Chapter 68: Assassination
For me, my father died long ago along with my mother.
Al's words echoed in John's ears, making John's expressionless face even harder.
At this time, Xiulan hurriedly took two steps forward, pulled Elle, and whispered: "Al, what do you say, Old John, he went to join the army and died for the sake of this family?"
Listening to Xiulan's words, Al smiled disdainfully and said, "For this family, the home of the murderer who killed Grandpa Bird and Grandma Melissa, the home of the person who has harmed me many times and is afraid that I will not die?"
I'm sorry, but for me, your so-called home is not my home, my home is in the hunter's hut at the foot of the snake's back mountain, and that's my home, and as for the so-called Grant Manor, kill the vicious wife left to him. ”
Pursing his lips, John jumped off his horse, walked up to Al, and whispered, "Al, come home with me, and everything else can be said later." ”
As he spoke, John reached out and tried to grab Al's wrist and carry him to the horse.
However, just as John's palm was about to touch Al's wrist, Al shook his hand violently and threw John's palm to the side.
Al's subconscious action directly made the already solemn atmosphere even heavier.
John, who was already clumsy in words, after seeing Al's action, his heart could be described as mixed, with anger, sadness, and remorse.
But there was no expression on John's face, he just stiffened his face and reached out again, grabbing Al's wrist, this time John's hand added three points, and the speed increased.
Seeing John's palm grabbing it, Al immediately responded, turning into a palm knife with one hand, and slashing directly at John's wrist.
It's just that John is a battle-hardened man, and he is a real bloodline knight.
As soon as Al's hand knife touched John's wrist, John changed the direction of his force, grabbed Al's wrist with his backhand, and the other hand directly stretched out his claw and grabbed Al's throat.
However, as soon as this claw was clawed, John secretly said no.
John, who had just retired from the battlefield not long ago, had not yet adjusted his mentality, and was so excited by Al's actions just now that the whole person actually showed his state on the battlefield again.
This claw John used seven points of force, but it was really able to kill people to death.
Looking at the strength of John's claw, a faint look of surprise flashed on Al's face, he didn't expect that his cheap father would really deal with him!
The muscles on his body instantly tensed, and Al turned into a fist with his left hand, and punched John's claw.
A claw and a fist intersected, and immediately burst into a muffled sound, and the force of the shock caused John's palm to loosen John's grip on Al's wrist, and then Al took three steps backwards, and John took a step backwards.
Although it seems to be a draw, just looking at the steps of Al and John, you know that John is superior.
Looking at John with a stunned expression, Al sighed and turned to pick up Bird and Melissa's bodies.
In fact, Al knows very well that John is not what he says, in fact, John's heart is very good to him, but Al just can't help but want to stimulate this strange and familiar man.
Al hugged the bodies of the Byrds, ignoring the gaze of the townspeople, and walked straight towards his hunter's hut.
And after Al left, John looked at his right hand that had made a move with Al, and the corners of his mouth actually grinned for the first time in a long time, and Xiulan, who was very familiar with John, knew immediately when he saw this smile, John's heart was full of excitement.
This made Xiu Lan very puzzled, so he asked directly: "Old John, what are you laughing at, are you still happy that you have a conflict with Al?"
He shook his head slowly, nodded again, and then John spoke: "Xiulan, you should have seen it when Al and I were right just now, right?"
If El didn't have the strength of a high-level knight just now, it would be impossible for me to take a step back, that is to say, this eldest son of mine has become a high-level knight in just a few years.
Although I don't know where El got the meditation method, but at Al's age, it is not difficult to become a bloodline knight, and it is even possible to go further, you say, should I be happy?"
Hearing John's words, Xiulan's eyes widened, and then she said in disbelief: "You mean...... Al is only sixteen years old, and he has already become a high knight? a high knight like me?"
Nodding, John turned around and rode back in the direction of Grant Manor on his horse.
As for Xiulan, he followed John closely and rode his horse towards Grant Manor.
......
Sitting in front of a grave at the back of the hunter's hut, El looked calm in the setting sun.
All afternoon, Al was running around to bury the Byrds, and finally when the sun set, Al buried the Byrds simply.
As the sun set over the horizon, Al slammed to his feet.
I saw that he took out the metal bow and quiver from the space bag on his waist and carried it on his back, and then took out the burning sword and inserted it into his waist, and the whole person was fully prepared.
Tonight, Al is going to hunt down Linda and Hubo, who are not equal, and he doesn't want Linda and Hubo to see the sun rising tomorrow.
It's not just for Al himself, but for the dead Byrds!
Dressed in a hunter's cloak, El shuttles through the forest on the edge of Snakeback Mountain, silently like a cheetah in the forest.
Al decided to kill Hubo first, and although he didn't know where Hubo was, he knew very well that Linda, the woman who was Hubo's location, must know.
So as long as Al finds a way to get Linda to contact Hubo, Al will be able to find Hubo's whereabouts!
When night had completely fallen, Al infiltrated Grant Manor.
Sneaking into the big house of Grant Manor without any difficulty, Al touched Linda's door step by step.
Secretly opened the door a crack, and Al looked at Linda, who was sitting in the room with a nervous expression, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but Al quickly put up with it.
Slowly pulling an arrow from the quiver, Al bent his bow and arrow, and shot directly at Linda through the crack in the door.
The arrow pierced through the crack in the door, slicing Linda's shoulder and nailing it to the wall behind her.
At this time, Linda's exclamation came out of her mouth, and her face was full of horror, as if she couldn't believe that Al had come to Grant Manor to assassinate her in such an open position.
Al looked at Linda through the crack in the door, and Linda looked at Al through the crack in the slowly opening door.
But seeing Al sneering, he said directly: "If you are lucky, you actually dodged the arrow I just had, since I lost the opportunity, I will come again tomorrow, of course, before that, I will bring Hu Bo's head to you, and let you two sisters and brothers die together!"
As the words fell, Al glanced at John and Xiulan, who were coming, and Linda's son Alan, and rushed directly to the window, smashed through the window and jumped down.
When John rushed to the window to look for Al's location, he couldn't see half of Al at all.
However, John naturally did not know that when he continued to look for El's traces, Al was hiding in the canopy of a tree in Grant's Manor, watching Linda's movements closely through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally at midnight, Linda couldn't help but finally gave an order to the maid who was following her, asking her to inform Hu Bo to leave Linshan Town as soon as possible.
The maid is an old man who came from Linda's merchant family, so she naturally has no problem with Linda's loyalty.
So when Linda gave the order, the maid sprang into action, put on her cloak and secretly left Grant Manor.
However, the maid didn't know that not far behind her, Al was following her closely, without making any sound.
More than thirty minutes later, the maid came to Hu Bo's hiding place in a carriage.
This is a dilapidated dwelling on the edge of Linshan Town, where Hu Bo and four of his men live.
At this time, they no longer had the arrogance of the distant mountain city before, and they were like frightened birds, staying here with fear on their faces, as if they would faint because of fear anytime and anywhere.
The maid knocked on the door, which startled Hu Bo and the others, until they saw that the person who came was his sister's maid, Hu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
However, before Hu Bo could completely relax, the maid's words made Hu Bo nervous again.
"Young Master Hu Bo, Miss asked me to tell you, leave Linshan Town as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely that El will find him, he went to assassinate Miss just now, but it didn't work!
And according to the news that Miss heard from the Baron today, that guy El has become a high knight, and it is not easy to deal with. ”
Hearing the maid's words, Hu Bo's face turned pale again.
You must know that the High Knight is undoubtedly a heavenly existence for ordinary civilians.
As for the more powerful Bloodline Knights, ordinary civilians are watching them as myths and legends.
So when Hubo heard that Al had become a High Knight, the fear in his heart had reached its peak.
Without saying a word, Hu Bo immediately beckoned his subordinates to pack up their things and wanted to leave Linshan Town as soon as possible.
However, at this time, a voice that made Hu Bo almost pee his pants suddenly sounded outside the door.
"You don't have to pack up your things, because you won't be able to take anything with you on the Yellow Springs Road.
Hubo, I'm coming, are you ready to die?"
