Seven Shows - Chapter 8. The Nobleman

“Yes, do you want to inquire about that Lanny?”  Ye Lin turned his head and asked.

Xavier nodded: “It is said that it is a merchant, but it is actually a black trafficker. The guards of this kind of people are different from the nobles. They should not have much loyalty. Let’s get the news and take a look tonight.”

Black eats black is what’s the best!

Especially the black traffickers who have no moral or shame.

Ye Lin took out a bunch of keys from the storage bracelet and laughed, “This is a good thing!”

Fortunately, Ye Lin also put on a slightly dirty cloak when he entered the city, covering most of his appearance. Otherwise, given the conspicuousness of him and Xavier, he was afraid that he would get into trouble when he entered the city, especially in this chaotic Bit City.

When finding a place to live, it didn’t go well. They looked like children. They were spotted as soon as they stepped into a few gloomy alleys. After three or four waves of people were dealt with, they were cleaned up. Bit City provided accommodation for outsiders. There were not many inns in the city. The best and largest one in the city was expensive, so of course they won’t go there. Many taverns also had guest rooms, but Ye Lin couldn’t bear the level of filth. The walls were simply thin. It was not soundproof at all. The next door was doing some kind of vigorous exercise with some prostitute they met on the way up, and the screams were hitting his eardrums, and it wasn’t even night yet, honey!

So the two had no choice but to go out in the evening when the sky was still bright. Fortunately, the inquiry about Lanny’s affairs went smoothly. This guy Lanny was very famous throughout Bit City, because of his wealth, even the city lord was jealous!

Ye Lin thought to himself, but there are not many gold coins in his storage bracelet? It’s a lot of mess that he doesn’t know what it is. So, most of these things are by no means ordinary goods.

“This entire manor belongs to him?”  Ye Lin was speechless, even the City Lord’s Mansion was not so big, right?

Xavier moved his ears, “Well, it seems that the defense is not strict. I don’t know if it is because the master is not there.”

The two sneaked in, perhaps because the manor was too big that when they walked through the garden, they didn’t even see a patroller.

When Ye Lin was about to turn over the rockery, Xavier gave him a hand, and the two of them shrank into the shadow of the rockery. Fortunately, they were so small that they could be blocked by the small rockery.

After only a few breaths, he heard the voice.

Two guards wearing leather armors chatted and complained as they walked, and did not notice that there were two more people in the garden.

“I haven’t heard from Lord Lanney ?”

“It might be a few more days as expected.”

“Really, that great Hadriel is really hard to serve. He is all messed up in the manor. It’s messed up!”

“Be patient, I heard that this is a nobleman from the capital. It is inevitable that the requirements are a bit higher, but it is indeed a bit exaggerated to have dozens of guards guarding the outside of the house for a night’s sleep.”

“It’s not. A more demanding question, I heard that Carlotta was going crazy by him, hehe.”

“Hey, this little girl usually doesn’t look at anyone except Lord Lanny. At first, he didn’t even try to climb the thoughts of the great nobles, this is called self-sufficiency !”  As they said, the two began to discuss which of the maids in the manor had good figures and which had beautiful faces. After a few words, they opened a  conversation on the yellow cavity, Ye Lin frowned. However, the two people turned around in the garden and didn’t leave. Ye Lin looked at Xavier sideways and knew immediately that he had already moved to kill.

These two were just ordinary guards, not swordsmen, and it was not difficult to kill them.

Ye Lin frowned, and the two guards suddenly lowered their voices– “I heard that Lord Hadriel was just a downright nobleman who escaped from the capital. I wonder if it’s true?”

“Yeah, Bailey disappeared the next day. I think it’s true in all likelihood.”

“What’s the matter with that cellar? It said that no one was allowed to enter. Weren’t Atkins and the others ordered to guard the cellar? I heard the cry of children in the night. Could it be that they were making some evil magic circle???”

Ye Lin and Xavier were able to understand what they were saying. They couldn’t help but glance at each other. They didn’t expect that this manor was really tricky.

The two guards turned around in the garden again and left. Xavier whispered: “Golden Dragon Tongue is a very biased material. It is rarely seen even in the black market, but the price is not high. There are few places for this. Black dealers like Lanny shouldn’t have been interested in this kind of material that is not high in value but difficult to obtain.”

“It’s probably what the nobleman wanted.”  Ye Lin knew it all at once.

Xavier nodded, “I remember that the alchemy manuscript described all those materials. Even the most common use of the golden tongue is only to treat a rare genetic disease.”

“Forget about this, listen to them. The cellar, let’s go to the cellar first.”  Ye Lin decided immediately.

Xavier did not hesitate, leaped lightly on the rockery, glanced around and jumped down, “Go!”

Of course there were more than one cellar in such a large manor, but as long as you see where the guards were, then there was it. The cellar whose entrance was being guarded by the two guards was very clear.

There were only a few guards in the manor, probably because the nobleman Hadriel told the two guards to transfer almost all of the guards to the outside of his house. Xavier saw the owner at a glance. The density of the guards standing outside the house formed a sharp contrast with this empty manor.

So, the journey went pretty smoothly, and he didn’t even touch a person.

“It’s there.”  Xavier pointed quietly.

Ye Lin immediately saw a big guy dozing off at the door.

“Don’t kill him first, lest you startled the snake.”  Ye Lin whispered.

Xavier paused, then gave an “um”, took out a slender tube, and blew it in the direction of the guard. A flying arrow pierced the guard’s neck accurately, and he didn’t even hum. He fell down with a snort.

“If you take in the sleeping powder, you won’t wake up for a while.”  Xavier went out and kicked the heavy body of the guard. The result of frequent black eating black was that they also had a lot of mischievous stuff.

Ye Lin took the lead to walk to the cellar and looked at the heavy brass lock on the cellar door. He took out the large bunch of keys from the storage bracelet, recognized the size of the keyhole, and found the key to the lock in a short while.

With a soft “click”, the lock was unlocked.

An unpleasant smell puffed his nose, and Ye Lin’s heart suddenly sank. This smell…

Xavier frowned. As an elf, his sense of hearing and smell was originally more sensitive than that of humans.

Ye Lin took a step forward and polished the fire box. The sight in front of him made him extremely uncomfortable. After arriving in this world, he had seen all kinds of disgusting scenes that he had never thought of before. He had seen blood, he had cut people. Even the physique that had accompanied him for so many years had overcame the halo, but the picture in front of him still made him feel like his whole person was not good.

Xavier reacted faster than him. He stepped forward and checked before standing up, “It’s dead.”

Ye Lin said grimly, “Looking like this, I know it was out of breath long ago!”  Which one was still alive? He kept his eyes open for so long without blinking!

Xavier shrugged. In fact, it didn’t matter if he died or not. If Ye Lin hadn’t said that he would not deal with children, and in his words, he had great tolerance and sympathy for these weak and naive creatures, then he didn’t have any interest in checking it up.

“Hey, these two children look like nobles.”  Xavier said suddenly.

Ye Lin could see it too.

If it weren’t for the low temperature in the cellar, the two corpses in front of them that had been randomly thrown on the ground might have begun to rot, and the smell would have long been concealed.

These were two and a half-year-old children. They looked only seven or eight years old, one with black hair and black eyes, and the other with black hair and green eyes. At this time, the eyes of both of them are wide, looking at some miserable people. He knew it was an absolute nobleman, but the bloodline with green eyes might not be so pure, hey, wait a minute, green eyes! Ye Lin glanced at Xavier, the color of his eyes was really similar to Xavier.

Xavier squatted down and took a closer look. “They didn’t suffer much before they died. They probably had their necks severed.”

Judging from their clothes and their white and plump cheeks, these two children must have lived in a very wealthy environment, Ye Lin snorted coldly, thinking and knowing that it must be the sin of the nobleman named Hadriel!

Closing their eyes, Ye Lin felt a little heavy in his heart, as if only then did he really realize that he was in such a world.

Yes, how do we say in that novel, in this world, only by standing at the highest point can one enjoy true freedom. In the eyes of magicians, swordsmen, and those nobles, human lives are like ants.

So the protagonist quickly adapted to that kind of life, and never hesitated to raise his hand to kill.

But Ye Lin felt that this cold darkness made him feel suffocated.

There had never been in a moment that made him miss deeply the legal society before, even if it was not so healthy, as an ordinary person, he could still live peacefully and joyfully.

In this world, if you are too weak, you will probably be eaten so that there are no bones left. If you are blindly kind, how many steps can you take?

Ye Lin himself was not a good person. He had a serious illness when he was a child, and he was well afterwards. He was alive and kicking, but he had some sequelae. He was afraid of death. In his heart, there was nothing more important than being alive. So, he never wanted to be a hero, he just wanted to live!

“Forest.”

Ye Lin looked at Xavier’s eyes that were as clear as green crystals, and saw Xavier smile, “Just listen to you, we didn’t deal with children, but there are already two identities that we can use in front of us. They are nobles. At the age of seven or eight, as long as we hide for three or four years, there is no problem.”  He paused and added: “We can avenge them so that they won’t die without getting anything.”  In terms of his nature, the latter sentence was purely for Ye Lin.

“Yeah.”  Ye Lin replied.

Xavier saw Ye Lin’s low mood, sighed, and stripped off the clothes of the two children, and carefully packed away their belongings, especially the exact same tattoos on their waists and abdomen. Fortunately, it was not complicated. After remembering it clearly , He said, “That Hadriel didn’t know what he wanted to do, but he kept their bones, I’m afraid it’s not for good intentions.”

Ye Lin suddenly thought of some possibility, “Necromancer?”

“Isn’t Necromancer heresy in the human world??”  Xavier asked strangely.

Ye Lin smiled coldly, heresy? Yes, it is a heresy, but in the harem of Xavier, isn’t there an extremely beautiful Necromancer? They all lived well in the end! Even when helping Xavier, the people in Yicheng were transformed into the bone army. Facts have proved that on this decadent continent, as long as there were rights, there was nothing that couldn’t be done.

“Let’s take them out and burn them.”  Ye Lin said softly.

Xavier smiled, “Okay.”

As long as he said yes, everything was good.
