"Let's go." The old servant Lambert also responded quickly and urged him immediately.
Jenny and Keen, the siblings, were still ignorant, so they were directly pulled by Linley and Lambert and left here quickly. After all, if you kill people on this street, the city guards will definitely come soon.
Linley wasn't afraid of those sergeants, but with Jenny and the others, facing the city guard sergeants, it was still very troublesome.
Not only did Linley's group flee, but the panicked pedestrians also quickly hid away.
This evening, the main road of Black Rock City was the most prosperous time, but at this moment, the panicked crowds all ran away. There was no one within 100 meters around the two dead bodies.
"Captain, what should I do?"
At the window of a private room of a restaurant next to the street, two men were looking down through the window. One of them has long red hair and a face like a knife, but at the moment his face is very gloomy, and the subordinate next to him is asking in a low voice.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a strong expert beside the two rural siblings." The red-haired man snorted coldly.
"Captain, there is a black leopard next to that person. The leopard monsters must be high-level monsters... It's very difficult for us to deal with this strong man." The strong man next to him whispered.
The red-haired man was also a little irritable.
I took the order of the eldest lady and came to kill the two brothers and sisters in the countryside. Moreover, according to the information, there was an old servant next to the two brothers and sisters in the country, and there was a little bit of force. But as far as the sixth-level warrior is concerned. In the O'Brien Empire, where there are many powerhouses, the sixth-level powerhouse is nothing at all.
In a country town, a sixth-level fighter can be powerful. However, the captain of the team sent by the lord of the county town was a seventh-level soldier.
"Black Panther... How come I've never seen this kind of leopard monster?" The red-haired man frowned. As a seventh-level powerhouse, he knew a lot about monsters.
He also knew about the golden leopards, black-lined leopards and many other monsters among the leopard monsters.
But the leopard with the dense black pattern in front of him has never been seen before.
"The brown-haired man was obviously the owner of the black panther just now, and that brown-haired man is at least an eighth-level powerhouse." The red-haired man recalled the moment when Linley grabbed two arrows, his heart trembled even more.
Arrow speed is very fast.
To react, go to Jenny and the Keane siblings in an instant, and then grab the two arrows. This is what ordinary eighth-level powerhouses can't do.
"Captain?" the brawny man next to him whispered.
The red-haired man turned to look at him, and said coldly: "Hmph, that brown-haired man is very strong, this task should not be fought recklessly. In this way, if you arrange for me to investigate secretly, I don't believe that the master will not want it. Eating and sleeping, he doesn't always follow the siblings, right?"
"As long as the brown-haired man is separated from the siblings, he will send someone to shoot them to death." The red-haired man gave the order.
"Yes, Captain." The strong man nodded and immediately left the private room.
The red-haired man turned his head and continued to look down through the window. The two corpses with arrows pierced through their throats were still on the side of the street, and the city guard cavalry on horses rushed over.
…
In a private room on the second floor of an ordinary hotel in Blackrock City, Linley, Jenny, Keane, and Lambert all sat down. Even Beibei has a place on his own. As for the black-patterned clouded leopard 'Hei Lu', it was lying on the ground, squinting comfortably and resting.
Jenny and Keane are still a little pale.
"Just, you scared me to death just now." Keane still had panic in his eyes.
Keane lived in a small town in the countryside since he was a child, and the most tragic thing he usually sees is some juveniles fighting each other fiercely. Who has experienced this scene firsthand
On the way, although he had experienced robbery and murder, the robber fought with mercenaries, but he did not hurt him. But this time, the other party wanted to kill him and his sister.
There was also a trace of fear in Jenny's eyes at the moment.
"Jenny, Keane, don't be afraid." Linley smiled and comforted.
For Linley, such a small scene could not even cause mood swings. In the Warcraft Mountains, there may be a lurking Warcraft at any time suddenly rushing out to attack.
In the mountain range of beasts, lei is as calm as water, not to mention this kind of petty trouble
"Master, Miss." Lambert comforted, "It's all right now, don't worry. Fortunately, Master Lei is here this time, otherwise it would be bad. Master, Miss, you should also thank Master Lei well."
Only then did Jenny and Keane react from the panic.
"Brother Lei, thank you so much this time." Keane said excitedly, and then his eyes lit up, "Brother Lei, you were so handsome just now, you grabbed two sharp arrows with a wave of your hand, and once again Hui... those two people were killed." As expected of a child, he immediately forgot his fear.
Jenny also looked at Linley gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Lei."
For Linley, Jenny is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
When I saw Linley for the first time, in Jenny's heart, Linley was a mysterious powerhouse, an amazing figure with powerful monsters.
While talking with Linley, she found that Linley was a very kind person.
Especially when she asked Lin Lei to protect her, Lin Lei actually only took a gold coin. Although Linley said that in the future when Keen became the city lord, he would still receive 9999 gold coins. But Jenny, who is now eighteen years old, still understands a little bit about the world.
"Thank you, thank you, I promised to protect you, it's just a duty. By the way." Linley frowned, "What's the matter, just when you entered Blackrock City, someone was going to shoot you? Who the hell did you offend? "
Keane looked bewildered.
Jenny was also a little puzzled: "I, we didn't offend anyone."
"then who has a grudge against you?" lei continued to ask.
Jenny pondered for a moment and said, "Well, if there is any enemy, I am afraid it is only our aunt." At this time, the old servant Lambert next to him immediately interrupted their conversation, smiled and said to Linley: "There is no enemy, Their aunt and them are just a small family conflict. Mr. Lei, you don't need to think about this kind of trouble, it's useless to think about it. Let's eat."
Linley glanced at Lambert, smiled and nodded: "Then let's eat together."
In fact, ever since he heard Keen tell about his relationship with his sister, lei had guessed what happened. This time someone wanted to kill them, and it was obvious that the lady of the city lord did not want Jenny and Keane to be the city lords.
only lei did not say clearly.
…
That night, the Jenny siblings, the old servants Lambert and Linley checked into this hotel, and they directly settled on an independent courtyard to live there.
Night falls.
Linley's room was pitch black. Linley sat cross-legged on the bed, his heart was peaceful, quietly sensing the pulsation of the earth and the rhythm of the wind.
Occasionally, when Linley realized something, he would get up and wave his epee at will.
…
"Squeak." Jenny, who was wearing pajamas and long hair, walked to Lambert's room, the old servant, "Grandpa Lambert, are you asleep?"
The door opened quickly.
"Miss, come in quickly." Lambert opened the room immediately, and closed the room after Jenny came in.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Lambert asked.
Jenny's eyes stared at Lambert: "Grandpa Lambert, tell me, why would someone come to kill me and my brother, is it Auntie and the others?"
"Why do you think of this." Lambert's heart trembled.
Jenny stubbornly said: "Grandpa Lambert, don't treat me like a child. When my brother and I left that town, we thought we were going to take over as the city lord happily this time. But I understand now. , Auntie and the others will not let us take over. The person who wants to kill us this time must be arranged by her. I can't think of anyone else."
Lambert looked at Jenny and sighed softly.
"Okay, miss. I admit, your guess is right." Lambert was very helpless.
Jenny was startled.
"Sure enough..." Jenny muttered to himself.
Jenny looked at Lambert: "Grandpa Lambert, why didn't you tell me and my brother at first?"
"Alas." Lambert shook his head, "What's the use of telling you? Your mother couldn't take that breath when she was dying. You just want your siblings to succeed the city lord. I know, with your temperament, I'm afraid Not against your mother's wishes."
"Well, I will do it even if I die." Jenny nodded stubbornly.
"Since this is the case, it is better to make you happy along the way. And I am also trying to prepare for you. If I hadn't met this Lord Lei, I would also think of other ways for you in Black Rock City, so that you can try your best. Arrived safely in Chill County," Lambert said honestly.
In that country town, Jenny and Keane were not happy at all.
The nobles of the town coveted Jenny's beauty, and Keane was often bullied. Even if Keane and Janney knew the road was dangerous, they would give it a shot.
After all, once they become the city lord, their fate will truly change.
"Grandpa Lambert, is this road dangerous?" Jenny's expression was very complicated.
Lambert sighed lowly: "I thought it would not be too dangerous, but now it seems that your aunt is really ruthless. I was ready to do it in Blackrock City. On the way to Chier County City, I'm afraid it's really dangerous."
"Then Grandpa Lambert, why didn't you tell Brother Lei clearly?" Jenny glared at Lambert.
"I can't say it explicitly." Lambert shook his head and said, "After your father died, your aunt almost took charge of Chier County. She has a lot of masters. The person in power fights, I am afraid he will not fight for your sister and brother. After all, it is very dangerous."
The real power of a county town is astonishing.
It is estimated that there are eight-level powerhouses under his command. Of course, ninth-level powerhouses are unlikely to have them. Even if there are, one is very remarkable. After all, the ninth-level powerhouse generally serves the ruling family of a province, or serves the emperor. For a county town lord... unlikely.
However, killing people not only requires the use of swords, poisons, traps, and so on.
"Very dangerous?" Jenny thought for a moment, "Grandpa Lambert, you should rest early." After speaking, Jenny left Lambert's room.
When Jenny left Lambert's room, he didn't go back to his room, but... walked to Linley's room.
"Bang, bang, bang—" There were three consecutive knocks on the door.
"Come in." Linley's voice sounded, and at the same time the candles in the house were lit.
Janney pushed the door in.
Linley got out of bed and sat on the chair with a smile, "It's so late, Jenny, do you have anything to do?"
"Brother Lei." Jenny sat down, took a deep breath, and gathered up his courage to look at Linley and said, "Brother Lei, I have to tell you a fact."
"what fact?" lei looked at jenny.
Jenny said apologetically: "Actually, Keane and I have always lived in a small country town, and we haven't been to my father's place for a long time. We are not familiar with Chier County at all, and this time we are going to succeed the city lord. , not necessarily successful.”
Jenny is a very kind girl, she now understands the danger ahead and doesn't want Linley to suffer with them.
"oh." lei just responded.
Linley sighed inwardly, this Jenny really is a very simple little girl.
Seeing Lin Lei's reaction, Jenny thought that Lin Lei didn't understand, and quickly explained: "Brother Lei, I thought at first that I was going to inherit the city lord this time. If the inheritance succeeds, we will succeed, and if we fail, we will go back. But things are not so simple. If someone wants to kill us this time, it's probably someone sent by the aunt, and I'm afraid she will have more powerful means in the future, and it will be very dangerous if you are by our side."
