Chapter 381: Avant's former friends

Views:

Master Assassins, some scary guys.

This was Avent's subconscious reaction after seeing Jason's performance.

However, after recalling it in detail, Avant couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart: Who is the Master Assassin

He didn't have much memory of these people in his memory.

It's a similar title.

My memory... alas.

Avent sighed slightly, and at the same time, lowered his guard.

He didn't complain any more. In fact, Avent was already grateful for being able to remember some key points.

As for the rest

He believed that he would slowly remember.

Even if he couldn't remember, he wouldn't have any regrets.

After all, he found his son.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Avent has let go of his hatred.

Avant still hated the 'Holy Temple'.

The hatred of killing one's wife is irreconcilable.

So, he had to do something.

He instinctively told him that the 'temple' wouldn't just be left alone.

"good."

"The talent is even better than I imagined. No wonder you became the last 'claw'—those guys took you as a seed."

"When you take root and sprout, when you grow up completely, it's the time for 'Night Owl' to spread its wings again."

As Avant said, he slowly drew out the standard long sword that erased the mark.

Then, just like that, he thrust his sword forward suddenly.

Whoosh, whoosh!

In the short distance, the long sword accelerated three times suddenly, and the sound of piercing the air was like a sharp arrow.

"The stabbing is a skill I created based on the spear stabbing of the barracks and some assassin-style daggers. It can compensate for the shortcoming that your long sword is not 'sharp' enough when you charge."

With that said, Avant demonstrated again.

This time the cover-up was very slow, and the pass explanation was more detailed.

Then, Avent found that the 'talent' that Jason had shown before had disappeared.

In Avent's view, Jason, who was able to learn [Concealment] in one go and became adaptable to his own situation, should also be able to learn [Push] once.

But in fact, after three consecutive times, Jason was still groping for the basics.

Is swordsmanship a godsend

Avent couldn't help but sighed slightly from the bottom of his heart.

Human talents are different.

In other aspects, Jason is undoubtedly excellent, but swordsmanship... is really beyond words.

Even if you have found the 'original heart' you insist on.

But this didn't change Jason's swordsmanship.

However, Avent didn't think what Jason said before was wrong.

The kind of swordsmanship that adheres to the "intention" is naturally swordsmanship.

Moreover, as an elder, he would not punish a junior who had gone out of his own way, he would only encourage Jason.

Make Jason stronger!

Therefore, Avent pointed out twice again, and after another detailed explanation, he said with a smile:

"You can practice here."

"It's not far from an old friend's mansion. I'll go and see that old guy."

After finishing speaking, Avant waved at Esther, signaling his son to rest here, and then went straight through the trees and walked along the road out of the city to one side.

old friend

Jason, who was practicing, was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at Esther.

There is no doubt that Esther should have said something.

But shouldn't it be too much to say and make mistakes at this time

It should be kept concise.

No!

That's for ordinary people, for Est... It's not too difficult.

On the contrary, all this will make Avant believe in his identity more.

Esther didn't notice Jason's eyes. When he saw Avant leave, after "drawing his sword", Esther, who was sore and weak, stood up and watched his father leave.

Whether it's the eyes or the expression, it's exactly what a son should have.

Watching this scene, the corners of Jason's eyes twitched.

Not only Avent believes in his identity, but Esther also believes in it.

Really lie to yourself before you lie to others!

No, if you believe it... Isn't all this true

Jason thought, finally shook his head, and continued to practice.

All of this is Est's plan, and the plan has succeeded, so he naturally has no objection.

And Avent, who had already walked on the road, seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and turned his head to glance at the open space covered by trees.

'Juvenile Master' Avent's perception caught Este instantly.

Seeing his son's appearance, Avent couldn't help but smile.

A deep admiration arises from the bottom of my heart.

This feels... so good.

Avent took a light breath and continued walking towards the destination in his memory.

He's already made a mistake once.

I will never allow myself to make another mistake.

Even for his own son.

Thinking of this, Avant's footsteps began to speed up. After a few breaths, Avant's whole body was as fast as a speeding car, and quickly disappeared on the main road of the highway, but entered a section of side road.

After passing through a relatively smooth side road and walking through a section of potholed soil, Avent came to a manor.

This manor is not big, and there are no fountains, flower beds, or even courtyard walls.

It's just a group of buildings, which looks like a village.

However, the building is quite neat.

Moreover, a team of guards with live ammunition is even more conspicuous.

Avent didn't hide his figure, and was discovered immediately.

"stop."

"This is private territory, entry is prohibited."

"Please leave."

The guard said with a serious face.

"Um."

"I want to see Io Kate."

Ai Wente nodded to show that he knew, and then continued.

The guard looked at the man in the cloak in surprise, not showing his true face.

Io Kate is a name that only belongs to their family and can only be known by high-level personnel.

A name that has already faded out of everyone's sight, but still controls the power of the entire family.

"please wait."

The guard's vigilance is still there, but his words are much more polite.

To show respect, the guard who spoke first, who was obviously the leader of the team, did not leave, but stood in front of Avant, while a member of the team behind the other party picked up the communicator and ran towards the building complex.

Avent could clearly hear the guard's application.

Obviously, the other party is not qualified to take him in at all.

Avent was not surprised by this.

He waited very patiently.

About five minutes later, a man who looked like a butler came out.

This is an elderly old housekeeper. Although he tried his best to straighten his back, he still has a hunched head. However, his eyes are still bright. When he saw Avent wearing a hood, the old housekeeper first walked After a salute, he asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Dahl, do you still recognize me?"

Saying these words, Avant took off his hood.

The moment Avant took off his hood, the butler trembled all over, and his voice trembled along with his body.

"My lord, you are finally back!"

The old butler's eyes were red, and he was about to salute again, but was stopped by Avent.

"I come back."

Avant's voice choked up, obviously excited.

"Please come with me."

"Master Kate has been waiting for you for too long."

"He looks forward to your return all the time."

After speaking, the old butler turned around and led the way, because he was so happy that his steps became much lighter.

Led by the old butler, Avent entered the building complex.

Looking at the backs of the old butler and Avent, the surrounding guards were full of curiosity.

You know, the old butler, as the boss' confidant, hasn't been this excited for a long time.

Naturally, they made many guesses about Avant's identity.

Curiosity didn't make the guards lose their guard, though.

On the contrary, they cheered up even more.

This is experience.

Whenever something is related to that old man, it must not be simple.

Fighting is even more commonplace.

Battles near the manor also happen occasionally.

Avent's perception made him clearly feel such a change.

"Kate is still as cautious."

Avent couldn't help but sighed.

"Since you disappeared and your lords died in battle, Lord Kate has always maintained such caution. The night is frightening, but it is our shelter."

The old butler sang softly.

Then, a higher-pitched voice sounded from the office at the end of the corridor.

"In the night, in the dark, we are the guardians and the rulers!"

"We always monitor your travels. Peeping at Angcheng in the dark, hiding in the attic with low walls. He is with you at home, and he is also in your bed and bed. Don't mention his name, and the claws will find your head .”

With such a voice, an old figure tremblingly appeared on the side of the corridor.

This is an almost hunchbacked old man, leaning on a cane, with only one eye left, his hair has long been bald, only a few long white hairs fluttering, and he is wearing a loose robe.

At this moment, the robe was shaking with the excitement of his body.

Luxurious fabrics reflect dazzling brilliance in the sun.

"The night is your place of inspection."

"Under the moon is when you spread your wings."

"Because of the night owl..."

Avant chanted in a low voice, and quickened his pace.

The old man also quickened his pace, and when the two came to face each other, the eyes of Avent and the old man sparkled.

The old man in front of him is his comrade in arms.

It is the NO.2 of the "claw" of the previous generation in the "Night Owl Court".

The two were once the closest comrades-in-arms.

Now

Still the same!

Avent's right hand grabbed Io Kate's right hand, and the two held each other tightly, singing in unison—

"Time for the verdict!"

Reunion after more than ten years, reunion of old friends.

Io Kate, a nobleman of the empire, couldn't hold back anymore.

He said tearfully:

"Avent, welcome home."

At this moment, Monty Kate, the youngest son of the Kate family, is answering the phone call from the Prime Minister of the Empire.

"I can assure you."

"Ang City will always belong to the empire, there is no so-called 'Hydra', and there will be no 'Night Owl Court'."

"That's right!"

"do not worry!"

The mayor of Ang City said loudly.

After repeated assurances, Monty Kate hung up the phone.

The middle-aged man frowned.

"What's going on with 'Hydra' and 'Night Owl Court'?"

"How could there be such an organization in Angcheng?"

"Whose game is it?"

"Will it be aimed at the Kate family?"

He was thinking, and at this moment, his phone rang again, and it was the old butler calling—

"Master Monty, my master calls you home for dinner."
