Chapter 48: The Intruder
Taking off his soiled white gloves, the thin man stood up and said to Enolai:
"Just to be on the safe side, I would like to confirm one thing with you. ”
"What's the matter? The master who can answer will tell you. The old woman's attitude was gentle and sincere.
"I heard there was an underground auction recently?"
"There's such a thing. ”
"The treasure at the end of the auction is a legendary treasure. ”
"Oh, have you heard that too? I almost forgot that you had attended the Far Eastern ritual as well as your teacher, and it was only natural that you would pay attention. ”
Weber didn't pay attention to the old woman's slightly meaningful gaze, and continued to ask:
"Is this secret treasure the one that was rumored to be, do you know who the final winner is?"
"If it's just this level of intelligence, it doesn't matter if you tell you. The secret treasure is indeed the rumored thing, and the fact that the master will come here has nothing to do with this matter. ”
"Please explain. ”
Weber's eyes lit up, he just wanted to verify it, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise.
"That secret treasure has a special nature, whether it is used as a spell body or as a catalyst for that ritual, it is the top-notch, so many magicians have heard the news, and the auction price has been very high. In the end, there are only two people left to compete. ”
"One is the owner of this place, Byron Baruyereta Izeluma, and the other is Atram Gariasta. ”
Hearing the name of the last person, a strange smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Shinji's mouth.
Atram Gary Asta, a magician from the Middle East. The first impression of people who know him is that he is rich, very rich, very rich, and he buys and buys whatever he likes. Compared to him, Luvia's Edfeldt family is not worthy of the title of nouveau riche at all, and Atram is the real nouveau riche, sitting on dozens of oil fields, and he doesn't know how much money he has.
Even Weber, who is already in a high position, commented so.
"Not at all in the same weight class, Izeluma has a long history, but no matter how much he thinks about money, he will not be an opponent of Gary Asta. Normally, the Lord of the Baron family should have lost, but since you are here because of this matter, can it be said that the Lord of the Baron family has won the final victory?"
"That's it, you're the same as you think. Although many of the assets held by magicians are not properly sourced and hidden through various means, it is difficult to find out. But Izeluma's bottom line, you can still guess one or two. Moreover, Gary Asta's reputation is not good, and it is unlikely that Byron Qing's character will have a conflict with Gary Astar over a secret treasure, unless there is a reason to have to take this secret treasure. ”
Perhaps in order to remove his suspicion, Enolai can be regarded as knowing everything and saying everything.
"Regarding the reason why you can't back down, you can only think of Golden Ji and Silver Ji, and as a result, the completion of this generation of Golden Ji is unusually high. If it goes on like this, it's not surprising when it will be connected. To be honest, I thought it would take several more generations to have such results. Now that this is happening again, hehe, there must be something hidden in the middle - you just said you have eyebrows?"
"There's some eyebrows. Webb nodded, "I still need some proof, though." There are three elements of detective case handling, hodunit, hodunit, and hydunit. The first two are of little significance to the magician, except for the last one, which cannot be explained, and the matter is not over. ”
"I see, it seems that the decision to choose you as a detective is right, I really like you more and more, you must consider the invitation of the master. ”
Seeing that Enolai had not forgotten to woo himself until now, Weber couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Is this the time to talk about this?"
"The search for the truth is the search for the truth, the invitation is the invitation, and no matter how this event ends, it will not affect me much. ”
This is the real source of Inolai's confidence, the head of one of the three nobles with a long history, and one of the most influential lords of the Clock Tower, such an existence cannot be defeated by such a small matter.
"Moreover, as long as you are willing to join, the loss of five Izeluma will not frown. ”
The old woman's smile grew stronger, and Weber's bitterness grew:
"You're really looking too highly of me. Anyway, let's get to know about this incident first. The on-site investigation has ended, and the next step is to find last night's golden hime. Levi, you go and ask Miss Aosaki, I need her help. ”
"Yes, Professor. ”
Glancing at Enolai quietly, Shinji turned and walked out the door.
At this moment, two familiar figures rushed in with shouting.
"Professor, professor, no, something is wrong. ”
"We've found an intruder, what should we do?"
It was Flatt who was babbling, and it was Sfen who was screaming excitedly.
Hearing the report of the two, Webber and Enolai looked at each other.
"Intruder?"
"Where and how many?"
"It's in the forest over there. Flatt stretched out his hand and pointed out the window, "The number of people is about um, twenty, no, thirty." ”
The young man's probing skills were as high as his invasiveness, and he said there were many, Webb would never have doubted.
"So much?"
At some point, the sun disappeared.
It's the cloud.
The black clouds that drifted from the west covered the land of Izeluma in the blink of an eye. The unnatural speed and scale of that would soon envelop Izeluma's iconic twin towers.
In the clouds, a low thunderclap sounded, and thick lightning pulled away from the clouds and bombarded the forest, leaving a thrilling trail on the ground and an unpleasant scorching smell in the air.
"Is the purpose to eliminate the land's protection of the Izeloma family, but it has been a rule since ancient times to exercise the weather magic at dusk, and it's only morning, who the hell is-"
If the land is damaged, the flow of mana will naturally become more difficult than usual. In the case of a magician managing the land, it is only natural that defensive magic will be applied to it, and neutralizing it first is also a rule for the attacker.
Webb walked to the window and looked thoughtfully at the clouds in the sky. The voice of the old woman standing beside him was a little deeper.
"I probably know who it is. If the auction fails, do you want to snatch it? I don't hate this way of firing a gun. But such a person chose to attack at this time -- should I say that he was bold and reckless?
Hearing Enolai's exclamation, Webber also guessed the identity of the intruder - Atram Gary Asta.
There are two evaluations about him, a rich nouveau riche, and a bad reputation.
Having money has already been explained, and the bad reputation is related to his domineering style. If I fancy something, I must get it, if I can't buy it, I will fight, if I can't beat it, I will use the money to hire someone to continue to fight, and I will defeat you until you are soft!
This thunder is Atram Gariasta's greeting and ultimatum to Izeluma.
Hand over your stuff or I'm going to beat you up."
PS: Oil King, hey, Oil King. Mita's oil king is a tragedy, other tricks are to pretend to be forced to be slapped in the face in front of the protagonist, this is not enough to be beaten after pretending, and he is still dying before and after pretending, how to continue to see.
