their hunt was a group of natives, living people!
The fear of flesh and blood flying and stumps everywhere hit my heart again.
Distracted, McCarron's sword moves could no longer be sustained, and he fell from the air in embarrassment, falling heavily to the ground.
The fear disappeared in a flash, and when I came back to my senses, there was a cold arrow in front of my forehead!
"You've lost!" Thor said coldly.
"Smack"
As soon as McCarron's hand loosened, his two-handed sword fell to the ground, his face was ashen, his chest rose and fell violently, and his nails were sunk deep in the flesh, oozing blood.
Soon, the Saint Gem High School began to circulate the battle, and McAllan, the undefeated sword champion, lost to a little man he had never heard of.
However, the protagonist Saul, along with Mark and Aaron, has left school and headed for the Hayworms Theatre.
In order to promote the new play, and more importantly, the theater, the Hayworms launched a social circle and invited many celebrities to come to see it.
When the three arrived at the theater, the Hayworms could only take the time to say hello to Saul and keep receiving guests at the door.
There are regular theater customers who come to cheer, business collaborators, and other small nobles who are familiar with each other.
The three of Thor watched from a corner, most notably an actress who walked out of the Haywarms Theatre.
It was a graceful and beautiful woman, holding a fan, covering her mouth and snickering from time to time, seduce the hearts of the men around her with a smile.
Then there is a pair of theater connoisseurs, it is a couple, both young and their hair has gone gray.
But the man was dressed in a straight tuxedo with a gold cane, and the woman was dressed in a gorgeous fishtail dress, and the couple was even more beautiful than the young people.
Saul watched for a while, and wanted to enter the theater first, but Mark and Aaron, two teenagers, were fascinated by the flowers and branches of the flowers, and the ladies of all kinds of styles, and they couldn't move their feet at all.
At this moment, the two of them can't wait to have a few more pairs of eyes, looking at the heavy breathing and flushed faces.
However, the two finally stopped chasing Sol to ask for the details of defeating The Macallan, and Sol was relieved to let the two of them see enough.
At this time, a few cars gradually drove in the distance, and Aaron saw it, but his face changed, and he was about to pull Sol and the two to run to the theater.
Mark broke free dissatisfied, and said in a low voice: "Aaron, what are you in a hurry, wait a while." ”
"No, let's go, my dad is here!" Aaron explained hurriedly.
"Your father?" Mark asked, surprised, as he craned his neck to look out, "Where, I'll see if it's as powerful as you say." ”
"Wow, it's a big show!"
Three cars in front and behind, one in front of the other, parked in front of the theater.
A man in a military uniform, a trench coat over it, and a mustache that looked somewhat serious, under the guidance of his escort, stepped out of the middle car.
It was only when the Hayworms stepped forward respectfully that they ascended the steps of the theater in a reserved manner.
The man in military uniform should be Aaron's father, the viscount of the Austro-British Emperor, a retired navy, and a current naval instructor in the Duchy of Xinlan.
At the same time, Thor recognized the identity of the accompanying person next to Viscount Cap, who turned out to be his mother's older brother, that is, his uncle.
Depending on the situation, Viscount Cap should have been invited by Saul's uncle, how did the uncle, a businessman, hook up with a naval instructor?
Thinking of his uncle's estate, Thor had a rough guess.
Saul's uncle runs an inn called the White Dove, which used to be a port and does very good business.
However, it was later requisitioned by the Principality of Xinlan, and the port became a training base for the navy.
The hotel's business plummeted, and it was barely able to make ends meet by providing some services to cadets at the naval training base.
But now that he has caught up with Viscount Cap, he can still invite him to the Hayworms Theater, and it may be time to come to his uncle.
Looking at my uncle's respectful face, he should also be trying to maintain this relationship.
The Hayworms Theatre is just a small theatre, and a character like Viscount Cap is the biggest guest tonight.
After Saul's parents and uncle ushered Viscount Cap into the VIP room, they hurried backstage to arrange the opening of the play.
In order to avoid Viscount Cap, Aaron pulled Thor and the two hid in a remote corner.
The lights dimmed, the curtain opened, and the drama began.
Although the angle is not very good, Mark and Aaron are very fascinated by it, especially when the beautiful princess comes out, and it is even more drooling to watch.
Although he knew that this was a play that his parents had worked so hard to rehearse, Saul still yawned at it.
No way, Saul really can't appreciate the performance on stage, it's a bit like a Western drama in his previous life, painting heavy makeup, wearing cumbersome costumes, and doing exaggerated movements.
But the performance is even more boring, the lines are dry and emotionless, the stage effect is simple, the old-fashioned storyline, there is no novelty, no twists and turns, and you know the end after watching the beginning.
"If I took Shakespeare's plays, would I shock the world and become a great artist?"
"If I didn't know the existence of magic powers, maybe I could become a copyist"
"If you bring the food from your previous life and open a chain restaurant, you may be able to become a rich man!"
"But since there is extraordinary power, even if you become the richest man in the world, in the face of that kind of power that exceeds the rules, I am afraid that you will still be like an ant!"
Time passed in Saul's thoughts, and finally, applause rang out, the show was over, and it seemed like a good response.
The two people next to him almost slapped their palms to pieces, but Saul felt that the applause of these two people was definitely given to the heroine, just look at the expressions of these two people.
Thor also clapped vigorously, applauding to thank his parents for their hard work.
The Hayworms led the actors and bowed excitedly on the stage, and when his mother's eyes fell on the stage, Thor immediately held his hands high and jumped.
Sure enough, Thor saw his mother smile softly.
"It's so beautiful, I didn't know the drama was so good, I'll come back next time. ”
As he left the theater, Mark first gave a thumbs up, then pretended to be casual and asked, "By the way, the heroine is really good, Thor, do you know her name? Well, is there a portrait of her?"
Thor glanced at the fat face and said speechlessly, "I haven't met her before, so I'm not familiar with her." ”
Aaron, who has always been talkative, although he was also excited, in order not to attract attention, especially his father's attention, deliberately suppressed his mood, and kept secretly observing the surroundings.
"Oh no, my dad is out. Aaron exclaimed suddenly, and sprang out like a frightened rabbit.
Thor sighed, looked back at Viscount Cap casually, and complained to himself: That's your dad, it's not a strange thing, as for it.
"Huh?"
It was a casual glance, but Thor noticed that something was wrong.
The theater was not large, and it was less than two hundred people full, and it had been over for a while, and when Saul's parents and uncle came out with Viscount Cap, there was basically no one in front of the door.
So, Saul noticed a strange person.
The man wore a hat with a low brim that covered most of his face, and stood in the shadow in front of the door of the theater, one hand strangely in his bosom.
At this time, Thor's parents were sending Viscount Cap down the stairs to the car on the side of the road, and the Viscount's squire had already opened the door.
The location of the strange man happened to be between the steps and the car on the side of the road.
Saul had seen countless war action movies and TV series in his previous life, and among them, there seemed to be similar scenes.
"Assassination"!
