——It’s a little late. Sorry, I woke up feeling dizzy today and my nose was blocked. It seemed like I had a heat cold. Well, let’s recover today and keep up the two updates. I’ll make up for the missed updates tomorrow.
A fast-paced guy like me will suffer from serious consequences for two days after the outbreak. Please give me a monthly ticket to comfort me~

Inside the VIP restaurant.
Granneuve asked the guard to light a thick black cigarette, took a deep breath, and then sighed rudely: "The girl with musical literacy is really good, compared to the previous ones who wanted to pounce on her immediately after giving her gifts.
It’s much better in my arms.”
"Boss Granneuve, I feel like Miss Grace doesn't like you very much." His close guard whispered.
Granneuve laughed loudly: "That's how you feel about accomplishment. Don't you think it's great to conquer a reserved girl with your own charm?"
"Charming..." The close guard was speechless, but he knew very well that being rude, uneducated, nouveau riche, and lustful were just the protective colors of Boss Granuve, otherwise why would he be one of the maintainers of Sturk's underground order?
one.
At this time, Grace walked in from the door opened by the waiter.
Graneuve hurriedly put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and then said with some confusion: "Grace, why are your eyes a little red and swollen? Who bullied you?"
"No, it's just that in order to prepare for the concert, I often stayed up late to practice, so I felt a little dry and sore from the cold wind just now." After Grace temporarily got over her worst nightmare, she was able to lie to Granneuve with ease.
Take your time, no flaws.
Graneuve's swollen face showed concern: "I'll ask my family doctor to prepare some medicine for you tonight to help you eliminate eye fatigue."
"Thank you, Mr. Granneuve." Grace thanked her and reached out with a smile, handing the tightly folded note to Granneuve, while holding up the red wine glass in her left hand.
Graneuve thought that his efforts had achieved results. Although this reserved beauty did not dare to express her affection in person, she wrote a note to herself: "Hey, those who study music are romantic."
Grace took a sip of red wine and watched Graneuve open the note, waiting for the opportunity. When he was about to see the content but it had not been fully unfolded, she slowly put down the glass and said: "Mr. Granuve
, a gentleman I met in the bathroom asked me to bring it to you."
If Granneuf had waited until he saw that the content in the note was not written by him, then his ambiguous action of passing the note just now would indicate that he had a close relationship with Mr. Evans, rather than what he said.
A strange and mysterious person, but if it is stated in advance that a rich man like Granneuve may not open it in person and may hand it over to a guard, which would violate Mr. Evans's instructions, so the timing is the most important. And in
For similar things, Grace feels that women have a natural instinct.
"You didn't write it..." Granuv asked in surprise. At the same time, he subconsciously folded and unfolded the last layer of paper and saw a line of text on the note.
His voice suddenly stopped and his expression changed continuously, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Haha, a guy who always remembers the past. He really worked hard for this, and he actually found you.
By the way, Grace, what does he look like?"
While talking, he lit a match and burned the note in the ashtray, which seemed not worth mentioning.
What happened in the past? Grace thought in confusion, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Granuve, I didn't know that my temporary kindness would cause trouble to you. Well, he is a black-haired man.
Hitomi..."
Describing the appearance with words is very vague, and one can only focus on a few features. Grace never thought of describing Mr. Evans's appearance, so after she finished describing it, Graneuve only knew that it was a man.
He is an elegant and handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, and you can meet two or three guys who fit this description in various high-class occasions in ten minutes.
Granneuve waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's a small matter, so you don't need to pay attention to him. Grace, let's continue the romantic dinner."
"Romantic..." Grace felt nauseous again, but now she was in an unprecedented relaxed and happy mood. She showed the note given by Mr. Evans to Granneuve. Even if she completed the task, she would
As long as Mr. Evans acquiesces and does not reveal the truth, he can continue to live such a beautiful life.
…………
In a dark corner outside the "Shark" restaurant, Lucien, who had used a magic "disguise" to change part of his appearance, quietly watched Granneuve deliver the goods on a golden and ornately decorated boat tied with satin.
Reese goes home.
"Friend, come out, don't be sneaky." Lucien suddenly withdrew his gaze and whispered to the empty place in the narrow alley.
An inexplicable sneer sounded, and a black figure protruded from the wall: "It seems you are the one stalking and peeping."
This was a middle-aged man with an undisguised appearance, with a thin and gloomy face, flaxen hair draped over his shoulders, and brown eyes with a cold and ruthless look. He was not any of Granneuve's guards.
He took a closer look at Lucien's handsome appearance with black hair and black eyes, then nodded and said, "Are you a magician?"
When Lucien used the "disguise technique", he did not change his hair color or eye color, and ensured the main characteristics, making himself look like another person while trying to be as close to Grace's possible description as possible, allowing people to see this secretly peeping person.
The guy felt that he should be the mysterious person who handed the note just now: "Of course, if I was not a magician, how could I ask Mr. Granuv to arrange a trip to Arlinge in the Kingdom of Holm?"
When speaking, Lucien did not hide the surge of supernatural power that was ready to go off, allowing experienced people to understand that this was magic at a glance.
"Haha, sir, I think you made a mistake. Graniff is not the liaison of the Magic Council." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I don't know where you heard it from.
This information, but in fact, I am one of the liaisons of the Magic Council in Stork, please call me 'The Ferryman'."
Then, he added: "Because there are too many magicians like you who have received wrong information, so we have been tracking Granuv for a long time and monitoring his surroundings to facilitate finding and contacting you. Look, I will find him soon."
about you?"
The expression on Lucien's masked face was slightly dull, as if he was always wearing a faint smile. He didn't believe the "ferryman"'s explanation at all. There was nothing too mysterious in the note he gave to Granneuve.
, it was just a note from an ordinary magician seeking contact and leaving a meeting place. The only special thing was that the note directly called Granneuf the liaison of the Magic Council.
Based on the caution shown by Graneuve, Lucien estimated that he was untrustworthy and would not be able to wait for any response without any guarantee, because he would be worried that this was a test by the night watchman, so he would definitely not send anyone there.
The meeting place. Otherwise, once someone goes there to meet, based on the fact that he has read the note, Graneuve will be extremely suspicious. And for the church, with this level of suspicion, he will not be able to pass the exam.
Lanneuve's identity, status and the great aristocracy behind him.
But Lucien's purpose was just to alarm Granneuve and ask him to send people to secretly search for peepers around him.
In this way, he can "find" himself who was deliberately exposed and make sure that there is no night watchman nearby. Moreover, even if he is a member of the church, as long as the "ferryman" is not caught and tortured, Granneuve will not be a big suspect.
After all, if Lucien hadn't been sure that Felipe would never lie about this kind of thing when facing the "professor" who arrived at the same parliament headquarters, he might have really believed the "ferryman"'s explanation.
"How can I believe that you are the liaison of the Magic Council in Stork?" Lucien asked in a tone that was slightly "excited, excited and suspicious".
"The Ferryman" chuckled and said: "If you don't believe it, then I'll leave. Anyway, it's not me who loses. Think about it, if I were the night watchman of the church, I could do it now, why would I have to deceive you one by one?"
Is the Ring Magician going somewhere else? You must know that once they take action, the Night's Watch can have no scruples, but you are different. You have to be distracted and worry about the delay of time. Stork's many priests, bishops and Night's Watch will follow one after another.
Come on!"
From the magic fluctuations Lucien deliberately revealed, he judged Lucien's approximate strength.
"Okay, I believe you." Lucien replied pretending to be helpless.
"The Ferryman" shook his head: "It's useless for you to believe me. The question now is whether I should believe you? There are many renegade magicians in the church's night watchman."
"Moreover, two months ago, Mr. Felipe and twenty-two magicians tried to sneak through the blockade but were accidentally discovered. However, after that, he led these magicians to forcefully break through, making the church leaders furious.
Not only did we list him at the 359th position in the purification sequence, but we also thoroughly cleaned up Stork's underground world. Due to the disguise of some Night Watchmen and the emergence of internal traitors, we suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to
Be more cautious and careful in this regard."
"This guy Felipe has returned to the Magic Council and caused me so much trouble. Well, my ranking in the purification sequence has become 360th?" Lucien asked with his mind wandering: "Then how can I prove it?
I have nothing to do with the church?”
If Grace fails to keep the secret and lets Granneuve know that she is Lucien Evans, Lucien will directly use Natasha's identity and the "Holm Crown" award ring to gain trust.
Although it is easy for people to associate the professor with himself afterwards, it will only happen sooner or later when his identity is exposed.
But now it seems that Grace has kept the secret very well, so Lucien will naturally not take risks.
"The Ferryman"'s voice became a little more relaxed: "Either you ask the magician of the Parliament to prove it for you, such as the one who told you about the existence of the Parliament and Sturke's liaison."
"After he told me, he left because of other things, so I didn't even know his identity and name." Lucien couldn't be said to be a professor or Felipe.
"The Ferryman" was not surprised and continued: "Either do something that is enough to prove your identity."
"What?" Lucien thought, could it be a petition?
"The Ferryman" chuckled and said: "Last month, a traitor appeared within us. He forgot that his knightly strength was inspired by the potion given by the council. Not only did he defect to the church, but he also leaked many important secrets. Many of our companions died. In addition, more than thirty magic apprentices who passed the examination and had excellent qualifications were buried in the Storm Strait because of him when they were about to go to the Parliament to start a bright future."
"However, this traitor was awarded the Order of Knighthood by the city council and lived a good life. If you can kill him, it will undoubtedly have nothing to do with the church." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better. Update faster!)
