After a long time, Jon and his son walked out of the inn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you for everything, Mr. Violet. Mother Jon bowed deeply.

"I promised Jon, and now I'm just keeping my promise. Albert smiled back. "Madame, you can call me by my name. He looked at Jon's mother, "Albert. ”

"Linda. Mother Jon introduced herself.

"Thank you, Albert. Jon's voice choked up. "I will definitely repay you when I grow up. He said seriously.

"I'm looking forward to that day, but you first have to learn to be a man. Albert smiled. "Now, wipe away your tears. He told Jon, "Hold your mother and we'll get out of here." ”

"Albert, can you do me another favor?" Jon looked up at Albert, "That warehouse still holds my best friend captive, I want to ......"

"Jon, Mr. Violet has done enough for us. Linda interrupted Jon, "We can't expect too much. ”

"Ma'am, Jon is right. Albert smiled, "Don't worry, your friend will be fine." He looked down at the little boy, "I'll save your friends, save everyone." He told Jon, "But not now, I have to get you to safety first so I don't get distracted." ”

"Where?" Jon asked, biting his lip.

"Of course it's my family, have you forgotten our agreement?" he stroked Jon's slightly greasy hair. "If you want, then it will be your home from now on. ”

With that, Albert boarded the carriage that had been rented in advance, "Come on, there is not much time left for us." ”

Tiger Head Peak.

A strong man of about thirty-five years old, who was eighteen centimeters tall, walked through the narrow cave and came to a wide stone house that had been hewn out. There were no furnishings in the room, and a middle-aged man in his forties leaned on a large stone chair in the center. In front of the stone chair was a tiger skin, with the tiger's head facing the door, its eyes wide open with anger, and its mouth wide open.

"Big brother, are you looking for me?" the strong man asked the middle-aged man on the stone chair.

"Tiger, has something happened outside lately?" the middle-aged man said calmly.

"I didn't think anything was wrong. The Tiger King was stunned. "Big brother, why do you ask?" he was a little puzzled.

"The Black Tiger and the Evil Tiger have not been heard from for more than a month. The middle-aged man sat up straight. "No coolies or gold coins were sent back. "He was a little worried.

"Maybe they haven't had much to gain lately. The Tiger King guessed.

"It's not as simple as you think. The middle-aged man shook his head. "They're brothers, and they're getting more and more estranged from me, and I have reason to believe they've betrayed me. He told the Tiger King, a chill flashing in his eyes, "Maybe they went somewhere, somewhere we can't find it." ”

"Do you need me to send someone to investigate?" the Tiger King asked, after a moment's silence.

"I've sent a couple of scouts. The middle-aged man stared at the Tiger King. "But no news has come back. He said in a deep voice.

"I'm going to Boltonburg this time to send someone to find out, and I think there must be some misunderstanding here. "The Tiger King was a little unbelievable, he was a brother who was born and died with him.

"I hope so. The middle-aged man nodded, and then changed the subject, "If they really betray us, you know what to do." ”

"I'll find out. The Tiger King swore solemnly, "If they really betray, I will never be relentless." ”

"Don't let me down. The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth raised slightly, "Brother Tiger, you should know very well that without the protection of the Sakura family, the Crouching Tiger bandit group is nothing." He reminded the Tiger King.

"Rest assured, I will never betray you. "Tiger King promised.

The carriage was much faster than on foot, and in just three days, Albert and his mother and son were back at Blackwater.

During this time, Albert learns from small talk what happened to Jon's mother and son after he left the town. Albert learns that Jon has hired a doctor to treat Linda, and after a few days of treatment, Linda's condition improves, but the Tigers come to the door and take the mother and son away. Later, as he saw, Jon was imprisoned in an underground warehouse, and Linda was forced to become a spurned **. Of course, Jon didn't know about Linda, and Albert kept it a secret for Linda, not wanting to leave a bigger shadow on Jon's psyche.

It was the first time he had come to such a bustling city, and Jon looked around, almost with joy. It looked exactly like Edith.

However, Jon's mother didn't react at all, and didn't seem to be surprised by the bustling scene around her. It seems that Linda went to the big city when she was younger, Albert thought to himself.

After a few blocks, Albert drove the carriage home. The small courtyard is paved with greenery and dotted with colorful flowers, and in the middle stands a vigorous banyan tree, which leads to a three-story building covered with vines.

"Albert, is this your home?" Jon blushed with excitement.

"You're wrong. Albert shook his head. "From now on, this is our home. He stared into Jon's innocent gaze.

Now Jon has changed into new clothes, and his hair that was messy and greasy has been trimmed in the barbershop, and he looks much more energetic, and he can no longer find the shadow of the thief. Albert looked at Jon's immature face, and for some reason, he felt that Jon looked like an acquaintance, but he couldn't remember who he looked like for a while.

"Ma'am, where's Jon's father?" Albert asked abruptly.

"What?" Linda was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, Jon doesn't have a father. ”

"Please forgive me for being rude. Albert said apologetically, and it seemed that Linda was not going to tell him the answer, "Ma'am, there is something I need to ask for your and Jon's consent. ”

"Please, Mr. Violet. Linda smiled, but there was something strange behind the smile, and it was not clear whether it was good or bad. What should come will come, she thought to herself, no one would help someone for no reason. Although Albert had said that it was a promise to help Jon, she didn't believe in promises or anything like that, especially a man's promise. A woman's instincts are accurate, and she is confident in her appearance. Linda looked at Jon, a little sad and a little relieved, all for the sake of the child.

"I want to send Jon to learn martial arts. Albert looked at Linda, with a complicated expression, "With my daughter." ”

"Is that all?" said Linda, incredulous.

"That's all. Albert nodded.

Early in the morning.

After another three days, Albert returned to Fort Bolton.

However, as soon as he entered the city, he was stopped by a dozen guards.

The captain of the guard took out a piece of parchment, looked at the portrait on it, and after careful comparison, his expression became gloomy.

"Sir, you are suspected of a homicide, come with us. As the captain spoke, he drew his sword from his waist. The other guards also flashed their swords and surrounded Albert.

"I did kill people, but I killed gang members. Albert said truthfully.

"As long as killing is a crime. The captain's words were right.

"I'm a member of the Mage's Guild, and it's part of my mission to eradicate those gangsters. Albert made up a reason not to clash with the guards. "Look at this. He took out the core crest of the Mage Guild made of pure gold from his pocket.

"What is this?" asked the captain, although he didn't know what kind of coat of arms it was, but judging from the material, the young man in front of him must not be simple.

"The core member of the Mage Guild Crest, I'm on a guild mission. Albert smiled. "I hope you can cooperate. With that, he pocketed his coat of arms.

"With all due respect, I don't know if it's true or not. The captain said uncertainly.

"You can follow me to the Mage's Guild to verify. Albert pointed to Fort Bolton's most majestic tower, the iconic ivory tower.

"Let me think about it. The captain was hesitant. "I can't do this. The captain told Albert, "Please wait, I need to ask the sheriff." ”

"Better hurry, I've got business to do. Albert smiled.

The captain of the guard nodded, and turned to leave.

The guards looked at Albert, who was calm, and then at his companions, and they all chose to put away their swords. If what the other party said was true, they would undoubtedly offend a big man who couldn't be provoked. Even if what the other party said was a lie, in the case of the captain's departure, they ordinary people who were not even apprentice martial artists were powerless to fight against a magician.

"You're smart. Seeing the guards' actions, Albert nodded in satisfaction.

Fort Bolton Sheriff's Office.

"Your Excellency, I have found the murderer of the LTTE. The captain of the guard said breathlessly.

"You're doing a good job. The burly middle-aged man nodded and sneered, "Bring the murderer in, and I'll see who dares to touch the Tiger Gang." ”

"But the killer is not here. The captain of the guard wiped the sweat stains from his forehead, I don't know if he was tired, or a little afraid of the other party. "We didn't arrest him. He told him.

"Why?" the sheriff frowned, "tell me, what are you thinking?"

"But that man is a magician. The captain of the guard looked embarrassed and said, "He claims to be a core member of the Mage Guild, and I didn't dare to arrest him." ”

"Core member of the Mage Guild?" the burly middle-aged man Huo Ran stood up. "Are you sure?" his face darkened, if the other party was a core member of the Mage Guild, it would be a big trouble. The Mage's Guild is an independent body that is not subject to imperial power, and its members are not governed by imperial law.

"Not sure. The captain of the guard shook his head. "That's why I want to ask you to come over. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the middle-aged man.

I hope it's not true, the burly middle-aged man thought to himself, a little uneasy.

In just one day, LTTE members were killed and underground warehouses looted, apparently by one person, against the LTTE. If the other party is really a core member of the Mage Guild, it is likely to deal a devastating blow to the LTTE.
