Chapter 44

Gasping for breath, the man in the gray robe stumbled into the house of the "Lyle family", roughly dismissed the servants who followed him for instructions, returned to his bedroom step by step, locked all the doors and windows, breathed a sigh of relief, threw away his dirty gray robe and slumped on the chair.

The grey robed man hidden under his hood - or, the second son of the Lyle family, green Lyle, with his eyes full of panic and panic, picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it down his throat.

Although he had the experience that his partner Draco, a fake priest, killed his brother. But the fear of passing by death still frightened the heir of the Lyle family, even if his heart was still beating.

The wizard who killed Draco must have been in the barn! Even if he only thought of this, he couldn't help regretting why he had to come forward in person. Damn it, don't you just find a trusted servant?

Green Lyle, who picked up the bottle and drank it, finally recovered his complexion and his heart beat gradually calmed down. Even began to figure out what to do tomorrow - the barn can't go again, but I still need those Dalits to inquire about the news, otherwise

"Dong Dong Dong!"

The sudden noise almost didn't make him jump up. When he found that it was a knock at the door, green couldn't help yelling: "Damn, I didn't say don't disturb me tonight!"

"There are your guests, master green." the old housekeeper's voice came from outside the door. "He said he was very worried. He had to see you now."

Guest... Green's yellow eyes shrunk, carefully put the wine bottle at hand, and then boldly said, "please invite him in."

After a short but long wait, the door opened. A tall and thin man walked into the room. Green, who was just very nervous, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and threw the wine bottle aside.

"You don't look very well, master green," said the tall man, squinting in a tone of indifference.

"Don't look well? I almost can't come back this afternoon!" green, who had just recovered, immediately stood up and looked at the man with a distorted expression: "the wizard who killed Draco came back and almost caught me a few quarters of an hour ago - if I hadn't run fast enough, I would have been a dead man!"

"Aren't you still safe?" the man comforted, "and he's just a little wizard apprentice. He can't do anything to you."

"Little wizard apprentice?!" green raised his voice. "You said this little wizard apprentice, but kill Draco and all his ghouls!"

"Not to mention that he probably knocked a lot out of Draco's mouth. He must know everything. Besides, he went to church this afternoon. Who knows if he found anything amazing?!"

"I assure you that there was absolutely no trace left when cleaning up the priest." the man said coldly, "it was me, not the third rate alchemist like Draco."

"Anyway, the damn wizard apprentice must die. He knows too much - don't forget, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can escape in case of an accident!" green glared at the man: "the crime of murdering a priest is beheading!"

"We are well aware of the risks." the man's eyes narrowed into a seam: "we have all been well aware since we solved father Anthony."

"Then don't mention it again!" even if it was just said, green felt trembling all over.

After Draco's death, green Lyle, who was worried all day, was afraid that he would be caught as an accomplice, but what really bothered him was that he could no longer get the alchemy prepared by Draco.

As long as a small cup, it can make the most difficult ale unparalleled delicious, and even produce wonderful illusions, which makes green unable to stop - and the more so, the more difficult he is in the days without that kind of alchemy.

I didn't know when I met these guys... Although I knew they were not good people, for the sake of medicine, I still took them as Draco's friends, and even gave them Draco's priest clothes left here.

Then he heard that father Anthony was killed.

At this point, even regret is too late. Anyway, as long as no one knows, he is still safe. Everything has nothing to do with him. Whether it is killing his brother or murdering the priest, the person who does it is not himself - Green Lyle can only comfort himself.

"Of course, you're right. We can't let such a dangerous person continue to live." the man finally said, "killing him will arouse the vigilance of vimpal college, but we don't need to be afraid of those cowards. They absolutely dare not say a word more."

"What's more, you have our protection, and don't worry that these wizards will hurt you."

At this point, green Lyle had no choice but to trust each other. He nodded silently: "anyway, kill this boy before he spread the truth!"

"Of course." the man nodded and a glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes: "however, since you have made a request and our service is not free, if you want his life now, you have to pay something."

"What, money again?!" hearing this, green Lyle jumped up immediately: "what do you think of me, a big walking wallet?!"

"It's just that if you have to send more people while providing medicine and ensuring your safety, but there is no reward..."

"Shut up, you haven't taken much from me?" green Lyle said angrily. "I'm just the heir of the family, not the owner of the Lyle family, and my active property is limited!"

"That is to say, if you become the leader of the Lyle family, you can do it?" the man said coldly.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's just a small proposal." the man said expressionless, "do you never think it's very eye-catching that only your brother but not your father in the past?"

"But, but anyway, he's my father!"

"A father who never takes you seriously," the man continued. "A father who takes you as an heir only when there is no choice."

"Of course, this is just a small proposal. Success or failure depends on you. Just give a little order. We are very happy to solve some small problems for our friends."

The man turned and walked towards the door, pretending to leave.

"Wait!" cried the restless green Lyle suddenly, with a strange smile on his back.

"If, I mean, if I want you to do so..."

"There will never be any noise, let alone any trace." the man's voice is extremely gentle: "and I promise I won't dirty your hands. We will bear all the consequences."

"Tomorrow night, finish the work tomorrow night. I'll be the head of the Lyle family the day after tomorrow!" green Lyle, who was completely paralyzed in his chair, said with all his strength. "I can give you whatever you want at that time!"

"Then allow me to thank you first, master Lyle." the man turned and left the room with a hypocritical flattery. When the door closed again, green Lyle was alone in the room.

Today is too long: almost killed his wizard, haunted Draco, and his father who is going to hell with his brother... Green Lyle suddenly grabbed the wine bottle, opened the window and threw the bottle out of the window!

Until tomorrow, all those who look down on me will have to pay a price!
