"Beta?" The old man smiled. "That's a nice name." Katie, hurry up and greet the guests. What are you waiting for? "
Katie forced a strained smile at her mother. She had thought that she had shaken off this terrifying Spell Caster, but he had still found her. Furthermore, he had found her mother, the only thing she cared about.
The man had a fruit knife in his hand. She felt that if she dared to act rashly, the fruit knife would stab into her mother's body.
Despicable man. Katie hated him to death, but she didn't dare show it on her face. She didn't even dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Katie's eyes fell on his fruit knife, Liang Lidong put it into his spatial backpack and asked with a smile, "Katie, why don't we go out and have a chat?"
Kati was stunned for a moment. Then she smiled widely. "Okay."
The old man watched them leave the room. She took a bite of the apple and smiled. "No wonder you're right. Mr. Tedo is always so indifferent. So you have a better choice. As expected of my daughter. You're quite like me when I was young."
They walked outside. Because of the dark clouds, there was no moonlight here. It was dark in the slums. Liang Lidong had True Sight, so it was fine. Katie was an assassin. Although she didn't have real night vision, her vision was much better than that of ordinary people. She could barely see in such an environment.
A man and a woman walked in an empty alley at night. If there was moonlight, it would be a very romantic scene. However, the relationship between these two wasn't beautiful at all.
She walked quietly, but Katie's aura was slowly rising. If it continued to rise, she would soon run into a wall and fight to her death. However, Liang Lidong's words had completely dispelled her aura.
"The old woman inside. Your mother? "
Katie paused and stood still. Her eyes flickered with faint fluorescent light in the darkness. "Let my mother go. I'll do anything you want."
Hearing this. Liang Lidong glanced at Katie. Unlike the domineering female assassin he saw in the afternoon, the current Katie was wearing a light green linen dress. Although it wasn't luxurious, it had a side braid. No matter how he looked at it, she looked like a pretty daughter from a humble family.
Liang Lidong's gaze made Katie extremely angry, but she didn't dare to resist. After all, her mother had already been discovered by him. Unless she had absolute confidence in keeping this man here, she believed that her mother would definitely suffer a terrible blow if he escaped.
"Anything?" Liang Lidong smiled. "I need you to tell me who sent you to assassinate Princess Emma."
Kati breathed a sigh of relief at that question. She hesitated for a long time before slowly replying, "First Prince."
Liang Lidong nodded. This answer was within his expectations. But he didn't completely believe Katie's words. All living beings in this world, even friends and relatives, spoke lies and lies, let alone enemies.
But Liang Lidong didn't want Katie to become his enemy. After all, she was a believer that Woking specifically wanted.
"You love your mother very much?" Liang Lidong stared at her.
Katie carefully stepped back and didn't say anything. The most important thing to her was her mother. She had hidden her identity and hidden her mother in the slums so that others wouldn't know she had a mother.
She knew her value. A powerful assassin, and a beautiful woman at that. Such conditions would definitely attract a lot of covetous eyes. If they knew she had a mother, then her mother would definitely become a tool for those people to threaten her.
Having traveled in the dark world for a long time, she knew very well how clean the so-called big shots' moral integrity was. Don't expect them to have any pity or kindness for things they were interested in.
Priests had many victories. He was the only big shot that she had ever seen who still had a conscience.
Also, the young city guard she met today might be a good person. If it weren't for him, she might have been killed by this person in the afternoon. But fate didn't favor her. She didn't expect this person to not only come to her door again, but also to find her mother.
Liang Lidong knew she couldn't speak, but he could say, "Your mother is sick."
"It's the curse of life."
Although she already knew this was the truth, hearing it again still made her heart feel stifled. She said angrily, "I know this, I don't need you to tell me."
"I can cure it."
Katie's eyes suddenly widened. These three short words made her heart surge uncontrollably. But she was a professional after all. Despite her emotions, she still managed to maintain some rationality. "Are you sure you can cure it? I've taken her to many priests and priests, but even they couldn't do anything."
"Just because they couldn't do anything doesn't mean I can't." Liang Lidong chuckled. "Besides, I'm also a priest. Although I'm not a professional, I have some unique skills."
Katie, however, had an expression of disbelief. "You're a priest too? Your melee ability is completely comparable to that of a Warrior. "
"Hehe, that's what shows the power of our church." Liang Lidong walked down slowly and then continued, "The curse of life is a dead knot for many people. This is indeed a fact. If I had come a month later, your mother really would not have been able to be saved. But now, there is indeed hope for her to survive."
Katie hurried to catch up with him, her nostrils flaring. "What's your condition?"
There was no free lunch in this world. It would be better to say that he would have to pay a higher price for a free lunch. Kati didn't believe that the person she wanted to assassinate would be kind enough to cure her mother for free.
"I wonder if you've heard of Goddess Woking?"
Katie shook her head.
Liang Lidong had an 'as expected' expression on his face. Then he continued, "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of her. If I save your mother, you'll join our church and break away from the faith of the Shadow Lord. How about that? "
After less than three seconds of silence, Katie nodded firmly. "As long as you can cure my mother, this won't be a problem."
Liang Lidong threw out a book from his arms. It was a copy of Woking's teachings that he had written. "This is some of the ideas of our church. You can take a look. Also … don't follow the first prince anymore. There's no future. "
"If I join your church, I naturally won't work for the first prince anymore."
Liang Lidong shook his head. "That's not what I mean. I mean, the first prince has no future. Sooner or later, you'll be unlucky if you follow him."
"Why do you say that?"
Liang Lidong smiled. "Emma has a good personality. She's not interested in the throne, but even so, the first prince still sent you to assassinate her. If a man who even killed his own sister and has no tolerance for others becomes king, I imagine the whole country will be in deep trouble. "
"I work for him for money and to cure my mother's illness. If my mother's illness is cured, then I'll have nothing to worry about, do you understand? "
Liang Lidong nodded. "I understand. I'll be here tomorrow morning. Of course, you can run away overnight, but then you'll lose a chance to cure your mother's illness. You can make your own decision. "
With that, Liang Lidong left.
Katie stood where she was. She gradually calmed down and returned to her room.
The illumination spell that Liang Lidong had left was still working, and the whole room was as bright as day.
The old lady had just finished her fruit and looked like she hadn't had enough. When she heard her daughter's return, she said with a teasing smile, "Hehe, Kati, you look happy. It seems that Beta is really your Prince Charming."
Katie was slightly taken aback, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was happy that there seemed to be hope for her mother's illness. But when her mother saw her expression, she thought that she was overflowing with love.
"Mother, if you're cured one day, what do you want to do the most?"
"I'll definitely go back to farming. When I'm healthy, I'll have the strength to take care of myself, and I won't be a burden to you anymore."
There was a hint of apology in the old lady's words. She knew very well that her daughter must have sacrificed a lot for her illness.
Katie smiled. She hoped that was the case. Going back to the countryside to farm was better than staying in the capital. Although this place was prosperous, there were too many injustices and evils. In fact, neither she nor her mother were suited to stay in such a place.
She pointed at Liang Lidong's illumination spell, thinking that the spellcaster was truly strong for the illumination spell to last so long.
At this moment, the magic biography symbol in her arms was slightly hot and vibrating. She knew that the first prince was summoning her.
It was late at night, and the first prince was summoning her. Leaving aside his intentions, now that there was hope for her mother to recover, she didn't want to bother with this man who had ill intentions toward her anymore.
The first prince waited in the room for a long time, but Kati didn't show up. Slightly annoyed, he said coldly, "Go and find out why Katie didn't come. I know she's still alive."
"Katie is an Assassin," the black-robed spatial Mage said casually. The black-robed Spatial Mage calmly said, "If she wants to hide, it will be very difficult for us to find her."
"Then figure out why she didn't listen to my summoning first." The first prince smashed the table before him heavily. "Hollevin is about to be mine. If I can't even subdue a woman, how can I subdue all the elites in this country?"
The black-robed Mage thought for a moment, but still shook his head. "I'm only good at killing and teleportation. You should leave the investigation to someone else … If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
The first prince nodded. "I wanted you to work together to assassinate Emma's man. I underestimated his combat ability, but with the help of a spatial Mage, I don't think it'll be hard for you to kill him. But now that Kati hasn't come, let's put it off for now. It seems that she's been scared out of her wits by that man … Women are troublesome. They're naturally timid and overcautious. "
The black-robed Mage didn't comment on the first prince's words but simply left the room expressionlessly with teleportation.
