Great Elf Sage

In a remote corner of the affluent area of ​​Kailong, in the bathroom of Julian's house, Julian was lying comfortably in the bathtub. .

Just when Julian was about to fall asleep in the bathtub after being relieved from the fatigue of a day's running, the sounds coming into his ears suddenly became clear.

"……Um?"

When Julian opened his eyes, he didn't realize that his physical and mental fatigue had disappeared. At this time, his attention was focused on the sounds coming from outside the bathroom.

There were sounds of boxes and wardrobes being opened and closed. Was a thief coming in?

Julian slightly unscrewed the drain outlet of the bathtub, letting a continuous sound come from the drainage pipe. Then he quickly and quietly put on his pants, and then put on a leather armor that was in the bathroom and was about to be washed. He walked quietly to the bathroom door and listened to the sounds outside.

"This is... came to my bedroom... bad! He found those boxes... wait, there is another person!"

Julian became very calm for some reason and was not as irritable as usual. He decided to confirm the general situation outside before going out.

"My sword is leaning against the corner outside the bathroom. That position is sandwiched between two people. I'm usually so careless!"

After a while, the people who came from behind also entered Julian's bedroom, and the two people in the bedroom started talking.

When the two started talking, Julian quietly left the bathroom and picked up his sword.

Julian, who quietly came to the bedroom door, happened to hear the conversation between the two.

"...the thing about the Knox family..."

"...Hurry up and open it..."

Julian's pupils shrank, these two people were not thieves, but came for him, or in other words, they came for the Knox family!

……

In the bedroom, Andrew, who had evil intentions, finally opened the box and saw the strange dagger in the box.

"How's it going, Andrew?" Leo asked after seeing nothing strange happened.

"This... Master Leo, I don't know if this is that thing. You'd better confirm it yourself." Andrew, who had his back to Leo, said doubtfully.

"Oh? Haha, just give it to me, Andrew." Leo was completely unmoved.

"...Yes, Master Leo." Andrew's tone was a little bitter.

Reaching out and taking out the weird dagger from the box, Andre stood up holding it in both hands and turned to hand it to Leo.

After seeing the shape of the weird dagger, Leo knew that this was probably what he was looking for.

"There is no mistake. The ancestors of the Sullivan family have always been the guards of the Knox family. The records left by their ancestors describe this thing... There is no mistake! The appearance is exactly the same!"

Leo stepped forward impatiently, stretched out his free left hand to grab the weird dagger.

When Leo grabbed the strangely long hilt of the strange dagger with his left hand, a sudden change occurred!

An Andreu's eyes turned sharp with a bitter look on his face, and his right hand holding the sword suddenly stretched out, and there was a piece of metal with a faint light in the palm of his hand that had just been blocked by the sword.

Leo was caught off guard and his left hand was scratched by a metal piece, and blood spattered out instantly.

"you!"

Leo swung the white sword forward with his right hand, but Andrew, who was well prepared, jumped back and avoided the blow.

Although he avoided contact with the sword blade, the white air on the sword passed over Andre's chest, and a sudden chill invaded Andrew's body.

"Andrew!"

The angry Leo raised his sword and was about to strike at Andrew, who was affected by the cold. However, before he could raise the sword, Leo felt weak all over his body. Not only did the sword fail to strike, he even staggered under his feet. , the whole person couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

"Ha! Haha! Ha!" Andrew, who was still shivering, couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong, Master Leo? Do you feel weak all over, or even so sleepy that you want to fall asleep immediately?"

Andrew, who gradually recovered, pulled out a small knife from his arms and walked towards Leo, who was kneeling on the ground and could no longer hold the sword.

"Master Leo, don't blame me. I just don't want to be this damn butler all my life and never get ahead... As long as I have strength, power and wealth, I will definitely build a higher-standard building for you when the time comes. of the tomb.”

Andrew bent down and grabbed Leo's hair with his right hand to lift his head, which was hanging weakly.

While admiring the helpless and frightened expression of his former master, Andrew noticed through the contact of his right hand that Leo's originally relaxed muscles suddenly tightened.

Before he had time to think about it, Andrew wiped the knife in his left hand hard against Leo's neck, but it was too late. A long sword glowing with white gas had already penetrated his heart.

Standing up, Leo spat on Andre, who was almost unable to move.

"Bah, a bitch like you still wants to beat me? You really underestimate people with extraordinary power!"

Leo, who had sensed something was wrong after being caught by the metal piece, simply resorted to a trick and pretended to be completely powerless. After attracting Andrew to get closer, the 'qi' in Luck's body was thrust out with a sword to decide the victory.

"But this poison is still a bit troublesome. I won't be able to suppress it after a while... Hmm, what's the sound? Oh no, I forgot about that boy named Knox!"

Hearing the movement behind him, Leo didn't have time to think too much, and hurriedly pulled out the sword stuck in Andrew's body and swung it behind him.

Leo, who had just swung the sword, suddenly felt weak again.

"Damn! I can't suppress this poison..."

An old sword tip full of gaps and even some bends emerged from his chest. Leo was filled with reluctance, but could no longer do anything, and his consciousness quickly fell into darkness.

Julian, who let go of the sword hilt and watched Leo's body fall on Andrew's body, felt a little strange in his heart.

Why would I want to kill these two people? According to my own habits, shouldn't I pretend not to see it and let them take the things away?

With the blessing of 'absolute sanity', Julian did not struggle with this issue. He knew clearly that the first priority now was to clean up the scene. From the conversation he just heard, he already knew that the person he killed was a noble. Now he will deal with this situation. If it's not good, it will cause big problems.

Moreover, Leo's last swing of the sword just now had already scratched his own body. The worn leather armor could not withstand the sharp sword at all. The sword left a deep wound on his chest that was visible to the bone.

……

above the sky.

"As the saying goes, when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions... Now all he needs to do is 'work his muscles and bones' and 'walk Just mess up what he did, and you can become the Chosen One~"

Nolan looked down with satisfaction.

Chris looked at Nolan. She couldn’t understand the words “bitterness”, “body skin”, “emotion”, etc., but she could still understand the first sentence, so she asked:

"Nolan, do you regard yourself as God?"

"Of course not, I'm just a philanthropic old man." Nolan was in a good mood and told Chris some jokes that she didn't understand.

"Grandpa? Then am I not a grandma?" Chris tilted her head.

"Ahem, Miss Chris, this kind of words will be understood as confession in human society. You have to be reserved like a girl. You can't say this kind of words casually in the future..."

"What are you talking about? Nolan, if I confess to you, I would have done it many times." Chris was very puzzled.

Nolan almost fell down.

I was having so much fun that I forgot that I and Chris were in some kind of wonderful relationship. It would be troublesome if this topic was brought up...
