I chatted with the two Assassins, and in the midst of casual conversation, I asked them what they thought of me.

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

I wondered, "What's the mystery?" ”

The two of them kept their mouths shut.

I shrugged my shoulders: "Since I don't want to talk about it, let's change the subject, are you guys goblins?" ”

The assassin in front was silent, and the assassin in the back said, "Don't hate. ”

I asked, "Do you masters hate goblins?" ”

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

"I guess, he hates, not only hates, but hates it to the bone, even to the point of eating meat and drinking blood."

"It's not right for you to guess my lord's mind like that," the assassin in front of him said with a serious face.

"This is not a guess," I tilted my head, "If there was no hatred to that extent, how could he order the extermination of the goblins?" ”

The assassin in front did not squeak again, and the assassin in the back said, "Or, perhaps, my lord has other intentions......"

I waved my hand to interrupt him: "Forget it, what has happened, don't excuse it anymore, if it weren't for the elves who escaped quickly, maybe they would have been wiped out." ”

When the topic reached this point, it stopped, and no one continued to talk.

When they were about to get home, they put the bags on the ground, and I asked them if they wanted to go in and have a cup of tea and rest.

However, they were rejected by the two.

Before entering the house, the Assassin in front of me suddenly stopped me and whispered, "Today may be the last time we will meet, and there is something that must be explained. ”

I nodded, "You say." ”

He said: "I have followed my lord since I was a child, until today, and more than thirty years have passed, although my lord is fierce and cruel, but not to the level of 'stupid', but I have to say that the order to slaughter the goblins is the most stupid order I have seen in many years, and my lord when this order was given is not like my lord'......"

I tilted my head and asked him, "You don't think it's your master, is it a puppet, or a stand-in?" ”

"No, although it feels different, it is indeed my lord, but it is ......" At this point, the assassin in front of him shook his head, sighed, and said: "In short, that's all I have to say to you, although you and I are enemies, this conversation is very pleasant, take care." ”

Watching the figures of the two disappear into the night, I muttered, "Enemy? Perhaps, it's just you, the Lord and I......"

Coming home with a big bag full of white fish, I was naturally very satisfied.

Barbara couldn't suppress the excitement on her face, but she still snorted softly: "Do it, it's not bad!" ”

I hesitate.

When Princess Anareta saw that the white fish was back, she actually climbed off the bed with her weak body, and her eyes were generous: "Quick, I want to eat grilled." ”

In order to let the little princess eat with peace of mind, I had to set up a barbecue in the courtyard late at night.

The sparks crackled, the green smoke continued, and my thoughts never stopped: after more than 30 years of following, no matter who it is, they have already had the same mind, he said that the person who gave the order to slaughter the goblins was not like his master, but it was indeed his master, was he hinting at me?

If it's a hint, then what does he mean by that?

not his lord, but his lord...... Not like his Lord, but indeed ......

I was repeating this over and over again, and a cold scream came in my ear: "Ah, Xiaoyi, what are you doing!" ”

Subconsciously, I turned my head and saw Barbara with an anxious expression, and kept pointing her index finger in front of me, and almost rushed up.

When I looked down, I realized that the white fish was fully cooked, and it was constantly moving towards the scorched paste.

"Oops, distracted!" I screamed, hurriedly removed the white fish, put it on the desktop net shelf, flicked off the slightly coke edge, looked at it carefully, and then sighed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's almost mushy." ”

Barbara was the first to rush over, carefully examined the white fish, and after making sure that it was not burnt, she breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at me and said, "I don't pay attention to the grilled fish, or I remind you, this white fish will be wasted!" ”

I hurriedly apologized: "Yes, yes, yes, my fault." ”

Barbara snorted a few times, stretched out her fingers, gently broke off a piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and her eyes lit up, but this light was fleeting, she snorted lightly, picked up the white fish, hid it behind her, and said: "For the sake of this fish, I won't pursue it, and I won't take it as an example!" ”

I looked helpless: "Yes, yes, I know." ”

Then, she turned to face Princess Anareta and said, "Princess, this fish is so hard to grill, it's not good for your health, you wait for the next one, and I'll do it for you." ”

After that, she turned around, took the steaming white fish to her mouth, blew it twice, and then crunched and ate it, eating with her mouth full of oil, extremely happy, where is this so hard......

The others smiled bitterly, Princess Anareta wanted to go up and grab fish to eat, but her body was weak, even if she walked, she had to be helped, not to mention the heavy physical work of grabbing fish.

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

That's it, in one night, I roasted a bag full of white fish, everyone in the guild ate until they were full of burps, looked at the time, it was almost midnight, said goodnight to each other, and went home, went back to the room, went back to the room, and went to rest.

In the yard, only me, Taylor, and the still spirited little squeak remained.

I cleaned up the grill, found a clean place to sit, looked at the night sky, and said nothing.

Squeak and Taylor sat on my left and right sides, Squeak was also watching the night, but Taylor was still drinking.

At the end of the bottle, he burped and said, "You are very good at this kind of thing of barbecue, and you will never almost burn." ”

"yes, I'm distracted," I said truthfully, and there was no need to hide it in the face of Taylor, who was like a grandfather.

"Something?" Taylor asked.

"Hmm," I said, "Today, I met two members of the Elven Assassination Team and talked to them for a while. ”

"They just do what they are told, and they don't really want to kill people casually," Taylor said.

"You're right, they're not murderous," I said, "they're just good at obedience. ”

Taylor nodded, and suddenly said, "Is it because you listened to their words that you were shaken?" ”

"It's not that I'm swaying," I said, "it's just that some things may not be as I thought they were." ”

I repeated what the Assassin had said.

Taylor asked, "What do you mean by that last sentence?" ”

"I think there are two ways to understand it," I said, "one is that Akahavi is not really the man behind the scenes, he is just a puppet who shows his face, and there are other people who really manipulate him; Second, Akahavi is the real manipulator behind the scenes, but he has been deceived by others, and his heart has changed drastically, and he has become what he is now. ”

Taylor asked, "Which of the two ways do you think is more reliable?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't know, this is just what I can think of at the moment, maybe there will be a third or fourth possibility, but I haven't thought of it yet." ”

Taylor shook his head and said, "No, I think, you've found the answer." ”
