Chapter 136: Deceit
Verus was stunned by Moon's words, and he couldn't answer for a while.
It was a long time, under the piercing gaze of Bald Moon, that he replied, "I really didn't think about this. And what if those mages pretend to obey and are secretly playing tricks?"
That's messing around. But when mortals make bad decisions, they will subconsciously justify themselves when they are pointed out by others. But it was precisely because of this defense that Moon's eyes softened.
"General Verus, actually...... You didn't come up with this idea, did it?" asked Moon.
Verus lowered his eyelids in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, but this idea was actually my ......"
Moon was aggressive, "Nothing to do with anyone else?"
Verus's face was a little pale, but Zenas spoke up at this time, "General Verus, you should know Moon's temperament. In fact, he also knows you very well, you are a very responsible person who is willing to take responsibility and responsibility, which is why he is worried that you are deliberately saying this in order to take responsibility for your subordinates. ”
Verus clearly had a lot of respect for Zenas, and when Zenas said this, he apologized to Moon rather abruptly. This time, he said openly and honestly, "Actually, it's also because of Master Nelson, and he suggested that I do it, and I think it's pretty good." ”
Moon narrowed his eyes, and Zenas and the others also sensed that something was wrong. Just as Verus was about to ask what was wrong, there was a knock on the door of the reception room.
Charlotte, who had been hiding in the shadow plane to watch the mechanical ant transmission, was pulled by her sleeve, and when he looked through the hazy plane wall, he saw a dark-haired man knocking on the door outside.
The man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin, with an elegant appearance, and he was draped in a white fox shoulder, and his clothes were yellow and black, but he was gorgeous but had a practical sparkle of magic. This man looked more like a nobleman with a noble temperament than a mage who was dedicated to studying.
But Charlotte only glanced at it, and quickly looked away. He looked at Nerham and Elbert, both of whom were equally alert, and only glanced over the man and then stopped looking. Because at a glance, he already faintly felt that this person's strength was extraordinary, and if he snooped too much, it was very likely to arouse the vigilance of the other party.
But even at a glance, the Nelson mage glanced at the corner of the wall with confusion. Fortunately, the door of the parlor was opened from the inside, and Master Nelson led two mage attendants to nod to the doorman, one of whom had a large potion in his hand, and the three of them entered in turn.
Charlotte and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to spy on the situation in the reception room through the mechanical ants.
As soon as General Verus saw Nelson enter, he immediately got up and introduced, "Legionnaire, let me introduce you. This is General Nelson, don't look at his youth, now he is also a master of spellcasting at the level of the Nine Rings, if it weren't for the help of Master Nelson, Dominco City would have been a mess now. ”
Nelson nodded to Zenas on the other side, who stared at Nelson before actually saluting. This surprised Verus, and just as he was about to ask, Zenas had already taken the initiative to greet Nelson.
"Master Nelson, it's been a long time. Zenas smiled, "I was still wondering which master gave General Verus so much help, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”
"Long time no see, Lord Zenas, may your faith still shine as brightly as a diamond. "Master Nelson also gave a courtesy, and the etiquette was impeccable, definitely more formal than Charlotte's aristocratic etiquette.
"Y-You know each other?!" General Verus opened his mouth in surprise.
Judson laughed, "This Nelson mage is a friend who helped Master Zenas escape from prison, but he didn't want to reveal his name when he asked him at that time, only told us that there might be friends in the north who were willing to support us, and then he went away like an unsung hero." To be honest, I secretly complained at that time, this guy must be too handsome. Haha......"
"I see. When General Verus heard that there was such a relationship, he also smiled sincerely, and he saluted Zenas again, "Naturally, I have always supported His Excellency the Legion Commander. ”
"I can guarantee that. Master Nelson also smiled warmly, "In fact, these days, not only have you been helping Your Excellency the General deal with the undead disaster, but you have also been testing the General. I'm sorry. He saluted General Verus and said to Zenas, "But I can assure you, Lord Zenas, this Lord Verus is definitely your loyal friend. ”
"It's my pleasure. ”
Zenas also returned the salute to the two, and there was a happy atmosphere in the reception room.
This only saw Elbert secretly gritting his teeth, and Charlotte was confused. The former is secretly angry when he sees that the enemy has once again gained the capital to make a comeback, while the latter is upset by his own misjudgment.
If Nelson was the one who helped Zenas escape from prison, it only made sense that he would come to Vic County to help General Verus deal with the undead scourge. It can even be said that the suspicion of Master Nelson can almost be ruled out, because if he is a member of the Constellation, it is impossible to save Zenas, otherwise it would not explain why Zenas was assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood, a subordinate organization of the Constellation.
Unless he is insane, he will save the target of the assassination.
- But wait!
But Charlotte still has some sense of incongruity, what about the Dark Brotherhood who always make mistakes in assassinations? As one of the several well-known Assassin organizations in the San Lorenzo Empire, it is reasonable for the Dark Brotherhood to repeatedly misassess the strength of its targets, let alone be so funny that it will shoot the wrong targets with the precious 'Thunder Fury'.
Charlotte was puzzled, and always felt that she didn't understand what was in her hands. While he was hesitating over whether to make a move on Master Nelson, something new took place in the reception room.
Master Nelson motioned for his mage attendants to share the brewed potion with the others, and informed them that the potion was effective in preventing natural disasters and plagues.
However, through the perspective of mechanical ants, Charlotte and the others saw that after receiving the potion, Zenas and the others actually exchanged a look covertly.
They also don't seem to have enough trust in Master Nelson, no! This may have been due to the many betrayals they had suffered, but more often than not, it was Nelson's proposal to order the mage's arrest that they had challenged.
Anyway, Charlotte saw Judson blink, then flicked the potion in her hand to the ground, and her face turned colorful.
"Damn!
He's talking about it!
Because from the perspective of the mechanical ant, it can be clearly seen that he has not tried the slightest potion at all.
