Chapter 250: Turning Light into Darkness
Ante strolled into the Magic City and headed for the Mage Tower, knowing what awaited her, but she had no choice, the oppression and humiliation she had never endured as a king's mother.
Naturally, the people of Nanyang would not let her back easily, unless she agreed to one condition, that is, to assassinate Lin Qian. Ante knew that he had only one way to die after the matter was revealed, but if he didn't go, he would die, and he couldn't even see William's last face. Ante thought that he would be able to do whatever he wanted after coming to the mainland, but he didn't expect to see a familiar figure after yesterday's banquet - Neuer, who was in charge of supervising her assassination.
Ante, who had seen the magic of space, did not dare to disagree, because she knew that as long as Neuer thought about it, William would immediately be in danger. What's more, she learned from Lin Qian and William that he had escaped an assassination a few months ago, which further affirmed the other party's determination.
He believed that his nephew Archill didn't know about it, that he couldn't fight Curtis, he couldn't fight Neuer, and now he had to lose a loved one again. She remembered everything that had happened when she had broken into the main hall, which must have been arranged by those two people with evil intentions.
Time back to ten days ago, the main hall of Nanyang.
"Auntie?" Archer was discussing with Curtis how to get a good return, when Ante suddenly came in, thinking that she must have known about the wedding card sent by Lin Qian, but she didn't know who leaked it.
"The Great Patriarch, I applied to be an envoy to the South Seas and sent to the mainland. Ante solemnly pleaded.
Curtis smiled, everything was expected by him, so he tried to persuade Achill to agree to Ante's request, but there was one demand, Ante had to return.
This is exactly what Archill is concerned about, so although he is curious why Curtis is no longer looking for benefits, he reluctantly agrees because of the relationship between his aunt and nephew. After the meeting, Ante officially set off, and as soon as he arrived on the mainland, he met Neuer, who had teleported over. He threatened the lives of Achill and William to grant Ante a plan to assassinate Lin Qian.
It was that person who became Ante's nightmare, but now that everything is over, she no longer has any worries. Because she knows that death awaits her, and the fate of others is not something that a dying person can care about. When he was in a trance, Ante bumped into a person, and when he looked up, it was a woman beside Lin Qian, who vaguely remembered that she was a dragon.
"You have been arrested for attempting to kill my husband. With a cold face, Ysera led him to the tower and locked him in the room where Meryl was.
"Attempt?" Ante carefully recalled the word, and suddenly her face froze, because she saw Lin Qian, the living Lin Qian.
Lin Qian walked in from outside the door, closed the door, seemed to smile at her, and then found a chair to sit down.
"Don't be surprised, it's just an illusion, and so is this one. Lin Qian stretched out his hand and motioned for the other two to sit down.
Meryl naturally sat down on the bed, and Ante hesitated for a moment, then sat down as well.
"Let me guess what's in your arms," Lin Qian tilted his head in thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "It was Curtis who did it, he planted a magic seed in my body a few months ago and kept me in a wheelchair for a while. This thing must be a weapon to lure that seed into germinating, right?"
Ante was shocked, it turned out that everything was in the other party's knowledge.
Meryl on the side suddenly laughed: "Don't fool people! If your father hadn't told you, how would you know?"
"Ahem!" Lin Qian couldn't hold his face, glared at Meryl, and then muttered leisurely, "Even if he didn't come to me last night, I can guess some." ”
Ante was overwhelmed by the dumb riddle between the two of them, her father? Could it be that the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers is still alive?
"Okay, let's be serious," Lin Qian straightened up, turned to Ante and said, "As you think, everything is under my control. Although I don't care about your life or death, William does, and I will spare you a life. You know, you're supposed to be a dying man, so you can't see William in person during this time, understand?"
Seeing An nodded, Lin Qian continued: "In the same way, so am I, I will also disappear for a while, but fortunately, I have already arranged everything, and my wives will manage the guild. In comparison, I can cover it up with a disappearance, but you have to show up, endure some pain, and ultimately prove it with death. Can you trust me that I'll find a time for you to put you into suspended animation, and then unblock it at the right time?"
"Yes," Ante probably understood what Lin Qian meant, but he was still a little worried, "If you want to hide it from Neuer, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, he has a unique spatial magic that can appear anywhere at any time." ”
"His mental power is too strong to easily sense my presence, so I just came back from outside the city. My magic array can accurately detect the movements of everyone in the city, and as soon as he left, he left the moment he saw you come out of the teleportation circle alone, and you don't expect him to keep his promise to take you back to the South Seas. Lin Qian assured.
An Yi nodded, she already knew the simple truth. If she fled back to Nanyang, the spearhead of the mainland would be directly pointed there, and there was only one way to meet Nanyang, so she was ready to die.
"Well, you'll learn the rest, and you'll be going to suffer the wrath of my ladies next. You just need to shirk not knowing, you really can't bear it, and you can tell the truth again. In two days, you will be tortured to death, and William will be placed under house arrest – in fact, to protect him. Lin Qian explained a few words and disappeared into thin air.
Meryl chuckled and said, "I hope you act better than I did a few months ago, but I've even lied to my old flame." ”
Ante was extremely confused, she had been exposed to too much information this day, and she needed to sort it out, and in addition, it was indeed easy to show her feet in her own state.
Soon, Ysera and several women put Ante in prison, tied to a pillar and interrogated Lin Qian's whereabouts in turn. Although Ante knew that this was acting, the pain on his body was real, and he gradually became angry in his heart, gritting his teeth and not speaking, his eyes glaring fiercely.
"Old witch, say quickly, where is Brother Lin?" Elena didn't know whether she knew it or not, and her attack was extremely heavy, which once made Ante think that Lin Qian deliberately designed Elena to take revenge on her.
"Ahem!" Ysera was a little uncomfortable when she heard this title, she was the most concerned about age after entering the human world, and when she mentioned the word "old", she subconsciously thought of herself.
"If you don't say it, I have a way for you to say it!" Elena was so angry that she took out a bottle of potion from her arms and smiled evilly, "This is the secret medicine of the elves, which can make a man like you quickly, even if you are too old to be a woman, and your skin is dry and yellow, he will still rush to you." My father is not here, but I am kind enough to help you find a husband. ”
When Ante heard that, his eyes widened and he began to struggle. However, Elena did say a little too much, although Ant's age is over thirty, both her temperament and appearance are high-class, not to mention that she is pampered all day long, and her skin is well maintained.
"I'm going to pick someone well," Elena said with a grin, as she looked around and saw that one of the guards was still strong, "and it's you, Elder Ante will like it." ”
The chosen guard probably knew what was going on, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at Ante's graceful face, and his eyes brightened.
"I say!" Ant, seeing the guard approaching, finally couldn't take it anymore and cried out.
"That's right. Elena smiled slyly and turned to the guard again, "It's a pity that you don't have this opportunity to get close to the youngest elder in the South Seas, you all go down, don't spread the word about today's matter." ”
After the guards all went out, Elena regained her cold countenance, snorted coldly and said, "Okay, our previous affairs are written off, but I still hate you very much." ”
William...... How's it going?" Ante was in no mood to argue with her, she was very sure that Lin Qian wanted her to die just to teach Elena a lesson, and now she only wanted to care about the situation of the people closest to her.
"Don't worry, I've sent someone to take care of him, and when he sees you again, you'll probably be a cold corpse. Elena silently taught her a magic she had learned from Sophia when she was fleeing for her life at the center of the ice.
Ante thought for a while, and after feeling that the seal of spiritual power was broken, he silently recited the incantation, and then his whole body became cold, and his eyes were closed.
Within a few days, under the deliberate arrangement, the news of Lin Qian's disappearance spread far and wide, which made the entire Magic Guild panic, but under the governance of a few women led by Xiao Yi, there was no big mess. Elena moved back to the palace, and William became less concerned with state affairs, and Elena handled many things.
Clear-eyed people had already seen something, thinking that Elder Ante who came from Nanyang was also nowhere to be found, and many people guessed that Lin Qian probably fell for William's mother and son's plan, but they didn't know what the fate would be. A few days later, a coffin suddenly appeared next to the teleportation array in Mercenary City, and several magicians teleported it to Azure City. Then the palace began to handle the funeral, but it seemed that the funeral was very simple under Elena's interference, and finally buried in a corner of the imperial tomb.
The mastermind behind all this, Lin Qian, was sitting peacefully in a manor on the mountain outside Kolo City at the moment, talking to an old man opposite him.
"Teacher, have you forgiven me?" Lin Qian asked with some caution.
"How can I forgive me," the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King smiled bitterly, "Old man, I have nothing left now, just the two of you, I don't want to lose it again." ”
