Jill left Tyrande at the escape speed of being hunted.

Riles originally planned to arrive in Tyrande early this morning, then climb over the Simeryard Mountains that afternoon, and reach Makria in the mountains in the evening, but it was still unavoidable when passing through the Yiyun Kingdom I was delayed by those annoying bounty hunters, because it is already early autumn, and every autumn, the bounty hunters will hold this year's party in the headquarters of Liule City. Although it is a party, the real purpose is to list Looking at this year's ranking of bounty hunters, some bounty hunters arrived early because they had nothing to do, so they were inevitably entangled by one or two bounty hunters. Fortunately, they only delayed their trip for half a day.

When Jill and Riles arrived in Tyrande, it was just after noon. Riles was still a little worried about the danger of crossing the Simeryard Mountains at night, and planned to rest in Tyrande for a day, but Jill unexpectedly It is required to set off directly after going to the market to replenish the necessary things, and it does not matter even if you arrive at Marklia at night.

Although he was a little puzzled by Jill's plan to make such a hasty trip, Riles didn't object. There are Makria's eyeliner and shelters in Tyrande City. As long as you say hello to them in advance, even if you go up the mountain at night, you will be fine. It will not be killed directly by the defenders of the city.

The Simeryard Mountains are also called the barrier of the God of Time and Space. Once you cross the Simeryard Mountains, it means that you have really come to the north of Delphi in the middle continent.To the north of Simeryard, that is, the Hemea Plain where the great northern empire - Kievan Rus - is located, the Hima Plain is as endless as the sea, and the cold wind from the ice continent crosses the North Sea, blowing unscrupulously In this land, the Simeryard Mountains are like brave warriors, blocking the raging north wind with their bodies, and because of this, the two sides of the Simyard Mountains are like two heavens and earth, as if time and space have appeared Fault-like, so it is called the God of Time's barrier.

It is conceivable that not long ago you saw that Tyrande City was bustling with the bountiful harvest in autumn, and you thanked those hardworking people for their labor. At this time, the first snow fell on the other side of the mountain, and the cold wind was blowing on your face. The landscape is like a knife scraping. Because Makria is built between the Simeryard Mountains, it is relatively less affected. Although it is not yet snowing, the temperature can already be called cold.

At this time, Jill and Liles were standing on a rock not far from Makria, looking down at the city. The main part of Makria city is distributed in the river valley area of ​​Simeriad, and the buildings stretch along the Kuqiya The river is long and narrow, and the location of Makria itself is very hidden, and the cliffs on both sides make him easy to defend and difficult to attack. All military and war scholars who have surveyed Makria's landforms say that the few kings of Alasor Wan Dajun died unjustly.

"It was obviously too hot when I left." Jill said as if complaining, and tightened her hood.

"Jill has been away for a long time. When I left, it started to rain continuously. However, compared with previous years, the temperature this year has indeed dropped a little faster. Winter doesn't look so good," Riles said casually. He said, and then took a step forward: "Jill, don't you want to go? It's already morning. After returning, I have to visit the great teacher first. If we are so dawdling, Jill and I won't be able to eat lunch."

"I see." Jill sighed.

If possible, Jill would never want to meet the Grand Mentor. Knox is an excellent mentor. He has been the Grand Mentor for more than 30 years. He knows all the assassins in Marklia, and every assassin has received His teachings, that he himself had put his hand on the brow of every child born in Makria, blessed them, and he loved to laugh out loud, and mix foul language and insults in his jokes, as Zion would The members of the community regard the Great Master as their father, and he also regards every member of the Zion Society as his own child, just like an ordinary father in the world, he has not done anything enough to change the entire Zion It was a daunting task to save him or her from peril, but everyone respected him—especially Jill and Lils, whom he taught himself, whom he always called "my boys."

After Jill separated from Liers, he went straight to the residence of the Great Teacher. The Great Teacher usually lives in the most conspicuous building in Marklia. That place is called the Temple, and it is built next to the mountain wall. The place where the Grand Master will meet him is on the top floor of the temple, where there is an open-air garden, and the Grand Master Knox usually takes care of these short-lived flowers in the garden because they were born in the north, Julius That being said, where is the Great Master waiting for him.

"Come in, my child."

When Jill was hesitatingly stretching out his hand to push open the door on the top floor, Knox's voice came from inside the door. Although it was a somewhat old voice, it was still full of energy. Jill closed her eyes and pushed directly. Opening the door, a gust of cold wind mixed with wind and snow blows head-on. After passing through the long and dark passageway to the top floor, at this moment, the eyes suddenly open up. In the middle of the garden, there is a small white marble table. Knox is sitting at the table, his face is covered with wrinkles full of signs of time, but his back is still straight, just like when Jill saw Knox for the first time, Knox held him and asked him if he wanted to do the same as when he returned to Marklia, it hadn't changed at all.

"Congratulations, my child." Knox didn't look at Jill, he looked at a jug of wine on the table, and then raised his hand to pour Jill a glass. At this moment, he looked at Jill, his eyes were as gentle and kind as ever: "You have successfully completed the task of killing Anvent, and the person who kills the legend will become a legend himself. You have become famous all over the world, Jill."

"But some people hope that while I am famous, it would be better if I never come back." Jill added coldly, then walked to sit opposite Knox, and he stared at the wine glass in his hand , and gulp it down.

Knox watched Jill finish the glass of wine, and then slowly smiled and said, "It seems that there are such people, but it seems that the vicious dog you raised killed them all, didn't it? Really It's a pity that those two people are also veteran figures, and there is no one who can replace them for a while, and the Zion Society will be in turmoil for a while."

"...I thought so until I met the dean of the Academy of Magic, Anvent. Before I killed him, I had a little chat with him," Jill seemed to have not heard what Knox said , Self-care continued: "He told me that the reason why the people who killed him never came back was not because they were all dead, but because they just couldn't come back, that's all."

Knox sighed without sincerity: "I originally thought that if it was you, it would be more straightforward to act instead of listening to some boring words from a dying person. I taught you a long time ago that you are going to take The god of death who takes other people's lives is not the pastor who listens to other people's dying prayers, shut up and cut off their heads, this is the killer of our Zion Church."

"I've always been like this, so you don't want me to be the great mentor of the Zion Society, but to let Riles replace me, don't you?" Jill crossed his fingers, put them on the table, and said in a flat tone: "He is more than I'm talented, and I'm more like a killer, than me, it's more like a person from your world, isn't it?"

"No." To Jill's surprise, Knox denied his words: "That kid is worse than you, at least he's just a half-baby right now, maybe he is indeed more talented than you, but he suppressed his consciousness, He has the ability and impulse to kill, but he can't really make it to the last step. Although he is no longer a human being by nature, he thinks he is a 'human', just like a clown. If he takes over the Zion Council now, the Zion Council will be even more dangerous."

"So you think it's me who hindered him." Jill clenched her back molars.

"It's not what I think, but it's true. Can't you notice that in the entire Zion Society, the only person he is close to and yearns for is you?" Knox looked at Jill complicatedly: "Yes, yes You, it happened to be you. I did take a fancy to your talent and special system at the beginning, but your personality is very special. If it weren’t for me, you probably would never have the chance to be an assassin for the rest of your life. You would never enjoy it. The kind of person who takes the joy of other people's lives, everyone will gain a sense of superiority by killing others more or less, but you are different...but that child is yearning for you, so as long as you are alive, he will never come Come to us, as long as you live, he will always be a half-assed."

"Then why don't you just use someone else to kill me? Why did you let me go to Anvent, not to kill me, but to 'retire'?" Jill covered her forehead with one hand.

"Because I knew it would end up like this today!" Knox roared, then took a deep breath, and then let it out long.

"I knew it would end up like this today," Knox repeated, "No matter what, he refused to accept that you were dead, or even that you didn't want to return to the Society of Zion again. To find you, and the result is, you're still standing here! Still standing on the land of Makria! In plain sight!"

"He has even used those high-sounding - in fact threatening - rhetoric to announce at the every three-month meeting that only you are qualified to be the next Grand Master, and he has put Thor and Par Sergi's head was placed on the table, and the heads of the two people were not completely cooled, and the blood left even the carpet was stained red," Knox said in a low voice, "If I make it more obvious, or say Kill you directly, and now the one on the table is my head."

"But," Knox's tone changed, a smile floated on his lips: "You have to admit that he did a good job, didn't you? Only at this time, he will show such a tough and bloody side, What the Zion Society needs is such a great mentor. Those bloodthirsty lunatics, if they are not more crazy and cruel people, they will not be able to deter them at all, and you are too kind, Jill... If there is no you, yes, Without you, Lilles would undoubtedly be the best Grand Mentor."

"So I have always been just an object of your use. I thought it was strange. You obviously like Riles more, but you support me as a great mentor on the surface. Knowing that I met Anwen Te, all this is to let me Become the target of careerists like Toroll and Passage? Then you can openly use the hands of those people to kill me. Even if you fail, it doesn’t matter. Lills won’t hold grudges against you. Of course, for the final insurance, you still decided to save my life, but you hope that I will be disappointed in Zion and never come back here again, right?" Jill smiled sarcastically: "You also underestimated Riles' obsession, isn't it? Not everyone is like you, Knox, you are a lunatic at all, not everyone is like you, and you value the safety of the entire Zion Society more than anything else Heavy, even your own son can be sacrificed!"

"Shut up!" Knox roared, and the two stared at each other fiercely, sparks almost sparked in their eyes: "You don't understand anything!"

"Yes, I don't understand anything," Jill said calmly, "but what about you? The moment you destroyed me, would you think about today? Would you think that I might put a knife into you one day? head, let you die?"

"So what, your simple dream will only destroy the Zion Society, and thanks to this, I can find someone who is more suitable for this position," Knox responded coldly: "When you bring Riles back When you arrived at Marklia, didn’t you think about today? Did you think that one day I would sacrifice you and let you die for the sake of the entire Zion Society?”

The moment the voice fell to the ground was the moment when the water froze.
