Chapter 57: The Old Man

Davout and the others all looked at Colin with bitter faces, all this came so fast that everyone hadn't reacted yet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Davout frowned and asked, "Colin, this is someone from the Correctional Institute, right?"

Colin smiled and nodded, and said to Davout and the others, "Let's put our things away and prepare to accept the tavern next door!"

Dawu and the others looked at each other, these people were not afraid of blood, but today's ruthless killing still left a deep impression on these underworld people, and they were even more afraid and resistant to the power of the church.

Davout sighed and commanded everyone, but he pulled Colin out of the tavern and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect you to solve this matter so easily!"

Colin shook his head and said, "This is an exception, just because you can do this today doesn't mean you can do it in the future!" Davout shook his head to show that he didn't understand, Colin sighed: "I can't always do things through punishment, now there are people who are dissatisfied with my teacher, although my teacher didn't say anything, but I can feel that he is also under a lot of pressure!"

Davout shrugged, indicating that he really didn't understand, Colin smiled: "In the future, I will rely more on myself, I don't think it's like always relying on the correctional center!"

Davout looked at Colin, he still didn't seem to understand what Colin meant, Colin smiled and shook his head, since he personally experienced the brutal execution of the ranger by the Punishment Institute, he began to have a faint aversion to the punishment in his heart, so Colin didn't want to rely on the Punishment Center for everything now, but these words couldn't be said clearly to Davout.

Davout smiled and said mysteriously to Colin, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone!"

Sitting in the carriage, Colin actually knew in his heart who Davout was going to take him to.

When the carriage stopped in front of a small dilapidated courtyard, Davout took the lead in getting out of the carriage, opened the side door and walked in, Colin followed behind Davout, and when the two entered the courtyard, they saw a small two-story building erected in the middle of the courtyard, the walls of the small building looked mottled and old, and it seemed to be many years old.

Davout didn't take Colin into the small building, but instead walked around the small building to the backyard, in front of a shabby table, a white-haired old man was squinting on a chaise longue, holding a steaming teacup. The old man was about sixty years old, with dark skin, wrinkles on his face, and looking at the vicissitudes of life, Colin knew that this old man was Davout's teacher, that is, the legendary old man!

Sure enough, Dawu walked up to the old man and greeted him in a respectful tone: "Teacher, I'm here!" The old man opened his eyes, looked at Dawu and Colin carefully, and said with a smile: "Sit down, the tea is just brewed, drink it while it's hot!"

Davout smiled and pulled Colin in front of him, but before the two of them could speak, the old man looked at Colin and smiled, "Colin is it, sit down!"

Colin felt that the old man's gaze seemed to be like a knife when he looked at him, but then it was cloudy again, revealing the harmlessness of humans and animals.

Colin silently saluted the old man, but Davout pulled over two chairs and sat down separately from Colin.

The old man smiled and asked, "Is the matter over?"

Davout nodded and replied, "It's over! Alves is dead!"

The old man smiled and said to Colin, "Your teacher seems to really love you!"

Colin was silent, and the old man laughed at himself: "Many years ago, I knew a truth, the church and the empire cannot be provoked, and for so many years, I have never been willing to provoke the church and the empire, which is why I have been able to live for so many years!"

The old man shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that when I was old, I still couldn't hide from it!"

Davout's face was a little embarrassed, but Colin remained silent.

The old man looked at Colin with a smile and asked, "Do you know what your teacher wants you to do?"

For the first time since Colin entered the courtyard, he said, "The teacher hopes that I can grow up as soon as possible!"

The old man then asked, "Do you think you can grow in the underworld?"

Colin shook his head and said, "I really don't think the underworld is a big deal!"

Davout's face darkened, he remembered what happened just now, no matter how proud he was, but he also knew that his ability was in the middle of Alves, and it was not a simple matter for him to kill Alves, but Alves didn't even have a chance to breathe in front of the people Colin led, and was directly crushed to death, thinking of this, Davout's heart seemed to be pressed like a mountain.

The old man sneered: "You don't even know what the underworld is, and you dare to look down on the underworld!"

Colin raised his head and looked at the old man, who said disdainfully: "Look, you are followed by at least five ground level masters, and there is even a team of cavalry waiting a street away, but if I do it now, can you dodge?"

The old man didn't move at all when he said this, and even his expression seemed extremely natural, but Colin found that he seemed to be caught in a huge whirlpool, his body was completely unable to move, and even the ability to speak seemed to have disappeared.

The old man then took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Of course, I can't kill you either!"

After the old man said this, the strangeness on Colin's body disappeared, and Colin took a deep breath, realizing that his back was already soaked in an instant.

The old man smiled and said to Colin, "You probably don't know that the first cardinal archbishop of your church's correctional center used to be an underworld figure!"

Colin was stunned, he just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly remembered the oppressive aura and dark methods of the correctional center, could it be that the correctional center is the underworld organization of the church?

The old man sighed and said: "Your teacher just wants me to teach you and teach you the means of killing, but I think that your teacher thinks too highly of me, compared to killing, there are few teachers in the whole flange who can compare with you!"

Colin was silent, and after a while he asked, "Sir, my teacher may not be able to teach me personally!"

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, a cardinal archbishop personally led people to kill people, it seems impossible to think about it!"

As soon as William leaves the cathedral now, at least he will be accompanied by hundreds of priests and even hundreds of cavalry, not to mention killing, even his every move will be watched.

Colin asked curiously, "Sir, would you like to teach me?"

The old man replied helplessly: "I am old, and I am not capable of refusing a cardinal archbishop, so I have to teach you whether I want to or not!"

Colin stood up and said to the old man, "Old man, if you are willing to teach me, I will treat you as a teacher, and if you are not willing, I will never force it!

The old man laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if you leave!"

Colin shook his head and said, "I'll make it clear to the teacher, he will definitely understand me!"

After Colin finished speaking, he resolutely got up, smiled at Davout and nodded, and then walked to the way he came, Davout said anxiously to the old man, "Teacher......"

The old man sighed and shouted at Colin, "Wait a minute!"

Colin seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally slowly turned to look at the old man.

The old man said helplessly, "Are you sure you want to learn?"

Colin remembered his strange state just now, nodded firmly, and the old man said to Davout, "You go first!"

Davout smiled and stood up and whispered to Colin, "Study hard!"

The old man stood up, and Colin realized that the old man was very short, and the old man beckoned to Colin and led Colin into the room.

The decoration in the room is very quaint, and the mottled and simple outside does not match at all, all kinds of decorations are very high-grade, the old man led Colin to a study on the second floor, beckoned Colin to sit down, the old man took a painting down from the wall, the wall revealed a small hidden hole, the old man took out a simple and dusty box from the small hole, and put it on the table with a solemn expression.

The old man beckoned Colin over, and then opened the box, there were two daggers with unique styles, one red and one black, the blades were dull, the old man motioned Colin to pick up one, Colin chose black without hesitation, but when he picked it up, he found that the sharpness of this dagger was beyond imagination, just holding it in his hand, he could feel a cold chill on his face.

Colin exclaimed, "This dagger looks good!" and the old man smiled proudly, "It's just good, isn't it?

Colin looked shocked and asked, "Is this really a holy artifact?"

The old man laughed and said, "Sort of!"

Colin asked helplessly, "What do you mean?"

The old man sighed and said, "The real holy weapon is to be enchanted by a magician with a forbidden spell, and this one is not yet, it can be regarded as a half-holy weapon!"

Colin stroked the black dagger with affection, and thought to himself: If I could find a magician to enchant it, wouldn't I get a holy weapon!

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I've sent you!"

Colin greedily asked, "Which one?"

The old man said angrily: "Why don't you kid rob it, I have a total of these two good things, can't you rob them?"

Colin sneered: "No, no, it's just that you are old, and you won't need it in the future!"

The old man snorted, put the lid on the box and put it back in its place, and when he turned back, he found that Colin was staring intently at the painting, and the old man said angrily: "Boy, don't think about it, it's already my limit to give you a handful!

Colin thought to himself: I'm crazy to give such a good thing to the church, and besides, the church has all the artifacts, will you take a fancy to my semi-holy weapon. Colin didn't know that if an ordinary priest sacrificed a half-holy weapon to the church, at least an ordinary deacon would not be able to escape, and the church has paid more and more attention to the collection of property and treasures over the years, which of course has nothing to do with the cardinal archbishop of the House of Faith!
