Chapter 678: Interpretation
If the indifferent gaze swept over the substance, no one felt that they were being looked at by the black-haired and black-eyed woman, and a chill still rose in their hearts for no reason. (Phoenix. Full text without ads)
Lin An's eyes fell on Westan in Titi's hand, and Titi handed Westan to the front as if she was worried about bothering her, the blood in the latter's mouth stained the entire chin and most of the placket, and the silk shirt embroidered with gold and silver thread was also full of blood spots, shortness of breath, and eyes rolled.
Lin An frowned secretly, completely unable to tell that this was actually a formal mage who could release fifth-level spells.
"Lynn, I'm Payne! It's a misunderstanding! Angelia had just been sent to the manor, and I didn't know that Angelia was here beforehand, otherwise I would never have sat idly by and watched her suffer like this, we were to blame! β
As a sign of sincerity, Payne eagerly descended the stairs to the front despite the attendants' distractions.
There was a river of blood flowing from his feet, and more than twenty corpses had fallen from the blood-stained carpet and ruined furniture, but Payne only cared about Westan in Titi's hands, and he couldn't sit idly by and watch the heir of the Westein family happen in front of him.
"Where are the people?" His gaze swept over Payne, and Lin An asked coldly.
Payne immediately looked at the guards beside Westin, those guards had not dared to speak out in the conversation between the two sides, for fear of angering Lin An and harming the master he served, and now as soon as he had the opportunity, he couldn't wait to speak.
ββ¦β¦ It was the enshrined mage of the City Lord's Mansion, he sent this wooden box to the back door, and left immediately without entering the manor! β
The squire who spoke out lost his right arm. Gritting their teeth with hatred, they had vaguely understood from the conversation between Payne and Lin An that they were blocked by others.
Hearing this, Salin glanced at Lin An, his figure floated, and he flew out of the collapsed wall. A huge black beast figure flashed in the corner. It appears to be in the shape of a small child.
Payne gasped: it wasn't until the shadow lynx disappeared that a faint depression in his heart became shallow, and a chill of hindsight came to his heart: the demonic beast hidden in the shadows never moved, and his life was actually placed under the other party's thoughts.
From this, he also completely realized that seeing each other after a gap of three years, although he was also promoted to the official mage, there was a gap between him and Lin An. But the disparity is getting more and more wide.
Judging from the other party's previous situation, all of them combined, even if they had the scrolls and other equipment given by their elders, they could not resist in the face of Lin An's powerful spiritual power, and although their subordinates were not injured a lot, they were not injured so far. I'm afraid it's already the result of Lin An's mercy.
The gap is too big. Even resistance can't be resisted, let alone jealousy.
Payne was slightly bitter in his heart, but he had always been the most knowledgeable about current affairs, and with a friendly smile on his face, he said with a slight bitterness:
"Lin, I didn't expect to meet again in this situation. Can we put Westein down and let us heal first? If something happens to Weinstein, I'm afraid it's in the mind of the person who took the blameβ"
Said here. Payne couldn't help but be angry again, revealing a hint of gloom.
He had vaguely heard the news that the City Lord's Mansion had arrested people in the process of searching for the stone carving, and when he saw Angelia and Lin An again, he couldn't get in touch anywhere, so he gritted his teeth with resentment, and sprinkled a sense of anger on the head of the City Lord of Dolan:
"βMany, Lan, City, Lord! I will never let them go! β
"No, he's dead." Lin An said coldly.
Payne's face changed slightly, and then he immediately covered up this affection.
"That's right, it's really cheap!"
He instantly put himself into the camp with the same enemy, and looked at Westin in Titi's hand with some anxious eyes, "Lin, I swear that Westin doesn't know about the City Lord's Mansion, I've been with him all this time......"
The butterfly-like eyelashes narrowed slightly, and the cold and intimidating gaze was retracted, Payne didn't see any indication from Lin An, and Titi raised his hand and threw Westan over.
Payne had prepared a little staff, and Westin's mid-air toss suddenly slowed down.
The guards swarmed up with all hands and feet, and the dense human wall immediately blocked Weistan behind, and the two groups of guards with distinctly different clothing insignia stared at Lin An and Titi vigilantly and sensitively.
After checking that Weststein only failed to cast the scroll at a higher level, his mental power was hit hard by the backlash, and his life was not in danger, Payne's hanging heart was a little relieved, and he endured the pain and tore two high-level scrolls in a row, and poured another bottle of potion, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Westin's injury was stable.
The fourth-level spiritual soothing touch consumed a lot of spiritual power, and after two scrolls, Payne's face also turned pale.
As soon as he put down Westin's side and looked up, he saw that the guards were tense and faintly surrounded Lin An and the two, and Payne's unbearable heart hung to his throat again:
This eldest lady who didn't even buy the mage tower during her apprenticeship - it is said that she was chased and killed by the demon master Qianli on the front line of the ice field, and still returned to the back camp intact, if Payne only thought it was an exaggeration of rumors when he learned about this rumor before, then he was now convinced of it, and he didn't want to be made a sharp turn by this group of subordinates who didn't know whether they were alive or dead!
"Fool, get out of the way! What do you want to do, don't put your weapons away yet! β
Payne kicked away a few guards in front of him, separated the crowd and walked out, and smiled at Lin An, "Westin's injury has stabilized for the time being, thank you for your mercy." β
"If it turns out later that he has something to do with Angelia's victimization, at most let him live for half a day." Lin An said coldly, his gaze swept over the mage who had been locking on to her with his spiritual power.
Their hiding in the attendants is inconspicuous, and the feeling of mental power locking is also very weak, obviously they have special skills, and it is likely that they are the last line of defense placed by the elders of Payne and Westin, and they have not made a move in the chaotic slaughter before.
Although Payne kicked away those guards, he didn't hint that the three mages would stop, maybe it was not Payne's person in the first place, but Lin An no longer took this level of threat in his eyes, and the three mages used their mental power to lock on to people far beyond them without knowing how to live or die, and wanted to fight the calculation of ending up together, then Westan was their end.
A cold sweat broke out slightly on the back of Payne's head.
He originally wanted to try to see if he could transfer Westan away from this inquiry, but he didn't dare to say anything more, although there were only two people on Lin An's side, it gave him a sense of depression as if he was standing in front of his teacher.
In the face of this pressure, Payne quickly thought about how to deal with Lin An in his heart, he knew more or less about Westin's search for stone carvings, and it was not unrelated to Weststein to say that Angelia's matter was not unrelated, and Lin An might not be angry.
After thinking about it for a while, Payne finally made up his mind.
"Angelia was sent, although Westin was deliberately blamed, but the inside story has something to do with Westin."
He immediately told Westin that he was reluctant to go back to get engaged in order to find an excuse to stay, and asked the city lord's mansion to help find the stone carving, and called the guards around Westin to come and supplement it.
Seeing that Payne was so cautious and cautious about Lin An, Westin's guards had realized that the other party had a big background, and might even have a background that even the Weststein family could not make her scruple about, so they could only endure the hatred and fear of her brother being killed and her master being seriously injured, supplementing what Payne said, and connecting the cause and effect of the whole thing.
ββ¦β¦ I saw Angelia just a few breaths before you arrived. From beginning to end, Westan had no idea what Lord Doran was doing, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to recognize Angelia even if we were involved in a little, and the rest would not have happened. β
What Payne said is the truth, just avoid the important and trivialize,
"And, since the enshrined mage left the city and instead delivered Angelia to us, I suspect that many of the Lan City Lords don't know what he's doing in private - as for whether the mage covets something from Angelia, or is targeting you, we'll have to wait until he gets back to find out."
Lin An's face was still as condensed as an ice sculpture.
What Payne said, she had already speculated, Payne's here is the biggest proof that they were blamed, after all, Payne has sheltered Angelia for more than two years, and it is impossible not to recognize her, so what Payne said can be listened to to a little.
It was also because she saw Payne that she didn't tell to completely let go of her hands and feet and kill them all.
But even with Payne, it cannot be ruled out that he was instructed to set up a game.
When Lin An saw Angelia's situation, the murderous intent in his heart reached the peak, and he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, and after crushing them with absolute strength, Payne and others would pour out the facts in order to survive, and even without more means to force a confession.
If there is really a conspiracy against her behind this matter, then Lin An doesn't want to waste time by forcing a confession and be escaped by the people behind the scenes like that mage, and the murderous intent raging in her heart also urgently needs a target to vent - no matter who it is!
So far, Lin An has not noticed any flaws, and has basically ruled out Payne's suspicion in his heart.
Although Westin was the initiator of a certain Cheng dΓΉ, but the heavy damage he suffered now was enough to teach him a profound lesson, although Lin Anxin's killing machine was prosperous, it was still within the control range, but the more powerful the killing machine, the calmer he was.
Seeing that Lin An's black eyes were still flashing with cold water, but the cold aura on his body was obviously eased, Payne breathed a sigh of relief, swept around, and the servant next to him got a signal, and hurriedly transferred Westan out, carried the corpse on the ground away, and carefully cleaned up the hall, not daring to approach the half of the hall occupied by Lin An and Titi.
"This parlor can't be cleaned up for a while, Lynn and you...... Companions, how about moving next door together - Angelia has just been saved, and she needs a quiet environment to rest. β
Penhan knew that Lin An was going to wait here for Saleen to come back, so he invited him loudly.
After the misunderstanding with Lin An was cleared up, he also wanted to wait for a result:
Lin An's strength identity, when the biggest backers are all going to the northern front, obviously can't be recovered, but it is impossible for him to treat this incident as if it never happened!
