Chapter 970: Sad Past (3)
The two chatted all night, and at dawn, when Aunt Sophie left with a tired face, the feminine man put on the coarse cotton jacket that the aunt had prepared for him, walked out of the grass hut against the wind and snow, and wandered aimlessly on the street.
The feminine man is not aimless, as he walks in every dark corner, he will take off his hat and reveal his dark elf appearance, in order to find those who are hiding in the shadows.
After more than ten days, the feminine man finally found a member of his clan in a remote corner and was taken to the dark elf's residence here.
It was an abandoned mine on a barren hill outside the city, and a dozen dark elves lived in it, and they were the predecessors who gave up their dignity to walk in the darkness for the sake of their people. The feminine man didn't talk nonsense and directly asked to join, but those clansmen who had blood on their hands did not agree, because they didn't want more clansmen to become like them and could only live in the dark.
However, when those dark elves heard the experience of the feminine man and the reason why they wanted to join them, they became silent, they have been in the human world for many years, and they have seen many kind people, but this is the first time that they have heard that there are humans who actually help their people regardless of being spurned by others, so they have a good impression of Aunt Sophie, a human being, and they have expressed their willingness to help and kill those shameless and vicious hooligans.
The feminine man did not accept the kindness of the clansmen, and insisted on avenging Aunt Sophie with his own hands, and his tone was very resolute. The dark elves didn't say much, and they didn't let the young feminine men into the gang, but they agreed to teach the feminine male martial arts.
Back at the hut, the feminine man was in a good mood, so he cleared the snow in the courtyard, filled the water tank, cut a lot of firewood, lit the stove, and made some vegetarian soup. Waiting for Aunt Sophie to come back.
During the day, after Aunt Sophie went out to work, the feminine man went to the clan gathering place outside the city, while learning martial arts and fighting spirit, while helping the clan do what he could, such as washing clothes, cooking, running errands and buying some wine and meat, etc., after earning some remuneration, he would go to the market to buy some food, and wait for the aunt to come back after returning to the hut.
So. The feminine man has lived in Aunt Sophie's house for five years, and the relationship between the feminine man and Aunt Sophie is getting deeper and deeper, Sophie treats the feminine man as her own son, and the feminine man also treats her mother like her own mother, although the two live a hard life together, but the smiles on their faces are much more than before.
On a rainy summer night, Aunt Sophie came home from work, smiling and touching the wages of a few silver coins in her pocket, intending to tell the feminine man a good news. They finally had enough money to buy a house of their own.
However, when Aunt Sophie pushed open the door with excitement on her face, she did not see the figure that waited for her to come back every day, and the tattered wooden table that had been repaired many times. There was a note full of handwriting.
When Sophie saw this, the smile on her face disappeared, she had realized something, and she collapsed weakly in the doorway. Looking at the note on the table from a distance, two lines of reluctant tears flowed.
Yes, the feminine man left. Because he has reached the level of an intermediate assassin, he found the dozen hooligans who robbed Aunt Sophie's gold coins this afternoon, and killed them in public, but after all, the feminine man is the first time to kill people, and there are many good hands among those hooligans, although they were not injured multiple times, but they leaked their identities and appearances. The feminine man didn't want to implicate Aunt Sophie, so he left a note and some savings over the years and left, avoiding the arrest and pursuit of the security team.
After the feminine man left, he first went back to the clan to visit his mother and told her that he had another mother. After listening to the experience of the feminine man over the years, the feminine man's mother did not blame him for killing people, but praised him for doing the right thing, and did not object to his decision to go back and secretly protect another mother, and took out a book from the dusty box under the bed and handed it to the feminine man, telling him that it was a fighting qigong method left by his father, and asked him to practice hard to protect the person he wanted to protect.
For leaving his biological mother to protect Sophie's mother, the feminine man didn't feel anything, because the elf's life is long, and when Sophie dies, he will not delay anything in returning to his mother's side to do his filial piety, so in his mother's gaze, the feminine man left the ground again with his inner persistence and mother's hope, and returned to the city where Sophie's aunt is located, but he did not show up, but silently guarded his mother's surroundings.
Another three years have passed, and Aunt Sophie is getting older and thinner, but she no longer has to make a flexible living like before, because she opened a grocery store with the gold coins left by the feminine man according to the request of the feminine man, and with the secret help of the feminine man, the business of the small shop is getting better and better, and she no longer has to worry about filling her stomach.
However, Sophie never moved, still living in that small grass house, and would sit at the door in a daze whenever she was free, or secretly cry when she looked at the yellowed note in the middle of the night.
It's not that the feminine man doesn't want to see Sophie, but since the last time he unscrupulously killed a dozen hooligans on the street, the various races of this generation have become more and more hostile to the dark elves, as long as they see the dark elves, they will definitely arrest or kill, and the feminine man doesn't want to involve Sophie, so he can only guard in secret, and then silently work hard to cultivate, improve his strength as soon as possible, and think that when he has the ability, he will leave with Sophie's mother and go to a better place to start a new life.
The exercises left by the feminine man's father are very special and very powerful, the feminine man has only practiced for three years, plus the previous foundation, he has actually broken through to the advanced assassin and is not far from the next breakthrough, the feminine man is very confident that he will advance to two levels within three years and become an assassin at the level of a sword master, at that time, even if he swaggers into the city, those nobles in the city will not dare to do anything with him, because the feminine man and them are no longer on the same level.
And that's exactly what happened, three years later, the feminine man managed to break through and become a real high-level assassin, but he didn't kill many people, and he didn't do those hurtful things like other people.
However, just as the feminine man walked down the barren mountain with excitement on his face and entered the city, ready to surprise Sophie, he saw Aunt Sophie's grocery store in a mess, but he couldn't find Aunt Sophie. (To be continued......)
