"Huh?"

Listening to Tina's words, Ollie couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Didn't you pay attention?"

Tina's tone was a little impatient: "This mission specifically declares that no matter which organization Aeus is killed by in the end, as long as he really dies, we can get the reward we deserve." ”

"That's how it is."

Ollie was a little surprised: "If that's the case, then wouldn't we just wait for others to do it and kill Aesius?" ”

"Theoretically yes, but in practice no."

Tina explained, "The delegators weren't stupid. ”

"Even though they don't do it themselves, they will also lurk in the shadows, watching our movements."

"And people have specially said that if you can kill Aesius, in addition to the original reward, there will be a generous reward."

"I see."

Hearing this, Ollie also understood, and nodded directly.

Delegating delegates and rewards directly to all organizations was to prevent these organizations from fighting each other, and in the end, it gave Aesius a chance to break through.

The reward for the last person to kill Aeus is to prevent them from being fished by the killers, which will end up wasting opportunities.

All aspects are well thought out.

With these constraints, coupled with those people secretly staring and observing the performance of many organizations, it is natural to achieve the goal.

"Okay."

Ollie looked ahead, still with a puzzled look on his face: "But even so, what are we going to do with this guy's body?" ”

What appeared in front of him at this moment was Herder's corpse.

Yes, in the previous melee, it was the two of them who smuggled Herder's body out.

Of course, this is also a temporary idea.

If it weren't for the actions of the two people before, they wouldn't have dared to do this.

Snatching Herder's body in front of a real knight was difficult for them to think about.

However, despite the arrival of the corpse, Ollie still wondered about the purpose of the corpse.

"There's a lot of use for this thing."

Tina disposed of the corpse as she spoke, "As long as it is used properly, even garbage can play its due value, let alone the corpse of a top apprentice." ”

"You have to understand, on the bright side, this guy is still an excellent student of Hodd Academy."

"As long as this identity is used well, it is quite useful."

"Are you trying to .......?"

Listening to Tina's words, Ollie couldn't help frowning, as if he had some clues.

But before he could say anything, Tina on the side shook her head and said, "Okay." ”

"The body is taken care of for the time being, and it is time for us to leave."

Tina stood still, looking at Ollie on the side, and then whispered, "Let's go see how Theseus is going." ”

"I don't know who did it, but he didn't die that easily."

Ollie shook his head, not hopeful about Aesius's affairs.

"I know."

Tina smiled and said, "But that's why it's all the more important to visit, isn't it?" ”

As they spoke, they took a step forward and walked forward.

And on the other side.

Leaving the battlefield from his previous position, Artimus quickly returned to where he had been.

He did not return to his quarters, but first came to the quarters of Theseus.

Before he left here, there was no one here in Aesius, only the previous killer.

As for Aesius himself, he has long since disappeared.

But when Artim came back again, everything changed.

In the spacious hall, Aeus sat alone in the living room.

He had a book in his hand and read it there carefully, while in the other he held a wine glass, and his face was full of languidness.

Looking at it like this, it's quite relaxing.

Looking at the appearance of Aesius in front of him, Artimus couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you have successfully solved it there."

Looking at Artimus in front of him, a smile appeared on Aeus's face: "Are things still going well?" ”

"It's fine."

Yadimu nodded first, then shook his head: "But they still escaped." ”

"That's normal."

Theseus spoke, not at all surprised: "The weakest and top-level apprentices who are qualified to do it to me. ”

"These people are all professional killers, not comparable to the knight apprentices in the academy."

"Well, I understand."

Adim nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Helde is dead. ”

"Huh?"

This time, it was Aeus's turn to be surprised.

Unlike the others, Heard was a serious student of Hodd Academy.

The difference in identity makes his weight different from others.

Under the watchful eye of Aesius, Artimus recounted in detail what had happened before.

From his fight with Herder to the disappearance of Herder's body, everything is told as it is.

"I see."

Ethus nodded: "Look at it like this, most of those people did something to Herder's body to lead to this result." ”

He didn't seem to pay much attention to Herder's affairs, but only asked a few questions.

"You're going to have to pay attention to it for the rest of the day."

He looked at Yadimu and said softly, "Judging from the situation in front of him, even this place of Hodd Academy can't stop those people's movements. ”

"If you stay with me, it will become more and more dangerous in the future."

"So from tomorrow onwards, you won't have to come again."

He looked at Artim in front of him and spoke.

Hearing this, Yadimu couldn't help but be surprised.

But before he could say anything, Aesius in front of him continued: "Elna. ”

He called out a man's name.

Then someone on the side gave him a response.

A dense shadow power spread from the side, attracting Yadimu's attention in an instant.

When Artimu's gaze looked forward, all he could see was the general outline of a woman.

This is supposed to be a tall woman, but because it is shrouded in shadows, it is impossible to see the specific form.

However, it is clear that this is the same man who attacked Ardimu before, and he is also a shadow warrior who has practiced the power of shadows.

However, compared to the previous man, the strength of the woman named Erna in front of her was obviously stronger, and the condensed shadow power made Yadimu's body subconsciously tense and felt a great pressure.

Purely from the feeling point of view, the strength of the woman in front of her is probably above that of Yadimu.

Has there always been such a master lurking around Aeus?

Looking at Erna in front of her, this thought flashed through Yadimu's heart, and it was not surprising.

After all, judging from the previous situation, Aeus came all the way to the kingdom of Hodd from afar, and in such a long journey, there must have been someone to protect him.

Otherwise, he would probably have died on the road, so how could he live well?

On the side, Erna was in the shadows, pulling out a golden stone.

The golden stone in her palm slowly bloomed with a golden brilliance, looking like a gem.

Artimus couldn't help but look sideways.

He was no stranger to this place, as he had previously obtained one.

It's called the Inheritance Stone, and it contains a lot of information.

"This is another inheritance stone that contains all the contents of the transformation ritual."

Looking at Artimus in front of him, Aeus spoke, "This is what I just made recently, you can take it." ”

"After this period of training, you have no problem thinking about the basics, and you don't need my teaching in the future."

"Let's go."

Erna stepped forward and handed the golden Inheritance Stone to Adim.

Then, Aeus smiled and said, "It's too dangerous to be around me, at least in the near future, you should be careful." ”

"After this period of time, it will naturally be fine."

Artimus took the Inheritance Stone, then looked at Aeus again, "I see. ”

"I can understand your thoughts, but I also want to say here that my previous promises are still valid."

"If you need anything, you can call me at any time."

His face was calm, and he said, "Although my strength is weak, I think I can help you a little. ”

Hearing this, Aesius couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, he reacted, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "Okay." ”

"Don't worry, Artimu."

He said, "If there is a need in the future, I don't need you to say anything, I will also take the initiative to come to you." ”

"If it comes to that time, please don't shirk it."

Aeus said with a smile.

In this room, the two made small talk for a moment.

The woman, Erna, remained silent the whole time, never uttering a word.

It wasn't until a moment later that Artimus left.

He left the room and headed out towards the outside world.

And in place, looking at the back of Artimus, Aesius sighed deeply.

In the past, no matter what the situation was, Aeus was extraordinarily calm and confident.

But now, for the first time since Artimus left, his face showed a sad look.

Outside, the surging sunlight shone in through the windowsill and shone on Aeus.

In the sunlight, Aesius's face looked unusually pale.

Slowly raised his hand, and there, a series of tiny wounds appeared, with a little blood on them.

Looking at it this way, although he did not tell his story directly, Aeus was obviously not easy.

He was also injured, but he didn't say it.

"Those who should come are coming."

Feeling the warm sunshine outside, he got up silently and looked out of the windowsill: "I just don't know how long I can stay in this place." ”

"Elna, maybe soon, we'll be leaving again."
