Chapter 68: Assassination

For me, my father died long ago along with my mother.

Al's words echoed in John's ears, making John's expressionless face harden even more.

At this time, Xiu Lan hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Al, and said in a low voice: "Al, what are you talking about, Old John, he went to join the army and escaped death, because of this family?"

Hearing Xiulan's words, Al smiled disdainfully, and said, "For this family? The home where the murderer who killed Grandpa Bader and Grandma Melissa is? The one who has harmed me many times, for fear that I will not die." The home where the person is?

Sorry, for me, your so-called home is not my home. My home is in the hunter's lodge at the foot of Snakeback Mountain. That's my home. As for the so-called Grant Manor, he left it to the vicious wife. "

Pursing his lips, John jumped off the horse, walked up to Al, and whispered, "Al, come home with me, and we can talk about other things later."

As he spoke, John reached out and wanted to grab Al's wrist and bring him to the horse.

However, just when John's palm was about to touch Al's wrist, Al swung his hand violently, throwing John's palm aside.

Al's subconscious action directly made the already solemn atmosphere even more heavy.

John, who was originally clumsy in speech, felt mixed feelings in his heart after seeing Al's action, including anger, sadness, and regret.

But John didn't have any expression on his face. He just stretched out his hand again with a stiff face, and grabbed Al's wrist. This time John added three points of force to his hand, and the speed increased even more.

Seeing John's palm grabbing over, Al responded immediately, turning one hand into a palm knife, and slashing directly on John's wrist.

It's just that John is a battle-tested man, and even a real blood knight.

As soon as Al's hand knife touched John's wrist, John changed the direction of his force, grabbed Al's wrist with his backhand, and stretched out his claws with the other hand, grabbing at Al's throat. come over.

However, as soon as the claw was pulled out, John said inwardly that he was not good.

John, who had just retired from the battlefield not long ago, hadn't adjusted his mentality yet. He was so excited by Al's action just now, and he showed his state on the battlefield again.

This claw John exerted seven points of strength, but it was really capable of killing people to death.

Seeing the strength of John's claws, Al's face flashed with surprise. He never thought that his cheap father would actually hit him hard!

The muscles on his body tensed instantly, and Al turned his left hand into a fist, and punched John's claw with a punch.

Claws and fists intersected, and there was a muffled sound immediately. The force of the shock caused John to loosen the palm holding Al's wrist, and then Al took three steps back, and John took a step back. .

Although it seems to be a tie, just looking at the steps of Al and John, you can know that John is better.

Looking at the astonished John, Al sighed, turned around and hugged Bader and Melissa's bodies.

In fact, Al knew very well that John was not what he said. In fact, John was very kind to him in his heart, but Al couldn't help but want to stimulate this strange and familiar man.

Al hugged the Bader couple's body, ignoring the gazes of the townspeople, and walked directly to his hunter's hut.

And after Al left, John looked at his right hand that was making a move with Al, and there was a long-lost smile on the corner of his mouth. Xiulan, who was very familiar with John, knew immediately when he saw this smile, and John's heart was full. Excitement.

This made Xiulan very puzzled, so he asked directly: "Old John, what are you laughing at?

Are you glad you're having a fight with Al? "

He shook his head slowly, nodded again, and then John said, "Xiu Lan, you should have seen the moment when Al and I confronted each other just now, right?

If just now, Al didn't have the strength of a high-level knight, it would be impossible for me to take a step back. That is to say, my eldest son has become a high-level knight in just a few years.

Although I don't know where Al got the idea of ​​meditation, but at Al's age, it is not difficult to become a blood knight, and it is even possible to go one step further. Tell me, should I be happy? ? "

Hearing John's words, Xiulan stared, and then said in disbelief: "You mean... Al is only sixteen years old, and he has already become a high-ranking knight? A high-ranking knight like me ?”

Nodding, John turned around, mounted his war horse and headed back in the direction of Grant Manor.

As for Xiulan, he followed John closely and rode his horse towards Grant Manor.

...

Sitting in front of a tomb behind the hunter's hut, Al looked calm in the setting sun.

All afternoon, Al was busy burying the Bader and his wife, and finally at sunset, Al buried the Bader and his wife in a simple manner.

When the sun had completely dipped below the horizon, Al stood up abruptly.

I saw that he took out the metal bow and quiver from the space bag at his waist and carried it on his back, and then took out the Yanzhuo Sword and put it in his waist. He was fully prepared.

Tonight, Al is going to hunt down Linda and Hu Bo. He is not equal, and he doesn't want Linda and Hu Bo to see the sun at sunrise tomorrow.

This is not only for Al himself, but also for the dead Bader couple!

Wearing a hunter's cloak, Al shuttled through the forest on the edge of Snakeback Mountain, silently like a cheetah in the forest.

Al decided to kill Hu Bo first. Although he didn't know where Hu Bo was, he knew very well that Linda, a woman who knew where Hu Bo was.

So as long as Al finds a way to get Linda to contact Hu Bo, Al can use this to find out where Hu Bo is!

When night fell completely, Al sneaked into Grant Manor smoothly.

Sneaking into the big house of the Grant Manor without any difficulty, Al touched the door of Linda's room step by step.

Secretly opened the door with a gap, Al saw a murderous intent flicker in the eyes of Linda who was sitting in the room with a tense expression, but Al soon endured it.

Slowly pulling out an arrow from the quiver, bending the bow and setting the arrow, Al shot directly at Linda in the room through the crack of the door.

The arrow passed through the crack of the door, pierced Linda's shoulder and nailed it to the wall behind Linda.

At this time, Linda's scream came from her mouth, her face was full of horror, as if she couldn't believe that Al came to Grant Manor to assassinate herself so openly.

Al looked at Linda through the crack of the door, and Linda looked at Al through the slowly opening door.

But seeing Al sneered, he said directly: "You are lucky to have escaped my arrow just now. Since I lost the opportunity, I will come back tomorrow. Of course, before that, I will take Hu Bo's head." Bring it to you, let your siblings die together!"

After the words fell, Al took a look at John and Xiulan who were coming, and Linda's son Ailan. They rushed directly to the window, smashed through the window and jumped down.

When John rushed to the window to find where Al was, he couldn't see half of Al at all.

However, John naturally didn't know that while he was constantly searching for Al, Al was actually hiding in the canopy of a tree in the Grant Manor, staring closely at Linda's body through the gaps between the branches and leaves. action.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally at midnight, Linda couldn't bear it and finally gave an order to the maid who followed her, asking her to inform Hu Bo to leave Linshan Town as soon as possible.

The maid was an old man who came from the merchant family where Linda belonged, so there was no question of her loyalty to Linda.

So when Linda gave the order, the maid acted immediately, put on her cloak and left Grant Manor in secret.

However, the maid didn't know that Al was following her closely not far behind her without making any sound.

Thirty minutes later, the maid came to the place where Hu Bo was hiding in a carriage.

This is a dilapidated dwelling on the edge of Linshan Town, where Hu Bo and his four subordinates lived.

At this time, they no longer had the arrogant arrogance in the distant mountain city before, and each of them was like a frightened bird, staying here with fear on their faces, as if they would faint because of fear anytime, anywhere.

The maid knocked on the door, which shocked Hu Bo and others. It was only when he saw that the person was his sister's maid that Hu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

However, before Hu Bo could relax completely, the maid's words made Hu Bo nervous again.

"Master Hu Bo, Miss asked me to tell you to leave Linshan Town as soon as possible, otherwise Al might find him. He just went to assassinate Miss, but it didn't work!

And according to the news the lady heard from the baron today, that guy Al has become a high-ranking knight, and he is not easy to deal with. "

Hearing the maid's words, Hu Bo's face turned pale again.

One must know that for ordinary civilians, high-ranking knights are undoubtedly already indomitable existences.

As for the more powerful blood knights, ordinary commoners regard them as myths and legends.

So when Hu Bo heard that Al had become a high knight, the fear in his heart had reached its peak.

Without further ado, Hu Bo immediately asked his subordinates to pack up their things, intending to leave Linshan Town as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, a voice that made Hu Bo almost pee his pants suddenly sounded outside the door.

"You don't need to pack your things, because you won't be able to take anything with you on Huangquan Road.

Hu Bo, here I come, are you ready to die? "
