Anna blinked charmingly, and lightly pecked Mu En's cheek, "Didn't the junior feel it just now?"

Gan!

This goblin!

Mu En gritted her teeth, wishing that this seductive little goblin would be executed on the spot once again:

"Just now I was injured and in a bad state, otherwise how could it be..."

"Okay, okay, I know that my junior is also very good."

Anna stretched out her finger and flicked Mu En's forehead, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Really?"

"real."

"Then be careful, if there is anything, you must call me, don't carry it secretly like before."

Mu En stared into Anna's eyes and said seriously:

"If there is danger, no matter when, no matter where, I will go to save you, senior."

"Apprentice..."

Listening to the embarrassing words in her ears, Anna lost her mind for a moment, and stared at the handsome young man in front of her. Her eyes were rippling, as if she had a bend in her mouth.

"Really, you are like this... how can people extricate themselves?"

……

After some sweetness, Anna finally walked towards the carriage.

Mu En has also been watching her to ensure that she gets on the carriage safely.

Since he is the boss of the Silent Organization, he certainly wouldn't be so unreasonable to personally deal with a weak little girl.

In other words, the fact that senior sister can get on the carriage safely means that there will be no traps.

"Is it really just something to say?"

Mu En breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he feel that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.

Turning his head, he found that a large group of silent people were staring at him viciously with a miserable expression stuffed with dog food.

Thinking of what happened before, Mu En naturally didn't have a good look at these silent people, snorted coldly, and said with disdain:

"What are you looking at, a group of single dogs!"

Reticent: "..."

"That... Moon Campbell."

Jin Ze, who has always boasted that he has no feelings, also clenched his fists at this moment, and said:

"There are also people... looking for you."

"Who? My young master is in a bad mood right now, see you!"

"you sure?"

Kanazawa was somewhat meaningful and pointed to the side.

Mu En looked in the direction of his finger...

It was also a carriage.

However, unlike the previous black one, these two carriages are extremely luxurious and extravagant. The gold-encrusted outlines glisten in the sun, and even the extremely tall horse has a different majestic look in its eyes. Everyone is squinting their eyes.

But this is not important, what is important is the family crest on the carriage.

Dragon Slaying Sword, Duke Campbell's House!

And at this moment when he is not in the Duke's mansion, and the Duke and Duchess of Campbell are not at home, the only person who is usually qualified to travel in this way and announce the presence of the Campbell's family to everyone is...

ducal mansion.

Head Maid.

Ann.

Mu En's legs went limp, her eyes darkened, and she almost fainted.

……

……

[WEB] 6. That eye contact

On the black carriage, Anna looked at the very familiar old man in front of her with a complicated expression:

"It really is you."

"What? Scared?"

"No, it's just the adoptive father I know well, the harmless old man who runs a small shop that has never had any customers, who is drowsy every day, suddenly transformed into one of the most powerful people in this country, still in It is rumored that the sword-wielder who can stop children crying at night is just not used to it."

"..."

The old man was silent for a while, half opened his cloudy eyes, and said:

"You still recognize me as an adoptive father?"

"Why don't you admit it?"

Anna lowered her head and said softly:

"After all, you raised me, didn't you?"

"Even if my motive for adopting you was not pure in the first place?"

"I guess...but this is not contrary to your kindness of nurturing, is it?"

Anna raised her head and said with a smile:

"I'm not that ungrateful person, and if you think about it carefully, even if you may have other purposes, you never hurt me. Even before... at that time, the silent agency suddenly arrested me, it can be seen as a Protect me, but I'm afraid you didn't expect that those evil believers are so crazy that they would directly attack one of the branches of the Silent Agency.

And most importantly, Anna Capelin would not be what she is today without your teachings.So no matter what purpose you had for adopting me at that time, I am very grateful. "

"..."

The old man fell silent again.

He looked at the girl in front of him with endless tenderness in his eyes, and his memory couldn't help but go back to ten years ago.

At that time, he came to contact her with the intention of directly killing the girl.

Because from the information he got, this poor girl who was abandoned by her parents showed signs of becoming a snake since she was born.

Historically, the longest incubation time for slithering disease was ten years.

And the snake man that hatched in ten years finally caused a huge disaster that almost destroyed the entire city.

Therefore, when the girl had just stepped through the threshold of 11 years old and had to walk out of the orphanage, he appeared in front of her.

The purpose is to kill her and completely solve this unknown hidden danger.

For him, for this "sword bearer" who has executed countless evil believers in the past 100 years, this should have been an easy task.

but.

On that windless night, through the cold moonlight, when he noticed that this girl, just like now, had infinitely gentle and strong eyes, he suddenly hesitated.

Perhaps it was because the weather was really good that day, the moonlight was really bright, and the eyes of the people who illuminated it were very bright.

Or maybe it was his subconscious atonement for himself in his twilight years, before he was about to go to hell.

So, for the first time that night, this old man with blood on his hands and bones under his feet softened.

And this time his soft heart was like a sprout that gradually grew after the spring rain. Deep in his heart, the ice field that he thought he had turned into a dead place had grown into a gentle grassland.

"It's me who should thank you."

"Ok?"

Anna tilted her head and looked at the old man in confusion, not understanding the meaning of his words.

"It's you who made me fight evil gods and believers all my life, and also be a sharp sword to kill people all my life. Only now, I finally feel what it means to be a human being."

"is it?"

Anna frowned and said with a smile:

"How does it feel?"

The old man looked at his skinny hands and said with a smile:

"It feels good."

Sunlight flows into this small space through the gauze curtain of the carriage. The old man and the young girl sit opposite each other, with gentle smiles on their faces, just like a pair of real father and daughter with a big age difference, very warm.

"By the way, you didn't call me here just to reminisce about the old days, did you?" Anna leaned against the window, resting her chin, and asked softly.

"If there is anything else, please tell me."

"You're still so smart."

The old man showed a hint of helplessness, and all the drafts he had accumulated in his belly were discarded, and he replied straight to the point:

"Actually, it's nothing. I hope you can join the Silent Agency. This is the most suitable place for you."

"The Silent Mechanism..."

There was no surprise in Anna's eyes, and said:

"But I don't like that kind of place."

"I know."

The old man also seemed to have anticipated Anna's reaction, and calmly said:

"But I didn't ask you to start from the bottom. The current you are worthy of a higher position."

"So..." Anna raised her eyebrows.

"...I'm very old."

The old man was silent for a while, and said:

"I don't know when I am so old, I will suddenly enter the coffin, so...

I need an heir. "

"Varied……"

A trace of surprise finally appeared on Anna's beautiful face, her cherry lips parted slightly, and she looked a little naive:

"Me? The heir? But I'm not even the Reticent yet."

"You don't have to worry about this. The Silent Organization is not that kind of bureaucracy. What you look at is not your seniority, but your strength. As long as your strength is enough to suppress everyone, then everyone will do their best to obey your orders."

"But my strength is not enough."

"It's not enough now, but later..."

The old man looked at Anna meaningfully, as if he had seen something inside her, and said:

"I believe in your potential."

"..."

"Not to mention, old man, I'm not dead yet. Before I hand over all my abilities to you, I'm afraid I won't be willing to die."

"..."

Anna remained silent, lowering her eyes, as if she was thinking seriously.

After a while, she tightly clenched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, concealing her inner struggle, and said softly:

"But I still..."
