Chapter 40 Why do all the good things happen to useless people? Assassination!

"Did I hear correctly? Your Majesty also rewarded that loser?"

"Master Dean, please don't call your students useless all the time."

Bolton said earnestly.

"His Majesty has been unwilling to accept what happened to Raven since he learned about it, so he made an exception and gave him a chance to enter Wind's End Island."

"Go back and persuade His Majesty to be more open-minded." The female dean said strangely.

Bolton: ...

The next day, accompanied by Christine and Goethe, Bolton announced Roddy's knighthood.

From then on he became the youngest viscount of Dante.

The students were shocked. It was unbelievable that he was conferred the title of Viscount at the age of less than 15!

You have to know that this is Viscount, not Baron, not Sir!
How many nobles struggle their entire lives but still cannot reach this threshold.

Looking at Rody, some of the people below were envious, some were jealous, and some were dissatisfied.

At this moment, Bolton's voice sounded again:
"In addition to being granted the title, Rody is also granted a chance to enter Wind's Rest Island."

"Wind Rest Island? What is that?" a student wondered.

"I don't know, it should be a small island."

"Huh, you are ignorant.

Let me tell you, Fengxi Island is an island suspended in the depths of the starry sea and possesses mysterious power.

If you practice there, you may get unexpected gains."

"Tell me everything. What did you gain?"

“Usually you’ll be promoted directly to a higher level, and if you’re lucky you’ll gain one or more new abilities.

Of course, there are also those who are beyond belief and can directly control a new kind of fuel, even ether fuel."

The person who spoke had deep envy in his eyes.
Fengxi Island is the place he most wants to go.

"That's great! Let's find a way to go there too." a student exclaimed.

“Don’t be so flattered. Wind Island is hidden deep in the sea of ​​stars. The coordinates are a secret and you will never find it.

What's more, you may encounter terrible floods on the road.

That thing is extremely terrifying, it can even cover several star regions, even a saint would be in danger of death if he encounters it."

The man was immediately deflated after hearing this and sighed, "I didn't expect Rody to be so lucky."

"It's because of my strength."

While the students were discussing, Bolton announced:

"In addition, student Riven possesses dual ether talents, and His Majesty has granted him a chance to enter Wind's Rest Island."

"Damn, did I hear you right, useless Raven?"

The crowd immediately went into an uproar.

"This loser? Is he worthy of entering Wind's Rest Island?"

"It's not fair, God is blind!" a student cried out to the sky.

"Yes, and two of them are blind!"

Not far away, Monroe was shocked and smiled bitterly:

"This kid didn't do anything, but he got nothing good. It's really unfair."

"Raven!" Quincy gritted his teeth.

If he was just jealous that Roddy got those rewards, then he was angry towards Raven.

This untouchable, why?
Raven himself was also stunned.

He knew about the value of Fengxi Island from other people. How could such a good thing happen to him?

Don't be in vain!
He walked onto the stage cheerfully.

Bolton looked at him carefully, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered:

"Your Majesty has high expectations of you. Please cherish the opportunity at Wind's Rest Island."

"I will, but you'd better lower your expectations," Raven pretended to shake his head, "I'm afraid you have heard about my story."

"Don't belittle yourself, kid. I believe in you." Bolton said against his will.

After the reward was given, a group of classmates looked at Raven with red eyes, which clearly showed jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Raven ignored them and swaggered out of the White Tower.

Just as I reached the gate, a crisp voice was heard.

"Brother Raven, I'm here!"

"Angie?"

Raven had a smile on his face.

Today, Anqi was wearing plain clothes and had short hair, she was incredibly beautiful.

What's more important is that she always has such a clear temperament.

"when did you come?"

"I came early, but this brother wouldn't let me in."

An Qi pointed to an old man outside the gate and said.

"It's Grandpa, be careful about how you address me."

The old man was the guard here. His hair and beard were all white. He was at least sixty or seventy years old. He glared at An Qi immediately.

An Qi made a face and said, "I'll call you brother next time."

Sweat broke out on Raven's forehead, and he quickly pulled her away.

"Angie, don't mess with him, or he'll take care of you."

"Don't worry, he was chatting with me happily just now, but he just wouldn't let me in, which was annoying." "Of course, except for the White Tower students, no one else is allowed to come in.

Come to my house, I have something good to tell you today."

"Really, Brother Raven, haven't you noticed that every time you see me, you have good things going for you."

Raven thought about it and realized that it was true.

"In that case, I'll treat you to a feast tonight."

"You cook!" The two pointed at each other at the same time.

At Anqi's house, the white-haired mother-in-law is watering the flowers.

They were clusters of colorful eagle tails, fluttering in the wind, warm and gorgeous.

Looking at these flowers, a smile appeared on my mother-in-law's face.

Just then, a figure came in silently.

He first huddled in the corner and observed for a while, then relaxed when he saw that there was only an old woman here.

However, he still waited cautiously for a while before approaching quietly.

"I'm really getting old and less and less useful." The mother-in-law sighed and turned to go into the house.

At this moment, the figure suddenly came behind her and punched her in the neck.

The old woman fell silently.

The man dragged her into the house and closed the door.

"Haha, I'm such a genius. If I take action here, no one will associate it with the organization."

The man chuckled.

He is a member of the Second Organization, and this time he was ordered to kill Raven.

For the organization, Riven, a genius with dual ether talents, was someone who must be eliminated.

But this matter must be done secretly and cleverly, otherwise Dante will inevitably carry out a major purge, and the result will be more trouble than gain.

He has been following Raven and Angel these days, and gradually a perfect plan has taken shape.

He first put a dagger into his mother-in-law's hand, then sat aside and waited.

According to the previous rules, Raven and the little girl would come back here together every week on this day.

But after waiting for a long time, the two people did not show up.

"Strange, what were they doing?
Never mind, let’s wait a little longer.”

The killer muttered to himself.

I waited for a long time, but the two didn't come back until dark.

"Has the matter been exposed?"

The killer was a little anxious at this time.

"That's impossible. Canary's plans are always perfect."

Just when he was anxious, a girl's voice came from outside the house.

"Grandma, I'm back! Burp!" There seemed to be a hiccup sound.

The door opened and Raven and Angie entered the room.

"what!"

An Qi screamed.

I saw my grandmother lying on the ground, her life or death unknown, and a middle-aged man sitting next to her, looking at her coldly.

"who are you?"

Raven stepped in front of Angie and pulled her back slowly.

After dinner today, it was dark, so he sent Angie back. He didn't expect to encounter this situation.

"Don't be nervous, I'll be leaving in a moment." The man stood up with a smile.

"You must be Raven, right? The little guy with dual etheric perception?"

Raven's heart trembled. The other party seemed to want to confirm his identity.

Could it be that his target is himself?

"Who's Raven? My name is John."

"Hey, John? If I hadn't seen your portrait, I would have been fooled by you today.

Raven, let me introduce myself, Miller from the Second Organization."

"The Second Organization!" Raven's heart sank.

He had learned about this organization from books.

It is Turan's notorious spy organization. Now that they appear here, it is obviously not coming for An Qi.

"This is a trap. Are you waiting for me?"

"Haha, yes, you are very smart, but you are going to die today."

The man advanced on Raven.

Riven pretended to be calm, secretly preparing the burning technique, and said:

"If you kill me, aren't you afraid that the White Tower and Dante's intelligence agencies will pursue you?"

The man shrugged and said lazily:
"This girl's name is Anqi, right? She's really pretty, but she's going to be miserable soon.

Because you suddenly went mad, raped her, and then strangled her to death out of fear of committing the crime.

As for the old woman, she killed you with a dagger when you were not paying attention, and then died of excessive grief.

Look, isn’t this story perfect?”

"Perfect!" Raven cursed.
