Chapter 221: Gülen's Warning
In a lavish mansion in the North District of Huangyao, Cleveland glanced at the people kneeling in front of him, his eyes overflowing with anger.
"Who the hell is it?!!
A man dressed as an attendant bowed his head and walked up to him, his tone revealing a bit of trepidation: "Master Carlyle, we have sent someone to monitor the four assassin unions in the four regions of Huangyao, and each city gate has done enough work, that thief must still be in the city, as long as we check all the inns, we will definitely find the flower of Shelley." ”
"I don't want to hear that! Do you know how much that one is worth? I can't make up enough of that fraction by selling all your shit!" Cleveland roared with a shudder, the orange curly-haired woman with a funny smile on her face still haunts him.
Suddenly, a small attendant ran in from outside the door and bowed his head and said, "Young Master, Lord Marquis Carlyle is here."
"What, father is here," Cleveland quickly withdrew the anger in his eyes and looked towards the door.
After a while, a middle-aged man who was calm and calm and steady walked in, looking at Cleveland's eyes, not angry but arrogant. He was none other than Marquis Carlyle, one of the eight marquis families in the first-class power of Huangyao City.
"Father—" Cleveland bowed his head, a look of shame.
Marquis Carlyle took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Cleveland, you should know how to look at the big picture, and don't mess up with this little thing"
"What my father taught me is that Cleveland didn't dare to refute, although this Shelley Flower was good, it was only wild, unlike the one cultivated in the Holy See Holy City, which only contained gentle and pure light attribute energy.
After many studies, he discovered that the light attribute energy inside had already become chaotic due to the interference of the elements in the outside world. If you take it directly, it is likely to explode and die, and as the eldest son of the Carlyle family, Cleveland naturally will not take this risk.
In order to make the best use of it, he put this Shelley flower into the obsidian chamber of commerce under his name for auction, in order to avoid someone from hijacking it halfway, the secrecy was extremely good, but it was finally leaked out.
Duke Halle, who got this news out of nowhere, hired the Assassins' Guild to steal, and without evidence, they couldn't do anything with each other.
"Father, are we going to leave it at that?"
When the Marquis of Carlyle had heard this, he turned his back and looked at the light that came in from the doorway.
"What doesn't belong to us doesn't belong to us after all, don't forget that we got this thing from someone else, there is no need to spend manpower and material resources to do those useless things now, don't forget, she is the one of the twelve assassins, if it is so easy for us to find it, then the Halle family will still hire them?"
Cleveland restrained the last trace of resentment in his eyes and bowed.
“... I understand, and I'm going to order everyone to be withdrawn."
"No, I've got them all back to take care of the rest, now you should think about how to salvage our Obsidian Chamber of Commerce, and... Your longing for the priestess, hum"
At the end of the sentence, Marquis Carlyle's tone sank, and he didn't care about Cleveland, which was fixed in place, and walked away.
“......”
"Someone..."There was a moment of silence, and Cleveland spoke slowly, with a hint of hideousness in his eyes.
......
When the time came to noon, Ayton took out the certificate given by Mentor Ruolin, and entered the Royal Academy of Magic with the surprised eyes of the guards at the door.
Walking on the road of the magic academy, two young men and women with black hair and black eyes looked out of place with the outside world. Not only because they are diametrically opposed in clothes, but also in appearance.
In the Bright Blue Kingdom, many high-ranking officials and nobles have a hair color or pupil color based on blue tones, especially the Bright Blue royal family, sky blue hair, and azure eyes have almost become a symbol.
Of course, there are many shades of red, linen, maroon, brown, gold, etc., but pure black is particularly rare.
So far, he has only known Angel and Hitomi, two purebred black-haired black pupils, and as for only one of the two, since he left the Forest of Despair, he has encountered no more than a hundred people combined, and there are quite a few in the Southern District, including Vanessa, the priestess of the Holy See.
Even so, there were still many people on the road who looked at the two of them, and Ayton couldn't help but regret that he had disguised himself in the first place, and he originally wanted to keep a low profile.
"Brother, someone is watching me..."Ariel suddenly pulled down the corner of his clothes
"Aren't people watching us all the time?" Ayton, who was preoccupied, replied casually.
"No, you see, it's the nobleman who pestered us that day"
Ayton followed her gaze and found that it was Glenn and his party who followed him out of the academy that day, the top person of the Wind Academy, and the key is that he is still the eldest son of the Earl Babbitt family, they killed a gentleman named Jeff Babbitt last night, did the other party find out something? Or is it just to avenge the shame of a few days ago?
No, if it's just for that insignificant face, it won't form a deeper hatred... Forget it, the thinking of other nobles is not something that Ayton can understand.
There were seven or eight people standing behind Gülen, all staring in his direction with malicious expressions. Now there are only two paths in front of Ayton, one is to take a detour and leave, and the other is to walk forward head-on...
"Brother, look, it's that guy" Ariel suddenly looked behind them, and Feng Li, the civilian mage who had led them the way, was standing behind them, his face was blue and swollen, looking at the playful eyes of the group of people around him, Ayton instantly understood what was going on.
"Let's go, Ariel, and don't talk later. Ayton walked up with Ariel with a calm face, he didn't want to cause trouble, but if he blindly avoided it, the other party would obviously get more inches...
"You are the freshman magic apprentice of this class, why don't you even wear a magic robe, it's really an insult to the respected magician profession" Before Gülen could speak, the younger brother behind him stood up and shouted.
"Do you want to die?" Ayton glanced at him coldly, and the killing intent suddenly made him shudder.
Gülen spoke at this point, in an unfamiliar tone as if the two had met for the first time.
"You killed all the people in the Southern District, right?"
"What black fingers, I haven't heard of it" Ayton shook his head flatly, in Huangyao City, although there are fights and bloodshed every day, but wanton killing people still violates the law, he naturally will not be stupid to admit it directly.
Glenn's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said, "Very good, dare not do it, then let me ask you, what is your relationship with the Saifu family? Why did Claire personally come forward to protect you that day?"
"It's just an ordinary friend, it's the first time I've come to Huangyao, thanks to his care, we don't want to cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Ayton had a hint of warning in his tone.
There was a hint of amusement in Gülen's eyes, and he didn't care about the warning in the other party's eyes, "So, you're just an ordinary adventurer from the Land of Thorns?"
“... So what, I advise you, don't underestimate outsiders. ”
"Haha..."Gülen sneered twice and said: "Very good, outsider, don't think that you really hugged your thighs, in Huangyao City, the water is deeper than you imagined, I also advise you, be a man, it is better to keep a low profile." ”
“......”
Haven't I kept a low profile! Didn't you stupid forks come to you?!
Ayton secretly cursed in his heart, wondering why this thing was such an idiot. Ariel couldn't help but move her hand closer to the hilt of the sword behind her waist.
In fact, his so-called low-key and the low-key standard in the eyes of others are completely two standards. Ayton, an outsider with no background, first dismisses Glenn's invitation, and then publicly rejects Grover's olive branch on Red Light Street East End.
The most important thing is to dare to bid in front of a powerful group of powerful people and the eldest son of the dignified Halle family at the obsidian auction, which seriously touched his bottom line, so that the duke's son secretly made the Babbitt family keep making trouble for him, and he hid behind the scenes.
In Gülen's eyes, these have seriously touched the bottom line of aristocratic dignity...
Fighting is not allowed in the North District of Bright Blue, and the Bright Blue Magic Academy is not allowed to have any battles between magicians, and they don't dare to do anything to the two of them while standing, so they sneered and left after a warning to no avail. Feng Li, who was at the back of the crowd, glanced up at the two of them, and soon followed behind with a cower...
Ayton walked down the street with a gloomy look in his eyes, and Ariel couldn't help but rub her fists and said in a playful voice, "Brother, aren't we going to find some field?"
"Just the two of us, are you going to smash one of their academy yards?"
"It's really not okay to take Angel with you, or call Lan Coco, that waste actually dares to talk to us like this, brother, if you didn't ask me to stop talking, I would have wanted to go up and beat him" Ariel tilted her head to the side angrily.
Ayton looked at her a little helplessly: "You must remember, in the face of not having enough strength, keep a low profile, do you remember the fifth-order peak guard he hid in the shadows?
"This place is so dangerous, why are you here?" muttered Ariel, dissatisfied. As the best genius of the younger generation of the Dark Elves, she obviously couldn't stand that kind of waste anger.
Ayton was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to get into so much trouble, I started to think that this is a big city, and these problems won't occur..."
"I don't have to say I'm sorry," Ariel turned her head and looked at him with disgust.
A smile tugged at the corner of Ayton's mouth, "Okay, but if they dare to provoke them again, as long as the time is right, we will teach them some deep lessons... It's just a pity..."
He didn't say what happened to Feng Li, if Gülen was targeting him alone, it would be fine, but for someone else who had nothing to do with him, he couldn't do anything...
