Extra Story: The Unknown Assassin

"Rock, Rock, wake up."

The early morning screams woke me up and made me reluctantly get out of bed.

"What's wrong?"

I looked at the little fat man in front of me. He was my father's guard child, and his name was Weiner. Weiner is a very common name in the Western Region, just like the stones on the side of the road. Poor families dare not choose too strange names, so they often choose this name for their children.

As the name suggests, Weiner is very ordinary, except for being greedy and timid, he has basically no characteristics.

"Brother Roque, Lu Lin is being beaten by Toto. If he doesn't go... he will be beaten by Toto." It can be seen that he really wants to ask me for help, but he can't find any good excuse.

But there was no reason for this.

"Where is it, take me there." I got up and put on my shoes, then picked up the two short swords under the head of the bed and hung them around my waist, and walked out of the room quickly.

Lu Lin was a friend of Werner. He usually went to the kitchen of Baron Burris' house to steal food together. As a result, Werner ate a lot and Lu Lin was beaten a lot, but Lu Lin still regarded Werner as a good friend.

Because Weiner's father is Dad's subordinate, he also recognizes me as a big brother, and usually comes to please me. I occasionally help him, and he will praise him with tired and panic words, and then use my name and the town's Other peers bicker.

This time, it is estimated that he has provoked Toto again. His father is an important blacksmith in the baron's family, so he is not afraid of me, the child of the captain of the guard.

When I came to the small town street of dirt and gravel, there was a circle of people there. When I squeezed in, I saw Toto stepping on Lu Lin on the ground, and Lu Lin was still holding something. It was wrapped in cloth anyway. There is still oil in it.

I guess I went to Baron Burris' kitchen to steal it again. I shook my head, but I couldn't watch Toto continue to bully Lu Lin.

"Let him go." I yelled, frowning.

"Hehe, I knew you came back. Weiner always said that you covered him. If you don't come this time, it will be a loss of face."

The blacksmith's son was not the kind of person who would only make a fool of himself, and could see at a glance Weiner's careful thoughts behind me.

"Yes, what's wrong with me covering him? Move your feet away." I saw that Lu Lin's face was covered with shoe prints on the ground, and his mouth was stuffed with dirty soil. Dark injury.

"You can move it away. You have to go to Butler Deli to apologize, saying that you let the two of you steal things from the kitchen."

"It doesn't work." I refused outright.

What a joke, this way, with the sternness of Deli's housekeeper, not only will I be educated by my father, but it will even affect the image of our family in the heart of Baron Burris.

In our small town, most of the slightly better professions and businesses are related to Baron Burris, after all, this is his family fief.

"Then have a fight with me, but don't use weapons." He said defiantly.

"All right."

Soon, the two of us were surrounded by a group of people and came to an open space on the edge of the town and started fighting. The reason for using this word is that I think it is still too far from the standard of a duel. adult child.

The fight lasted for a few minutes and it was over, Toto was kicked to the ground by me and couldn't get up again, although in the end he tried to hit me with the hidden hoop of his finger, but he was easily dodged by me and tripped him several times.

After the fight, I left with Lu Lin and Weiner to a quiet place with few people, and then I asked about the process.

The result was not surprising. It was indeed Weiner who encouraged Lu Lin to go to the kitchen to get things, because he smelled the smell of kitchen smoke and thought that the baron's house would cook delicious food such as roast chicken today.

"Weina is so smart." Lu Lin rubbed his swollen face and opened the protective package in his hand with a smile. There was indeed half a roast chicken in it, but because of the reason just now, it had already been kneaded and fell apart.

Weiner drooled at the roast chicken, and then told Lu Lin that he was very hungry.

Lu Lin directly handed the roasted chicken that he managed to protect to Weiner, and the latter gnawed it directly.

After that, I said a few more words to the two of them and asked Weiner to go back first.

"Is Lulin okay?" I see he's been beaten a lot before.

"It's okay, I'll fight." He smirked.

"Huh." I let him sit down and undress him.

Looking at the body full of bruises, I was silent for a long time, and then asked some questions. Although Lu Lin didn't want to answer, he still said some of his feelings under my repeated and strong request.

"If you go on like this, I'm afraid you will make your sister sad." Lu Lin's parents were gone a long time ago, and his sister worked as a maid in the baron's mansion to make a living, while taking care of this younger brother.

"Don't tell my sister if it's okay or not. She works very hard, and I don't want to cause her trouble."

"Why are you helping Weiner steal things from the kitchen since you don't want to cause her trouble." I shook my head.

"I, I'm a good friend of Weiner, do something for a friend, as it should, and Weiner often goes hungry."

"No, I think he eats a lot better than you and is fatter than you."

"Besides, even if you treat Weiner as a friend, has he thought about it for you and gave you any good things?" I asked and pointed out the truth.

"But, but..." His voice dropped, speechless.

"I only have this friend."

Suddenly, I seemed to realize something, Roulin's status in the small town, and the environment he was in.

Not all commoner children have a father like me who can say a few words in front of the baron, and I and the baron's children are also familiar with each other and have a relationship with each other.

It's ok, so no adults will embarrass me.

Lu Lin is not very smart. He is often played by others. After being bullied, he has to look for his sister, but her sister is not that kind of beauty. She is just a low-level person in the baron's house. She can't help her brother and can only hold him and cry .

In this way, Lu Lin was no longer willing to tell his sister these things after more times.

Later, he had Weiner as a playmate, although because of Weiner, he was beaten more, not only children of the same age bullied him, but even the adults of the Baron House would beat him. However, he doesn't seem to hate Wiener, which is beyond my comprehension.

Although I feel sorry for Lu Lin, I didn't think clearly about the deep reason at that time, I just let him and Weiner have less contact.

It would have been nice if I had forcibly warned him that day and beat Weiner as well, which I often regret in the days to come.

Roulin died, the second month after that incident.

One day Weiner didn't find him, and he didn't care at first, but the next day, Sister Lulin said that he hadn't come back, so it attracted others' attention.

In the end, everyone found him under a hillside next to the town. It was not a very high hillside, but he guessed that because he escaped, he rolled down from it, turned several times and hit a tree trunk, and then triggered internal bleeding. Ben The weak body just passed away.

This is what the person who inspected the corpse said, and then opened his clothes, revealing a lot of bruises and scars, which means that he usually accumulated a lot of dark wounds.

The cause of death must be found out, not for the sake of justice, but because it is related to the safety of the Baron's Mansion.

After the incident, I was locked up by my father for a month, because it was my connivance that caused this kind of thing.

During this month of confinement, I thought about a lot of things, why Lu Lin wanted to play with Weiner, why even so, and why he didn't want to tell his sister about his injuries, if he was treated by a doctor, he still had a chance to recover.

The answers to these questions will be slowly clarified and understood in the days to come.

Perhaps for Lu Lin at that time, people like Weiner were the only light in his life.

For the children of noble families, they are well educated and cared for from birth, and can choose their own hobbies and plan a long life.

However, such a thing is extremely extravagant for children of ordinary families. Many babies do not live to be 2 years old, and those who can become adults and start a family are only half of them.

Children of commoners are like weeds on the side of the road. They are very common and easy to ignore. Even if no one educates them, they will gradually realize their status and situation.

Most of the weeds like myself will not live to adulthood and have no good future. As soon as they understand something, they have to help adults to work. Usually, they have to play wildly in their rare free time, because this is the only thing in life. entertainment.

If you don't play today, it will be too late to die tomorrow, which is too regrettable. That's probably the way of thinking.

Even if it seems unbelievable to outsiders, this is the real situation and thoughts of these children. Maybe they will not think so clearly, but do so with vague feelings.

It's an uncomfortable phenomenon, although I'm not that miserable, but walking on the streets of a small town and looking at people of my age, some are skinny, some are doing bad things just for those petty profits, or Depressed mood.

I know that they have all kinds of thoughts, far from the children in the baron's family, those children described in fairy tales, they are clever, compare, lazy, bully people who are weaker than themselves for fun, they start ranking at a young age and tell their stories. The adult's position in the Baron's Mansion.

Why not study and practice swordsmanship, if I tell them like this, I will definitely be regarded as a fool, because it is very painful and even cruel.

Without the imparting of knowledge, learning requires a huge cost. Without guidance, sword training will only be a waste of energy and time. Even if you know a few tricks, without a healthy and abundant body, it is still useless.

When I was young, I often wondered how to change all this, but I couldn't find a way. Finally, I found a temporary answer in the biography of the hero.

Just be a hero.

With the power of one person, changing the direction of the world, those legendary assassins are always desirable, I think this is the path that best fits my idea.

Although I made such a wish, it was not so strong. It was not until I was lucky enough to enter Emenas to study that this idea was slowly poured out.

After graduation, I went to many places, and everything was so disappointing that I slowly let go of this obsession and prepared to live an ordinary life.

But it still made me meet my boyhood opponent, a man named Tokolin, who exists like another me at the fork of fate. If I hadn't entered Emenas at that time, would I have walked up to him? the same way.

As a shadow under the light, I was destined not to go to a place with too many good people. After Tocorin died, I did not go to the south to find an organization with the same will as Tocorin, but began to cultivate my own system.

Although I was laughed at when I was young, I didn't expect that many years later, I really founded my own intelligence organization and assassin group, which has to be said to be a miracle of fate.

In the turmoil of the royal family, Darkmoon, the top assassin group of the empire, lost allegiance and fell into chaos. With the information I got from Edron, I finally found an opportunity to intervene.

Under my command and attack, the tightly guarded convoy of the Salius family was broken through by the Darkmoon Assassins I led, and the two princesses who changed the fate of the empire also appeared in front of me.

I can easily kill these two beautiful princesses, or I can choose to take them away and make them my puppets and bargaining chips.

As a gentle sister, Princess Tesslyn begged me to take Princess Aveline and prepare to kill herself in the carriage.

"No, you can't die yet." I restrained Princess Aveline, who was trying to struggle, with my hands, and looked calmly at the princess in white dress in front of me.

Even though I have met many members of the royal family, these two princesses are still special. They seem to have a lot of trust and love for each other and want to keep each other alive.

"Your existence will not make the Salius family give up hope completely, they will still be accommodating to maintain the name of the empire, because this is justifiable."

"And your respect, I can make Princess Aveline obtain the same value and status among the nobles of the East."

"I crave a lot of things, and it's not something that can be satisfied simply by killing or possessing a princess. If you die here, I won't let Aveline live easily. Maybe she will suffer a lot of terrible things in the future. ."

"If you still want to protect your sister as an elder sister, then just live a good life. Even the queen of the vase is a deterrent, so that I will not easily give up the equivalent value of the chips in my hand."

Tesslyn took a deep breath before gradually calming down.

"I understand your request."

After that, I took Aveline and negotiated with the Landsworth family to put this princess on the queen's throne as well.

Now, I am one step closer to what I once thought.
