Chapter 1054 Answer

I chatted with the two assassins one after another. While chatting, I asked them what they thought of me.

The assassin in front said: "A powerful adventurer, and very mysterious."

I wondered: "Where is the mystery?"

The two of them kept silent.

I shrugged: "Since I don't want to talk about it, let's change the topic. Are you very fairies?"

The assassin in front was silent, and the assassin in the back said: "I don't hate it."

I asked again: "Does your master hate goblins?"

"I don't know" said the assassin behind him.

"I guess, he hates it, not only hates it, but also hates it to the point of eating flesh and drinking blood."

"It's wrong for you to speculate on my lord's thoughts like this," the assassin in front said with a serious face.

"Isn't this just a wild guess?" I tilted my head: "If he didn't hate that much, how could he order the genocide of the goblins?"

The assassin in front said nothing, but the assassin behind said: "Maybe, maybe, my lord has other intentions."

I waved my hand to interrupt him: "Forget it, let's not excuse what has happened. If the goblins hadn't escaped so quickly, they might have been exterminated."

The conversation stopped here, and no one continued to talk.

When we were almost home, the two of them put their bags on the ground. I asked them if they wanted to go in for a cup of tea and have a rest.

However, they were rejected by both of them.

Before entering the house, the assassin in front suddenly stopped me and whispered: "Today may be our last meeting. There is something that must be explained."

I nodded and said, "You tell me."

He said: "I have followed my lord since he was a child, and it has been more than thirty years since my lord was born. Although my lord has a violent temper, cruelty and arrogance, he is not to the level of 'stupid', but I have to say that killing goblins This order is the stupidest order I have seen in many years, and the person who gave this order is not like my Lord."

I tilted my head and asked him: "You said he doesn't look like your master. Could it be that he is a puppet or a substitute?"

"No, although it feels different, that is indeed my Lord, but again." At this point, the assassin in front shook his head, sighed, and said: "In short, this is all I want to tell you. Although you and I are enemies, , but it was a pleasant conversation, take care.”

Watching the two figures disappear into the night, I murmured: "Enemies? Maybe, there are only two of you, your Lord and me."

Going home with a big bag full of white fish is naturally very satisfying.

Barbara couldn't suppress the excitement on her face, but she still hummed arrogantly: "Do it, you did a good job!"

I'm happy.

Seeing that Bai Yu was back, Princess Analetta forced her weak body to crawl out of bed. Her eyes were bright and colorful: "Quick, I want to eat grilled food."

In order to allow the little princess to eat in peace, I had no choice but to set up an oven in the yard late at night.

The sparks crackled and the smoke continued, and my thoughts continued: after more than thirty years of following, no matter who it was, they must have already understood each other. He said that the person who gave the order to kill the goblins was not like his master, but he was indeed Lord, is he hinting at me?

If it was a hint, what exactly did he mean?

Not like his master, but indeed his master. Not like his master, indeed.

As I was saying this over and over again, I suddenly heard a scream in my ear: "Hey, Xiaoyi, what are you doing!"

Subconsciously, I turned my head and saw Barbara with a worried expression on her face. She kept pointing in front of me with her index finger and almost rushed towards me.

Looking down with my finger, I discovered that the white fish was already fully cooked and moving towards being burnt.

"Oops, I got distracted!" I yelled, hurriedly removed the white fish, put it on the table rack, flicked off the slightly burnt edges, looked at it carefully, and then breathed out: "It's okay, it's okay, I almost missed it. Confused."

Barbara rushed over first and looked at the white fish carefully. After confirming that it was not burnt, she breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at me and said: "I didn't even pay attention to the grilled fish. If I didn't remind you, this white fish would be wasted." Got it!"

I apologized hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Barbara hummed several times, stretched out her slender fingers, gently broke off a piece of fish and put it into her mouth, chewed it carefully, and her eyes suddenly lit up, but the light was fleeting. She hummed softly and took the white fish. He got up, hid behind his back, and said: "For the sake of this fish not being mushy, I won't pursue it. I won't do it next time!"

I looked helpless: "Yes, yes, I understand."

Then, she turned to face Princess Analetta and said: "Princess, this fish is grilled so hard that it is not good for your health. You wait for the next one, and I will take care of this one for you."

After saying that, she turned around, took the steaming white fish to her mouth, blew on it twice, and started eating it. Her mouth was full of oil and she was extremely happy. How could it look so hard?

The others smiled bitterly. Princess Analetta wanted to go up and grab the fish to eat, but she was weak and needed help even when walking, let alone such strenuous work as grabbing fish.

I shook my head helplessly, chuckled, and continued grilling the fish.

In this way, in one night, I grilled a bag full of white fish. Everyone in the guild burped until they ate so much. They looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. They said good night to each other and went home. Those who went back to their rooms went back to their rooms to rest.

In the yard, only me, Taylor, and Xiao Zhi, who was still very energetic, were left.

I finished cleaning up the grill and found a clean place to sit, looking at the night sky without saying a word.

Xiaozhi and Taylor sat on my left and right sides. Xiaozhi was also looking at the night, but Taylor was still drinking.

After finishing the bottle, he burped and said, "You are very good at barbecue, and you never get nearly burnt."

"Yeah, I was distracted," I said truthfully. Facing Taylor who was like a grandfather, there was no need to hide it.

"Are you worried?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah," I said, "Today, I met two people from the Elf Assassination Team and talked with them for a while."

"They were just following orders, and they didn't actually want to kill people casually," Taylor said.

"You are right, they are indeed not that kind of murderous character" I said: "They are just better at obeying."

Taylor nodded and suddenly said: "Is it because you listened to what they said that you were shaken?"

"It's not that I'm wavering," I said, "It's just that some things may not be as I thought."

I repeated what the assassin had said.

Taylor asked: "How do you understand that last sentence?"

"I think there are two ways to understand it," I said: "First, Akahawi is not the real manipulator behind the scenes, he is just a puppet who shows up, and there is someone else who really controls him; secondly, Akahawi He is the real manipulator behind the scenes, but he was bewitched by others and his character changed drastically, and he became what he is now."

Taylor asked again: "Which one of these two ways of understanding do you think is more reliable?"

I shook my head: "I don't know, this is just what I can think of right now. I'm not sure, there will be a third or fourth possibility, but I haven't thought of it yet."

After hearing this, Taylor shook his head and said, "No, I think you have found the answer."
