Chapter 181: The Life of the Little Spoon (Gaiden)
The time goes back about three months to about three months ago, just after the end of the large-scale military exercises of Red and Blue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoKevin hasn't traveled to the Kaludia Bandit Lair yet, and the concept of membrane method is a bit earlier. At this moment, the little spoon of the assassin at the end of the capital is still burning carefree.
Born in the family of the Earl of Golyd, she has always been a child of a servant's family, and when she was 5 years old, an uncle in black suddenly took her to a clearing outside, and then forcibly taught her a bunch of assassin techniques, and even taught her literacy, taught her basic courses, and taught her for ten years.
For ten years, almost every night, Little Spoon would go out to learn something. I was a little scared at first, but after two times I got used to it, and the 5-year-old didn't think too much about it. And it feels like it's fun to learn.,I feel the difference between myself and other children.,Little Spoon has been practicing very seriously.。 This is why she can have the strength of a fifth-order warrior at a young age, and of course it may have something to do with her true bloodline.
Ten years of teaching in secret, the little spoon has always been tight-lipped, and has never been known by others, of course, some people just pretend not to know. At that time, Little Spoon would occasionally read some strange novels, and saw that those protagonists often received inexplicable covert assistance, which made her very immersive. At that time, the little spoon felt that he might save the world in the future, and he was secretly excited about it.
At the age of fifteen, the man in black finally opened his mouth to announce a shocking news: "Actually, I am your father." ”
At that time, the little spoon was so shocked that he could barely speak with his mouth open.
The man in black pulled down the mask, and it was Count Gouled himself. The Earl said coldly again: "Call Dad." ”
"You...... And between my mom ...... "little spoon timid guess."
The Count raised his hand, and the little spoon shrank his head in a hurry, almost being struck. The Count then revealed the truth, to the effect that when Little Spoon was born, a servant had also given birth to a girl. The Earl had offended many people, and in order to worry about the safety of his daughter, he temporarily exchanged children with the servants for support.
To put it simply, the current little spoon is the real daughter of the earl, and the surface daughter of the earl at this time is the servant's child. However, regardless of whether it is a real daughter or a false daughter, the earl promises to raise it as his own daughter. And even if she is a fake daughter, when she grows up, she will be involved in high society, which is quite a benefit for a servant.
To this day, this secret is only a ...... More than a hundred people know. The main thing is that the assassins basically know about it, but apart from the assassins, only the parents of both sides know about it. Even the Earl's fake daughter still doesn't know about it, and has always been carefree in front of her noble lady.
And when Little Spoon learned that she was the earl's daughter, she didn't change much. still adheres to her life rules of chopping wood, lighting fires, doing sundries, reading novels, and going out to practice in the middle of the night. Occasionally, he would hunt with the nobles, watch a stage play, or have a ball. Of course, the aristocratic activities, these servants of them are all foils, just to see.
The adoptive parents had tried to ask cautiously, "Are you upset in any way, do you feel unfair?"
"No?" the little spoon was at a loss, "why be upset?"
"Because you might have been a noble lady, you didn't have to do these things. The adoptive parents asked cautiously.
"It doesn't matter," the little spoon said, "I've gotten used to it for so many years." ”
"Isn't it really a little uncomfortable?" the adoptive parents asked again.
"No," the little spoon smiled, "and I feel like I have a very powerful father, no problem?" but I can't tell the current noble lady, or I might break down." ”
Parents can only be speechless. Little Spoon's optimistic personality was praised by the Assassin President. At the age of 15, Little Spoon officially entered the Assassin Guild, becoming the last Assassin, and was given the code name "Little Spoon".
After becoming an Assassin, the other Assassins took good care of the newcomer. Especially Xiao Jiu, the assassin at the end of the original 99th rank, quickly became acquainted with her. It was also at that time that Little Spoon read the first novel with an assassin as the main character, called "The Legend of the Assassins". Even so, Little Spoon's life has not changed, and the Assassins come in the middle of the night to chat with her, and during the day they still chop wood and light fires.
It wasn't until Little Spoon was 16 years old that she finally got her first mission, which was to assassinate Kevin Indon. However, this mission failed, and it seems that there is no chance of success in the future.
They then traveled together to the country of Leibozier, but unfortunately the mission failed. Later, Kevin came to work as a tutor for a while, but the two of them didn't talk much. After that, there was only one mission during the Red and Blue military exercises. Other than that, it's basically a repetitive and monotonous life.
Looking back on the military exercise, it was still very fresh and exciting. Little Spoon was responsible for monitoring the progress of the military exercise at that time, and was mainly by Kevin's side in the middle and late stages. But she was ordered not to say a word to Kevin, and Little Spoon strictly followed the order, and only after the final military exercise did she show up to chat with Kevin.
However, after returning from the military exercise, the peaceful life became extremely boring and boring. It's like eating gorgeous food, and then eating coarse tea and light rice is difficult to swallow. I have experienced an exciting and interesting life, and I am also deeply bored with chopping wood and boiling water.
However, Spoon was an Assassin, and the Assassin had excellent patience. Even though she was still an unpopular Assassin, at least her father had raised her as an Assassin since she was a child. It's just that she has gradually begun to hide her extraordinary strength, such as chopping wood faster and faster, and she has surpassed ordinary men. For example, the speed of cleaning is also very fast, and the hands and feet are nimble.
And behind the stove, this place where she is the only one who burns the fire, she even sometimes burns the fire while reading a book. This proposal was made after she chatted with Kevin, and she really tried to do it when she came back. It doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with it, and once the fire is lit, there's basically no need to care about it.
It's just that once the little spoon read too seriously, and the person was in a trance. Subconsciously reached out to add firewood, but threw the book into the stove. But it didn't matter, the little spoon reacted quickly, reached directly into the fire, and snatched out the book, and the book was not damaged. The level of an assassin is not in vain after all.
It was another uneventful noon, and the little spoon was still sitting behind the stove as usual. Holding a book in one hand and a piece of wood in the other, the flames in the stove in front of him were blazing. On the opposite stove, the chefs are busy preparing for today's lunch.
There was a crackling sound in the furnace, and the firewood that had been erected in the furnace collapsed. All those who have burned a fire know that firewood can burn more vigorously in the middle of the fire. However, as the burning time is longer, the overhead firewood will eventually collapse and become piled together, and the firepower will suddenly weaken. At this time, you either add new firewood, or use tongs to re-erect the unburned firewood.
The former is more convenient, while the latter is more economical in firewood. However, chopping wood is also the work of the small spoon, so the little spoon is more likely to choose the latter, but she does not use tongs.
I looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention to this side. The small spoon reached directly into the fire with his bare hands, quickly grabbed the hot charcoal with his hands, set it into a hollow, and then pulled it out. In the blink of an eye, the flames in the furnace were blazing again, and no one was paying attention.
The little spoon looked at his hand, and the finger holding the charcoal was rubbed against the black ash of the hand, but it was not injured. casually rubbed the black ash on the apron on his body, and then turned the pages of the book to continue reading.
This is a popular science book, and recently I often hear the concept of what is the development and change of the times, etc., not only the earl said so, Kevin also said so, and even advised her to read more books. The little spoon obediently got some popular science books and came back to read.
Well, the book says that after the establishment of a large array in the whole city in the future, every household can directly borrow the ability of the magic array and gather the fire element on its own, without the need for firewood. Does that mean that my superb fire-making skills are useless? The little spoon pursed his lips, a little unhappy.
"Xiao Lin, the fire can be extinguished. The chef shouted from the front. As a chef, he controls all the people in the kitchen, whether the fire should be bigger, smaller or extinguished, and he is at his command.
"Do you want to burn anything?" asked the little spoon. Lin is her name here, but everyone calls her Xiao Lin when they see her small.
"Wait a minute, then burn another fish. ”
"Oh. The little spoon nodded, and then reached in and took out all the burning coals. Quickly blow it out and throw it aside. Later, when the cook wants to cook the fish again, then the charcoal fire will be thrown in again. It's not impossible for ordinary people to be so saving, but they just need the help of tongs, and they don't have the speed to come with her bare hands.
The flaw of this method is that it is inevitable that the hand will be black. No matter how fast it is, you always have to touch the charcoal with your hands, and there is no way to turn black. The small spoon has long been used to it, just rub it on the apron twice at will, sometimes it will be in a trance, and it will get on the face if you brush your hair first. For this, the spoon was often ridiculed by the other servants.
"Meow!" a cat meow attracted everyone's attention, and when I turned my head to look, I saw a reed cat that had become a fat ball slowly coming in.
"Go out, don't go into the kitchen. Everyone drove away, and the fat cat immediately ran away.
It was just an ordinary cat, and the present count's daughter, who once looked pitiful on the side of the road, saw that it was brightly colored, and adopted it. But because the Earl eats too well, the cat ends up fat into a ball. For this reason, the count's daughter ordered that it should never be allowed in the kitchen again, because she did not want to raise a cat into a pig.
But according to the estimation of the little spoon, as long as the people here are gone, the cat will definitely sneak in in every possible way, which is already a routine.
Sure enough, when the fish was finished, the lunch was basically over. The servants outside served the dishes, cleaned and cleaned, and they were almost gone in a moment. Only Little Spoon was still reading by the firewood.
A shadow flickered in front of him, and the little spoon just calmly put down the book: "Da Da, come here." ”
Dada is the name of this cat. At this time, in the corner of the wall, sure enough, the fat cat was lying there, as if he wanted to sneak in silently, but how could he escape the eyes of the little spoon.
"Da Da, come over here and let me hug me. The little spoon held out his hand and gestured.
"Meow. The fat cat seemed to be quite helpless, and moved its round body over, and the little spoon took it to his lap and touched its fur. This cat is not afraid of acquaintances, and people in the mansion can basically hold it, but once an outsider is present, it will not come out.
"I've heard that there is something that can be enlightened, would you like to try it too?" the little spoon rubbed its head, "If you had wisdom, what would you think?"
"Meow. The fat cat seemed to be very comfortable, and even rolled on her lap, patting her paws from side to side, and her round belly was exposed.
"Okay, okay, let's go, you can't stay here. "The little spoon had enough, picked up the cat and put it outside the door.
The fat cat landed on all fours and looked up: "Meow!" seemed very dissatisfied.
The little spoon crossed his waist and reprimanded him: "You are too fat, you know, you are already a pig, you know, you are not allowed to go in again!"
"Meow meow!" the fat cat was not afraid, and saw the opportunity. In an instant, he rushed out with the agility that did not match his fatness, jumped over the small spoon, jumped on the chair, jumped on the table, and the fish on the table was in front of him, and he only needed to pounce on it.
The little spoon smiled suddenly, and the person instantly turned into an afterimage, grabbed the fat cat in an instant, and then took it back to the door and put it back on the ground.
"Go, you try again. The little spoon smiled defiantly.
"Meow!" the fat cat was really not convinced, and ran out again, jumped on the chair, and ran onto the table. Just when I watched the last pounce, I suddenly felt like I was caught again. Then he watched as the fish hurried away, and then his four legs landed in the doorway.
"Meow ......"
"Go, you try again. "Little Spoon is still defiant.
"Have you been particularly bored lately?" a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
The little spoon was startled, hurriedly turned back, and then bowed his head: "Lord Earl." "This is his own genuine father, in fact, he also loves the little spoon, but he likes to be silent and appear behind others anytime and anywhere.
"Listen," the Count said coldly, "if you think there is no one around you and expose your abilities at will, you will never be a good assassin." Just because you think no one is really no one. ”
"Yes. The little spoon replied with a bowed head.
But when she looked up again, the Count was nowhere to be found. Turning his head to look at the cat on the ground, he meowed at her, and walked away with his round belly.
Late that night, the little spoon came out to practice at a fixed time. The Assassin Guild usually doesn't come anymore, and she usually practices on her own. Today, however, the Assassin President has reappeared.
"President. Little Spoon got down on one knee. Coming out to practice in the middle of the night, the little spoon is an assassin, and when he meets the president at this time, he should salute. If Little Spoon is a maid and meets the Earl, who is dressed as a Count, then she is called "Earl". If Little Spoon is an assassin at this time, he meets the Earl's outfit, which is also called "Earl". If the spoon is a maid outfit and the Assassin Guild outfit is encountered, it should shout, "Who are you?", "What do you want to do?", "Help!", etc.
Assassins sometimes had to change their identities frequently, and this was a reminder of who they were. Strictly speaking, there is no room for error. Little Spoon has missed a few times, in exchange for a reprimand.
"You're 17 years old this year," the Assassin head sighed, "you're going to be an adult next year, what do you think about the future?"
"I think I'd better be an Assassin," replied Spoon, "a good Assassin." ”
"Assassins are not as simple as you think. ”
"I know," replied Spoon, "that Assassins sometimes need to eat other people's in order to assassinate someone." ”
Assassin President: "......"
"President," said Masase, Little Spoon, "don't worry, if I really get there one day, I can eat ...... too."
"That's enough," the Assassin Guild chief interrupted with a dark face, "if you really want to be a good Assassin, then the next time is to start special training. And lest you get bored during the day. ”
"Yes. Little Spoon was a little excited when he heard the special training.
"Seventeen years old is almost a stage of growth, and it is easy to increase your fighting spirit at this stage," the Assassin leader took Little Spoon's hand and pulled her up, "If you can be promoted successfully, then become an Assassin, otherwise I will find a chance to restore your identity and become a noble lady." ”
"Thank you, Dad," Little Spoon just nodded, "I'll try." ”
