I really can't control myself

Chapter 21 Crisis
"Radnor, where's Ek?" Linton asked when he entered the door, but didn't see Ek's figure.

"Master Eck, he's... ill, and he's on Dolano's side now," Radnor said.

Linton also knew Dolano, the only person in the town with knowledge of medicine, not even a doctor. After all, there is a person in this small town who understands medicine, and everyone thinks he is a genius doctor.

"What's wrong?" Linton asked. "Is it serious?"

"Uh..." Radnor hesitated, "According to my guess, Mr. Ek should be... not sick."

"Huh?" Linton was slightly taken aback.

"Because you are missing, Master Eck, I guess he pretended to be sick because he was afraid of being implicated." Radnor said, "But the pretending is quite similar."

Linton was speechless.This world belongs to a typical feudal society, and Eke belongs to Linton's domestic servant. If Linton has an accident, of course the domestic servant will be held accountable, especially when Linton is in danger, Eke does not know where he is. This is not malfeasance.Linton also knows Eke's character. This guy is an old rogue, and it is indeed possible to do such a thing.

"How long have I been missing?" Linton asked.

"Two days, young master." Radnor said quickly.

"Two days?" Linton was stunned for a while, and he stayed there for at least eight or nine days. It's only been two days here. It seems that the time flow of the two worlds is not the same.

"Master, where have you been?" Radnor asked quickly.

"I was assassinated, chased and fled into the nearby woods, and got lost for two days." Linton said simply, this town is surrounded by wild mountains and mountains, and it can be explained by being missing for two days.

"Are you injured?" Radnor asked after looking at the blood on Linton's body.

"No, it's not my blood." Linton said casually, of course it was all his blood, but there was no wound on his body now.

"It's fine." Radnor breathed a sigh of relief.

Linton was a little moved when he saw Radnor's concern, knowing that Radnor was not his servant, and his relationship with him was almost an employment relationship.It was said before that Radnor was a member of the town guard, that is, the subordinate of Captain Kiora, who was defeated by Linton before. Why was he at Linton's house?That's because the town's finances are tight, and the city guard can't afford to support a total of 12 people, so the mayor also consulted with Linton and sent a person from the city guard to protect Linton in name, but actually eat Linton. food for the home.

"Where's the assassin?" Linton asked.

"This... After the young master was attacked, the city guards also searched, but neither the young master nor the assassin was found." Radnor said, "The mayor has also brought people around to look for the young master during the daytime these days. , but we haven't found the young master for two consecutive days, we thought that the young master was..."

Linton thought about it as well. After all, the assassin who attacked him at the beginning was a douqi boss. There was no one in the whole town who could use douqi. Even if he met him, he couldn't catch this guy.So who actually killed him?It should be related to the family. I remember that when the assassin called him before, he called him the fourth son of the Melowei family.

Linton doesn't know much about family affairs. After all, he has only been here for a month, and some information is inquired from Eke.If anyone knows anything about this matter, it may be the mayor, because this town is also the domain of the Melowei family, and the mayor is the person who governs this side, and is naturally related to the family.

Linton decided to ask the mayor about the situation. Of course, it was too late. Linton also asked Radnor a few words, and then let him go to rest.The second floor has been completely scrapped, and it is still in a mess. Fortunately, Eke is not at home, and Linton slept directly in Eke's bed for the night.

The next day, Linton was still sleeping, and soon someone came to the door.

"Master Linton, it's really good that you're fine." The person who spoke was a slightly fat middle-aged man with long curly hair that looked a little greasy.This person is the mayor of this town, Tilvin.

"Lord Tilvin." Linton also washed his face a little and greeted Tilvin, "This time it's too dangerous. Fortunately, the assassin is not familiar with the terrain here, so I have a chance to escape."

"Oh." Tilvin nodded, but it was a little strange. Linton didn't come here for a long time. He, the mayor who has worked here for more than ten years, doesn't know the terrain of the nearby barren mountains and forests. To be honest, it's really a miracle that Linton escaped.Of course, although it was a bit strange, Tyrwin didn't ask about this, but asked about the assassin's situation.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have much information to provide," Linton said. "I only know that the other party is a man, with a thin body and a mask. He can't tell his age. From what he said, it can be judged that the other party should be a professional assassin, or dead. It should be someone instructed behind the scenes.”

"..." Tilvin was silent for a while after listening.

"What's wrong?" Linton asked quickly when he saw that Tilvin seemed to have thought of something.

"You may not know it yet. Didn't I want to tell you a few things before, but I met an assassin." Tilvin said.

Linton also remembered it. Earlier, Eke said that the mayor had something to do with him, but he was attacked that night. I don't know what it was yet: "Mayor Tilvin, what's the matter?"

"One of them... Your second brother passed away a few days ago." Tilvin said.

"My second brother?" Linton was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered his second brother's name, "Landner? How did he die?"

"I heard...it was assassinated." Tilvin lowered his voice and said.

"Assassination?" Linton was stunned, he wasn't assassinated, he didn't expect his cheap second brother to be killed, he was the second.If you look at it this way, someone is definitely targeting their family, not even a marginal person like him.

"Yes, I suspect that the assassin who killed you and the one who killed your second brother were assigned by the same person." Tilvin also made a very natural reasoning.

"In other words, someone is targeting our Melloway family?" Linton said. "Where's my eldest brother, did he say anything?"

"This... I haven't heard of it. I'm not qualified to know about this matter. I'm still listening to the rumors about Lord Landner." Tilvin said.

"Well..." Linton nodded slightly. If he had been before, he might have been a little panicked, but now he has spent a lot of points to strengthen a wave. At present, his strength has soared, and he even wants to find someone to practice. practice.

Tilvin, who was next to him, was also observing Linton and found that this guy seemed much more stable than before.When Tilvin first met Linton before, he felt like a little autistic child, but suddenly he has become more stable recently. Now that I think about it, Tilvin thinks whether he has really awakened his grudge. , after all, he had heard about Linton defeating Kiora before.

Not awakening the grudge is Linton's biggest knot, at least Tilvin thinks so. Now that he has awakened grudge, it is normal to have a little change in personality, so Tilvin has no doubts about Linton's change.

"Then you said it was the first thing, what else?" Linton asked.

"There is one more important thing, Lord Baron asked you to go back." Tilvin said.

"Oh?" Linton was stunned for a moment. The baron here was referring to his eldest brother, Jolabo Melloway.The Merloway family where Linton belongs has a hereditary baron title. The former baron is naturally Linton's father, but at the beginning of the year, the old father died, and the person who inherited the family business was naturally the eldest sons Joe Labo, Lin Tony's brother.

Because it is the primogeniture law, Qiao Labo inherited all the family property, and the other brothers, it can be said that they have no money.If this eldest brother thinks of some family affection, he can give you something, but the problem is... Linton is a shame of the family, and no one likes it.

Yes, I'm 19 years old this year, and I haven't awakened my grudge yet. If it's an ordinary civilian, that's fine.But in the aristocratic circle, such people are called trash.The previous Linton had a bad relationship with several brothers, and of course he would not give him anything. In short, Linton was sent to this kind of border town like exile.Of course, that was the previous Linton, and when the current Linton took over, it was already here.

So in fact, the current Linton has only heard the names of several brothers, and has never met.Saying that the second brother is dead, he has no fluctuations at all, after all, he has never seen it before.

By the way, the only thing this eldest brother left to Linton is a leather workshop, which is the property of the Mellowei family. Of course, this kind of border town cannot be that kind of big factory. The whole workshop only has 5 workers. , The output is barely enough to keep Linton alive.But now the mayor has stuffed someone to come over for food, plus being extorted, Linton's life can't go on.

So the question is, why does this big brother who doesn't look down on him want to leave food for himself?Of course Linton didn't understand it before, but now Linton has guessed it very clearly, that is... After all, he is still somewhat useful.This is the use of... blood.

Yes, although it is a waste, but after all, it is a member of the Melowei family, and it is still possible to take it out for marriage.Of course, I also knew that it could not be a good marriage partner. It could be an old widow from someone’s family, it could be some ugly freak that nobody wanted, and it could even be mentally retarded.

At present, Linton is 19 years old, and he has already passed the marriageable age (he can get married at the age of 15), and the reason why he has never been married... That's why no one wants it. Who wants this waste?When his father was there, he could help Linton to think about it, but when the elder brother was in the position, he became a real marriage tool, so this time, when he heard that he should go back, the first thing that Linton was nervous about was this issue.
