Chapter 028 Breeding and Taming 1
"Father..." Entering the palace, the dim candlelight shone on Augustine's cheek, making his expression dark and unclear, half dark and half bright.
To this day, he can no longer tolerate his father's destruction of the town of Oez, which his mother founded. Even if he has to risk going against the world and do something against his father, he must take action.
Anyway, his mother's old subordinates are still in the city, so he still has some face.
As he walked to the door of his father's dormitory, he heard his brother talking loudly with someone else. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to eavesdrop through the door first.
"Aren't you the best pharmacist in town? Why can't you even taste the recipe for a simple ice powder?"
"This... ice powder contains too many ingredients. It may take me several months to be completely sure."
"Useless trash!"
A muffled groan from the pharmacist came from inside the door, followed by a clanging sound. He frowned. He could guess without thinking too much that it was probably his brother Di Si who kicked the pharmacist hard to vent his anger.
His disgust now grew stronger.
Why are my father and brother always shameful?
"Who's behind the door?" An angry shout interrupted his thoughts. He was distracted when he saw a sharp sword suddenly pierce through the wooden door and stabbed towards him.
He dodged backwards suddenly and barely avoided the attack.
"Ah, who did I think it was? It turned out to be my good brother." Di Si, holding the long sword in his hand, walked out of the door slowly, his smile getting colder.
Augustine frowned and was about to ask a question, but unexpectedly, Emperor attacked him suddenly and drew his sword. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged the attack by leaning to the side.
However, Di Si had no intention of letting him go. He just scowled at him coldly and slashed at him with sword after sword, even using his swordsman skills, as if he was determined to kill him.
He dodged them one by one, gritting his teeth, "Are you crazy? In father's bedroom, you actually did such a fratricidal thing?"
"Brother?" Di Si smiled grimly. "Are you worthy of being my brother? Even if my father saw this, he would never blame me..."
Augustine felt extremely angry, his teeth chattering, but he couldn't refute it - because what Di Si said was the truth.
Once, he and his brother were injured together. His father took great care of Di Si, but looked on coldly at him, even saying: "Useless waste, why didn't you die?"
"Useless trash, why don't you die?" Di Si spoke word by word, deliberately provoking him.
The veins on Augustine's forehead bulged, and his eyes grew colder.
He gritted his teeth and wanted to snatch the sword from Di Si's hand with his bare hands, but Di Si was a level 31 swordsman after all, so how could it be easy?
The battle became more and more intense until he heard familiar footsteps.
It was Father Oez who came back.
At that moment, he was distracted for a moment.
Will his father seek justice for him?
In just this moment, Di Si caught the loophole and quickly drew his sword, sharp and swift—
But the sword was actually slashing in the opposite direction!
Disi actually wanted to hurt himself!
Augustine was shocked and subconsciously grabbed the sword. The sword slipped through his fingers, and he moved the sword away half an inch, slashing along Di Si's shoulder. However, Di Si groaned, and blood flowed out, staining his shoulder red. His hand was also cut in his haste, and it was covered with blood.
At that second, he clearly saw the triumphant smile on Di Si's face - it turned out that all this was a preparation to frame him!
"You rebellious son! Are you planning a rebellion?"
The footsteps behind him hurriedly stopped and an angry shout was heard.
"Father... I didn't..." Augustine turned his head and was about to argue, but was suddenly slapped to the ground, and bright red blood oozed from the corner of his lips.
"You still say no! There are witnesses and evidence. You entered the palace with a sword, clearly intending to murder me and your brother!" Oez sneered as he looked down at Augustine, like an insurmountable mountain that overwhelmed everything.
Oez shouted loudly, "Come! Pass on my decree. Augustine assassinated the lord and should be executed. However, in consideration of his past merits, he will be expelled from the territory and will never set foot in Oez again! With such a major incident happening in Oez, close the city gates first and don't let Augustine's accomplices escape!"
"I didn't!" Augustine's pupils were about to burst. He grabbed the sword and wanted to argue that it was Di Si's sword. However, the moment he picked it up, he felt that all the blood in his body had frozen.
That was actually his sword?
Wasn’t his sword placed in his own bedroom?
How is that possible!
The pharmacist next to him knelt down and wailed, "My Lord, it was indeed Augustine who wanted to kill Lord Di Si just now! How terrible..."
Augustine wanted to argue but couldn't speak, because the next moment, his father had already written the contract, tore open the magic scroll, teleported him out of the city, and then broadcast the events in the city.
He was so skilled that it seemed as if he had known this would happen.
"Father, that's not fair."
These were the last words he said before leaving.
*
He had just been teleported out of the city and had not yet stood firm, but his acumen as a swordsman and animal tamer had enabled him to run quickly!
Damn, there is an ambush outside the city!
Did his father really want to kill him?!
Arrows whizzed at him, but years of training allowed him to make the best choice. He quickly ran towards the river, but he soon discovered something terrifying -
The opponent even used the precious and rare Rebirth Arrow, which is a purple-grade item that can break human skills!
Even if he dodged in time, he was still outnumbered and soon his waist and thighs were hit by arrows, causing him to feel cramps.
He gritted his teeth and without even a groan, he jumped into the river with a plop. His heart was pounding so hard from the excessive bleeding that it seemed as if it was going to burst his eardrums.
However, strangely, as soon as he was hit by two arrows, the rain of arrows seemed to stop.
He swam desperately until he could no longer see any enemies chasing him on the surface of the water, and then he dared to stop.
At this moment, he was floating in the water and found that his body was getting heavier. He suddenly realized: the arrow was made of thousand-year-old black iron and was extremely heavy. It would cause him to drown in the river. Damn it, the group of archers clearly calculated that he would run to the river!
In this case, he would either drown or die from excessive blood loss from pulling out the arrow!
It was obvious that the group of archers had planned to kill him quietly in the river so that there would be no evidence!
He had no choice but to pull out the arrow with trembling arms!
His stamina gauge was completely depleted, and having been hit by an arrow, all his abilities were gone. He could only feel his body growing heavier and heavier...
His brain was deprived of oxygen and he desperately searched everything in front of him, hoping to find something like driftwood.
I didn’t expect that he really found it!
A piece of floating ice suddenly appeared in front of him. He stretched forward as far as he could and hugged the ice, barely able to stabilize his falling body.
Huh—huh—
He was gasping for breath.
It's summer now, and if he doesn't go ashore quickly, the ice will probably melt. But if he goes ashore... there's no guarantee that Di Si hasn't stationed people waiting on the river bank.
Is he going to pass on a message to Lin Muqiu? A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But how could he have the face to see her?
"You're really stubborn. You refuse to use the sound stone no matter what."
A voice passed through his ears faintly.
Wait… ice floes?
Lin Muqiu? !
He felt a shadow covering his body, and then he looked up in a daze, only to see Lin Muqiu standing on a piece of floating ice, raising an eyebrow at him, "So you want to settle down in my town? Others don't want you, but I do."
The words were spoken softly and clearly, flowing into his ears like a gentle rain. Lin Muqiu was scattering light against the river surface at this moment, like a god descending from heaven. It was hard to tell whether it was the afterglow or her faint smile that gave her a golden edge, and even the tips of her hair were a brilliant golden color.
He was distracted for a moment before reacting.
That's right, only she could teleport here, kill the archer effortlessly, block the arrow for him, and create floating ice.
"You're right..." Augustine swallowed the bloody smell in his mouth and turned his head away embarrassedly, "How did you know I was here?"
"What I gave you wasn't a sound transmission stone, but a positioning stone." Lin Muqiu shrugged. "I knew you would hesitate to tell me your family's dirty laundry. What do you think? I had foresight, didn't I?"
"Well..." Augustine closed his eyes, tears of blood streaking through them, "You really know me well."
He knew him as well as his brother and father, and even calculated what would happen at every step, just waiting for him to take one step at a time.
But the purpose is so different.
As brothers and relatives, they plotted and killed each other; although they should have been rivals and enemies, they sympathized with each other and protected each other secretly.
"I always respect the fate of others." Lin Muqiu looked at his embarrassed appearance and asked gently, "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to come with me?"
"Hmm..." Augustine responded with a long sigh, but then he felt dizzy and passed out.
In his long life, he had seen that kind of look, which his mother had once given him. It was neither admiration for him because he was a noble, nor disgust for him because he made a mistake.
It was as if she was just quietly looking at him.
*
"cough!"
Augustine opened his eyes, and his vision slowly became clearer. He found himself lying on the bed, with Lin Muqiu and another woman tying gauze around him.
Medea saw that he had woken up and quickly touched his forehead. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the fever had subsided. "Thanks to Lin Muqiu's shop, they recently made a dish with a rapid recovery effect. It's also a blue-level one. Otherwise, you might not have woken up."
"Also," Medea warned, "your arrow is stuck too deep. Even after drinking a level 20 healing potion, it hasn't healed completely. You must be careful not to move around, or you might get infected."
Augustine didn't care about that at all. He stood up suddenly, and the wound opened again, "Lin Muqiu!"
"Hey, I'm here." Lin Muqiu was originally thinking that there was still too few pharmacists in the town. When she heard him calling her, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's up?"
"My guards and servants, and my flying beast..." Augustine gulped for oxygen, as if he hadn't recovered from drowning. "My father and brother will definitely sell them or kill them! I have to save them!"
"Oh?" Lin Muqiu seemed to be thinking about something. "That would be great. The city is in need of guards, and I'm in need of a beast tamer."
Augustine:?
