Chapter 230: Plotting
"Here we are, here it is. Elusa looked at the villa in the woods that had appeared in sight, and said to Mirajan behind her.
"It looks like the people from Hades' Gate haven't arrived yet. Mira looked around, and the air reverberated with the sound of birds, in perfect harmony, without the slightest smell of strangeness.
"Well, it looks like the former Speaker should be fine. ”
Elusa responded to Mira as she tethered her mount to a nearby tree and gently stroked her neck along the fur. The docile bighorn elk carried the two of them all the way, and even though it was a monster with far more endurance than the average mount, it was tiring to run so long.
The two walked along the gravel path towards the former speaker's villa, and as they walked, they looked at the surroundings, and there were several well-kept medicine fields around the house, which showed that the former speaker's life after retirement was very comfortable.
After knocking on the door, it opened in a few moments, and a tall, fat, and kind-looking white-bearded old man appeared in the doorway, which was none other than the purpose of Elusa's trip, former Speaker of the Council, Crawford Chim.
The former Speaker was very surprised by the sudden visit, and he recognized the visiting guests, because they were always so impressive with the fairy tails of the current and when he was still in office.
Elusa and the others were invited to sit down in the living room, but the former speaker didn't seem very enthusiastic, but this was understandable, after all, he lived such a secluded life, and he must not be very happy to be suddenly disturbed.
After some pleasantries, Crawford personally prepared refreshments for the two, which was really unimaginable, and a person like him who was once in a high position did not even have a servant by his side, but this kind of behavior also made Elusa and the others feel good.
"So, what is the matter with you two coming to me out of the blue, an old man?" said the former Speaker without politeness, "and, how do you know my address?"
"What a faux pas, and again I'm so sorry for our behavior. Mira looked apologetic, "However, the situation is really urgent, and we have no choice but to use the guild's intelligence channels to investigate your address." ”
"So that we can find out the address of my house, which is supposed to be confidential...... The fairy tail is really impressive. ”
"I'm so sorry. Elusa apologized again after hearing the complaint in the former speaker's words, "However, in this case, we can only take this step, and please bear with me for the trouble caused to you." ”
"Ahh Crawford stroked his beard and smiled, "After all, I'm retired, and I won't hold you accountable, hehe." ”
"Thank you for your understanding. Hearing that the former speaker was so generous, Elusa also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if the other party was not happy, it would be difficult for them to protect them.
"In addition to protecting you, we also want to ask you about Fez's problem. Mira's face turned pale and she began to get down to business, "Can you tell us more about Fez?" ”
"Fez......," the former speaker muttered, as if organizing the language, "I'm sorry, I don't know about Fez." ”
"How could you be, you're the former Speaker!, how could you not know Fez's information!?" Elusa was shocked by the former Speaker's answer, even if he said that he couldn't tell him, it was more believable than this.
"I really don't know the details about Fez, I only know part of the characteristics of Fez, I know that this is a magic pulse bomb that can destroy the magic power of the whole continent, it is not only a final weapon that will end up together, but also a last-ditch fight to turn the tables and win the surprise weapon, so it will not be used until the last moment. Crawford explained unhurriedly to Elusa and the others, "So according to the highest level of secrecy, unless there is a crisis that has to be used, even I will not be able to inquire about Fez's information during my tenure." ”
"Isn't the current situation a crisis?" asked Mira, after that.
"Maybe. The former speaker said helplessly, "However, I am almost retired, so it is even more impossible to inquire into this kind of secret." ”
"How can it be ......" Hearing this, Elusa and the others also understood, and the former speaker knew very little about Fez's information, and it seemed that they couldn't get more information in this line.
“!!!”
Suddenly, a strange movement around the house woke up Elusa and the others, who were meditating.
"They're coming!"
"Looks like the house has been surrounded. ”
Elusa said as she lifted a sword-shaped sigil on her left hand, activating the coordinates that Virgil had left on her to call for support. Although they have the confidence to deal with the enemy, the most important thing is to protect the former speaker from harm, and the first thing is to call for support at this time.
"Mira, here!"
As soon as Elusa finished speaking, several figures smashed through the windows and killed the people in the room. Then, under the stunned gaze of the former speaker, these enemies who rushed in were simply beaten and flew out.
Of course, in the tradition of Fairy Tail, they did much more damage than the attacking Assassins.
"We're here, don't think about attacking the former Speaker!!" said Elusa and the others rushed directly towards the enemy outside the house, seemingly not worried at all that assassins would bypass her and attack the former Speaker.
However, they really didn't need to worry, because the moment they rushed out, the strong support they called for had already arrived.
"Don't worry, Mr. Crawford, I'm here to keep you safe. Virgil looked at the former speaker with a dull expression on his face, and he didn't pay attention to the other party's ghostly look.
Although the former speaker of the House of Representatives is also a magician, but in the final analysis, his identity is a politician in a high position, and with his identity, he naturally stays away from fighting, and now it is good to see this kind of scene and show this posture, which is much stronger than the previous member of the parliament Michelo.
Virgil watched with great interest as Elusa and Mira fought outside, and the enemies outside he confirmed at a glance that they were all miscellaneous fish and there was no need for him to make a move, so naturally he would not disturb his wife's interest.
Virgil watched with great elation, completely unaware that the former Speaker had already turned his mind upside down.
What kind of fuss is this! Why did you suddenly kill such a thing again! This is different from what was planned!
He had originally planned to go to the guild station at the Gate of Hades today, and he was waiting at home for the people from the Gate of Hades to pick him up, but who knew that a few nosy goblins would be killed halfway. But it doesn't matter, his identity is the best cover, no one could have imagined that someone of his identity would actually take refuge in the gate of Hades. He had already put a powerful sleeping pill in the tea that the two girls had just drunk, and as long as the effect of the medicine took effect after a while, the two little girls were not at his mercy, and it would be a good gift to enter the gate of Hades at that time.
But what's going on with this guy popping up out of nowhere! This Virgil knows very well, a magician with extraordinary strength, he can easily settle a weak chicken like him, and he can easily settle it without using his hands.
It seems that he has seen his future, and the anxious former speaker is sweating profusely, thinking about a way to get out.
Just when the former speaker was urgently thinking about countermeasures, Elusa and the others were also finished, after all, they were all miscellaneous fish, and even the magicians were not elite soldiers. This level of enemy is not a problem for the two of them at all, and they have all been defeated before the warm-up is over.
"I didn't expect that the first time we cooperated, it felt pretty good. Mira smiled and lifted the transformation, satisfied with the tacit understanding between the two just now.
"yes, I think it's good, too. It's just that the enemy is not very good, and it will end before the activity starts......" Before Elusa could finish speaking, a sense of weakness suddenly erupted, making Elusa soften and turn her head to see that Mira had also fallen.
Just before Elusa was about to fall, Virgil teleported to Elusa and grabbed her as she was about to fall.
"Ni ......" Elusa felt herself fall into that familiar embrace, and closed her eyes in peace of mind no longer.
"Whew...... Just asleep. A brief examination revealed that Elusa and the others were only asleep, much to Virgil's great relief. Then, he turned his head to look at the former Speaker 'Lord', who was sneakily hiding behind him.
"I ......" The killing intent that seemed to be like substance came from behind, and just the momentum made him feel like a man's back, Crawford turned his head to look at Virgil in a trembling voice, "I...... OK...... Explained ......"
