When An Fei stepped into the room, a big man was struggling to get up from the ground and kicked off his legs. The back of the big man's head hit the floor hard, like a smashed watermelon, and red juice splashed all over the floor. The wind blade appeared in the air again, shooting downwards with a diagonal stab. The other two followers who fell to the ground were already shot by the wind blade before they could make a move. The last follower rushed towards An Fei like crazy. Coming over, An Fei put the long sword in his hand away as soon as he looked at it. There was already a bloody hole in the throat of the follower. He shook twice and fell to the ground.

With a bang, the door of the opposite room was forcefully opened. As soon as the person inside rushed out, a blade of wind hit his head. The person who rushed at the end had good reaction speed. He bent down and hid behind his companion. Both companions were shot into sieves, and he remained intact. But just as he pushed away the fallen body of his companion, he saw a cold light flash before his eyes, and then he didn't know anything anymore.

An Fei's eyes fell on the door of the last room. Rodhart had two teachers, one of whom had been killed, and the other teacher was resting in that room. Could it be that such a big movement didn't wake him up

An Fei stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, but did not rush in. He waited for a moment, then ducked and slid in like a fish. There was no one in the room, the window was wide open, and there was a A long rope made of torn sheets was tied to the head of the bed, and the other end was outside the window. The long rope was still shaking.

An Fei walked to the corner in front of the window and looked down. Rodhart's teacher was obviously not very familiar with the thieves' business and wasted a lot of time on making and binding long ropes. Now he just followed Climb down the long rope.

An Fei reached out, grabbed the old man's hair, and lifted the old man up, howling in pain and fear. An Fei's long sword had already scratched the opponent's neck, and then he released his left hand, and the old man's body fell straight onto the grass.

There was not much movement on An Fei's side, but the rumbling sound on Susanna's side was endless. However, when An Fei sheathed her sword and walked out, Susanna should have completed her mission, and all the sounds disappeared.

An Fei walked to the stairs, and Susanna jumped out of a large hole in the wall. Meet An Fei.

"We...we don't seem to be here to demolish the house, right?" An Fei couldn't help but ask.

Susanna looked back and saw that the scene over there had become terrible. The originally neat corridor was covered with broken stones and broken bricks. Several magic lights hanging on the corridor walls were also gone. On the left side, The wall simply collapsed, revealing a huge hole for people to walk through. Five three-eyed demon cows can also enter and exit side by side. Susanna stuck out her tongue behind An Fei's back. It's not that she is too violent, almost all swordsmen's fighting styles are like this.

"I hope His Majesty Yolande will not let us compensate." An Fei said helplessly.

"Where's Chris? Is there any danger?" Susanna has now learned to change the subject.

"No, we can just wait for him here." An Fei said as he sat down on the stairs.

"I'll go up..."

An Fei shook his head firmly: "This is his business."

"Okay." Susanna slowly sat down next to An Fei.

Time passed bit by bit, but Chris was still nowhere to be seen. The guards downstairs had come up several times. Seeing An Fei and Susanna, they hurriedly retreated. When they came up for the last time, the guards generals looked very strange. They obviously didn't understand what An Fei and Susanna were doing. They should leave immediately after killing them. If you haven't finished killing, you should hurry up. What does it mean to sit there and chat like two people who have nothing to do

I don’t know how much time passed. The fishy smell in the air was getting stronger and stronger. An Fei's eyes were sharp. He saw that there were spots on several corpses. According to forensic medicine, two hours should have passed.

At this moment, slight footsteps came from upstairs, and Chris walked down from above step by step with an expressionless face.

An Fei stood up. His eyes fell on Chris: "Have you completed the mission? Then we can go back."

"I..." Chris just opened his mouth. Suddenly there was a faint cry from above. Then it became quiet again.

An Fei's eyes flickered. He had gotten enough information at that moment. Not only did Chris not kill the child, he even spared the adults, otherwise the crying would not have stopped immediately.

"I killed that Rod Hart." Chris' tone was a bit difficult: "But I couldn't do anything to those children, they were not guilty."

"Is that Rodhart guilty?" An Fei said lightly.

"You mean, I'm too weak?" Chris looked at An Fei, his eyes full of expectation, but he didn't know

If you want to get courage or support from An Fei.

"I didn't say that."

"Actually... you should let me stay here." Chris said with a wry smile. It's not like he has never killed anyone. When they attacked the Orc village, Chris was the main force of the team, but at that time the Orcs attacked them first. , at least he has a reason in his heart. Now facing a group of pitiful women and children who have no resistance, he is really unable to wield the butcher knife. Although Chris was determined when he walked up just now, he regretted it after he went up. If he could choose again, he would rather face Rodhart's entourage, and even take the risk of losing to deal with those swordsmen. scholar.

"Can you hide behind others forever?" An Fei said with a smile.

"I'm not as good as you." Chris's smile became more bitter. After such a long time of cooperation, An Fei understood him, and he also understood An Fei. When An Fei pulled out the sword, he would never hesitate. No matter what the enemy is in front of you.

"You are not as good as me." An Fei nodded: "To be honest, Chris, your performance is very poor."

There was another faint cry upstairs. Stimulated by An Fei, Chris's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He really wanted to rush forward and finish what he had not done. Unfortunately, it was only in an instant. The murderous intention disappeared again.

"Your decision is not wrong. The fault lies in your mentality." An Fei said lightly: "If you do it, you do it. If you don't do it, you don't do it. What's there to regret? You don't have any responsibility at all! Whether you want to compete with your two brothers, or just want peace of mind, hesitation will ruin your big things. Your choice is not to hurt innocent people, okay, we have done the work here, it’s time Just do whatever you want, can staying here change the outcome?"

"You...will you look down on me?"

"That's not important. I won't use your principles to demand of me, and you shouldn't use my principles to demand of yourself." An Fei smiled: "So I am An Fei and you are Chris."

After listening to An Fei's sincere words, most of Chris' worries and hesitation disappeared. He sighed softly: "I understand, An Fei, let's go home."

A shocking story spread in the Holy City. After the birth of the third prince of the empire, Rodhart, several spies loyal to the Allison Empire in the royal court made a shameless plan. They secretly took away the illegitimate son of King Allison. They brought him to the Mao Empire, and then used a trick to turn the illegitimate son into the third prince of the Mao Empire. Their purpose was to support the fake third prince to ascend to power and effortlessly seize the supreme power of the Mao Empire. When those spies tried to send the real third prince outside the city overnight, they happened to run into Beeri, the former commander of the Guards. The spies who panicked aroused Beieri's suspicion, and in the end they were all killed by Beeri. Lost. Bailey had an unknown child in his hands, and he had no time to take care of it, so he had to send the child to Sol's home. This was Chris.

After the empire defeated Neuinheim's Dark Moon Magic Legion, a large amount of confidential information was intercepted. The Allison Empire's conspiracy was exposed. King Juland ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and finally found the midwife at the time. , the midwife recalled that there should be a birthmark like a coiled snake behind the third prince's buttocks, and this strongly confirmed Chris's true identity.

Jurland ordered the arrest of all those involved. When the fake Rodhart knew that his identity was exposed, he jumped over the wall and started fighting with the Imperial Guards. In the end, he was killed by the Imperial Guards on the spot.

Of course, there are many flaws and incredible things in this story, such as how to send the child to the heavily guarded palace, whether it is necessary to send the real third prince outside the palace, and when the spies were fighting Beeri. Why not simply kill the third prince? How could the parents not recognize their children? There can't be only one midwife who knows the so-called birthmark, right? But the common people can't see these things. For them, the story just needs to be bizarre and thrilling enough.

An Fei was deeply touched by this story, and he realized more deeply what it means: The king lets the minister die, but the minister has to die. The meaning of idioms such as referring to a deer as a horse, confusing black and white, etc., turns out to be so cruel. Going beyond the perspective of the camp, although the fake Rodhart turned into an uneducated person under Yolande's careful training, he was not at fault, but he was still wiped out. . An Fei is a person who takes action when he feels something. Divine power cannot be desecrated, and monarchy cannot be shaken. However, there is still a way in the world, and that is to become a peak powerhouse.
