14. Assassination
The little girl was very proud, forgetting her previous dissatisfaction with Wang Qinian, and deliberately said with dissatisfaction: "Uncle, you are so old, how can you be my student?"
"Those who are good are teachers, not that those who are older become teachers. Wang Qinian said that he was not embarrassed, he did not have a beginner in swordsmanship, and he couldn't pretend to be a ranger without a little real ability.
"Andrea, don't mess around, Mr. Wang, let's talk while we eat. Robin said, breakfast was coming up.
Wang Qinian nodded, he recalled Andrea's words just now in his heart, and decided to add factors such as improving the method in the swordsmanship from now on.
The cook brought bread and other things, and everyone was not particular about it, so they ate it, and Wang Qinian asked: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't ask, but I still can't suppress my curiosity, you are not in the Yingji Forest, how did you come here, and you will not kidnap Franklin?"
"Of course not, kidnapping him is just by the way, in his family, but some people don't like him and pay for it. We came here for one thing, and we were taken away by the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Regiment. Robin said.
Wang Qinian felt that Robin's words were not all, he didn't have much to do, but asked curiously: "Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group?" Wang Qinian didn't know that the first wave of people he killed was the people of the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group.
"The Wolf Tooth Mercenary Regiment is a mercenary hired by Count Edward, it is said that there is a necromancer among them, although it is a low-level Wizard, the combat effectiveness is very strong, it seems to be called Bunifah, I don't know how the Wizard was mixed like this, as a result, Edward was defeated by Count Lane, and the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Regiment went deep into the enemy territory, entered the Leah Demon Forest, and did not know where to go. Robin said, seeing that the three of Franklin were not far away, also eating breakfast, with a slight smile in his eyes, he didn't know that this also fell into Wang Qinian's eyes.
Wang Qinian glanced at Franklin slightly, and then looked at Robin, and realized a little in his heart, it seems that Robin's purpose of coming to Leahmolin is not as simple as he said.
However, Wang Qinian was interested in the Wolf Tooth Mercenary Group, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that the things in the ring he got were not special.
After breakfast, after resting for a while, Wang Qinian drew out the sword and began to practice swords, lunges, virtual steps, left and right servant steps and sliding steps, with his stabbing sword, the action was very awkward, Wang Qinian practiced over and over again, Andrea couldn't stand it anymore, walked to the front, corrected his movements, Wang Qinian felt a lot smoother under Andrea's correction.
He practiced over and over again, and he never got tired of it, Wang Qinian spent most of his time practicing swords in front of people, but when he was resting, he closed his eyes and meditated, his crazy practice was a bit of a martial idiot, and no one thought that he was actually a lich.
When Wang Qinian was practicing swords, Franklin's face was gloomy, he heard Robin's words at breakfast, someone in the family actually betrayed him, he originally doubted, how did Robin come here, and know his name, who could it be?
He also got a piece of news, the wolf tooth mercenary group has a thing, I don't know what it is, Baron Edmund belongs to the line of Earl Lane, in that war, they won, but they didn't know the news, and accidentally got the news, he wanted to go back immediately, however, he was a prisoner and had no freedom.
He didn't think deeply, Robin didn't seem to have any intention of revealing the news, was it really unintentional?
Three days have passed in the camp in a blink of an eye, Wang Qinian is not in a hurry, he has been practicing his sword all his heart, over and over again, as if he doesn't know tiredness, in fact, he doesn't know tiredness either, and gradually feels the benefits, his swordsmanship is still based on stabs, but gradually integrated with footwork, and he feels that he is much stronger than before, in terms of swordsmanship.
Robin was very surprised, Wang Qinian's progress was too fast, but it was not surprising to see that Wang Qinian was immersed in swordsmanship practice almost in addition to eating and sleeping, Wang Qinian was so good, he could endure loneliness, he was lying on the hospital bed in his previous life, and he was also used to loneliness.
Robin is a knight, he knows that these swordsmanship is just the foundation, and he can follow the knights, but no one can practice as hard as Wang Qinian, and sighed in his heart, but he will not teach further knightly skills to Wang Qinian, a ranger, and can magic, practice these things, probably for self-defense, these are enough.
If a magician does not enter the legend, he generally needs a knight to protect him, and it takes time to chant a spell, which is enough for a knight to kill him a few times, but it is different when he enters the legend, not only is the magic instantaneous, but the body is also in a state of teleportation at any time, and it is more difficult to kill him.
Robin gave Andrea a few words, and Andrea also wanted to go with him, but he persuaded her, and disappeared into the forest with a group of people.
Although Wang Qinian didn't hear what Robin said to Andrea, he understood what was going on, and he didn't pursue it, and he secretly paid attention.
After another half a day, the rest of the camp got up, wrapped everything on horseback, and abandoned the village, and of course Franklin was also held hostage by them, turning left and right in the woods, and inadvertently, came to the place where he had been a few days ago.
When Andrea arrived, she stopped, and a soldier came on a flying horse and whispered a few words to Andrea, and Wang Qinian vaguely heard that it was done.
Andrea turned around and said a few words to the person next to her, and the person next to her brought four horses, Wang Qinian saw that it was Franklin's horse, and understood in his heart, it seems that Baron Edmund should have paid the ransom.
Sure enough, Andrea said, "Let's go, uncle, I'm going to miss you as a student!" After saying that, she giggled and waved her hand: "Let's go!"
The horses' hooves flew and disappeared into the depths of the jungle like a whirlwind, leaving behind four men to look at the distant riders.
Wang Qinian smiled slightly, learning Andrea's turn on the horse, he had never ridden a horse, but his predecessor Nickles Andrew had ridden a horse, and he still had memories, and his body was a little unable to keep up.
Franklin was a little surprised that the Edmund family actually paid the ransom, which was not like what they did, but Andrea didn't make it clear, anyway, she was out of danger.
The three of them also turned over and got on their horses, and Franklin said to Wang Qinian: "Sir, you and I have a tribulation, why don't you go to my territory and sit down?"
When Wang Qinian saw his invitation, he happened to want to understand the world, so he agreed.
The four horses went south, and as soon as they had gone a short distance, they saw a group of soldiers, and Raymond was overjoyed when he saw the soldiers, and waved and shouted on his horse: "Here we are." ”
"It's the young master, the young master is back. There was a commotion among the soldiers, and they soon ran towards the four, apparently the soldiers of the baron's family, when a bowstring sounded, and an arrow shot out of the woods and headed straight for Franklin.
The direction of the arrow shot out from the direction of Wang Qinian, not aimed at Wang Qinian, but Wang Qinian didn't think about it at all, so he pulled out the arrow with a cane, and then remembered what was going on, and at this time Raymond also woke up: "There are assassins, protect the young master!"
Betsy took out her wand, pointed at it, chanted a spell in her mouth, and shouted: "Wind Blade!" There was a chirping sound in the air, and the faint blue wind blade appeared and flew away.
A figure on the tree flashed, let go of the wind blade, knowing that the assassination failed, turned over and jumped off the tree, the wind blade snatched, cut into the trunk, he got off the tree, turned around and fled, Wang Qinian chanted softly, pointed with his hand, and said: "Wind binding technique!"
His body stiffened, bound by the wind, and at that moment, a horse stood out, his hooves thundered, and the great sword in his hand burst into a fiery red light, heading straight for the assassin.
Raymond shouted, "Keep your mouth alive!" It was too late, and the fiery red light flashed, and the blood rain rushed out, and the assassin's body was broken in two diagonally.
Franklin's face changed: "Cousin, you are too anxious. ”
He turned around and said to Wang Qinian, "Thank you, Mr. Wang." ”
Wang Qinian looked at his cousin and smiled slightly: "Don't thank me, this hero is very skilled, may I ask the name?"
"My cousin Friedrich, a knight, and this is my friend's King, a ranger. Franklin introduced that Wang Qinian looked at Friedrich carefully, he was very tall, relatively thin, and his eyes flashed with shrewdness, not a simple look.
"If these untouchables want to assassinate the nobles, kill them, cousin, how did you escape?" asked Friedrich.
Franklin frowned, "Didn't you pay the ransom?"
"Thirty thousand gold coins, my brother-in-law will not pay, we are mobilizing manpower to prepare for a decisive battle with the robbers, we are the vanguard, you didn't say how you got out of danger?" said Friedrich.
Franklin didn't answer, he fell into deep thought, Betsy and Raymond glanced at each other, and Friedrich hoped for Becky, with a covetous look in his eyes, Wang Qinian saw this scene on the side, frowned slightly, he is now a lich, he is powerless, Betsy is a beautiful girl, but she is still a child, very young, Wang Qinian knows that some nobles like this mouthful, it seems that this Friedrich is an example.
Among the aristocracy, this kind of thing was common, and Betsy saw Friedrich's gaze, hated it, and twisted her face to the other side.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then we'll go back. After Friedrich said this, he turned his eyes slightly, glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and his eyes showed a look of disgust.
Franklin nodded and said to Wang Qinian, "Mr. Wang, let's go!" Everyone surrounded the four of them, Wang Qinian turned around, looked at the forest, and didn't know what happened to Robin, according to Friedrich, they didn't pay the ransom, how could they let them go?
This is not right, Robin would not have done this at all in the legend, is there anything else he does not know, Friedrich said: "Uncle brought his own men here, and he swore not to look back until he destroyed this bandit." ”
Wang Qinian was shocked and asked, "You mean Baron Edmund came in person?"
"Not bad!"
"Then isn't the town empty?" Wang Qinian asked again, and in a word, Franklin's face changed greatly.
