Chapter 310: Legendary Revenge

Ever since he heard from his subordinates yesterday about the assassination that occurred in the Trade District, Jibu's first reaction was that Aiwa had made a move!

It was just that without more information, he could not be certain it was Aiwa, but when Aiwa stumbled over to find him, he was completely certain that it was indeed Aiwa's doing!

At that moment, his heart was filled with relief, the hatred suppressed deep in his heart for over ten years suddenly released, but after the relief, he was about to face the reality of the situation—

The person Aiwa killed was the president of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce; even if it was only the president of the Savile Branch, that was still a big figure looked up to by countless people, and Aiwa was being hunted by countless people.

For a moment, Jibu wanted to turn Aiwa in, not wanting Aiwa to affect his normal life, especially since his wife had just given birth to a big, chubby boy for him not long ago.

But the next instant, Jibu felt ashamed of his own thoughts; for these ten years, it was Aiwa who had hidden his identity to get close to the enemy, it was Aiwa who had left the money he earned for him, and it was Aiwa's final strike that killed the enemy.

How could he, how could he abandon Aiwa!

However, it was not just the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, even the Savile Territory was hunting for Aiwa; being in the Savile Territory, what other way did he have?

Amidst all sorts of struggles and hesitation, the only person Jibu could think of was the Lord Xia Duo he was currently serving, especially since Lord Xia Duo had just concluded a marriage contract with Lady Niya of the Savile Territory.

Under these circumstances, if Lord Xia Duo were willing to help Aiwa, perhaps Aiwa could survive.

As for the possibility of angering Lord Xia Duo because of this, Jibu had hardly considered it, but what he did not expect was that the actual situation would be even more despairing than being honest with Lord Xia Duo—

Aiwa was cursed!

At this moment, Jibu's mind went blank; he truly found it hard to accept such a reality. If it meant exchanging the lives of friends and brothers for the death of an enemy, he would rather not have it.

Ten years ago, because of President Asaer of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, his parents, his younger sister, and Jibu's parents all lost their lives at the hands of Orcs.

Now, because of Asaer again, his friend, his brother, Aiwa was also about to die.

Fate! How unjust you are! Jibu wailed inwardly; he felt the whole world had lost its color. Such despair could perhaps only be compared to when he learned the identity of the enemy who killed his family ten years ago!

……

Watching Jibu holding Aiwa, the deep emotion revealed in his despair, Xia Duo was also somewhat moved. Since crossing over, he had never seen such intense emotion.

Even before crossing over, he had rarely seen such infectious, genuine displays of emotion. Interpersonal relationships in modern society were indifferent; even between lovers, there was rarely such deep feeling.

Perhaps only between immediate family would there be such intense emotion.

However, Xia Duo did not have such an overflow of kindness just to help them because of this. Before crossing over, on Earth, he had seen all kinds of sensational scenes.

There were plenty even more moving than this!

Even if he had the heart to help them, he had to act according to his ability and weigh the gains and losses; otherwise, it would not just be looking for trouble for himself, but the person being helped might also laugh at him in their heart for being too stupid!

Thinking this way, Xia Duo said to Jibu, "I don't think you don't know how Aiwa got cursed. Tell me, perhaps I can break it for him."

"Cursed? Break it?" Hearing these two keywords, Jibu's vitality returned to his body bit by bit, and his originally scattered gaze began to re-condense.

It was like a drowning person grabbing the last straw; even if one could not predict whether it would snap the next moment, grabbing it immediately was almost an inevitable choice, and the only choice.

"My Lord, My Lord, please save Aiwa, I am willing to offer everything, everything to you!"

Xia Duo frowned slightly and said again, "Tell me about the curse!"

The priest Laidun on the side was about to speak, but was stopped by his gaze. He stared at Jibu, waiting for his choice; if he was unwilling to even disclose the situation of the curse, then there was no need for treatment.

If he guessed correctly, Aiwa was the murderer of the homicide case the day before yesterday. Then, wouldn't it be nice to send him to the Town Hall and collect some bounty?

Perhaps that Eagle Chamber of Commerce had a reward too!

"My Lord, Aiwa's curse is because, because he killed Asaer of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce."

"Hmm."

Xia Duo was not surprised. When he learned that Aiwa was unconscious, he had roughly guessed it; after all, a homicide case had just occurred in town, causing quite a stir.

There was an extra person here capable of assassination, and he was in a coma; if he weren't in a coma, Xia Duo might not have thought of it!

However, he was now somewhat interested in the reason why Aiwa assassinated that so-called President Asaer. Pretending to be a guard and launching a sudden attack—if nothing went wrong, it was probably another story of grievances and grudges comparable to a TV drama.

It was just that he didn't know what role Jibu played in this.

"Tell me the specific situation!"

At this moment, Xia Duo was Jibu's last straw, the person who could decide Aiwa's fate, and even his own fate. Jibu dared not hide anything and immediately recounted a revenge story that had spanned ten years—

Ten years ago, the Orc Tide broke out, and the lord at the time conscripted all the chamber of commerce armed forces within the Savile Territory to resist the Orcs.

At that time, Jibu and Aiwa were both very young. Because their families were poor, after coming of age, they did not choose to enter the Mage Tower to seek the opportunity to become a Mage, but stayed at home to help.

Winter was relatively idle. That day, Jibu was looking for Aiwa to play, but unexpectedly, the chamber of commerce armed forces on the front line suddenly retreated, abandoning a large section of the defense line, and the Orcs surged to the rear all at once.

Because the Orcs came too suddenly, except for Jibu and Aiwa, whom Aiwa's father had stuffed into the cellar, everyone else in both families died at the hands of the Orcs.

After that, it was revenge.

Upon learning that it was because Asaer had willfully ordered the people of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce to retreat, Jibu chose to give up and later joined the Territory Army.

But Aiwa did not give up. He tried every possible way to leave the Savile Territory, and when he returned, he had already joined the Eagle Chamber of Commerce and become a member of the guard team.

During last year's Orc Tide, Lord Epps also forcibly conscripted all chamber of commerce armed forces, but he broke everyone up and reorganized them, and most were taken to the front line to fight fiercely with the Orcs.

Aiwa was relatively lucky to be left in the rear to be responsible for clearing out the missed Orcs, and he was recruited into the team by Jibu.

……

The later part was the story of killing Goblins, killing wild wolves, and killing Orcs together with Xia Duo. The reason that truly made Aiwa decide to take action was the departure of the Tower of Time.

Without a Mage Tower, relying solely on manpower to search for a High-level Rogue who was skilled in hiding was not that simple; even searching through Spells, it wasn't something just any Mage could do.

And what Xia Duo knew was that the Mages of the Tower of Time were currently busy repairing the Mage Tower; this was probably the reason why Aiwa had not been caught yet.

Perhaps there were other reasons; after all, the Temple hadn't come looking either.

Hearing the whole story, Xia Duo could not help but feel shocked by Aiwa's Firm Will; sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall was nothing more than this.

In modern society, it was rare to hold a grudge for ten years, but now he had witnessed it with his own eyes—to take revenge, first go out to learn skills, then go undercover to find an opportunity, and finally wait for the opportunity to kill with one strike.

If one were to find a Bard to adapt this experience, it might be a thrilling Legendary story.
