After a storm, the room became quiet. Xu Xin lay comfortably on the bed. Ava put on her clothes and massaged his back, enduring the bruises and pain on her body.
Xu Xin never knew what pity was. On the contrary, he often had some tyrannical tendencies, just like how he treated the slaves. Various rules and punishments made the slaves silent every day. Ava didn't know why some people could say such terrible words and do such terrible things with a smile.
"You should be thinner. You've grown too fast recently." Xu Xin turned his head slightly, glanced at Ava and said, "It seems that Hall and the others fed you too well. A loli should look like a loli, right?"
"Yes." Ava didn't quite understand what he meant, but she knew that the man in front of her had a frightening obsession with petite women. It was like he was crazy.
"Just eat less. Otherwise you'll be useless. If you're useless, you know?"
"Um."
Xu Xin said a few words and then fell silent, and then snoring could be heard in the room. Ava didn't dare to stop her hand on his back. However, as the man fell asleep more and more, an idea came to her mind uncontrollably.
He already knew about Avalor's brother. If he remembered it again and investigated it, would Avalor's brother be caught? Ava didn't know what magic could do. Although the man in front of her looked ordinary and even a little thin, it still couldn't change the fact that he was a magician.
She recalled the time when Avalor had taken care of her, and her little hand involuntarily touched the hairpin on her head. This was a gift from Howl for her to use for dressing up after he saw that she was quite obedient. The hairpin was silver and had two forks. Although it was not very hard, if it was inserted into his eyes, it should be able to kill him, right
She knew that if she did that, she would surely die, but in that case, Brother Avalor could live peacefully somewhere in the world. Maybe, he had already gone to Montenegro
She held the hairpin in her right hand and stretched it towards his eyes tremblingly. She had to hold this hand with her other hand to prevent it from shaking too violently.
Just when the hairpin was about to touch Xu Xin's eyelid, there was a sudden explosion outside. She was so scared that she shuddered, and the tip of the hairpin scratched Xu Xin's eyelid, waking him up in pain.
Air waves burst out from his body, blowing Ava away. Xu Xin covered his eyes and sat up, shouting angrily: "Damn it! What's going on?"
As soon as he let go, he saw a lot of blood on his hand and his right eyelid seemed to be cut. Then he saw that Ava was holding a sharp object in her hand, and he immediately came to his senses. He shouted angrily: "Asshole! I'm so good to a slave like you, and you want to hurt me?"
He picked up the pillow and clothes on the bed and threw them at Ava who was lying on the ground. "You are done. You are dead. Not only will I extract your soul, I will also make your body into a specimen!"
He raised his hand, and magic began to gather in the middle of his hand. However, at this time, there was another explosion outside, and his eyes were fixed. He didn't have time to care about Ava anymore, but went to the window to look out.
He discovered that an explosion was happening in the guard camp at the foot of the hill. It seemed that the magician inside had attacked someone outside, which then caused a counterattack from outside.
"Magicians fighting each other? Who could it be?" he muttered.
He hurriedly put on his robes and prepared to kill Ava. Just as he was gathering his magic power again, the door of the room was kicked open and four people rushed in from outside.
"Xu Xin!" Ji Yijun, who was leading the way, was stunned.
"It turned out to be him." Huang Zheng raised his glasses and looked at him coldly.
"You're not a magic apprentice anymore?" Glade was a little surprised. He had taught Xu Xin some magic when they were in school.
Only Kalanda said nothing and rushed forward to subdue him.
However, Xu Xin is not a wild wizard like the Puppet Master who is not good at fighting and can only ambush people.
He retreated quickly, and a thick shield appeared in front of him. Kalanda punched it with fighting spirit, but the force was rebounded. She could only take advantage of the momentum to retreat, landed next to Ava, and pulled the little girl behind them.
"I didn't expect you could find this place so quickly." Xu Xin took out a short magic wand from the storage ring, activated the spell on it, and waved it quickly. Several shields appeared in front of him, some to protect against physical attacks, and some to protect against magical attacks.
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. When you assassinated Chen Hansheng, you should have known that one day it would be discovered." Ji Yijun said seriously.
"Chen Hansheng? What are you talking about? When did I assassinate Chen Hansheng?" Xu Xin retorted with a frown.
"Will your excuses be of any use? We have already caught the assassin. As long as he confesses, we will have no shortage of evidence. We also saw with our own eyes that he was trading with Steward Hall. Do you still want to deny it?" Ji Yijun said.
"Hall? He and I are not together, we are just cooperating. As for me, I am just here to command slaves to work for others, doing things similar to what I do in the school factory. I have never harmed my own people!" Xu Xin defended loudly.
Ji Yijun wanted to say more, but was stopped by Huang Zheng. He said, "Maybe Xu Xin, you really don't know about this. That only means that your partner assassinated Chen Hansheng behind your back. Let us hear who your partner is, maybe we can reduce your suspicion!"
"Why should I tell you? Yes, I worked with others during my business trips and built a side business here, but what does this have to do with the school? Even Principal Guo didn't say that we can't cooperate with local people to start a business, right? Your guard team is meddling too much."
"Since you have nothing to worry about, come with us. If there are no other problems, we will hand this matter over to the committee. But someone here attacked Alano and seriously injured Chen Hansheng. We must take care of this matter to the end. Did you see the explosion outside? The guards here have been eliminated by us, and all the slaves and factories have been taken over by us." Huang Zheng said.
Xu Xin's face was uncertain. He knew how many tricks he had used and how many people had died because of him. According to the moral character of those people in the school, once these things were found out, it would be impossible not to hold him responsible. He was now a mid-level mage. There was no place he could not go. Why should he go back with these people and take the risk of being sentenced and imprisoned? He didn't want to be imprisoned somewhere and never be able to step out again.
Moreover, he knew what kind of people he was working with in the school. For the sake of their own political future, they would rather make him die and shut up than speak for him.
