Chapter 0349 - Bull Slaying Dragon Planning (Third Update, Alliance Leader Supplement 12/18)
Chrissy Truth is sober.
Although she was still very weak, she had managed to sit on a stool under the toss of a commoner peasant woman, and could accept Liszt's questioning.
"So, Chrissy Truth is your name?"
"Yes, Lord Baron. Chrissy nodded, and then said in a voice that was still a little hoarse, "Thank you for saving me from the sea, and Chrissy doesn't know how to repay you for such kindness." β
Liszt said casually: "How about working for Flower Town?"
"Huh?" Chrissy didn't react, and according to her usual routine, she had to at least say a few polite words before talking about the return, "I ...... Of course, my life was saved by the Baron, and Chrissy is happy to work for you...... It's just that I'm a little worried that you, Lord Baron, will be implicated. β
The solicitation looked successful, and Liszt asked, "Implicate me?"
Chrissy nodded, "Don't you wonder why I fell into the sea?"
"I'm curious, you can tell me, I want to know this. β
"I ...... Since you are my savior, I should not hide anything from you, the matter is very serious, the involvement is huge, I hope that Lord Baron, you will only know about yourself, and it is better not to let a third person know. β
"Yes, you say, how to judge I will measure. β
Chrissy took a deep breath, her eyes were confused for a moment, and then she said slowly: "I thought I was dead, frozen in the ice by ice magic, and drifted along the sea to come here...... Coral Island, Flower Town, I was lucky to meet you, Lord Baron, who gave me a second life. β
She paused.
It seems to be sorting out thoughts.
After a while, he said: "Coral Island is in the middle of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and it is remote, maybe it will be too late for the news to reach here. β
"What's the news?" Liszt urged.
Chrissy looked carefully into the room to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then leaned forward and said in a low but serious voice: "Marquis Bull is preparing to assassinate the Grand Duke's dragon!"
"What!"
Liszt exclaimed, and then lowered his voice: "Chrissy, are you kidding me?"
"I didn't, Lord Baron, and I hope it's a fake news, but ...... I've been involved in this myself, and it's all true!" Chrissy's face became a little numb, "The magicians of the Goat's Gathering always thought that they were only studying the subject of dragons, and on the day of the eventuality, they learned that Marquis Bull used us to assassinate the Grand Duke's dragon. β
"Goat rally?"
"A gathering of a group of magicians, mainly on Ironhoof Island to do some research, we secretly accept the sponsorship of the Marquis of Bull. β
Liszt tried not to speculate too much, and just continued to ask, "What kind of goat gathering did you mean, the magic goat family?"
"Did the Baron know about the Goat Gathering, I thought it was a secret organization of magicians...... Yes, the Goat Gathering originated from the Magic Goat Family more than a hundred years ago, when many magicians were attached to the Magic Goat Family, and with an extermination disaster, the Goat Gathering was forced to move. β
They moved to Iron Hoof Island.
He hid for decades, until one day, a magician at the head of the Goat's Gathering established contact with the Marquis of the Bull.
From then on, the mages can stay in peace on Ironhoof Island, continue to engage in various research, and gradually grow. Chrissy joined the goat assembly fourteen years ago, when she was only ten years old and an apprentice in magic. It wasn't until the age of seventeen that she was promoted to magician.
I just turned 24 this year.
"I've always thought that the Goat Rally was just an ordinary magician exchange organization, and they didn't usually get together, but occasionally exchanged magic together. The great magicians in the assembly would also give us young magicians some research topics, and I was assigned a topic of 'can souls be stored'...... Ah, my soul tank...... Did you fall into the sea? β
Only then did she realize that she also had a piece of soul tank magic equipment.
Liszt was not embarrassed at all: "Is it the copper kettle, it may have been taken by my servant and stored in the warehouse of the castle, do you need it?"
"It's a magical piece of equipment, it's the collection of the great magician Rashid Truth, he gave me the soul tank to study after he assigned me a task, but I hated him for betraying the goat assembly, so when I ran away, I took the soul tank with me. β
She said very cooperatively, "Now that I don't plan to study the soul, let it be placed in the baron's warehouse." β
Smiling slightly, Liszt gestured: "Continue to tell your story." β
"Hmm. Chrissy glanced at Liszt, and a slight blush flashed on her face, "We young magicians are studying the subject every day, but there is a magician, Flo Truth, who is very active and always communicates with every magician...... He found that the problems of all of us could be combined into one big problemβhow to damage the soul of the dragon. β
Such a subject is not a thriller.
Just like many knights dream of being dragon slayers, magicians often fantasize about how to kill and maim a dragon.
But Flo, the young magician, got up with a mind and began a secret investigation, and then discovered a shocking conspiracy - the Marquis of Bull was plotting to slay the dragon. Of course, not only did he not inform, but on the contrary, he actively cooperated, because slaying dragons was also one of his dreams.
But when the subject was almost studied, the leading magicians of the goat assembly suddenly began to arrest the magicians scattered all over the world.
Kill somebody to do away with a witness.
"Flo told us to flee for our lives, and my teacher became my pursuer, and just when I thought I was going to die, she cast an ice magic on me, 'Frozen Ice', and pushed me into the sea...... My blessing pendant was given to me by my teacher to protect me from harm. β
Chrissy took out the silver coin pendant around her neck, and her eyes were dark: "I know that the teacher is going to assassinate the Grand Duke's dragon with the Grand Magicians of the Marquis of the Bull and the Goats...... I don't know if they succeeded. β
Liszt's brow furrowed.
The waves in his heart were turbulent, and the matter of slaying the dragon came into his ears like this, which caught him off guard: "Chrissy, I want to know, why does the Marquis of Bull slay the dragon, he is the bloodline of the Sapphire family!"
The original Marquis of Bull was the favorite youngest son of the first Grand Duke, and was named Earl of Bull when he was just an adult.
Andy Sapphire, the current Marquis of Bulls, is said to have grown up in the court, and is a childhood friend of the current Grand Duke, and serves as the Grand Duke's personal bodyguard, which can be described as intimate. The Bull family also did not change their surname, and established the Bull Horn Academy to train servants for the court.
It can be said that the bull family and the sapphire family are tied together, and one loses and the other prosperes.
The Marquis of Bull had no reason to slay the dragon and destroy the Great Wall.
Chrissy shook her head: "Probably because of ...... Immortal, I've heard from my teacher that the Magic Goat Family has mastered the transformation technology of the undead lich, and it is this technology that the Goat Gathering relies on to get in touch with the Marquis of Bull. β
Lich!
It's a lich again!
Liszt's face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce - this magic goat family was really haunted.
