Chapter 828: Conspiracy
Merlin really doesn't care much about Ieno's threat, and her biggest advantage at the moment is that Ieno doesn't know her strength, and whether she sends someone to assassinate her or uses other means, she is likely to make a mistake. And such a mistake is Merlin's chance to separate and eat away at his men. Of course, if he didn't have the intention of killing people, it would be the best outcome. But it seems that as long as she gives him a chance, Ienno will not let it go.
Although she has a strong confidence in her own strength, Mei Lin is only cautious, in addition to keeping Augustus on the alert, she also arranged a rather hidden alchemy array...... This is a warning circle, although it cannot prevent others from prying eyes and sneaking in, but if someone peeps or infiltrates by any means, it will remind the controller of the circle, so that they can detect extremely small and unusually converging energy fluctuations - which cannot be sensed at the current level under normal circumstances. In addition to this, she also commanded the goblins to perform illusions so that snoopers could not get the real information.
The night was getting darker, it was quiet, the moonlight was soft and quiet, Merlin leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and seemed to fall asleep in the process of admiring the moon...... Suddenly, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she felt a tiny fluctuation of energy.
The ripples almost blended with the breeze in the darkness, and if it hadn't been for the array set up in advance, Merlin wouldn't have noticed it.
The energy fluctuation was slow and almost subsided, but it hung in mid-air, shining like a mirror on Merlin, observing her every move.
Merlin, on the other hand, occasionally twisted her body, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
This 'harmonious' scene lasted until dawn, and nothing happened.
......
Euro City, Ivy Premium Inn.
After disposing of most of the goods in this bustling city and replenishing a lot of ironware, Corbett seemed very laid-back.
After breakfast, he sat in the corner of the hotel lobby, drinking spirits, idly looking at the guests who came and went, and whispering to another drunkard, judging the other's identity, status, hobbies, and character.
"Father, why are you drinking early in the morning?" Lev, who was wearing a black fur coat, was about to go to the market area, the blacksmith area and other places with Yelena, but unexpectedly found that his father had become drunk early in the morning, so he asked a little angrily.
Colbert burped and laughed with a drunken smile: "Son, I'm leaving Euro City tomorrow, let me have a good day, and the more I drink, the more energetic I get." "The next stop is the end of this caravan, the city of Ogga.
"Father, you've been drinking for two days!" said Lev, frowning, "then you promised not to drink a drop of wine on the journey from Euro City to your home!"
Corbett laughed and said, "Son, don't think that I'm drunk and will say yes, you still have to drink breakfast, lunch, and dinner." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up abruptly and said with a little stagger, "Miss Merlin, you are back, I thought you would stay with Lord Baron Bausir." ”
His tone was ambiguous, not at all like an old man.
At this time, Merlin was walking down the stairs with Rosa, with a bright smile on her face, but after hearing Cobbert's words, her face suddenly became gloomy, "Mr. Cobbert, you drank too much!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Merlin, but my father did drink too much. ”
Lev hurriedly confessed, he hated to pour a barrel of wine directly into Coubert's mouth now, so that he would be completely drunk and save himself from nonsense.
"Hmm. ”
Mei Lin still had a good impression of this big boy, and nodded slightly when she heard this: "Mr. Lev, let's help your father go back to the room to rest." ”
"Yes, Miss Merlin. Seeing that Merlin didn't really blame, Lev secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly helped his father away. Don't look at Mei Lin's usual good temper, but after all, she is a nobleman, and if she angers her, she will also get angry.
......
In Baron Bausir's castle, Baron Bausil angrily asked Ienor: "Why did you assassinate Merlin at my winter hunt? Do you know that it will affect me?"
Ienore said disapprehantly: "This is just a temptation. It can't be successful. ”
"Stupid! if it succeeds, but since she knows that it will not succeed, doesn't that give her a chance to take precautions?" Baron Bausil sneered.
Ienor said in a deep voice: "Merlin is not only a second-level wizard herself, but also the daughter of the Earl of Brent, it is important to be able to reconcile with her, and the assassination is just a warning to her about our determination to deal with this matter." ”
But now it seems clear that she is more serious about her decision. Baron Bausier raised the corners of his mouth mockingly.
After a few minutes of silence, Ienno lifted his gold-rimmed glasses: "What do young people think...... Very idealistic. In short, things are getting a little troublesome, and in order to put an end to the hidden dangers and prevent her joining from having an unpredictable picture of things, we need to ......" He clenched his right hand fiercely and made a motion to break his neck.
"Are you crazy? This matter can easily affect me, and if you can walk away if it is tracked down, what shall I do?" Baron Bausir looked at Ienno in disbelief with angry eyes, as if he were looking at a complete madman. His tone was very intense, full of consternation and anger.
Ienor seemed to feel that his clothes were a little tight, and he tugged at his neckline, and said coldly: "Didn't we plan to kill Merlin in the first place?" But in reality, we didn't get the results we expected, but let Merlin notice. Since things have come to this point, it is better to use a quick knife to cut through the mess, which is the simplest and most effective!"
Baron Bausir's fierce reaction died down as if it had never been there. He sighed and said with a little worry: "Since you have decided, just do as you say, but I always feel a little weird, the change is too sudden, too strange." ”
"Don't worry, Bausir, everything is under control, this is not the county of Brent. ”
Ienor touched his mouth, the anger and annoyance caused by the surprise were swept away, and he became calm again, "And Merlin must think that this is Euro City, and it is an absolutely safe environment, so it will be much easier for us to kill him." ”
Baron Bausir's expression changed a few times, and he said calmly: "After killing her, destroy the body immediately, and then let Philby and Tuyash take the transformation potion to transform into her and her maid and follow the caravan away, and then disappear halfway." Ienore, the men you sent to assassinate Merlin this time must be strong enough not to be careless, don't make a big joke like Tuyash did last time, and in the end you have to spend ten times as much energy to deal with the follow-up troubles. ”
