Before dawn, Anthony took the initiative to find Ronald and the others on the rooftop.
Although this operation is not dangerous, there are many things to be done and there will inevitably be trouble.
Rather than being in a hurry at that time, it is better to set off earlier than the scheduled time.
This is better than making mistakes while busy.
The three of them jumped off the rooftop and left the hotel. Without calling a carriage, they walked towards the target location.
As a friend of the caster Frank, Anthony was familiar with the terrain of the city.
Even though he moved forward with the darkness, he did not waste too long. Before the first ray of dawn appeared in the morning, he took Ronald and the others to a manor.
This building is worthy of the identity of these casters.
The open courtyard guards the luxurious villa at the rear, and both the gardening details and the building itself are impeccable. The excellent aesthetics in various details reflect the owner's elegant taste.
Anthony came to the main entrance without knocking on the door.
When the night watcher of the manor saw him, he opened the door and let him go, and pulled a cotton rope from the doorman.
Ronald had a strong hearing, so when he saw the movements of the Night Watcher, he heard the sound of bells in the building behind him.
Although this notification method is simple in structure.
But it is better than asking people to run over and deliver messages.
So just as the three of them walked halfway up the courtyard and were about to bypass the central fountain, several figures appeared at the entrance of the building.
An old man followed four and five young men.
This should be Frank and his students or relatives.
In the dark light, Anthony and the other party's eyes met, and the old man immediately rushed over with agile steps, and there was no way to see the impact of aging.
"Anthony, I'm so glad to have received your letter last night!"
Anthony hugged the other person gently, and a joking smile appeared on his face:
"I originally thought I was coming at the wrong time, but now it seems that maybe you won't mind my disturbance."
Frank said loudly without hesitation:
"How is it possible? This is when I need you the most!"
Immediately afterwards, the owner of the manor invited Anthony into the home, and asked about Ronald and Costadt's identities.
On this point, Anthony has a strong sense of confidentiality.
He introduced that he was his two apprentices in exactly the previous arrangement, and did not mention Ronald and others' true origins.
Ronald also followed the good, and put on a modest apprenticeship attitude, without arousing anyone's suspicion.
The group walked into the building and came to the hall to sit down.
The two elderly performers finally made a few polite words, and the atmosphere between them suddenly changed, and their eyes and expressions became serious.
"Anthony, you come to me a little suddenly." First of all, Frank spoke up and raised his doubts. "I just received the news of my knowledge and search yesterday, but you, the old guy, came together."
"IMHO, the timing of your appearance was a coincidence."
Anthony answered immediately, with no slight wavering in his tone:
"I'm really a bit suspicious about it, but you also know that I'm the firmest among us!"
Frank had no intention of circumventing this topic at all, but instead looked straight into Anthony's eyes:
"The old guy who was once the most determined is already a member of me who came to visit me tomorrow!"
“…”
The words come to the ground and the conversation stops.
Anthony and Frank didn't say a word, and they looked at each other in the hall.
Influenced by these two elders, the young people behind Frank even held their breath and did not dare to make any noise.
But Ronald and Costadt were a little helpless.
They had no feeling, but in order to maintain their disguise identity, they had to hold their breath all over.
At the same time, the time in the hall seemed to have frozen.
When someone was sweating coldly, Anthony suddenly relaxed his tense body and leaned back on the back of the chair.
"Okay OK, okay, I just said it's not okay?"
"I actually came here this time and I wanted to find you some things, but I just happened to have something wrong with you."
Although the other party gave in first, Frank, who was sitting opposite him, breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the initiative to pour Anthony a cup of tea, and then he returned to his previous welcome. He also looked at Ronald and Costadt behind him:
“As far as I know, aren’t you looking for a good successor?”
"It seems that you have achieved good results now. Did you come here today for them?"
Anthony nodded first, then shook his head:
"It's relevant, but it doesn't matter."
"Before you explain your purpose, you'd better let these young people leave first, let's talk alone."
Hearing this request, Frank's eyes looked a little strange.
Then he handed over the inquiring gaze and got a positive look on Anthony.
At this time, he opened his mouth and ordered:
"Since that's the case, you guys go out first."
"Anthony and I are talking alone here, and we are not allowed to come in until we are allowed."
The young people around him left immediately. Ronald and the others didn't want to be too conspicuous, so they followed him out.
"Take good care of the guests and don't be rude!"
Bang-
As the command was made, the door closed.
The young people on the manor were obviously relieved, and the leading caster took the initiative and immediately issued a request to Ronald:
"Sir, let's go to the restaurant first."
"It's still early, and you probably haven't had breakfast, so why not solve it here."
Ronald naturally agreed: "Thank you for your invitation."
The group left the hall and headed to the restaurant, which was also located on the first floor, and enjoyed breakfast under the care of the servants, which looked so happy.
Of course, these are all things on the surface.
During this process, Ronald was always paying attention to the movements in the hall, and his hearing was enough to detect the conversations that were happening there.
What should I say-
In the conversation with Frank, Anthony gave a very bold reason.
He expressed his unwillingness to be oppressed again and was preparing to use a heroic attack to express his position. This time, Frank was for the related matters prepared in the early stage.
"Frank, among us, is the closest person to the capital."
"I have been thinking about it, and only you have mastered the information that can work. You must help me this time!"
Frank immediately refused:
"You're too impulsive!"
"A wizard like you should not sacrifice for such reasons. Believe me, the suppression now is just the darkness before dawn, you should not give up here. Think about your school heritage, do you want it to end here?
!”
"I already have the best heirs about this." Anthony's voice sounded determined, so he was completely unaware of the other party's dissuasion, "And Frank, don't forget, you will still be here in a few hours in this place.
