Chapter 17 Why is he?!

In the evening, the seaside villa of the apprentice of the wizard was as quiet as ever.

As usual, after dinner, Dai Wei walked out of the villa and started to be busy in the garden, pruning branches, weeding, loosening the soil, and watering them. She did it all by herself and did it very seriously.

She likes to do this because it can easily relax her in the boring spell learning process.

Soon, some miscellaneous work was finished, and fine beads of sweat oozed out from Dai Wei's forehead. She was not tired. The moderate labor made her feel physically and mentally happy.

The sunset is about to sink to the sea level, and golden light is falling down, shining on the entire sea surface, which is so beautiful. This is Dai Wei's favorite beauty.

She sat on the stone chair and admired quietly until the sun completely disappeared and the sky began to darken, she stood up and returned to the villa.

At this time, she saw a figure standing not far from the garden. It was a little dark. After careful identification, she found that it was her newly collected guard Luo Lin.

After putting on the armor, the boy changed his appearance, completely losing the feeling of being weak in the past. He now gave Dai Wei a very energetic and full of energy, like a vigorous tree.

Dai Wei was in a good mood and greeted her with a smile: "Hey, Rollin, have your troubles been resolved?"

Luo Lin also smiled back, stroked his chest with one hand, and performed the warrior etiquette: "It's over. Thank you Miss Dai Wei for your concern."

"That's good. But you are still young, don't think that being my guard is enough. You have to take time to hone your martial arts skills. If you are diligent enough, I think Uncle Harlem will be willing to guide you." Dai Wei likes diligent and motivated people, just like herself, and seizes time to improve her spell abilities at all times.

Rollin smiled bitterly, but he could not express his suspicion of Harlem, because he had no evidence and no one believed him after he said it. Instead, he would be suspected of having bad intentions. So he could only smile and said, "Yes, Miss David, I will have a good relationship with Uncle Harlem."

"Well, that's good. Then you can work hard, I'll go to rest too." Dai Wei nodded with satisfaction.

"Wait." Luo Lin shouted. He was waiting here specifically to exchange greetings just like this.

"Is there anything wrong?" Dai Wei asked.

Luo Lin glanced around quickly, and didn't notice anyone paying attention to this place, so he lowered his voice and said, "Miss Dai Wei, I have an important thing to say to you alone."

"Alone?" Dai Wei looked at the dimmering sky. At this time, talking to a young man alone would cause gossip. She shook her head and refused: "No, if you have anything to say, I'll listen."

Rollin had no choice but to talk to Dai Wei about his experience in the swamp wetland. This matter should have been said in the morning, but in the morning, Harlem's strange reaction made him think, and he didn't think he would involve Dai Wei so early at that time.

But now the situation has changed, so it’s not okay to say it. But Dai Wei has been on the third floor and he hasn’t found the opportunity to talk to her until now.

"This is the thing. I went to the swamp this time and was in the goblin camp... Oh, nothing happened, Miss Dai Wei, you have a good rest." Luo Lin suddenly changed his mouth, and his voice returned to normal tone, because he saw Harlem turning out from the other side of the villa.

He could not say it in front of Harlem, so as not to let him know that he had already prepared. Facing a level 15 warrior, no matter how well Rollin prepared, he would be a very dangerous and difficult opponent. If he wanted to win a bigger chance of winning, Rollin must try to hide in the dark.

Dai Wei frowned, and her keen observation made her realize the taboo of the boy Rollin towards Harlem. She didn't know why. Although the first half of Rollin's words made her very curious, since he refused to say it in front of Harlem, Dai Wei stopped asking.

She didn't want Harlem to feel neglected and alienated. This guard from a regular army was spent a lot of money and entrusted with many relationships. Finally, she came here for the sake of her mentor Viana. She had to pay attention to his feelings.

So she didn't ask and smiled, "Well, okay."

She walked into the villa.

Harlem followed and when he got closer, the captain of the guard gave a cold lesson: "Rollin, pay attention to your duty. Unless necessary, don't disturb Miss Daiwei at will."

Rollin lowered his head, and he noticed that the captain's hand was always holding the hilt of the sword, and his knuckles were white. This detail exposed the tension in his heart.

What was he nervous? What was there to be nervous? Rollin combined his past memories and became more and more sure about the two things that were about to happen tonight and that Harlem was a traitor.

"Yes, Uncle Harlem, I remember." Rollin was still very respectful on the surface.

"Well, go patrol and do your job well." Harlem nodded, turned around and entered the villa. He was Dai Wei's personal guard, who was responsible for her personal safety.

Luo Lin had no choice but to patrol outside the villa. By the way, he walked to the backyard of the villa and saw the window of the alchemy room on the third floor.

The window was open, there were lights inside, and there were faint figures flashing, which meant that someone inside, Luo Lin stepped back a little, saw the situation inside the window, Dai Wei was busy inside.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and there were clouds in the sky, covering the stars and the moon, without a trace of light, and I could not see my five fingers.

Luo Lin's heart moved. He could not passively wait for things to happen. He had to take the initiative. Now Dai Wei is staying alone in the alchemy room, which is a good opportunity to remind her.

But how should I remind her?

Climbing up to the third floor? It’s not reliable. The wall is too smooth and cannot climb up at all. And after climbing up, what will Dai Wei think of him?

After thinking about it, Rollin decided to write a note and throw it in.

Without paper, Luo Lin found a piece of rag and wrote his warning with black charcoal. Luo Lin didn't know much about the words of this world, but he knew some words that expressed the basic meaning, because there were all kinds of interesting mission books in the game, all written in the original text of this world, and there were Chinese translations. After reading more, he remembered some.

After finishing writing, he wrapped the rag around the stone, looked at the location of the alchemy room, and threw it in.

Third floor.

Dai Wei was concentrating on studying the magic characteristics of the Frost Fern in the house. She was startled by the sudden "click" sound in the room. When she turned around, she saw that there was a rag bag on the ground.

She was very surprised. She walked over to pick up the cloth bag and found that there seemed to be some pattern on it. She untied the cloth knot. There was a stone wrapped in the cloth bag. It was probably to increase the weight. She spread the rag. There was indeed a word on it: "Be careful Harlem. It is dangerous tonight, and there will be assassination! If you lose, I will respond at the stairs on the second floor of the villa!"

The handwriting was crooked, and a few of them were written incorrectly, but the meaning was very clear. Dai Wei frowned and felt a little angry. She suspected that this was a prank.

Assassination? She is the apprentice of the great wizard. Who dares to assassinate her? She also provoked her relationship with the most capable guards. This was simply sinister. Dai Wei looked through the rag and found the signature. She didn't know who wrote it.

If she knew who threw the rag, she would definitely punish him severely!

Dai Wei didn't take the news on the rag at all. She directly placed the strip of cloth on the alcohol flame and burned it, and then continued the previous experiment.

More than half an hour later, the door of the alchemy room suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Being disturbed one after another made Dai Wei feel a little irritated and asked loudly: "Who?"

"Miss Dai Wei, it's me." The voice of the guard Harlem came from outside the door.

"Is there anything wrong?" Dai Wei restrained her emotions and tried to make her tone appear calmer.

"I have an important thing to report to you. Can you open the door?" Harlem said. The door of the alchemy room was specially reinforced and there were spell runes blocked on it. This was the work of the great wizard Viana. No one would think of coming in without the consent of the master.

If it were the past, Dai Wei would have opened the door without any doubt, but today it was a little different. She was just about to open the door, but suddenly she remembered the reminder on the cloth strip and her steps stopped immediately.

The words "Be careful of Harlem" and "assassination" came to her mind, making her feel hesitant. Harlem knew that her daily routines would never disturb her in the past, but today she was a bit abnormal.

"If you have something, just say it right. There is no one here anyway." Dai Wei replied.

I paused outside the door for a while, and then a voice continued to come in: "Okay. Miss, I just received the urgent news that your father, Sir Homling, was shocked when he was taking a carriage home. The jazz accidentally dropped the carriage and his life was in danger. You need to go back as soon as possible."

When Dai Wei heard that something happened to her father, she felt anxious and her judgment dropped sharply. She hurriedly said, "Okay, wait, I'll come right away."

Although her father was called a slave, she was very fond of her and always responded to her requests from childhood to adulthood. In this villa, all the money she spent on learning magic was provided by her father, and Dai Wei had a deep relationship with Homlin.

She didn't care about anything, and quickly put on her alcohol lamp, put on her cloak, canceled the runes from the door of the alchemy room, and opened the door.

There was a guard Harlem standing outside the door, and he looked anxious. When he saw Dai Wei, a trace of imperceptible guilt flashed in his eyes, but Dai Wei was panicked and did not notice at all. Harlem said anxiously: "Miss, come with me quickly."

"Okay, you lead the way!" Dai Wei was in a mess and couldn't care about anything. She just wanted to see her father as soon as possible.

Harlem was in front and Dai Wei followed behind, and the two of them walked all the way.

For some reason, Harlem's speed was getting faster and faster, and it was so fast that Dai Wei couldn't catch up. When he reached the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, Dai Wei had to shout: "Wait a minute, Uncle Harlem, slow down."

Harlem seemed to have not heard of it, and he quickly went down the stairs. When Dai Wei arrived at the entrance of the stairs, his figure was gone.

"Be careful Harlem!" This sentence suddenly appeared in Dai Wei's mind. She felt something was wrong. At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight sound of wind behind her. When she turned around, she saw a black shadow approaching her quickly. There was a cold light in the black shadow's hand, which was a dagger.

"No, it's an assassin! This is a premeditated assassin!" Dai Wei was shocked. While quickly going down the stairs, casting spells. A cold air appeared in her hand. It was her best ice sting technique.

But Dai Wei soon discovered that her spell took half a second to cast, and the opponent's speed was too fast, and she would definitely stab the dagger into her heart before her spell was completed.

As the deathly cold light became closer to her heart, her heart was filled with despair and regret.

One thought after another flashed through her mind involuntarily.

"I am so stupid! I got the danger prompt in advance but looked down on it. I deserve it now to suffer such a disaster!"

"Harling is indeed a traitor. This man is really hateful! I trust him so much!"

"Who is the one who reminded me? What exactly does he know?"

"Yes, the second floor staircase... He said he would respond at the second floor staircase!"

This thought gave Dai Wei hope that she no longer tried to cast spells and counterattack, but retreated with all her might. The instinct of survival caused her body to burst out with amazing power.

She almost jumped directly from the stairs, jumped over half a floor at once. When she landed, she made a loud "bang" sound, and then she felt a slight "click" sound from her ankle, and the severe pain hit her mind.

She twisted her feet or broke, and she couldn't figure out what was going on now, so she just ran down the second floor regardless of everything.

At this moment, she felt that the dozen steps in front of her were extremely far away. The assassin behind her was approaching rapidly, but her speed was as slow as a turtle, and the distance between the two sides was approaching rapidly.

"Am I going to die?"

Just as this thought appeared in her mind, she saw a figure rushing out from the stairs on the second floor. He held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, climbing up the stairs quickly, and crossing her side, she saw his face clearly.

He lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, his lips turned pale, his eyes staring at the top of the stairs, David knew that there was a terrifying and powerful assassin there, and there was a fast and terrible speed.

"Rolin? How could it be him?" Dai Wei was extremely surprised.
