Chapter four hundred and seventy second guest elsewhere
After tidying up his appearance a little, Lin went downstairs and came to the hall. Uzov and his party got up very early and were gathering in the hall in twos and threes.
The four silver-bearded dwarves were also preparing their own breakfast. Normally, they would be helped by two girls, and their movements would be much faster. However, the two girls were not around, and Jermaine came down to help, but he was clumsy and was immediately overtaken by the other three.
I rushed out and sat alone at the long table waiting to eat.
And standing in the hall was a knight he had never seen before, wearing bright plate armor from head to toe.
He is a man who looks quite capable, and he is not the kind who only has muscles but no brains. He has a shrewd look on his face and a confident smile that shows he has a winning chance. To be fair, if he were a companion, he would be a
An excellent partner to rely on. But as an opponent, he seems to be less popular.
"Your Excellency." Seeing the magician coming downstairs, the envoy bowed respectfully.
"Sir." Lin returned the gesture.
At this time, the noble daughter came forward and introduced: "This is Viscount Bachmann's most trusted knight, William Markwater, who has the title of Knight of Silver Wind." After speaking, she turned her head and said: "This is..."
"No introduction is needed, I know who this person is." After stopping the noble daughter, the knight said: "I believe that you are very busy in your daily life and don't have much time to listen to our nonsense, so I will tell you my purpose."
"Please say."
The knight in front of him seemed to be preparing something. He thought he was secretive and quietly activated the magic that might have come from his equipment or other props. The fluctuation was so subtle that it was difficult to detect it using traditional perception methods unless he controlled the magic.
The ability of power can reach the most subtle level. But the magician in front of him is an alien, and no matter how small the fluctuation is, he can't escape the detection of the arcane eye level.
Generally speaking, if either of the two parties in the conversation uses magic, it can be regarded as a sign of hostility. So the reason for the other party to do this is to have a sneak attack, or is it for other purposes? Someone remained calm and even said to
There is some speculation about the other party's purpose of coming.
"Your Excellency's two apprentices are visiting the Viscount. Viscount Bachmann asked me to send a message, hoping that you will pick up your two apprentices as soon as possible. Of course, you can't visit a noble without any expression. The Viscount believes that destroying the ship will
The knife is a very suitable gift. Of course, it is best not to delay this matter for too long. Otherwise, something bad may happen to your two apprentices."
As soon as he said this, everyone stood up in fright, and some people even knocked down the bench. The one who was anxious and angry was not the teacher of the two girls, but the noble daughter who had been introduced.
.
"Haha." Lin smiled, thinking that he had indeed foresight, and his guess was almost close to the truth. He nodded calmly and said, "I understand, I will visit the Viscount as soon as possible and take back my apprentice."
Someone's abnormal reaction made the knight confused about the other person's thoughts for a moment. But the confused expression only lasted for a moment. He then used the same friendly smile, bowed and said: "Then I will report to Bach immediately."
Viscount Mann, I'm waiting for you, Lord Tripwood." After saying this, the figure flashed, and the knight left the hotel at an extremely fast speed.
It seems that the magic that the one blessed me with is for escape. That quick movement is not so much a threat to others, but it is more like running away. This is because I am afraid that I will be furious after my threat is spoken.
He's going to be killed, so prepare an escape route first.
"Those two girls are in their hands?" Fen, who just walked down the stairs, asked.
Lich wore a black cheongsam with high slits and gold trim today, black stockings and glass high-heeled shoes on her lower body. She wore a high bun, a silver phoenix hairpin, and a cigarette pipe in her hand. She looked... very unusual.
Yes, someone only felt abnormal, and the reason was the tobacco pipe in the Lich's left hand. Because good tobacco is considered a luxury and a rarity, she basically only smoked afterward, not at other times.
Take a bite.
Although I wasn't worried about the two girls last night, and certainly not so worried that I couldn't sleep, I didn't have the heart to do anything. However, Fen still took out the tobacco pipe, lit the tobacco, and took a rare puff.
One bite.
Seeing the puff of cigarette exhaled from Fen's beautiful lips, Lin calmed down and said, "It seems that he was taken away."
The pipe was knocked against the stair railing, and there was a "click!" sound, which made Uzov and others feel that the reason why they had always felt bad gradually became clearer from vagueness. However, Fen only knocked out the tobacco embers. She took a step
He staggered down the stairs and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Please, don't do anything!" The person who shouted so was Madeleine Benz, a noblewoman among Uzov's companions. She nervously ran to the magician and said: "Please don't worry Haru
The safety of Mi and Kaya is in danger. I know a nobleman nearby, and his strength is even higher than Bachman. If he comes to seek help, there will be no problem, and Harumi and Kaya can definitely return safely."
Madeleine grabbed someone's hand in panic, shook it a few times, and then said: "I am deeply sorry for Viscount Bachmann's choice. I will set out immediately to find someone for help. I will definitely let them both."
I came back safely. But there is one thing I want you to promise me. No matter what, please do not hurt anyone, or even kill anyone. Please promise me this."
Looking at Madeline's burning eyes looking at him with a bit of darkness, he felt that this woman was completely in a panic mood. Lin smiled and said: "Of course, of course, I promise you. I have promised you from the beginning.
There was no intention to kill anyone."
"That's great. Please don't worry about their safety. I will set off immediately to find someone to rescue Halumi and the others." As soon as she finished speaking, Madeleine didn't even bother to eat breakfast and ran out in a hurry. Then
A nobleman who can help is further away than Viscount Bachmann's territory. He may be able to arrive before dusk by galloping fast.
But no matter how fast the speed is, there will be no way to solve this matter until tomorrow. I just hope that before then, the current Viscount Bachmann will not do anything that will make people regret. I just want to say... that person is not a kind person.
I just hope everything is still in time.
Fen, who stayed in the hotel and sat across from someone, lit up a second pipe of cigarette. Although he was quite dissatisfied with this man's usual calm attitude, this time his strange calmness made the Lich uncertain.
What's going on in someone's mind? So I plan not to have an attack for the time being and wait and see what happens.
The dwarves acted a little at a loss. After spending some time with the girl, the two of them were much easier to get along with than their teacher and the older sister. They didn't want the girl to get hurt in any way.
As for Uzov and others, some were angry and some felt guilty. They wanted to say a few words to express their attitude. But before speaking, Lin first opened the map of Jasfan City and asked:
"May I ask, where is the territory of Viscount Bachmann?"
They had already seen this kind of map presentation once in Storm Bay, so they wouldn't make a fuss about it.
Uzov didn't think much and quickly found the location of Viscount Bachmann's territory on the map. And because the terrain nearby happened to be covered by the area covered by the first satellite launch, the Viscount's castle also appeared in the area.
on the map and pointed out.
After pointing at the map, Uzov wanted to ask this man what his plan was. When he raised his head, there was no sign of the magician. Only the lich holding a dry pipe and puffing out the mist was left. He wanted to say that the map was still there.
, why did the person disappear? When he lowered his head, the map also disappeared. Then he wondered what had happened, and when he raised his head again, even the lich could not see the person.
"This..." Uzov was stunned. He looked at his companions and several dwarves around him, and they all had the same expression. He said, "Nothing bad will happen."
"Well, didn't Mr. Tripwood promise Madeleine that he wouldn't kill anyone? There shouldn't be a big problem." Someone forced himself to think optimistically.
"Could he just use the ship-cutting knife in exchange for his apprentice?" After the optimistic noble, he thought that the magician was willing to give in. But in his tone, it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or worried.
In response to these words, Uzov could only sigh and said: "What you did this time...sigh." Looking at his companions who were members of the military nobles, he wanted to be angry, but he couldn't. Alliance with Ikaruga
The status of companions is different. These descendants of nobles sometimes have different ideas and concepts from those of them who are from ordinary people.
Just like the matter of the ship-cutting sword. Uzov knew that his noble friends were among them, and they were more or less contributing to the situation. He stopped these people several times, but without much success. Although he was a little helpless, it was not
Can't understand.
For these aristocratic descendants and women who do not have the first line of succession, in addition to marriage, if they want to gain a foothold in the aristocratic circle, they need to make great contributions. However, in a military country that has been in peace for a long time, without large-scale wars,
If you cannot obtain military merit, you will naturally have no hope of becoming a knight.
As an important weapon of another empire, being able to capture the ship-cutting sword for the military country is of course a credit. It may not be possible to get the big prize, but as long as a name is recorded in the credit book, it will not only be valued within the family, but also externally.
Will also extend an olive branch.
It's just something in the hands of a magician, how can it be so easy to take.
But people in the military are used to being arrogant. To them, ordinary magicians are just like ordinary magicians who can come and go at a moment's notice. They are no different from ordinary people. But this time there is a resurrected 'Devil King'.
Regardless of its authenticity; there is still a magician who is useless in all aspects of evaluation.
But, is that person really like the comments in the forum, leaving the Magic Tower and letting others manipulate him and get what he wants? The previous conflict in Storm Bay showed various signs, which was not what the rumors described.
When you meet a bad person, you can infer the other person's behavior pattern from what he has done before, and you can take precautions. But when a good person crosses that line, no one can figure out what he will do.
No clue. And the most disturbing thing is, where is the line?
Seeing the magician disappearing silently, Uzov, like everyone else, felt uneasy.
