Assassin's Journey

Chapter 45 Let's withdraw!
It was morning when the Spanish soldiers found their king tied to a chair.

Terrified, they quickly untied the rope that bound the king, and knelt on the ground, waiting tremblingly for the thunder from His Majesty the king.

However, their majesty the king just had a sullen face, holding the note on the table that was pinned with his saber, and remained silent for a long time.

If you observe carefully, you can also find that his hands are shaking slightly.

Of course not because of the cold or any other reason.

Rather, be afraid.

In any case, he never thought that a person could actually sneak into the surrounded camp as if no one was there, and then knocked himself out and took away the Silver Holy Grail!
And during this process, no one found even a trace of it!
In other words, as long as that person last night had a little bit of murderous intentions towards him, he would not be able to see the sun today at all!

The more powerful people are, the more they will cherish their own lives, and they will not sacrifice for something that they think is not as valuable as their own lives.

So, now, His Majesty the King of Spain looked at the piece of paper in his hand and thought of a question.

"Go back, or die?"

This is what was written on the paper, and it is also what he thinks in his heart now.

Standing up suddenly, the Spanish king had firm eyes and a determined face, like a soldier about to set foot on the battlefield.

He finally made a decision.

All the soldiers and ministers on the side also looked solemn, as if inspired by His Majesty the king, the same eyes became firm.

Regardless of the mountains of swords and seas of fire, no matter what the future outcome will be, they will obey His Majesty's instructions without hesitation and follow in his footsteps!

This time, we will never let that damned person humiliate our king like this again!

Almost all soldiers and ministers thought so.

And His Majesty the King gave the order without hesitation.

"We withdraw!!!"

All the soldiers and ministers: "???"

"Your Majesty, are we not going to seek revenge on that person? Besides, we are so close to the Fountain of Youth, and we are about to..." The Governor of the Navy bit the bullet and asked first.

Once someone speaks, the matter is easy to handle.

So the soldiers and ministers on the side nodded in agreement.

"Then what can I do? The Fountain of Youth...you have to drink it!" The king said angrily, shaking his hands.

"We will do our best to defend ourselves this time..." The Governor of the Navy felt that his words had no confidence.

"Oh? Do you mean that you didn't do your best to defend last night? The king's rhetorical question immediately choked the ministers speechless.

"I don't want to say it a third time, now, the whole army, retreat!"

Following the king's second order, everyone knew that this was definitely an ultimatum, so they had to pack up their things and prepare to go home.

………………

"Fountain of Youth..." Jack looked at a leaf in front of him, and a drop of water on it caught his attention.

A water drop is an ordinary water drop, but its movement method is not so ordinary.

It is, flying towards the sky!
"We're here, Master." Jack judged without hesitation.

At Su Yu's request, Jack had no choice but to call Su Yu his master.

After a sneak and a conversation yesterday, Jack felt that a door to a new world had opened before his eyes.

assassin?All things are false, all things are allowed?

Jack still doesn't quite understand the meaning of this word or sentence.

But this did not prevent him from keeping it firmly in his heart.

As for Su Yu's request that he change his name and call him a master, Jack didn't quite understand why.

But just call it, and you won't lose a piece of meat.

"Yeah, I saw it," Su Yu nodded, looked at the symbol on the rock wall in front of him, and squinted his eyes, "Let's go."

Below the rock wall is a cave with some accumulated water, and inside the cave is the Fountain of Youth.

But... When Su Yu and Jack walked to the innermost part of the cave, they found that the cave was a dead end.

"Dead end?" Jack was a little confused.

"Of course not," Su Yu patted Jack on the shoulder, "You have to know that things like the Fountain of Youth, which are themselves fantasy creations, naturally cannot be placed in an ordinary cave generously."

Speaking of which, Su Yu took out two silver holy grails from the system space.

"Oh, I see," Jack suddenly realized. "When the two silver chalices collide, the unique sound will turn on a switch, and then the fountain of youth will appear?"

"Sounds reasonable," Su Yu nodded, not intending to tell how to open the Fountain of Youth that he had known for a long time, but as Jack said, lightly touched the two silver holy grails.

There was a crisp collision sound, echoing endlessly in this empty cave.

Jack even held his breath, not daring to destroy the mysterious atmosphere.

However, until the lingering sound gradually dissipated, nothing strange happened in the cave.

"It seems not." Su Yu tilted his head.

"What would that be?" Jack was a little embarrassed.

"Let me see," Su Yu turned the two silver chalices around, looked at the two words on the cups, and read it gently in Spanish, "Aqua de Vida (Water of Life)."

As Su Yu's words began to echo in the cave, some wonderful changes began to take place.

The sound of running water began to sound.

These water flows slowly spread from all directions of the cave, passed under the feet of Su Yu and Jack, slowly spread upward from the surrounding walls, and finally converged on the rock wall above their heads.

"This is it." Su Yu looked at the water above his head, and after jumping, he went straight through it!

Jack naturally followed immediately.

It's just that before he took the lead, he heard Su Yu speak in his ear very quickly: "Run, don't come in!"

Then, Su Yu pressed the top of his head with his hand abruptly, pushed him back, and fell to the ground of the cave again.

Jack: "???"

Naturally, he would not think that Su Yu wanted to swallow those fountains of youth all by himself. After all, Su Yu could kill him completely at any time at will, so naturally he didn't have to worry about distribution.

Moreover, he could hear a trace of... nervousness from Su Yu's tone?
Is there any danger in the fountain of youth?
