The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 17 Error
Baiquan Street is located on the south side of the "wooden house area" and not far from the shanty town area.

Lynn remembered Carter saying that she usually walked down White Spring Street into the shantytown and then took the shortest route back to her home.

Lynn searched along this route.

He passed by low sheds and through alleys until he entered Baiquan Street.

During this time, apart from a few working children and a vigilant woman, he did not meet anyone else, let alone see Carter.

Turning around, Lin En continued searching in the shantytown before stepping into Baiquan Street.

Baiquan Street, which now belongs to the wooden house area, is obviously cleaner and more orderly than the shanty town area.

The pedestrians here are less vigilant and have more spirit on their faces, no longer looking dull and monotonous.

Occasionally he would see a patrol in armor passing by.

The security here is much better than that in the shantytown... That's why Lin En checked the shantytown again first.

"No. 178, Baiquan Street, the Wheeler family... This should be it."

Lin En walked into a branch road and came to a wooden house. He hesitated and knocked on the door gently.

"Carter...you mean the old lady? She went back half an hour ago. Sorry, there are a few more places that need to be cleaned, so I asked her to stay for a while longer."

A young lady opened the door and answered, her voice gentle and her manner polite.

"I just left half an hour ago... Could it be that I just missed it?"

"Thank you for telling me this, Mrs. Wheeler." Lynn replied, frowning inwardly and continuing to search on White Spring Street.

When we reached a fork in the road, passers-by complained:
"Who dumped horse manure here..."

Lin En was startled and quickly walked in following the sound.

In a corner of the wall, he saw some scattered dry horse manure.

Then, a familiar voice came from not far away:

"Boss, do you remember how we dealt with Willy before, the woman whose husband died?"

It's Chidi's voice!

"Who remembers her? I just remember that she seemed to have died in the end. It was such a pity. She had a child..." This was Bathory speaking.

“Hahahaha——” Chidi laughed loudly.

Bang.

"Keep your voice down, this is not the shanty town!" Bathory cursed and patted Chidi's head.

Then he continued to look at Carter with a grin.

"So, old woman, do you know how serious the consequences will be if you ruin our good deeds?"

Lin En's face was gloomy. He could hear the sound coming roughly from the front right.

But... He glanced at the narrow and winding alleys on both sides, then turned back to look at the wooden house in front of him, and his heart moved.

Swish!
Then he took a few steps back, took a running start, jumped up, and held the top of the house firmly with one hand!
The White Crow swordsmanship has achieved considerable results. The arm looks thin, but it is actually very strong. With just a strong pull, Lin En turned over like a kite and jumped onto the roof!

Crouching low and passing through several connected houses, Lin En quickly found the source of the sound.

This was a fairly wide alley. Bathory and his companion were standing in the middle of the alley. In front of them was Mrs. Carter, who was sitting against the wall. It seemed that something was stuffed in the old lady's mouth, and only some stammering sounds could be heard.

There was no road in front of the roof, so Lin En jumped down from the roof.

boom.

Bathory and the other man heard the noise and turned around subconsciously.

Then they saw a thin figure walking towards them slowly in the sunlight, and pulled out a shining dagger from his shirt with one hand!
The two people who hadn't figured out the situation yet suddenly showed a look of horror on their faces.

"Sir, have we done something wrong?" Bathory asked subconsciously in a trembling voice.

"...Boss, it looks like that guy!" But Qidi on the side took a closer look and suddenly said in surprise.

And while the two were still in a daze.

Carter, who had fallen to the ground, slowly stood up and then ran away.

Bathory and the other man noticed it and tried to stop them, but Lynn stepped forward and blocked them in the middle.

"Little Lynn, run, run separately! There will be a patrol team outside." Carter took the rag from his mouth and said anxiously, pulling the corner of his clothes.

The old lady's cheeks were bruised and purple, one of her eyes was swollen so badly that she could hardly open it, and there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth and nose.

Lynn's expression turned even colder. He shook his head slightly, asked Carter to stay behind, and walked forward holding the dagger.

He really didn't expect that these two thugs would dare to come and cause trouble.

Ellison was right. These thugs were like moss growing over and over again in the damp corners of a shed. If they were not eradicated, they would come back sooner or later.

"What should we do, Boss?" Chidi looked at him like this, touched his buttocks and took a half step back in fear. But Bathory was not as weak as before, and there was some anger in his eyes:
"I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be you, an ignorant idiot!

"Just because you injured Chidi with a sneak attack last time, you think you're so powerful?"

Clang.

Bathory drew the dagger from his waist, looked at Qidi, and said viciously:
"We have been hiding here and there for the past two days, and it's all his fault! And the wound on your butt, aren't you angry?

"Don't be afraid, he's just a skinny boy, let's go together!

"Just try out your new sword to see if it's sharp enough!"

As Qidi listened to Bathory's encouragement, he couldn't help but feel resentful.

After failing to blackmail Lin En that day, they were targeted by the Iron Claw Gang because of the loss of money.

If Bathory had not been alert and changed his residence immediately, they would probably have died in some dark corner.

Of course, these two people would not think that they were wrong, they would only think that it was all Lin En's fault!

If Lin En had honestly accepted the blackmail at that time, how could they have lost money in panic, and how could they have been hiding here in fear!
It was for this reason that when they met Carter today, they chose to follow and attack him without hesitation.

"Boss, I want to kill this guy!"

Qidi roared, his face flushed, and he drew the sword behind him, and rushed towards Lin En with Bathory!

Bathory was originally one step ahead of him, but as he looked at Lin En's calm expression, he ran and unknowingly fell behind Qidi.

Mrs. Carter stood next to Lynn and felt a little more relaxed.

After these days of contact, she realized that Lin En was not an impulsive person. Since he dared to stand here, it meant that he must have some confidence.

"Lin En, this is Baiquan Street, not the shantytown. It will be very troublesome if we kill someone..."

Thinking of this, Carter just gave a final warning and stepped back two steps, keeping a proper distance.

This will neither affect Lin En's battle nor prevent him from being affected by Bathory and the other man and becoming a burden to Lin En.

But she didn't go very far, because...

Because if Lin En was really acting on impulse, then her old bones could buy him some time and make it easier for him to escape.

The boy still has an infinite future, he can't die here. But she is different, she is just an old thing who is about to die...

"what!!"

Qidi held the sword in his right hand and slashed towards Lin En with a ferocious look on his face!
It looks very imposing, but in fact it is disorganized.

Lin En just slightly turned sideways and dodged it easily. Then, while the opponent was using all his strength, he put his left palm together and hit his wrist hard!

Bang!
A dull crashing sound was heard, and Qidi screamed. He felt as if his wrist was broken, and the sword in his hand could no longer be held, and slipped out of his hand!

White Crow Swordsmanship is a swordsmanship that focuses on agility and burst.

Although Lin En has been practicing for a short time, these characteristics have already shown in him!
The sword fell on the cobblestone road at his feet with a clanging sound.

Lin En wanted to follow suit, but Bathory behind Chidi opened his eyes wide, hurriedly took two steps back, and then shouted at the top of his voice:

"Help! Someone's killing me!

"Help, it's murder!!"

The sound was so shrill that even a passing wild cat was frightened and its fur stood on end. It jumped high and disappeared in a few seconds.

Lin En's expression remained calm. He picked up the sword that Qidi dropped and stood up straight.

The surroundings gradually became noisy, and figures began to peek out of the surrounding wooden houses and alleys. If you listened carefully, you could vaguely hear heavy footsteps approaching quickly.

Lynn glanced at Bathory and the other man, then turned around and quickly left the alley with Carter.

Not long after walking, he stopped, handed the dagger to Carter, and said slowly:
"Mrs. Carter, you go back first. I'll be back later."

"Little Lynn..." Carter showed worry on his face, but didn't say much. He just held his hand and reminded him, "Be sure to be safe."

"I will."

Lynn nodded and turned to leave.

When he reached the wooden house not far away, he stopped for a moment, took a running start, and then nimbly climbed up and returned to the alleyway.

In the sunlight, his light gray eyes were particularly calm.

As Mrs. Carter said, that lane next to the main street was not a suitable location.

He actually had no intention of eradicating the problem completely there.

Therefore, if Bathory and the other two thought that they could escape with such a little cleverness, then Lin En could only say -

They are wrong.
