Chapter 34: The Family of Killers
And just when this cronie complained, he suddenly felt a cold neck, and when he looked down, he found that it was an old lady with a face like orange peel, holding a dagger against his neck.
"What's going on?!!Where did she come from?" the messenger was momentarily dumbfounded. Although it is said that he climbed up by observing words and emotions and his ability to slap horses. But that doesn't mean he's a coward. In fact, Vytautas chose him for this task because this guy has good combat skills, and one person can pick several. That's why he came over. However, at this moment, he, a young and strong warrior, actually let a little old lady who looked like she was about to fall into the ground come close to him and put a dagger against her neck. What's going on?!
"Boy, be careful next time. ”
But the old lady didn't seem to feel sorry for him. He snorted twice, and after saying such a threatening word, his hand trembled, and the dagger did not know where it was received, and then went around the back of the messenger and staggered him. When the messenger looked again, the old lady did not know where she had gone.
“...... I really didn't expect that an old woman also has a stunt. It doesn't seem like it's going to be easy. The messenger patted his heart, which was beating hard. I thought so in my heart. At this time, this guy carefully calmed down and took a look, but he felt that the qualified, empty and quiet mountain village was actually hiding a murderous motive. The birdsong and ape cry contain malice and are very sinister. This guy's spirit tensed up all of a sudden. Then he cautiously continued to move forward, for fear of touching some trap or something, so that he would die without a place to be buried.
However, what happened next was unusual, the messenger did not encounter any traps, nor did the curses of the tribal shamans or anything like that, and the old lady who was an extraordinary assassin did not reappear. In this way, he walked very smoothly into the village, and found the old man who looked like a blind man very smoothly. After explaining his intentions and putting down the letter and the gold coins, he hurried away and went back to report to his master.
"Hmph, such a big person, but so small. When the messenger had run away, the blind old man snorted lightly, and then weighed the purse: "Oh, the portion is good. It can't be a silver coin, right?" the old man opened his purse again, took out a gold coin, touched it, weighed it, determined the mass volume, and then bit it again.
"It's gold, indeed...... And it's the latest Norman gold coin to be issued. It's worth more than regular gold coins. Big deal......" said the old blind man to himself, and then fell into silence, and waited a little longer, and only after hearing the door of the hut creak open, did he smile again with hunger.
"Come, good apprentice, the sale is on the door. ”
As the door opened, a man dressed in animal skin shoulders and a short skirt revealed fair, taut and powerful limbs, while his long blond hair was tied into a crisp single ponytail. The eyes are blue, the facial features are delicate, and the bridge of the nose is high. It looks very handsome. He has a slender body and flexible waist, and he can't hear at all when he walks. Although the attire is no different from that of ordinary mountain people. But it's the kind of type that can be quickly picked out when placed in a pile. Very conspicuous, the temperament is also quite good, and it looks shrewd and capable. It's just that the fly in the ointment is that the chest is slightly - no, it should be said that it is completely flat. It's flat, like bluestone slabs used to pave the road.
The man (who should have been a woman?) responded in a somewhat hoarse, neutral voice after hearing the old man's excited voice, "Yes, Master." "It was very calm and not a big deal. After that, he put the firewood on his back and the firewood knife in his hand on the ground, patted his slightly dirty hands, strode over, sat cross-legged opposite the old man, picked up the kettle on the desk, and poured it directly without a cup.
"Just now, a Kaizi came and made a big deal. The deposit alone is 100 Norman gold. That means that after completing the task, there will be four hundred Norman gold, and then we can leave this hellish place, ahhh......hh
"Ah......" After drinking all the pot of cold water, the young man groaned comfortably, and then said, "But the difficulty should be higher." After all, it's a guy who is willing to give such a large amount. As she spoke, she took the letter and began to read it. ,
"So what? If the target is not difficult, how can you show that your methods are clever? Don't worry, you are the top killer I have trained single-handedly. In this world, you can't assassinate people who succeed and can count them on one hand. ”
"Well," the young man agreed casually, and then looked at the text, as if talking to himself, and as if to the old man: "Look at the text is Lithuanian...... The goal is ...... Norman Emperor?!"
At the end of the reading, the young man couldn't help but shout out loud. He looked very surprised.
"What? Are you saying that the client this time is the Norman Emperor, or, ......?"
"The Norman Emperor is the target, the client is a Lithuanian, well, maybe even the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas himself. The young man put the letter down and spoke in a deep voice.
"Oh, uh, that's ......," the old blind man suddenly fell into distress. Frowning his brows and opening his mouth, he closed again. I don't know what to say.
"The Norman Emperor, isn't the Norman Emperor at war with the Lithuanians. No wonder they wanted to assassinate him. Well, without further ado, I left for lunch. When the young man had finished saying this, he put down the letter, and then looked at the old man and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Master?"
"You can't go this time. So the old man said, "We can't afford this deal." ”
"Why? Didn't you say that we would be able to get out of here as long as we received this money?" the young man asked, puzzled, "Or do you think I'm going to fail?"
"Of course, ordinary people can't be difficult for you, but as I said just now, good apprentice, there are still a few people in this world that you can't assassinate, and the Norman Emperor is one of them. The old blind man sighed, and then said, "This guy is very capable, and there are countless capable people around him. Its minions are fierce and cunning, and they are not afraid of death. Back then, your master and I were picked by the assassin leaders under his command. The Assassins' Guild was also taken to the table. That's why I ran to this hellish place to hide for my life. ”
"That's because you're old, Master. The skills are blunt. The young man snorted, looking a little disapproving.
"Why can't you kid understand the good words?!" the old blind man was a little angry: "Then the Norman Emperor is not the only one who is the leader of the assassins, Nemulis. Whether it's the Guards Knight in the Ming or the Battlefield Killer in the Dark, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp, although you are powerful, good apprentice, but it's already the limit to fight three or five. If the other person rushes up, you're going to hang up. I'm still counting on you to provide for your old age. Don't let me send a white-haired person to a black-haired person......"
"Say something frustrating. At this time, such a shout came from the back room. After that, the old lady who had threatened the messenger with a dagger at the mouth of the valley came out with a wooden basin. There were three bowls of cereal porridge in it, a few pieces of brown bread and some steamed meat, I don't know what kind of animal meat it was.
"Don't be like him, granddaughter. The old lady laid the basin on the table, then sat down on the other side, and placed the slightly more cereal beside the young man. After that, he slapped the old blind man's hand that was about to steal the bread very hard, and after talking to the young man, he turned around and snorted coldly at the old blind man: "You still dare to say this, I said back then that I wanted you to surrender and ask you to join the Norman Empire." Anyway, your brand is worth some money. An old bone can still pave the way for our granddaughter. It's better that you have to work against others. What was the result? Didn't you hide in this ravine? Even the children suffered with you. ”
"Hehehe......" The old blind man was embarrassed to death when she said this, and he smirked and stopped talking.
"I'll make you laugh!" Seeing the old blind man's response, the old lady became even more angry. He took the wooden spoon used to hold the rice and struck the old blind man with his head and face.
"Alright, grandma......" The young man immediately ran over to stop her grandmother's atrocity: "Don't be angry with Master. After all, our killer guild has been passed down for generations. As soon as the Norman Assassins came and did nothing, they were going to let us move places. Who can stand it? ”
"That's what I said. The old woman sighed, and then held the young man's hand: "But granddaughter, the truth is that we can't beat people, if you want me to say, don't do it as a killer or anything." After going out of the mountain, find a good man to marry. ”,
"I'm leaving, what are you going to do with Master?" said the young man.
"We're all old, we don't have many years to live. The old lady sighed and said.
"Grandma......" The young man was a little sad. Holding her grandmother's hand, there was a little tear in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, what are you going to do with all this. Don't want it, don't want it. Old man - put the money away. Don't move. I'll give it back to them when they come back and ask. ”
"What...... Those Lithuanians are dead. The money is ownerless. You can spend as much as you want......" the old blind man complained loudly, and then he was hit twice on the arm. The young man lowered his head, took the cereal and drank it, his eyes twinkling with no idea what he was thinking...... [Text provided here].
