Chapter 384: All in the Trap (1)
"Blue star, heh! What is this man calculating?"
"He's just a pretending civilian!"
The guards looked at each other, not believing what Glori was saying. The medium-sized guard, seeing the colorful light raised by Glori, thought it was a trick. So, the medium-sized guard was the first to move, blocking the glare of light as he struck Glori's clenched fist with the sword at his waist.
Glori, not moving.
Hearing the guards' words, Glori thought of Lord Javier again. It was as if Lord Javier had become something that Glori had to think of all the time. In particular, Glori remembered the hints given by the knight in the courtyard.
Does the knight know what Lord Javier is planning?
Glori doesn't quite know. However, Glori knew that the knight was kind. Otherwise, the knight wouldn't have avoided Lord Javier and winked to get Glori's attention, and convey a hint of concern. At the same time, Agatha also issued a warning to Glori. As if there was something that could threaten Glori, he hid in the inn.
Don't trust Lord Javier, and don't get too close to Agatha.
Glori, and he can only find the answer from another angle - Leo, who is indeed the person Glori has to rely on. But why hasn't Leo come here yet? Didn't he tell Agatha everything?
Frowning, he almost forgot the guards in front of him, but Glori didn't forget the children under the round table. From beginning to end, Glori hadn't looked closely at who the child was hiding next to him. However, Glori knows that a child, even if he is at fault, should not be chased by the guards, let alone be greeted by the guards.
To make matters worse, the guards should not threaten to throw a child who has made a mistake into a pile of monsters. Loosening his fist slightly, reining in the blinding rainbow light, Glori re-examined the medium-sized guard in front of him.
Upon entering the tavern, the guards lowered their spears and wore only swords. To Glori's envy, the swords of the guards were not only made of steel, but also polished to a shiny finish. Unlike Glori's blue sword, which was wrapped in strips of linen, it was heart-wrenching - the curling blade was no longer a big deal, and breaking was an unacceptable fact.
After all, Glori suffered a loss in the battle with the Knight of Light traitor. It was as if the scrap metal that would make Glori's sword break was also planned in that trap.
It doesn't matter, Glori knows that Blue is the same as herself, and she is not afraid of difficulties. So, let's continue to think about Lord Javier!
It would be a good thing if you could get some clues from the mouths of the guards. Tilting her head to let Fiona block the children under the round table, Glori had to finish what he had to do. With an icy gesture, Glori asked.
"Hey, do you know what's going on in the Church of Light? I've heard someone has seen Lord Javier. However, the man said that Lord Javier was busy with his business. β
"Javier, the old man of the Church of Light?"
The medium-sized guard, a little interested in Glori's words. If you can get some information from Glori's words, you will have a condition for receiving a reward. For the time being, let the civilians in front of you continue to be aggressive for a while!
"Tell me, what does the person you're talking to know?"
"No, you can't talk about those things right now. Because, I can't guarantee that you will do me any good. Besides, you've got to get my friends with me. She's not the bad person you think she is. And I'm just looking for a few free drinks. β
The matter of free drinking is just a way to protect those who are hiding under the round table. I'm afraid, only Glori and Fiona know the truth.
While making demands and forcing explanations, Glori did not back down. It seems that staying tough has become Glori's way of dealing with bullying the vulnerable. Without waiting for the guards to agree, Glori pointed to the door.
"I think we can go and talk close to the door. Because, I have to prevent you from doing something unpleasant. β
"Okay, shall we?"
The medium-sized guard agreed happily.
Now, Glori has gathered his divine powers. Without the Rainbow Light, the tavern returns to darkness. And those who were curious because of the dispute also sat down with peace of mind.
As for some of the people who were afraid, they had already pushed down their chairs and fled. In addition, the drunken man at the round table at the door gave up his seat to Glori as if he had nothing to do.
"Come, this place is yours!"
"Thank you so much!"
Glori gave a smile in return. By the way, he pointed to the side closest to the door. Fiona was clever and sat down next to the door. Without saying a word, she waited intently for Glori to deal with the guards.
Oh, Fiona, she's pretty calm.
With peace in mind, Glori simply let the conditions escalate.
"Hey, you guys, you should help me pay the bills with this clever girl. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you anything important. You should know that those who starve every day are not afraid of the methods you have spoken. Especially, people like me...... I think you can see some eyebrows. Look, the wound on my left side of the abdomen...... And what's this? If you want to be embarrassed, then you can only lose the benefits you want!" Xiao Tao Chinese
Apparently, Glori wasn't showing off, he was threatening the guards.
The guards, out of admiration for Glori's courage, did not refuse. Waving his hand at Aydane, the guards accepted the terms of payment.
Then the medium-sized guard said, "What do you know? Now, let's say it? Perhaps, we can let you go as if we hadn't seen you." β
"Heh......"
Taking advantage of a sneer to pause, Glori was thinking about how to get the guards to speak with useful clues. It was about a dozen seconds before Glori added.
"Happily, the guy I was talking to about Master Javier knew something was wrong with the Church of Light. To be precise, Lord Javier wanted to use that question to give the city's leaders a headache. I even heard about a planned ......"
"What's the plan?"
"Well, it's going to be an attack!" Glori explained.
"Where is the attack? Lord Castle, all the way to the Lord's Hall. And, where can he go?" the medium-sized guard continued.
"Don't you know where our esteemed lord is going?" asked Glori.
"Where? At most, he will inspect the sunflower salt factory. Although we didn't meet him, we were able to find out ......."
The medium-sized guard didn't finish his sentence. However, Glori had already seen another guy on the move, trying to answer.
Then Glori heard the short guard say, "Chief, why did you forget! We got news from the attendants of the Lord's Hall that the Lord was busy meeting a friend of the Church of Light!
"Brian?"
Listening to the name, Glori seems familiar. There was a vague impression, but Glori couldn't remember who it was. Simply, after searching the list of various professional titles, Glori found a knight named Brian.
Brian, from the Bloody Sword Inquisition of the Church of Light, is a knight who serves as a guard. And, when King Veron defeated the Kingdom of Norton, Brian played a role. At the time, Brian was very young, seventeen years old. Now, Brian is fifty-nine years old, but he has been through a lot of battles.
If it's Brian on the Cavaliers' list, then Glori has met another opponent. Unfortunately, this is just Glori's speculation. Because, Brian is a man who is loyal to the kingdom of Alex. Besides, how could a person who could be selected to enter the Inquisition of the Bloody Sword be shaken in his faith? No, it would never be so!
Stunned, Glori was silent for a moment.
If that person was Brian, then it must have been for the sake of the Church of Light that he approached the lord of the City of Honor. Perhaps, Brian was a move that Lord Javier had prepared for a long time. If everything is taken for granted, then the lord of the city of honor who set the trap is also the one who is in the trap.
So, Glori had to be amused by what he had inferred. It turns out that the people who step into the trap are not only themselves. Lord Javier has done a good job, and he has already started the plan to recover the City of Honor.
Unfortunately, all of this was just a tentative inference by Glori. Unable to pinpoint it, Glori could only wait for the time to come, for the answer to emerge.
Glori can be regarded as having the conditions to prepare in advance.
Well, what else to talk about with the guards in the tavern. Let the guards know the fact that the man named Blue Star has appeared in the City of Honor! Perhaps, push yourself to the forefront to find the true face of Lord Javier in the undercurrent of the City of Honor.
Getting up, Glori put the copper plate down anyway.
Glori said to the guards, "Treats? That's just a joke! What you don't know is that standing in front of you is the Blue Star himself." Please, take a closer look, and inform the Lord of Honor of everything. β
The medium-sized guard couldn't believe Glori's words: "What? a raggedly clad civilian who claims to be the one the adults want to catch day and night. I think you're also a madman. β
"Yes, he's a madman, too! And, through and through! Now, he doesn't want to walk out the door!"
With a concurring word, the short man emboldened himself and came towards Glori. He wasn't tall, and he shook his body. Coupled with a frown, the short man is no longer just a simple fat man. The raised eyebrows that wanted to trample everything in front of him were disgusting to Gloriβa man who did not dare to look up under the powerful, and was looking for solace from the commoners!
Glori, had to snort. It seems that as long as Glori doesn't want to hide, there are people who think that Glori is not a blue star, especially those who always like to look down on civilians. Even, Glori always bumps into someone who resembles the greedy Imperial Tax Collector.
However, Glori was already planning to leave. If the guards don't take what they say seriously, they'll have to do it. Anyway, the two guards in front of him are not good people.
With the power of God in his body, Glori has received an unexpected reward.
With just one punch, Glori knocked down the short man who came as he walked by. With the second punch, Glori sent the medium-sized guard to a round table two meters away.
is different from Glori's plan, and Fiona left "Kozuki" without getting the corresponding "safe and sound". Not only the guards who caught up, but also the people of the tavern, all rushed to the street because of the sound of fighting.
