Mu Yang had no intention of taking that person.

Just to scare them.

He knew that the two men were only here to carry out a mission at the [servant’s] command.

Fortunately, the [servant] was sensible and the task given was just surveillance.

If Linni and Linnit showed murderous intentions towards Mu Yang.

That's another story.

The two 'Mu Yang' merged into one and said to Lin Ni and the others.

“Lead the way, I want to see your [father].”

The two of them saluted respectfully, then led Mu Yang to Mojie Station.

The three of them were going to take the patrol boat back to Fontaine.

There was a faint smile on Mu Yang's face.

Linnet just thought the smile was cold.

But there is no longer the terrifying feeling of oppression that I had just felt.

How long has it been since you experienced this feeling?

It seems that since I got the Eye of God, I have never experienced such a powerless scene again.

When Mu Yang targeted her, she was really a little scared.

What Linnet fears most is becoming a burden to her brother.

After going through so much, she doesn't want to just be the one being protected.

The patrol ship has arrived.

It was clearly the evening rush hour, but there were only three people on the boat, which was rare.

Mu Yang seemed to be talking to Lin Ni about magic.

It seems to be called something like The Prestige, and it's about a pair of twins.

Linnet didn't really listen.

Her thoughts drifted back to the past, and she actually fell asleep leaning on Linny.

Mu Yang fell silent and stopped discussing with Lin Ni.

The little girl stared at him for most of the day and must be exhausted.

You won’t have a nightmare after being scared like this, right?

Linnet was indeed dreaming.

In her dream, she returned to the days when she wandered with her brother.

During those dark days when I moved back and forth between the city streets and the aristocratic mansions.

Her brother is her only support.

Until [the father] rescued the two and brought them back [home].

Linnet didn't know why she had this dream.

Is it because I almost lost my brother just now?

Or did I become the one being protected by my brother again?

In her dream, Linnet looked at her tiny self and Linny.

The two knew that the opportunity [their father] brought had to be seized.

They endured rigorous training and supported each other to complete countless missions.

Reality has worn away the innocence of childhood early on.

The dream suddenly jumped.

Linnet remembered where this place was.

A mountain retreat of a Fontaine nobleman.

Two people were sent here to perform magic.

The real purpose is to seize the opportunity to steal the target's criminal evidence hidden in the study.

The task itself was ordinary enough, and the two of them carried it out very smoothly.

Linnet took advantage of the performance to tamper with the doors and windows of the villa.

Wait until his performance is over and then sneak back in to steal the evidence without anyone noticing.

"Three, two, one." Linnett counted down to herself.

Because she had experienced all of this before, it was just a replay in her dream.

Three flames lit up in the forest outside the window - those were the [family members] on standby passing on information.

Three flames correspond to the worst possible situation:

The Law Enforcement Court has already set its sights on this target and has even sent people to the door.

If they evacuated along the original route at this time, they would most likely run into the Law Enforcement Court head-on.

Once their use of the magician's identity to carry out missions was exposed.

Not only will you be doomed, but your family members may also be implicated.

The noise outside the door was getting louder and louder. If they wanted to evacuate as quickly and stealthily as possible, they had no choice but to take risks.

Linnet and Linny looked at each other without saying a word, then held each other's hands tightly and jumped out of the window.

The villa is built on the mountain, with a cliff outside the window and a turbulent river below.

"Snapped--"

That was the splash of water hitting Linnie's back.

Before falling into the water, he tried his best to withstand the impact with his shoulders.

Once again, she protected Linnet.

The violent impact engulfed his consciousness.

In panic, little Linnet grabbed a piece of driftwood and dragged her unconscious neighbor ashore, coughing up water.

Enduring the burning pain in her lungs, little Linnet nervously checked Linny's condition.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he no longer had his former spirit.

Linnet, who was watching from the side, probably knew why she had this dream.

After so many years, she still remembers the loneliness and fear...

"We've arrived."

Linnie's voice and gentle shaking pulled Linnett out of her dream.

The two of them took Mu Yang to the Buffati Mansion.

Along the way, the three of them didn't speak.

Mu Yang found that Linnite didn't dare to look at him the whole time.

I complained in my mind, "Is this really a nightmare?"

The servants' reception room at the Buffati Mansion.

In front of outsiders, [the father] did not say much to blame.

Instead, he let Linny and Linnet go downstairs to rest first.

Perhaps, when she sent the two people out, she already knew the result.

Otherwise, why would they only send these two best children?

The two walked out of the study, and Linnie smoothed his sister's hair, feeling a little guilty.

He thought that his sister would never have to experience such separation of life and death again in this life.

But I didn't expect that I was still too weak after all.

"Idiot brother."

"Ok?"

Linnet gave Linnie a little pink punch.

Then she ignored him and went back to her room to rest.

Linnet lay on the bed and took out the Eye of God.

The follow-up to the dream just now is related to this thing.

Linnet's fear comes from her own weakness and helplessness.

She didn't want to just wait in shelter, didn't want to just shiver in the dark.

She hopes that she and Linnie can always work together to overcome difficulties.

Perhaps it was because of Mu Yang's hunting that made her recall this fear.

That's probably why I had this dream.

The follow-up to that incident was:

Linnet held Linnie's hands tightly and lifted him onto her shoulders.

Her eyes could no longer see the way forward.

But she still has ears.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to every sound of the wind.

The sound of wind blowing through tree branches, through bushes, and across cheeks...

Gradually, a blurry landscape appeared before her eyes.

Linnet groped her way forward in the darkness, the thorns along the way prickling her skin.

The seeping blood stained the red collar.

The scenery in front of me began to become clearer and clearer.

I don’t know if it’s because my ears have adjusted to the sound of the wind or my eyes have adjusted to the darkness.

Her steps became more swift and firm.

On this stage without lights, in this performance without any applause.

Linnett finished her solo.

She doesn't just rely on her brother's protection -

The Eye of God appeared as the "performance" came to an end.

This is the proof of all this.

She is an assistant, a partner, and a sister.

The two can fight side by side.

She can do many things for Linnie that she couldn't do before.

Lying on the bed, Linnet looked at the flickering Eye of the Wind Elemental God in her hand.

Was this something [Father] had deliberately arranged?

I'm afraid only [the servant] himself can answer this.

At this moment in the reception room, the [servant] was pouring tea for Mu Yang.

“Is black tea the only option?”
