Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

The sun is shining, and its brilliant light pours down like a golden veil. The breeze blows on your face, as gentle as the caress of a mother's hand.

Emily and Rupert stood side by side in the vast medicinal field, talking patiently, as if time had stood still.

Rupert was concentrating and explaining his ideas seriously, while Emily nodded slightly from time to time, her eyes full of understanding and recognition. Their voices were particularly clear and pleasant in this quiet atmosphere, as if they were the most beautiful music in the world.

When the matter was settled, Rupert bowed to Tan Aili and took his leave, temporarily staying in the training camp manor.

Seeing Rupert walking towards the manor, Emily's face was immediately filled with a satisfied smile, which was as gorgeous and charming as a flower blooming in spring. She stood at the door of the manor and waited quietly for Rupert, her eyes full of expectation.

They held hands and walked towards the oak forest of Sheldon Castle, which was tall and straight, with its branches and leaves intertwined to form a natural green dome.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming golden spots, as if nature has laid a golden carpet for them. This place is full of mystery and romance, and the birds are singing happily on the branches, as if cheering for their love.

Tan Aili stood quietly in the distance, watching the bright smiles of the young couple. Her eyes first showed envy and relief, and a feeling of joy surged in her heart. She remembered that she had once longed for a beautiful and innocent time, but the painful memories broke the warmth and beauty of the moment.

Memories of the nightmare flashed before her eyes one by one. At that time, she was as energetic and vibrant as Emily, and full of infinite vision and hope for the future.

However, at this moment, a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed across her face. At that moment, her eyes became cold and sharp, as if blown by a gust of cold wind.

But the murderous intent soon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. She took a deep breath, tried to adjust her mentality, looked up to the sky and took a long breath, and said softly: "Kashin, you..." The unfinished words seemed to contain endless thoughts and complex emotions.

Tan Aili walked back to the manor slowly. When she entered the hall, she found that Kashin and Blainey had returned to the hall and were drinking drinks and chatting happily. The hall of the manor was originally decorated like a military headquarters, tough and simple. The sunlight shone through the windows onto the marble floor, forming patches of light.

Tan Aili smiled slightly, and there was both relief and a hint of indescribable loneliness in that smile. The relief was like seeing beautiful things blooming before her eyes, while the loneliness was like a dark river hidden deep in the depths, flowing quietly.

There was a complex light in her eyes, as if she was recalling some distant yet unforgettable past.

She walked over steadily, her steps light but with a firm determination. Her figure was graceful and her skirt swayed gently as she walked, like a blooming flower swaying in the breeze.

Returning to the hall of the manor, she joined their conversation. Tan Aili's voice was clear and pleasant, but deep in her heart, there might be some unknown secrets and emotions hidden. Those secrets might be the pain in the past, or the unrealized dreams. They were like heavy shackles, pressing on her heart, making her always have a lingering haze behind her laughter.

Blaney and Cashen had finished discussing private matters, so in order not to upset Tan Aili, they returned to the living room early to chat.

The intelligence on the armed forces around Shadowmoon City obtained from the Assassin's Organization was given to Kashen. That intelligence was like a mysterious key that gave him some understanding of the hidden forces in the surrounding area.

Sensitive Miss Tan Aili had a feeling that something was going on between the two, so she didn't say much at the moment and maintained superficial politeness: "Miss Blaney, I'd like to thank you for bringing in reinforcements this time. You brought Rupert here today and caused me a problem. I'm afraid my sister Emily will be kidnapped by this boy~"

Tan Aili's words seemed lighthearted and humorous on the surface, but they were actually testing and observing. Her cunning eyes moved between Blainey and Cashen, trying to catch a clue.

Bryony smiled slightly, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, gentle but with a hint of elusive meaning. She looked directly into Tan Aili's eyes, her eyes were clear and firm, and she said calmly: "I just accepted Rupert's commission. I was in the Magic Island at that time, and I didn't know much about Rupert's affairs. The specific situation was discussed at the banquet. The commission here has been completed, and what will happen has nothing to do with me. Miss Tan Aili has her own way to deal with it..." Her voice was steady and calm, as if she was stating something very ordinary.

Kashen then said: "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Blainey. Emily will be free in the future. We all respect her choice. We can think of other ways to deal with the matter of the medicine field. Everyone has their own aspirations. If you can't keep her, don't force it..." Kashen's words were filled with helplessness and open-mindedness. His brows were slightly frowned, showing his inner entanglement.

Blainey had received Kashin's promise and was very satisfied. She felt relaxed and happy, as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had appeared.

She thought to herself that she could finally leave this awkward situation. She and Kashin had their own little world, and no one could control it. Kashin had been controlled, and cultivating feelings was a matter for the future. Anyway, he performed well today...

Blainey stood up, her posture straight and elegant, and said, "The matter with Rupert is settled, both of you, I'll take my leave now!" Her tone was decisive and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

"Miss, are you leaving now? Why not stay a few more days? I can also do my part as a good host..." Tan Aili said hurriedly, with a look of trying to keep her.

"Kashin, just focus on training. I have other things to do. I'm wasting your attention here." Blaney responded, his eyes firm and full of determination.

At this time, Miss Tan Aili wanted to talk, so she stood up and said, "Miss Blaney, I have some doubts and want to ask you, why don't you follow me to the castle construction site and I'll just consider it as a send-off for you..." There was a shrewd light flashing in Tan Aili's eyes, and the corners of her mouth were raised, seemingly friendly, but actually a bit provocative.

Both women were not easy to deal with. They were very polite in front of Kashin, and they were testing each other. Bryony had no reason to back down in the face of provocation. She had always been very dissatisfied with seductive women. She thought to herself: "Huh, I want to see what you are up to."

"Okay, Kashen, you don't have to see me off. I'll have a good chat with Miss Tan Aili..." Blaney responded without hesitation, his voice full of confidence.

Bryony said goodbye to Grandpa Nick again. Although they had some conversation during the meal, they could not talk too much with the old man. After leaving, she didn't know when they would meet again. She said respectfully, "Grandpa, I brought you three pounds of Shausu magic potion tobacco from the Magic Island and two meerschaum pipes for you to play with slowly."

"Ms. Blainey, you are so kind. This pipe is a wonderful thing. Thank you so much!" Grandpa Nick took the gift, his eyes full of surprise and gratitude, and he couldn't put the pipe down.

"Old man, keep it and enjoy it slowly. The tobacco fermented from the potion has a unique flavor. I have other things to do. I will come to see you next time..." Blaney said with a smile, and there was a hint of warmth in that smile.

"Haha! Miss, take care. Come here to rest for a few days when you have time and have a drink with me. Miss Lillian, is the chamber of commerce here profitable?" Grandpa Nick asked with concern.

"We are in the stage of training apprentices and can only stockpile goods for now. We can continue commercial education after the empire restores order. There are gains and losses in doing business, so take your time!" Blaney explained patiently.

After a short chat, Bryony led Red Wolf and walked side by side with Tan Aili towards the castle. Kashen watched the young lady go away, feeling very uncomfortable, and the discomfort was like a huge rock pressing on his heart, making him unable to breathe.

Tears welled up in his eyes and finally slid down his cheeks...
