"Believe me, it's true! I really don't have that kind of relationship with the city lord!..."
Until the two girls left, Langton tried hard to explain that he did not have that kind of relationship with the city lord.
However, Alyssa's words immediately left Langton speechless.
"If you don't have that kind of relationship, why would the city lord let you become his personal servant?"
"That...I'm sorry, this is my secret..."
After hesitating for a while, Langton suddenly realized that he seemed to be in a dead end.
"No, there's no need to apologize, Langton. It's us who should be apologetic."
Lani nodded considerately, and if she thought about it from his perspective, she could also understand the pain in Langton's heart at this moment.
"Needless to say, Brother Langton, I believe there is nothing to do between you and the city lord."
"Well, I believe you too, Langton. There is also this matter that the teacher has not told anyone else. Only a few of us know about it now, so don't worry."
Alyssa nodded similarly, not wanting to poke Langton's sore spots any more.
"You really believe me!"
…
Finally, after sending the two dubious girls out of the city lord's mansion, Langton sighed tiredly.
"Hahahahahaha! There is no such relationship...ahhahahahaha!"
In his mental space, Dark Crow laughed crazily, almost breathless.
"Lord Dark Crow, my 'heroic' deeds have been spread among the resistance forces..."
Langton's sad voice sounded faintly, making Dark Crow feel a little guilty and stop laughing wildly.
"Well, actually that was your best choice at the time.
You think, as a person of unknown origin, you suddenly become a member of the city lord's palace, and you can even get close to the city lord often. If you want to avoid being investigated in depth by interested people, you can only choose to be a personal servant...
"
"Lord Dark Crow, you and I share the same body. You should be able to feel what happens to me, right?"
Regarding Dark Crow's defense, Langton's tone was gloomy.
"Yes, my reputation has been ruined anyway, so I might as well let it happen. What do you think, Lord Darkcrow?"
"You, don't think too hard, kid Langton!"
Hearing Langton's words, Dark Crow was startled. After all, he lived in Langton's spiritual sea, and he could see that Langton seemed to have really had this idea.
"Don't be impulsive. There is actually a way. Yes! Although your control over the Lord of Hanjing City cannot be exposed, you can add a layer of protection to yourself! For example, the Lord's adjutant.
You control him as well, and then you ask the adjutant to meet them and explain that you actually controlled the city lord's adjutant through secret methods and asked him to arrange a disguised identity for you, instead of you being chosen by the city lord on your own initiative!
As for why you didn’t say anything before, just say that the city lord was secretly watching you and couldn’t be exposed. Take action quickly before the misunderstanding has spread.”
After a long talk, Dark Crow finally calmed Langton down again.
"That makes sense, thank you, Lord Dark Crow, I shouldn't have threatened you just now."
After calming down, Langton also apologized to Dark Crow, and then immediately went to the city lord and asked him to call the adjutant over.
It's not too late, as time goes by, the news may not be what it will be.
While Langton controlled the city lord's adjutant, Anwes hid on the sidelines and watched the whole process.
What surprised him was that this process was very covert.
Langton simply stared at the adjutant and casually exchanged a few words with him. There was no abnormal magic power fluctuation during the whole process.
However, under Anvis's prying eyes, the city lord's adjutant's attitude towards Langton suddenly became extremely respectful.
This situation made Anvis frown slightly. With his current strength, which is infinitely close to the ninth level, he was unable to discover how Langton controlled the adjutant. This was very unusual.
Is it the effect of that book?
He recalled in his mind the strange book that was missing at the previous heads of state meeting. Anvis changed his mind and silently touched the old secret book hanging around his waist with his white-gloved left hand.
The dark green thick tome lit up slightly, and a hint of dark green appeared in Anvis's eyes.
As the power of the old secret scriptures attached, the perspective in front of Anvis suddenly changed.
On the bodies of the Lord of Cold Crystal City and the adjutant, traces of illusory light yellow mist were rising, making Anvis instinctively think of the ragged yellow robe on the phantom.
On Langton's body, a strange yellow mark like the sun was emitting invisible and strange fluctuations.
When Anvis saw the yellow mark, Langton suddenly turned back and looked in the direction of Anvis with alert eyes.
Just now, the Book in Yellow suddenly issued a warning to him. Outside the window of the castle, there was some unknown existence spying on him from that position!
"Your Excellency City Lord, there seems to be an enemy outside the window!"
His vigilance suddenly increased, and Langton was ready to enter a different space to escape at any time. At the same time, he signaled the most powerful Lord of Hanjing City present to come forward and check.
"I didn't find anything, Sir Langton."
However, after the city lord personally went to check the direction indicated by Langton, he gave an answer without any questions.
"Disappeared……?"
Langton was also a little confused. In his induction, the weird peeping feeling only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared in a flash.
After carefully arriving at the location where Anvis had just been hiding, Langton used a variety of spells to examine the surrounding environment, and then came to the conclusion that there was indeed nothing there.
Even the Lord of Hanjing City didn't notice it. Maybe the unknown existence has really left?
Although he was still a little suspicious, Langton could only give up.
In fact, Anvis just restored the hidden form of the Old Mystery Book and changed the observation position at the same time.
Langton's own strength is not enough to discover his secrets. He just accidentally exposed his whereabouts. It seems that Langton is particularly sensitive to the power of the old secret scriptures.
But no matter what, Langton's ability to sense the power of the old secret scriptures has aroused Avis's interest even more.
He planned to observe Langton for a while to see what hidden adventures Langton had after not seeing each other for such a long time.
It can even monitor the movements of the rebels, killing two birds with one stone.
Langton didn't know that there was a professional close to the ninth level who was eavesdropping on him all the time. After arranging the adjutant of the city lord to help him clear up the misunderstanding between the two girls, he re-disguised himself as an ordinary male servant and returned to the city lord in a low-key manner.
In your own room.
His room is independent, and it has a protective and soundproof array specially set up by the city lord, so that he can study things that are inconvenient to see in the light.
After activating the magic circle, Langton slowly took a breath and carefully opened the "Book of Yellow Clothes" while talking to the Dark Crow in his mind.
"Lord Dark Crow, are you sure there is nothing around here that is spying on me?"
"Don't worry, kid Langton, the unknown existence just now has indeed left!"
Dark Crow's determined voice sounded in Langton's mind.
"After you got that book, I seem to have acquired some new powers. If something is peeping nearby, it can't be hidden from my perception!"
After receiving Dark Crow's affirmation, Langton felt relieved and began to carefully read the books in his hands.
After the voyeuristic feeling just disappeared, he keenly felt that there seemed to be some special change in "The Book of Yellow Clothes".
Sure enough, when he turned to the middle part, Langton was surprised to find that between pages 13 and 14, there was a blank page that did not exist!
Staring at this page, Langton couldn't help but feel a little confused.
At this moment, as if sensing his gaze, a line of dark yellow text suddenly appeared on the blank page.
'who I am?'
"?"
Looking at this scene in surprise, Langton didn't know what to do.
However, he didn't need to do anything. After a moment, the original text faded away, and a new line of text appeared.
Different from the previous plain handwriting, the new words have a strange sense of madness, with rich and dark lines beating exaggeratedly, and a large number of sharp folds twisting and shaking crazily on the paper, as if they are trying to break free of the paper!
