After experiencing another assassination attempt, Jenne and Keane both completely understood how dangerous a trip to Cerre City was. They risk dying at all times. Unknowingly, the two turned towards Linley.
"Sister Ley, what should we do in the future?" Jenne looked at Linley as she asked this question, her heart filled with worry.
Right now, neither Keane nor Jenne felt as if they were lost in the boundless fog, unable to see the future. They don't know what will happen if they survive.
Seeing the pair of innocent brothers, Linley comforted them, "Don't worry. I am confident in my ability to deal with acting city governors of prefectural cities. ”
Currently, Linley had reached the eighth rank, and was a peak level fighter of the ninth rank when Dragonformed. Blackcloud Panther, Haeru, was also a peak-level magical beast of the ninth rank, and Bebe's strength was not inferior to Linley and Haeru as well.
If this man and these two magical beasts attacked together, if no Saint level fighter appeared, no matter how many people came, they would not be able to stop these three.
Hearing Linley's words, Jenne and Keane couldn't help but start worshipping Linley.
Although until now, the two of them still had no idea how powerful Linley really was, in their eyes, Linley was an extraordinary and mysterious individual. As for Lambert, after seeing all this, he felt grateful as well. As long as Jenne and Keane can live a safe life, she will be happy even if she has to die. For such an expert to be willing to help these two siblings in the countryside without fighting about anything else was more than enough for this old servant to be filled with gratitude.
"Kneak!" "Kneak!" "Kneak!"
The sound of knocking could be heard from outside.
"I'll get it . "Lambert chuckles. “Maybe the waiters brought breakfast. ”
“Come get ready to eat. "Linley laughed as she led Jenne and Keane into the living room. Lambert opened the gate to their residence, and two officers pushed two food-laden trolleys in.
“Send this to the living room. "Lambert chuckled as he instructed them.
"Yes sir . ”The two officers were very meek as they each pushed the trolley inside. But when they moved, they glanced at each other, a hint of determination in their eyes.
In this assassination attempt, regardless of whether they would succeed or not, they would definitely die.
They knew that Linley, a powerful expert, was still around. Neither Linley nor his black panther could easily kill them.
…
Inside the living room, Linley sat at the end of the table. Jenne and Keane sat on the side. The two officers smiled weakly as they pushed the cart into the room.
"Master, miss, where should we put this whole roasted lamb?" The officer opened one of the petals.
“Put them there. "Linley pointed at the stone floor near the table. Blackcloud Panther, Haeru, was resting next to that table. Smelling the scent of roast meat, he raised his head.
For Haeru, the entire roasted lamb was nothing more than a light breakfast.
"Yes sir . ”The officer very obediently placed the large tray covered in sheep onto the floor. Bebe immediately ran over as well. With the friction of his sharp claws, he snatched away one of the roasted lamb legs.
Haeru looked at Bebe, and then he also left and started biting on the big piece of roasted lamb.
"Sir, please enjoy. "Officers placed the tray in front of Linley, and then put another tray in front of Jenne.
At the same time, the other officers were putting a tray in front of Keane.
Currently …
The two maids were on each side of Keane. Keane was completely unsuspecting, and happily picked up his knife and fork as he prepared to enjoy this sumptuous meal.
The two servants exchanged looks. As if they were physically connected, they suddenly reached out at the same time towards Keane. Their four hands were formed into claws, piercing Keane's chest, head, and throat.
Four hands attacked at once!
Ordinary warriors of rank five and six could smash rocks with a single blow. Even warriors of the fourth rank could destroy thick wooden boards.
The key points of a weak child like Keane might not be able to withstand a single blow, whether it was on his head, chest, or throat.
They're too close.
The two officers were too close to Keane, and they also attacked from too close. At such a close distance, even a warrior of the eighth rank would not be able to react before Keane was dead.
Linley snorted coldly.
A dazzling violet light suddenly flashed, then disappeared. An ear-piercing scream could be heard as the four limbs of the two officers fell to the floor.
"A !!" Jenne was so scared that she jumped to her feet.
"Young master!" Only now did Lambert realize what had almost happened. He angrily kicked two officers against the wall, causing the wall to tremble.
The two servants groaned in pain. They just exchanged glances, desperate in their eyes.
"You .. how ..." One of them looked at Linley in disbelief.
They were less than half a meter from Keane. Even though they were only fighters of the fourth rank, within such a close distance, they did not even need more than an instant to kill Keane.
In such a short amount of time, even an expert should not be able to react fast enough.
But not only did Linley manage to react, he was able to cut off all of their arms.
"Surprised as to why I could react in time?" Linley looked calmly at the two of them. "How does an ordinary officer have an arm like yours?"
They both looked at their severed arms.
The people under the command of the red-haired man were all elite archers. As elite archers, they often practiced, causing the veins and muscles in their arms to bulge.
The two officers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with despair.
Moreover, their arm sockets were constantly leaking blood. Soon, both of them would definitely bleed to death. But they knew ... After failing their mission, even if Linley saved them, the captain and Madame Wade would not let them.
“Do not care about them. We're leaving now. "Linley stood.
"No . ”
Linley shook his head. “Be careful with the food you eat in the future. I suspect all of these foods are poisonous. ”
"Toxicity?" Keane saw the food on his plate, terrified.
"Squeak!" To the side, Bebe suddenly started squeaking at Linley. Looking at Bebe, Linley could not help but start laughing.
“Yes, yes, you are not afraid of poison. All righty? "Said Linley resignedly.
Beasts and humans are very different, biologically speaking. Many magical beasts contained poisonous parts and sacs within their bodies. The poison that humans feared, they might not be afraid at all. The stronger the magical beasts were, the stronger their natural immune system was. In addition, because wild animals generally live in pristine and untouched forests, they often interact with various natural poisons from a young age. Thus, one generation after another, the resistance of a savage beast to poison would increase.
……
Linley's group left the hotel early in the morning. The red-haired man watched this group of Linley depart from afar, his face extremely ugly to look at.
"Ley?" The red-haired man muttered. “Where did such a powerful expert come from? And why would she have to travel with two siblings who grew up in this countryside? ”
The red-haired man was very unhappy.
The mission to kill Keane and Jenne was originally quite simple. The old servant, Lambert, was not strong enough to do anything. But this originally simple mission suddenly becomes extremely difficult when the mysterious expert gets involved.
"Nothing for that. I have to report to the Madam. "Knowing how strong Linley was, the red-haired man did not dare to take any more risks.
……
As the most militarily powerful empire of the Four Great Imperial Clans, the O'Brien Empire had a very thorough communication system supported mainly by a special communication corps that used Bluewind Hawks.
Every single prefecture city in the O'Brien Empire had quite a number of Bluewind Hawks controlled by the communications corps themselves. Bluewind Hawks are very smart. They recognize the road and, under the orders of their owners, can carry mail to any place.
But only the clan that governed the O'Brien Empire had the authority to use these Bluewind Hawks. Most commoners, and even most nobles, did not have that authority. And of course, the army has a stand-alone communication system.
While carrying the seal of the prefectural city governor of Cerre city, the red-haired man asked Blackrock City to send Bluewind Hawk towards the city of Cerre.
…
Flying in a straight line in the air is much faster than running on the road. Not long after Linley's group had left Blackrock City, Bluewind Hawk arrived at Cerre.
Prefectural city of Cerre. It's a pretty big city.
In the Northwest Administrative Province, it was one of the top ten cities. At this moment, inside the castle reserved for the city governor, the atmosphere was extremely dark and extremely sinister.
The lord of this castle is Lady Wade! Cold, gloomy, arrogant people.
"Mbak ma'am!"
Two middle-aged men ran to the flower garden behind. At this moment, Madam Wade was enjoying the sunlight while being cared for by the two serving women.
"What's wrong, my two dear brothers?" Madame Wade raised her head as she looked at the two men.
“Kak, this is a letter that just came by courier. This mission failed. "Say the two men were slightly fatter.
"Failed? How could Kerde [Ke'de] be so useless? ”Monya Wade took over the letter. After reading it, he began to frown, confused. "A mysterious expert who has a black panther as a friend of a beast?"
As the red-haired man Kerde said, that the black beetle was at least a level eight ferocious beast, and the mysterious expert was at least a warrior of rank eight, and perhaps even a ninth.
Madam Wade suddenly felt that the letter was very heavy.
"Sister, what should we do?" Asked Mrs Wade's eldest brother, the fat man, asking. Second sister Madame Wade also looked at him expectantly.
Madame Wade frowned when considering the matter.
“Two of my brothers, please request the services of Apothecary Holmer [Huo'er'mo]. "Mrs Wade said calmly.
"Holmer? That weird old man? ”The two immediately shouted in shock.
Madame Wade said coldly, "According to Kerde's investigation, this mysterious 'Ley' man was at least a warrior of the eighth rank, perhaps even of the ninth rank. I don't have the ability to kill a fighter of rank nine face-to-face. It's best to have Pharmacist Holmer take care of this affair. After all, Apothecary Holmer had killed a warrior of the ninth rank before. ”
"But Holmer ..." Oldest sister Lady Wade was also hesitant.
"Hmphs. If you both keep acting like this, you will never achieve anything. Even if I kill Keane, if the two of you act like this, do you think you would be suitable to become the city governor? ”Monya Wade cold snorting.
"Good, Brother. We'll talk to Apothecary Holmer now! ”Two older brothers Madame Wade submissive to her.
… .
'Apothecary Holmer' is the designation Holmer himself gave.
Others view Holmer as a murderer, but Holmer views himself as a Pharmacist.
And indeed, Holmer's ability to preserve life is quite high. Holmer's been almost three hundred years now. For a warrior of the sixth rank to live for nearly three hundred years was almost impossible, but Holmer had done so. What's more, Holmer looked as if he was in pretty good shape. This was because Holmer often used various strange herbs, which allowed his three hundred year old body to be as strong and healthy as the body of a young man.
"Huh. Madame Wade is quite generous. This business transaction .. I accept, I accept. "Holmer stroked his beard which was beginning to whiten, laughing happily.
In front of Holmer, Mrs Wade's two brothers were still a bit nervous.
“Homer pharmacist, it would be better if you act fast. ”The oldest sister of Mrs Wade urges. “Our people will deliver you to your target. ”
“Haha, first give me a down payment. I'll be gone soon after that. "Holmer laughed loudly.
"Face?" The two brothers looked at each other.
In the prefectural city of Cerre, the two of them had never been treated like this before. But after knowing a little about Holmer, the two brothers did not dare to irritate this old 'Apoteker. Once this old man got angry, no one knew how many people would die as a result.
