Chapter 90: The Ambush Soldier Who Was Killed in Seconds
These are extraordinary times, and any unfamiliar face could be an undercover agent for the rebels. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough Ima repeatedly insisted that "Miss Mary" was worth believing, Shervey was wary of "her".
He sent two female Lytin magicians to the room where Mel and Shata were resting, saying that they wanted to protect them, but in fact they wanted to spy on them. Sata's mentorship is also sensitive during this period, most of the faculty members in the magic academy have died, why did she survive and still happen to stay by Ima's side?
Shervey didn't want to suspect the people who had been with his son, but if Miss Mary and Shata approached Irma with some purpose, things would be very dangerous. Shervy didn't dare take the risk, so he had to do it.
When the two female Lytin Wizards arrived at the room where they were resting, Shata was chatting with Myer. Sata was also very curious about "Miss Mary", because she appeared so suddenly, like a person who had come out of the ground, without warning. When the two knocked on the door, Shata was not wary and let them in.
After the two explained their intentions, Shata thanked Shelvy for his concern, and had no doubts about the two men. She is such a person, easy to trust others, otherwise she would not have been reduced to Ulric? McYan's plaything.
"How did Miss Mary get here?"
After the two female Lytin magicians sat down on the side, Shata continued to ask.
Unlike the simple-minded Shata, Mair didn't think that Shelvey had sent the two men to protect him. Around the command post, there are five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and a large number of patrols are deployed. A large number of guards were also deployed inside the command post, with two patrolmen and a Leiding mage on patrol duty outside the door.
In other words, the protection here is like an iron bucket, and not even a fly can fly in. Moreover, Ima had already said when she introduced the two to Shelvey, that Shata was the class tutor, and that "Miss Mary" had killed a rebel who looked powerful on her own, and that both of them had the ability to protect themselves. Even if Shervie was really worried about the safety of the two, there was no need to arrange personal bodyguards for them, because it would make people uncomfortable to do so.
Shata had been "chatting" with Maier for a while, but she was basically just talking, and she didn't ask any questions, and Maier just had to listen and nod or shake her head at the right time. But now he had to answer Shata's question, which was difficult to answer with gestures and movements.
Maier is not good at lying, and even less so with gestures and movements. If the man sent by Shelvey wasn't here, he could have avoided it by not answering the question and yawning and pretending to be sleepy. But now he couldn't do that, and if the two watchers found out about his deliberate evasion, Shelvey would be suspicious of him.
You can't run away from questions, you can only answer them. Maier bit her lip and thought for a moment, then gestured to Tube Shata for paper and pen. This would have aroused Shelvey's suspicions, as the mention of pen and paper would make people think of writing, and "Miss Mary" did not look like a person who could write. But doing this well would give Shervey a suspicious direction, so that he would not be cranky and think of "Miss Mary" as an accomplice of the rebels, or someone with ulterior motives.
Shata didn't have pen or paper on hand, so she had to ask for it from the two men sent by Shelvey. The two men exchanged a look, and one of them left the room and reported to Shelvi that "Miss Mary" had asked Shata for pen and paper. When the man reported the incident, Ima was by Shervey's side. He was surprised to learn that Miss Mary wanted pen and paper, but then he realized that Miss Mary was probably trying to convey information by drawing.
In fact, Maier is preparing to do just that. After Shelvey's men got the pen and paper back, Meier drew a carriage on the paper—Meier's drawing was by no means good, but it was not bad, just ordinary stick figures. After drawing the carriage, he drew an arrow in front of the carriage and a gate at the end of the arrow.
"Hmm...... You mean you came here by horse-drawn carriage? ”
Mel nodded affirmatively, indicating that Sata was right. Shata thought this method of communication was quite interesting, and couldn't help but smile, and then continued.
"And what are you here for?"
Mel wanted to tilt his head and think, but he knew that this action might be a bit lethal, so he didn't dare to do so, so he could only think motionless for a few seconds, then changed the paper and continued to draw.
This time he drew a broom, a kitchen knife and a carrot to indicate that he had come to work here. As for why carrots are drawn instead of other vegetables, it is because carrots are easier to draw, and more complex vegetables are not easy to draw as they are. Considering that he had already shown strong combat effectiveness in front of people, he drew another girl, and then drew a shield next to the girl, indicating that he also worked part-time as a bodyguard.
"I see......"
Shata nodded thoughtfully and asked again.
"A pretty girl like you should be famous in the academy...... Do you mean you don't usually go out? ”
Seeing that Shata had come to a conclusion in her favor, Maier nodded at once.
"Then I would like to ask, who is your master? Which dormitory do you live in? ”
Even today, it has only been 10 days since Maier arrived at this college, and he has no idea what is going on in the dormitory. Just when he secretly screamed in his heart, Shata smiled wryly and held her forehead and apologized to Myer.
"I'm sorry, Miss Mary, but you don't know how to write, do you?"
If he can't write, he can't write his master's name and number, so Maier can't answer Sata's question at all. The only person who heard "Miss Mary's" personal information from Xiaoxiao was Ima, and Shata didn't know about it, so she wouldn't be suspicious of "Miss Mary" because of it.
After getting a general idea of "Miss Mary", Sata became a little sleepy and stopped asking questions, and Mel didn't have to lie any more. The two men sent by Shelvey looked at each other, and one of them took two of Mel's paintings in the name of helping "Miss Mary" throw away the scrap paper.
About two minutes later, the two paintings appeared on Shervey's desk. The person who sent the painting truthfully recounted Shata's question, so that Shervey could roughly understand what the two paintings were saying.
"Hmm...... Maid...... A maid who can work and be a bodyguard ......"
Shervy frowned and thought about it, and then the person who sent the painting said again.
"Shata? Elite also asked Miss Mary about the identity of her owner and her address at the Academy, but before Miss Mary could answer, she said that Miss Mary could not write, and then stopped asking. ”
"Can't write?"
When Shelvy heard this, his eyes narrowed into slits, and a fine light flashed in his eyes. Standing behind her father, Ima also grasped the crux of the matter, if "Miss Mary" could not write, then "she" could only express complex information in the form of drawing. If "she" can't be drawn, then the identity of this "Miss Mary" is very questionable.
However, Shervey did not act immediately, because it would be easy to startle the snake by surprise. He was going to wait for the other survivors to arrive and entertain them, and then ask "Miss Mary" this question at the dinner table, and let "her" paint on the spot, if "she" couldn't draw, then Shervey might "do the necessary thing" with "her".
The lethality of "Miss Mary" is there, and if "she" has a bad plot against the Cornate family, it is no exaggeration to say that "she" alone is enough to paralyze an army. Such an existence is too dangerous for the Cornate family, and if there is only one "just in case", the Cornate family will pay a great loss.
About an hour later, the other survivors arrived at the command post under the protection of the Bright Army. Shervey's personal chef had prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, and the ingredients used for the dinner were the finest fresh ingredients, which were not specially prepared by Shervy, but were standard when he set out on his expedition.
Before dinner began, Shervy had Mel and Shata invited out and sat them down with their fellow comrades. The survivors were divided into two tables, with the students and tutors sitting at one table with Shervey and the subordinates at the other. Maier was assigned to the next table, but he had no problem with that, because then he would be able to sit with Xiaoxiao in the open.
Before Shervy could pick up his glass and speak, a large number of people poured down from the table. This is because Maier and Xiaoxiao are in such a good mood when they sit together, and their faces keep blooming with a happy smile that eclipses all the flowers in the world, and then the people opposite him all clutch their hearts and fall.
The unsuspecting guards thought that the command post had been attacked by an unknown attack, and they all came out with great vigour, and the guards and Lytin magicians who had been ambushed by Shervey near the table in advance also killed them.
When the person in front of him suddenly fell, Mel showed a surprised expression, and at this time, the guards and the Ryding magicians just came out, and the mouth of the person who could see Myr's face turned into an "O" shape, and stood still in place. After this, Maier realized that he had accidentally moved his expression, and quickly straightened his face.
The sudden ambush made the scene very awkward, and the people at Shervey's table looked at him with astonishment, as if they wanted to get an explanation from him. Shervy is also an old fritter, he didn't panic at all after encountering this situation, but said casually to the next person's table.
"Miss Mary, I haven't been able to see your smile with my own eyes, but these fallen people have made me feel the beauty of your smile. If my command post is attacked by the rebels, please don't be stingy with your smile, and then I won't have to go out of my way to strengthen the defense of the headquarters. ”
Shervey's downplay of the ambush soldiers as guards deployed here to strengthen the defense of the headquarters sounded reasonable, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately eased a lot. Shervy had the fallen and the temporarily incapacitated people brought down and replaced with a group of guards. As his men got busy, he took up his glass and thanked the people who had been with him on behalf of the Kornate family.
When he said his words of thanks, Shervy had a kind smile on his face and his expression was very calm. But his heart had already set off turbulent waves, and even gave birth to a little fear.
He thought that his subordinates would be enough to keep him safe, but in front of "Miss Mary", these people were killed in seconds after only taking a face with "her". In fact, Shelvey didn't know if Maier was smiling or not, he said those words for the sake of the round. Shelvy had only seen Myr's smile, so he could only see Mel's smile before he fell down, or froze in place.
If she wants to kill me...... If she wants to kill me......
Shervy suddenly did not dare to carry out his plan. If "Miss Mary" can't draw a picture that shows her parenthood and Ira's culture, and then smiles back and kills everyone in the audience, he may put his own life and his son's life into it.
In this way, I don't know if Maier escaped or Shervey, and the dinner ended safely. Shelve sent Miss Mary and "Miss Mary" to a place other than the command post, Mel went there, Xiaoxiao and Alice naturally went there, and the three maids, Yanhe, and the brothers and sisters of the Heyan family also went. The resting place for Maier and the others is also a villa-style dormitory building in the faculty dormitory area, but the conditions are much worse.
Shata wanted to go back to her quarters, but Shelvy was not reassured and sent her to Miss Mary. Ista and Ridin were not in Shelvey's suspicions, but they volunteered to go to Myer's side. Shervey set up three cordons outside the dormitory where Mehr and the others were staying, each about 50 meters apart.
As soon as someone in the cordon in front of them falls, or if there is any unusual behavior, the people behind must immediately sound the alarm, and then the crossbowmen and the Ryding mages who are ambushed by Shervy on the perimeter will appear from multiple directions and kill all the people who come out of the dormitory.
Except for Ima, everyone else was housed in a dormitory building next to the command post. Both dormitories had been cleaned up by the soldiers, and like the dormitories where the command post was located, there was no trace of violence left in the dormitories except for the smashed glass.
Maier and the others arrived at their new residence, and before they could allocate a room, a large number of people arrived. (To be continued.) )
