call out.

A black figure appeared in the three-foot-deep pothole from the height of the fortress's entrance with a moving speed that made a sharp sound.

Clang, clang.

The crisp sound of shattering the icicles with three strikes exploded in the pedestrian pothole, and the "another intruder" carried the assassin who was unconscious and might die at any time on his back, and jumped in front of everyone's eyes. Suddenly, he took out a dark green round pill and threw it on the ground forcefully. After a "bang" sound, a large cloud of gray-black smoke was quickly ejected from the pill, covering the entire hall.

"Wow, what is this?"

"Poison gas? Or pepper?"

"Could it be the black smoke made by the fire magician?"

"Hold your breath!"

A group of nobles who had never seen black smoke immediately panicked and hurriedly searched for the entrance of the hall, pushing each other while wearing beautiful dresses, eager to leave this hall that was probably a dead space.

"It's a smoke bomb from the kingdom of swords."

Except for the young head of the Lei family, the rest of the experienced senior executives who have often experienced battlefields immediately noticed what this thing was.

Not only is it highly efficient to cover people's sight, but it can also make people feel oppressed and suffocated in a confined space. It is almost a perfect tool after deducting the fact that there is no harm. Even the Magic Kingdom once wanted to go to A copy of this "common weapon in the kingdom of swords".

"Wind, turn."

The king, who understood that it was only a cover-up effect, subsided the unnecessary wind wall, and changed the magic molecules on the wind wall into a strong gust of wind, using the wind as a thrust to blow all the black smoke out of the fortress hole.

In a blink of an eye, the black smoke disappeared, and the sight and breathing could be performed normally. The nobles who were full of fear and clamor seemed to calm down. Their barbaric behavior also stopped, and they all turned their attention to the highest authority in the Magic Kingdom.

"Run away."

I didn't have time to pay attention to these nobles, and my eyes were fixed on the position of the two assassins. The figure that should have been there has disappeared under the eyes.

Confirming this regrettable fact, without much exclamation or anger, the king kept his usual calm, turned his head and spoke to the family elders beside him.

"Suspend the wedding and send your family's troops to find the two criminals. Even if you die, you need to see the corpse."

Utilizing his authority as a king, issuing such an order is actually a request of "begging for help".

His Majesty the King is indeed the highest position in the Magic Kingdom, but he has no authority to order the head of the family, and only uses verbal requests to hope that the head of the family can help.

However, it is obvious that disrupting the wedding is a serious crime. In addition, the venue has been destroyed to the point of ruins, and it is impossible to continue the wedding. This is not only the head of the Bing family, but also the former head of the Lei family whose fortress was destroyed.

The only head of the Huo family who was not affected at all, and was even happy with the result, did not make much rebuttal, and chose to act according to the king's request.

There is no other reason, and it is purely for the consideration of the future situation that they will help. After all, the only choice to be an alliance with the Feng family is the best policy.

As for the results of the two assassins creating a good show for the head of the Huo family, he didn't care at all. There was no need to protect the criminals. It should be said that the head of the Huo family was the one who needed to be crusaded the most.

This will not only clear away the suspicion of using money to buy mercenaries, but also win the favor of the head of the Feng family, which is the best choice no matter how you look at it.

"The direction is in the northeast, so I will be able to thank the heads of the various families."

The king used the wide and fast characteristics of wind magic to easily obtain the whereabouts of the two assassins. The information that Scattered learned was then moved outside the entrance of the fort with wind magic and disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

Not to be outdone, the other family heads used their respective magic skills to move from the fastest path. Only the former Lei family head stayed where he was, and asked all the guests at the wedding to go back to their own territory.

The wedding was a complete failure in principle.

"It was really my mistake to let the nobles down today. I will definitely come to apologize in the future. Now, please send everyone away."

At least one master is needed to end the fortress, and the former head of the Lei family considers himself such a candidate, with much better experience and attitude than the head of the Lei family.

He tapped twice to summon the guards and stewards, and these servants entertained the nobles to leave, while he stayed at the entrance of the hall, watching the slow movement of the guests in the hall with a smile that he should have.

"Ugh."

Until there was no "guest" in the hall, the former head of the Lei family couldn't help but sigh softly.

It's not just the pressure from fatigue, but a large part of it is because of the trouble caused by that assassin.

"The former patriarch."

Except for the butler and the guards, there was only Yan Bing Yaluosen who was standing by his side with a blank expression on his face.

In terms of strength, Yan should have acted with the family heads who went out to summon soldiers and horses to find the enemy just now, but the dress on his body is not suitable for fighting, and coupled with the lack of intelligence, he may be surrounded by many people , traps and other dilemmas.

As the eldest daughter of the Ice family in the Magic Kingdom, and as a candidate for the bridge between the two families, dangerous situations are absolutely not allowed.

It is also reasonable and reasonable to consider one's own status and not go to battle.

"The butler and the guards retreat first."

It is not for this "future daughter" to go back to her room to rest first, but to let the subordinates around her leave and create a time to spend alone with Yan.

Although Yan had an unshakable iceberg expression on his face, he did have doubts in his heart.

No matter what point was considered, he hadn't done any wrong behavior that required a private conversation.

After confirming that his subordinates had left and closed the door, the former head of the Lei family used his right foot as the main support point, found a barely intact wooden chair in the ruins, and sat down.

This is the situation where the former head of the Lei family "did not cast lightning attribute magic". His left foot was slightly paralyzed after years of fighting in the battlefield. It is because of this that the current head of the Lei family was still young.

The former head of the Lei family has always had walking problems. Only his closest biological son, direct blood, and an expert in wind magic who can see everything—no one else knows about it except Lin Tian and Zi, including the closest Family subordinates.

Usually, he can rely on his own thunder-attribute magic to make his walk look normal and stable. He claims that the reason for passing the position is the degradation of his own strength, and completely conceals the fact that he has a disease.

But now, he was unreservedly exposed to Yan Bing Ya Luosen, who was an enemy family.

"The former patriarch?"

Seeing this scene for the first time, puzzlement and exclamation all appeared on his face.

If it were normal, Yan would have been mentally prepared that no accident would shake his heart, but the person who made such a "weird situation" before him was the former head of the family above all others, which still made Yan feel uneasy. Can't hide the panic in my heart.

Especially the head of the Lei family who "rarely makes jokes".

"This represents my trust in you. Next it's your turn."

"May I ask what the previous patriarch meant?"

Shaking his head slightly, he was slightly dissatisfied with this rhetorical question, but there was no reason to be unhappy about it. The former family head chose to make this unnecessary explanation.

"You are a member of the Bing family, but from now on you are also a member of the Lei family. The name Yan Bing Ya Luosen will always exist, and you will also have the name Yan Wantianyan. We are willing to let you exist. Your surname, this is the greatest respect between our two clans.”

After a pause to rest his throat, the head of the family continued after a second.

"In addition to goodwill, I also personally appreciate your talent and talent, and I am willing to trust you, so you also need to show due sincerity."

The slightly low-pitched old voice continued to reverberate in the hall, and at the end it was more like the thrill and loudness brought by lightning, as if the hall could not bear the cracks and shaking.

"It's... the head of the family."

Like a criminal who has experienced severe torture, his originally fair and pink cheeks suddenly turned into a pale and bloodless expression, and he just fell to his knees on the ground in a daze.

She had no intention of denying it or pretending to be stupid. She knew exactly who she was facing. It was undoubtedly a foolish act to insist on an untenable position at this time.

Just a few words broke the iceberg on Yan's face, and the head of the family smiled faintly, trying to relieve the tense atmosphere that was so tense to death.

"When you call me the head of the family, it represents your loyalty, and the rest is only sincerity. You are a member of our family, and no outsiders are present, so you can tell the truth. In fact, I have no right to shake what has become a fact. Alliance of two races."

From the soft and gentle resolute face at all, it released unexpected kindness, and all the things that Yan worried about were eliminated-the standard rhetoric of both soft and hard.

"The assassin."

"stop."

"Family head?"

When he was about to blurt out all the things he knew, he was immediately stopped by the former head of the Lei family.

"No one knows about your identity. At least we can't tell you about it. Others have to tell you about it. What I really want to know is, are you really prepared to be a bridge between the two families?"

"Yes."

He answered without hesitation. As early as several days ago, within 24 hours a day, Yan spent most of the time hypnotizing his identity and dealing with various problems.

Yan was able to answer questions like this that were expected as early as possible.

"Very well, then if you encounter an assassin, can you kill him without hesitation?"

"can."

It is still a question that can be easily dealt with, and it is a "question that has been practiced tens of thousands of times."

"Then please hone your mind even more, don't hesitate like just now."

As if seeing through Yan's heart, Yan couldn't use any words to make the same quick response as before. He could only keep silent and nodded slightly, thinking about what flaw he had just now.

"Your hesitation is not an action, but an expression of your heart."

"Please explain to the head of the family."

"The magicians of the Ice family are good at using water as a medium to activate magic, that is, the temperature will definitely drop, and at that time, didn't you collect "warm water droplets" from the corners of your eyes? "

"..."

"It's good that the temperature drops rapidly, but the control still seems rusty. The flaws in the heart cannot be discovered by the wind family and the fire family. You need to exercise hard."

"Yes."

Although he was puzzled by "why this fact was discovered", Yan chose to bow his head obediently, tense up and accepted the lectures of the former head of the family with a teachable heart.

"Remember, if you see this assassin again afterwards, even if you are only suspected, you must kill him without hesitation. These are all for the sake of the future."

After finishing speaking, the former head of the Lei family quietly closed his eyes, immersed in his own thoughts.

2 minutes……

5 minutes……

There was no movement at all, as if he was really asleep.

Click.

Just as the dead silence was sinking in the hall, there was a faint sound of fingers tapping on the wooden door at the gate.

After deducting the guests who had already left and the nobles who had gone to chase the criminals, only the exclusive servants, stewards and guards of the Lei family remained.

Yan glanced at the head of the Lei family who still hadn't opened his eyes, turned his head and said "come in" softly.

Seeing a servant wearing a housekeeper's uniform with his hands clinging to his waist, bowing his head respectfully, he quickly moved to a distance of three meters in front of Yan.

"Excuse me, butler, what should I do at this time?"

"Yes, it's the master's rest time, please go back to your room and rest."

"Sit here and rest?"

"Yes, the master does not have a fixed room to rest, and his body is protected by lightning attribute magic, any touch will be damaged."

"Thunder magic that activates even when you're asleep?"

"Yes."

"I understand."

It is understood that this butler is one of the servants in the Lei family who has a certain degree of power, and can be said to be the chief of the highest position in the butler family.

The Lei family's trust in this butler is even far higher than that of Yan who was born in the Bing family, which means that Yan has enough reasons to believe the butler's statement.

Following what the housekeeper said, Yan Mai left the hall and headed for his room.

At the same time, the words "think about the future" and the message "need to eliminate that assassin" from the former head of the family kept appearing in his mind.

"I have made up my mind. I must not hesitate. I must not hesitate. I need to eliminate it decisively and quickly."

Moving from the aisle to the room, from the servants taking off their gowns, taking a shower to finally going to bed, these words never left Yan's mouth.

Repeat it, stuffing your ears and your mind into this sentence.
