Chapter Four(1/3)

For Ribo, the hope of finding the only souvenir left to him by his mother was obviously slim. First of all, he didn't know where the killer lived? Even if he found the killer, Ribo was absolutely unsure to take the necklace back from the ruthless killer.

In fact, when Rebbo discovered that the killer was named Kyle and lived in another corner of the house, the second question deeply troubled him.

Keller was a gloomy and lonely man. Although they lived in the same house, Ribo only saw him occasionally. Keller almost didn't come out of the room. Even when eating, he never went to the living room below. He shared with the boss and Eckert. The three meals a day were brought into his room by the butler himself.

Rebow noticed that no one in the house was willing to stay with Keller, and it was not completely unreasonable to choose a room away from Keller for himself. In fact, most people live on the western half of Keller.

Even for the thieves, Kelle is an extremely dangerous figure.

Ribo's heart lingers between his mother's relics and the dangerous killer.

Love finally defeated fear. When Ribo finally stood at the door of Kelle, he didn't even know where he got such great courage.

He knocked on the door gently, which was the politeness that Ruibo had always known, and there was no need for Eckert to teach.

"You open the door and come in." A hoarse voice came from the room.

The sound was like a dying wolf, howling in a low voice while panting, and the hoarse sound stimulated Ribo's eardrums.

Open the door.

The door was quite heavy, the room was dark, and the curtains were tightly pulled, and only a little sunlight could be penetrated.

A bed, a chair, a table, is everything that Ribo can see.

"What's the matter with me?" The hoarse voice came from behind.

Ribo was startled and turned around.

There was only a pair of eyes that shone like beasts in the darkness.

Ruibo has never seen anyone's eyes emit green light like a wolf.

The killer in front of him is obviously a demonic and dangerous character.

Although when Rebbo decided to face Kelle bravely, he had planned how to deal with this ruthless killer. However, when those green and glittering eyes came to him, Rebbo's mind suddenly became blank.

"You knocked on my door, aren't you wasting my time?" The person who spoke was obviously a little impatient.

"It was originally time to practice swordsmanship and equestrians, but my course was over. Eckert thought that I could learn more advanced skills. You are the master of this..." Ribo said the perfect lie without even thinking about it.

When facing this devilishly terrifying killer, Ribo didn't even dare to mention it when facing the terrifying killer.

"Eckert asked you to learn the skills of killing from me?" Kelle was obviously a little confused. Although Mr. Hyde told him that Eckert was planning an unprecedented plan that he had never had before, he was not quite clear about the specific content of the plan.

"Wait, I'll ask Mr. Hyde, what's going on?" Kelle said.

"Oh, if you don't have time, I can practice by myself." Ribo said in a panic. He didn't want to make things bigger.

"Stay here and wait until I come back and don't leave, do you understand?" The hoarse voice was so conclusive, obviously there was no room for bargaining.

After saying this, Kelle flashed out of the room and closed the door.

Standing in the dark room, Ruibo was nervous and filled with regret.

Perhaps taking back the necklace from a demonic killer is not a task that you can do.

Maybe I shouldn't have entered this room at all.

Ribo was even able to confirm that the lie just now would be engraved on his tombstone as an epitaph, and a sentence was added below that a foolish man threw such a stupid lie in front of a killer, which ended his stupid life.

Ruibo secretly prayed in his heart, wishing God to bless him.

As long as he can get forgiveness from the demonic killer, he is willing to accept any punishment, even if he lay in bed for a month last time, he is willing to do so.

Rebow knelt there and prayed devoutly, hoping to receive the merciful salvation of the gods.

In the lounge, Mr. Hyde was thinking about things with his head down.

Eckert sat next to him, while Kelle stood in the darkness of a corner of the room.

This lounge is where Mr. Hyde usually spends the most time, and it is completely different from the layout of the study.

The lounge is filled with precious works of art from all over the world.

Against the wall, there are paintings of different regions with their own unique styles.

Among them are magnificent oil paintings from Xibai with ancient mythology, exquisite portraits from Yilei, mountain and forest landscape paintings from Deliji, and pastoral landscape paintings from the island Yingge. In addition, there are extremely rare paintings from the Eastern countries. The most precious ones are undoubtedly those amazing masterpieces from the farther east, painted with completely different aesthetic concepts and painting techniques. Artists from the Far East can use black pigments of different shades and simple brushstrokes to draw wonderful pictures. Most of these works from the Far East are scenery or single flowers and plants, natural themes such as animals, fish and shrimp, and few characters and portraits.

Several chairs are placed in a circle in the middle of the house. The chairs are made of strong and light rattan strips. On the rattan chairs are covered with layers of precious animal fur, lions and lynx skins in Xibai, bear skins in Dilizhi, fox skins, leopard skins, mink skins, rhinoceros skins, and crocodile skins transported by Yilei.

The thick fur makes the rattan chair soft and warm.

Mr. Hyde and Eckert obviously knew how to enjoy everything. A screen made of ivory separates the door from the lounge. The feathers of various rare birds make the room everywhere. Mr. Hyde obviously likes peacocks very much. The bright green color of the peacock feathers becomes the main color here.

Relying on a corner of the room, a bronze-cast stove was placed, and there was no idea what incense was lit inside. With a wisp of blue smoke, a refreshing fragrance filled the whole room.

"That kid wants to be your disciple?" Mr. Hyde asked for a moment of silence.

"He said Eckert ordered this." Kelle replied.

"Your results are pretty good." Mr. Hyde said with a smile at Eckert.

"Yes, a stupid but extremely excellent lie, but I haven't taught him a lesson in deception yet," Eckert said with a smile. "Would you like to let him suffer? Let him remember that real deception must be carefully planned and thoughtful?"

Hearing Eckert's suggestion, Mr. Hyde was once again in deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Didn't you mention to me that series of accidents about Serthborg? Haven't you also asked Kelle to help you? Well, Kelle, you will accept the student and give him the skills to use weapons and avoid dangers. Give you a month to make the children a minimum hunter. I think this will be very beneficial to our plan."

"What can I teach him in one month?" Kelle obviously did not have much confidence in education.

"Let him tell what to eat and what foods are mixed with poison, teach him how to distinguish and stay away from danger, teach him the benefits of standing in the shadows, teach him the way to escape from desperate situations, and teach him one or two skills that can be used to defend himself. Children cannot always stay under your protection. He needs to face at least two guys like thugs on the street alone, and be able to quickly get rid of them."

"I will do my best." Kelle agreed.

"Eckert, how many studies have children not completed?" Mr. Hyde asked.

"It's almost the same, but Xibai's language is a little bit worse. It's okay to use it in daily life, but it may not be enough on some occasions." Eckert replied: "In addition, there is no problem with other etiquette and behavior."

"It's great. Can I ask Fez to start a trial? Let the children show their achievements." Mr. Hyde asked.

"Yes," Eckert replied affirmatively.

"Then, it's decided to be in one month. This month you and Fez will prepare well, and the child will give it to me and Kelle. Sibai language has not been useful for a long time, and I have forgotten it a little. Eckert, please bring me a Sibai language dictionary, okay?" Mr. Hyde asked.

Eckert agreed and retreated with Kelle.

Back in his room, Kyle saw Ribo kneeling on the ground at a glance, his pale face and trembling all over, making the ruthless killer see through what he was thinking in his heart at a glance.

"Get up, Mr. Hyde said, since you plan to learn more advanced fighting skills, then from today, you will learn with me. This month, the "actor" happened to have something to teach you. From today on, when you move here to live, I also set you a schedule for you, and you have a month to adapt to it. "This schedule starts from three in the morning, without surprise. What I teach you is not as easy and easy as Eckert, because you not only have to print everything into your mind, but also remember it with your body." Kelle's sharp eyes can see everything clearly even in the dark. He stared at Ribo's pale face and panicked eyes and said, "Get up at three o'clock, you have to learn not to disturb anyone outside the house. Everyone living in this house is extremely alert except you, and you must learn these first.

"Before five o'clock, it's time for you to learn to run. The 'Actor' has never taught you this, because he is a liar, and the liar doesn't need to run away without his life, but we killers are completely different. Escape is the only trick to save your life.

"A most powerful killer, maybe there is nothing to boast about his skills, but his ability to hide his own actions and escape skills must be first-class." After five o'clock, I will teach you everything that a killer should know. Killers and liars are completely different. As a killer, there are not many things to learn, but more importantly, mastering these skills.

"In the afternoon, I will give you a fighting class. It is another skill different from swordsmanship. The fighting skills I teach you are far less fancy than swordsmanship. A direct blow is always more practical for killers than tangled fighting. "I think two hours of training should be enough. You stay with Mr. Hyde at other times. At night, when you come back here to sleep, you have to learn to sit and curl up or sleep standing, and stay alert at all times when sleeping, just like most people in this house. These things are impossible for the 'actor' to teach you."

Speaking of this, Kelle walked to the table, and he took something out of the drawer of the table and handed it to Rebow.

The light in the house was too dark, and Ruibo couldn't see what it was. By touching, he could roughly tell that the thing was a long strip of half a foot long and spliced ​​with various metal materials, but he didn't know what it was for.

"Stand to the window, don't open the curtains, you have to slowly adapt to the darkness. Although you will be a liar like Eckert in the future, for liars, the place with dazzling lights is the best for you, but who knows whether you will encounter any danger in the future. "I tell you that most dangers come from the darkness. If you want to avoid those dangers, you must first be familiar with the darkness. After you adapt to the darkness, you will deeply feel that the best way to avoid danger is to be in the same darkness. Darkness can protect you and stay away from danger more easily. Light makes you a more conspicuous target."

Following Kelle's instructions, Rebow walked to the window. Under the dim sunlight of the window, Rebow finally saw the items in his hand. The strange shape made Rebow puzzled. What was this thing used for?

Just when Ruibo was puzzled, he quietly stretched out a hand from behind.

Ruibo was scared.

The hand skillfully pulled and flipped, and completely opened the object in Ruibo's hand. It turned out to be an exquisite crossbow. The crossbow arms made of stainless steel were closely combined with hinges. A very strong string wire made of unknown material was firmly tied to the two sections of the crossbow arms.

If the crossbow arm is folded, it can be easily inserted into the support rod. A groove is deeply marked on the support rod, which is where the crossbow arrow is placed.

The entire crossbow is completely opened, not much larger than the palm.

"You are a newbie, and I don't have much time to teach you too much. Mr. Hyde asked me to teach you some self-defense skills, which will be something you can use in the future. This small crossbow is given to you, which is something I killed back then. It is not very useful to me, but it is just right for you. "This thing is made very exquisitely and is not large in folding. You can put it in your pocket at will. Although the crossbow arms are very short, the power of the crossbow arrows shot is definitely not small. You can easily shoot a fully armed guard within fifty meters. If you are used to deal with a knight in heavy armor at a close distance, there is no problem. The only thing you need to train is to improve your hit rate."

Kyle's generosity obviously surprised Rebbo, and Kyle's elusiveness also made Rebbo sweat all over.

"Broke the crossbow."

Following Kelle's instructions, Rebow began a new course.

For Ribo, although he absolutely had no intention of becoming a killer, the new knowledge obviously attracted him quite a bit.

Rebow has always believed that killers are the desperate people who sneaked into other people's rooms and stabbed daggers into the chests of those who were asleep.

He only now realized that although he had imagined it was roughly good, being a killer was not that simple.

Any killer is an architectural expert, and they must be able to tell at a glance where secret passages and secret doors may be placed.

Killers also need to have a wealth of knowledge about drugs, their sense of smell and taste can distinguish various types of poisonous smoke and poison.

Killers need to have the ability to skillfully manipulate various means of transportation, from single kayaks used by barbarians to light sailing ships often used in offshore shipping that could be operated by six people. As for the control and use of carriages and horses, there is nothing to say.

Compared to the horseman taught him that Eckert, the riding skills that killers need to master are much more difficult.

Because when escaping, there may not be a horse that is ready to stop waiting there, and the horse that snatches away from the escape may not be so tame and absolutely obeys the orders.

Therefore, for the killer, it is a very important skill to subdue a bad horse in an instant and ride a horse with a light back without any harnesses.

In addition, jumping down from a running horse is also a common escape method used by killers.

That is an advanced riding technique that requires a lot of skills and courage.

Ruibo finally learned this trick, of course the price he paid for it was huge. Although he did not break his hands and feet, the bruises and scratches on his body also made him suffer for several days.
To be continued...
