Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 123

Chapter 123
"You are free now . " The words he said before did not matter, the last sentence was the most important . It needed to be said by Anfey .


The female slaves stood shocked for a second before they cheered . Some of them cried out of happiness, some hugged and jumped up and down . The youngest girls did not understand what "freedom" meant, but seeing their sisters and aunties so happy made them happy as well .
Anfey jumped off the wagon and walked to the four elves . Those elves looked excited . They looked at Anfey .
"Christian, take the antimagic bracelets off them," Anfey said calmly .
From Anfey’s point of view, elves were proud and stubborn . They were not easy to get along with . However, they were better than most human beings . There were many people who did bad things to the people who used to offer them help, but very few elves did those terrible things . Taking a deeper look into it, maybe this was the reason the culture of elves was getting weaker . They were too pure for this magic world, while the world was too much for them .
Elves either had to adapt to this world or be destroyed, which was a difficult choice the world had given them . Unluckily, elves had proudly chosen the latter rather than being influenced in a bad way by the world . Their decision could not simply be judged by right or wrong .
"Thank you . " The elves bowed to Anfey .
"You are welcome . " Anfey simply waved . He turned around and walked away .
Those elves stood still, shocked . Most human beings were interested in the world of elves or elves themselves . Anfey could have taken the opportunity to talk to them . Anfey walked away, which made the elves wonder . Anfey’s idea about the elves was simple . These elves who ended up as slaves probably had unimportant roles in the world of elves . In other words, their power levels were average at most . Anfey was not interested in knowing them . After they reached White Mountain City, he would send these elves to Tiger of Tawau mercenary group in the name of Alibaba mercenary group . By doing so, Anfey could gain the friendship of both Hotchbini and the elves . Besides helping Anfey winning over friendship, they were not useful .
Anfey had been dealing with many chores the whole day . Ahab’s merchant caravan was just a low-level one, but there were all kinds of items in it . It already took a day to write down everything in the inventory . Anfey decided to camp where they were and take a day’s break .
When everybody was busy doing things, Anfey held little Shally’s hand secretively and walked with her out of the station . They submerged themselves in the grass and disappeared . Suzanna saw them from a distance . She just smiled, shaking her head . She did not think it was a big deal . If it had happened in modern times, seeing so much news about perverts, she would surely have followed them . Anfey’s furtive moves were suspicious, but Suzanna did not worry about it at all .
Anfey looked around and listened to their surroundings to see if anyone was around them before asking Shally in low voice, "Shally, would you listen to me?"
"Yes . " Shally nodded seriously . "My sister told me to listen to you . "
"Would you listen to anything I tell you?" Anfey asked .
Shally thought about it and nodded, "Yes . " Shally was even purer than any elf . She did not have any idea that Anfey could do anything bad to her . Anfey’s furtive look did not make him look like a good person .
"Good . " Anfey smiled . He looked up and listened to the surroundings again . He thought for a while and finally made a decision . "Shally, are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Shally asked in surprise .
Anfey whispered to Shally to her ear .
"Huh? I don’t want to do it," Shally said .
"Yes, you will do it," Anfey said .
"No, Anfey," Shally said .
"You will do it . Are you listening to me?" What Anfey said was a typical conversation between a predator and victim . No one could imagine this kind of conversation could happen here .
"I am afraid…" Shally said .
"What are you afraid of? Just try it, just once," Anfey said .
Luckily, Suzanna did not follow them . If she had heard the conversation, she probably would not have been able to keep from jumping out to ask Anfey what he was doing to Shally .
"Anfey," Shally pouted .
"Did you just say you would listen to me and do anything I ask you to do?" Anfey asked .


"But," Shally said .
"Why are you talking so much? Just listen to me . " Anfey was upset .
"If I hurt you, my sister would blame me," Shally said .
"Are you kidding me? Do you really think you can hurt me?" Anfey had to dare Shally .

Little kids were easy to comfort . Shally frowned and looked like a little soldier . "Ok . If I hurt you, you are not allowed to tell on me to my sister . "
"Of course, I would not tell on you . I, Anfey, am not that kind of person," Anfey said .
"You promise?" Shally was still not so sure about it .
"Come one, come on, hurry up . " Anfey felt helpless . If he had not wanted be a joke for others, he would not have found Shally to do it with him . This little girl talked too much .
"Are you ready? I am firing now," Shally said seriously .
"Yes, yes," Anfey said .
"My greatest Fire God…" Little Shally started to chant with sincerity .
Anfey secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead . It was just a little fire ball . She did not have to ask for Fire God, did she? Luckily, he knew, if others saw Shally looking so sincere, they probably would think she was releasing magic .
After she finished her chanting, a little fire ball appeared in Shally’s hand . She shot at Anfey .


Anfey focused and tried to communicate with the fire elements that he could sense . This was a new idea he had yesterday . If the fire elements he called out would not hurt him, then maybe he could try to communicate with others’ fire elements . Of course, he was not so sure it would work . Otherwise he would not have asked Shally to shoot the fire ball .
As Anfey felt he was communicating with the fire elements with his telephathy, the little fire ball hit Anfey’s face . With a puffing sound, the little fire ball turned into countless sparks and disappeared . Anfey felt warm on his face without any burning pain . He had done it . Immediately, Anfey realized a serious problem . This little girl aimed at his face . What would happen if he had not made it?
"You; Shally . " Anfey could only heave a long sigh . He could not do anything to little Shally .
Shally was startled for a while before she ran to Anfey . She tugged on his shirt to asked Anfey to lower himself . She touched his face with her little cold hands . "Anfey, your face got a thick layer of skin . " It was Anfey’s turn to feel shocked . From Shally’s point of view, without a magic shield and combat power, the only way Anfey could counter the fire ball was because he got thicker skin even than magic armor .
Anfey was speechless about the way Shally thought . Shally’s comments did not sound so nice .
"Anfey, can we play again?" Shally screamed in excitement .
"We should go back now . Maybe we can play next time . " Anfey was just trying to test whether his idea would work . He had completed the task, so he wanted to go back and give it a little bit more thought .
"I want to play again . " Shally twisted her body to whine to Anfey .
"Next time," Anfey said .
"I want to play again," Shally whined a second time .
Their conversation right then, as before, could easily make people think something else was going on . However, Anfey and Shally did not feel there was anything wrong with their conversation . Shally had no idea, and the other did not realize .
"Ok, Ok . " Anfey nodded . He showed a serious face and said, "Not on the face, ok?"
"Yes, I know," Shally said .
"Ok, shoot . " Anfey started to focus with his telephathy . It would be good for Anfey to test his new idea a couple of times more . He tried to control the fire balls Shally fired at him as quickly as possible . If he could get control of the fire balls at the moment Shally shot them out, then he could easily beat any mages at the same level when his magic skills reached a certain level .
"Great Fire God . " Shally looked even more sincere . She wished she could improve the power of her little fire balls with more sincere chanting .
One, two, three…Anfey continued to have few feelings . They did not leave the forest for a long time . When they walked to the station, Shally was so exhausted that she could not even walk . Her magic ability was low to begin with, and she had been trying hard to hit Anfey . She not only emptied her magic, but also physically exhausted herself .
Anfey walked into the station with Shally in his arms . Shally had sweat all over her face . Her face was a little pale, with her eyes half closed . If any dark person saw this scene, Anfey would have a hard time explaining what happened between Anfey and Shally .
Suzanna and Vonmerge were talking when Anfey walked in . They hurried over . "Anfey, where did you go?"
"What happened to Shally? Anfey, what did you do?" Vonmerge asked in surprise .
"I did not do anything . We were practicing magic," Anfey answered calmly . Anfey had not done anything wrong, so he was not afraid of being questioned .
"But . . . " Vonmerge looked at Shally in surprise and thought to himself, "Look at poor Shally . How could Anfey say they did not do anything?"
"Sis, it was fun . " Shally opened her eyes and barely had strength to smile .
"What did you play?" Suzanna asked in curiosity .
Anfey suddenly coughed . He did not want anyone to know his combat power .
Shally realized as well . "This is a secret between me and Anfey . I am not telling anyone," Shally answered proudly . She was proud to be able to share a secret with Anfey .
