Seven Shows - Chapter 9. The World
“Wait a minute, even if we want to pretend to be these two children, we don’t look like them?” Ye Lin and Xavier scattered the ashes of the two children in the nearby forest, holding the necklace worn by one of the children in their hands and frowning.
Xavier smiled, “This is not a problem at all.”
“Why is it?”
“I’m afraid you haven’t noticed. Although the clothes of these two children are fine, they obviously don’t fit well. Look at this.” Xavier took out one of the children’s clothes. “It looks good on the outside, but the inside is already taken off. No one cares at all.”
Ye Lin came back to his senses, “seems rich, but they actually neglected to take care of it.”
“Yes.” Xavier nodded, “It’s not just that, except for their faces, they are somewhat bruised. It means that the people taking care of them didn’t take much care, just maintaining what seemed to be pretty good on the surface. They must not be important people. How many people can remember the looks of such aristocratic children after a few years?”
Ye Lin glanced at Xavier weirdly, this guy’s observation ability was really… No wonder he could evolve to such an abnormally powerful level.
Even if there is some doubt about their identity, so what, the world here does not have DNA testing, unless they can find the real two children, but they have been sleeping forever in the woods of this border city.
“Lindberg Ambridge… the name is really complicated.” Ye Lin read the name on the silver necklace after looking at it for a long time before he could read it out. Forgive him for the lingua franca of this continent was still to the point of listening and speaking well, reading and writing were still far from good.
Xavier flipped over, “Sal Ambridge.” Then he hung the necklace around his neck casually.
Ye Lin was not like Xavier to steal the identity and life of others without guilt. After putting away the necklace, he solemnly said: “Now, how are we going to deal with that Hadriel?”
After all, there were still so many guards in the manor.
Xavier smiled coldly, “Wait.”
Ye Lin suddenly realized, yes, wait.
Lanny was a businessman. He was not a nobleman. He had no guards who had been loyal to him for generations. His guards were all hired. When Lanny didn’t come back for a long time, these guards who depended on Lanny for food would of course be anxious and letting them to guard a nobleman who had a grumpy temper and asked for strange things would be impossible. The manor would definitely be in chaos by then.
Ye Lin would rather live in the woods than go back to that messy and dirty tavern, so they simply had been hiding in Lanny’s manor, and they had been living in this huge manor for half a month, and no one noticed it. The estate being large was one thing, that Hadriel would let almost 80% of the guards be concentrated around his residence, the other places of course would not be guarded and would be left negligent.
But Ye Lin happened to hold Lanny’s key, and the two lived quite clean in the manor’s guest room.
As expected, only half a month later, the whole manor was filled with impetuous restlessness. After another two or three days, a large number of guards left the manor and headed towards the Eismangar Forest. He ran, and visually observed that several swordsmen had left the manor.
That night, Ye Lin and Xavier infiltrated Hadriel’s bedroom smoothly.
Hadriel was a rather bloated fat man. He wore a gorgeous silk robe, but he didn’t even clean shaved himself. He looked like he was in a very bad mental state. He was said to be a nobleman. His hair was brown and his eyes were not pure black, a little dark blue, his eyes were full of viciousness and panic at this time, “Who are you?! How dare you?! Come here, come here!”
Ye Lin sarcastically said, “No need to shout, no one can run in anymore.”
Hadriel’s lips trembled, “I am a noble! If you dare to hurt me, you will be sentenced to hanging!”
“Noble?” Xavier smiled lightly, “With your brown hair and blue eyes?”
Hadriel heard the words and was irritated, jumped up and said, “I am a noble! I am a noble of pure blood!”
Ye Lin: “ … ”
Was this guy suffering from hypochondriac¹? A pure-blooded nobleman who has black hair and black eyes, okay… they could disguise themself, but this fat man? Do not be ridiculous!
[TL: (1) Hypochondriac is related to Hypochondria. Hypochondria is a psychological disorder characterized by excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness or depression.]
“Lindberg and Sal are the ones.” Xavier said coldly.
Hadriel’s eyes really reddened with anger, “I knew it! You must be from the Marquis of Tulip, aren’t you? What Lindberg, what Sal! They are not from my Ambridge family! The Ambridge family should be… it belongs to me! How could those two wild species that don’t even know who their mothers are the blood of my Ambridge family?! I want them to become puppets under the necromancer, and I want them to never be reborn hahahaha…”
Ye Lin frowned and looked at Xavier.
A lavender grass in the corner was emitting wisps of almost imperceptible smoke.
This kind of grass had a very simple name, it was called angry grass. As long as it was burned, it would emit a stimulating smoke smell, which was especially easy to make people angry.
“The old maiden of the Marquis of Tulip only knows that black eyes and black hair are the proof of blood. If it weren’t for her, I would have inherited the Ambridge family!” Hadriel shouted, “Obviously my dear Aunt wanted to show favor to wild species of unknown origin! Hahaha! Do you think she is really kind? Stop dreaming! Why do you want to be so kind to keep those two boys locked up and never see them once in three to five years! That yard? There were only three or five guards, I easily brought them out! I killed them, hahaha, killed!”
Perhaps because of the role of the angry grass, perhaps because of extreme tension, Hadriel’s whole person had become very wrong, his face flushed, and his eyes were a little loose.
Xavier pulled Ye Lin and kicked over the silver jug beside the bed. As a result, a jewel-studded pipe rolled out. Hadriel screamed and threw himself on it, and was easily pierced by Xavier through throat.
Ye Lin moved his nose and smelled a peculiar scent, but he was dizzy for a moment when he smelled it. He quickly held his breath and took a step back. “What’s that!”
Xavier held the dagger blankly. Pulling it out, blood gushed out, Hadriel’s fat body slammed to the ground with a bang, and a large pool of blood gushed out after a short while.
“It’s Moonlight Bud.”
“Moonlight Bud?”
Xavier glanced down at the luxurious pipe and smiled faintly, “It is also one of the reasons why humans and the elves are fighting. Like the reincarnation flower, moonlight buds are also plants that elves can cultivate. Only elves can survive. How can humans grow them? It is also impossible to grow living moonlight buds. Moonlight buds are very beautiful, especially at night, as if they are bathed in moonlight. Elves use moonlight buds to worship the goddess of life. For the elves, this is the sacred part of the goddess of life. But humans use moonlight buds—you see, as long as a little bit of moonlight buds are rolled in tobacco, they can produce a very strange hallucinogenic effect, but long-term use will make people mentally depressed, irritable, and more irritable. It is called ‘The Kiss of the Moonlight Goddess’.” His voice paused, “The elves think that this is a blasphemy against the Goddess of Life.”
Ye Lin immediately realized that this was the world’s advanced drug!
“The greed for profit can turn people into the devil.”
This world was just like that. No wonder Xavier wanted to destroy the world. Such a dirty, degraded and corrupted world was really not so beautiful. Perhaps only the Xavier who had failed in his previous life and was full of angry thoughts would like this strong person to respect, as long as you are strong enough, as long as you are powerful enough, you can do whatever you want, the law was only for the common people, and the power was above the moral world.
Xavier gently said: “It’s not just humans, but elves are the same, otherwise, where does the human world come from reincarnation nectar and moonlight buds?”
Ye Lin understood.
Therefore, he wanted to destroy everything, whether it was the human world or the elf world.
That night, the largest manor in the city of Bit caught fire. Overnight, not only the manor was destroyed, but the lord of the manor, Lanny Aschu, never appeared. The once prosperous Red Rose Manor was instantly reduced to ashes.
In the early morning of that day, Ye Lin and Xavier had quietly left Bit City and walked towards the next city on the crude map.
Four years were enough time for them to walk through many lands and through many cities. This world was far wider than Ye Lin imagined, and it was darker and more degenerated than he imagined. He felt that every day Xavier’s eyes were still so clear and beautiful, but getting calmer and calmer. Under the calmness, what was suppressed was his deep aversion to the gray world that was unbearable as a wizard.
Well, Ye Lin didn’t think he was a real elf, but it was undeniable that Xavier’s nature had a desire for perfection by the elf.
Ye Lin always had to do everything possible to be able to try his best to correct his three views, and then he felt that his three views were also on the verge of danger.
Damn it! He felt that he was going to be blacked out being a healthy and positive young man by working hard!
“This is it?”
Wearing a gray plaid cloak, Ye Lin only showed a pair of bright and beautiful eyes, which were clearly covered to this point, and these troublesome eyes were still brought to them no less than ten times. Fortunately, he didn’t run into any real masters, otherwise it would be really hard to tell.
Xavier was still in the gray cloak that looked even older, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Four years later, there was almost no change between his eyebrows. After all, for the elves, four years were probably like a few days for humans. The elf’s life was so long, four years was really nothing, “It shouldn’t be wrong.”
Ye Lin opened the delicately carved door in front of him, and the warmth rushing on his face made his eyes a little uncomfortable.
The outside was icy and snowy. There was a heavy snowfall last night, and there were several corpses that had frozen to death not far away, but the place across the door was warm as spring, almost making people think that these were two different worlds.
Exquisite silver shelves were placed at the door for the noble gentlemen and ladies to hang coats, hats and cloaks. The floor was paved with marble. It was for the reflection of people. The gold and black were intertwined. It looked very luxurious and looked like a colorful flower, clustered in a not-so-small white jade flower bed, and maintained the tenderness of the flowers in the cold winter. Of course, thanks to the magical magic, the walls were pasted with light golden glass wallpaper, watching the brilliance flow, not far away from the crystal lamp. The overlapping layers were very delicate, there were curtains made of gold and silver beside the windows, and antique shelves decorated in the corners. Everything was graceful and elegant.
There was a yellow line at the door of this building. Non-nobles were not allowed to enter. It was this yellow line that stopped the hungry and ragged people outside the door, a heaven and a hell.
Ye Lin was silent for a while, looking down at the doormat under his feet. It turned out to be the best garland woven with thin gold threads. This doormat was enough to keep hundreds of poor people from freezing to death in their cotton-padded clothes.
“What do you have–” A waiter in a light blue robe greeted him. When he saw two old children, his expressions suddenly became gloomy. Ye Lin and Xavier had already put down their hoods. With the black hair and eyes of Xavier and Xavier’s long hair as dark as the night, the waiter instantly changed his face and smiled and said: “Two young masters, you can tell everything, Lorraine will serve you.” After speaking, he immediately hung up for them diligently, ignoring that the dust on their cloak soiled his clean silk robe.
Ye Lin smiled, “I want you to take us home.” He spread out his white hands, and a golden family crest was shining in his palm. On the crest, the twelve golden roses beside it indicated that this was the most important one. Watching the family coat of arms of the top noble family, the waiter’s face became more humble in an instant, and he deeply bowed down-
“Yes, noble young master.”
