Chapter 8 Tell the truth, I'm coming to the housekeeper
The voice is flat, but there is inexplicably the majesty of the superior.
"Is that true or false?" muttered Ian, who was also infected with Manda's disease.
"Hmph. Sitting on the throne, the immortal page light armrest, and the three of Ian were pulled in front of the throne by an inexplicable force and stood at his feet.
Here, is the top floor of the Black Tower. But there was nothing on the spotless floor except the empty hall. There was only one throne, and a scepter resting beside the throne.
Ian looked up at the immortal page, and there was not much difference from ordinary old men, that is, he was a little more energetic and his eyes were sharper.
The seat is a little higher.
This is probably the CEO of the former company.
Kars fell to the ground, and Nemesis fell to his knees, holding his left shoulder and bowing his head.
"I've seen the Chief of the Black Tower, Mr. Immortal Page. Ian bent over first, still wondering if he should kneel for him.
"You should know why I came to you. Immortal Page beckoned, and a chair appeared out of thin air, shoved under Ian's ass.
In the next second, all kinds of objects were summoned by him, such as golden classical table lamps, four-corner tables and chairs, and four cups of brewed black tea.
"Sir, I don't know. Ian sat down honestly, trembling.
To be honest, it's naturally a little embarrassing
The most embarrassing thing was that the immortal page showed an expression of sudden realization.
"It seems that your parents should have made it clear. The old magician leaned back in his chair and stroked his gray beard: "I don't know their life and death, this is the truth, you don't have to doubt it." ”
I don't doubt it, I really don't understand, and, what are you talking about?
"Ian III and I are old friends, but I am not with him, and when he was born, I was four hundred years old. The Immortal Page says: "The Ian family has been in the House of Lords since the second generation, and by the third generation, they have been in charge of the Black Tower. To tell you the truth, he's a good guy, the Black Tower is unworldly, he's not greedy for worldly power, and your father weighed it well. I repeat these words here, and I am also repeating the agreement I made with your father that what the Ian family wants to do, Blacktower will still support it. ”
Ian chuckled in his heart, thinking that something was wrong, probably somewhere misunderstood. I don't understand what I said, and it's not because he came here, this high-powered Lord of the Black Tower said these words coldly, I'm afraid he won't be able to take it.
The point is, Ma Dan, is what he said true or false, or does he want to set his own words?
"That...... Immortal, what are you talking about?"
"Huh?" Immortal picked up the black tea and glanced at Ian, "Okay, I don't talk much about going out, and I don't tell many lies." However, I agree with this matter, and some people regard it as a bright road, which is true. Probably, the bad thing is the one who makes the rules. By the way, then again, is that thing you said in the House of Lords true?"
"It's true...... But ......"
"Really, really. Immortal looked indifferent on the page, and waved his hand: "Go back, I'll see you, it's late today." You have your business, I have my business. ”
"Oh, no...... Well, you'll wait. Ian stood up, and both Kars and Nemesis looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm looking for the Black Tower, uh...... It's not for this, anyway, I don't know what you're talking about. ”
Now it's the turn of the immortal page.
As the lord of the Black Tower, his mana is boundless, and although he is not greedy for the power of the world, his strength is also part of his power. The people of the north all respect him and obey his words, and there are few things that surprise him.
Instead of answering, he put down his glass and bent over to stare at Ian.
"Uh, this, to be honest......" Ian swallowed, though he felt that the three words to be honest were a bit problematic in this country: "I'm here to find my housekeeper." ”
Butler, aren't you here to re-trap me?
"Why would your butler ask me?"
No, I didn't ask you, you made me stay and let me come up?" Ian thought to himself, sure enough, there was a misunderstanding.
"Alright, don't lie. With a move of the right hand of the immortal page, the night wind at the top of the tower suddenly disappeared, the birdsong in the moonlight suddenly stopped, and the top floor of the black tower seemed to be shrouded in a cover, and everything in the outside world was shielded.
"No one can hear our conversations anymore. Immortal Page added: "So don't lie anymore, tell me again what you are here for." ”
This misunderstanding was obvious, and Ian could imagine that even if he was telling the truth, the other party might not necessarily believe it. But how to convince the other party in the end is always a difficult problem. Even if it's just the two of them, if the conversation is too important, they will inevitably be betrayed by lies.
But no matter what, Ian still won't lie.
"I came here because I found that the housekeeper at home was missing, and the mansion was not managed. I'm here to find a housekeeper, not to find ...... You. ”
The two were silent for a moment before leaning back into their chairs.
"So your father didn't tell you anything?" he thought it was more important.
"I didn't hear anything from my father, Lord Immortal, and you forgot my past, I lost my memory. ”
Immortal Page lowered his head and turned the plain porcelain cup, the tea leaves in it vibrated slightly, and in the place where the two of them couldn't see, the snow-capped mountains in the distance seemed to feel his majesty.
"What's your butler's name?"
"I don't know, I have a picture here......" Ian pulled out a photo of his home.
But when I came to find someone, I didn't even know the name, and it was too unreliable. Immortal just glanced at the page, and sent him downstairs to find one of the pages of the Black Tower. As for what Ian wanted to ask him specifically about later, the Lord of the Black Tower kept silent.
The Black Tower has ten pages, and the seventh page is named Wandian, who is in charge of all the information and personnel of the Black Tower, and is estimated to be the chief human resources officer of the Black Tower. Because Ian came down from above, the one who had seen the immortal page, he was not embarrassed here.
"I'll find it for you. "Wandian Seven Page is a mild-mannered middle-aged woman, unremarkable. But it didn't take long for her to find the housekeeper information Ian wanted from thousands of Black Tower mages.
Isha Sher, the fifth-order codex administrator of the Black Tower, the tenth rank is ten pages, so it seems that Isha's rank is not low, but I don't know why, just an ordinary codex administrator. You must know that the most popular profession of the Black Tower is nothing more than a resource expedition team and an enforcer, the former is dominated by the Nine Pages of the Soul and requires resources to collect the Black Tower, and the latter is an armed force led by the Second Page of Light, delving into the forbidden ancient magic.
And the Codex administrator, to put it bluntly, is a nanny who looks at the Codex.
"No, you said Isha was your butler, but she had a track record of serving in the Black Tower and the city of Kowi without interruption, so we re...... her Well...... I came after that incident. Wandian's eyes flashed with wisdom on the seventh page, and she said to Ian, "Young Master Ian, we have to check this person." ”
"It's okay to check it out, but can I see her first, I forgot something, I might have to ask her. Ian begged.
Seven pages subconsciously glanced at the badge suspended on his shoulder, and with a wave of his right hand, all the materials were collected into the void, and the room was suddenly extremely tidy, and no other people's information could be seen.
"Mr. Ian, in the Black Tower, Ten Pages has the right to forbid others from lying, and it's different here than outside. ”
"I'm not lying, I really forgot about it. ”
Seven pages straightened up and thought for a long time before nodding in agreement, but she had to accompany as well.
The Blacktower's code was not all in the headquarters, and an unparalleled underground facility was built a few kilometers north of the Blacktower, and four people were transferred there with a snap of their fingers on seven pages.
Here, there are 770,000 Blacktower Codex, which records countless spell techniques and knowledge, but what Ian can see is only the tip of the iceberg.
Without any right to flip through the pages, the seven pages led people directly to Isa's management area, it was already late at night, but many busy figures could still be seen on the candle-lit rock wall.
"Isa. The voice of the seven pages echoed through the quiet archive.
The girl known as Isha shuddered visibly, and the candle flame beside her slowly floated between the two of them, illuminating the area. After arranging her robes a little, she turned around on the bookshelf, and Ian recognized the face in the photo, the round glasses were still the same, but they looked haggard and bent a lot.
"Seven-page sir. Isha bowed.
"Is that your butler?"
Ian stared at Isa's face for a moment.
"Yes, as in the photos. ”
Isa's body trembled noticeably more.
"Isa, explain, your rank is not low, at this age, it can be said that the talent is very high. Seven pages slowed down, and then said: "Of course, I won't blame you for lying into the Black Tower, but you also know that if the lie is exposed, you need to give an explanation." ”
Isha pushed her glasses, looked up at Seven Pages and Ian, lifted her hood, and began chanting incantations in the dimly lit archive.
For a mage of their rank, casting low-level spells requires little to no chanting. Seven pages should have felt something, crossed their arms, and looked coldly.
After a while, the earth did not shake, but beside Isa, there was another Isa.
The other Isha took off her glasses, stopped her waist, put down her tied hair, and with a wave of her spell, she immediately changed her image.
"Seventh-Order Spell: Gemini. Isha herself said, "I can construct another me, the same identity, I will work as a housekeeper in the Ian family during the day, and I will work the night shift in Cowi City at night." I didn't hide the night shift, he was real, and this is the reason why I came to the Black Tower to apply for the Codex Administration. Lord Seven-Page, I don't think any matter which rule of the Black Tower is followed, the punishment for me should not be severe. ”
"Okay, Miss Isa, cast a spell across the ranks, and the Immortal Lord will know about it. Seven pages stared at her, his body stiffening, "If you still want to stay in the Black Tower, you need to be in a higher position, otherwise, the Immortal Lord will blame me for mismanagement." ”
"No, Lord Seven, I'm here to hide my identity in the Black Tower. Isha took the spell, put on her hood, and said to Ian, "Young master, is there still a shortage of people in your family?"
