Chapter 680: Secretly
Based on the injuries and horrors suffered by Payne's entourage this time, he promised to let the middle-aged mage have a good life for ten years and eight years, of course, it was not to let him eat and drink spicy food, but to make him suffer at least the last ten years and eight years, and he could not survive or die. οΌοΌ
Payne said it lightly, but behind his words was a deep cruelty.
Their disaster, in the final analysis, she is the one who does it herself, Lin An smiled faintly, just as he couldn't hear the resentment under Payne's words, but for the middle-aged mage's disposition, it was not Payne's turn to take over, otherwise wouldn't it be a tacit acquiescence that he was at fault?
Lin An's breath has not completely disappeared, and he will not bow his head in front of the real teacher, let alone Payne and the two mage tower families, in the end, Westan is not completely without responsibility.
"Don't bother, the reason why I haven't dealt with that mage yet, is because I plan to leave Angelia angry."
"If Master Payne can promise to do what you said before, miss, give that mage to Master Payne." A somewhat hoarse female voice came from the side of the living room.
Payne followed the sound and saw Angelia in her robe standing in the bedroom doorway.
Her face was a little haggard, but her red hair was bright, and there was not a single wound or scar on her exposed skin, and if it weren't for her slightly dull and empty green eyes, it would have been almost impossible to imagine that she had suffered a horrific torture before, and was close to death.
Completely restored overnight?
Payne's eyes flashed with brilliance, the secret medicine he knew was not impossible, but he didn't expect that Lin would be willing to invest so much money on Angelia.
"Why did you wake up so quickly? Can't sleep well? β
Lin An frowned, and immediately threw off Payne and walked over, reaching out to help her.
Angelia tried her best to tense her body, and then reacted and quickly relaxed, and when Lin An's hands touched her body, she was still a little stiff. A slight horror flashed in his eyes.
The anger that had been extinguished before surged again, and Lin An was very heartbroken, because the middle-aged mage was scheduled to be left for Angelia to vent and heal her psychological wounds, Lin An had nowhere to vent her anger, and couldn't help but glare at Payne coldly.
Payne was swept by a cold gaze, and his heart was also cold.
He dared to express his resentment in front of Lin An. It is also a matter of figuring out that Lin An has learned the truth and basically eliminated the killing machine. Based on the impression of an orthodox mage that Lin An had left on him before, Payne intuitively felt that Lin An was relatively strict in controlling his state of mind, and would not let his thirst for killing be, even if Lin An was a little angry, he would not be angry enough to kill people.
Otherwise, give him a hundred guts, and now he will never take the initiative to appear in front of Lin An.
Being glared at like this, Payne suddenly retreated, and the gentleman gently asked Angelia about the situation, and the two answered a few words to complete the scene. He was about to leave, but he heard Angelia say:
"If Master Payne wants to give an account to His Excellency Weinstein, please take that mage away."
Although she was petrified by that mage before, it was not that she couldn't feel the situation outside, and she knew the details of Lin An's process of saving her.
Lin An frowned, "Angelia ......"
"Miss. I didn't want to see that devil at all, and having a place where he was stored would make me breathe badly...... Moreover, I believe in Master Payne's methods, although not personally, but the thought that he will have to repeat the painful experience I have suffered for the next ten years gives me satisfaction. β
Angelia said. Slightly hollow green eyes looked at Payne, "Mage Payne won't let me down, will you?" β
"Of course." Payne smiled and glanced at Lin An.
"You can do whatever you want." Lin An smiled indulgently, and the faint fold between his eyebrows had disappeared.
Payne retracted his gaze, and said in his heart that it seemed that this love affair that had sheltered Angelia for two years before seemed to be heavier than he thought?
It's a pity that the original friendly relationship has come to this point, but this time the rift is so big that it is difficult to make up for it.
Payne didn't say anything more, and let the attendant leave with the unconscious middle-aged mage.
Closing the door, Salin set up an enchantment, and Lin An, who was walking towards the bedroom from the door, was already whispering softly.
"Angelia, you don't need to wronged yourself, if it weren't for that Westin, where would you suffer from this unwarranted disaster, if you weren't saved by me on the spot, I killed that Westin, it wouldn't be enough to vent my anger."
With the gradual improvement of his status, especially the retreat of the imperial capital in the turmoil, Lin An has gradually become accustomed to looking down on most people.
Especially after she now has the corresponding strength to support this self-confidence, in her opinion, it is just one or two magic families, which is not worth her embarrassment at all, and Angelia under her protection does not need to be wronged for this.
"During the two years that Miss was in the Ice Field, after all, I was protected by the Payne Mage family, and my injuries were completely healed by Miss."
Angelia's heart was warm, and she decomposed softly, and a touch of firmness flashed in her green eyes, "As a follower of Miss, if you can't help you too much, how can you make enemies for me." β
"Payne won't completely let go of this festival for the sake of that mage, the reason why he doesn't move is because he can't move."
Behind him, Salin interjected, and the corners of his mouth pouted with a slight coldness, "The twelve divisions of the Mage Tower were suddenly assigned to the northern line, and Atlanta lost the strong suppression of the elder group, and suddenly there was a vacuum, and it is strange that there is no chaos in the order below." Families like Kalanda and Westein, who rely on their masters, are okay to bluff now, but if they want to challenge someone they can'tβheh, let them know the reality! β
"Yes, Angelia, don't think too much, I know that you are afraid that Payne has sheltered your affection and their background, and you have taken the grudge against Payne on yourself, but in fact, this matter has come to this point, in addition to you being the direct cause, there is also the responsibility for me and Salin's miscalculation."
Lin An patted Angelia and said,
"We thought that our whereabouts were exposed, and we were designed by others, so we deliberately broke the situation violently, and by the way, we disturbed the water and diverted our attention...... Anyway, there is nothing in Atlanta right now that can make me jealous. Who knows, it's really a coincidence - but since it's done, it's doubtful to cover it up, just don't hold yourself back, we're about to leave anyway. β
Lin An explained.
"So that's the case, so to speak, Miss has entered the mountain very smoothly this time."
Angelia smiled a little sincerely, then pursed her lips. "But in the end, this matter is because I am not cautious enough, and I have not avoided the warning of the young lady - and the white-robed mage is also right, with my strength, I am really not worthy of being a follower of the young lady......"
Lin Angang frowned, and Angelia had already continued. "I have to work harder, and I can't lose Miss's face anymore."
The frowning brow suddenly relaxed. Lin An smiled, feeling that Angelia had changed a lot.
"Then I'll see."
Whether it is to seek a sense of security or to be stimulated, Angelia can take the initiative to open the knot in her heart, Lin An is happy to see it, and the hard training will occupy most of Angelia's mind, so that the shadow left by this time will slowly fade in her mind.
"No matter how prepared you have to endure hardships, you can't relax in training for a day."
"Miss, wait and see!"
β¦β¦
"They're gone?"
Sit behind a log desk with ivory boards. Payne took off a pair of plain black tortoiseshell glasses that were clamped to the bridge of his nose.
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, a long black flat box in front of him lit up red, flashing with the sound coming from inside.
"Yes, my subordinates watched their carriage drive out of the city...... However, the black-armored warrior who is suspected of being a Golden Sword Saint mentioned by Your Excellency also has a pure black demonic beast and a young child. The people who watched didn't see it, because of your advice, they didn't dare to get too close, so as not to be discovered by the other party, and most of the people you mobilized in the two nearby cities were scattered into the mountains. β
The sound coming from the box was a little distorted, and it was not very clear what it was saying. I can tell that he is a man with a dry voice.
"Well, it's okay, I always feel a little uneasy, before the information from the imperial capital is summarized, don't rush her first...... I don't know why, after I saw her this time, I always felt frightened, maybe the hole cards behind her are now only the tip of the iceberg. β
Payne rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
The male voice in the box was silent for a moment.
"Adults are not too sensitive. Judging from the situation you relayed, the black-armored warrior who suddenly appeared next to the Purple Rose Lady, whether it is a Golden Sword Saint is still uncertain, listening to his martial arts characteristics, it is more like a shadow guard next to the Venerable, it is likely that the elders behind her put it to her side, but even if you overestimate the power behind the Purple Rose Lady and use a Golden Sword Saint as a shadow guard, it is too extravagant and difficult to cultivate. β
After all, it is impossible for a master-level powerhouse to come out of nowhere.
In order to conceal the Merlin royal family, the mage tower spent countless efforts, and used countless resources and contacts during the period to secretly cultivate two successful people, Master Scarlett has multiple fake ID cards in several countries on the mainland, and often uses the power of the principality to erase the traces, so that the two new masters can be completely concealed under Merlin's nose.
Where is the master-level powerhouse so good, especially the unknown master, with the power of the magic principality, there are only two, what kind of strength does that lady have to be behind it, so that she can be extravagant enough to use the golden sword master that has been secretly cultivated as a shadow guard?
Of course, Payne couldn't believe it, but the omen in his heart was ominous, and he would rather wait and find out before he did it, rather than crash the ship and kill people after hitting the iceberg.
"Forget it, keep an eye on her first, as long as she doesn't lose her tracks, there are too few people to gather now, or the ruins are more important - since you focused on the ruins, what did you find?"
"Yes, we found some traces, and it is said that someone also sensed an earthquake in the mountains and forests near the ruins...... We suspect that the purpose of the Purple Rose Lady this time is indeed for the relics! β¦β¦β
