427 Career change
The rain has not stopped, and the streets are sparsely populated.
Under the tarpaulin umbrella, the two walked side by side, the man was handsome and straight, the woman was handsome and beautiful, looking like a pair of beautiful people, but their faces were a little unnatural.
Illo had to bring back the drunken Allegri, so the task of receiving Alex fell naturally to Dargnan. If it was in the past, he would naturally not be able to ask for it, but at this moment, there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and he couldn't even squeeze out a greeting.
Anger, jealousy, seems to be mixed with a little embarrassment, in short, sour and astringent, like a wild fruit with flowers and leaves, it has its shape in vain, and it is rare to have a true taste.
"Where are we going?" Alex held back for a long time, and finally took the initiative to speak, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Hearing this, Dargnan couldn't help but be stunned, only to realize that the two had been wandering around the town aimlessly. He coughed lowly, hiding his gaffe, and asked rhetorically, "This...... Where do you want to go?"
"It's the first time I've been here, how do I know where I'm going?" Alex shook her head helplessly, her little brother had always been sharp and alert, but now she had become stunned, like a nerd.
"By the way, eldest sister, you suddenly came to the river valley...... Why?" Once the silence was broken, Dargnan spoke more. This was his primary concern, so he immediately asked.
His expression was calm, and he asked worriedly.
"Because of this," Alex explained as he took out the half-severed blade and shook it in front of him, "I met Illo in Anfen and found that he actually had 'Night' on him, so I wanted to make a deal with him and get it back. But he opened his mouth and asked too much, so I took part of the honorarium from the office and rushed here again......"
"I see. The more Dargnan listened, the more his face softened, and he thought that Alex and Illo. There was something further to do before I came to the river valley without informing myself.
It's really the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and subconsciously lowered his head.
"Now that the things are in hand, it's time for me to go," Alex breathed a sigh of relief. "In which direction is the station?"
At this time, it was getting late and raining, and Dargnan hesitated for a moment, then dissuaded, "This rain will not stop for a while, so it is better for you to stay in the town." It's not too late to wait until it's clear. ”
"Where do I live? I'm not a magician, so I can't get free services. Alex spent the morning tossing and turning in the halls of the office. The announcements hanging on the walls are very familiar, and they are even more familiar with the rules in the valley than in Dalgnan.
"Why don't you stay with me?" said Dargnan cautiously, for he didn't think anything of it, but simply wanted it. Re-close the distance between the two.
"No, they know who I am," Alex frowned slightly, politely refusing, "get too close to me." Others will suspect you. ”
Overall, her excuse is quite reasonable. In recent years, it is precisely for such a valid reason that she has gradually distanced herself from Dalgnan. For example, on the grounds that he was an adult, he was kicked out of his residence, and then he used the opportunity to go out to carry out the commission and avoided him.
"Whatever," replied Dargnan with a little impulsiveness, looking sideways at her, "Anyway, the 'night' is already in hand, and there is no point in me staying here, so I'll just leave with you." ”
"Don't, you stay here, try to get on good terms with Allegri, and don't reveal your identity for the time being. Alex glanced around and commanded softly.
"Yes," Dargnon replied subconsciously, just like he had unconditionally carried out one of her orders before, but after careful consideration, he still asked rarely, "Can ...... Why?"
"We, it's impossible to be killers for the rest of our lives," Alex paused, his expression a little depressed, "Have you ever thought about what will happen when you can't even hold a knife when you're old?"
"Didn't think about it. Dargnan shook his head honestly, he hadn't been in the business for a long time, and he hadn't gotten tired of it yet. Besides, he doesn't know what else he can do other than being a killer.
"Speaking of which, it's also my fault, if it weren't for the fact that you wouldn't have been able to walk this path," Alex's low sigh was faintly heard in the drizzle, "I have nothing else to teach you, so that you don't even have a choice." ”
"Big sister ......" Dargnon stood stunned, not knowing what to say, he had never seen such a depressed appearance in Alex in all the past hours.
"You're not like me, and you're not like a lot of killers," Alex reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "We came into the business with hatred, with an obsession to support ourselves to keep killing, and even willing to do it for the sake of it...... But you still have the possibility of going back and living another life. ”
Dargnon stared at the rain that slipped from the edge of the umbrella, something he had never considered, and now, did Alex want to completely cut off the last connection between the two?
"There aren't many ways out for the killers, except for a very few lucky ones who can stay in the organization like Zola, and most of them die in endless missions," Alex sighed again and continued, "Even if you leave the organization and join those princes and dukes, you will only change employers and continue to be the blades in their hands......"
"Yes. Dargnan nodded, in the killer world, there are only 12 out of 10 people who can get a good death.
"But you're not deep yet, and you have a good ......chance right now," Alex said slowly, staring at him, "and from what I've observed, Allegri seems to be quite serious about you...... Why don't you continue to live as an apprentice of magic, 'Ados', and let the killer Dargnon disappear from the world completely?"
"The organization, I don't think you will agree, right?" Dargnan was taken aback by her idea, and the attitude of "Wolf Poison Flower" towards defectors was extremely cold.
"I'll take care of the organization," Alex said as if he had made up his mind, raising his eyebrows, "As for the river valley side, Allegri can even accommodate that robber leader, and even if he knows your true identity, he won't overreact." ”
"That'...... What about you?" Dargnan does not reject a different way of life, but he has a precondition that he will never compromise. (To be continued......)
