Ultimate Assassin System

Dongcheng District of Shanhai City, the original living area of ​​the noble class. ..., Allen, who Tang En said had not arrived, was driving the carriage himself, passing through the few castles and manors, and came to a secluded place on the outskirts. Finally, he slowed down slowly in front of the gate of a small manor .

It has to be said that, except for a few oddities, the aesthetic taste of most nobles is still trustworthy, and the living environment is naturally quite good.

For example, the current manor, although it is located in a remote area, does not occupy a large area, and the title of the previous owner is not too high. But just looking at the iron railing gates surrounded by rows of lush trees, the interesting neat grasslands, the exquisite attics located in twos and threes, and the silver belt river surrounding the manor, we can know that this place definitely passes by. Meticulously cared for, you can't help but feel relaxed and happy, and it is extremely suitable for long-term living.

However, it is a pity that this aristocratic area of ​​Dongcheng, which is usually luxurious and exquisite, and where idlers are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving to peep, is now a truly dead place where no one sets foot. Desolate and desolate, there are flowers blooming in full bloom in the empty space, but no one can appreciate them, so they can only end up with a sad fate of self-pity.

This situation is naturally abnormal, but it is also understandable. It's not that there are no people in the gray army who are tempted here, especially those high-level officers who are self-sufficient and hardworking. These majestic castles, luxurious manors, etc. in front of them are quite attractive to most of them who come from poor and humble backgrounds.

However, neither the leader Josiah nor the army commander Frey had the slightest intention of moving here since entering the city. And they didn't move, no matter how hard the high-ranking officers scratched their hearts, they naturally didn't dare to move, they could only watch helplessly.

So at the end. Live here now. It turned out to be the few nobles who did not abandon their homes and run away for various reasons, and were brought out for trial because they had no crimes.

certainly. Under everything, there are always exceptions. For example, in the small manor that Alan pushed the door to enter right now, there is a new owner who has a lot to do with the Gray Army...

Stepping on the meadow, passing through the attic, and turning onto the path in the back garden, Allen, who was walking quickly all the way, did not slow down until he reached the small river behind the manor.

Look around. The gurgling water and the rushing sound. A few large and small wooden houses that are obviously newly built, not very elegant but strong enough, just stand on the side of the river so grandiosely, which obviously does not match the elegant atmosphere here.

However, Alan, who looked a little anxious and irritable, naturally had no time to take care of these at this time. After a short pause, he wanted to step towards the largest wooden house where there was some movement. at this time,

Cough cough...cough cough... With repeated coughs, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and black dust and dust gas gushed out instantly. Immediately afterwards, a figure covering his face with his hands and with disheveled hair rushed out of it quickly, looking really embarrassed.

Uh. Sister Lena... Huh, Alan? Why are you here?

Allen, who stepped forward, just had a face-to-face meeting with the rushing figure, and both of them stopped at the same time, looking at each other, both of them couldn't help being taken aback. The latter was pleasantly surprised to see Alan here, and Alan did not expect to reunite with each other in this way after a long absence.

That's right, it was Lena who rushed out of the house. That is, the former Laiyan City Nightingale, later the Alchemy Master of the Yatang Chamber of Commerce, and now the important founding hero of the Gray Army!

In particular, the latter's status and achievements have earned her the respect and love of almost everyone in the Gray Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that, except for the leader Josiah and the old Marshal Omon who retired to recuperate, her status in the Gray Army is no longer considered by others, and she is almost on the same level as the commander Frey.

It was also for this reason that when she saw that the terrain surrounded by the river was suitable for alchemy experiments, Josiah gave her the special approval of the manor without any hesitation, and other high-ranking officers did not dare to say anything about it. Any complaints against...

Sister Lina, are you alright? Allen, who came back to his senses, hurried forward to ask.

It's okay, ahem... It's just a small operating error, it's normal. Lina waved her hand calmly, signaling Alan not to approach her dusty self, then raised her hand and took off the mask covering her face, shaking, looking Looking at Alan who was beside him with a concerned face, she smiled gently, her white teeth were like jade, Long time no see, Alan. I heard that you are engaged, um, is that the Annika I saw last time? She is a Good girl, congratulations.

Uh...thank you. Alan heard a few traces of imperceptible bitterness on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting, and then his expression returned to the anxiety he had when he first came. After hesitating for a while, he still said in a deep voice, Sister Lina , you have also received the invitation.

With a slight pause in her arms, Lina turned her head and glanced at Allen, who was expressing dissatisfaction, slowly retracted the mask in her palm, nodded, and replied lightly: Got it, you are here for this too? It just so happens that my experiment has reached a critical point. At that time, if you can’t get away, you won’t go, and you can give them a blessing for me.” After calmly speaking, he turned around and left.

Sister Lina! Allen clenched his fists suddenly, stepped forward, and his expression suddenly became extremely excited, Maybe there are some things I shouldn't say, but...you should fight!

The back was slightly stagnant, and Lina raised her head, as if exhaling lightly. Then he turned sideways, watched Allen pointing to his dusty coat, with a gentle smile, Let me tidy up and make you a cup of tea.

...

A moment later, under an old bent willow by the river, a small wooden table with short legs was used as a tea table.

The tea is very ordinary. When it enters the throat, it is first light and astringent, then slightly sweet. It's a pity that Alan, who was impatient, couldn't wait for the slightly sweet taste to turn up. After pouring down a cup of tea, he eagerly persuaded again: Sister Lina, I know your heart for Mr. Since the first meeting in Laiyan City After a few years of dating, don't you just give up so willingly...

Or else? He squeezed the black porcelain tea cup between his fingers, as if he was pinching a thin flower petal. Lina's expression was neither sad nor happy, without complaint or sorrow, as if she was talking about what happened to others, her tone was extremely flat, You asked me to fight, but how can I fight? Go and tell him that I like him? Heh, he doesn't even know... Or, just ran to the wedding venue for no reason and made a fuss, making people watch a lunatic mess around?

Well……

Alan, Miss Lena, thank you for your kindness. Really. Nodding and chuckling. Then shook his head and sighed. But my identity... is dirty, not worthy of his...

Suddenly receiving the news of Tang En and Josiah's marriage, Ellen who hurried over was only thinking of standing up for Lina, but he ignored an important issue, that is, the teacher is born without a name. This is not a case of a heartless scumbag or a mistress who is in the top position. From the beginning to the end, Lina was only in love with one another, and she never took any action at all, and she didn't even say anything about it. In this way, what position should we fight for?

But after being dazed for a while, when Allen heard Lina's last sigh, his expression suddenly became agitated, and with a bang, he slammed his fist heavily on the wooden table, Dirty? Who dares to say you are dirty! No, Sister Lina, did someone say something weird and mentioned your past? Tell me who it is... By the way, Josiah is from Laiyan City. Is it her? What the hell am I...

Alan! Seeing Alan's suddenly more ferocious expression, Lena couldn't help being taken aback. Then he frowned and drank in a low voice.

Whew... Panting heavily, Allen raised his hand and tugged on his collar, calming down a little, I'm sorry, Miss Lena. You are the best woman in the world, and I don't allow anyone to insult you. So I, so I...

I understand, I understand. Leaning forward and caressing Alan's violently heaving shoulders, Lena said softly, Thank you Alan, let's have a sip of tea first...

No, you don't understand, Sister Lena, you will never understand! With a tone of excitement and regret, Allen's face was flushed, and his hands were twisted fiercely under the table, I, I, I... I am... ...I'm not...I like Miss Lina...

I know, you like sister Lina.

It's not that I like it, no, it's not that kind of liking, I, alas...

Hehe... Seeing Alan who was incoherent and hesitant to speak, like ants on a hot pot, Lina couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling a few times, then pressed Alan's shoulder again with more force, Sister Lina really understands Yes, you like me, don't you?

This time the word like was obviously bitten a little bit harder, revealing a little different meaning.

Allen understood, and the excited expression just now died down instantly. He bowed his head and lowered his waist, like a child who stole candy and was discovered by an adult, and his figure shrank a little: Yuan, it turns out that Sister Lina...you know ah?

Hehe, my silly brother, have you forgotten your sister's previous experience? Although it is not glorious, it has also exercised my ability to perceive words and emotions.

Am I acting so obvious? Subconsciously scratching his head, Alan lowered his head and smiled wryly, So, sister Lina, you have already discovered it? Haha, no wonder you stayed in the Gray Army and didn't want to return to business. Tuan... I'm sorry, Sister Lina, I made things difficult for you.

Shaking his head frankly, I can't say how early. Although I noticed it at first, it's not easy to confirm it. Until later, when you came to me with your lover Annika who was somewhat similar to my sister, I Only then did I really confirm... Silly brother, don't do this kind of thing in the future. Then Annika is a good person and treats you very well. You can't let the other party down, otherwise my sister won't let you go.

...Okay, Sister Lena, I will definitely marry her. Allen nodded bitterly in response, although he didn't say it explicitly, but they both knew that this was a tactful way to clarify the relationship.

Lina nodded: Well, that's it. It's getting late, you should go back to the wedding.

But... Miss Lina, what are you going to do?

No need to do anything. I drink tea alone, read ancient books, do experiments, and occasionally tinker with a few small alchemy gadgets. It's pretty good, isn't it?

Lina said it calmly, even satisfied, but Allen felt more and more distressed when he heard the words: Since this is the case, sister Lina, you might as well try...try to forget Mr.

Forget? Why... that won't make me better. Lina spread her hands, I don't need to forget him, and I won't forget him. It's the same for him if he wants to, because I am so light to him, so It’s insignificant, just like this cup of astringent weak tea that cleanses the stomach after a meal. He doesn’t need to think about it all the time, as long as he takes a sip once in a while to change the taste... For me, it is the greatest blessing.”

With an undisguised joy at the end of the words, and the gurgling water, the atmosphere here became silent for a while. After a while, Allen got up and bowed, then turned and strode away.

After leaving the gate of the manor and driving the carriage back the way he came, he couldn't help but turn his head. Through the gap between the iron railings, he vaguely saw the figure of Lina sitting in the same place, under the bent old willow, drinking tea for himself, enjoying the gentle breeze. drink. Then he turned his head, as if he saw it, and waved his hand to this side, he should be smiling...

When Allen raised his hand, the rows of trees along the road were already separated in the middle, and just like that, we never saw each other again...

…………

(ps: This chapter made Tanuki feel a little bit stuck. After checking and sending it, he sat on the chair blankly, thinking a lot, probably about the regret of his first love, the bitterness wrapped in a little bit of insignificant happiness...

I don't know what to say, and I don't know what to say... In this case, let's break the news.

Tanuki confessed that in the original outline, the role of Lena was not written much, or more precisely, she should have received a lunch box before the end of the first volume. The reason is that some seniors told civet cats that NTR is the most taboo in writing, and it is not allowed to touch the edge, especially the supporting characters who interact with the protagonist are taboo to have characters like prostitutes. So according to the original plot, Lena should die in Bevin's hands, so Tang En would have ample reason to get mad and run away with murder...

This idea is very firm.

But then Tanuki still kept Lena, only to hurt her. The reason is also very simple, that is, Tanuki paid a lot of attention to the book review area during that time, and for beginners, he paid special attention to other people's opinions. In the end, I saw a book friend, with an extremely positive tone, specifically said what the civet cat had forgotten, probably 'the plot is too simple, and it is clear that Lina will definitely die! '

For some reason, the civet cat became popular when he saw this, and his rebellious psychology caused troubles, so he immediately changed the plot, and just let Lina survive... To survive is to survive, it doesn't matter, the key is the hole he dug I have to bury it. So the raccoon cat racked its brains to revise the outline, change the character design, adjust the plot, etc., etc., and finally let the living Lina have room to play...

Cover your face...

It's refreshing to be angry for a while, and it's heartbreaking to modify!

Well, Tanuki now thinks about it and feels that he was so childish at that time... (To be continued...)
